8 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1913. SENATOR HOKE SMITH RENDERS AN ACCOUNT 0F HIS STEWARDSHIP (Continued from Page 3.) thoroughly in vocational education. I believe it to be entirely proper to aid and encourage instruction of this char acter by appropriation from the na tional treasury. I regard vocational education as en tirely distinct from the agricultural ex tension work to which I have just re ferred, and with a purpose of separat ing the two I have asked for the ap pointment of a commission to study and report to congress this winter upon the problem of national aid to voca tional education. I would not approve national inter ference with our state schools, but I do believe that a plan can be matured where national aid distributed through state organizations would help stimu late the training of children for the various pursuits of life, and that such appropriations will bring a great con tribution to the brosperity of the en tire country, and \o the happiness of all the people. MARKETING CROPS. Early last yeax, after a conference with the president and other officers of the Farmers' union, I introduced a bill to create a market division in the de partment of agriculture. The work of this division was to investigate systems of marketing farm products, co-opera tive and otherwise, in practice in va rious sections of the United States, to collect data with reference to them and to distribute the data thus collected to farmers and farm organizations. Investigation has disclosed the fact that an alarming waste takes place be tween the producer and consumer of farm products. Where the farmer re ceives a dollar the average consumer pays two dollars for the farm product. To learn how to stop this waste," and to divide the saving between the farmer and the consumer is the great problem of the market bureau of the agricultural department. I succeeded in having attached to the agricultural appropriation bill a pro vision under which this division has al ready been started in the agricultural department, and I believe it will grow to be of great service to the farmers and to the people generally. REORGANIZATION OF THE SEN ATE. The complaint for years has Justly been made that the senate of the Unit ed States failed to respond to the wish es of the people, that its action was too mhch dominated by the influences of special interests, and that rights and the welfare of the great body of the ■ people had scant hearing in the uppe r house. One of the evils connect ed with the plan of organizing the sen ate which had contributed to j.ustify this complaint was the rule of sen iority of service which gave to sen ators all the prominent positions, both the chairmanships and the places lower down on the committees of chief im portance, due solely to the length of tifne senators had served in the sen ate. I believed that this practice was fundamentally wrong, that It put tne power with either party in the sen ate in the hands of a few. With sev eral other senators early- last Decem ber I determined to seek the overthrow of the old rule of seniority and the es tablishment of a form- of organization more democratic in its character and more serviceable la, its results. After full conference we determined to ac cord the chairmanships of the various committees to senators based upon length of time of service, but not to concede second places upon any com mittees to senators simply on account of thedr length of service. The plan which we adopted prevail ed in the Democratic caucus, and those of us who advocated this plan named the new officers of the caucus and elect ed the new steering committee, which in turn assigned the various senators to committee positions. The old sen ators were given the most prominent chairmanships, but new senators were placed upon all the leading commit tees with a disregard to the rule of seniority never before known in the senate. I hardly think anyone will doubt that this change has worked to the advantage of the party and the country. TARIFF BILL. The finance committee organized un der this new practice has reported to the senate the house tariff bill with a number of amendments. For the first time in fifty years legislation intended to take the burdens off the masses of the people has found no resistence in the Democratic senate. It must be conceded by all that the senate Demo crats have made the tariff hill more Democratic than it was when it reached the senate. I will say for my asso ciate Democrats on the finance commit tee of the senate, after ^working with them an average of ten hours a day Tor more than two months, I have nev er known nine men to show more entire freedom from Improper - influence or more devoted purpose in everything they did to serve the great body of their fellow citizens. Nearly all the time for half a century the Republican party has maintained a protective tariff so high that foreign competition in many lines of industries was prevented. Then under a system which it fostered combinations de stroyed domestic competition. The consumers of the country were forced to pay largely more for what they used than would have been charged them un der fair competition among sellers. The Republican party has gone further. It has made favorites out of particular classes. It has received from them the funds with which to carry on their cam paigns and in return has paid them back ten fold by the money which it has aided them to unjustly take from the pockets of the people. f>LAN OF TARIFF REDUCTION. The Democratic party has undertaken to reform the tariff downward for the purpose of stopping as far as possible this system of legalized robbery. The plan of the Democratic tariff bill in volves several different propositions. First, the raising of revenues. Second, the production of legitimate competition, to the end that fair prices shall be charged consumers. Third, no taxes, or the lowest possi ble taxes, upon the necessaries of life and those things used by the great body sf the people. Fourth, high taxes upon luxuries. Each of these propositions has en tered into the construction of the new tariff bill. For the work of the Demo crats of the house, shown by the tariff bill which they sent us, I accord the highest praise, but I declare without fear of dispute, the Democrats of $he senate have improved the bill, and have made it more completely conform to the four purposes which I have men tioned. LfNDERWOOD ON THE HOUSE BILL. Addressing the house of representa tives in support of the Democratic meas ure, Congressman Underwood when pre senting the Democratic measure to the house said to the Republicans: "On common soap you place a tax of CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. His Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the gtgnauire of I 20 per cent. We have lowered the tax to 5 per cent. You taxed the furniture of the poor man 35 per cent. We have lowered it to 15 per cent. You taxed bread and biscuits 20 per cent. We placed them on the free list. On cotton clothing you taxed the people of this country 50 per cent. We have reduced it to SO por cent. On the flannels that protect them in the winter from the storms you taxed the people of the United States over 96 per cent, and we have reduced the tax to 25 and 35 per cent. You taxed the shoes of the people of the United States, after giving the shoemaker free raw material, you taxed them 10 per cent. We give free shoes to the people of America.” SENATE ACTION ON THE TARIFF. With the fullest praise for what the Democrats of the house did. I wish to say that the Democrats of the senate sustained the reductions made by the •*wuse, and after investigations made ad dition reductions of great importance. The house Democrats put flour upon the free list, but taxed wheat. The sen ate Democrats put both upon the free list. The house Democrats put meat upon the free list, but taxed cattle. The j senate Democrats put meat and cattle both upon the free list. The house Democrats left a tax of 25 per cent upon cheap woolen blankets. The Democrats of the senate put them upon the free list. The house taxed wool of the angora goat and alpaca. The senate Democrats put them on the free list. The house Democrats taxed flax and hemp; the senate Democrats put them upon the fre e list. The house Democrats taxed pig iron, and steel billets, and ferro manganese. The senate Democrats put them on the free list. The house Democrats taxed text books. The senate Democrats placed them on the free list. Both the house and senate Democrats placed jute bagging and cotton ties on the free list. Both placed wire fencing on the free list. Both placed agricultural implements on the free list, and what has been known as the farmers’ free list, so much discussed two years ago, when passed by the house and rejected by the senate, Is now contained in the tariff bill which passed the house and which has been approved by the Democratic caucus of the senate without a dissent ing vote. And what I wish to say to you today is we have the votes in the senate to pass the bill. There has been a mistaken idea in seme parts of Georgia that a high pro tective tariff was helping a portion of our industries. This view has been ab sorbed by those who entertained it without carefully studying in detail the effect which the protective tariff has had upon us. Take our cotton indus tries. The products made in Georgia are produced as cheap as they are any where in the world. Had our cotton manufacturers been allowed to buy their machinery In the free markets of the world, they would have bought it at one-third less than it cost them. There may be an occasional industry in Georgia which ar protective tariff has benefited, but our people as a rule have been buyers of those things which a protective tariff has made artificially expensive, while their great product, cotton, has been sold with a price fixed by the free markets of the world. Our farmers have been overcharged for the things which they are com pelled to buy because of excessive prices maintained by the exclusion of foreign competition. It has been con ceded that, while the government col lected three hundred millions of dollars each year from the tariff, the industries in the United States, which the high tariff was intended to help, collected over a billion of dollars more from the people than they could have charged but for the exclusion of foreign competi tion. These burdens fell upon all the people of our state, but were especially heavy upon the farming classes, who in no respect receive any benefit. I believe that^the adoption of our neV tariff bill will mark an era of prosper ity throughout the country. The indus tries heretofore protected will not lose in the long run by competition, but, spurred through it to greater effort, they will seek their profits by broader trade; dependent not alone upon taking the dollars of their neighbors, they will reach into the markets of the world for the sale of their commodities. The great body of consumers will feel a substantial lightening of their bur dens. A wider opportunity for indi vidual effort will be given. The aver age man will have a better chance. I do not mean that these changes will come instantly, but they will come gradually, and they will jbe more and more perceptible each year for several years. It is impossible to say just when we will vote upon the tariff bill In the senate. I believe we will certainly vote before the end of six weeks, possibly in much less time. I. do not think any considerable delay will take place In conference. I believe the differences between the twb houses will readily be adjusted by the Democrats in the two bodies and the measure be soon passed with the approval pf the Democrats of both houses. CURRENCY LEGISLATION. Few men who have studied our cur rency system fail to realize that there are radical defects which should be ov ercome. I will name two: First, the concentration of currency in the reserve city of New York, creating a dependency of ^he entire country upon the reserve banks of New York for currency when it Is scarce. Second, the lack of elas ticity of our currency and inability to increase it as demand requires. The currency bill which has been in troduced both in the senate and in the house meets these two difficulties. It will free tlie cuntry from dependence upon Wall street. It will facilitate an increase of currency to meet especial demands for same. It will make a cur- ency panic impossible. I am thoroughly opposed to a central bank. It would be controlled by the same men who now control the currency of the country. believe that the pro vision for enlarging the currency should be under government supervision There are many features in the bill which I thoroughly approve. There are others which I believe should ^be changed. It will be my purpose to help as I can perfect the bill. Finally, after having sought to make those changes which I think should be made and after helping to bring it as nearly as possible to what I think it should be, I shall not set up my Judgment against the bill as perfected although it may lack some features I would wish it to contain, and contain some that 1 would wish it to lack. I think' the Democrats of the house and senate should make it as near ly perfect as possible, and then support it. There are features in the tariff bill against which I voted in the committee, but there comes a time when individual opinion must yield to the majority. There are two features connected with the currency bill upon which I have strong convictions. We are using $750,- 000,000 of national bank notes as cur rency. These notes are secured by the deposit in the treasury of $760,000,000 of bonds issued by the government, and bearing two per cent interest. The banks paid par for bonds bearing only two per cent interest because they could use these bonds bearing two per cent interest as a basis for their national bank notes. It is urged if the national bank notes are to be withdrawn from circulation it would be only fair for the government to give to the banks a bond bearing a rate of interest which would sell for one hundred cents on the dollar, and those who have urged the retirement of the national bank notes have suggested, that LITTLE GIRL FLAGS A TRAIN, SAVES PASSENGERS AND CREW Edith Brown, Living Near Grantville, Ga., Prevents Wreck on Atlanta and West Point Railroad Engineer Charlie M^cDade, of the A. & W. P. whisteled for the worst curve on the road. It was late In the aft ernoon and his train was behind time. Leaning far out of the cab window he strained his eyes at the point where the rails gleamed for an instant and disappeared around a bank of red dirt. He glanced at the gauge. The old boat was making 32 miles an hour. As the wheels clanked across the frogs McDade suddenly put on the air brakes and closed the throttle. He had seen her, a little girl with hair flying in the win'd, standing Just In front oT the curve and waving a red blanket from side to side. Iron snarled against iron. The engine roared around the bend and stopped Behind it ten cars packed with passen gers stopped, too. Engineer and fireman leaped from the cab and ran down the track. Some dozen feet from the nose of the cow catcher they found it, a bad washoux which would have dumped them all into eternity in another second. The little girl was Edith Brown, aged 14 years, of R. F. D. route No. 1, near Grantville, Ga. She herself had dis covered the washout, had hurried home ward, seized a red blanket, and return ed in- time to save the train. »/hen the train crew got back in At lanta Friday they brought the news of her heroism. Engineer McDade, who lives at 61 Ashland avenue, Conductor Cline, and Road Fbreman Musgrove, who was on the engine at the time, have raised a subscription among the train crew and when next they stop at Grantville they will present the little girl with a beau tiful gold locket.

PORTER’S ANTISEPTIC HEALING OIL. 25c. JUDGE VINSON TO BEGIN CAMPAIGN AT EARLY DATE Baldwin County May Put Three Candidates for Congress in Race OSpecial Dispatch to The Journal.) MILLEDGEVILLE5, Ga., July 21.— Baldwin county may furnish three can didates for congress next year in the person of Judge Carl Vinson, Solicitor Joseph E. Pottle and Colonel J. D. How ard. The former is the only one who has openly announced, but It is under stood that Colonel Pottle is contemplat ing entering the contest, and Colonel Howard has long been considered a probable candidate. It is announced that Judge Vinson will begin an aggressive campaign at once, and Mr. Howard, who is a native of McDuffie county and still has large business interests there, may also begin to actively push his claims. The situa tion is extremely interesting in view of the fact that, though Baldwin county was once the seat of state government and many of its citizens, were learned in statecraft, it has not had a congress man since the war, but now three as pirants may seek the office. Indict Denver Papers For Printing"Indecent" Miss "September Morn. (By Associated Press.) DENVER, Col., July 21.—Executives of four of Denver’s daily newspapers were indicted yesterday on charges of printing certain advertisements of med icines,, in violation of a state law, “in decent” pictures of bathing girls and incidentally reproducing the painting, “September Morn.” The charges were filed by the Citizens’ Protective league. Anniston Is Delighted Over “September Morn” (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) ANNISTON, Ala., July 21.—For the nonce Anniston has forgotten that she is in the cellar of the Georgia-Ala- bama league; slit skirts, silhouette gowns, the turkey trgt and the tangb and other problems have been shoved aside while the city authorities grapple with the universay problem of “Sep tember Morn.” “September Morn” was put on dis play in an Anniston store Friday morn ing. Neither Mayor Wikle nor Chief of Police Shiretzki, nor any of the al dermen has as yet assumed the role of city commissioner to rob Miss Morn of her glory, but local art lovers are on the qui vive lest she be barred from public gaze. Sea Lion Goes on Lark; Smashes Plate Glass. Holds Crowd at Bay (By Associated Rress.) CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 21.—Cam bridge had a real sea lion hunt last night. The animal came up out of the Charles river basin and invaded an East Cambridge street, where it flopped about, barking loudly, and frightened a crowd which retreated before it. At tracted by the light of a store, It leap ed four feet through the window, smash ing the heavy plate glass. The pro prietor of the store, Isaac Friedman, who was counting his cash, left in a hurry, while the animal raised havoc in the place. A small squad of police reserves tried to confine it in a packing box, and in a big sheet of canvas, but It smashed one and ate its way through the other. Finally men from the Boston aquarium lassoed it and sent it to that institu tion. There it was said to be a good speci men of a California sea lion, about three years old and weighing more than 200 pounds. “A rare visitor in New England waters,” one of the officials said. GIRLS OF APPLING HOLD CANNING DEMONSTRATION the government call in the bonds bearing two per cent and substitute for them bonds bearing three per cent interest. I am opposed to the substitution of three per cent bonds for two per oent bonds. Instead of increasing the rate of interest which we paid upon these bonds $7,600,000 a year, I believe that eertainly soon after the proposed cur rency reforms go into effect, the gov ernment could take up the present two per cent bonds with treasury notes, sub stituting these treasury notes to the amount of $760,000,000 for the national bank notes. Instead of increasing our interest account $7,600,000 a year, by this course we would reduce it $15,000,- 000 annually. We have now $985,500,000 of gold coin deposited in the treasury, and gold cer tificates issued for it. These gold cer tificates circulate as money all over the United States. We have $150,000,000 re serve gold held against $346,600,000 of what is commonly called greenbacks. We have $103,500,000 of unapplied gold in the treasury. Our gold coin in the treasury there amounts to $1,237,000,- 000. We could easily substitute treasury notes for the gold certificates and for the greenbacks. If we then further more substituted treasury notes for the national bank notes, we could place the $750,000,000 of bonds now bearing in terest against the government in the treasury to be used if necessary to in crease our supply of gold making really a reserve amounting in gold to $1,237,- 000,000 and, in bonds, to $750,000,000 against an issue of treasury notes amounting to $2,084,000,000. The most cautious would concede that this condition would be safe and I vast ly prefer such a course to the issue of bonds bearing 3 per cent interest, or even to the continuation of the outstand ing 2 per cent bonds. No currency system would be com plete that did not take into considera tion the importance of farm credits. Thorough study is now being given to this subject, and I believe in the near future action will be had by which rates of Interest charged to farmers may be reduced and increased facilities given for farm loans. Without discussing further in detail what has been taking place during the past two years in Washington, I wish to say that if every day had forty-eight hours and there was nothing to do but to work, every hour would furnish there an opportunity to serve you. THE PRESIDENT. In conclusion, let me remind you that the last time I spoke in Georgia was at the auditorium when I presented Gov ernor Wilson to the people of the state. I assured the audience of his purpose and ability to serve, and of his strength as a candidate. We made no mistake when we nominated him. We won the fight for the Democratic party. Thepeople of the country made no mis take when they elected him. The school teachqr has shown himself to be a po litical leader unexcelled. A practical as well as a theoretical master of great economic problems. He already ranks with the great presidents of the early days of the republic. I hear from all the states of the union that if an elec tion were to take place now Woodrow Wilson would not only receive a plu rality over Roosevelt and Taft, he would receive a majority over them both. Out of this Democratic administra tion much good will come for the en tire country, but especially for our own section, reinstated and rehabilitated, great in the past, and to be far greater in the future. BAXLEY, Ga., July 21.—The Girls’ Canning club of AppHng county has had several very interesting can ning demonstrations at various places recently. Miss Annie Lou Tappan, of Greensboro, Ga., director, is untiring in her efforts to make the work pleas ant and prof table to every one. Her instructions are clear, concise, brief and plain.

He was formerly grand prelate of the grand commandery of Knights Templar of Georgia. HART COUNTY FAIR WILL BE HELD NOV. 4, 5 AND 6 HARTWELL, Ga., July 21.—The dates for this year’s Hart county fair have been definitely decided upon, being No vember 4. 6 and 6, and all indications are that it will surpass all expectations in exhibits and attendance.

REVENUE SERVICE EXAMS WILL BE HEED AUC. 16 Announcement Made Affects Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D.

It is held that commissions of all deputies expire automatically with that of the collectors, and it is optional with the new collector whether he re appoints former deputies or from the eligible list. The following is one of the letters, which shows on its face that Democrats for the first time in many, many years will have an opportunity to secure places in the revenue service in Geor gia: “House of Representatives. “Washington, D. C. “Sir:—On June 24, 1918, this office requested the civil service commission to hold additional examinations in the state of Georgia for the purpose of se curing additional eligibles for appoint ment to positions in the internal reve nue sevice. “I have been advised by the commis sion that the examinations requested will be held on August 16, 1913, at the following places: “Atlanta. Augusta, Columbus, Macon and Savannah, and that all applications for entrance to said examinations should be in the hands of the civil service commission by August 11, 1913. “As numerous Inquiries nave been made relative to appointments in the internal revenue service, and as the commissions of deputy collectors of in ternal revenue automatically expire with that of the collectors by whom they were commissioned and appointed, and as it is possible that many new conectors may not elect to recommis sion the old deputies, it is suggested that you give this information wide publicity, in view of the facV that all positions in the internal revenue serv ice are within the classified civil service and appontments thereto are made from til* eligible registers of the civil serv ice commission. “Respectfully, “W.

Bryan had or. executive conference with the senate foreign relations committee at the capitol today and while the Mexi can situation was touched upon, it was said the primary object of the meeting' was to consider renewals of arbitration treaties with Great Britain, France and other countries. Renewals were delayed some time ago on objection of Senator Chamberlain to the treaty with Great Britain. He fear ed a renewal might compel the United States to arbitrate the Panama o&nal tolls dispute. President Wilson has expressed t& Chairman Bacon a wish that the new «• treaties be ratified and Secretary Bryan has predicted they would be. Later when the senate assembled Sen- ^ ator Fall sprung a mild sensation by * asking the adoption of a resolution de fining a policy of the government re garding foreign relations. It declared that every American citizen and hid property everywhere must be protected * by the United States. Senator Fall has been a keen critio of the government’s Mexican policy.
