PANAMA CANAL

Calls Splendid Feat of

Washington, D. C., June 10.—‘‘The

I', a conversation about the big enter

stimulate international trade anew.
While 1 do not look for any mar
velous returns on the investment at

that the advantages will accrue more
m sentiment than substance, yet the
accomplished fact will everywhere on
the globe ‘speed the plow,’ as did the
discovery of America with the imagin

visions of vast treasures to be found. I

in operating the canal. Certainly a I

great thing for ourselves, and the best
i art of the great thing is that we have
done it for the world.

coastwise ships free passage through

would be willing also to permit the
railways to operate steamships to and
through the canal, provided they were

roads ought by now to have ceased to

MAI SEEK
A SEAT IN
THE SENATE
“UiTiE jot* is mums
To Occupy Seat Once Held
By Father
Atlanta, June 11.—There is a well- ]
defined political belief that Gov
Joseph M.| Brown is grooming to
tackle Hoke Smith in the senatorial
race of 1014. That’s a long way off 1 and
there are other pots boiling just at
present, but the indications are that
nothing will finally settle the Hoke
Smith-Joe Brown political feud but old
age or the ultimate result of it.
Gov. Brown is making many friends
in his second administration and some
enemies; but these enemies are chiefly
the result of two viewpoints of duty,
and time may reconcile many of them
to the Governor’s course.
For instance, the Governor has made
a number of enemies in connection
with his refusal to grant clemency in
certain capital cases where white men
were sentenced to the gallows for
murder. In one case in particular, his
we are advised in our national consti
tution, a sensible and inflexible care
tor the interests of the public in the
essential matter of terminal facilities
these are agreeable things to con
template and hope for and have irn
uescent dreams about in what the fu
ture may yet nave in store for Ameri
can engineering genius, American
commercial prowess and American
statesmanship.”
refusal to commute to life imprison
ment brought him the hostility of a
number of prominent men who had
been his friends.
But the question arises, will they
not in time recognize the wisdom of
his course, when they understand, as
is undoubtedly the case, that his pur
pose is to strengthen the social bul
warks of the state by lessening the
probability of crime through the un
questioned certainty of punishment
There has been talk, desultory, it is
true, of Gov. Brown making the race
for the Senate; it has grown sofewhat
out of the purpose to present opposi
tion to Senator Smith, not in any
sense an organized purpose, but rather
£• general sentiment, and the name of
Gov. Brown has been most naturally
brought to the front in connection with
it.
The people of Georgia had an oppor
tunity at one time to get rid of Gov.
Brown, had they wanted to do i*.
When he made his second race against
Hoke Smith for governor he announc
ed in positive terms that, if elected, he
would ask nothing further politically
from the people of the state.
They didn't take him up, but at that
time elected Mr. Smith, thereby re
lieving the Governor from his pledge
Now it is but natural that having
served twice as Governor, Joe Brown
should seek to follow further in the
lootsteps of his distinguished father,
who after having served several terms
as Governor of the state, w T en to the
United States Senate from Georgia.
Gov. Brown himself never mentions
the subject and only smiles when it is
brought to his attention. That v.e
would like to go to the United States
Senate there can be no question; that
he would appereciate going as Senator
Smith's successor is still more cer
tain.
Os course now the 1914 proposition
is eclipsed by the presidential and
state races which are right at hand,
but in a year or so there is little ques
tion that it will loom big enough on
the horizon.
It does not appear that Senator A.

Thos. E. Watson, who w'ould, per

anyone else who has been mentioned
in connection with the contest this
year, has gotten out of it, whether be
cause of his little tilt with the federal
court or for other reasons, is not defi
nitely known.
This leaves only Hon. H. H. Perry of
Gainesville in the fight against Sen
ator Bacon, and so far as can be dis
cerned Mr. Perry has not even ruffled
the waters. He has published a few
lengthy advertisements presenting his
reasons for opposing Senator Bacon,
but the length of them has precluded
nnpthing like a general persusal. It
may be accepted as quite probable that,
more than 75 per cent, of the voters
of Georgia do not even know that Mr.
Perry is in the race.

A beautiful love story at The Savoy
today, a wedding all arranged, when
the government dispatches him to
Europe (he being an officer in the
navy) and the wedding was postponed.
Returning a few w’eeks later, on the
ship, he sends a wireless to his bride
to-be, saying, "Prepare for my arrival
and the wedding Thursday at Two
O’clock.” Thursday came, there also
came news that the ship had caught
fire and sank. She read the news, the

robbed her tortured thoughts; she for
got—knew not —knew aught.
Every morning she dressed for two
o'clock, but two o'clock never came,
for always they turned the cruel clock
back and made a liar of time.
The man had drifted to an island,
while days seemed like years to the
girl. Finally, he was picked up by a

Her mind brightened up and it was

CLARK’S FAME IS SHOWING
Has Map Well Daubed With
Red Spots
Washington, June 11.—" Put your
money on the red,” is the advice given
to all callers at Speaker Champ
Clark's office today.
“Look,” said Wallace Bassrord, the
speaker’s private secretary and cus

Lakes to the Gulf.”

impressive. Not only has Speaker
Clark now has a lead over the other
democratic candidates in the number
of ihstructed delegates to the Balti
more convention, but he has managed
]to capture most of the states that
cover the greatest amount of territory.
When one glances at the may he gets*
the impression that he is looking at a
background of solid red, with a few
blotches of yellow, blue, green and
purple scattered over it.
The speaker’s secretary has waited
many weeks in the hope of being able
to make his streak of red paint with
which Clark territory is marked, run
from ocean to ocean. He has now .
painted West Virginia, and the line is
complete. It begins with the eastern
shore of Maryland and ends with
California and Washington.
Mr. Bassford says hts may is the
most accurate of any that has been
prepared by campaign managers, and
that he is not giving the speaker more
delegates than he is absolutely assur
ed of getting. .
