“FRESH FROM THE BAT’
I’ve torn my biggest poem dovrti
Because some little boys
Who live a great way out of town,
And corncobs use for toys,
This lesson taught me long ago
When they were building sties —
Fine poems they in embryo,
Philosphers most wise.
The lesson that they taught me then
To you I now declare:
“Tear down that ugly crooked pen,
And build with greater care. >»
And it I long have tried to do
In building pens, you see,
To tear them down, begin anew
That they may better be.
Fit adjectives you should select,
With care construct each line.
No poem’s born of sheer neglect
Or lives without destgn.
And so thus striving day by day
For heaven’s shining crown
We scale the heights-round on the
(, way—
By poems we’ve torn down.

BOLSHEVIKS SWEEP
BEATS BACK POLES ON
AN EXTENDED LINE
Pole3 Don’t Like Terms Of Allies, But
It Is Conceded They Will
Have To Accept
Warsaw.—News from the battle
front is meager, but at last account*
the Poles were reported to have evac¬
uated Minsk, Kovel and other town*
toward which the Bolshevik are ap¬
proaching in their 1,200-kilometer (745
miles) westward sweep.
Many of the telegraph wires are
down and the railroads have been cut
at various points.
It is reported here that Minsk is
on fire, but it is not certain, owing
to the difficulties of communication,
whether the Bolshevik have yet occu¬
pied the city.
The Catholic archbishop hern has
appealed to members of the church to
Join the colors. A special mass has
been called at which prayers will be
offered for Poland’s safety.
The Russian residents of Warsaw
have held a mass meeting and begun
the organization of infantry and cav¬
alry detachments to fight the advanc¬
ing Bolsheviki.
The American Relief Association
and the American Red Cross have com¬
pleted their evacuation of Vilna in
the north and of Lemberg on'Ilie
southern front.
At * ast accounta the Bolshevik! were
kilometers from Vilna. Exten
»lve preparations have been made for
the defense of that city. Lemberg is
that yet in immediate danger,

What a presumption it is to have
woman suffragists tell us what great
things the women will do, if they get
the power hitherto exercised by men.
Do the women do their part in life
now so much better than the men as
to justify such expectations? There
are more homes neglected, with
houses unkept and children running
the streets, than there are business !

1. Cotton Exchange Regulations.
Helped perfect and had charge on
the final passage in the Senate of
tho Smith-Lever Act, to regulate
cotton exchanges, and to prevent
them os far as possible from put¬
ting down the price of cotton.
2. Cotton Markets Saved. Intro¬
duced and passed through the Sen¬
ate the resolution which obtained
from Great Britain in October,
1914, admission of our right to ship
cotton into Germany and Austria. As
a result, nearly three million bales
of cotton were shipped from the
United States into Northern and
Middle Europe before March 1,
1915, and the price advanced in
Georgia from below 6 cents to 10
cents a pound.
3. British Lawlessness Attacked
and Cotton Prices Protected. Great
Britain, during March, 1915, repu¬
diated her admissions, and ordered
cotton Northern shipped to neutral ports of
Smith Europe seized. Senator
attacked this British action,
and also attacked the order made

,
August 21, 1915, by Great Britain,
declaring cotton contraband! Brit¬
ish statesmen well knew their con¬
duct was illegal, and, largely to
check the hostile feeling caused by
the fight Senator Smith was lead¬
ing, British interests bought over
two million bales of cotton in Sep¬
tember, 1915. German interests
bought one million bales, hoping
cotton would be shipped to Ger¬
many. The shipment of the first
three million bales, and the pur¬
chase of the three million bales
just mentioned carried the price of
cotton in the Fall of 1915 to figures
higher than those at which it sold
before the war began. But for this
advance in the price of cotton there
would have been losses in ali lines
of industry and suffering by all
the people of Georgia and the
South.
4. Cotton Price Fixing. Helped
defeat in the Senate bills in 1917
intended to fix a maximum price
upon cotton without making the
maximum the minimum price. This
proposed legislation was especially
unfair because it would have pre¬
vented an advance in price, but not
a fall in price.
5. Cotton and the War Industries
Board. Fought Baruch's War In¬
dustries Board in September, 1918,
when they sought to create a sin¬
gle purchasing agency to buy cot¬
ton, and to fix a maximum price
for all cotton exported without
even guaranteeing against a fall
in price. Trades
6. Cotton and the War
Board. The War Trades Board,
after the Armistice, was hindering
the export of cotton. Senator
Smith hammered at them and
gradually succeeded in causing a
removal of restrictions. Finally,
about June 1, 1919, the Board re¬
moved the last restrictions upon
the export of cotton, and cotton
went to 36 cents a pound.
From the beginning of the World
War, for five years, Senator Smith
gave much of his time to keeping
open markets and obtaining a fair
price for cotton. In and out of the
Senate he worked, frequently using
the press of the East to publish
articles supporting the price of
cotton for which he paid out of his
own pocket. Work.
7. Agricultural Extension
Prepared and put through the Sen¬
ate, the Smith-Lever Act for agri¬
cultural extension work from the
colleges of agriculture, under which
farm demonstrators and teachers
of domestic science are employed.
8. Market Bureau. He introduced,
and put through the Senate the j
provision creating a Bureau of i

9. Vocational Rehabilitation at
and Wounded through Soldier*. Helped prepare
put the Senate the
Smith-Saycrs Act under which aid
is given to the injured soldier, te
enable him to prepare again for
active work. He has been an in¬
tense supporter of every measure
to relieve the condition of the In¬
jured soldier, and led the fight in
the Senate for the reoent $20.00 a
month increase in thedr compensa¬
tion.
10. Parcels Poet. Helped perfect
and put into active operation, the
parcels post.
11. Good Roads. Supported act¬
ively national on’the aid to good roads,
and while Post Office Com¬
mittee, with Senators Bankhead and
Swanson, perfected the plan which
was subsequently adopted by the
Senate.
12. Clayton Act. Served on the
sub-committee which perfected this
act and personally had charge of
the provisions legality of the bill recognia
ing the of farmers’ co-op¬
erative societies and labor organi¬
zations
13. Federal Reserve Banking
System. Actively supported and
helped perfect the Federal Reserve
Banking System. At his instance
the number of Federal Reserva
Banks was increased to twelve—
that a proper number might be lo¬
cated in the South, ana he was
largely instrumental in locating on#
of them in Georgia.
14. Farm Loan Banks. providing Helped
perfect and pass the act
for farm loan banks by which the
rate of interest charged to ownerc
of agricultural lands has been
greatly lessened, and by which
purchases of small farms are made
easier.
15. Nitrogen Plant. Helpi ir
feet and pass the Act under ich
the Government is creating plant*
for the production of nitrogen from
air, and supported aetivelv tha
provision requiring the use of these
plants in times of peace to furnish
their products to cheapen the east
of fertilizers for the farmer. I
16. Income Tax Reduction. Sen¬
ator Smith made the fight in the
Committee just after the
was signed, to reduce
the normal income tax one-third,
and every Georgian, when he pays
his income tax, is getting the bene¬
of this work of theiT senior
Senator.
17. Georgia Military Camps. Not
did Senator Smith render effi¬
service in securing military
for Georgia during the war,
his efforts were likewise di¬
towards securing for Geor¬
the contracts for the con¬
of these camps.
The permanent establishment of
Infantry Officers Training
biggest military schwn
the United States and the school
which West Pointers, after their
are sent for their a«
field training—at Camp Ben
Columbus, was due, in large
to the untiring efforts of
Smith.
During the last session of Con¬
he succeeded in stopping the
to dismantle Camp Gordon.
Smith urges the retention
this camp, that Georgia boya
boys from this section of the
who enlist in the army,
be permitted to receive their
near their homes. The
in the military bill, giv¬
an opportunity for men in the
to take vocational training
make special preparation introduced to
to oivil life, was
put through by Senator Smith.
Senator Smith on entering the
sought and obtained an m
to the Committee on
as membership oa
Committee gave him the best
to serve the farming
of his state. The worn
he has done for the farming
both of Georgia and of
country, were recognized in called the
platform, which
as achievements of
Party, to measures
Senior Senator had pre¬
and put through, naming the
Farm Demonstration
and Cotton exchange regula¬
and the Market Bureau aad
Acts:
Senator Smith has never spared
in his earnest and xealons
of all measures which
be of value to his constitu¬
and has never failed to op
those which he believed wo*
or injure them.
