The Foolish Calumnies
O] a\Defeated Clique
THE public can hardly have failed to
observe witbi amusement that the
gentlemen who are leading the gas
attack against Georgia’s senior Senator have
grown strangely silent upon the issue with
which they launched their campaign, and on
which, indeed, theytprofessed to be waging
the entire contest. :A fortnight ago it was
the Senator’s attitude toward the League of
Nations that stirred their ire and called forth
their volleys of That his war record
was above reproach-and that his services to
business, agriculture and education were ex
ceptionally substantial, they could not gain
say. But, they would vehemently cry, he
is against the League covenant without
reservations! He insists upon modifying i
Article Ten! He has voted with the Re
publican majority against “the President’s
wishes! (That he voted with the Democratic
majority also and that it was the union of
unbending anti-reservhtionjsts and “bitter
enders” which finally kept the Treaty from
passing, the Senator’s enemies failed to
Itate.)
As to the merits of that decisive vote they
themselves had nothing to say; for as a
matter of fact they knew ; and cared as
little about Article Ten as a Cobb county
lalf cares about Halley’s-comet. Neverthe
ess they induced Attorney General Palmer
io come down and _plead their case, and
Jven to offer up himself as their candidate.
Well, the Attorney General came, saw, and
collapsed. He had expected, of course, to
find a great issue to, argue and a genuine
cause to champion. ' But scarcely had he
alighted amongst hig_ unhappy clients when
he found that the issue in their minds was
an old bitter, local fetid utterly irrelevant to
national questions off the hour, and that the
cause dear to their hearts was the political
loaves and fishes on which they dreamed of
leasting if haply they might push their little
ichemes to success. The situation was enough
to daunt and disgust a far less Quakerish
spirit than Mr. Palmer’s. He discovered,
moreover, that the people of Georgia are not
so fervidly enthusiastic over the League cov
enant, in precisely the form in which it came
from Pa»is. as he hid-been led to Believe.
Indeed, as he faced audiences here and there
he would detect a chilliness toward
the idea that reservations are all iniquitous
ind that the Treaty sffould be ratified just as
the Executive Department desires, regardless
of what the Senate Relieves. “Chilliness,”
we'gay. If he had tattled a while longer and
looked a bit further h£ would have found out
right and far-reachii^. -hostility. He would
have found it, not only amongst those who
regard the League plaa without reservations
as unjust and dangerous to American insti
tutions, but also amongst those who are so
heartily for the largeir;principle and purpose
of the League that tßey-consider it indefen
sibly wrong not to s£cept certain modifica
tions in order to sav® the great ideal from
utter rejection. ’ §
It is on this ground that The Journal has
stood from the day it~became evident months
ago (long before the present contest in Geor
gia was dreamed of)£hat there could be no
treaty and no covenant without substantial
reservations. It is Upon this same ground
that the rank and filesof the League’s firmest
friends have taken ffceitiatand. It was to
this end that twentj-thrge Democratic Sen
ators, among thftnj; Senator Hoke Smith,
voted for the Treaty’s adoption along with
the reservations. Ittwas against this end
that the other Democratic Senators joined
with irreconcilables like Borah and Reed and
prevented the adoption. And it was
that very policy, thatTTnbg’nding, illogical, ir
rcconcilableoattitude, that the Georgia ene
mies of Senator Smith undertook to defend
when they launched’their campaign.
But wheiteas at the outset they were
voluble and violent on the League-of-Nations
issue, they have groWh aS silent thereon as a
Hindenburg battery .on the afternoon of the
armistice. Something has shut up their Big
Bertha?. Something-', has persuaded them to
leafih in their yelping “convictions” on Arti
cle Ten. The fact is, of course, they care no
less for the League covenant. now than at the
beginning, because they never cared at all.
They have simply discovered that Hoke Smith
cannot be worsted before his fellow Georgians
upon that question. . He has left his enemies
without an inch of rallying ground on their
great original issue.
Wherefore they have drunk deep of. the
“moonshine” liquor of wrath and plunged in
to a veritable spree of slander. Though the
senior Senator supported every war measure
from first to last, including the Selective
Service act on which some of the loudest of
his present traducers stdod in sheepish neu
trality, they call him disloyal. Though he
voted, even prior to our entrance into the
war. for the resolution to arm American
merchant ships that they might shoot U-boats
at sight, and argued for this resolution with
such warmth that he came near a personal
difficulty with LaFollette, they shut their
eyes, choke down their conscience and call
him “pro German.’’ They attribute to him
statements touching the Lusitania, which he
never made, and thoa. proceed to denounce
him for those statements., notwithstanding
that they themselvessgave utterance at the
time to precisely the sentiment which they
now condemn as “pgo Prussian.” Senator
Smith never declared ' that “the United
States should not go., to war with Germany
because of her having sunk the good ship
Lusitania.” But one -Gt Senator Smith’s bit
terest assailants in the present campaign did
declare in cold print, just twenty-four hours
THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
after news of the dread crime and disaster
reached our shores: “After all is said, we
must still go slow-, except as to making clear
our protest and the fact that reparation will
be demanded.” And two days later: “In a
month or two we will be able to view in the
same (sane?) light the present German inci
dent. We will be able to see clearly that
the most unfortunate step that could have
been taken would be a declaration of war.”
Yet the very pen from which these cool coun
sels fell when sentiment against the Hunnish
deed was hottest, now pours denunciation
upon Georgia’s senior Senator because for
sooth he gave expression (as they allege,
but as he denies) to that same opinion.
In riddling this flimsy canard the Senator
remarked that “Germany did not notify
Americans to stay off the high seas until
February 1, 1917.” That, as anyone who
glances at the official record of events can
verify, was the date upon which the cam
paign of indiscriminate U-boat warfare was
announced to begin—the date, It may truly
be said, which predestined America’s en
trance into the world conflict. So well authen
ticated a fact, one might assume, would go
unchallenged by intelligent observers. But
not so with Senator Smith’s detainers. They
will not accept history because history is on
his side. Instead, they go back to a German
advertisement which von Bernstorff caused
to be inserted in a few newspapers in this
country in the spring of 1915, some two
weeks before the sinking of the Lusitania,
in which travelers were vaguely warned
against taking passage on Allied vessels.
Now, it is well remembered that the Ger
man Government contended that this obscure
and casual advertisement constituted a due
notice against Americans’ traveling the high
seas, and upon that ground sought to ex
tenuate the Lusitania crime. But no one in
this country, outside of a few hpyhenates,
ever concurred in that claim except Senator
Smith’s precipitate foes of today. They swal
low the German contention whole, and de
nounce him as a falsifier because he sticks to
thß American record.
But surely the public is prepared for any
emanations from those quarters since it was
solemnly informed a few days ago that the
Lusitania was sunk on her homeward voy
age, laden with wounded American soldiers.
If something is not done to relieve the brain
tempests of the Senator’s enemies, they will
soon be telling us that Christopher Columbus
sank the Lusitania and that Hoke Smith is
being aided and abetted by the man in the
moon. It is a sad fate, we grant, to fare
doughtily forth with the League of Nations
for an issue, only to be driven back in pell
mell confusion. But that misfortune does not
justify a political clique in flinging all
scruples to the wind and dashing headlong
into preposterous libels against as able and
as devoted a public servant as Georgia or the
South ever knew.
The South Atlantic District.
Arguing cogently for the request that the
Federal Shipping Board, in its reorganization
plans, make a single operating district of the
States of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas,
the Florida Metropolis points out that in this
South Atlantic region are some of the most
important ports of the entire country and
that their foreign commerce is now being de
veloped to an unprecedented extent. Further:
Scores of shipping board ships will be oper
ated out of them, and it seems on the surface
that there is no logical reason why the ship
ping board cannot create its districts so that
these states might be in one district. The
norts of the four states have already organ
ized vigorous campaigns for the development
of their business jointly. They have displayed
a most unselfish spirit. They are working
together for the common good of all and this
spirit should count heavily with the govern
ment in its consideration of the petition for
the South Atlantic district.”
Not merely in the interest of this district
but for the common country’s well-being, ev
ery rightful means for the development of
the ports of Savannah, Brunswick, Jackson
ville, Charleston and Wilmington should be
adopted. For upon the larger utilization of
these valuable outlets for our overseas com
merce, the efficiency of American transporta
tion and the prosperity of American business
are notably dependent.
IF YOU DESPAIR
By H. Addington Bruce
SUDDENLY* out of a clear sky, bad news
has come to you.
You have perhaps received notice of
dismissal from a position you have ’ been
holding for years. Perhaps a financial panic
has swept away your savings of a lifetime.
Or perhaps the doctor has warned you that
you are afflicted with a serious disease.
In any of these events the tendency is
strong to yield to despair. Resist this ten
dency with all the will-power at your com
mand.
For, deplorable as your condition may
seem, it is certain to become infinitely worse
if you despair. Then, indeed, all possibility
of working away out of the disaster that
has befallen will be swept away from you.
Whereas, by courageously clinging to hope
you may unexpectedly find yourself drawing
on reserves of energy sufficient to retrieve
your fallen fortunes, it may be sufficient even
to conquer disease itself and win for you
many more years of life.
Despair, understand this well, is some
thing more than a. state of mental misery.
It is an active agent of evil, whose mischiev
ous effects extend to every part of the hu
man organism.
Like fear and worry—of which it is an
exaggerated compound—it generates poi
sons which, sweeping through the blood,
reach the brain to cloud the judgment, par
alyze initiative, numb every mental faculty.
The heart, the arteries, the stomach, ev
ery organ is harmfully affected by the toxin
of despair. So. potent is it that, as expe
dience numerously testifies, it may turn the
hair gray in a single night.
Consider, therefore, what this must mean
to one whose financial rebuilding, whose
very life itself, may be dependent on a
heightening of personal energy. Instead of a
heightening there is bound to be, under the
influence of despair, a steady and profound
decline.
But hope energizes as surely as despair
devitalizes. Hope is not a mere soporific, not
a mere nyodyne in time of trouble. It is a
positive, dynamic generator of new strength.
With reason the poet Young affirmed:
“Hope of all passions most befriends us
here.”
With equal reason, and more specifically,
the modern psychologists explain:
“Experience shows that all the bodily
processes are quickened by pleasant emotion
al attitudes. These influence favorably ev
ery organ and function, from the beating of
the heart to the working of the brain.
“Hope is distinctly a pleasant emotional
attitude. It. is one of the pleasantest. In pro
portion, then, as it is spontaneously develop
ed or sedulously cultivated it exercises on
the organism a beneficial influence reflect
ed in increased bodily vigor and increased
power to achieve.”
Often it is hard indeed to hope. Often
despair seems the inevitable thing. But since
despair and perish may almost be written
interchangeably, he is indeed foolish who
lets despair possess his soul.
I am reminded, and would remind you,
of the old Chinese query:
“To what purpose would a person throw
himself into the water before the bark is go
ing to be cast away?”

papers.)
JFhy a Friend oj the Farmer
Supports Senator Smith
AMONG the steady streams of indorse
ments that pour in for Senator Hoke
Smith’s candidacy from agricultural
and business leaders none is more cordial or
more significant than that of Mr. James D.
Weaver, vice president of the Georgia Farm-'
ers’ Union. Speaking as a watchful advocate
of the interests of the man behind the plow,
Mr. Weaver declares:
I am supporting Senator Hoke Smith
in this campaign because I regard him
as the ablest representative the agricul
tural interests have ever had in Wash
ington. either from Georgia or any other
state; because I think the time has come,
when the Democratic South, which fur
nishes the votes to elect Democratic
presidents, should begin to furnish the
presidential nominees; because Senator
Smith is qualified in every respect, by
ability and experience, to serve as presi
dent, and in that office, as in the senate,
would be a conspicuous champion of the
interests of the farmers, upon whose
prosperity the nation depends.
This, be it observed, is not the tribute of
a politician; it is the tribute of a keen and
seasoned student of agricultural legislation.
It is the tribute of one who invariably ap
plies to public men and measures what is
aptly called “the orchard test” —“By their
fruits ye shall know them.” Year after year
he has watched the record of Georgia’s
senior Senator in its making; has seen him
go into battle after battle where the rights
and interests of agriculture were at stake;
has seen him come forth again and again
with victory for that cause; has found him
ever diligent, ever fearless, ever effective.
“What Georgia farmer,” Mr. Weaver con
cludes, “knowing Senator Smith’s record can
be against him? What Georgia farmer, in
dorsing that record, can fail to go to the
polls and vote for him on the 20th of April?”
That question is of utmost importance to the
cause of agriculture and to the cause of De
mocracy. It will be answered, we doubt not,
with an intelligent, a patriotic and an over
whelmingly decisive vote for Senator Smith in
the approaching primary.
RED TAPE
By Dr. Frank Crane
Our vices, said a witty Frenchman, are our
virtues, carried to excess.
System is a virtue; when it is carried to
excess it becomes red tape, which is a vice.
WhaY you want is efficiency. It is for that
you adopt system. But when you think more
of your system than of the thing for which
system is the means, you are lassoing yourself
instead of the steer.
Everybody loves a neat room, but there is
such a thing as having it so orderly that no
body wants to live in it.
The most important thing to know about
rules is when to break them.
All discipline ought to bend a little and
it will be broken less.
Even in the army, where discipline is of
prime importance, that soldier is rarest and
most valuable who knows how and when to
disobey in order to bring victory. And every
commander’s word ought to be sharp enough
to cut Gordian knots.
The very thing that makes government 'ef
ficient renders it inefficient. Employes are given
their orders and must observe them; they must
do exactly as they are told; they are not to
think, but to obey. The result is a very
smoothly running machine.
And the further result is that most of the
effort expended is toward making the machihe
operate nicely, with little thought as to what
is to be produced. 1
It is necessary over every perfect organiza
tion to have some man who can and may set
the whole system aside, upon occasion, in order
to get things done promptly.
Over every democracy there must be an
autocratic head, who may, with certain limita
tions, do as he pleases.
Behind the school teacher must be the hu
man being, ready when necessary to brush aside
all rules and regulations and grasp a soul.
There must be certain customs and de
cencies in every household, but there should
be some lawless love in every father and mother
that can swoop down when hearts cry.
For after all system and obedience and red
tape are only substitutes for devotion and in
telligence. If we all loved perfectly and knew
perfectly we should need no rules.
And red tape is a human device. Sometimes
it is wrong.
Nature is exact, and all her whirling worlds,
her cells and microbes go along marked paths,
and she suffers no exceptions; but then behind
nature is an all-wise mind, and an all-loving
heart, that makes no mistakes.
Even above the Ten Commandments is Al
mighty God.
(Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.)
TRAVELETTE
NASSAU INN ’
There is standing today an ancient hotel
that marks the half-way point between New
York and Philadelphia. It bears the name
of Nassau Inn and is in the village of Prince
ton, N. J. Automobilists sometimes hesitate
here as they speed along the Lincoln high
way—may even pause for lunch where
Adams and Monroe, Hamilton and Aaron
Burr were wont to stay overnight on their
journeys between their homes in New York
and the capital at Philadelphia and later at
Washington.
A hundred years ago this half-way house
was at the zenith of its activities. There
each night were put up the passengers and
the horses from thirty coaches—fifteen
bound in each direction. A hundred horses
were stabled to relay this fastest of the trans
portation of the day. Clamorous was the
scene early in the morning, when swarms
of hostlers were preparing the teams, when
drowsy guests were being hustled into their
seats, when hundreds of attendants looked to
the welfare and baggage of the guests in
this, one of the busiest traffic points in the
nation.
Today a great languor has settled over the
place. The whistle of railway trains that do
not stop may be heard in the distance. An
occasional traveling salesman signs the reg
ister and sleeps where once lay the head of
Washington or LaFayette. Modern plaster
covers the bricks which came over from Hol
land in 1757. The atmosphere which in
spired James K- Spaulding and Washington
Irving in 1813 to place a scene from the “Lay
of the Scottish Fiddler,” in “Joline’s high,
stately hall” no longer exists.
Nassau Inn, however, is one of the most
ancient hostelries in America, still doing busi
ness on the site which it occupied in the days
of British kings when the United States had
not yet been conceived.

CURRENT EVENTS OF INTEREST
Only one country, France, can be consider
ed a rival of the United States in the pro
duction of naval stores, and her production
is about one-fourth as much as the United
States, the Department of Agriculture, at
Washington, states. Aside from lumber, the
southern pines, particularly the long-leaf
pine, are the source of our naval stores,
representing a value in excess of $20,000,000
a year. The position of the United States in
these important raw materials at present is
a commanding one.
A new project in naval stores is opening
in the west, where the Forest service has
given a permit to a Portland, Ore., turpen
tine company to extract pitch from 160
acres of Douglas fir on the Umpqua National
forest. This company is pioneering the new
industry in the west.

Arrangements for funding the loans in
long-time notes were made by the treasury
with the governments concerned some months

operation of the plan was deferred pending
an inquiry as to the need for specific legisla

The mysterious disappearance of a nine
carat egg-shaped brilliant diamond set as «*
one-stone marquise ring, valued at $22,000
from a gold mesh bag in the home of Mrs.
Harry Turek, at 450 West End avenue, New
York city, early last Thursday morning, is
engaging the attention of detectives from
the West Sixty-eighth street station, as well
as private detectives employed by Mrs.
Turek’s husband, a prosperous real estate
operator on the upper west side. The mar
quise ring was stolen from among several
articles of jewelry in Mrs. Turek’s meshbag,
valued at more than $90,000, and the theft
was effected while Mrs. Turek was in bed
less than five feet from the meshbag.
Sir George Foster, acting premier, in

Various theories have been given regarding
the use of orange blossoms as bridal orna

For More Than Forty Years ;
Cotton Growers have known that
POTASH PAYS
More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts
had been imported and used in the United
States in the 20 years previous to January,
1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,-
700 Tons consisted of
KAINIT
which the cotton grower knew was both a plant
food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with
it came also 1,312,400 Tons of
20 per cent
MANURE SALT
which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was
used mainly in mixed fertilizers.
Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have
been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and
high freight rates make it more desirable to ship
Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF
ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con
tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash.
MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing
on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will
give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds
of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure
Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161
pounds of Kainit.
MANURE SALT has been coming forward in
considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can
not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get
Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big
Cotton Crop.
Muriate of Potash
50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward
also, —100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400
pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt.
These are the three
Standard GERMAN Potash Salts
that were always used in making cotton fertilizers
and have been used for all these years with great
profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE
CROP.
The supply is not at present as large as in former
years, but there is enough to greatly increase the
Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the
necessary effort to get it for you.

to wear orange wreaths at their marriage. To
this objection was raised that although the
orange tree was brought to England as early
as 1290, it was long before there was any
real cultivation of it even in greenhouses. A
second theory is that orange blossoms came
to be worn by brides on their marriage be
cause they were not only scented but also
were rare and costly, and so within the reach
of only the noble and rich, that indicating the
bride had to be of high rank. A third is that
orange bridal wreaths had their origin in
Spain, where oranges have been cultivated for
centuries. Thence the fashion passed to
France, and by means of French millinery
was spread to other lands.

place, at 28 East Twentieth street, begins

furniture, and the room will be restored to
an appearance as nearly like the original as
possible. A large room will be devoted to
the preservation of letters, manuscripts and
other personal mementos of Colonel Roose

he wrote. •
The possibility of a cabinet crisis in Italy
is suggested by the Giornale d’ltalia newspa
per of Rome. It says Premier Nitte himself
admits that he may be unable to obtain a
vote of confidence in the chamber.
In this case, says the newspaper, either
Professor Luigi Luzzati, the minister of the
treasury, or Signor Benomi, the minister of
war, would succeed Signor Nitti as premier,
or Premier Nitti would be intrusted with the
task of forming another ministry.
