HOKE SMITH ANSWERS THE CHARGE,
CONGRESS FAILURE TO AID COTTON;
THE SITUATION IMMENSELY HELPED
Atlanta, Ga. —The repeated charges
that the recent congress did nothing
to help the South in the cotton crisis
is answered today by Senator Hoke
Smith, now in Atlanta, who takes up
one by one the various bills which
were enacted. Senator Smith's state
ment in full follows:
"For the past few weeks many false
statements have been circulated charg
ing congress with the failure to take
any action to aid the cotton situation
in the South. These statements have
been published in some newspapers
ordinarily considered reliable. I wish
to give you the facts.
But, before doing so, let me refer to
the absurd charge that I promised be
fore the primary 12 1-2 cents cotton
to the farmers of Georgia. Of course,
any such charge was unqualifiedly
false. No one man could possibly con
trol the price of cotton. For me to
have promised that the farmers would
receive 12 1-2 cents for their cotton
would have been childish. The charge
was not only false, but silly.
While congress has not done all that
I wished to see done, yet the cotton
situation in the South has been im
mensely helped by legislation passed
since the war began.
Legislation to Move Cotton.
Prior to the beginning of the war
RO per cent of our cotton was shipped
abroad and manufactured by foreign
mills. At the outbreak of the wi)r
three months ago there were no ves
sels floating the American flag to
carry cotton across the ocean. Nearly
all of Europe was at war and vesse's
of any of the nations at war were sub
ject to seizure. The entire export of
cotton was stopped by the war. Not
only was its use in foreign mills less
ened, but there was no way to ship it
to the owners of foreign mills.
This subject received the immediato
attention of congress. Our entire nav
igation laws have been remodelled. I
need not give the details of the changes
made, but today there are many ves
sels floating the flag of the United
States, More are being rapidly ad
mitted to American registry.
On Thursday before congress ad
journed a senate resolution was unan
imously passed appointing a committee
of five senators to press the adjust
ment of our differences with foreign
countries in regard to navigation, so
that cotton might at once be carried
abroad. England promptly responded
to our demands and the improved price
of cotton in the past two weeks is
largely due to the facilities that are
being given for the exportation of cot
to .
Legislation to Furnish Currency.
Early ' i August the Aldrich-Vree
land act, under which emergency cur
rency Is issued, was amended so as to
increase the issue of emergency cur
rency.
All possible effort has been made to
speed tiie opening of the federal re
serve banks The European war in
teriered with our entire financial
status and made it more difficult to
start the banks, but on the
If " of this month all 12 of these
banks will open for business. More
than one hundred millions of dollars
of additional currency will be furnish
ed in the nine cotton States through
the legislation already passed and by
the opening of the federal reserve
banks.
Pending Legislation.
The senate has passed three addi
tional measures, which are pending in
the house of representatives.
One of these provides for a system
of government licensed warehouses to
aid the farmer and the cotton owner
in the South to handle his cotton.
One of these three bills will amend
the Aldrich-Vreeland act so that banks
connected with National Currency as
sociations may use their bills receiv
able as security for additional cur
rency issues. Under the act, at pres
ent they can only issue currency se
cured by their bills receivable up to
20 per cent of their capital stock. The
amendment to the Aldrich-Vreeland
bill, now pending in the house, allows
banks to use their bills receivable as
security for emergency currency up
to 75 per cent of their capital stock
an surplus.
The senate also provided that state
banks might become members of Na
tional Currency associations and issue
emergency currency just as national
banks issue it. In the house of rep
resentatives objection has been made
to permitting state banks to become
members of National Currency asso
ciations, but the committee on bank
ing and currency of the house has en
larged the privilege of member banks
to issue currency secured by their bills
receivable up to 100 per cent of their
capital stock and surplus.
This bill was ready for action in the
house at the time the house adjourned
and Would have been passed but for
lack of a quorum.
I do not think the house will pass
the provision admitting state banks to
National Currency associations, but It
is entirely probable that we may be
able to relieve the notes of state banks
issued for use as currency from the
10 per cent tax fixed by the act of 1875.
I mean that it is possible that we may
induce the house to suspend the 10
per cent tax for 10 or 12 months upon
notes Issued for currency by state
banks.
The third measure which has passe J
the senate and Is pending in the hous>
is a bill permitting all banks, mem
bers of the federal reserve system, to
deposit all of their reserves with the
federal reserve bank of the district In
which they are located. This will en
large the power of the reserve banks
to use federal reserve currency.
I feel sure that these three bills will
be promptly passed when congress
meets. The two currency bills will
make it easy to Increase the currency
in the nine cotton states fifty millions
of dollars. So, that with the present
legislation and with these two addi
tional bills, the additional currency
that will be furnished to the nine cot
ton states will exceed "one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars.
Measure Supported by Bouthem Sen
ators,
Southern senators sought to pass
a measure which would have com
pletely taken care of the cotton Sit
uation. It was a bill providing for the
purchase by the government of 5,000,-
000 bales of cotton, to be withdrawn
from the market until 1910 and 1817
and to be then disposed of. Such a
plan is the only one by which com
plete relief could be given from the
loss of our foreign cotton market due
to the war.
I Urged more than six weeks ago that
the nine Southern states should hand's
the question for themselves by eacn
taking over Its proportionate part or
the over-production of cotton. Just as
the legislature of Mouth Carolina pro
posed to take care of the over-pru
ductlen In Mouth Carolina. Finding
Uuu the slates did not act. Southern !
senators tried to put such a measure
through the senate. They were met
with the opposition of the senators
from other sections who were unwill
ing by special legislation of this char
acter to care for what they considered
| the local troubles of nine states. Only
one senator from the nine cotton states
voted against the measure. We were
unable to pass the measure through
the senate, but we did pass through the
senate every measure of a general
character that was offered calculated
to relieve the situation.
Georgia Has Done Nothing.
So it will be seen that while the
state of Georgia has done nothing to
ward relieving the effect of the Euro
pean war. congress lias contributed
substantially toward relieving the sit
uation so far as the presence of cur
rency in the Southern states would
relieve it.
In addition to this, largely through
the work of the democratic adminis
tration, a pool has been organized to
loan upon cotton one hundred and thir
ty-five millions of dollars, the money
being furnished principally by institu
tions located outside of the nine cot
ton states.
The broadening,markets and the in
creased facilities to obtain money on
cotton are the features of the present
cotton market which has caused Its
advance during the past two weeks and
v hich should continue to sustain and
advance the price of cotton, unless
holder-: of cotton seek to sell too rap
idly.
Reduce Cotton Crop.
Finally, however, the cotton prob
lem can only be solved by cutting next
year’s crop. Ts i.oxt year’s cotton crop
is reduced one-half or more as soon
as that is known next spring cotton
ought to sell at over 10 cents a pound.
If the reduction is not made, it will
be impossible to protect the cotton
crop next fall from disaster.
So Important do I regard cotton crop
reduction to our section, that I hava
been willing to see it reduced by legis
lation, regardless of whether eventual
ly such legislation would be popular
or unpopular.
Creditors and farmers should unite
to carry the crop gradually to market,
holding one-half if possible for an in
creased price which a reduction of
cotton acreage next spring would
bring.

Purity Congress Told More
Girls Go Wrong By Home
Conditions Than Any Other
Cause.
Kansas City, Mo. —More girls go
wrong b -cause of home conditions
than for any other reason, asserted
Miss Margaret E. Luther, superin
tendent of the Florence Crittenton
home, New York city, in an address
before the International Purity con
gress today.
Miss Luther, who spoke on “’Girls
Who Go Through the New York
Courts," pointed out that most of the
girls with whom the courts have to
deal are not more than 18 years old.
“The men who live on commercial
ized vice are the men you see stand
ing on the street corners," she contin
ued. "A judge recently told me that
90 per cent of the. men he had sen
tenced for white slavery were less
than 22 years old. Home conditions
are responsible for this situation."
The Rt. Rev. Cyrus J. Kephart of
Kansas City declared that social pur
ity always would be dependent upon
the status of the church as an insti
tution of uplift.
Despondency Due to Indigestion.
It is not at all surprising that per
sons who have indigestion become dis
couraged and despondent. Here are
a few words of hope and cheer for
them by Mrs. Blanche Bowers, India
na. Pa. “For years my digestion was
so poor that 1 could only eat the light
est foods. I tried every thing that I
heard of to get relief, but not until
about a year ago when I saw Cham
berlain’s Tablets advertised and got a
bottle of them, did I find the right
treatment. I soon began to improve,
and since taking a few bottles of them
my digestion is fine.” For sale by all
dealers.

TO TALK PRES'T

i
President Wilson Does Not Be
lieve Law Can be Passed to
Be Effective in 1916. As Re
sult G. 0. P. Gains, Democrats
Discussing Candidates.
Washington D. C.—president Wil
son does not expect a presidential
primary la wto be passed during the j
next session of congress and some
democratic leaders do not believe one
can be enacted to be effective in 1915.
In his message to congress lost
December, the President urged t’rit
such a law be passed Immediately and
expressed hope that there would be a
general agreement to it. He is known I
to still favor primary law hut inves- j
tigation has impressed on him the dis- I
firulties of the technical details. The j
chief difficulty encountered by the
President has been that of fixing a
date for the presidential primaries.
Primaries now are held on different
dates in the states and the question
has been whether the legislatures can
chanse the state primary dates before
1916.
Very Expensive.
Separate state and national prima
ries, he has been told, would prove very
expensive.
The President has not yet begun I
work on his next message to congress, I
hut it is considered doubtful whether
he will mention the presidential pri- i
marv question. He Is expected to
dwell on the necessity for economy in
appropriations and to urge the passage :
of the Philippine bill, the Alexander I
ship purchase bill and several remain- |
Ing conservation measures.
Brief Session.
Presidential primaries, rural credits
railway securities and other questions I
are expected to lie left over because of j
the brief duration of the session. The
President now has no intention of call
ing an extra session after March 4th.
The general expectation of democratic
leaders is that presidential primaries
already provided for in a number of 1
states, will play an important part in
the 1916 campaign, but that the final
choice of the party’s nominees will be
made again at conventions.
The administration was endorsed at
several democratic state conventions |
prior to the congressional elections and i
the friends of the President already are j
at work with his renomination in
mind.
As a result of gains the Republicans
made last week, politicians here are
discussing the names of numerous
party leaders as possible presidential
candidates. The presidential primary
question plays an Important part In
such discussions.

Wc Quote From a
Prominent Banker
Here’s an extract from a letter written an
Atlanta paper by Colonel Robert J. Lowry.
The Colonel is known all over the country
as a big banker and a discriminating business
man.
He is strong for the Atlanta spirit.
He practices what he preaches. Read what
he has to say. We quote it not because it is an
individual opinion merely, but because it is
typical of the sentiment that is spreading
among all our citizens:
“ This (patronizing home institutions) has
been my practice for many years, believing it
to be the only way of building up our many
trades. I find that the articles of every de
scription that T have bought in Atlanta com
pare favorably with those from any other city.
It now behooves us more than ever to do
our utmost to foster and encourage the Atlan
ta markets by giving them our patronage.
“Everything necessary for comfort and
pleasure can be bought right here in the city—
so let everyone make it a rule to patronize
home products.
“Of course it must be understood that
they must give us just as good stuff and at as
reasonable prices as can be purchased else
where. 1 know from my own experience that
the quality of the goods purchased in Atlanta
is equal to any in the United States.
“Let us all stand by our own institutions.
It will be a great impetus to them and will
mean much to our city.’’
Right you are, Colonel.
We particularly like the idea that Augusta
made goods must .be quality goods—must
measure up to the best than pan be bought
elsewhere.
The day of doing things for merely senti
ment’s sake is gone. The appeal that carries
weight and conviction these times is the ap
peal of MERIT.
Lets stand on the MERIT platform in the
making and the marketing of our wares.
Is it right that the products of your local
factories, when these products measure up to
all requirements in point of quality, should be
passed by while you home people spend your
money for the enrichment of foreign and far
off manufacturers?
We ask it of you, the CONSUMER.
We ask it of you the DEALER.
Why not give HOME GOODS and HOME
FOLKS the preference?
Why not—if only for sentiment—put Au
gusta made wares ahead of the European
northern-eastern products?
But when sentiment merit combine to
urge upon you the use and the purchase of the
HOME PRODUCT’, then why use or buy any
other?
Use your wits, people. Remember, when
you spend money for HOME PRODUCTS,
that you are putting that money into circula
tion where it will do YOU the most good.
You see it really isn’t so sentimental after
all, is it?
