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. ‘GIDESirCD THRD COUHTS’ 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.

LEADERS BEG 111 TO TALK PRES'T PRIMARIES 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?
