DAVE SMITH IS FOR
THE PANAMA CANAL

The first of the Kentucky Congress
ionaf>delegation to return to Loui s.
vile. Congressman Dave W. Smith,
of the Fourth district. was at Seel-
bacn's last night. He Is for the Pan
ANA canal. Congressman Smth, who
is serving bis fourth term, is ON the
Judiciary Committee, and IS the sec
ond Democrat on that body.
Although not tue best looking, he
was tbs best dressed man in the lobby
last night. His long black coat was
a perfect fit, and he no longer wears
ready-made scarfs His hat was of
new and fashionable design.
''Dave Smith never cared much for
dress. and no one will ever be able to
say that he il a dude said a friend
of his last night, "but few weeks
in Washington gives a man different
ideas of wearing apparel. 4"
The Congressman says that the

tpresent time than a stone five minutes
after 1t has been cast in the water.
1T probably will, however, while 1t
is being acted upon," he said.
In regard to Panama Congressman
Smith says:
81 think the President acted hastily
in recognizing the Republic of Pana-
ma, but that Is a closed incident
/ am for the canal. The ratification
of the treaty with the Republic of
Panama will probably provoke consid =
cradle discussion in the Senate, bat
it will go through. Senator Morgan
and p robsbly some other Senators are
still IN favor OF the Nicaragua route,
but the majority for Panama will
result in ratification.
Mr.. Smith has introduced a num-
or of bills in Congress this term.
They are for the Improvement of the
rivers in his district, and for some
public buildings. Saturdays LOUIS
