Smiths in National Politics.

Georgia is trying to work up presi-
, Dental boom for Hoke Smith, a grand
son of Maine who has been at the
front for over 20 years as one of the
| leading Democrats of the South. The
mention of his name in this connection
leads the Boston Transcript into re-
Elections regarding the relatively Small
part which the very numerous Smith
family has played in American politics.
Still there are no fewer than six
Smiths in the present Congress, a
larger number than any other family
can claim. The six are Walter !.
Smith OF iowa, Sylvester C. Smith of
California, William Alden Smith of
Michigan. George w. Smith of illinois,
David Hlghbaugh Smith of Kentucky,
Samuel W. Smith OF Michigan and
William Orlando Smith of Pennsyl-
vana,-a soodly representation for one
family, III view of all the possibilities
of American politics. One of the six,
William Alden Smith of Michigan now
goes 10 the Senate where there has noi
been Smith for some years.
The Hoke Smith boom has caused
the Transcript to reflect that while
congressional representatives, senators
and governors have borne that name
and while the family has had the honor
to nave electoral votes cast for vice
presidential candidate or two occas-
ions, as producer of presidential
candidates honored by electoral college
votes it has yet to figure i'll political
sought to become president for one has
50 aspired: Green Clay Smith of ken.
lucky, candidate Of the prohibition
party in 1876. receiving 9,522 popular
votes, but no votes in the electoral col
lege. one Smith also is found among
the candidates for Vice president, re-
ceiring electoral votes on two Occas-
ions. This was William Smith. who
enjoys the unique distinction of being
N"iNN a. Nstiiu-tstN'- IOI tiLt NlIt IItoi-
dency and from two states. In 1923
as William Smith Of South Carolina he
received seven electoral votes. In 1896
as William Smith of Alabama, % cleo |
tors gave him their votes. Back Of
the change or residence lies an inter- |
estllg ana well-nish forgotten story, in |
which opposition to John c. Calhoun |
plays the most important part.
The Transcript adds that it may be |
a consolnS reflection to the Smiths |
that very few others of our numerical
iy great families have been known to
the electoral college. Only one Brown |
has ever received electoral votes for |
the presidency. Tho name of Jones has |
not been more prominently honored. |

Of two AdameS, cur presidents have |

are those of families not notable for |
their numbers.

Official figures collected by the
United States Fish Commission show
that in 1903 there were H. 43 gallons of
ScallOpS collected off the coast of
Maine. having value of $9,747. and in
1904 the catch WAS 11,S43 gallons. valued
at $12,@25. showing a small gain in
Quantity ana a sharp advance in price.
OF all the ScaliopS taken IN Maine, more
than 90 per cent. are taken between
Penobscot bay and Mt. Desert Island.
The scallops taken from Maine waters
are giants. The shells are at times s
or Q inches across from side to side,
and are lined with glossy and rides

them sought for manufacturing into
buttons. Owners of summer cottages
and residents of villages set shells of
the giant ScallopS on edge in the
ground bordering their front walks and
surround flower beds with them to re-
fleet the brilliant tints of nasturtiums
and salvias and geraniums. The
dredging boats which have been
searching the waters off the south
shore of Hancock county for giant
scallopS this winter have made poorer
catches than usual, owing to the in
tensely cold and stormy weather and
rough seas, though the mollusks seem
to be fairly abundant, while the de-
mand for them in the Boston and New
York markets is quick and prices are
higher. The Maine scallop is much
larger and of cOarser fibre than the
species dredged from the south shore
of Cape Cod. Hence. it is not in SO
quick demand by the marketmen,
though the great bussinator muscle,
which is the only portion of the BIZ
valve that is eaten, is very juicy and
of rich flavor, in spite of the larger
grain in the flesh.

ent effect Of the noise was to bring
Tie crew of the schooner on deck in

extraordinary results. In this in
stance the steamer inflicted the blow,
its sharp bow striking the end of the
schooner's main boom. The mainmast
broke off like pipestem, and the
heavy spar hit the deck with such
force as to drive a big hole in it. in
which the mast continued to stand.

THE MENACE OF THE TRAMP.

The Pennsylvania railroad has set a
good example for other lines to follow
in beginning a war upon the tramp. 1t
has been shown conclusively that the
Migrants of the road are responsible
for many crimes, and that stealing
rides on>freight trains is the least of
their offenses. Doubtless many serious
accidents may be laid TO their charge
Much useless sentimentalism has been
wasted upon them. II in some cases
they are victims of circumstances,
more sinned against than SHINING. in
others they are the architects of their
own misfortunes. They would not
work II they could. The freedom of a
wandering life is what they crave. and
if they had steady employment offered
to the NIT would be rejected. At the
best they have no moral principle. and
AT the worst they are dangerous Grim
inals.
Few of the problems Of civilization
are more perplexing than the problem
or the tramp. A career on the road is
in fact denial of the very basis Of
modern society. II means an irrespon-
sibility at odds with good citizenship
Even IL the tramp is not enticed into
crime he remains worthless member
Of the body polite. 1t is sometimes
the case. no doubt. that what he lacks
Is a chance TO rehabilitate himself
Society is hard upon the wrecks and
failures. But. generally speaking. sym
pathy is wasted upon him; he is con-
genitally incapable, to say the least.
