Davis. Of Arkansas. He came to the
senate last winter fresh from the
Western wilds. where he had pledged
his political life to make a speech on
the floor Of the senate before the
session was Il week old. and he did
it. but the orilling he cot from peo-
pie everywhere. at home. too. possibly
taught him lesson he will never for
get Mr.. Smith. of course. will do
nothing Of that kind, but it must be
remembered by the people who will
be watching the latter when he comes
to Washington that lie must take
time to learn the ropes. There are
many things to be learned here and
they cannot be picked up in a day.
It takes time. and plenty Of it. There
is no doubt that Mr.. Smith will full
fill every hope Of those who have sent
him here. but the people at home
should not expect too much Of him,
especially in his early days. Though
a senator. he will still be "congres-
sional kid" for time, after which
will no doubt realize all that has been
hoped Of him.
This much is assured. when Mr.
Smith comes to Washington to begin
his official life he will get the glad
hand. There is a big colony Of Car
olinians here. who have never lost
love for their old State. and who
have closely followed the ins and outs
Of the recent campaign. They are
going to give Mr.. Smith a real old
fashioned welcome. and make him
right glad that he has found so many
true and tried South Caroljnians dom
ic;led in this "Yankee' land.
