AMBASSADORS AND WEALTH

Good will come from the temporary
furry over the appointment of DR..
David Jayne Hill as Ambassador to
Germany, caused by a report that DR..
Hill was a persona non grata in
Germany for the reason that he had
not the wealth to entertain as had
Ambassador Tower, his predecessor.
The question came up in debate
in the House Friday over the pues-
ton of providing Government build
ings for Representatives of this coun-
try abroad. Mr.. Perkins, of New
York, uttered some striking truths in
the following language:
1T is quite evident that if the
recognized function of American am
bassadors is to entertain with excess
sive liberality, and therein their use
fullness is thought to consist, the
sooner we are done with ambassa-
doris the better. Hospitality has its
charms, and DINING and winning is a
creditable amusement, but after all,
it is not for such purposes that we
sustain a diplomatic corps"
1t may be all right for other gov
ernments to dazzle with the splendor
of their representatives houses and
entertainments, but Uncle Sam is
built on different lines. This coun-
try was founded on simplicity and
has its reputation, not by the arts
of the lavish entertainer, but by those
qualities which go to make up real
character 1t is well enough for the
country to find out whittier the
foreign service is drifting, and to
put a brake on such ideas as pre-
vail in Germany as to how our
| ambassador should spend money
For some reasons it would be well
if wealth were a bar to these posi-
tons. The rich are not noted for
their other qualities, usually.

FARMERS AFTER HOKE

Another brick has fallen on Gov.
Hoke Smith, this being heaved by
President r. F. Duckworth of the
Farmers Union. The announcement
of the Governor by Mr.. Duckworth is
due to the permission of the Cover
nor's Railroad Commission to the
roads to issue free pass for Mr.. John
A. Betjeman, as chairman of the I'M
mitigation Association. The Farmers
Union is opposed to immigration and
charges that the granting of the
free pass to Mr.. Betjeman was a
trick on the part of the Governor
Mr.. Duckworth says in part:
From this (the issuing of the pass
to Mr.. Betjeman,) it seems that the
Governor did not mean that he would
meet fairly and squarely upon the
stump the views of the Farmers I'm
ion and discuss the question before
the public, but that it was his purpose
to have the Railroad Commission to
assist the bringing of immigration by
furnishing free passes to the chair
man of the Foreign immigration AS
ISOLATION 1t looks to US like a
scheme by which the administration
hoped to thwart the will of the pub
lie and force upon the people foreign
which they were so
opposing.
The attitude of the Farmers Union
towards Gov Smiths candidacy will
not be hard to determine. Clipping
off 10000 votes at a time will soon
overcome a lead of $4,000.

islation, it would seem, is for a CON
ference between the two houses. The
Republicans are not at all anxious
for any legislation on the subject
and would welcome policy of in

will leave less to explain by permit
ting matters to rest as they are. The
recent panic aroused the country to
the need of legislation to protect
against such calamities. AS there
is no danger of another such a crisis
in the immediate future, the solution
of the problem can be safely left to
another session of congress, the
Republicans say.
Under the extreme gag rule enun-
ciated by Speaker Cannon, the De-
mocrats are unable to force action by
the majority. This will give the par
ty clean bill of health before the
country and will doubtless win many
votes from those who are Disguised

Playing Prohibition Politics
(Atlanta Georgian.)

The seven weeks that lie between
us and June 4 entities either candi-
date to a little time. Yes, let's be
right plain about it; that's the best
way. So, the Georgian is impressed
that Mr.. Smith and his paper, the
Journal, when We have been with
pretty generally on the issues of the
present administration, have played
considerable politics with the prohi-
bition question. They were both
against the state prohibition law
until a few days ago. when they made
prohibition the issue of the cam
paign and practically eliminated ev-
erything else.
If Mr.. Smith and the Journal were
prOhibitionists at heart those two
trying years, when the struggle for
the law was hardest, they took lots
of time to make themselves clear
and to say, L am a prohibitiOnist' "
Now, Mr.. Brown has not said it
quite loudly enough to suit all of us,
and if he fails to do so within a
reasonable length of time, the Geor-
gian will denOunce his weakness, in
no uncertain terms, but We must bear
in mind that Mr.. Smiths flat-foOted
statement was not forthcoming until
Mr.. Browns attitude made it to some
extent necessary, and for the good
of the cause it is hoped Mr.. Smith S
attitude will force Mr.. Brown to as
plain a statement and then the prOhi-
bition question will be as safe with
one man as the other and will be no
longer an issue The Georgian hopes
prohibition will not be fought over
for DOIitica1 advantage
We are sorry to see so serious a
question played for politics. but the
South likes fair play, and only the
nervous and strongly partisan will
allow their impotence to get away
with them and injure the cause that
they intend to help.
True friends of prohibition will
be thoughtful and careful of what
they do and say, and will watch for
the principle, not seeking men. The
Georgian's record of fairness is too
we'll established to allow US to
sWerVe from one side to the other
as men may judge or misjudge us
The days of vilification and sin
gle-sidedness are fast passing away.
Men are thinking today as they have
not done in the past Looking be-
fore we leap is becoming fashionable.
The Georgian viii continue to give all
sides a hearing and to print the news
as unbiasedly as it can be done by
men.
Our friends of the Journal were
so unwilling to give their readers
anything but their own side of the
question that they asked pay for ev-
cry word of a single address to the
people, which at their rates, would
cost something more than 500. This
is not an untrammeled press. The
Georgian offers a record of support
ing its competitors governor as its
proof of being without bias,

ALDRICH'S BILL FAILS

Senator Aldrich's currency bill,
which has been under discussion in
congress, and the newspapers so
long, will not even be reported in
the House This fate was assigned
to the bill when the House committee
on banking and currency, of which
Hon e. B. Lewis, of the Americas
district, is the ranking member Of
the minority, decided not to report
the measure at all.
From the day the bill was present
ed by Senator Aldrich it has had a
hard time Reluctant amendments
were wrung from it's author and the
Republican supporters of that cur
rency scheme, until It did not bear a
very close resemblance to the first
form when it finally passed the
Senate. Bankers and business men
fought the bill, and its progress was
slow and tOrtuOuS.

In Desperate Straits
(Atnens Banner.)

A few boys in Marietta rang a
few bells when Gov Smith made his
speech there and forthwith the adj
ministration organ delivered itself of
more than two columns of diatribe
against the candidacy of Joe Brown
for governor. Has the governor for
gotten that the average American
youth will indulge in just such things
during times of political excitement?
And even though any interruption
was wrong, has it ever occurred to
him that the ordinary courtesises of
the campaign forbade his making a
speech in the home city of his OPP
ponent? OF course he possessed the
right to speak there, but usually
such things are not done
