European ports Eight companies run
liners from Philadelphia and six from
Boston. All of them have a string of
agents throughout the country. The
larger companies may have as many as
four or five thousand sub-ageuts who ar
range bookings on a commission basis

pervision Of a general agent. The gen

force would delight one in search of per-
petual motion.
The results of their labors are chiefly
apparent in the spring and fall. Through
the winter months there are many empty
cabins on nearly every liner and passage

HOkE SMITH A WARRIOR.

He is "a warrior because he can llght'
but he is more a general than warrior,
because he is careful to ascertain iirst
what he is fighting for and, secondly,
whether it is wiser to fight or to try
some other course. The best evidence of
his political sagacity is that ne does not
revel i'm the shedding of his own blood or
banker for the job Of carrying the banner
of his cause into any attack in which II

Although his life has been crammed full

good fettle for more wrestling with cir
cumstance His father and grandfather,
il may be said i'm passing, were New
HAMPSHIRE Smiths and were graduated
from Dartmouth College. His maternal
ancestry is German, the Hokes having
first settled IN Lancaster and York, Penn,
some OF the family afterward moving to
Lincoln County. y. c.

friends. there was heavyweight cham

he not only took keen delight in bowling
his companions over the ropes. but was IN
class by himself as q wrestler as well.
He taught school, studied law and saved
up $50 all at the same time, his admring
biographers tell us. and was admitted 10
the bar at Atlanta in ls72, when he was
seventeen years old. At first all the
tough Jobs were assigned to him, but in
a very few years he was receiving from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year from his practice.
This much having been accomplished,
he branched out in activity and purchased
The Atlanta Journal in 1887. This
brought him into the political field When
he was not preparing legal briefs he was

torials on the tariff and money and TAX
ing buffet now and then at the corpora
tons. In 1892 ne led the campaign for
Grover Cleveland. and was rewarded with
the post of Secretary Of the Interior, his
first appearance on the national political
stage.
Through his newspaper he defended the
Cleveland tariff reform. He was so
sound money man. but when the l. mo-
Gratis nominated Bryan he followed the
party and resigned from the Cleveland
Cabinet TO work for Bryan. In 1902 Mr..
Smith sold his newspaper and announced
that henoeforth he was out OF politics ex-
cept as an humble citizen. and that he
would carry the banner no longer.

SENATOR CORES CHANCES.

Senator Gore has travelled far upon the
claim that he was one of tho Wilson lieu
tenants in the recent campaign and has
the confidence of the President. but in
the Sen;.' this will avail him little. The
blind Senator from Oklahoma has rarely
entered legislative skirmish without
coming cropper. and has made two
disastrous blunders that won for him
anything but applause. He has the
faculty of stirring the Republicans TO
wrath. which alone would defeat his as
pirations for leadership.
Only Senator O'Gorman and senator
Hoke Smith are left 1t is somewhat
hazardous To eliminate the Senator from
New York upon the basis of the showing
he has made during the short time he has
been one of the fountanheads OF Demo-
cratic wisdom. His voice has already
been heard in the inner circle Of the DEM
ocratic councils. He is cautious-to the
nth power. He makes his moves under
cover and letteth not his collea CUES upon

one or two others whose care RS can be
traced back 10 the days when "organza-

leader is now used, and even that has a
modified sense. BY it is indicated not

HENceFoRTH, BUT NOT FOREVER

The "henceforth" applied for only three
years. for in 1906, when the anti-corpora-
ton campaign was on in Georgia, he be-
came a candidate for the governorship.
He was elected in 1906, defeated in 1908
and elected again in 1910. He was elected
to the Senate to succeed the late Senator
A. $. Clay, but did not take his seat until
December 4, 1911.
Such. i'm brief is the course OF training
taken by Hoke Smith for the job he now
holds. When President Wilson was hav-
ing his troubles with Colonel Watterson
and George Harvey Senator Smith was
preparing to enter the lists for him and
fought for him during the campaign. The
Senator from Georgia, therefore. is in the
good graces of w. j. Bryan, and his way
to the President is paved with good deeds,
so that ne has nothing to fear from either
Mr.. Wilson or the great Single Termer
himself.
Senator Smith is a progressive with con-
servativc instincts. He does not believe
in whacking people over the head unneces-
sarily or getting into a muss by hghtinS
for nothing i'm particular, as do many
avowed progressives. II he can achieve
his purpose he will do it by peacemakinS
as well as by making war. His course
OF governmental training and the wrest-
ling Of his youthful days have taught him
the value Of caution and the advantage OF
awaiting an opportunity for a strange
hold For these reasons he has friends
on the Republican side as well as the
Democratic side.

on the first Saturday i'm May this year,
which falls on the third of the month,
nine ocean greyhounds will sail from
New York for points i'm Europe. They
will carry forty-five hundred passengers
i'm the first and second cabins, and If a

many for each boat as those In the first
and second cabins. They won't carry
anything like the same amount OF money

same depressing effect on the census or
the towns they are leaving.
During the single month of May-the
first of the rush season-the nine prin-
cipai steamship companies out of the
twenty carrying passengers between New
York and Europe will send eastward
across the Atlantic from this port sixty
