Dear aI. b. Friends:

Dear M. b. Friends:
/ don't know how it has been with all
you nieces, but have been having a re-
union with you all Christmas week, and il
you could just sit down by me and look at
the lovely remembrances and good wishes
which have come to me from Lettie, Ann,
ID, and others who live near me, to greet
ings from across the continent, from the
Great Lakes, from the Gulf of Mexico, and
think you, too, were attending a reunion
"a Christmas one.
thank you each and all, and please ac-
cept this as my acknowledgement of your
kindness, as / may not be able at present
to respond to each individually. Dell
asks the same privilege, as she has been
suffering from erysipelas in her eyes and
is not able to use them yet for reading or
writing. She talked with me by phone
Dec. 26, and wished me to tell you, through
the column, that she appreciated the
many holiday greetings you had sent her,
thanks you for them, and wants you to
know why you do not hear from her in
reply.
II some of my NJ. B. nieces have not re-
cieved little word of remembrance from
me, there is no intentional 'slighth. 1
have had to trust to my memory for your
addresses this year, and while / have not
forgotten any of you, in few cases / am
not sure OF your initials and in others the
place of residence is not certain. For
instance, l sent a greeting to Jennie at
Bayside, and message later from her says
Bar Harbor. "Anon" has remembered me
from New York, but gives no address.
You will all understand, and would be
greatly pleased if all M. B.'s not hearing
from me, who would like to continue to be
lone Of us", would just send me a postal
card or quotation or recipe or poem, and
will, anyway, put to use one or two
'scute" books for addresses which some of
the nieces have sent me in the past. and
have complete and corrected list Of our
"famiiy".
1t is a pleasure to have the following
letter:
BAR HARBoR, Dec. Is.
Dear Aunt Madge and N. b. Friends:
How are you all this cold winter / hope
yon are all enjoying good health. am happy
to say am some better than have been, but
have had terrible summer. Words fail to
express it. have had cards from q number
of the NJ. B's, and wish to thank them for
sending them.

selves. would like to see change in every
way shall certainly vote, if we ever reach

police Wednesday night after they
had carried Miss Mabel Parker a
chorus girl, TO Grady Hospital, in a
semi conscious condition probably
will appear before Chief Beavers Fri
day and ask that the Chief and the
Police Commission investigate their
arrest.
Smith and Glenn deny that they
were responsible for the girls condi-
ton. They declare the woman went
into commissions when she received a
telegram that her brother was dying.
They say they called a physician, who
administered chloroform to quiet her,
and left. The woman's hysteria con-
tinued, and Smith and Glenn then
took her to Grady in a cab
Officer Milan was at the hospital
when the girl was brought In and he
took Smith and Glenn to headquar-

being questioned by Assistant Chief
Jett and Captain Terry. In his re-
port officer Milan states that the
girl was clad only in a thin gauze
nightdress.
Chief Beavers stated that he viii

will be brought before the Police
Commission at the next meeting. Po-
lice officials declare that Milan only
did his duty.

Of women of the village kidnapped
Mrs. Richardson from her home, rode
her on a rail through the town and
dumped her in a mud puddle.
After the mud bath they gave her
"a hours to leave the village. Rich

and gave her money to pay her rail-
road fare.
When the men of the town went
to Dunnill's home. he was not there
and his wife said he had left the

The speaker also attacked the
workmen's compensation act, now
pending, declaring it to be a bill to
save the railroad corporations from
their just liabilities to injured en-
ployees.
Urges U. S. Road Building.
In advocating the excise tax bill.
Senator Smith declared strongly for
constitutional authority to pass an in

equally among the entire citizenship
the expense of Government.
The Senator advocated national all

try. lie SAID the road building Ques-
ton was at present before the Post
office and Postroads Committee of
the Senate, and that his every effort.
personally, would be to bring it
through successfully.
Senator Smith went into the plan
of tariff reduction fully He said, in
part:
The Democratic party has under
taken to reform the tariff downward
for the purpose of stopping, as far as
possible, this system of legalized rob
berry. The plan of the Democratic
tariff bill involves several different
propositions.
Taxes on Luxuries.
First. The raising of revenues.
Second The production of legiti-
mate competition, to the end that fair
prices shall be charged consumers.
Third. No taxes, or the lowest pos
sible taxes upon the necessaries %

Fourth. High taxes upon Injuries
With the fullest praise for what
the Democrats of the House did,
wish to say that the Democrats of the

tons, made additional reductions Of

1T is impossible to say just when

two houses will readily be adjusted

On currency legislation Senator
Smith said:
The currency bill which has been
introduced both in the Senate and in
the House will free the country from
dependence upon Wall Street It
will facilitate an increase of currency
to meet especial demands for same.
IL Will make currency panic impos-
sible. There are many features in

United States Senator Hoke Smith
addressed the two bodies of the Geor-
gia Legislature in joint session at
noon Friday in the house.
Conspicuous throughout his address
was the strong defense of the national
administration, the keynote of which
was prophetic OF a period of I'M
equaled prosperity throughout the
Wilson regime.
Senator Smith declared that the
Democrats to-day have enough votes
in the Senate to pass the tariff bill.
He said that Notwithstanding the
cuts made by the national House, the
Senate had cut still deeper, and
made additions to the free list.
For the first time in fifty years. g"
declared the Senator, Legislation in
tended to take the burden off the
masses Of the people has found no
resistance in the Democratic Senate
It must be conceded by all that the
Senate Democrats have made the
tariff bill more Democratic than it was
when it reached the Senate"
Mr.. Smith attacked the present
vogue of vast distribution of charity
by the wealthy men of the nation.
Prefers Taxation to Charity.
Il would rather see the National
Government raise the money by in
come taxes and spend it for such
causes than to leave the people in
debted to men for great charities" he
declared.
The Senator advocated States rights
in handling State problems. While
his reference was to the California
Japanese situation, he made it's ap-
plicatton general by saying: From
the Californians' troubles the whole
country is realizing the difficulties
with which we have had to contend.
and they are helping us make con-
verts to the doctrine that we must be
left 10 handle our troubles ourselves"
Senator Smith brought up for strong
arraignment the Sherwood bill for an

by the House and rejected by the
Senate, is now contained in the tariff
bill which passed the House and
which has been approved by the
Democratic caucus of the Senate
without dissenting vote And what
wish TO say to you to-day is we
have the votes in the Senate to pass
the bill.
Our farmers have been overcharg-
ed for the things which they are
compelled to bur because of ex-
cessive prices maintained by the ex-
Clusion of foreign competition. 1t
has been conceded that, while the
government collected three hundred
millions of dollars each year from
the tariff, the industries in the United
states, which the high tariff was in
tended to help. collected over a bill
lion of dollars more from the people
than they could have charged but
for the exclusion of foreign competi-
ton. These burdens fell upon all the
people of our State, but were espe-
cially heavy upon the farming classes.
who in no respect receive any bene-
fit.
Sees Era of Prosperity.
Il believe that the adoption of our
new tariff bill will mark an era of
prosperity throughout the country.
The industries heretofore protected
will not lose in the long run by com
petition, but, spurred through it to
greater efforts they will seek their
profits by broader trade; dependent
not alone upon taking the dollars Of
their neighbors, they will reach into
the markets of the world for the sale
Of their commodities.
lauds the President.
No currency system would be COM
plete that did not take into consid-
Grafton the Importance of farm cred
its. Thorough study is now being
given to this subject, and / believe
in the near future action will be had
by which rates of interest charged to
farmers may be reduced and increas-
ed facilities given for farm loans
In conclusion, let me remind you
that the last time / spoke in Geor-
gia was at the Auditorium when
presented Governor Wilson to the
people of the State. / assured the
audience of his purpose and ability
to serve, and of his strength as a
candidate. We made no mistake
when we nominated him. We won
the fight for the Democratic party.
The people of the country made
no mistake when they elected him"
