''THE CORRUPTING POWER OF PATRONAGE"
IN THE SENATE.

Oscar w. Underwood the Democratic leader in
Congress, showed IN magazine article how the
"corrupting power of patronage" enables Presi-
dent to swerve public from their convictions
and vote against their convictions, and even
against the public interest.
One of the strongest supporters of President
Wilson's Panama surrender policy today is SEN
ing to vote against his convictions The induce
ment to do so has not been disclosed. When the
Panama bill was passed twenty months ago
after Great Britain's protest-Senator Smith said
in the Senate on August Z 1912:
II think we are justified in the
conclusion, especially in view of the further fact
that nearly every nation handles its coastyvise
business exclusively in vessels Of it's OWE. that
this treaty did not mean to apply to cOastwiSe
vessels. The language used expressed no dis
elimination as to nations; it expresses no dis
sells, Or German vessels it simply declares that the
cOastwise vessels may pass through the Canal
free. Our statutes, Like the laws of most other
countries, limit the coastwise trade to American
vessels"
Senator Smith has given no reason or explana-
ton for changing his views
The New York paper says that "Senator
Smith has given no reason or explanation
for changing his views"
Of course not. He doesn't have to.
Besides, he hasn't any that are fit for cam
palgn purposes.
The base insinuation that Senator Smith
was corrupted by patronage is one that few
of his ardent admirers will brook.
Do you think for moment that W. j. Har-

They made Saint out of Joseph, the
Hebrew carpenter, and they pitilessly
slaughtered st. Joseph's brethren, the molten
sive Jews.
They made Mother of God out of Mary,
the wife Of the carpenter, and they barba-
rously prosecuted the kindred of Mary, the
peaceable Jews.
land, in Italy itself, they slaughtered law
abiding Jews with the ferocity of tigers, until
it became a marvel that the race of Joseph, Of
Mary, Of Christ, of Moses, of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob could survive at all.
The Protestant Reformation put stop to
the wholesale butchery of the Jews.
No Protestant church ever drew the sword
on the Hebrews or l1indled the fires to burn
them.
But even yet, Roman Catholicism is prov
ing its undying hatred Of the Jews, who
wouldn't kneel to man-made Idols, who
wouldn't accept the heathenish dogma OF
"transubstantiaton, and who wouldn't accept
the Italian pope as Christ's vice-roy on earth.
The most recent instance is that of Ernesto
Nathan, ex-Mayor of Rome, Italy The
italian Government has honored this eminent
jew with the appointment of Commissioner
from Italy to our Panama Exposition at San
Francisco.
The Roman Catholics declare that he shall
not se1ve. They are denouncing this illus
trious Jew in all their American papers. All
of their disloyal, unpatriotic and treasonous

ton?
Do you imagine that Whoop Alexander and
Slick Thomson will rest supinely under vile
filings and flouts of that variety?
Bet you sorrel mule that Whoop Alex
ander and Slick T. are as mad as wet hens
right now.
It was bad enough for Alexander to chloro-
form the Tippins BILL and cough up one
county, only, in his race for governor, with
out being pursued by the loose tongue of
SANDER into the downy nest where his
Boss placed him-at the expense of Uncle

AS to Slick Thomson and Badly Harris,
their indignation must be something volcanic.
And then think of that Atlanta nigger,
Lincoln Johnson
The colossal Smith is keeping johnson in
fat job worth $4,000 year; and the niger
newspaper in Atlanta is ordering us poor,
mean white trash to rack up on election day,
and elect Goliath Smith
Well, that's what we mean to do-possi-
bly,.
If Lincoln johnson will come into our
midst, as Badly Harris did, and give us the
orders direct from the Federal Government,
as Badly did, [ am reasonably sure that
Goliath Smith will get just as many votes as
he got in 1908.
AS to that change Of mind on the Canal
question, it's nothing. Goliath's mind is that
kind of mind.
There was the Port Rate question, for
instance: Goliath changed his mind on that
There, was the Parcels Post question, also:
Goliath tried to kill it, after he had spoken
for it.
Then there was that matter Of enforcing the
Railroad Commissions order to reduce
freight rates. Goliath and his faithful man

The New York papers need not cut up any
shines about Senator Smiths changes Of
views.
Senator Smiths views are always stere-
opticon, and liable to change the scenery at
any moment.
A Senator who can reap riches off Liquor
Saloon, and remain the champion of the
Drys; and who can have has National Bank
made one Of the Governments own Regional
Reserves, while clamoring virtuously as a
friend Of the under dog-is a Senator who
need not explain anything, nor deny anything,
nor give any reasons for anything.
If he were caught stealing sheep, his
friend James R. Gray would prosecute the
man that lost the sheep.

Bishop Larnbuth Amt Scared.


which is, verify loud, raucous insistent,
stentorian and somewhat imperious roar
there is a letter from Bishop Lambuth, who
IS now in Africa riding around on the rivers
IN luxurious Household, working vehe-
mently for the uplift of Fuzzy -wuzzy, and
the greater glory of the Lord.
We know that the Bishop is winning souls
by the House boat method, for he says so him
self In fact he wants a new floating palace,
to cost $4,000.
If he can make out with the old one, until
l can plant missionary cotton patch and
gather the crop, he shall have that new boat.
One thing that / like about the Bishop is,
that he is 50 imperturbably courageous. He
is hard to scare. He says SO himself.
In his letter to the ''Voice" he writes
We anchored for the night against an island in
this immense river (Kassaf0 Around about us
were hippos twice the size of horse, and the
water swarmed with crocodiles; but no harm
came nigh, nor was 1 uneasy for s1agle moment,
having committed my way unto the Giver Of every
good and perfect gift.
See there now! What did [ tell you? The
Bishop was in the midst Of the immense river,
Cassie; and he was beleaguered by hippopo-
taml, twice as large as horses.
True, he does not say what kind of horses,
whether Shetland ponies or Percheron dray-
average horse of the country.
But although the hippos were terribly big,
and the alligators large and hungry, the
Bishop wasn't even pheazed. He had COM
mitted his soul to God, and the Bishop knew
that no alligator, or hippo would be permitted
to climb aboard and eat him up. Thank the
Lord!
The Bishop writes. further

Running to the deck, saw three grazing in the

was impossible to reach one with gun to do any
effect, and then one must have paid $500 license
to the Belgian government.
I am sorry the Bishop put that in. He
might have left it out. Evidently, he eoarted
to shoot these elephants.
What! A house-boat soul-winner want to
kill harmless elephants whom God made, and
put there for some purpose of His own?
Alas the Bishop as good as tells us that if
the elephants had not been out of range, and
protected by $500 penalty, he would have
dyed his pastoral hand in the life-blood of
one Of those huge vegetarian animals.
While God was protecting the Bishop from
the alligators, the law was protecting the ele-
plants from the Bishop.
The Bishop proceeds
s. Another interruption. This time we sighted
twenty hippos in the river few hundred yards
off. They have been shot at, however, and are
timid. A wonderful sight these huge beasts!
Ills bones are as strong pieces of brass; his
bones are like bars of iron he drinketh up a
river, and hasteth not"
This is a land of wonders and surprises No
man knoweth what day may bring forth Perils
are thick about us, but in the hollow of
HiS>hand.
Our party have been kept In health thus far
and we feel deeply grateful for all of Gods
mercies.
And the hippos were ont Of range, also!
Too bad.

He went after the box. throwing 1t to
