Dear Sir: I have thought for
some time that some of our farm
journals have been doing the farmer,
but not until I read the article from
Mr.. Dean, as published in last weeks

South have more money buried in the
old junk pile, (back of their barns},
which consists principally of the re-
mains of most of the new tangled
up-to-date plows, planters, cotton
choppers and cultivat0rs, which were
palmed off on them by some slick
tongue manufacturer assisted by the
same kind Of tongue publisher as
some farm journal.

thing that they think is a good bait

is reached, at so much per square
for twelve months-mind you, the
most Of this takes place before
Christmas Of each year-giving you
ample time to ponder over things be-
fore spring.
Now, if we don't bite as hard and
often as the manufacturer thinks we
should, he consults cur editor a sec
ond time. Soon after the second
conference you will see on the edi-
torial page Of your farm paper, some
thing like this: Read the ad. in to-

LET SENATOR HOKE SMITH ANS
WEIR THIS FAIR QUESTION.
Editor Jeffersonian.

" A4AU 1HAAhC LAAAO W
Editor Jeffersonian.
In addressing the Senate August
9th, 1912, Senator Hoke Smith spoke
IN favor Of free tolls for coastwise
vessels and voted for that law.
Senator Smith said in part, as fol-
lows:
That it was no discrimination,
under language practically similar
to the language found in this treaty,
to extend privileges to the coast
wise vessels that were not extended
to the foreign vessels"
That nearly every nation handles
its coastwise business exclusively in
vessels Of its own; that this treaty
do not mean to apply to coastwise
vessels"
Our statutes, like the laws of
most other countries, limit the coast
wise trade to American vessels"
The above quotations show that
Senator Smith, in 1912, when he
voted for free tolls, knew he was
extending privileges" to q mono
poly, as he declared our laws limit
the coastWise trade TO American YES
sells.
Now, in 1914, the Atlanta Journal
of May 1st, reprints from the New
York World, t'forceful statement
OF his, (2enator Smith's) views on
the tolls question:
10 part, Senator Smith now SAYS:
The vessc 5 used in coastWise
transportation along the coast Of
the United States, are owned princi-
pally by few corporations. The
Of 4hnco
monopoly. The increased divi-
dends Of the corporations owning
cOaStWiSe vessels will go to few
stockholders Of these prosperous cor
pOratiOns. In view Of these facts
there is no reason why the owner of
coastWise vessels should receive q
subsidy, etc.
Compare what Senator Smith said
In 1912, with what he is accredited
with saying in 1914. Both state
ments Of facts are the same. lie.
Coastwise shipping was a mopo-
poly in 1912, and also in 1914.
Yet, in 1912, Senator Smith
voted to 'extend privileges to
coastWise vessels" and now, under
the same laws and treaty, he de-
clares ''theTo is no reason why the
owners Of coastwise vessels should
receive subsidy"
Why did Senator Smith vote in
1912 for a subsidy for which he now
says there is no reason? What Pea-
son had he in 1912, which should
not apply now? Let Senator Smith
tell the people Of Georgia.

troubles began. She found that hotel
proprietors objected to her keeping pets, 4
and especially bears, in hotel living

polite note to her apartments meant that
it was a case OF part with baby Bruin,

bear did not prove an apt pupil He
would not wink. Cissy became discour-
aged. but Bruin was so cute she deter
mined to keep him for e special pet and
try another bear. Bear number two,
larger and more mature, proved sus-
ceptible to Cissy's teaching, and the
wink developed, but Cissy's troubles
doubled with the coming of the second
bear. She was compelled to move fire.
