WHY do some of our people try so hard

Nearly all the crime in the United States
is due to the foreign element.
Nearly all the pauperism and the illiteracy
is due to the foreign element
Nearly all the Roman Catholic power and
tyranny is due to the foreign element.
Nearly all the cheap labor which impover-
ishes the native Americans is due to the for
eign element.
Haven't We got enough Of it? How many

something, and the farmers q0ere partly to
blame for gr0a0aag so much coEron.
What could the State of Georgia have done?
How could the farmers foresee the European
war? And how could Democrats generally
suspect IN 1912 that Democratic President
and Congress would give all the fairness of
legislation and appropriations to Republican
corporations and national-bank milIionaires?
The larger part of the Hoke Smith state
ment Of November 9th is taken up with
''pending legislation
That IS deceitful term for the relief
measures which were proposed in Congress,
and which were defeated.
They did not pass. and they never will.
Why! Because President Wilson and a ma
Jorlty of the Democrats oppose them
The Hoke Smith bills, which naturally
monopollze his praise, never had ghost of
chance, and he h9seqc 1t.
They never will pass, and he h4aoaos 1t!
But he IS so accustomed to lay new pave
ment Of fresh promises Deer the rotten side
ao0th Of las old promises, that he actually
seems to believe that this belated installment
of political asphalt will be taken at his own
valuation.
The one measure Of Southern relief that
had chance to pass, was the Henry bill,
and Hohe Smith q0cnt to the White House
and fought it,
Why did he fight it?
First, because it wasn't his bill, and
Second, because the Henry bill qooa1d A5eg-
ate Southern business from the ty1unu,icaz
Noaey Trust, which President Wilson has
legalized, and of which Hoke Smiths regional
bank in Atlanta is an integral part
No: the literal truth is, the South gets no
consideration because it cannot help the Re
publicans, or hurt the Democrats.
Being slave to the national Democratic
party, the South gets the treatment Of slave.
That's all there is to it. Any other ex-
PLANTATION Of the manner in which this Demo
cratic Administration has spit upon the cotton
growers, and left all Of us in this terrible fix,
is mere hypoeritlcal pretense and subterfuge.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-11-19


to blame Congress because it had done bit
lttle to help the Southern cotton situation.
Here are his exact words
Our situation In the South, so far as the
TdaneeTaS concerned, and SO far as agricultural
products are concerned has been LITTLE
HELPED By oaay measure qchich has passed
his Congress-"
Was he telling the truth, then? Every man
IN the South knows that he was
Is he telling the truth, noD? Every man
In the South knows that he isn't.
On October %, when Hoke Smith made
that speech In the Senate Congress had done
but little to help the agricultural situation.
1t did nothing after October %. Yet, after
telling the Senate on that day that the Gov
eminent had done 'little" to help the farmers
OF the South, he now says on November 8. that
the situation IN the South has been 5nonaensezlJ
helped"
Who can reconcile these two statements?
Who can believe both? One or the other is
deliberate falsehood, Which is it?
He did not lie to the Senate. He knew bet
ter than to do so. Other Senators. who do
not love him because they so thoroughly I'M
derstand him. were present to expose him. if
he lied to them.
But with the people it is different: with his
blind partisans it is different with his peon
o.
them, when Hoke Smith tells it.
Continuing his vote-catching speech of Oc-
tober o. he blamed Congress for not remov-
ing the 10 per cent tax on State-bank notes,
not allowing State banks to Join the new cur
rency association, not authorizing the Govern
ment to purchase 100000 bales of cotton,
and not establishing a Cotton Warehouse
loan system!
But the elections are over for this YEAR his
eyes turn toward 1916: he smells danqe4
0head; and he therefore issues a statement
that gives the downright lie to every state
ment he made to the Senate, before the cleo
tl0ns.
The statements he made on October % are
true: that being so, his statements to the ex-
act contrary cannot possibly be true.
AS this matter is permanently important
and will be a hot issue in the next campaign,
let us see what more Hoze Smith said in Che
Senate, on October %, 1914:
This great Government was not able to do
for one-fourth Of her citizens, and her greatest
agricultural product so far as export was con-
cerned and her greatest of all exports, what the.
little Government of Egypt able to do for the
cotton growers of Egypt.
We statesmen, the representatives of the peo-
pie of this great country, both here and at the
other end of the Avenue, lie down stpinely and do
nothing. am not proud OF anybody who partici-
pates in leaving such condition with no relief
Oh, it is all right; the SPECTATOR will get the
cotton, and six or eight months hence it will be
selling at or 10 cents pound, as it seems that
next years crop will be greatly curtailed and the
men who got it from the who made it will
rich harvest at the expense of the tiller of
the soil; and great statesmen will have the
qualification OF knowing that did nothing.
On October D, Hoke Smith said in the
Senate that ''we statesmen lie down supinely
and do nothing"
He said, they were leaving the situation
