which they held onto the hook. Man
is SO constituted that the moment a
scheme is presented to him to tighten
his tax burden by increasing the other
fellows, he falls in with it with raptur-
Gus spontaniety. This weakness was
taken advantage of by progressive lea
ders with the result that they attracted
thousands and thousands of voters to
their standard who today are breathing
imprecations against them.
The taxpayers were fooled. OF this,
there Is no doubt.

The siren song Of the progressive re-
former, with its pleasant tax reduction
refrains and dew drops of celestial
melody; fairly entranced the farmers
and homeowners, and put them in a
state Of coma from which they are now
emerging only TO find that all they
heard were babbling dreams full of
magnificent promises, preached in the
making. Now they kick, in circles,
high, wide and fancy; kick in concert,
with both feet and an imaginary pro.
gressve on the toe OF each boot.
Back in the great granite state house,
whose white dome communes with stars
and clouds, there are the promisors, a
vast body OF tax eaters, revealing in sal
AIRY raising orgies, blowing in the kick
er's cash with reckless and prodigal
abandon, as II it rained into their poe
kets and there YVES not a single drop Of
sweat connected with it's making. No
pangs permeate this group of gay de-
ceiyers. Taxes may go up, prices 90
down, crops be destroyed without af-
fecting their income; for they fixed IL

does things and can and does, as only one or two
Senators can, and know hou. And that is the
reason the Big Interests and Influences hate him

all the people should stand by him unto the very
last
This will give him courage 1t will make him

Hon Hoke Smith,
United States Senate, Washington, D. C.
Everywhere in South leading men feel that
action by Congress either prohibiting entirely
planting cotton in 1915 limiting planting to 5
acres to the mule is absolutely vital to any effort
. TO care for situation. If prompt action on this
line can be taken, condition will rapidly improve.
We feel constrained to urge you to give this mat
ter your most careful consideration.
g. J. WATSON, President
Need I say that both these plans meet my
wild approval?
S: O. Ham says that all we need to get
u 1-2 cents cotton is, to pass law cutting
next years crop so per cent.
O you Sweet Old Ham.
Wouldn't | like to see the law that could
cut next years crop half in two?
[ sure would.
Where have [ heard that - 10 cents talk
before?
Wasn't it just preceding the primary of
August 10?
st that time, all we needed to get 70 1-2
cent cotton was to elect Hoke Smith
Cousin E. j. Watson goes farther than S.

should be made the limit.
Whose mule?
What sort of acres?
hate to see respectable family, like mine,
scandallzed by such vague proposition as
that of Cousin E. J.
There's lots of difference between mules. and
there's lots of difference in land
Then, again, there is the proposition en-
dorsed by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
and other bucolic organizations
1t IS to the effect that all the counties in
the Cotton Belt go into a new corporation,
whose purpose shall be to abolish the plant
ing Of cotton, and to imprisOn all men who
won't quit.
[ rather like this plan better than that of
Cousin E. j. Watson.
The only objection that | can see to it is,
that it may obstruct the operations of the
farm demonstration work which is to be done
by Senator HoIze Smith.
To put an end to farming, and at the same
time tax the farmers for the cost of the Euro
pean War, and for farm-eXtensOn work.
seems a little bit inconsistent; but I guess
that Senator Smith can explain, reconcile. or

IL Is Tor use in siege guns in destroy

The projectile scatters a white hot

Permeates the atmosphere with a

Mr. Hammond explained that the
proJectlIe carries an aluminothermic
mixture, which, five seconds after the
prolectile is discharged, turns the steel
inside to white hot mixture at a tenn
perature Of $500 degrees Fahrenheit.
When the prOjectile hits the target
the inventor said, it explOdes, its white
noI contents setting fire to whatever
lntlammable material it strikes. To
avoid the possibility Of anyone quench-

had equipped the projectile with a
