SENATOR SMITHS WORK FOR
THE COTTON GROWERS.

Unfriendly critics of Senator Hoke
Smith-and his unfriendly critics
are never silent many days at a
time-have persistently sought to
make political capital out of the
Georgia Senator's connection with
the negotiations of the United States
with foreign governments, particu-
larly with Great Britain, relativ. to
interference by belligerents with tnc
shipment of American cotton to Eu-
rope.
There has never been, and there
can never be, under International
law as 1t is now established, any
Justification for the seizure or delay
of cargo of non-contraband when
moving from one neutral port to an
other neutral port. Great Britain
has simply ignored precedent and law
in dealing with cotton and other
non-contraband cargoes, and in the
end she will have to effect a settle
ment with the United States and
other neutrals involving many mill
ions of dollars.
Senator Smith has been working
solely in the interest of the Southern
cotton farmer, and it was inevitable
that he should encounter tremen-
dous obstacles. He has persistent.
ly combatted these, and is still seek
ing to bring about that understand
ing which is so important to the
Southern cotton growers. That crit
icisms have come only from his
avowed political enemies is signifi-|
cant.
After denying that the govern
ment of the United States or any one
authorized to speak for the Southern
cotton growers had at any time
waived any rights of the latter
to freely ship their cotton, when they
had complied with all necessary and
reasonable regulations, Sen. Smith,
in an interview appearing several
days ago in the New York Times,
said, speaking of the cotton ship
pers:
No one has been named in this
country to hear their claims. No
intelligent procedure has been pre-
sented by which their claims may be
adjusted. No definite provision has
been made for settlements. 1t is
matter which passes beyond the DOW
er of the individual to protect him
self. 1t is case in which our gov
eminent must act to right the
wrongs of her citizens.
Back of it all is the fact that the
whole procedure by Great Britain is
illegal. Trade and commerce in cot
ton, tobacco, and all non-contraband
is injured. We are also denied the
privilege of using German products.
Il earnestly hope Great Britain
Will ledllhe IndI CnlS country cannot
permit the notice of March /, or the
order of March IL, to remain as a
burden upon our citizens. PROBING
lish sentiment in this country must
yield before the manifest injustice
Of Great Britain to our citizens.
AT the last session of Congress
there was strong sentiment in ia
vor of stopping the expectation of
munitions of war to the Allies. I'm
less this order is modified when Con-
gress meets, the expectation of mu-
nitions of war will be stopped, and
the action of Congress may go much
further.
Again let me hope that the Bril-
fish government, in accordance with
the cordial good will which has ex
listed between the people of the two
countries for more than a hundred
years, will cease disregarding inter
national law to the injury of our
people" Albany Herald

was shown yesterday in the U. s..
Chamber the desk occupied by Jeffer-
son Davis when he represented the
great state of Mississippi in the u. s.
Senate before the war.
1t is at present occupied by that
brainy and scholarly Senator from
Mississippi, the Hon. John Sharp
Williams. On the side of the desk
is the sign of scar which was ex-
planned as being done by a Union SOL
der just after the war, who when
the desk was pointed out to him as
being the one occupied by Mr.. Davis
he thrust his bayonet in it. Possibly
we will never know just how Mr..
Davis felt and suffered in the cruel
ostricism to which he was exiled
from the close of the war to his
lamentable death. But | still love
to think of him as the gallant SOL
der who won victory over the pro-
test of General Zachary Taylor, and
who upon that occasion apologized to
Mr.. Davis (who had married the gem
erals daughter against his wild say
ing that his daughter was a better
judge of human nature than he was.
Jeff Davis was a brave soldier,
great orator, an eminent statesman
and a grand patriot | reverence
and cherish the memory of this great
man.
A few days ago it was my pleasure
to look upon the library of Thomas
Jefferson. 1t is cut off in an enclo-

A lot of these books are Latin and
