By RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., July 2S.-Com-
further dpCn the structures of
the Georgia Historical association upon
the official records CT the Georgia sen
ators. ,he New York Times, n leading
administration paper, today publishes
an editorial saying that Senator Hoke
Smith should be exempted from condem-
ma tiOn. The editorial is entitled, Sen
atOr Smiths Good Service" Ii fol-
lows:
In truth and justice, Senator Hoke
Smith must be exempted from the
condemnation passed upon the two
Georgia senators by the Atlanta Con-
stitution. A criticism reprinted in
the Times and which misled the
Times into joining the name of Sem
ator Smith with that of Senator
Hardwick in unfavorable comment.
Whatever Senator Hardwick may
have done, Senator Smith has given
earnest and effective support to the
measures by which congress must
confer upon the executive the au-
thority. power and means to carry
ON the war. Individual items in
some of the bills Senator Smith has
opposed. such as the foolish censor
ship amendment to the espionage
bill and the provisions which inn
ported irrelevant and Objectionable
matter into the food bill, but this
was loyal and wholesome service
springing from a desire TO put the
country as promptly as possible I'm a
position TO confront the enemy.
Senator Smith has effectively re-
piled to the Georgia Historical So
ciety. which criticised him. He has
also justified himself against at
tacks from other Georgia sources.
Prior to our entering the war, his
course in the senate was much open
TO criticism. but since we have been
at war he has shown himself to be a
thoroughly good American.
In his speech TO the senate pro-
testing against obstruction to the
food control bill by the insertion of
provisions not germane to its pur-
pose. Senator Smith said that the
energy and force of every American
should support the nation. and that
we should put our hearts. our heads
and our bodies into this struggle
until, by Gods help, we may crush
our enemy to a place where we can
obtain an honorable and lasting
peace. Those are good American
sentiments which we commend.
