HoKE SMITHS LOYALTY

1t isn't criminal for Hoke Smith
to set himself Alright after he finds
himself wrong any more than it is for
finds the error he has committed. If
that were the case with Hoke Smith
in his present day conduct in Wash.
ing ton, he would have little of the
doubt back here in Georgia that is
raised regarding his loyalty He has
even since the war started appeared
TO bethe friend of Germany. 1t l.
very certain that this was teh case
before the war How he could bit
terly fight anything that appeared t.
advance England's cause and hindeI
Germany, when even that early il
the conflict every stroke of the HUI
appeared to be limiting our own free
dom, is something that neither his
friends nor any Georgian could ex
plain.
On at least one occasion Senator
Smith is credited with having said the
war was a great mistake and that
Wilson had dragged the country int
it for his own personal ambitions
There is every evidence that he is as
wholly out of accord with President
Wilson as is Tom Hardwick. His con,
duct in this special instance is more
despicable than is that of Hardwick
for the latter seems not to have any
disposition to deceive any one about
it
Dispatches coming back to Georgia
now telling of Senator Smiths loyalty
and apparent effort to support the ad-
ministration in the many burdens OF
prosecuting the war are i'll fitting and
do no seem at all honest
When Senator Smith starts now at
this late hour to try tp impress upon
his constituents that he is really trying
to help the administration he must
know that he has along way to go.
All Georgia looks upon him much in
the same light as that which guides
in Hardwick's case He Is in truth
one of the bitterest enemies the Pres
ident has in Washington Every time
he gets a chance to upturn anything
the administration wishes he is there
bold and cold blooded
Geergians are not COINS to forget
that they have two very very in eff
cient public servants representing
them in the United States senate
Bull. headed, big l and little YOU and
pure cussedness for a reason for op-
posing the president are such charac-
teristics as may properly be termed
inefticiency
In generation the office of United
States senator from Georgia has enver
BEEN filed up by two men SO poorly
qualified to serve in the presnt crisis
as are both Smith and Hardwick They

AGE LIMIT FOR USEFULNESS

AGE LIMIT FOR USEFULNESS
The Atlanta Constitution in recent
editorial utterance, taking rea lexam-
Piles form life offers wonderful en-
enlargement TO the man who has
gone over and beyond the forty-age
limit for activities that count in life.
To quote:
Genius is capricious thing. For
illustration, Villain Cullen Bryant
wrote his masterpiece. "Thaantopsis,"
before he was twenty; Lord Byron
died in his 30's, whileHubert Howe
Bancroft, word-famous historian. who
died in California at the advanced
age of Sc, enver wrote line--did not
suspect, even, that he could write
until after he passed 40'
There is something remarkable
about the life and literary legacy of
Boncroft, fully as much so as bout
the lives of Bryant, Byron or the many
ohtre luminaries in literature whose
claim to undying fame rests upon
more or less precocious achievements;
and hi scareer goes TO show that the
lugubrious old wall of diseonsolation
and Encouragement, "forty and fail
ure," is, after all. nothing more tain
an alliterative, meaningless, uniustif-
ed and uniustitiable, confession of
weakness.
No man or woman having strength
Of body and normal mind, can be a
failure at 40 True, thousands upon
thousands at reaching 40 are not able
to give a good accent of theis talents.
SO far as visible results show, a man
may have wasted the fist forty years
IF his life; but if he had the proper
Ingredients in his makeup originally
ne has plenty of time in which to re
'reve lost ground, and make amends
for past mistakesand achieve more
Turing the time vet to be his than
many do in the entire lifetime.

simplest manuscript Yet he left

sides several books other than his

His achievements simply show the
possibilities in life's afternoon. The
career OF Bancroft, the distinction he
attained the good he did for the world
while he lived and the heritage he
left behind when he died. all go to
show what possibilities are before
any normal man at 40
"A few years,-say IS. 40 or even
5O-do not, after all, count for much.
