The Smiths in Politics
Glance at Their Record and Present
Status as Omceholders.

The fact that the umerou Smith
family has lacked political solidarity
has bee demonstrated by the lew Of
fees its members have held in the
history of the country. There have
been many Smiths in the army and
they have upheld the honor Of the
name. But we v had q presi-
in the|history Of the United States
have been in the cabinet-Robert,
Caleb. Hoke and Charles Emory.
There has lever been a Smith on the
United States supreme court One
Smith. from Iowa., is United States
circuit Judge, and three Smiths arc
United states district judges, two Of
Smith among the United States dis
trict attorneys and only one United
States Marshal. Smith, who resides at
Parkersburg. W. Va There Is not a
single Smith among the governors.
There r only three in the house Of
representatives.
But there appears to have been a
combination, working to pack the
United States senate with Smiths.

March, 1908. there vas only one
Smith in the Stxtieth- congress. viii
liam Alden Smith Of Michigan. There
are, now i've of the n%inety-six United
States senators who bear that cog
nomen, or more than S per cent Of
the entire body. They are William
Alden Smith of Michigan. whose
term expires next March, and Eli

Hoke Smith Of Georgia, John Walter
Smith Of Maryland. and Marcus A.
Smith Of Arizona, the terms Of all
expiring in March, 1921, The Browns,
who often outnumber the Smiths in
city directories, have not a single
senator or representative, unless they
are willing to claim the Wisconsin
representative who uppishlyr spells
That there is something Systematic
about the new Smith movement is
indicated by the proposal Of Alfred
E. Smith by the recent New York un-

will be balanced by the decision Of

The vessel was sunk in deep water,
which of itself would prevent salvage
operations +. Moreover. the damage
she sustained from the torpedoes was
very great. Judging by the short time
she remained afloat. Where she sank
the sea Is about $50 feet deep. No
divers could work there, and even
landsmen would not expect a vessel
to be raised in the open sea. where
the wrecking outfit would be attacked
by Dur navy and our aviators.

LONDON TODAY
 MUCH DIFFERENT
 FROM DICKENS DAY

LONDON, July 24.-An interest ing contrast of wartime London to- day with the London as Dickens knew it is drawn by the well known writer George R. Sims in one of the daily papers. He had been wander ing around the old familiar spots immortalized by the great novelist and he thought "of the happy days and nights of long ago when Dick ems found the joy of life in every street and byway of the big city, and the feast and the wassail bowl were typical of the Merrie England in which he lived" He compares them with the days that are, when Britain is fighting for her very ex- istence as a nation, when the food of the people is strictly rationed, when the houses of cheer are closed during many hours of the day, and when, long before midnight, curfew rings out and hushes the great city to silence"

 The sentiment in favor of strong commercial union among the Allied nations after the war ap- to be growing both in strength and definition There is involved in the idea something more than the notion that Germany is to be curbed pun shed by boycott by exclusion from the usual rights extended to nations at peace. What is want ed is plan that will for the suffering people of the invaded countries
 The end of the will find them impoverished and without to rebuild their demolished homes and factories. In opeu internatinal market there will be arrayed against them all of the neutral countries, nearly all of which have been growing rich result of the war, and there will be German industry which is powerfully organized and has behind it the full support and cooperation of the Government.
 One of the great concerns of German statesman hip today Is economic preparation for peace The German demand for raw materials will be tremendous. Copper, iron, timber, oil, wool, cOttonamost every thing that will be needed in Belgium occupied France, italy, Serbia and Russia-will be bounced upon by German manufacturers, whose supplies have long been exhausted the result of the blockade and to this demand will be added large demand among the more fortunate of the Allies Those who need the most and deserve the most will be the least able to win in the scramble.
 For their protection and for the sake of justice to them some arrangement must be made through which deserving want shall before greed.
 This is enough for planning a conner cial union after the war and to that reason must be added all the reasons why the Central Powers must be met and opposed in economic way until they ready to come into general union of the Powers with clean hands.

JUST FOR RECORDS SAKE.

An Interior paper, commenting upon The Empires expose of Gov Strongs foreign citizenship which it was conclusive, adds
 "H is evident they have known the facts
 for some time and didn't holler. The Empire ex-
 plains that it didn't start after Strong until 1t

 the plums of the Territory between himself and

 Just that the revord may be kept straight, we must contradict. The Empire opposed the reappoint- ment of Gov Strong primarily, because he had failed to make good a progressive and constructive Gov ernor and secondly because he attempted to under mine and destroy peRsonal political those who were endeavoring to do needed things for the Territory. AS far The Empire is concerned, and as far as Delegate Suzer and other leaders are coll cerned until November. 1917, that the facts were learned caused them to regard seriously the rumors of his non-citzenship. AS soon as these facts were learned the investigation was started.
