Military Manuals

An ample supply Of military manuals,
covering the many complicated branches
of prescnt-day warfare. will enable our
soldiers to avoid the numerous costly
mistakes made in the early stages of the
war. The three handbooks here consid-
cred are Of value because their authors
are practical fighters. whose experience
has been gained through intimate con-
tact with actual battle conditions. and
who have the faculty OF presenting that
knowledge clearly. simply and briefly

as the authors Of Manual of Mill

OUR WANT ADS BRING RESULTS
THE WASHING MACHINE A
BOON TO FARM WOMEN

The family washing is the hardest
part of the farm woman work.
Many thousands of women are break
ing their backs and endangering the
lives. of coming generations by using
the old washtub. With power wash
ing machine a large farm washing
can be done easily in two hours, which
in the old back-breaking way would
take all day. This being true, there
is no reason why farm women should
shorten their days by carrying water
into the house, doing the family wash
ing by old methods, and emptying
heavy tubs of water, when the outlay
of small sum of money would get a
washing machine. Any washing ma
chine, hand power or gasoline, is far
better than the old way, and the soon
er this machine is installed in every
home the better.-The Progressive
Farmer.

SENATOR HOKE SMITH

In view of the fact that certain
newspapers here in Georgia have re-
Gently been endeavoring, for purposes
that are obviously political, to cast
cloud over Senator Hoke Smith on
acco mt of his attitude toward some
of the measures before Congress
which were supposed to be admins
tration measures, the action of the
Democratic steering committee of the
Senate in selecting the senior senator
from Georgia to go on the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, as was
reported in our press dispatches yes
terday, is of more than passing sig
nificance.
Following the death Of Senator
Stone, of Missouri, Senator Hitchcock
of Omaha, the next ranking member,
was made chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee, and then it was
decided on account of the Importance
of the Military Affairs committee, to
increase its membership by two. Sen
ator Hoke Smith was accordingly u
unanimously elected by the Democrats
as their new representative on the en-
enlarged committee, the Republicans
choosing Senator Knox, of Pennsyl-
vania.
In view of the circumstances under
which Senator Smith was unanimous
ly selected by the Democrats to go on
the Senate Military Affairs commit
tee, it must be admitted even by the
senior Georgia senator's political enc
mics that he has been given a very
high testimonial as to his ability, pa
triotism and loyalty, by his Democrat
ic colleagues in the Senate.
The recognition thus given to Sen
ator Smith is one that speaks for it.
self and cannot be minimized nor dis
counted by anybody for selfish or po-
litical reasons. 1t is a recognition,
too, of which all loyal, broad-gauge
Georgians, regardless of political diff
ferences or prejudices, may be proud.
The emergency was one which call
ed for big man, and the majority
party in the Senate chose the senior
Georgia senator for it. = Albany
Herald.
We have noted the disposition on
the part of some papers to disparage
every act of Senator Smith, but the
animus of said papers is so well un-
derstood in Georgia, that it seems un-
necessary to even speak of it. Sen
ator Smith will probably be able to
take care of himself, but it is just as
well to keep the record straight as we
go along.

A BLIND SIDE

A number of the good editors OF
this state undoubtedly have blind
side, and the Hon. w. J. Harris has
succeeded in getting on that blind
side.
This has been evident to all casu-
al and unprejudiced observers for
some time, but the recent chorus
of criticism they have been sing
ing against Bill Schley Howard for
leaving Washington and coming to
Georgia to run for the senate, is
proof conclusive that some of them
are stone blind on one side.
For about a year now, the Hon. w.
]. Harris has been keeping the rails
hot" between Washington and Geor-
gia, in an active campaign for the U.
S. Senate. True he was not seeing
the common people or keeping in
touch with them, but he was seeing
the men whom he thought would con-
troll the election this year. He was
conducting what is called gum
shoe" campaign.
However it was most active cam
paign, and it has been in progress for
more than year, and during that
time he has been almost continuously
enroute either to or from Georgia.
If you don't remember this to be
true, you only have to refer to the
files of the Atlanta or Washington
newspapers to have your memory re-
freshened. These papers in a meas
ure recorded the comings and goings
of Bill at least when his "gum shoes
made enough noise to attract atten-
ton.
1t was just continuous case of
"off again, on again, gone again
Flanagan" You never could tell
he was "off or on" The ed
itors, the lawyers, the preachers, the
doctors, the butchers, the bakers, or
the candlestick makers, could not
have little quiet meeting of their
own, anywhere here in Georgia, but
what Bill Harris would be right there
to tell them what to do and how to
do it.
Sometimes we wondered how in the
world they got along in Washington
when he was gone so often, but they
did somehow He was Chairman of
the great Federal Trade Commission
land by the way, he is yeti and was
drawing $4,000 per year, and the
papers always stated that fact when
they announced his coming and going,
it made his name sound bigger.
Why his name got to be as familiar
as Cardui, or Pinkhams, or Castoria,
and the advertising was free too.
Some people can come and go, and
never get their names in the paper,
but not so with Bill, he always got in
the papers, except when he was on
some ''snake foot" business, and wore
his extra gum Shoes"
The inability of some editors to see
these STACEY" operations of w. J.
Harris, and then to raise cry of neg
lect of duty against William Schley
Howard convnces us that they are
blind on one side.
