HIGH TRIBUTE PAID
SENATOR HOKE SMITH
BY JOHN TEMPLE erAvEg

There are few who would deny to Hoke
Smith the distinction of beinG strong man.
In any assemblage anywhere, he would be
counted so.
From his earliest entrance into public life
he was force. AS q young lawyer at the At
lanta bar he was an aggressive, fOrceful. COM
polling personality, with courage and pur-
pose, and the genius Ct work about him ev-
erywhere. He knew what he wanted and
went after it. He is a force in the senate
of the United states, not waiting to be feath-
cred and fedged by time and trial, but going
to the front at Once-and staying there. Few
men il public life are more Independently
circumstanced. He has had every office-save
one-that pu! lie life can give. He has been
twice governor of Georgia by overwhelming
majorities. He is serving his third term in
the senate. He started his public career
by stepping from the ranks into Cleveland's
cabinet and was one o the ablest of all the
secretaries of the interior. He has won a
comfortable fortune at the bar by hard work
and he ought to know, as other men know
that his great commonwealth of Georgia
needs his splendid services in the senate more
than he needs the senate to give him repute
fortune. He is loyal Democrat, but an
independent one, registering without hesita-
ton difference with party or president, but
ably sustaining both in all essentials Of real
democracy. Foremost in a Ions list of con-
structive acts of legislation in the senate,
HOke Smith cherishes his l2ading part in
limiting the overseas service Of our soldiers to
the war with Germany and not leaving it in
definite; and also in the vocational bill for
taking care Of wounded and disabled SOL
diers returning home. He has been pow
erful factor in all educational and agricult
ural legislation and the senior senator from
Georgia is literally sleepless sentinel upon
the watchtower of all national legislation that
touches the interests of Georgia and the
south. Georgia has reason to be proud of

THE WASTRELS
BV DR.. Frank Crane

do not justify the wastrels, but l feel that
somehow do not understand them.
To me there is something as battling in I'M
reasoning folly as there is in inhuman saint
hood.
Being mere human, of the commons,
observing the mora1ities enough to keep out
of JAIL and doing enough evil to avoid the
imputation of perfection, can come at Fran
co.'s Villon as unsatisfactory as at Francis of
Assist.
It is hard to believe that our respectable
and suburban code has properly placed the
scoundrels and rotters of the world.
For there is something beautiful in them,
a red flower grows on their slime farer and
more appealing than any roses in the garden
of decency
We are made of clay, yet not wholly: it is
MKT with a strange fire, to be dreaded pos
sibly, but still to be wondered at
Think of that same Villon. 1t is true, as
Alfred Lord Douglas says, that he was an
outcast and vagabond, sometimes thief that
he consorted with scoundrels and cut Threats

and harlots, and that he narrowly escaped be-
ing hanged, but-in the pit and filth and hor-
ror wherein he lived we see enshrined this
miracle, a beautiful and serene splendor of
soul, a divine and constant light
And Gerard de Nerval, who despised all
laws and conventions. holding that "the fam
lily and family life were only fit for grocers,
politics might interest policemen, but poet
should be occupied with pleasure, the pas
sion ferOce du beau" He despised money
and died crazy. Yet Andrew Lang declares
his poem "Sylvie' one of the MASTERPIECES of
the world.
And Henri Murger, who said that in read
ing La Fontaine's fable his heart was always
on the side of the grasshopper.
And Francis Thompson, vagabond, yet most
majestic genius, "slain by life," one said
of him. ''for life is coarse and clumsy when it
touches a soul of cOlored mist and airy fire.
''Sad bad glad and mad brothers ALL asks
Mr.. Mosher, "have they been long ago wash
ed in the blood of the mediator and redeem
er, Time?"
We may not know. There must be some
thing in the weak asses of folly, else the devil
would not ride them so, and women love
them.
AS I said, l would not excuse them, still, as
old Arkel says, in Pelleas and Melsande,
Isl j'etais Dieu j'aurais pitic des hommes''-
If 1 were God [ should have pity on men.

Satisfying Sincere Critics

Though a man convinced against his will

course. Senators like him who declared that
he would not vote for Americas entering
the League although it were championed by
the Saviour of Mankind, will not be persuad
ed. But those who offered specific Objec-
tions and asked for specific amendments
should now see their way clear to cast their
influence intellectually for this great in
gstrument of peace and goodwill On all es-
-sentials their requirements have been met.
- They expressed fears that the League
s would inyalidate the Monroe Doctrine and
e expose the Western hemisphere to European
; interferences or dictatiOns. Well there has
e. been inserted in the new draft of the covenant
q a distinct affirmation that the Monroe Doc
trine shall continue Unchallenged and undis-
turbed Outside of Republican craftsmanship,
it was generally felt that Chere was no real
need of this particular provision inasmuch
as the whole purpose and manifest spirit OF
the League was to make the principles of
5the Monroe Doctrine worldwide in applca-
ton. Nevertheless, the anXieties of the mi
norty were respected, SO that there can be
mo further objections on that score.
Likewise the criticism that membership in
the League would be forever binding upon
the United States and quite unacceptable has
been conclusively met. The new draft speci-
--fes on this point that "a State may with
Z draw from the League, providing it has kept
Tits obligations to date, on giving two years
notice" 1t goes without saying that a
League of Nations composed of dissatisfied
members would lack the prime elements OF
existence, would indeed be unable to survive
for single twelvemonth Neither the Unit
ed States nor any other Government could be
constrained into continuing in the League
under unjust or dishonorable circumstances;
land as long as affairs went justly and hon
orally there would be no reason for with
drawal However, in order that there might
be no shade or ghost of doubt, explicit
provision covering this question has been, in
serted.
third point of apprehension-that con-
corning Americas right to restrictive meas
uras on immigration-has been just de-
cisivey met by the Paris Conferences rejec-
ton Of a proposed amendment by Japan.
Moreover, the covenant of the League I'M
equivocally sets forth that there shall be no
interferences with the purely internal am
domestic affairs of any member. On this
item, then, the most meticulous mind should
have no further anXi-Cy.
There was one other point OF protest, ana
of all, perhaps, the most groundless md

The Augusta Chronicle notes as one of the
particularly cheering omens of the day that in
every region of the South plans are being
made to construct permanent paved roads
Georgia" our contemporary adds, sis
going to be in the forefront of this work.
Richmond county will build at least three
and possibly ten miles of permanent
roads this year. Spalding county has al
ready built one mile and is planning
more. thomas county will build some
paved roads, and 50 will Ware, while
Chatham, Bibb and Muscogee will do ex-
tensive work without delay. Up in North
Georgia, Barlow county plans permanent
roadways.
To these praiseWorthy examples may now
be added Colquitt cou--ty's magnificent ma
jority of votes for it's half million dollar bond
issue to provide adequate highways, and the
almost unanimous Endorsement which Sum-
ter county recently gave a bond proposal Of
the same amount and for the same purpose
Glynn, Dougherty, LOwndes, Charlton, Wal
to, Terrell, NeriWether, TrOup and others
are either projecting cOnsummating plans
for extensive highway improvements. In fact
the county or district that is not bestrring it
self in the cause of better roads stands out
as conspicuous exception to the spirit Of the
times.
