HOKE SMITH FOR
LEAGUE, WRITES
HIS SECRETARY

The following letter has been re-
ceived by The Times Recorder from J.
E. Mercer, secretary to Senator Hoke
Smith. setting forth the senator's at
titude toward the league of nations
as proposed by President Wilson:
Washington D. c.. Jan. 6.
Editor Times-Recorder have
been impressed since you have had
charge of The Times Recorder, with
your very generous and friendly
treatment of Senator Hoke Smith, and
naturally | have read your references
to his attitude on the question of
League of Nations, in your last weeks
paper, with some concern, for | fear
ed that you might not fully understand
the senator's mind and be aware of
his friendship with the Presidents
idea of League of Nations.
q am handing you herewith state
ment from the Congressional Record
of December 26th, that is 80 frank
that there seems to be no room for
doubt, in which the senator uses the
language that we ''all may give the
warmest support to the President
expressed conception of a League of
Nations in his address to the Univer-
isty of Paris. On the other hand,
Senator Smith is, as he states it ''viO-
lently" opposed to surrendering any
of the sovereignty of this country to
new constitutional government en-
bracing the other nations. And in
that particular connection invite
your attention to the language OF H.
G.. Wells, inserted in the Congress
ional Record by Senator Lodge on
January Bird Read carefully the last
column of page 975 of the Record of
that date. where Mr.. Wells advocates
d Supreme Court of Nations to which
a Greek village in Macedonia. the Ar
meuian5 in COnstantInOple, the Jews
in ROumania. the Poles in West Prus-
STA, or the negroes in Georgia, may
appeal
The writer is sure that you are dis
posed to be perfectly fair and even
generous with Senator Smith. I have
the impression that you understand
his great worth to the state, and what
is far more important, that you would
not be unfair
The Times Recorder exerts a great
influence in that section Of the state,
from which I came as barefoot
plough boy. and l have no other pur-
pose in writing this letter than to
give you statement of the. facts as
see them here, on which you may base
your own conclusions and from which
you may publish whatever may occur
to you as fair and proper Sincerely
J. E. MERCER, Secretary.

by the University of Paris, said:
my conception of the league
Of nations is just this: That it
shall operate as the organized
moral force throughout the world,
and that whenever or wherever
wrong and aggression are planned
or contemplated, this searching
light of conscience will be turned
upon them, and men everywhere
will ask. What are the purposes
you hold in your hearts against
the fortunes of the world"
ITO that doctrine l think all of us
may give the warmest Of support;
surely we may go that far, although
we may not be willing to surrender
any of the sovereignty of our country
to a new constitutional government
embracing the nations Of the world
that would have the right to dictate
for us governmental policies. l can
not believe for a moment that the
President has advocated or would ad-
vocate any such extreme plan for a
league of nations. I think his views
are far more in line with those found
in the Post editorial.
I'm presenting this editorial, it is
in no way meant as criticism upon
what is taking place in Paris and in
England, but to commend there as
well as everywhere else a rational
view of cooperation by at least the
nations who are now acting as allies,
that they may plan to preserve univer-
sal peace through moral force. without
undertaking to establish any interna-
tional tribunal in the shape of a con-
stitutional form of government, court,
or police to interfere with the gov
ernmental power of the United States. -

Uncle Peabody's Way and Mine.
1t is bad thing to be under heavy
obligation to ones self of which, thank
God, am now acquitted. l have
known men who were their own worst
creditors. Everything they earned
went swiftly to satisfy the demands
of vanity or pride or appetite. l have
seen them literally put out of house
and home, thrown neck and crop into
the street, as 1t were, by one or the
other Of these heartless creditors
each a grasping usurer with unjust
claims.
I remember that Rodney Barnes
called for my chest and me that fine
morning in early June when l was to
go back to the hills, my years work in
school being ended. | elected to walk,
and the schoolmaster went with me
five miles or more across the flats to

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
Where Most Sickness Begins
and Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, NJ. D.

1t can be said broadly that most human
ills begin in the stomach and end in the
stomach. Good digestion means good
health, and poor digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose Of the food you! eat.
troubles begin to crop out IN various FORMS
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the COM
monest forms, but thin, impure blood,
headaches, backaches, pimples, blotches,
dizziness, belching, coated tongue, weak
ness, pour appetite, sleeplessness, coughs,
colds and bronchitis are almost as common.
There is but one way to have good health,
and that is to put and keep your stomach
in good order. This is easy TO do if you
take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery 1t is wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and is so safe to take, for it u
made of roots and herbs. DR.. Pierce, Oh
Buffalo, N. Y, stands behind this standard
medicine, and it is good to know that so
distinguished a physician is proud to have
his name identified with it. When you
take Golden Medical Discovery, you are
getting the benefit of the experience of a
doctor whose reputation goes all around
the earth Still more, you get temper
ance medicine that contains not drop OF
alcohol or narcotic of any kind. Long ago
Dr. Pierce combined certain valuable
vegetable Experimentation the use of
alcohol-so that these remedies always
have been strictly temperance medicines.
If piles are torturing you, get and use
Piercss Ansdyne Pile Ointment. The
quick relief it gives is hard to believe until
you try it. If Constipated, Dr.. PlerCe's
Pleasant Pellets should be taken while
using Anodyne Pile Ointment. Few in
deed are the cases which these splendid
remedies will not relieve and usually over
come They are so good that nearly
every drug store has them for sale.

task was mending the wheelbarrow.
II don't know what Silas would do

his"
The schOolmaster and his family
were fishing and camping upon the
river, and so l lived at the senator's
house with Mrs. Wright and her moth
er until he arrived. What a wonderful
house it was, in my view! I was awed
by it's size and splendOr, its soft car
pets and shiny brass and mahogany
Yet it was very simple.
I hoed the garden and cleaned its
paths and moved the dOOryard and did
some painting in the house.
The senator returned to Canton that
evening on the WATERFOWL stage. He
greeted me with a fatherly warmth
Again l felt that strong appeal to my
eye in his broadclOth and fine linen
and beaver hat and in the splendid
dignity and courtesy of his manners.
"Tve had good reports of you, Bart,
and I'm very glad to see you" he said.
Il believe your own marks have
been excellent in the last year." I VEN,
tUred.

He asked about my aunt and uncle
and told him of all that had befallen
rs, save the one thing of which | had
spoken only with him and Sally.
Il shall go up to see them sOon," he
said
The people of the little village had
learned that he preferred to be let
alone when he had just returned over
the long, wearisOme way from the
scene of his Iabors. SO we had the
evening to ourselves.
Mrs. Wright, being weary after the
days work, went to bed early and, at
his request, | sat with the senator by
the fire for an hour or so. | have al
ways thought it lucky circumstance,
for he asked me to tell of my plans
and gave me advice and encourage
ment which have had a marked effect
upon my career.
I remember telling him that I wished
to be lawyer and my reasons for 1T.
He told me that a lawyer was either a
pest or a servant of justice and that
his chief aim should be the promotion
of peace and good will in his commun-
ity. He promised to try and arrange
for my accommodation in his office in
the autumn and meanwhile to lend me
some books to read while l was at
home.
Before we go to bed let us have a
settlement" said the senator. "Wlll
you kindly sit down at the table there
and make up a statement of all the
time you have given me?"
made out the statement very neat
ly and carefully and put it in his
hands.
'That is well DONE" said he 81 shall
wish you to stay until the day after to-
morrow, if you WILL So you will please
! add another day"
amended the statement and he paid
me the handsome sum of seven dollars.
l remember that after 1 went to my
room that night stitched up the open
ing in my jacket pocket, which con-
I tanned my wealth, with the needle and
! thread which Aunt Deel had put in my
| bundle, and slept with the jacket I'M
