Senator Smith at once organized

so as to increase state ratings only

the south Atlantic and gulf ports a
year or 50 ago began their move
ment to build up a great export
trade from the middle west to for
eign markets, they found themselves
the middle west to eastern ports.
1t was absolutely necessary to secure
an equalization of rates before they
could make Roadway.
Senator Smith, by reason of his
great ability and thorough knowledge
of freight rates and transportation,
was selected to present their case
to the railroad administration. His
powerful argument won the case.
'"The Esch-Cummings act under
which the railroads are now operat-
ing, is admittedly an experiment. In
the final working out of the trans
portation problem, which transcends
all others in our economic life, it
is Of the utmost Importance that we
should be represented in the senate
by a man of the towering ability of
Hoke Smith.

particularly from the standpoint of

rates and transportation upon our

Bedroom Furnished
At Cost Of $4,000

A rich London lady a year or two
ago spent over $4,000 in furnishing
her bed chamber. The carpet-a
grand hand-tied purple Administer
cost $500.
The chairs and other furniture are
of solid, carved ivory, with ebony
and gold inlay. The toilet fittings are
of Oriental alabaster and cost some
hundreds of pounds.
In the center of the room is a
Cochin China table, inlaid with
mother-of-pearl and worth $3.50.
The bedstead is of brass, inlaid with
fine pearls, and at the head is an
artificial landscape of crystal, ivory,
amber, pearls and other stones.
Stephen Marchand, an American of
vast wealth, made up his mind to
have an even more extensively fitted
bed chamber, and with that purpose
in view he spent not less than $780,
900 on a bedstead alone.
1t was constructed OF massive
ebony, with elaborate carvings of
solid ivory and inlaid with gold FILL
gree. At the head of the bedstead
was a huge trophy cut from one
piece of ivory.

Senator Smith next took up, the
rural credits act, which he declared
will prove of increasing value as
the years roll by. He told of how
the interest rates on farm loans have
been reduced through the operation
of this law and expressed regret
that it's constitutionality had been
made the subject of litigation that
has temporarily interfered with its
efficacy.
The parcel post system was per-
fected under the Democratic admin

WATSON'S IDEAS
FIGURE IN APPEAL
OF u. S. PRISONER

Excerpts of a speech alleged to
have been delivered by Thomas f.
Watson at Thomson, Ga, on June Is,
1917, and later said to have been
pamphlet form, figure prominently
in petition for writ of habeas
corpus soon to be filed in the fed
eral court here by David Il. Blodgett,
former candidate for congress In
Iowa, now serving twenty years III
the Atlanta federal prison for viola
ton of the espionage act.
Blodgett was found guilty on sew
.eral counts, one of which charged
him with attempting to cause in
subordination, disloyalty, mutiny and
refusal of duty in the military forces
and mailing an eight-page pamphlet.
seven pages of which were devoted
to quotations of Mr.. Watson's speech
at Thomson, according to the prose
cution.
Blodgett, who is lawyer and who
defended himself at his trial in Iowa,
charges conspiracy, Partially and
rascality in connection with his trial.
Shortly after his transfer to the At
lanta penitentiary on March 8, this
year, he~ filed habeas corpus suit,
but as essential court records were
lacking, it was not considered by
Judge Sibley. His present petition,
accompanied by the necessary docu-
ments, has been rendered the clerk
of the United States court here, but
has not been filed or docketed pend
ing payment of the filing fee. which
he states he is ready to pay when
notified of the amount.
Quotations from Mr.. Watson's al
legged speech were used freely by
Judge Martin P. Wade in his charge
to the jury trying the case, accord
in gto the court records, and the
judges expressions of opinion as to
the effect produced by the circulation
of the views therein are cited as
grounds for proving that Blodgett's
trial was unfair.
The speech, as quoted by Judge
Wade, bitterly assails the admins
tration's war policy, denounces the
selective service law and contains
sensational charges as to the conduct
Of officials at Washington during the
early part of the war.
Blodgett's petition raises also the
question of his sanity. He was in
sane in 1915, he attempts to prove by
a former court record, and claims
that he was still of unsound mind
when he printed the pamphlet in
question. He was originally sent to
Leavenworth penitentiary, was later
transferred to a hospital at Wash
ington, D. c., for treatment for in
sanity and was declared cured there
in January of this year.

How to Treat
A Torpid Liver

The liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body. and
when the liver refuses to act, 1t
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches. indigestion, gas, sour
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless corrected immediate
ly.
7 An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry into the system the
impurities that the liver and kidneys
have failed to eliminate.
+ When you treat the liver. alone,
you. treat only a third Of your
trouble, and that is why you have to
take purgatives every few nights.
Calomel or other ordinary laxatives
do not go far enough. If you would

w. A. Parker, president of the
Beck & Gregg Hardware company,
the largest wholesale hardware COM
pany in the south, has written Hpi S,' "a a
ness men of Georgia to support Sen
ator Hoke Smith for recollection. Mr..
Parker is leading citizen and a
successful business man of Atlanta,
whose words will carry weight
wherever they are read. His card
follows:
Editor Journal:
az am supporting Senator Hoke
Smith for reelection because l be-
lieve we need a business man of
in Washington. The work of Senator
Smith in behalf of the business and
agricultural interests of Georgia and
the south has been of inest1mable
value, and, to my mind, 1t Wouid be
the height of folly to throw away
brains and experienve more than ever
before.
Senator Smith has made special
study of the subject of freight rates
and transportation, and is probab-
Ignore familiar with the subject than
any other man in the national house
or senate.
"In 1917 the carriers Of the United
States petitioned the interstate COM
merce commission for general rate
increase OF 10 per cent. Inc petition
was based upon the claim that there
was an emergency growing out of the
war. Southern shippers contended
that the earnings of the carriers in
the south did not justify such an
increase, if any at all.
Saved Millions For South
Senator Smith rendered the most
active and Influential assistance to
the southern shippers in the pro-
lection of their interests. Their sue
cess in defeating the increase saved
millions of dollars for the business
interest of the south. Subsequent
reports filed with the interstate
commerce commission by the car
riers demonstrated our contention
that 1917 was one of the best years
in the history of the carriers of
the south.
During the early part Of the war
Senator Smith put through an
amendment to the act to regulate
commerce whereby the carriers were
required to justify increases in
rates before putting them into eff
feet. Up to that time it had been
customary for the carriers to file
new tariffs on thirty days notice
and the increases automatically
went into effect, after which it was
necessary for the shippers to bring
formal proceedings to show that the

LAREDO, Tex, Oct. 25-Through the port of Laredo, Tex, goes 80 per cent of the exports from the United States to Mexico Last year the total was $27,00O,000 This year Arthur De Sa- racho, Mexican consul general here, says the figure will reach s50,000,00O. The fiscal year is from June to June.
 The figures for June, 1920, were million greater than for Judy, 1919. Business men of Laredo says Sarachos estimate will be verified. And the req son is the very apparent change in sentiment in Mexico towards the United States and the growing confi- dence of the U. s. in the new regime in Mexico.
 Utmost Sincerity
 In encouraging this growing friend ship there could be no doubt of the sincerity of the response of General Jacino B. Trevino to the American greeting. When he arrived with his party at Laredo en route to the Texas state fair at Dallas, he said: T feel very deeply an emotion near to the heart of every a~o oe us that from now on there shall be no darkness l between our two contries. We know it to be fact that for the true friendship of the United States all the resources I of this great country are available.
