BY JAY. LOvEsToNE

Unless all the rules of the game
of politics as it is played today are
thrown overheard, we will soon be
treated to a rousing celebration OF
the great progressive" victory in
the Senate. Many a so-called pro-
gressive journal, from Battling
Bob" LaFollette's Magazine in Wis
consin to the dreary organs of the
staid old organ of Gompers and
Brothers, the American FederatioE-
ist, will soon greet with reclamation
the election of the Democratic Sem
ator, Ellison d. Smith of South Car
DINA to the Guardianship Of the In
terstate Commerce Committee,
Who is this gentleman, Smith :?
What has he ever done to win the
distinguished service cross from the
capitalist class?
Senator Smith halls from the tex
tile-baron ridden South Carolina,
where thousands of children are ex-
plotted and denied the opportunity
to receive even the most elementary
education.
Senator Smith is native son of
State where thousands of women
employed in the textile mills are
subject to the most despicable work.
ing conditions, starvation wages, 10
per cent getting LEES than $12 o
week, and long hours destroying
their vitality.
Smith Reactionary Nonentity.
This representative of the power
full textile interests Of South Caro-
ina in the Urited States is 4 reac-
tionary nonentity. lie has now been
in the Senate for about fourteen
years. During this period he has
not put over a single measure that
smacks even Of the palcs. progress
sivism. His record in the Senate
Is distinctly bad. II is marked by
many hostile votes to the working
men and farmers on the major is
sues confronting the country.
Feb. 81, 1912 while the end Con-
gross was in session, a bill was
proposed to investigate the condi-
ton of the textile strikers in Law
renee, Mass. Senator Smith lodged
voting on this question.

And even on the railroad ques-
ton Senator Smiths record is pune
tuated with the same straddling
weakness, and an occasional open
fight against progressive or near
progressive measures. 1t is true
Senator Smith has not voted for the
Esch-Cummins Railway Act. But he
waged no real fight against it's en-
actment. What is more, he has on
other occasions shown distinct
friendship for the railroad interests.
When a motion was made in the Sem
ate on Dec. 20, 1919 to extend the
period of Federal control of rail.
roads for two years, Senator Smith
fought against the measue in order
to hasten the governments granting
a bonus of hundreds of millions Of
dollars to the railway corporations
for their having allowed the coun-
try to use the roads while at war.
Safe and Regular.
The new chairman of the Inter
state Commerce Committee which
will handle the railway question, one
Of the most important problems be-
fore Congress, is safe and regular.
Senator Smith has proved himself
a tried and true war horse in the
service of the capitalists of this
country. When LaFollette and his
squad of insurgents voted for Smith
they did not help by an iota to
repeal the vicious bonus to the null
timillonaire railway owners. After
it was announced that Smith was
elected to this key position in the
Senate the railway stocks in the
Wall Street market reacted very
favorably. The big bankers and
manufacturers controlling the arte-
ries Of the nation, the railroads,
heaved a sigh Of relief. LaFollette's
campaign of attrition had ended.
They could now 60 down to bust
ness and forget about Congressional
interference with their dividends.
The progressives had the empty vic.
tory and the capitalists had the full
dividends.

The Real Reason

Now that the smoke of Senator Lodges
10000 word barrage against the Soviet Gov
eminent has disappeared, it is daily becoming
clearer that the United States Government has
totally different objection to recognizing the
Soviet Republic than it has ever admitted pub
licly.
Well-informed observers in Washington
have never taken seriously the Hughes-D laugh
erty fred" scares. The real reason for the re-
fusal of the Administration to resume CONNER
cial and diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia
was recently given to the writer by Senator
who visited Russia last summer. This Senator
who is far from being a progressive said in
part:
When our State Department refuses to en-
ser into amicable relations with the Soviet
Government, it does for one reason only;
and that reason is that the government fears
the effect Of Russian recognition labor
movement.
'Vhs Senator hit the nail on the head One
OF che most powerful influences against the re-
storation of normal relations between the
Soviet Republic and the United States is Sam
uel Gompers and his American Federation of
Labor machine IF Russia were recognized,
thus giving the American workers and farmers
first hand evidence of the constructive charac-
ter of the Russian revolution, Mr.. Gompers
would be deprived of his principal issue. The
bureaucratic officialdom in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has, in the past fou~--sars not
thrown out a single slogan, single call to
action against the employing class. It has
busted itself with fighting reds" and disrupt
ing the various attempts on the part of militant
workers to make our unions effective fighting
organizations in the struggle against the ex-
ploiters
We are sorry for Mr.. Gompers. Russian rec
ognition is drawing near. Nothing has helped
Russian recognition more than the last asinine
sally of Messrs. Hughes and Daugherty sup
ported by Mr.. Gompers. 1t is high time that
the Grand Old Man" of the American labor
movement get himself and his ruling clique a
new tissue"

Introducing the Gentleman from South Carolina

When the final passage of the
Eight Hour Law for railway work
ers was before the Senate, Mr.
Smith likewise found it convenient
to avoid voting.
In the Sixty-Third Congress SEN
ator Smith joined with the reaction
aries to pass the vicious Bacon
amendment to the Seaman's Act pro-
posed by Mr.. LaFollette, who has
now thrust greatness upon hin. by
making him chairman of the most
important Senatorial committee.
When the Clayton antitrust act was
before the Senate for final DISPOSE
ton, Mr.. Smith made it his bust
ness to abstain from voting. The
gentleman from South Carolina did
not even have the courage of his
reactionary convictions.
For Child Labor.
But in the Sixty-F Fourth Congress
Senator Smith picked up sufficient
courage to come out openly as an
enemy of the working masses. On
August 8, 1916, the South Carolina
solon, speaking on behalf of the
textile magnates whom he served in
Washington, spoke and voted against
the Federal Child Labor Bill
In the next Congress Mr.. Smith
fought against bill providing for
an appropriation to help run the
Employment Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor. When the war " as
on in full swing and q motion was
made in the Senate to strike OFT
the work or Fight" amendment
from the draft bill, Mr.. Smith did
not take position.
At the close Of 1918 bill was
presented to the Senate to tax those
products in interstate commerce
which were produced by child labor
The Honorable Smith again came up
to the scratch as loyal servant
Of the Southern textile interests and
made vigorous fight against the
enactment even Of this half-hearted
attempt at limiting the employment
Of chilren.
Against Woman Suffrage.
When the bill TO give the vote to
women was presented to the Goth
Congress, on June a, 1919, Mr..
Smith did his level best to defeat
the measure.

Diversified Hardships

The wealthy bankers and big manufacturers
have been vieing with each other in the lavish
ness of their generosity towards the poor far
rners. One of their best bets for getting the
farmer out of the hole in which they have put
him is diversified" farming ------
Gallons of ink have spilled advising the
wheat farmer to milk cows when he loses on
his wheat. Acres of newsprint paper have
been stuffed with propaganda to encourage
the farmer to engage in diversified produc-
ton.
A dirt farmer writing in the Nebraska Daily
Press has blasted this propaganda in the most
effective manner that has yet come to our at
tention. Every farmer and worker should clip
his answer which we reproduce, paste this
item in his hat and throw it into the teeth of
the first advocate of the panacea of diversified
farming that meets him.
Everybody's advising the farmer to raise
dairy cows-to engage in diversified farming.
Evidently the Town Farmers, the press
sometimes calls them, think manicures
and messages herself, miks herself and deli
vers the product to the creamery without pro-
fame urging.

are trying to tell us how to conduct COW

Perhaps Messrs. Coolidge and Hoover and
their agents in the Farm Bureau Federation
would do well to get glimpse, in practice, of
this great remedy of theirs-diversifed farm
ing.

a chance and the little bunny was
deposited in the box occupied by
the cat and her offspring.
At first the mother cat did not
seem to relish the intrusion, but
soon began to manifest friendli-
ness, and 1t was not very long be-
fore the little waif was plainly
