Politics Galore Next Year

The state democratic committee is to meet on December 20, and from that time on until election day in the November fol- lowing there will be no end to poli- tics in this state and in the country as a whole. The thoughts of men in this state seem to turn to politics. Possibly admiration for Oscar Under woods noble career induces this, and once started it covers all offices in sight. Candidates are mentioned freely for the office of governor, al- though that office is not to be filled until November, 1914.
 The increasing belief that the two- thirds rule will deadlock the national convention, and that all the delegates will in that event turn to Oscar Un- derwood, the man without flaw or fault, is filling this state full of pol itics. Alabama has never placed a man in the White House. Tennessee, on the other hand, has had three Presidents. Alabama's opportunity seems sure to come in 1912.
 In this connection The Age-Herald desires to call every mans attention to the fact that only 50 days remain in which to pay poll taxes-in which to become qualified voters in 1912, the year of Alabama's opportunity. No man can participate in the stir ring events of the coming year un- less on or before February l he pays the poll taxes assessed against him. Do not forget this, and the best way to remember this is to go to the courthouse and get your own poll tax receipt.
 No citizen with a particle of am- bition or patriotism in his soul will let a small fee devoted to school purposes stand in his way in great political year.

From the Florida Times Union.
 MT Underwood comes out squarely against the initiative, the referendum and the recall. He takes the same view of the subject that the Times Union takes. But MT. Underwood is candidate for the presidency and while we would much rather he would represent our view than the opposite, we do not think it was necessary for him to have expressed any opinion on this subject at all.
 It is subject that we would like for the democratic party to let alone. It Is not party question. Individually num- Der of democrats and a number of re- pubiCans favor these measures, but the platforms of both parties are silent as to them. When MT. Bryan was candidate Tor President he declared that he was as much bound by the silence of the platform as by it's express declarations, meaning thereby to pledge himself to take no action on questions not mention ed in the platform If we place MT. Bryau's construction on silence we con- cude that the democratic party Is opposed to the initiative, the referendum and the recall.
 But we want to see a square fight next year between the democratic and repub- lican parties-not a fight between the re- publicans and new party We do not entirely agree with MT. Bryan's view of the value of silence. We think a man may be d good democrat though he fa- vors the initiative, referenduc and the re- call. He may be a good democrat if he believes Bacon wrote Shakespeare or even if he thinks Shakespeare wrote Bacon. This, however, has nothing to do with the democracy.
 We would not strongly object to the Bacon wrote Shakespeare or one who believes in the initiative, the referendum and the recall, provided he is also a good democrat. We would regret very much to see any man nominated who wished to substitute any of these matters for the principles of democracy. We do not entirely agree with MT. Bryan that the silence of the democratic plat form binds all democrats against the principles concerning which it is silent If he was right then the democratic party | ID cUIliUllleu dSdllSl Illc lllltldtlNt, Teler- endum and recall. But while we con- cede that man may favor these meas ures without ceasing to be a democrat, we think he is not an orthodox demo- crat if he would substitute these ideas fer those for which the democratic party has always fought or even if he magni- fies them so as to make democratic prin- ciples only secondary in importance

Raising the Level of the Warrior

The raising of Lock No. IT in the Warrior river at Squaw Shoals means a raising of the level of the river to the extent of 66 feet. The pool level will then overflow a great deal of land, and the Friel company is en- gagged in purchasing flowage rights on these lands, paying for such rights from $50 to $100 an acre. These rights are to be conveyed to the government, which will then be in position to begin the building of Lock No. IT.
 The raising of Lock No. IT to the height of 66 feet not only means the creation of very considerable lake abreast of and about 15 miles as a bird flies from this city, but it means a wide extension of slackwater navi- gation in both forks of the Warrior and in Valley river to Toadvine, which is about 10 miles from Wylam or Bessemer.
 In other words, slackwater navi- gation will be extended to point close to the city by the building of Lock No. IT, and a further extension of it, or else an independent rail line to Toadvine will become needful to
 ,e fullest prosperity of this city. tIitaer would give this city water rates as low as Memphis enjoys.
 Ihe subject is one of great impor- tare and it promises to become one
 deepest interest as soon as Lock Sp. v is completed in the next year or IS months.

INDIRECTION

By Richard Realf Fair are flowers and the children, but
 their subtle suggestion is fairer; Rare is the roseburst of dawn, but the
 secret that clasps it is rarer; Sweet the exultance of song, but the
 strain that precedes it is sweeter, And never was poem yet writ but the
 meaning outmastered the meter. Never a daisy that grows but mystery
 guideth the growing; Never river that flows but majesty
 sceptres the flowing; Never Shakespeare that scared but a
 stronger than he did enfold him; Nor ever prophet foretells but might
 fer seer hath foretold him. Back of the canvas that throbs the
 painter is hinted and hidden; Into the statue that breathes the soul of
 of the sculptor is hidden; Under the joy that is felt lie the infinite
 issues of feeling; Browning the glory revealed is the glory
 that crowns the revealing. Great arc the symbols of being. but that
 which is symboled is greater; Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the
 inward cerator; Back of the sound broods the silence, bacl,
 of the gift stands the giving, Back of the hand that receives thrill the
 sensitive nerves of receiving. Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed is
 outdone by the doing; ,sfr The heart of the wooer is warm, but
 warmer the heart of the wooing; And up from the pits where those shiver,
 and up from the heights where those
 shine, s TW fr Twin voices and shadows swim starward
 and the essence of life Is divine.

OSCAR w, UNDERWOOD

frOm the NeW GOSt.
 The democrats of Alabama are not only within their rights in presenting Oscar W. Underwood as a candidate for President, but they can do so with good logic and an appeal to the sentiment that the war is over and the south just as much a part of the union in its new development as any other section of the country. MT. Underwood rep resents the new south in sentiment and in environment. He was born after the Civil war had had its beginning, in old Kentucky, and as a young man he took up his home in BirminghaIE, which perhaps peter typitles the new south than any other city or commun- ity.
 When the Civil war closed, there was a ruined and abandoned cotton planta- tion where now centers the greatest industrial development of the south President Harrison no doubt had that development in mind when in his in augural address he said: Mill fires were lighted at the funeral pile of slav- cry. The emancipation proclamation was heard in the depths of the earth as we'll as in the sky; men were made free, and material things became our better servants
 What place more appropriate for the home of a candidate for President of sensible and sane democratic party, tired of the old slogan that protection is a fraud and unconstitution, than Birmingham, which has risen absolute 1y a new creation and which shines brilliantly among the southern cities by the mill fires lighted at the funeral pile of slavery? The old abandoned cot ton plantations which were left as a the riches from the depths of the earth taken the place as the center of popula- tion and tindustrial development in Alabama. There is no place in all this country where there has been such a complete revolution in industry and sentiment as here, where the emancipa- ton proclamation was heard in the depths of the earth and material things became the better servants of the peo- pie.
 MT. Underwood has the proper en-
 
 the presidency. His work as a public servant Is in harmony with his en- vironment. He looks at the tariff through eyes that have become accus- toned to the new light of industrial development, and has directed his eff forts toward tariff reduction without utterly abandoning the policy of tariff that will give incidental protection MT. Underwood has also shown that he is a capable and conservative leader in the House, and he has more recently given evidence of conservative democracy in expressing his opposition to the popu- listic vagaries of initiative, referendum, and recall which some democratic lead CTS have recklessly seized upon as a good enough Morgan for campaign of opposition to the present administra- ton. Let Alabama continue to claim d place on the national stage and keep Oscar Underwood there as a safe and sane democrat, representing the new south in it's best and most brilliant development as well as the old south in ifs hest traditions,

ISSUE CLEARLY DEFINED

From the Chattanooga News.
 In the Hon. oscar Underwood's address in Birmingham at the banquet given in his honor he made an elaborate defense of representative government and argued against the systems of direct legislation which are now in operation in many states and are being proposed in others. This is in line with what might be expected of the Alabamian. All his tendencies are conservative. With such views no doubt he may be even more popular in the cen ters of wealth than Governor Harmon, who while never actively in favor of the initiative, the referendum and the recall, nevertheless has given sort of negative support to these measures. On the other hand we have Governor Wilson, who is proving a progressive in all respects The issue, apparently, will be as clearly de- fined in the democratic as in the repub- lican party.

FOR UNDERWOOD
From the Selma Times.

From the Selma Times
 There has been much said and more written about the mode of selecting and the instructions to be given to Ala bama's delegation in the coming nation al democratic convention.
 To the Selma Times all talk or planning for a second choice among the delegation would be the veriest folly and would be a confession at the outset that Alabama did not have hope of nominating or electing her favorite son. Hon. oscar Underwood, for President. To this paper there appeals strongly the belief that Alabama has never had such an opportunity to "get in the game" if you please to style 1t thus, as is now presented In the first place, sectional lines obliterated, this state presents to the democracy of the nation the very ablest, the most conspicuous for leadership, the fittest, the most statesmanlike candidate for the presi- dency of this great republic, that comes
 under the public's purview. He is a man endowed with an analytical mind possessed of the power of leadership and full of those qualities that go to make up great American. Because he | halls from a section which some 50 | years ago followed a cause that was ! lost, is not in these days of reunited country sufficient bar to eclipse his
 other great qualifications for the high
 est office in the gift of the American
 people.
 Then again what position it places
 Alabama in, to have such favorite
 son. That is if the partys leaders will
 rally around him and give to him the full support he deserves. Give to Un- derwood delegation bound to him ir sincerity and in truth, bound to him
 through recognition of his personal right for their allegiance and what a
 figure of prominences it would make | him in the coming national convention and in the nations counsels, whether he
 receives the high honor aspired to oi not.
 1 In other words the Selma Times be- lieves there should be sent to the ma. tional democratic convention an Under. l wood delegation In all the term signi- | lfies-Underwood if possible for the nominee, but Underwood as Alabama's
 foremost son, expressly backed by all oi l this people and with a confidence in his
 ability, integrity and worth not meas. ured by words or phrases, but by un. mistakable appreciation of the man as iworthy citizen. friend and neighbor.
