our eyes wear veil, and blinded
We grope on the lower slopes;
we wake and we sleep, we work and
we weep
In the valley of Blighted Hopes.
You sing o. the MESA and prairie,
You sing Of hills ever green,
You sing of the land of freedom,
Where the Hand Of God Is Seen"
Then up from our Valley of Sorrow.
Tho weary and down and out,
We fling back a song, full-throated
and strong,
For the ears of you, Sunshine Scout.
You sing Of the hand of Jehovah.
You sing out there in the West:
We sing of His finger only.
Which down on our hearts is
pressed
He chasteneth whom He loveth.
And as We pass meath the rod.
We're given the brand that was for
us planned
In the mind of a righteous God.
You sing of the wide, free spaces,
Where always there's something
more;
You sing of the open places
But we of the fast closed door.
Tho never at all does it matter
What the theme of the song shall
be,
There is only one thing that we sing,
that we sing
Till the Giver of Song we see.
God what pity! Cigarettes, dime
novels, rum; this man is not, and
never was, bad at heart. Capt Jack

telling the family physician just what
their feelings are and where they are To-

the nomination, but we do know that
his worth and intrinsic character as
a democratic statesman constitute an
asset Of which the party should be
proud, and that he represents the
principles that the democratic party
must stand for it if it can hope to
win confidence of the country. Dem.
ocrats who are attracted by the

in Underwood a leader whom they
could follow without the risk of

THE JEFFERSONIAN

and his course as majority leader of
the present House of Representatives
has stamped him as a wise leader and
statesman Of honest purposes.
AS chairman of the ways and means
committee, under the new order, Mr.
underwood has been given great re-
spons1bllities-muc greater than
have heretofore ever attached to that
important office. Nearly all the
power which heretofore made the
speakership a great Office has been
transferred to the ways and means
committee. 1t was a power that
might have greatly injured the ma
J0rlty party in the House had it been
welded by less capable man. but
Underwood accomplished the task
OF organizing the House and secur-
ing greater harmony than any dem
ocratic speaker Of a generation has
been able TO do.
1t was freely predicted when the
democrats took over the control of
the House that they would disagree
over the tariff and split into factions,
but Underwood led with such skill
and formulated the tariff policy of
the party with such wisdom and
tact that he had at all times a united
majority behind him. 1t was the
first time since the war that the
party could boast even the semblence
Of harmony in it's treatment of SO
intricate problem as the tariff cues
ton.
1t is true Mr.. Underwood is
southern man, but that is no reason
why his claims should not be fairly
considered in all sections of the coun-
try He was born in Kentucky edu-
Gated at the University of Virginia
and since 1894 has served Alabama
and the country in the House Of Rep
resentatives, and no member of the
House Of either party has rendered
more Intelligent or more distinguish
ed service
Underwood is a man who combines
sound theories of government with
rare practical experience He is
trained to merge wholesome ideals
with practical common sense. He is
able, honest, clean hearted and clean
minded in all respects, and there is
no public station which he would not
adorn. The pride of Alabama in such
a favOrite son is cOmmendable in the
highest degree, and every democrat,
North Or South, ought to feel a pride
in the life and public service Of this
stalwart democrat.
We do not know that his candidacy

Der Capt. Jack: Remember me?
I'm t.. e fellow that came to you after
your preachment in the Sing Sing
Chapel on last Sunday morning, and
told you that you had done me good,
and that although we might not be
able to see the hand of God, as you
Old on your Western prairies, that
the finger of God was seen in this
place. When I got back TO my room
L used this thought as the basis of

OF course, does not convey anything

said on Sunday, many of the boys
were here because of dime novels

ago l came here, for killing a man.

One of those fashioned CONVEX
s1ons when the old life is left behind
IN night and the new life that lasts

The reason I'm in the cheering-up

world shines in my soul and no more
than typhoid carrier can help
spreading it's affection wherever he
ne goes, can I help carrying the in
Election of good cheer and the news
OF salvation to those with whom
come into contact.
The talk was good and I liked it
Immensely, and, as L told you then,
1 got lot of good from it. But from
what l have learned of the men in
prlson-and you must agree with me
my opportunity for observation has
been wide more than nine thousand
men have entered these walls since
l was admitted) there is one thing
above all they need, and that is the
new birth; a veritable turning up
side-down, inside-out and topside to-
termost. There is only one thing
that can give them this; there is only
one thing that can give it to any man
IN or out of prison, namely; the
Spirit Of the Lord Jesus Christ When
you come back, as you promised to do
won't you sound this note? If you
had ever been down to the depths
OF sin in a big city, as l have, and
been brought out Of the miro CT that
sin and set upon the Rock so that
your feet knew secure place after
many years Of insecurity, as some of
the men here have, and as all of them
may, you would see the value of this.
Perhaps you do see it. Will you help
those who do not, to catch something
of the same vision?
However let me say once more, l
