NEED FOR AUCTIONEER
GOOD MEN ALWAYS IN DEMAND
IN THAT LINE.
Needed Qualifications Are Many, but
the Profession IS One Well
Worth Following

The successful auCtioneer must have
many qualifications
TO right any wrong opinion. II one
might exist, regarding auctioneers. 1
will give a brief synopsis of my opln-
ion. same being founded upon many
years of past experience and from a
very careful study and a close obserya.
ton during that time. The auction bus.
mess no doubt has been greatly
abused. as have other professions by
the unfair, dishonorable, and unlawful
methods adopted by some so-called
auctioneers.
The auction business is a profession
and the qualifications necessary are
indeed numerous. To become success
tul, person must be good judge OF
values. also be able to give an intelli-
gent and elaborate description of the
thousands and thousands of different
articles. Good auctioneers are born,
not made; a person can learn to be a
doctor, lawyer, or a minister, but there
never were such advantages where q
person could go and learn to be an
auctioneer.
Then, furthermore. 1t is the only
profession wherein a person can dis
play whatever ability he may possess
In different respects and can intermin-
gle therein comedy II he sees ut.
There is not anything by which he
may refer to for reference and every
thought is extemporaneous and he
must guide himself accordingly.
Many fortunes have been made by
some auctioneers. yet We have at the
present time only handful of thor
oughly qualified auctioneers in and
throughout the United States. Looking
backward since the time OF slavery
when the negro was sold to the high
est bidder, we find many auctioneers
who were not only successful. but In
telligent and qualified. The auction
business is divided into many different
specialties. namely, live stock. high
class art and bric-a-brac, high class and
rare paintings, 1ewelry, real estate, au-
tomobiles, and books. Men who spe-
cialize on the above, that is making
any one OF them speciality, must be
qualified and are generally successful
Then we have men who make no spe-
cialty, but follow the line of general
auctioneering, those men sell furniture
and other second handed articles of
lesser value, and the qualifications nee.
essary in those lines are greatly lin
tied.
In foreign countries the most valu-
able jewels or rare paintings of some
of the greatest celebrities are sold un-
der the hammer, and those sales, like
many others, are attended by the very
best of people.
1t Is not only very interesting and
amusing to attend some auction sales
but there is where some goods have
been slaughtered and where some de-
cided bargains have been obtained. It
is indeed very strange that we have
such a few thoroughly qualified auc-
tioneers OF any prominence, but we do
know great many men have tried to
break in, but only to fall by the way

MAKE STRAIGHT FIGHT

Montgomery. March 23,-(speelal)-- Tn addition to Alabama we are eer- tain to carry for Oscar Underwood Georgia. Florida, Mississippi and North Carolina. We are preparing to extend our operations into South Carolina, where there Is already strong Under wood sentiment Virginia, West Vir- ginia and Maryland, with very strong prospects of placing these states on the assured list"
 Such Is the optimistic language oi pr. Thomas M. owen, director of the state department of archives and his- tory and secretary or the Underwood national campaign committee, who win leave Montgomery esrly tomorrow morning for Washington, where he will spend a few weeks at the Underwood headquarters. pr. owen is probably as closely in touch with the situation as any man in the country and his utter ances with reference to Underwood's c growth as presidential candidate are considered authoritative.
 With reference to Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and Mississippi pr. owen uOeS not leel lHe slightest uOuDt. .'I have been in daily communication with the Underwood headquarters at Washing ton," said pr. owen, and the reports that I have received, particu- lsrly with reference to these states, are to the effect that the majority leader ia developing great strength, not only through the south, but in the east and northwest, and I am more strongly con vinced than ever before that Under- wood will secure the oemocratic nom ination."
 When asked as to the plans of the Underwood campaign committee Dr. Owen said 1t was the intention of the committee to make a straight fight Tt is not our purpose to use dispara gtng methods said pr. Owen. We shall make a straight fight, representing to the people at large Underwoods merits and his. ability, without reference to other candidates in the field. The Un- derwood campaign cons-littee believes that these are the right methods 10 pursue. We are determined to make a strenuous fight, and we shall let his achievements speak for him. We con- slider that his works are sufficient to give him the nomination, regardless of sentiment, and regardless of our ad- nfiration for him as a leader and al a champion of the people.
 Dr. Owen will probably remain in Washington two or three weeks. as- sisting at the Underwood headquarters and he will spend much of his time In Washington between nc-y and the meet ing of the national democratic conven- ton.

AS TAe TURKS soWeo LONG AGO

The Italian government position in the Tripoli affair IS very naked. Little serious effort is made 10 hide the true nature of the raid upon Turkish territory The best and most that is said makes only q vague claim that the Turkish authorities in Tripoli have opposed Italian indus trial and commercial enterprises in that region. and that now. after Italy has declared It's intention to seize Tripoli. Italian subjects are not ss- cure there.
 This is very bald. IL does not mask the real nature Of the adven- ture in colony building upon which Italy has embarked Such explana- tions might as well be dispensed with and the whole enterprise placed upon broader ground. Italy might remind the world that the Turks have for centuries grossly misruled Tripoli. that they are still an alien element there. governing by force: that they have not earned respect for their legal rights as masters fin Tripoli and that it i'll becomes Turkey to protest on moral grounds. against the efforts of any civilized power to better the condition Of territory which the Turks themselves seized by force of arms which they do not occupy. and which | they govern by the strong arm.
