Mississippi's Primary

To the friends of Oscar Underwood two primaries of deep interest Will soon take place-that of Georgia on May 1 and that of Mississippi on May T. Both are state wide presidential preference primaries.
 The democratic state executive com mittee of Mississippi was not obll- gated to call primary, but it did. It needed the request of the legislature, rather than existing law which pro vides for state convention. There will be convention, however, but It will be a formality only. The presi- dential delegates will be instructed by it to support the choice of the democ- racy of the state for President.
 The friends of Oscar Underwood in both Georgia and Mississippi are ac- tive. and the belief is that Alabama's great leader will carry by overwhelm- ing votes both states.

A Large Auditorium Needed

Atlanta, with it's great auditorium, is having a grand opera festival this week, and the only thing that has prevented Birmingham having a week of grand opera is the lack of a suitable building" said a member of the Chamber of Com merce.
 Tt is reasonable to think that in this year of vast building operations here movement for erecting an auditorium with a seating capacity of 5000 or 10000 would be started. Atlanta's enterprise in bring ing the Metropolitan opera house com pany of New York to the Georgia me- tropolis has been wonderfully successful in drawing crowds from all parts of the south No amusement venture has ever paid Atlanta so well as grand opera, and week of grand opera would pay in Bir- mingham. A large guarantee fund would have to be raised, but the probability is there would be surplus instead of de- l felt
 An adequate auditorium could be built for less than s10O,Oo0; probably s65,00o or $7o00O would do. Size, rather than ex- pensive interior finish or decoration, is what is needed.
 Tn the meantime Birmingham will have this year the best symphony festival in the south. The initial performance will be on Friday afternoon, May 3. There will be four performances in all. Since | the music festival is an established insti- | tuition of Birmingham. 1t should be kept up even after the time has come for
 holding grand opera festival. The Metropolitan Opera House company is available only in the spring. The public
 spirited citizens of Birmingham should
 begin to plan soon for an auditorium and
 to arrange for an opera festival in the spring of 191S It might be well to trans
 fer the music festival to the early fall.
 We could then have two musical attrac-
 tions during the year which would draw
 crowd of visitors"

Compulsory Education

The Women and Children's Safety association of the south held its fifth annual meeting in Chattanooga this week. It adopted resolutions favorlng compulsory educational laws as the best solution of child labor problems. Miss Jeane Gordon of New Orleans IS nresident of the association, and she IS well and favorably known in all parts of the south.
 The next meeting of the association is to be held in Meridian, where steps will be taken to lay plans for compul- sory education before every southern state.
 The south is a laggard in this re- spect. This is plainly due, not to an annreciation of its advantages, but to the lack of schoolhouses and the meagerness of school appropriations. The appropriation in Alabama would have to be divided in case compulsory education were adopted. In the long run it will be, but like all other re- forms the approach to it may be slow and difficult.

DYING LIKE GENTLEMEN

From the St. Louis Republic.
 Across the deep, through the darkness of night of horror such as seas have rare ly known. there yet shines one comfort ing ray. and against the background Of wreck and gloom 1t brightens picture of noble sacrifice of the stronger for the weaker. When the sea gives up it's dead there may rise among the glowing forms of its heroes those gallant hundreds of the lost Titanic who doomed themselves to spare the women and children.
 There were 143 women and children in the first cabin, ST in the second and in the third many more whose number is not yet given. Almost the first flash of the wireless operator announced: Nearly all saved are women and children" So it must be that most of the saved, more thar 600 in number. were women of the third cabin. The strong men of the Ti- tanic, officers, crew and passengers, were in that hour gentlemen after Gods own heart.
 Strength only reaches it's sublimity in sacrifice. Sacrifice reaches it's sublimity when it is done for a principle, a senti- ment. an ideal. It is easy to die for a loved one. But the brave gentlemen who relinquished their loves, their wives and their little ones, their all, to stand back and die for the nameless women of the steerage, and the noble men of the steer age who helped the ladies of the first and second class into the lifeboats-these men stayed and died together for pure gal lantry.
 Yet how simple Is the truest heroismi How easy was the choice--of what mo- ment the matter of life and death ?-to men ingrained with the highest traditions of the race and of true manhood the world over
 What a measure of men is honor, and how the very best in mans nature rises to its example or responds to it's demands {. The instinct of true bravery is leveler. Puny distinctions fade in the face of great deeds and at the call of death
 Among the heroes lying on the bottom of the ocean at 41:16 north, 50:14 west. who would venture to distinguish the so- called aristocrat from his neighbors in the same grave. the grimy stoker, the brave steward or the rough clad gentle man of the steerage?
 For in choosing to die like rats together to save the women and children, they all died as the uoblest of the human race

ILLITERAcY IN FOREIGN ARMIES

From the London Globe.
 The returns showing the educational attachments in the Swiss army are less pleasing than those of Germany, the
 lliterates in the land of philosophy be- ing only .02 per cent. In Switzerland a little more than l per 1000 read with such difficulty that they could not com prehend what they had read. Still this is better than investigations made in France show The Temps concludes that the insufficiently instructed amounted to 16.5 per cent and the illiterates are S6, or roughly we have 25 per cent of the French army illiterate. But on the other hand SIP per cent held diplomas or certificates and those whose instruction was consid- cred sufficient amounted to 32.7 per cent.

Fifteen Millions of Voters

The bureau of statistics estimates that 15,000,0 ,000 of persons will vote In November. There are at least 18,OO0,- 900 of the voting age in the country, but not over 15,000,000 of them will be apt to go to the polls. Four years ago Alabama contributed 100,809 votes to the total record, but Alabama is a state in which non-voting is promoted to the utmost. To the ne- groes who cannot vote are added 100,- 900 whites who have not paid comu- lative road taxes. These things cut down the Alabama vote to about 1O0,- 900, with a constant tendency to go still lower. This state cannot afford to disfranchise it's young men, and the time is fast coming when the unneces- sary cumulative feature of the road tax will be changed.
 After this year the votes of women will increase the grand total. In six states women now vote, and they may vote in seven more after November. This will greatly increase the voting strength. The army of equal suffrage really expect to double the popular vote.
 As things stand about one-sixth of the people rule this country

Bill of Lading Reform Hung Up

The bill of lading question is pend- ing before the Senate committee on interstate commerce, and an effort IS being made to secure action on 1t. Even the Clapp bill would be better than no bill at all. That bill discrim- mates between the straight bill of ladingo and the "order bill of lading," and prescribed the language that is to be used on the face of the order bill and the conditions under which such bills shall be issued. The idea is to make the order bill of lading safe type of collateral security at banks, and thereby to protect such banks in making loans to customers who have shipped goods and who want to pre- sent these bills of lading as the basis of credit. 1t is because of the serious responsibility and as they consider it onerous duty laid upon them that the railroad people are unwilling to accept the change in the bill of lading sys- tenn which is thus proposed and object to the enactment of the legislation de- manded by the bankers.
 The so-called Clark measure is also pending. This merely provides some severe penalties for altering, forging or improperly using bills of lading. The effect of enacting it would be to keep the existing system in operation, and merely to add to it rather more severe punishment than now exists for those persons who use bills of lading in a dishonest or fraudulent manner This might reduce the number of cases in which banks were defrauded, but it would not give the banks the legal right to recover their losses, which they would have if the new legislation were adopted.
 No action has been taken as yet, al though the bankers are urging it, and it seems probable that the committee will yet decide between the Clapp bill and the Clark amendment. Still noth- ing will be done at this session unless indeed strong sentiment is expressed
