That boom which is destined to place Oscar W. Underwood at the head of the greatest nation on earth was not orisl- mated in Alabama. His is not the case of ''the favorite son." for although in the regard Of this state Mir. Underwood stands higher than any other man has ever stood it was not Alabama which nominated him for the presidency.
 In the early spring of 1911 Mir Under wood received an invitation to attend a | dinner to be given in his honor in the city of New York. The leader of the party thought when he accepted the in- vitation that the dinner to which he was ! invited would be a dinner-simply dn- ner
 He found himself. however, at ban quet.
 Instead of a dozen or more influential friends he found himself at the head of a table about which were seated a hum dred of the biggest men of New York. He was careful 10 conceal the wonder with which he was possessed. But the greater surprise was yet to come.
 The toastmaster stood upon his feet.
 nave tue hoIlof tonlSnt said ne to present to this gathering the next Pres ident of the United Statesl'
 For the first time Mir Underwood had heard his name mentioned in connection with the presidency.
 He was astounded. But he was not convinced.
 It was his impression that a pleasantly had been attempted, merely a compl- ment paid him. He smiled and was pleased.
 And then, even as he smiled. the ban aueters stood upon their feet-hurrahing. The great democrat was given an ovation.
 But he was not bereft of polse. He had not yet become aware of the fact that these friends had prepared his boom for the presidency.

 Her. first reason that the unwritten law of the sea is wrong is that man is a more valuable member of a community than q woman. When in Christendom did this come to be an accepted fact?
 Some men are valuable. and get tle credit for it all. but a good half of their value can be attributed to d brainy aud loving little woman at home The point is clear enough.
 This distinguished lady avows that she believes in looking at thing in cold. impartial light. which is evident
 Why should a man like Major Butt have to die with the Titanic to save an immigrant woman? this lady inauires. Let us suppose that a man like Major Butt should have used his superior r1anly strength and flung the woman aside to secure a place of safety in the lifeboat while other men of value to communities did likewise. A very noble conception Of proper manhood. to be sure.

 He was pressed.
 He demurred q am from the far south.e he said. "and it is claimed that there is an existing prejudice against q southerner aspiring to the office of pres ident'
 That prejudice stated his friends, exists onlX in the minds of southerners. The nation needs man, real man, and 1t matters not whether he halls from Maine or Wisconsin, or Colorado or Ala bama. The time has come when ability and fearlessness and honesty and devo- tion to duty make the man and not that section in which he first saw the light of day"
