MIR. Underwood's Vote

Congressman Underwood of
Alabama, has received the en-
dorsements.of only four states as
their choice for president, Ala
bama. Georgia, florida and Mis-
sissippi. Mr. Underwood was en-
dorsed as southern man and be-
cause the people believed that he
was entirely southern in his SYM
pathies and political alignments.
Upon the heels of these endorse
ments, Mr. Underwood, as the lead
er of the democratic majority in
congress, supported the Bristow
amendment to the resolution to
change the Constitution of the
United States directing the cleo
ton of United States senators by
a direct vote Of the people. The
Bristow amendment places the SUI
pervision of election of United
States senator's under the super
vision of the Federal government.
Oscar Underwood spent his
boyhood in Minnesota. His father
was Union soldier during the
civil war. Mr. Underwood came
to Birmingham in 1884 and be-
came interested in the steel indus
try there. He has prospered and
is reputed to be a rich man.
In voting for the amendment,
Mr. Underwood doubtless was
playing the part of the politician
who realizes that the votes of ev-
cry section count in convention.
The southern states that are al
ready tied to him by instructions
will cast their votes for him at
Baltimore. This was an obliga-
ton which they placed on them
selves before Mr. Underwood S vote
in the House. If these states
I, were to act again the result might
be different. --Tupelo Journal.

A Sign Of The Times.

The Chicago Record Herald is
advising young men to study prac-
teal agriculture, says that young
men who have completed the
course of study prescribed in the
University of Wisconsins College of
Agriculture are in demand at good
salaries, according to statistics of
the college. When the university
closed in 1911 the demand for ag-
ricultural graduates could not be
supplied and all the members of
the years class had found places
at salaraies ranging from 5000 to
81, OOOa year. Places that would
have paid $3.50, 900 in salaries
could not be filled because lack of
qualified men.
This showing is an indication of
the change that is coming gener-
ally in agricultural methods. Rule
Of thumb, hap-hazard methods
will not do on the farm farm any
more than in the well managed
factory. There must be truly sci
enti6c farming, the combination of
sound principles with the results of
experience. Evidently the owners
of farms see the change at hand
and are eager to avail themselves
of the knowledge possessed by the
Wisconsin graduates.
Attendance in the agricultural
schools should be increased as a
result of this demand. The stu
dent of agriculture has brighter
prospect ahead of him than any
other professional student and his
work will benefit the world-Clar-
ion Ledger.

Direct Election OF Senators

The Legislature of the State of
Massachusetts, yesterday concluded
by unanimous vote in the Senate
the final ratification of the United
States constitutional amendment
to secure the direct election by
popular vote of United States SEN
ators. There is little question
that other states, which have held
off on one pretext or another, will
follow the example of Massachu-
sets and the seventeenth amend
ment will become a reality. The
sixteenth will be the income tax.
There was a time when all such
increases of Federal power were
resisted because they were con-
sidered attacks On states rights,
and the South went to war to
maintain its devotion to those
rights, but that time is long past,
and the evolution of a republic,
made up of sovereign states, into
a powerful consolidated nation is
going on at a rapid rate, and any
question of states rights arouses
no public interest whatever

Thirty-Five Murders.

Clementine Barnabet, "half- blood"
negress told q story in Lafayette, La,
yesterday that the police authorities
say they accept as clearing the mys-
terry yelling the killing of twenty ne
groes in southwest Louisiana, and
which it is said, gave clues that will
fix the guilt for Is other night assass-
nations Of blacks in Louisiana and
Texas.
From Clementine's story it appears
she led a mysterious negro cult, the
members of which performed the
rights of "human sacrifice" The
negress declared she killed seventeen
of the victims with her own hands.
The murders have been committed
in the last year.
Most of the 35 assassinations have
been accomplished in the killing Of
families Of three and four members
ut one time. In every instance the
murder was committed at night.
The mysterious series of killings
instilled terror in the breast of every
negro in South Louisiana and South
Texas. In many communities blacks
would not stir from their homes at
night and doors Of negroes cabins,
that never before had known a knock
were barred.
