ORIGINAL FRESH AIR FIENDs

From the Louisville Courler-Journal.
Capt James Leslie of the British
steamer Earl of Elgin, who Is Doubt
less as honest a skipper as ever walked
the bridge, says that clothing Is not
a necessity. and proves his assertion
by reference to the Yahgans who live
at the Straits of Magellan.
Captain Leslies story, shorn of its ap-
propriate establishment of the lam
guage of the "wine-dark deep" is as
follows:
The ship was in the midst of ice
bergs when two natives father and
son. padded out in a canoe. Tho father
wore simple belt and the sol, was
attired in the remains of coat.
Feeling certain the lad was freez-
ing, the captain had him wrapped in n
blanket and sent to the galley to get
warm. The boy speedily became weak
and tainted. The father. seeing his sons
plight, rushed forward, seized him and
threw him overheard into tile icy wa
ters.
"rhe boy Immediately revived and
climbed into the canoe, where he
laughed merrily as he caught ships
biscuits tossed by members Of the
crew."
The brief plunge of fhe all-the-year
bathers into the surf at Atlantic city
in January Is followed by warming
up run for the bathhouse. rundown
and warm, dry clothes. The yangans
seem to require none of the typical
fresh air and told water fiend's precau-
tions, but can ride out a gale in an
open canoe after plunge into an ant
arctic sea.
But as the skipper of the Earl OF
E1gin adds that the Yahgans are fast
diminishing race, and only 200 survive
there will be those who will be Of the
opinion that If they had worn over
Fcoats and rubber shoes and tubbed in
warm water perhaps they would have
been conquering race inst cad of a
vanishing one.

The Right Spirit

In no city, perhaps, is there better
feeling among religious denomina-
tions than in Birmingham. New evil
dence of this fact has been impressive
ly demonstrated within the past 10
days when the Southside Baptist
church was the host in it's handsome
edifice to Temple Emanu-El congre-
cation, whose imposing place of
worship recently erected was not quite
ready for occupation. Several Christ
ian churches rendered their places of
worship to their Jewish neighbors for
the annual holiday services; but the
Southside Baptist suited best, and its
offer was gratefully accepted by
Rabbi M. Newfield in behalf of his
people.
When Temple Emanuel congrega-
ton had services in the old building
on Fifth avenue there was always a
1raternal bond between the rabbi and
the pastors of Christian churches. On
one occasion a Christian congregation
held services temporarily in Temple
Emanuel.
The time when all religious people
will come together in anything ap-
preaching organic union is very far
away in the future. There may never
be uniformity even among Christians,
but The spirit of liberation and the
neighborly relations between Jew and
Gentle existing in Birmingham GER
tainly make for higher citizenship
and more beautiful life.

RANK sOPHIsTRY

From the Tuscaloosa News
The rankest sophistry that we have re-
Gently had occasion to read is the attack
made upon Oscar Underwood by Capt.
r. P. Hobson In a speech delivered at
Wetumpka few days ago.
Captain Hobson accuses Mr.. Underwood
of being tool of the liquor interests and
of Wall street Yet, in almost the next
breath, he declares that in entering the
race for the Senate, Mr.. Underwood is
forsa<ing a post of duty in the House.
He says that the country needs Under
ways and means committee more than
it needs him in the Senate.
If there exists more shining example
of intellectual inconsistency we have vet
to see it. According to Captain Hob
son, Mr.. Underwood is tool of the
liquor and the Wall street interests, and
is therefore unfit for seat in the Senate,
And still he ought to stay according to
Captain Hobson, in Congress as chair
man of the ways and means committee,
which is, next to the presidency the most
We cannot, nor do we believe that Cap
tain Hobson can, by any mental acrobatics
reconcile these two attitudes. If Mr. In
derwood were what Captain Hobson de-
clares him to be, he would be unfit to
hold any position of public trust much
less the chairmanship of the ways and
means committee, and if the captain were
the sincere friend of the people and of
right that he pretends to be, he would
urge Mr.. Underwood's retirement to pri-
vate life, If Mr.. Underwood is not what
Mr.. Hobson pictures him as being-and
for our own part we feel thoroughly sat-
isfied of his integrity-then it is an insult
to intelligence and to decent politics for
the congressman from the Sixth to con-
tinue his present course of vituperation.
In its last analysis, the Hobson atti-
tude, If We may judge by his own com
duct amounts to this: IT matters not
what man may be so long as he does
not interfere with the Hobson plan of
things; but the moment he opposes HIM
self to the Hobson idea that moment--no
matter how honest how patriotic he may
be-he becomes tool in the hands of the
forces of evil.

The Best State Fair

Birmingham State Fair, which
opened last Thursday and which will
continue until the end of the present
week, is generally conceded by those
who have attended to be the best in
the history of the Fair association. 1t
is certainly an excellent exhibit of
Alabama's resources, and the racing
and amusements in general are being
highly commended by those who like
clean sport and clean diversion.
Birmingham is crowded with visi-
tors, and the gate receipts of the fair
have been larger than usual on the
opening week. Showers will, lay the
dust, but the probability is that fair
weather will prevail during the next
few days.
The people of Birmingham should
show their appreciation by attending
in large numbers. 1t is hoped and be-
lieved that the total receipts will
make new high record and will as
sure even greater fair, if such be
possible, next year.

The state Fair

Although the amusement features at
the fair grounds are probably the most at
tractive ever seen there said a visitor
what interests me most is the states $
representative agricultural. industrial and
mineral displays. These are not mere
shows they stand for something solid; ;
they demonstrate the fact that Alabam-
ans are becoming more progressive every
year in developing and improving the
states resources.
''As see each prize winner l think of the
thousands of intelligent stoclzmen of Ala
bama. each agricultural exhibit brings to
mind our progressive farmers and thriv-
ing truckmen: each mechanical de-
vice shows the ingenuity and common
sense that is being brought to bear in
solving our Industrial problems; and each
mineral display calls forcibly D mind the
titanic work that is being done by the
miners and artisans of this district in
developing the once hidden treasures of
the state"

SCOTTS VACATION
From Charles S. Olcott's "The Country
CT yUaltar Soott

From Charles S. Olcotts 'The Country
of Sir Walter Scott"
Scott had some strange ways of seek
ing relaxation from the strain of work.
on Christmas day, 1914, he wrote Con-
stable that he was setting out for ABB
botsford to refresh the machine Dur
ing the year he had written his first
great novel, "Waverly," one of mis-
longer poems, "The Lord of the isles"

nering. In the same way, while die
tating "Ivanhoe," in spite of severe
bodily pain which prevented the use
of his pen, he sought refreshinent by
starting another novel, 'The Monas-
terry"
"It was relief" he said, ''to iflteriay
the scenery most familiar to me with
the strange world for which I Lad to

Underwood the Next Senator

The race for the United States SEN
atorship being between Richmond
Peason Hobson and Oscar w. Under
wood, it does not take much of a
prophet to see that Mr.. Underwood
will be elected.
Congressman Henry D. Clayton
was an announced candidate; but it
was generally felt in political circles
that when the time came he would
withdraw from the contest and elect
to remain in the House of Representa-
tives, where he occupies most i'm
portant position as chairman of the
judiciary.
Mr.. Underwood having completed
his great tariff revision work can
now be spared from the House. A man
of his constructive craftsmanship is
needed in the Senate. Mr.. Underwood
is a great national figure; and like
the late John G. Carlisle, who went
from the speakership to seat in, the
Senate and became distinct force in
the upper house from the start, I'm
derwood, with his national prestige,
will be recognized at once as a sena-
torial leader. In the regular session of
Congress many questions of vital i'm
portance will be referred to the judi
ciary committee. President Wilson is
especially desirous of having Mr..
Clayton continue chairman of that
committee; and in his felicitous
and flattering letter to the Albanian
representing the Third district, setting
forth his views and, in effect, begging
him to remain in the House, he SIM
plifies the senatorial situation and
practically assures Underwood's cleo
tion.
The democracy of the whole coun-
try has it's eye on Underwood. His de-
feat would be regarded as a national
shame and as something of repudia-
tion by his own people of the revised
tariff. 1t would certainly be slam on
Alabama; for it would show clearly
that the people of this state do not
appreciate her greatest son-a man
who is acclaimed by the country at
large as one of the greatest statesmen
the United States has produced since
the civil war. But there is every in.
dication that Underwood will not only
be elected senator, but that his ma
iority will be overwhelming.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-10-12
Very Important Events

Three important meetings will be
held in Alabama within the next few
weeks-the Southern Commercial
congress, at Mobile; the Alabama
Land congress, in Birmingham; and
the Alabama Good Roads associa-
ton in Mobile. President Wilson will
attend the Southern Commercial con-
gress, and discussion on large lines
will be in order there. The Panama
canal will be the chief theme at the
Southern Commercial congress, and
many speeches will be directed to the
canal and its relation to Mobile.
But of very far-reaching effect will
be the meeting in Birmingham of the
Land congress shortly after the South
ern Commercial congress at Mobile.
The presidents of the principal rail-
road lines traversing the south will be
at the meeting early in November
November A, and 6-and other prom
inent men will be on hand to take
part. Among them will be Oscar W.
Underwood. What Alabama has long
needed is the active cooperation of
all the interests in the state. In ad-
dition to the set speeches at the Land
congress general discussion bearing
on this states resources will take
place. Without doubt the Land con-
gress will be one of the greatest
events in the history of Alabama.
The Good Roads association at Mo-
bile will come later, and it promises
to be Of very decided consequence.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Hobson Losing Ground

Since Mr.. Underwood is an announced
candidate for the United States Senate
and since Mr.. Clayton is to withdraw.
the ground is fast slipping from under
Congressman Hobson. who has been cam
paigning for the senatorship for some
time past" said an old politician.
Mr.. Underwood is a great big man
recognized as one of the greatest states
men the .south has ever had-and it
would be surprising indeed if he were not
honored with the senatorshp. l have
several frieQds who had intended voting
FOR Hobson, They were prohibitionlsts
when Brooks Lawrence was potent fac
tor in politics, but as this is not pro-
hibitlon fight, they have decided to vote
for Underwood rather than Hobson. One
of the most significant things that has
happened is the Union Springs Herald
coming out for Underwood. The Herald
Is an influential paper. 1t has been lined
up strongly with the prohibtionists, but
in the Forthcoming senatorial contest it
comes out squarely for Alabamas great
statesman 1t concludes recent article
thus:
A man who has done for the south
and for the country what Underwood has
done in the House, will surely be a credit
to his state in the Senate Mr.. Under
wood is a tireless and ceaseless worker.
He sticks to his job and there is every
reason to believe that he will do more
for the state than any other candidate
There will be other prohibition papers
supporting Underwood. When election
day draws near Hobson will be seen to
lead forlorn hope. One of his friends
tells me that Hobson's great strength
was in the rural district; but my observa-
tion has been that my country friends
are as wise and thoughtful as city folks.
They know what Underwood has done
They will stand by him.

sober distinction, continues to lose ground
In Massachusetts, sometimes regarded as
the superior of other commemorative in
decorum, the same trend is shown. Hith-
erto in that section Of our country 1t has
been customary for counsel at murder
trials to express the seriousness of such
occasions through silk hats and frock
coats. Issues of life and death have
seemed too important for decision in sack
coats and derbies; but at a coming trial

Grent for Alabama

The mere bringing of six railroad presi-
respective Immigration departments to the
Land congress, which meets in Birming-
ham early in November, will OF itself be
a great achievement but when the OBJ
ject of their coming is understood it
should be of the deepest interest to all
our citizens said a prominent real estate
man yesterday.
These railroad officials are coming for
business not for jaunt' or for fun. They
have been induced to come by the man
sgement of the Land congress in order
to aid in bringing more settlers TO Ala
bama, and yet but few of our leading eiti-
zens seem to be awake to the Importance
of the occasion. or interesting themselves
in this event, which means more for the
state than anything that has occurred
since the civil war.
1T was the railroad that made the great
west and northwest what it is today. 1t
is the railroad that is taking American
citizens away into Canada in thousands
each year, and 1t is the railroad that must
be relied upon to bring a good class of
settlers for the idle acres of Alabama.
The fact that these big men in the rail-
read world are coming to Birmingham, to
confer and inaugurate ways and means
for getting these results should awaken
the keenest interest among all our citi-
zens. The whole state outside of Bir-
mingham is awake to the Importance of
the movement delegations being named
from every county in the state and from
every live commercial organization. This
movement will be great for Alabama. and
nothing should be allowed to overshadow
it,"

Trade Fairly Active

General trade was brisk throughout
the summer, and while there was lull
in the early fall, the volume of busi-
ness is now very good said S. r. Sharon
of Chicago. '"rhe railroads are over
taxed in hauling the crops; and as the
farmers are getting well paid for every
thing they raise, prosperity is sure to re-
suit.
THE south is particularly fortunate
this year in having large crops. While
the cotton crop is not a record breaker,
the price will more than make up for
quantity, and the money which the south
will receive for it's crop this year will be
larger than ever before"
