Attempt at Rehabilitation

Desperate efforts are being made by
stand-pat leaders to rehabilitate the
republican party and infuse new life
into the carcass of the elephant which
received a deadly blow at Chicago in
1912. The latest move is the recon-
mendation of the national congress
sional campaign committee which will
be submitted to the national execu-
tive committee that the method of
representation at national conventions
be changed. 1t would fully recognize
the primary laws of the various states
and consummate other reforms.
These same leaders have seen
great light since the election of the
past year. When Mr.. Taft was being
rammed down the throats of the party
by the so-called bosses the state pri-
mary laws were evaded wherever pos
sible. There was great horror at the
bare mention of the reduction of rep
resentation from the southern states
even though, as was stated in one
case, it required nearly every repub-
lican in the state, white and black, to
act as delegates and alternates to the
convention.
But since that time there has been
q great change. Since the democratic
victories of November, 1872. these
leaders have received glimmering of
light. With the thought of 1916 in
their minds they are willing to
stomach much at which they would
have revolted in the near past.
+ All those things suggested by the
congressional campaign committee are
reforms, needed reforms; but the trou-
BILE with the republican party is deep
er, more fundamental The American
people have become tired of being
robbed under protective tariff in the
name Of the protection of home indus
tries; and the sooner the leaders of
the republican party recognize this
and act accordingly, the easier will be
their task.

PROSPERITY OF THE SOUTH

From Harper's Weekly.
"The best year since the war" is a COM
mon expression in the Atlantic and gulf
states. The tobacco farmers of Virginia
and North Carolina are getting top
prices for leaf tobacco, thanks to the real
competition, in spite of common owner

of the dissolved Tobacco trust. The
drouth in Texas and Oklahoma cut
short the Texas cotton crop a million
bales and lifted the price of cotton. In
Georgia, 100000 bales were produced
this year, which means, at 800 pounds to
the bale. at the price of IA cents pound,
$40 a bale, with so added for the cotton
seed, from which is made the poor mans
butter and the rich mans salad oil-$2O0.
O0O000 for Georgia's cotton crop; $1,12O.0O0,-

duces this year. The banks in the cot

than ever before. The cotton factories

The Underwood Campaign

Forney Johnston, chairman of the
Underwood state executive committee,
aided by tried and true democrats of
political experience, will be able soon
to report thorough and compact or
ganization in every part of Alabama.
A great party leader of absolutely
clean record and high-minded pur-
pose, such as Mr.. Underwood is,
should be elected United States SEN
ator by an overwhelming majority
But there must be tireless and we'll
directed work from now on.
Mr.. Underwood's opponent, not
withstanding his poor record in the
House of Representatives, has an ag-
gressive following. There are many
fanatics in Alabama who care little
for the democratic party, and all of
them will work hard for their candi-
date, Mr. Hobson. But the large ma
jority of the voters in this state are
intelligent. thinking, loyal democrats.
And it is this class that is giving Mr..
Underwood its enthusiastic support.
Still, there must be no tagging in the
Underwood campaign activities.
There is not state in the union
that would not be proud to have among
its sons statesman of Mr.. Under
woods capacity. achievement and
prestige. Few states at the present
time can claim democratic leader of
conspicuous ability for public service
in the halls of national legislation
Those states that have men of brains
and character recognize their worth
and honor them with high office.
Not in many years has senatorial
contest attracted the attention of the
people of this country that this race
between Underwood and Hobson is
attracting. The leading newspapers
are having much to say about the Ala
bama senatorship, and the opinion is
very generally expressed that Under
woods defeat would be serious blow
to Alabama; but such blow will not
be permitted to fall. The thing to
strive for now is a full vote and q
majority for Mr. Underwood that will
say to the world that Alabama demo
Gratis are neither unappreciative Of
signal merit nor unmindful of theil
duty.

Northern Mans Observation.

While the west as a rule was blessed
with good crops this year, the south, not
only the cotton south, but all the rest.
is more prosperous just now than famed
grain growing sections" said Benjamin
w. Ardle of Chicago
The south's exceptional prosperity is
accounted by large crops and high prices
which the farmers received for their
crops This notably the case in the cot
ton producing states. Ten years ago the
south seemed fairly. prosperous, out 1t
was poor compared with the thrift of to-
day Alabama probably leads this year
from an agricultural point of view.

vided political radicalism is not again in

tiles are placed at decided disadyan-
tage when it comes to development, re-

principal arguments of the opponents
Of federal aid for the building of
roads. It has been argued that should
the government appropriate large
sums of money it would give rise to
another "pork barrel" The answer to
this is the merit system.
When the federal government de-
eides. to participate with the states in
the building of a series of national
trunk highways it will be absolutely
necessary to invoke the merit system.
And it will be done.
However, Mr.. Page himself is not,
like Caesars wife, above reproach. It
was only last April that he was ac-
cused of playing petty politics in re-
fusing to send the government models
in this state to Birmingham to the
first annual convention of the United
States Good Roads federation and it
was only when Senator Bankhead ap-
pealed to Secretary Houston that the
order was issued.
Mr.. Page breaches well and he can
do no better than follow his own
preachments.

The Pubic Christmas Tree.

Birmingham is going to have mn-
nicipal Christmas tree. If the plans of
several ladies can be carried OUT sain
citizen. According to the reports i
have seen in The Age Herald, it is the
idea of the ladies to place a tree at
the head of Twentieth street. in Capitol
park. They will have the tree deco
rated suitably, lighted by electricity
and Will have fine band to furnish
music.
This idea of Christmas tree for
the whole people is "a new one to the
south. 1t has been tried in several of
the northern cities and has proved a
source of great joy to hundreds and
thousands of people. There will be no
gift distribution, but the Christmas
spirit will be there. and the music and
the lights and crowds will all help
to make this Christmas one OF COM
parative joy for some homesick man or
woman who may be sojourning in Bir-
mingham.
The ladies who are back of the
movement are to be stronly commended
for their public spirit in attempting to
have municipal tree. They will re-
ceive no funds from the city, although
understand they have the moral sup
port of Commissioners Ward. The Cham
Der of Commerce, too, is. taking inter-
est in the proposed tree and the ladies
are to meet in the directors room of
that building to discuss the matter.
Most of the material to be used
will be contributed and this will leave
comparatively little money to be ex-
pended"

UNDERwOoD AND HOnsoN

From the Tuscaloosa News.
Here and there in the pages of his
tory can be found great men possessed
with the power of moulding public opin-
ion, men of vision, living perhaps, a
generation ahead of their time; men who
could lead the people, who could project
their ideas to the masses and create pub
lie sentiment; but who could not crys-
talize that sentiment into law; could
not focus their vision on the things near
est them; or apply their theory to the
conditions about them?
Elsewhere in history are to be found
men who could not create public senti.
ment, could not gain the ear of the
masses, could not inspire a great personal
following, but withal master minds who
could hear the voice of the people and
obey it; read public opinion and interpret
it; see the needs of the hour and supply
them; make the laws of the nation and
execute them.
The one is Hobson, the other Under
wood. The one is Bryan and the other
Wilson.
The one is dreamer, a prophet. The
other is a worker, statesman.
Hobson and Bryan entertain the people;
Underwood and Wilson serve them-all
great men, all making history, all with
their work to do. But this way lies Hob
sons and that way Underwood s-both
great men in their respective fields; both
endowed with rare talents, but ~ very
different nature. =

tauqua; Underwood to- Congress and the

Work for Alabama

Political excitement should not be
allowed to so overshadow those move
ments undertaken for the upbuilding OF
Alabama as to cause any halt or back
set In the states material progress.
Within the past three years great
development has been in evidence
throughout the south, and in no south
ern state has there been greater ad-
vance in modern agriculture than in
Alabama. Boys corn CLUBS and
girls canning clubs are now rec
ognized as distinct factors in bring
ing this state to the front. Diversified
farming in Alabama has proved to be
highly successful and genuine en-
thusiasm has been aroused in many
counties.
Homeseekers from the north are
coming south in ever increasing num-
bers, and Alabama should get its snare
OF new settlers, especially those oil
farming experience. Organized effort
is necessary to bring the class OF set
tiers most desirable. An excellent
channel through which effective work
can be done is the Alabama Land
congress. At the annual meeting OF
the congress held in Birmingham in
November, many instructive and stim'
u,ating addresses were delivered. Only
practical matters we're discussed and
orly practical and successful met took
part in the discussions. The proceed
ings of the Land congress should be
bound in convenient and attractive
form and should be distributed in the
ncrth by thousands and tens of thou
sands. There would be fine results.
Organization and ceasless endeavor
should be the slogan of Alabamians;
II would help in the great forward
movement.

Important Convention

One of the most important conyen-
tions to be held next year will be that
of the American Road congress, which
met this year in Detroit, and which
will meet next October in Atlanta A
valuable educational feature Of the
American Road congress is the extern
sive exhibition of road building machin-
cry. In Detroit the exhibits alone oc-
cupied $4,000 square feet of floor space
and represented 800 manufacturers.
The American Road congress has
never met in the south, and the At
lanta meeting will be of far-reaching
advantage to the entire section. Bir-
mingham might have secured the 1914
meeting had the big auditorium pro-
ject been assured early last fall when
different cities began active campaign
ing for the prize. AS it was, Atlanta
had no trouble in capturing the con
vention for next year.
The American Road congress will
meet in an eastern or a western city
in 1915, but Birmingham should be a
strong candidate for the 1916 meeting
In hotel accommodate Birmingham
will be unsurpassed, and we will have
by far the largest auditorium in the
scuth.
