The average safeblower can never

is he ever in a position to supply
himself with so much gas. A single

UNDERWOOD
DEFEATS HOBSON
End of Bitter Fight in
Alabama.
Prohibition Question Raised by
Hobson Did Not Win
For Him.

Birmingham, Ala, April 6.-Under-
woods victory at the primary today
marked the close of the most bitter
and spirited political fight ever stag
ed in Alabama. The Democratic nomi-
nation is equivalent to election.
The fight has aroused much inter-
est, both within the State and out
side. This is due to the prominence
Of both candidates and the issues in
volv,l. This was the first primary
held in Alabama under the new direct
election of Senators law.
National party leaders and even
the Democratic Administration have
been assisting Underwood in his
campaign. His defeat would have
been the Reputation of the tariff
law, of which he was the author.
by the people of his own State.
Underwood made his campaign chief
ly on his past record in Congress,
drawing particular attention to his
tariff work.
Hobson male his stand almost
entirely on the prohibition ques-
ton, with a side issue Of attacks
ON Underwood, charging that the
latter was "a tool of the liquor in
terests and an emissary of Wall
Street." and directing attention to
the contribution of Thomas F. Ryan
to Uhderwood's campaign fund when
Underwood was seeking the presiden-
tial nomination in 1912.
Had Hobson been able to control
the entire prohibition sentiment in
the State, according to close stu
dents of Alabama politics, he would
have had an easy majority. as fifty
nine out of the sixty-seven counties
are 'iiry" under the local option law
Underwood's attacks on Hobson
have centered on the latter's absen-
teeism from the House and the refu-
tation of Hobson's charges that I'm
derwood was in league with Wall St.,
and the liquor interests.

Safe Blowing Doomed.

The death knell of safe blowing
as a profession" has been sounded.
The quick-witted, nimble-hngered
gentleman burglar," proficient in
the use of explosives, to whom APP
parently the strongest and most up
to-date safe falls an easy prey, may
find himself compelldi to turn his
wits to other ends than that Of safe
blowing, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. For safe blowing will be
well-nigh impossible in the near fu-
ture. This not because city, State
and Federal police have devised any
new and more effective methods OF
capturing the silk-hatted brisands'
The authorities doing their best are
apparently no match for the ingen-
uous safe blower.
Strangely enough this war OF
science upon the safe blower has not
started in the United States where
applied sciences and mechanics have

other country en- earth. II rs from

Ohio County Boy Honored.

"Mr. r. A. Foster, of Marion. Ky,
won the annual Paterson oratoracal
contest which was held in the chapel
last Thursday night.
Mr.. Foster ushered in a new a1u
practical thought by presenting to the
audience, THE Making of Men,"
which deals chiefly with attainmeatS
open to the college professor and stu
dent. The subject was weld prepared
and delivereb in as pleasing a manner.
Mr.. Maron Robert McCauley, q
LOUISVILLE, KY, who spoke Gtout
Joan of Arc" was awarded second
place. Mr.. McCau,ey, who was prior
to this collegiate year, a student at
the University OF Iowa, delivered an
excellent speech and promises to be-
come a forcible speaker.
1t can be truly said that this con-
test was the best ever held at State:
ALI the speeches We're excellent and
the audience was at loss to know
who would win. After the judges had
rendered the decision the society
medal was presented by DIR. Patter-
son, with complimentary remarks com
corning the work of the society"
The above is taken from the idea,
the State University paper at Lexing-
ton and reaches us through the kind
ness of our old friend Herbert Felix.
Young Mr.. Foster. who is mentioned
as having won the Patterson medal
in oratory Is an Ohio county boy. He
Is the son of Mr.. Joseph Foster and
was born on a farm in the No Creek
neighborhood about mites North Of
Hartford. His father moved TO CSit-
tendon county before he was grown
aIsi was then living near Beaver Dam
We are always glad TO note the soe'
cess of an Ohio county boy, and evf-
IDENTIFY young Foster is made pf che
proper material and will continue
to honor his native county.
