Mr.. Underwoodps Victory
Washington Post.)


The decisive vote by which the peo-
/ lie of Alabama yesterday decided that
'scar w Underwood, Democratic
,ader in the House of Representa-
] yes, should be promoted to the Sen
|. -e, emphasizes in thunderous tones
cle strong Americanism which per-
sades that great Southern Common
ealth. The majority vote won by
democratic leader voiced the pro-
y est of the South against the IMAM
. lean policy on the toll question
4 That was the main issue during the
st fortnight of the campaign. No
after what may have been in the
inds Of Democrats in Alabama dur
the early stages of the primary
ght, the great speech Of Oscar Under
God, preceded by his open, manly
sclaration that he could not support
President in what he believed to
policy out of harmony with Amer
n doctrine and constituting a DELHI
ate violation of party pledges, was
dominating factor.
- Returning to the state to give per-
- nal attention to his campaign after
rforming his duty in the House, he
-. ade few brief speeches further e:,-
aiming to his constituents what tae
,licy of the President on the canal
VI lestion meant and why he could not
d would not follow him. The Hob
q slogan was prohibition. Mr.. I'm
4 rwood kept in the foreground his
llwart opposition to the "un-Ameri-
81 n policy of surrender" in the matter
u exemption repeal. Upon that issue
case of Mr.. Underwood was sub
tied to the highest court to which
m could appeal. That he won is o
credit of Alabama and to the glory
the country at large.
The Senate is to be congratulated
On the entrance into that body of a
Nmber not only equipped for active
A. useful service, but of proved pa
q otism whose vote will always be
q 1 on the side of the American peo-
and for the management of their
! affairs by themselves. When in
gerat speech in the House of Rep
entatives Mr.. Underwood character

ton party-as has been reported IN
some newspapers-wil nominate Jack
London for the presidency of the
United States.
1t is a question just how much Jack
London's recent book, John Barley
corn" will advance the movement for
womans suffrage. The book seems to
have been suggested by a question of
Chairman" (NIrs. Jack London), to
her husband, Now just why did you
vote for the suffrage amendment"
That Jack London's book, John
Barlycorn," fearlessly araigns the liQ-
uor traffic, and those who encourage
it. none will doubt who read the story
carefully.
Mr.. London says that at five, he
drank beer because the grown-ups
drank it. Other things they kept from
him were good-why not beer?
At seven he drank sour wine, not
because he liked it, but because older
folks Dragged on him for being able 70
hold so much.
At ten he thought saloons were right
because the city sanctioned and licen5-
ed them, and because in them he saw
reporters, editors, lawyers, and judges,
whose names and faces he knew.
At fifteen woman, Queen of the
Oyster Pirates" challenged him 10
drink with her.
Later, he found it easier to do wrong
when drinking than when sober. He
found, also, that the devotees of John
Barleycorn" drink to celebrate fortune
or misfortune, friendship or enmi,y
and success or failure in love and bus
mess.
The author condemns and damns
the stuff that ruins noble young man
hood-''The fellows with the fire aad
the go in them, who have bigness, and
warmness, and the best of human
weakness" He continues, "Of course
he ruins weaklings but NY
concern is that it is so much of the
best We breed whom John Barlycorn
destroys. And the reason why these
best are destroyed is because John
Barlycorn stands on every highway
and byway, accessible, unprotected
saluted by the policeman on his beat
!. With John Barleycorn out OF
the way, these daring ones would still
be born, and they would do things n
stead of perishing" In another con-
rection he says, John Barleycorn is
