the best that there is In him for the
betterment Of his party and for the
material good Of his country. There
is 10 mis.aking the fact that Oscar
Underwood is one Of the most inter
ostn. one Of the largest personages
in the public life OF Washington. AS
clean as hounds tooth, he combines
gith it a charming personality, and
ability marked and pronounced in Is
nature and devotion to duty as i'm
peliing as it Is sincere and broad. On
ly few days ago, the country had
very fine demonstration OF how a
very great man successfully worked
his way out Of position full OF en-
barrassment, TO himself, to the coun-
try and to the President OF the Uni
ted states as well Mr.. Underwood was
opposed to the repeal of the exemp-
ton clause IN the Panama act, 1t was
a matter Of sincere faith with him.
He believed with others, that it would
be a mistake 10 change the act in
question so as TO do away with the
exemption OF American coast wise
shipping at Panama!
He voted against the repeal; he
placed his position, however on high
grounds, and De did not align himself
with the shipping monopoly; he did
not encourage those who would scuttle
the Wilson ship of state and he did
not sit down cheek-byjowl with Hearst
and Murphy and that remnant OF a
whipped and discredited party who
are barking at the heels Of President
Wilson. lie maintained dignified
poise, he voted his convictions, but
ne refused to become a party to the
conspiracy TO discredt the President
and split the party with strife and
internal discord.
Again, the result In Alabama shows
a consistency on the part Of the
splendid people of that state, who

him 70 the United States senate. The
final degree OF pleasure 1t should at,
fcrd to the people Of the entire coun-
try Is that II relegates 10 private life
tho greatest four-flushor of modern
times and at the same time rebukes
the sort of service Richmond Pearson
iIobson has been rendering the people
OF the couatry fer the salary he has
drawn. II has been stated since
March 4, 1919 this congressman has
been drawing his full pay as q rep
icsentative In congress, while he has
actually put in but some twenty one
days in his seat In the house. His
campaign FOR the senate, waged while
his opponent was attending to his Of
iiicial duties In Washington, was bit
ter, unidentified and reprehensible at
lacking MIR. Underwood In a most
the most false and malicious manner.
ilaying capitalized the Merrimao in
cident to the fullest extent utilizing
its brass band incidents he BAN
boo1led the people Of Alabama Into
sending him TO congress, there he neg.
leeted his duties to assassinate and
assail the character of the greatest
lawyer the Democratic party has had
in congress In years. However, the
people OF Alabama seem to have good
memories. they recalled the nauseat-
ing kissing esoapade in Chicago few
years ago, in which this hero" play
ed his part. They knew the charac-
ter of the campaign lIobson was max

man who deserved To be honored,
IL is TO be hoped that he will long
remain in the shades OF private life
70 which his own people have consign-
cd him and in the meantime he might
find these few lines from Omar, inter
osting as they are pertinent:
The moving hnger writes and hay-
Ing writ moves on. Nor all your
piety nor Wit shall lure It back to can
eel half line. nor all your tears
wash out q word of it,"
