Every state in the union will be represented in the guard which will form in two lines and salute the president as he passes between the lines.
 Mrs. Catt said in part:
 ''The great war will bring untold changes in its wake; it presages a total change in the status of women. In Europe, from the Polar Circle to the Aegean Sea, women have risen and taken the places made vacant by men, and in so doing they have grown in self-respect and in the esteem of their respective nations. Indeed. Europe is realizing as it never did before, that women are holding together the civili- zation for which men are fighting. A great searchlight has been thrown | upon the business of nation building and 1t has been demonstrated in every European land that is a partnership with equal but different responsibilities resting upon the partners.
 The war will soon end and the armies will return to their native lands. To many a family the men will never come back. The husband who returns to many a family will eat no bread the rest of his life save of her earning.
 What. then, will happen after the war? Will the widow left with fam lilies to support cheerfully leave their well-paid posts for those commanding 1 lower wages? Not without protest The economic axiom, denied and evad ed for centuries will be emblazoned on every factory, counting house and shop: Equal pay for equal work: and common justice will slowly but surely enforce that law The European wo- ! man has risen. She may not realize il yet, but the woman door mat in every land has unconsciously become ] door -jamb.' She will have become i accustomed to her new dignity by the time the men come home. She will wonder how she ever could have been | content lying across the threshold now that she discovers the upright ! jamb gives so much broader and more
 normal vision of things.

Nothing is more apparent than that
Senators Bankhead and Underwood

indorse for the judgeship of the south
ern federal circuit of Alabama to be
vacated December l by Judge Toul-
min.

the delegation as a whole will be I'M
able to agree on a man, the chances
are that the selection will be Cup to

chief executive names the individual

Senator Underwood has previously
pointed out through The Age-Herald
that the. opportunity of a democrat to
receive the plum may be dependent on
the reelection of Mr. Wilson. Four
years ago, when Wilson had been
pointments to lifelong jobs for con-
firmation by the Senate. Democrats
prevented the confirmation of the bulk
of such appointments. There is rea-
son to believe that in the event of
Hughes election, identical tactics
would be employed by republicans.
There is nothing on which to base
a guess as to the. Alaba milan the sen
ators will favor. About 20 names have
been suggested and each of these is
supported by many other distinguished
Alabamians. The campaign in the in

General Pershing, in open defiance Of

THE PEOPLES VERDICT

From the/ foregoing statement regard
ing the relationship of the United States
to Germany, England and France, and
Mexico. it is readily seen that the situa-
ton offers argument for both the re-
publicans and the democrats
The people must decide whether the
chaotic world condtion-in which this
government is constantly beset. by terrors
is traceable to a weak and facilitating
policy put into effect and assduously
pursued by the administration. They
must also determine whether or not, in
view of the constant danger of war, the
destiny of the nation should be entrusted
to Wilson, a proved disciple of peace,
or to Hughes, who as the shadow of his
substance, Roosevelt, breathes war and
threats of war.
And while the people are deciding, the
politicians of both camps, perhaps indif-
ferent to real danger express themselves
as satisfied and absolutely confident of
Endorsement.
