to the statement he has signed and be for MT. Underwood for President. There fore, 1t would be blow to Mir Under wood for the people of this state to put Mir. Borden Burr upon the National Dem ocratic Committee.
 Mir Burr Is bright young lawyer who has been very active in politics, par ticularly in prohibition agitation. He spent much time during the recent ses- sion of the legislature in Montgomery urging and aiding in legislation >advo- cated by the prohibition majority. MT. Burr, with his enthusiasm for prohibi- ton, has gone too far in his signed state- ment and it is the duty of the substantial people of Alabama to prevent his elec- tion as National Committeeman from this state, for the simple reason that he desires to destroy the greatest politi- cal and practical personal asset this state has, in the person of oscar W. Under- wood.
 *
 Judge B. M. Alien of Birmignham, man of wealth, great ability and life leng party service, an. advocate and  friend of Senator Underwood, an upbuilder and broad-guaged man, should be put forward as national committeeman. Judge Allen personally has up to date hesitated and failed to announce himself candidate. His friends and the people of the state should force the honor upon him. He would make an ideal man for the position.
 It was his speeches and his work which carried Florida for Underwood four years ago. He is a power on the stump and power in any assembly, He is amply able financially to uphold the dignity and the responsibility of a national commit teeman, which is merely an honorary po- sition without any salary attached.

BEST THEATRE.

Today-"Thc .JacObean House"
'"The Scarlet Stories" are taking on
the aspects of good mystery tales in
which Earle Williams as the chauf-
feur is almost Sherlock Holmes.
This tells of queer old mansion used
as a country hotel, but it's owners are
troubled by the fact that strange
thefts are continually being accom-
plished. Christopher Race is en-
gagged to ferret out the mystery and
does so, finding that by means of a
mysterious drug injected through the
walls of the rooms, temporarily
rendering the diners insensible, the
pair of thieves are enabled to steal
their jewelry. Secret passages,
mysterious happenings and the
kindred paraphernalia of the detec-
tive story. add to the interest of the
episode. Mr. Williams does excellent
work, and the settings are charming
Zena Keefe and Josephine Earle have
the leading feminine roles. Walter
McGrail and Harold Forshay are
others in the cast.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

Charley Ray is the star of "The
Deserter." Triangle feature to be
seen at the Orpheo theatre today.
The story deals with stirring
events at a frontier army post in
1868. Ray has the role of Lieutenant
Parker, who has lost his heart to
Barbara Taylor, daughter of the
colonel in charge of the post. But
Barbara's affections have been won
by Captain Turner. and when the
handsome young lieutenant asks her
for her hand she has to say no.

courtmartial and desertion. He flees
to the desert, becomes lost, is found
exhausted by a caravan of settlers
who are latter attacked by Indians.
They face massacre, when Parker
creeps out mounts a stray horse and
dashes for the fort. One lone Indian
clings to his trail, finally overtakes
him and leaps from his own horse to
Parker's. AS the two fight in the
saddle, the horse plunges over cliff
20 feet high, and men and horse
plungs and roll to the bottom Of the
steep declivity. The Indian is dead
but Parker and the horse are still
able to travel, and the fort is reached

HAUBER THEATER.

Big business proves absolutely
ruthless in its treatment of all who op-
pose it. The Indian camp stood on
a huge timber tract that the trust
needed. The Indians refused to sell.
Accordingly the Indians were evict-
ed and their village utterly destroyed.
The burning of the Indian camp is
but one of the sensations in the big
new chapter play. It's scenes are all
laid in the big North woods. Real
lumber camps, real log-jams, real
sawmills and real giants Of the forest
are the stage settings for this amaz-
ing photoplay. Love, adventure, thrills
abound in every chapter. There are
sensations galore. To miss this pic
ture is to miss the biggest feature of
the year. You owe it to yourself to
see "A Lass of the cumberland" at
the Hauber today.
Also showing Billie Retchie in an L.
ko scream. "Where Is My Wife,"
Betty SADIE in "When He Came Back"
and an India drama.

Pleased With Army Bill.

Milwaukee - The senate bill, if il
becomes law, means much to WiscoD
sin, much to the national guard and a
great deal to 5000 men who may
choose to volunteer in new military
companies and regiments. The bill
solves the national guard problem in
the manner suggested by various Wis
consin National guard officers The
suggestion was that all national
guardsmen, in addition to swearing in
TO the state service, also take the
United States oath, which would en-
able the general government to order
the guard to service outside the
United States. The senate's plan fed
eralizes the national guard and that
seems to be what is wanted by large
majority of the state troops. The bill
makes provision for adding to the ma
tional guard $4,000 men, more than
doubling the present force. That would
mean for Wisconsin the addition of
about 1000. to be divided up into in
fantry, cavalry and artillery.
