Christopher Wren was a builder in the

1t was in his brain that the designs had
birth; it was he who drew the plans, who
directed the architectural draughtsmen
and the engineers. His was the genius
that organized the forces of craftsmen;
his was the all seeing eye under which
the dream became substantial beauty.
The circumstances that defeated and

OSCAR UNDERWOOD

From the Admission Star.
Ever since the lamented Senators Nor
gan and Pettus went to their reward,
three has been a. constant appeal in Ala
bama for more men of their statue in the
service of the state at Washington; and
the longer Oscar Underwood remains in
public life, the closer do we seem to have
come toward an answer to that prayer.
Mr.. Underwood was a candidate for
the presidency against Woodrow Wilson,
and was defeated. He has risen magnifi-
Gently out of defeat, however, and no
man at Washington has done more than
he to uphold the hands of the President
and to assure the redemption of the
pledges of the democratic party to the
people of the country.
A smaller man would have shown re-
sentiment toward the victor, but not so
with the senator from Alabama. Ame-
times, when there was honor on either
side of the question-on the child labor
vote, for instance-Mr. Underwood is be-
lieved to have sacrificed his personal
conviction in behalf of the Presidents re-
election. His allegiance has not been
servile, however and when he felt that
he could not accede to the Presidents
desires Mr.. Underwood has not failed
to take issue. He did this in his recent
clash with Senator Stone and in his
fight against tariff commission.
In the latter instance, the Star does
not agree with Mr.. Underwood, but his
attitude is easy to be understood We do
commend him most heartily for his brave
and almost single handed fight to re-
move the proposed tax on cotton used in
the manufacture of munitions of war;
a measure that saved much to the farm
ers of the south. The Star also COM
mends the junior senator for his fight
against the protection of the dye indus
try-a measure that establishes prece-
dent and cripples the strength of the
democratic stand for a revenue tariff
Mr.. Underwood is a credit to Alabama,
and we are again taking the place in the
public eye, through his efforts, that we
held when the late Senator Morgan was
regarded as the brainiest man in the Sen

With one great gush Of blossoms storms

A week ago the sparrow was divine;
The bluebird, shifting his light load OF

From post to post along the cherries

Was as a rhymer ere the poet come;
But now, oh rapture! sunshine winged

Pipe blown through by the warm wild
breath of the west
Shepherding his soft doves Of fleecy

Inorganic substance seem alive. The Lon
doner who stands for the thousandth time
before st. Paul's cathedral and protests
that it "breathes" is giving voice to
something more than British pride. He is
paying homage to one of the most tragic
genuises that ever gave titanic expression
to his own spirit and that of his time.
1t was to make visible the spirit of the
England of his day that Christopher
Wren, one of the greatest builders the
world has known, poured his flaming,
persistent genius into the fabric of st.
Pauls. And because the authorities, as
authorities have done from time imme-
mortal, interfered after a season, with
the builders efforts, st. Paul's is at once
a marvel and a tragedy.
What building in it's exterior form
does not bow it's head before st. Pauls?"
exclaims Dean Milman. What eye
trained to all that is perfect in architec-
ture, does not recognize the inimitable
beauty of it's line, the majestic yet airy
swelling of it's dome, it's rich, harmonious
ornamentation? Mr.. Ferguson, though

THE PRUNE OF THE KAw
From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
Some epicurean PHILOSOPHER of old

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Some epicurean philosopher of old has
written "a man is what he eats which
has found modern translation in the
saying, Tell me what you eat and I will
tell you what you are" We know at
least that Cassius asked Upon what
meat doth this our Caesar feed that he
is grown so create" the question i'm
plying that a man is what his regular
fare makes him. This truth should be
considered with respect to communities
as well as to individuals, and in all the
applications that can be made of it, it
should be remembered that, without ref
erence to old prejudices and past reputa-
tions, anything contributing to the
greatness of a man or a city must be
accounted good.
Sticking to and following that line of
reasoning, we find the vindication Of the
long and much maligned prune at the
other end. Too long had the humble
prune been made the base of tawdry
boarding house jokes. Too long had the
taunt you're full of prunes." been
equivalent to saying that one to whom
it was addressed had filled himself with
the east wind, and that In him there was
always a Bermuda high area of hot air.
Through all of these years of disparage-
ment and detraction, the prune has been
doing its mighty work. But how mighty
that work has really been was not
dreamed of until, in announcing great
prune shortage now upon us, one of tho
leaders in the trade, says: Kansas City
people ordinarily are the greatest prune
eaters in the country"
In that statement the vindication of the
prune Is complete. For Is not Kansas
City a monument Of progress and adj
vancement? He would. indeed. be a
calumniator, and a short-card sport who
would deny the town on the Kaw that
award of merit. 1t is possible to recall
years in which Leavenworth, Omaha and
Atchison, being then all in the running
for metropolitan leadership on the up

Kansas City, sprawling over its hills,
was filled with prunes. In imagining it.

THE NEGRO YEAR nook

The fourth annual edition of the No
gro Year Book, 1851, published at
Tuskegee institute, is not only credit
to Monroe N. Work. the compiler and
editor, but the information contained
within its nearly 500 pages will be
found of distinct interest to all students
of Afro-American race conditions and
well wishers of the colored population.
One of the most interesting features
of the book is the review of the prog
ress of the negro in SO years-1866 to
1916. 1t should encourage leaders of
the race and cause them to go for
ward with renewed zeal In their ef-
forts to promote character-building and
industrial activity. Each chapter is OF
practical value, and the book as
whole is worthy of place in every ref
erence library.
