Provide Censor for Moving Pictures

TT Birmingham expressed their disapproval
 of Sunday moving pictures in this city They have spoken decsvey thus ending controversy which has plagued the city authorities for years
 The verdict the polls will be carried out the spirit shown by the result
 The settlement of this election presents opporune time for suggestion of importance the moving picture industry in this city
 The city commission has ample authority to to it that films not exhibited in Birmingham which offensive There plenty of good pictures and the people of this city entitled to know before they enter theatre that they take their wives and daughters with confidence that they will not blush at what is thrown upon the screen.
 Pictures shown here should be officially censored.
 With this end in view it the duty of the city authorities to provide the scrutiny for films which be exhibited The named for should be broad minded He should not be such will be prush by leaning backward his de- csons but should approach his duties with fair and mind and should be who has enough to distinguish between artistry and tawdry vulgarity.
 It task which should be approached spirit of evy but with firm determination to prevent anything but abso utey clean pictures from being the theatres of Br mngham.
 In fact might be we'll to create censorship board of three with member By changing the personnel of the board every few months excellent results cured.

CLARK PRAISES UNDERWOOD

some years later became chairman of the same committee, MT. Clark writes:
 Springer, as chairman of ways and means, was much ridicuied for his Pop Gun Tariff Bil!s,' that is, instead of in- troducing one general bill revising all the schedules, he introduced a separate bill for each schedule. Great sport was had at his expense; but it has never been settled definitely that Springer's derided plan was not as good as any other. The chances are that his fussy manner had as much to do in provoking the jests as did the "Pop-Gun Bills'' themselves. In confirmation of this view it will be re- membered that in the Sixty-second Con- gress, MT. Chairman Underwood intro- duced particular bills for particular schedules, beginning with Schedule k' the wool schedule. Underwoods bills were as truly "Pop-Gun'' bills as were Springers. Nobody ventured to ridi- cule Underwood or his bills because that able. suave, sedate and level-headeu statesman does not invite ridicule; and, what is q good deal more, it was widely known that he carried fist of steel in velvet glove. Watching him in ac- tion person realizes that "a man may smile and smile and be a"-fighter. Con- sequently his opponents were chary Of trying any funny business with him.
 The universal respect and admiration accorded Senator Underwood by his col leagues in Congress, no matter what their political complexion may be, is one of the most striking features of hls career in Congress. It is safe to say that no member of Congress in the past generation has attained the high place
 in the admiration of his associates as did the Alabamian in the House. Nor has any new member of the Senate moved forward more rapidly than the Alabama senator in the confidence of his associates, nor has he been charged with more responsible duties than those put upon the Alabama senator, who held a position of unchallenged leadership of his party when he was in the House.

Next Offensive May
 Be Launched at Italy

m HE visit of Emperor Charles to J the Italian front, the massing of large bodies of troops and other ac- tivities behind the lines lend color to the belief that the next great of fensive of the Teutonic powers will be launched against Italy.
 This would be equivalent to a con- fession on the part of Germany that her attempt to shatter the British army and drive a wedge between the British and French armies has proved a complete failure, an admission the German government will not make officially. The German people must be kept in ignorance, not only of the frightful losses entailed, but the neg ligible gains made. However, there are indications in the tone of the more radical German press that the people are beginning to think for themselves, and their thought bode no good to the Prussian autocracy, which has sacrificed nearly half a million men along the western front without gaining it's objective.
 If the blow falls once more on hard pressed Italy, it will be due not only to the failure of German armies to break through on the western front, but largely, it is believed, to the po- litical and economic situation in the dual monarchy, which has become critical. Nothing short of a deci- sive victory for Austria will silence the clamor which is keeping Charles dominions in a turmoil. If the next offensive is abortive, the house of Hapsburg will find itself in a. seri- ous predicament. The solidarity of Germany's population is in marked contrast to the polyglot peoples who are ruled over by Charles, none too securely, if we can place credence in reports which have lately come to us from Austria Hungary.
 The allies have already taken steps to meet another drive against Italy. The Teutonic armies will not be able to again demoralize Italian troops by seditious propaganda. Italy's soldiers have long since regained their fight ing spirit, which was never really lost. Their stamina is as great as 1t ever was, for their eyes have been opened to the duplicity of the foe they are dealing with.

From the Montgomery Advertiser
 6T1O miss reading Champ Clarks au-
 tobiography. now running seriaiiy = in Hearst's magazine, is to miss enjoying very fine picture of American political fife The speaker, who has been in Congress since 1892. not only has lived through some of the most exciting po- receptive mind, sympathetic to the events and to the human nature, of the ceaseless struggles in and out of Washington for place and prestige.
 The speakers ability has never been questioned, even by his political enemies. Unlike some men in American business and political affairs he does not turn his literary efforts over to hired man. The work is too original, too striking and too characteristic not to recognize it as being molded by the hand of Champ Clark. In nothing is he quite so effective as in his pen pictures of his con- temporares. He has his own pet preju- dices, as every man has who has mad some rough and tumblng in American
 
 politics. He does not like certain of the most conspicuous democrats of the sound money faction fight of 25 years, but he dwells upon their record neither in criticism or abuse.
 Certain men he does like, irrespective of any possible difference they may have had with him. He is a fair judge of human nature and the political leaders to whom he vouchsafes his friendship have been strong men and true men. He admires Oscar Underwood, and does not hesitate to say so In the last in stallment of his biography, he deals with the Congress which assembled in 1882 and incidentally with the late Congress- man William M. Springer, who was made chairman of the committee on ways and means. Tn contrasting MT. Springer's work with the abler and far more effec- tive methods of Oscar Underwood, who

 A woman,s indifference toward her husband never reaches the point where

Mrs. D. A.

At the ap- pointed hour his negro driver arrived in Woodlawn with the corpse, and learned that the grave had not been dug, and he was requested to take the remains back ard return with them later, after the grave had been dug and the proper par ties notified in order that a big funeral might be held. Mir. Echols' driver didn't like any such dilly sdallying, so he ex- pressed himself thusly:

THE FIRST BROWNING GUN''
ohn Bruce Mitchell, in the Forum. first Browning gun wa
 made by John M. Brownin

John Bruce Mitchell, in the Forum.
 RH6TN1IE first Browning gun was
 S when he was 1S years old. IL was not machine gun, may be sur missed. MT Browning has invented more successful firearms than any 10 ether men in history.
 Sixty-six years ago there was gum shop in what was then the little town of ogden, Utah. It was owned and op- erated by Jonathan Browning, father Of the inventor of the Browning machine gun. The Brownings are Americans through and through In the early for ties Jonathan Browning left his home in Tennessee and journeyed to Council Bluffs, la, where he piled his trade as gunsmith and general tinker" He set up shop there and made guns for the pioneers. He also mended broken blows and leaking kettles and did all sorts of tinkering. In 1852 he packed his shop equipment into an OK cart and set out for ogden. This equipment" consisted of bag full of tools and an ancient wooden foot-pow lathe. It took him month to make the trip.
 John NJ. Browning was born in Ogden two years later. and almost from baby hood he played in his fathers gun shop. Back of this old lathe was a scrap heap, such as is found in every shop of tfrs kind. It contained old broken and other wise seemingly useless gun barrels, bits of flint and percussion cap locks and other junk. This scrap heap and the an- cient lathe were destined to play a big part in the worlds history of firearms. When Jack Browning was 1S he wanted Q gun. The only way to get it. so far as he could see. was to make it. He got busy with that scrap heap and before long he had turned out.a gun that seemed to suit him. His father examined it carefully and it is said that the old man almost wept with pride and joy and told his boy that he had "done well. , It is also said that this was high praise
