Suffrage Measure
 Beaten in Senate

TNHE Senate has declined to accept l A the Susan B. Anthony consti- tutional amendment providing for
 woman suffrage. The resolution lacked 1.-two votes of the necessary two thirds majority.
 The President made a personal ap-
 peal to the senators in behalf of the
 amendment, but yesterdays result
 showed that not a single vote was
 changed. A very great question of lprinciple must have been involved to
 cause every member of the Senate to
 cling 50 tenaciously to the views he had previously formed.
 The result, however, shows two
 things. Opponents of the resolution agreed with Senator Underwood that the amendment was not necessary war measure because it could not pos sibly become effective in less than
 three or four years, and practically all of the opponents felt that the ques- ton of state rights was involved. Unquestionably there are thousands of sincere advocates of woman's suf- frage in the south especially, but throughout the nation, who do not be- llieve the federal constitutional amend ment the proper method of achieving the end. Even some of the leading suffragists recognize the justness of
 hesitating to place suffrage regala- ton in the hands of the federal gov ernment, but in their enthusiasm to win the ballot they were warm advo- cates of the amendment. They con-
 tend that many states have such pe- lculiar and such difficult safeguards
 around amending their state consti-
 tutions that it is practically impossi-
 ble to make the constitutional change necessary, even though the sentiment of the state were overwhelmingly for it. Hence the federal amendment lis the only hope.
 1 At any rate the fight is over now
 and the result should be accepted, at least so far as this Congress is con- cerned. Much valuable time has been
 taken up with consideration of the measure both in the House and Senate
 and it does not seem fair to devote
 more time to it during this coming
 winter.

Who Made the Kaisers

But this war has given rise to new out let for the fellow who loves to mark up other peoples things to express his sentiments. In looking through one of the local freight depots for box of goods few days ago one of my porters found written in large chalk letters on large box these words:

Many newspapers in America have pub- l lished the identical picture of King George decorating an American soldier for bravery, but so far as we know, the soldiers name has never been published Isn't a private still to some extent an individual? Sister Pankhurst and her militant off, spring are working for all they are worth to beat Germany, but a great many American suffs still seem to think votes for women" more important than win hing the war.

Find. Negroes More Thrifty

T was passing along one of the neigh borhoods in Birmingham in which the negroes lived,' said M K. Thornton Of Bessemer," and seeing a patch of tur- nips in the space between the curb and the street in front of one of the houses in the row, I asked my companion why fort to have a green patch for his win ters use I was told that it was a good sign when one out of five negroes began to show thrift

 But no such exhibition as the two dar- ing airmen gave on Monday afternoon has ever before been witnessed in Bir- mingham, for they first appeared as specks in the sky way above the reach of hostile guns if any had been on the lookout for them. Down they came until they looked like eagles. Then closer and closer until they were making circles around the tower on the courthouse or skimming just above the Jefferson County Bank building.
 It was exciting to see them maneuver- fighting a real battle in the air I can easily see what an intensely dramatic thing it must be to watch fight in the clouds.

 Germany set the awful pace of kill ing from the air and I believe it will take our fleet of airships to bring home to her people that war is not the way to do- minion, but that those who take up the sword will perish by the sword, if they fight to make might right.
