SUFFS ARTER UNDERWOOD

Senator Underwood is spending the congressional vacation in Alabama. He has made several speeches in Birnnng ham, and has paid a visit to certain cities in the northern end of the state. Later. he will so to the southern sec ton. st.
 He. has. been given splendid recep- tion, and apparently there is little trou- ble and no danger ahead.
 At the same time, he is frequently the object of criticism. His position ou the Susan B. Anthony amendmeht has aroused the ire of ardent suffragettes. His position is unmstakabIe. He went his length in the Senate, with success, to prevent the submission of the amend ment. He believes that the people rather than the legislature of Alabama should act on this question. And tis possible that he doesn't believe women should participate in politics until majority of them expresses desire to do so.
 It is gathered from the tenor of a re- gently published interview with a Bir- mingham suffragette that that faction will punish Senator Underwood for his unalterable attitude of opposition. It is generally said that Mir. Musgrove favors the Susie" amendment. It is therefore probable that this subject will prove to, be sharply defined issue in the cham paign next year. As result. it will be, definitely established whether Alabama wants equal suffrage or is satisfied to continue in it's present state of mind.

WOMEN IN CHICAGO

Te women failed to save the day in Chicago. It has always been contended by opponents of equal suffrage that a worhan at the polls would be subject to the same environment to which a man is subject
 A study of the figures obtainable from the Chicago result proves that just as more men voted for Kaiser Bill Thompson than voted for his democratic and all-Amercan opponent more women supported the alleged pro-German than the man against whose patriotism no voice had been raised
 And it is interesting to note that de- spite the "softening' effect of the fe- male voting contingency, Chicago decid- ed, to l, to. remain wet" True, the prohibitionists, on the morning, after, de- clared that they did not care because the issue is a dead issue And yet in other sections of the country where a contrary contention serves their purpose, they swear the issue more alive today then ever before ill history.
 For instance, during May q band of inspired orators will parade throughout

in the speeding up of all our industries to the highest possible point.
 Another reason for the optimism is dis covered in disclosures such as Fred I. Kent, vice president of the Bankers Trust company, has recently made Mir Kent is abundantly qualified to speak with authority. He aided the government in the war days in certain important
 financial matters doing that willingly and without any recompense Before the war came he had achieved remarkable success in establishing in Europe and 1T. other parts of the world branches which would make it as easy for Americans in Europe to carry on banking or financial business there as would he the case Were the transactions concentrated in one of the great trust companies of New York. He is one of the few really great mas ters of foreign exchange itself one of the most difficult and technical of all the factors entering into financial and business life.
 Mir. Kent says that in addition to tho loans or credits which the government at Washington has advanced to our al lies loans which in these last days of March approximate s9, 600 GOO, zoo. there are s2. 165. .o00opo outstanding loans to people in other lands which are in the hands of the bankers and public of the United States.
 But the public in other countries if they are to be able 10 buy American commodities in amounts needed, must greatly increase the amount of private loans now in excess of g. GOO, ,000. .000, which they have made with the bankers and the public of the United States. The reason is easy to see. Mir Kent esti- mates that the yearly net trade balance in favor of the United States for some years to some will be approximately billion dollars. That will represent the excess of our sales of commodities to foreign countries over our imports from other countries. For a long time there can be no way by means of which this great trade balance can be in part or entirely cared for excepting by our pur- chase of the kind of commodities as MT Kent calls them, which are represented by foreign securities.
 Therefore he looks for private loans made by the banks and the public in the United States to people of other lands running up to 300,0o0.000 a year at least.
 Much of the prosperity of the United States since Civil war days can be traced to capital which we secured in Europe, Now the condition is reversed. Europe is to be rebuilt industrially by the aid Of capital furnished by the United States Our future prosperity is depend ent according to MT. Kent in great measure upon the prosperity of the other nations of the world, In order to facili- tate the worlds prosperity we must aid the other natons. In doing this we shall increase our prosperity.

m OLITICAB sharks see a rather [
 lS unique situation in the slowly de- | veloping senatorial campaign.

It can be stated with. a degree of cer- tainty that Senator Underwood will be a candidate to succeed himself. It is highly probable that he will have oppo- sition.
 According to the Associated Press, L. B. Musgrove is formally announced candidate It is said, however, that Mir, Musgrove, in possession of. the opposi ton limelight, is disinclined to make the race. It is gossip that Borden Burr, with out the advantage of the limelight, is very anxious to run. io
 It is understood that Brooks Lawrence. now busily engaged in the utilitarian task of organizing the farmers for the farm CTS advantage, wants Musgrove to run, whether Musgrove wants to run or not; and that he is opposed to the alleged polit- ical ambitious Of MT. Burr.
 The campaign is in a nebulous, though not uninteresting stage. Mir. Musgrove is

SEN NAIE AND THE LEAGUE
 Reverting to the senatorial campaign and the criticism directed against Sena- tor Underwood, it will be noted that ever and anon someone takes him to task because he has not formally and unequiv- ocally committed himself either to op- pose or support the constitution of the proposed league of nations.
 This desire to critieise is iudulged de- spite the fact that the constitution is not written, and no man, not even those who sit at the peace table, know exact ly what that constitution will contain. In this connection, it may be stated that the members of the Senate who have taken position regarding that consttu- tion can be numbered on the fingers of the two hands. The Senators who have declared unequivoeally for the original constitution as it was submitted for their consideration, and who have not insisted that certain amendments be included, are not as numerous as the fingers of one hand
 The idea involved in a league of na- tions is all that one in possession of his wits may declare for or against Against that idea not more than two or three senators have committed themselves For the idea, the Senate is practically unan- imouS.

THE VETERANS REUNION

Why doesn't Birmingham invite the Confederate veterans to Birmingham?
 The annual reunion can be had for the asking. Is not Birmingham still desrous of becoming a convention city? Certainly in it's adoration of the present hero. it has not forgotten its love for the old.
 There was once a time when Birming- ham fought for the Confederate reunion. Birmingham can now have it without fighting.

-FOUR ARE KILLED IN
EXPLOSION At TORRENT
