PENROSE CHOOSES KNOX
Rx HUGH ". ROBERTS

the tide which has turned in his direction does not continue to sweep all before it, Penrose vii remove him just as if he were a pawn on the chess board. But up to the present, Knox is apparently the man, and if the prediction of today IS worth anything tomorrow, mark Knox for the candidate to carry the convention.
 And in justice to Penrose, everybody, including democrats, admits that Knox is most excellent man, clean, able, statesmanlike and lacking in demagog- uery and other attributes which make men grotesque. And there is no doubt ex- pressed but that he would make &C., ceptable President. He is a trifle old and to a degree physically infirm But his years are not so heavy that he could not indulge in vigorous campaign.
 Washington, May 4.-(Special) l)-Senator Underwood, democratic leader of Senate, announced today that Senator Conner of Alabama. had been given the committee assignments formerly held by the late Senator Bankhead. Hhus in addition to several small committees, Senator Come1 is a member of the powerful committees of commerce and post office and post roads. No other new senator in recent years has been so fortunate in securing assignments to important committees.
 Washington, May 4.-(Special)--1t is be- lieved that President Wilson delivered to leading democrats of the Senate today his opinion of the peace resolution which will be- presented to the Senate tomorrow.
 Bainbridge Colby, Secretary of State, conferred this morning with Senator Un- derwood, democratic leader, and the democratic members of the foreign rela- tions committee. The subject of the con ference was the peace resolution.
 Senator Underwood, following the meet ing said that nothing had been agreed upon and that only individual opinions had been asserted. It is believed, how ever that Secretary Colby delivered a message direct from the President.
 Senator Undrwood said that there would be no democratic filibuster against the peace resolution. He expects the repub- licans to put it through, and the Pres ident to veto it, and return, with his veto message the Versailles treaty to the Sen- ate.
 It would then happen that the treaty would be before the Senate when Con- gress recesses to attend the conventions unless by some miracle it is ratified be- fore that tir4e.

Saw Picture Reing Made

T greatly enjoyed today the pie ture Constance Talmadge is playing this week at the Trianon." said Mason Dillard.
 When we were at Palm Beach in February we had the pleasure of watching her and her company at work making the Palm Beach part of it, and to see it on the screen gave me double pleasure. To see her acting among the flower gardens of the Pom ciana hotel lawn seemed easy and nat ural work for her and her fine com pany. We tried to find out the name while there, but that was withheld. Love Expert is a great picture and the beautiful scenery at Palm Beach adds wonderfully to its beauty"

do Valid Reason Offered
 For Retiring Underwood

S HE senatorial campaign now drawing to close in Alabama as been characterized, so far as the mg term contest is concerned, by eff orts of Senator Underwood's oppo- ents to create issues that did not ex- t and by appeals to class prejudice. The American voter should be fa- liliar by this time with the kind of uncombe used in every political cam aign to the effect that a certain ardidate is the friend of the com- lon people, the righteous champion the masses against sinister inter- sts" who are piling up millions at ,e expense of the horny handed toil- r. When pressed to declare just what lose sinister interests" are and how ley function, the heated stump beaker cools off perceptib]y and in llges in glittering generalities.
 As matter of fact, such talk is thing more than campaign thun- p and it seldom has any weight lth the people who do their own inking. As a rule the candidates Ao have tried to ride into office by raying one class against another,
 trying to make it appear that the nerican people are at the mercy of liz business" and the only way to ing on the millennium is by knock

bama, finding themselves unable to solidify the farmers against Senator Underwood, who has been friend of the farmer, as his record shows, are concentrating their energies on the labor vote. The only charge they can truthfully make against Senator Un- derwood is that he voted for arbitra- tion of labor troubles and to prevent paralysis of the nations railroad fa- cilities which would bring untold suf- fering to millions of people by strikes among railroad employees. There is nothing else in his record that the most rsbid pro-union man can find fault with.
 Charges that MT. Underwood has been a "tool of the interests" that he seeks to bring back the saloon to Amerlca and that he has done noth- ing in Congress have been repeated ly made, but without shadow of proof being offered. It is a trick of the political spellbinder to let his tongue run away with him. Yet his influence is but temporary. He passes on and is forgotten.
 When intelligent voters weigh men and measures, they act according to what they know and not what they have been told by a stump speaker. There are signs that the voters of Alabama are thinking for thems elves and will pile up majority for Sena- tor Underwood May Il that will in- sure him seat in the Senate as long as he lives CT cares to serve.

From the Boston Transcript
 military football team had challenged a lawyers team and before the game a splendid luncheon was served AS the lawyers did full justice to the viands and indulged freely in champagne, their hosts anticipated rather an easy victory. Or going to the football ground, how ever, the military players were surprised to find a party of fine-looking athletes kicking the ball about.
 Who are those fellows?' one of cAe visitors was asked.
 "Oh." was the reply. that is our play- ing team; we are only the luncheon team, you know.'

Trade Opportunities
 In South America

1N HE general sales agent of the
 4 Gulf States Steel Company, which manufactures steel products at Alabama City, reports South America as magnificently prosperous owing to the business it did with foreign countries during the world war and as ready to do business on large scale in every variety of American product. All that America has to do is to em- brace the offered opportunity
 The outstanding impressions made on this gentleman following per- Isonal visit to practically every inn portant city, both on the east and west coasts of South America are:
 First, the South American wishes to do business with the manufacturer direct.
 Second, facilities for doing business with the South American are the same as those that exist for carry ing on domestic business.
 Third, South America needs and wishes practically every product of every Birmingham manufacturer.
 Fourth, if Birmingham manufactur- CTS are to do business with South America when the necessity arrives, they must do some business now so that when the necessity is at hand the South American will be familiar with the Birmingham product and accus- toned to dealing with the Birming- ham maker. If the manufacture waits until the necessity is on him, owing to slack in the domestic de mand, he will find himself tailing .

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 When news reached Agua Prieta that the Mexican revolutionists had taken Chi huahua City. General Gales said:

! he Auditorium Is
 City's Crying Need

10 BIRMINGHAM likes the best and @O patronizes it, according to it's ability.
 This was emphatically denon- strated by the splendid attendance at the two performances of the Scotti opera company in the Jefferson the atre on Monday. The pity of it was the seating capacity, which was sev- eral times inadequate for the size of the audience that would have heard and enjoyed had there been room for it to gather.
 The other pity of it is that when big event like this takes place, the prices charged must be high for the same reason that the audience is limited If they were not high, those who put up the money to bring these great attractions would lose on the venture. The few who do patronize must pay handsomely for it. The masses, who would like to patronize, are shut out. If Birming- ham had large auditorium more per- sons could hear the big artists and develop their cultural sense at less expense.
 Birmingham's auditorium is an ab- solute necessity The people have done their part. They voted the amount of bonds which they were asked to vote. Birmingham now wishes to hear from the Chamber of Commerce committee with respect to its undertaking to raise half the amount subscribed by the people. The dirt should be broken on the audi torium site at an early date so that construction may have the advantage of the coming summer and autumn.
 It is unbelievable that the citizens of Birmingham who have made money the past few years will fail to respond to the plea of the Chamber of Com merce committee. It should be mere ly a matter of being approached.

procession Of competitors who have gotten ahead of him.
 The National City Bank of New York alone has twenty branch banks in the principal cities of South Amer ica. There is no more trouble on that score than there is in doing business with the Pacific coast.
 It is matter of preparing for the South American trade by nurturing it now. Some of the wise among the district captains of industry are doing this. Those who do not cultivate South America now pending necessity will find it pre-empted by others.
