WET QUESTION
CHIEF CONCERN
AT CONVENTION
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

vets are desirous of having him in
the convention. But his seat was
declared vacant by his State con-
yention and he can only be seated
by a vote in the national conven-
tion.
As the vets are expected to vote
enmasse for him both in committee
end on the floor Of the convention
the vote will give a fair idea of the
two factions.
Fear Woman Vote.
An argument which is being used
against the insertion of even
moderately wet plank today was
outlined to me by Representative
Rainey, whose sympathies have al
ways been regarded as rather with
the liberal element.
IF we adopt even moderate
criticism of the Volstead law the
Republicans have it in their power
to run over US with the woman
vote" says he.
AT present they have no inten-
tion of permitting the ratification of
the Nineteenth Amendment in time
to permit women to vote next fall.
But if we should put ourselves in a
position that would enable them to
raise the moral issue against US they
could call the Connecticut legisla-
ture together in two weeks ratify
the amendment and rally the entire
woman vote against u.s."
Claim Huge Following.
The suggestion Is a plausible one,
and is carrying much weight. The
vets, however. insist
they will carry their fight to the
floor of the convention, and are
claiming today to have between 500
and 700 votes. II their claim is well
founded they can, of course. carry
their point, but I find few outside of
the determined wet camps who con-
cede them so large = following.

Interior Secretary Abolishes
Signature Requirement
For Pensioners.

Secretary of the Interior John
Barton Payne, champion of Uncle
Sans pensioners, came forward to
aid them again yesterday.
He entered ar order making 1t
unnecessary to have two witnesses,
or any witness, sign the Endorsement
on a pension check except in cases
where a pensioner signs by mark.
Four times a year pensioners were
required when they indorsed check
to have two witnesses sign with
them. AS there are more than 700.-
600 pensioners on the roll, 1t meant
$500, 900 signatures, and twice that
many, or 5.600,000 names of wit
.nesses.
This meant an immense amount Of
trouble and annoyance to pensioners
and bankers who cashed their
checks.

 T note from an Associated Press dispatch that President Lewis of the i United Mine Workers of America has
 appointed Von A. Bitner, former presi-
 dent of the United Mine Workers in the Pittsburg district to lead the striking miners in Alabama said Walter Fowlkes.
 T pass up the temptation to com lnent upon the suggestiveness of this gentleman's name or to raise the query as to how acceptable his coming will
 be to the local leaders of the strike,
 whom he is supposed to supercede. The point make is this: Alabamians have always resented outside interference lin their affairs holding, as do all peo- pie of the sturdy Anglo Saxon stock, Ito the right to solve their own prob lems-
 q gather from the daily papers that the so -called general strike is all ready a failure. but if this were other wise, it's chance of success will cer- tainly not be improved by the advent of Mir Won A. Bitner to take a hand in it."

< k x Baneful Influence Of the Silk Shirt

1N HE silk shirt is not yet on the
 II wane-at least> in Chicago's stockyards. At hearing on an in- crease of pay demanded by stock ward "Beau Brummels" it was brought out that they were wearing SIS silk shirts, $50 suits and $10 shoes.
 Successive increases in wages are needed to meet a growing taste for luxuries. That seems to have been the history of nearly all the contro- versies between the better paid class of workmen and their employers. Be- fore the era of high wages it was req sonable to suppose that silk shirts were unknown to the stockyard la borers. The silk shirt exercises a pernicious influence. As soon as a man begins wearing one he gets ex- pansive ideas, whether he is in the packing business, a plumber, brick layer or what not. The photograph, the player-piano and the automobile are concomitants of this airy and often violently colored garment. Psy- chologists might we'll devote some of their attention to tracing the rela- tion between silk shirts and the na- tional extravagance which has started thousands of people, formerly thrifty and hard working, toward idleness and bankruptcy.
 The Chicago case Is not an isolated one. It is being duplicated in all parts of the country. Regardless of the merits of the stockyard laborers' de- mand for an increase in pay, it is bad policy to let silk shirts and $50 suits be injected into the proceedings. Even if it doesn't prejudice the general pub lie against the oppressed workers, it is apt to hurt the feelings of "white collar" men.

Picked Right Man

"The Baptists of Alabama are setting new precedent in the selection of D. K Green, who recently rendered his resignation as superintendent of banks to Governor Thomas E. Kilby in order to accept the position as secretary treasurer of the executive board of the Alabama Baptist State Convention" said P. c. Ratliff. MT. Green, while layman. has had large experience in work, being active in his local church, association, state and Southern Baptist conventions. He brings to the office a rich experience as an executive, and the fact that he will have charge of the finances will mean that they are. in the hands of an expert. The growing contributions to all the various activities of the denomi- nation, and particularly in connection with the $75,ooO,0 ,00o campaign. called for a man used to handling money"

Timidity Will Not
 Provide for Posterity

117E are inclined to regard pos
 wv terity in the light of the present. We fail utterly to realize how rapidly the world grows. The past appears not to aid us. We are as afraid of burdening posterity as tboucb it were an infant never to develop into an adult.
 Forty years ago Alabama had a little over one million inhabitants. Ten years ago it had more than two millions, In the thirty years 1t had doubled in the numbers and necessi- ties of it's people.
 Forty years ago there were less than a thousand looms in Alabama cotton mills, and they converted less than fifteen hundred bales of cotton into cloth. In thirty years there were seventeen times more looms and they converted more than two hundred thousand bales of cotton into cloth. Last year the Alabama mills used nearly four hundred thousand bales of cotton.
 That is how we grow. How neglect ful we have been of the duty which the certainty of this growth imposed on us through the decades. Contem- plated in the light of the foresight that we should have exercised, the lack of a paved highway system in Alabama long before this is noth- ing short of absurd. The failure to equip our port at Mobile and to de- velop our inland waterways would dub us criminals but for the plea of inability to think ahead.
 Hereafter the past should guide us to the future. Be not afraid of pos- terity. It will be fully able to shoulder all the burdens which timid forebears will screw thefr courage to impose.
