No Valid Objection
 To Senator Underwood

TIT is interesting to observe the tao U tics being employed against Sen ator Underwood by his opponents in Alabama, who are chiefly domineer- ing labor leaders, prohibition dicta- \ tors and their followers.
 These people are able to see only two outstanding facts in Senator Un- derwood's career He voted against permitting railroad employees to strike and starve the country into submission to their will and would not obey the mandate of the prohi- bition bosses. His attitude in both finstances was consistent. In both he had the courage of his convictions and refused to change them for po- litical expediency, although knowing full well that his stand would create strong opposition to his reelection. For quarter of a century MT. Underwood has been a member of Congress. He was leader of the House and is going to be min ority leader of the Senate. He has enjoyed for many years the esteem and con fidence of his colleagues. He has long been commanding figure in national affairs. He is the only southern man since the civil war who has been seriously regarded as g presidential possibility, and who may yet go to the White House, receiv- ing the highest honor the American people can bestow. He is known as a hard worker. Few members of Con gress have given closer attention te their official duties.
 During his public career MT. Un' \ 6erwood has done much for Alabama and the nation. But everything clst 1 he has accomplished is ignored ol 1 forgotten in the heat of political campaign. One of the ablest ner ] Alabama has produced since recon i struction days must be defeated, crJ ] his foes, merely because he declined !, to accept their dictation.
 Fortunately, thers are intelligent people in Alabama, who are able tc lsee two sides of question. There Ire many prohibitionists among

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 The Anti-Saloon Leageu announces that it will enter the presidential fight and will not support any candidate who is not distinctly" dry and will also look with some suspicion" on .selev- enth hour converts"

 Bill Grigsley's drug store seems to be the center
 'Is it sort of civic forum?"
 No, but it's where most of the town losfers do their reading without it's cost ing them anything. Bill says when some body occasionally wants to buy maga- zine or newspaper he first has to take it away from a news stand cootie.'

Seeing Is Believing

Our Ford running on the rails ere ated great deal of excitement" re- marked v. E. Whitaker of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad. Chief Engineer of Maintenance Bean had steel tires put on Ford automobile and rides over the road in this on his inspection trips. We left Birmingham Thursday morning and am not exaggerating when I say that every school along the route we passed turned out to see us.
 "At one small place where we stopped, a tall. lank countryman
 mouth agape, walked up, eyed the ma chine critically. walked around it a couple of times and then, in tone o1 1 disgust, said, Huh! It ain't nothing but damned Ford
 With that he left us and the crowd | followed him."

Early Summer Will
 Follow Late Spring

A BACKWARD spring in this lat AA itnde is usually followed by an early summer.
 The home gardens are late, and the exsessiv rains have made the farmers late in blowing. Planting will be correspondingly late, but seasonable weather in April will cause the far mer to get well ahead.
 Large acreage if all food crops should be the rule. Even if labor on the farm is short, production should be equal to that of last year. Intensive cultivation is as much needed now as it was during the war, when the country had to feed the allies as we'll as feed itself. With corn and the minor crops thriving, 1920 will be year of abundant harvests and large finan- cial returns. This will be an ex- ceptionally fine fruit year.
