MINORITY LEADER UNDERWOOD


 From The New York World.
 Senator Underwood's unanimous cleo tion as democratic leader is a hc ppy solution of the long contest between untary withdrawal hastened the de- cision. A member of the House of Rep resentatives during ten Congresses, MT Underwood gained distinction in that the end now of his first term in the Senate, he will find in his new posi- ton an opportunity for the exercise of the abilities that his party sorely likewise find a new reason for re-elect- irg him to the Senate.
 MT. Underwood is not radical demo- crat; he is not even a Wilson democrat In the sense that he is always in accord with the President but he is a demo- crat who can give reasons for the faith that is in him and who always has the courage of his convictions Under his leadership there is reason to hona that when the treaty of peace comes up again there will be greater unity on the part of the democrats and perhans a more successful effort than MT. Hftch- cock was able to make toward a sa factory compromise with such repuh cans as are not committed agains guaranteed peace.

From the New York Times.
 6fNHE good old custom of whipping the editor when you disagree with 0 his opinions has fallen into disuse in most parts of the United States. but in some of our neighbors to the south it persists in & somewhat aggravated form. In the fair and flourishing city of Montevideo, great and prosperous, there is a journal, Fl Pals. which seems to be exceptionally provocative in its com- lments upon eminent statesmen. One Of its two directors, Dr. Washington Bel- tran, was some time ago slain by the hand of ex-President Jose Battle Or donez, who had taken offense at some criticism of his public career: and the same bellicose statesman lately wounded Senator Aguirre, one of the proprietors of the paper.
 The surviving editor, Dr. Rodriguez Lar reta, was not deterred by the fate of his colleagues. Last week Dr. Balthasar Brum, President of Uruguay. delivered an address on inter-American relations which stirred pr. Larreta to take his pen in hand His observations got under the skin of the administration so successfully that the Presidents brother promptly sent him challenge pr. Larreta rejected It with scorn: the President is not physical |ly incapacitated nor enfeebled by age he protested; let him do his own lighting The President took him at his word, and seconds met the next day.

F Trying to Make Ends Meet On Postal Clerks Salary

TIT may or may not be true, as al- U legged by some of his detractors, that Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of Chicago craves publicity, but he made little speech in his court the other day that should be widely quoted
 A postoffice clerk pleaded guilty to the charge of having stolen dia- monds valued at eleven hundred dol lars from the mails. Addressing the spectators, Judge Landis said:
 "Look at this man. He has two children to support. He works from 6:3O o'clock in the afternoon until or 4 o'clock in the morning, and all the government pays him is twelve '. hundred dollars a year! suppose I will have to send him to prison, but { he has been working like a slave and receiving but half of what he i would draw as a private secretary to ] . hod-carrier."
 !, The Age-Herald recently published in editorial urging more pay for rbstal employees. Here is the sad else of one man who could not resist tEmptation. How many other postal | /lerks are in a similar plight, but

UNDERWOOD IN HOUSTON

From The Mobile Register.

The county appears to nave the opinion which the Register s'ail |correspondent finds spread thickiy Ill across the southern end or the staee' from the Chickasawhay to the ona +.hoochee. In Houston 1t is declared th.+ the senator is entirely too valu- .h1a man to sbe dispensed with At this stage of our national history. ne has the experience in Congress ana commands the confidence of his associ- ates in the Senate. and his services were never more needed or lkeiy " he of greater value than now. 1+ w;l, he noted with much interest that the spokesmen for Houston county do not let the argument used py the onnonents of the senator move them' Tbev do not agree that the prohibition ;ssna should be dragged into the cam |

They recognize no aoubt. that a great effort IS maoe eo use prohibition as the footnaii oi po'' t,cs in a game to advance the interests of individuals and not for the gooo oI ,be whole people of Alabama. The Registers correspondent notes that MT. E. H. Hill. solicitor Of the twentieth judicial district, Is prom h,tionist of long standing. Nevertheless he is Senator Underwood's campaign manager. MT. J. R. Young, the banker ;s of the same stripe. MT. Young says .I have always been prohibitionist' and now that we have prohibition writ ten in the constitution, l am inclined to let the question drop. Underwood IS our strongest and best man. Juaee oscar Lewis, one of the best known men in that part of the state is quoted: MT.

Tt was a big event and there were visitors in Atlanta from all of the surrounding territory. certainly enjoyed my visit.
 After seeing those Atlanta streets, I admire Birmingham a whole lot more. Every time I have been in At lanta those morrow streets have made Birmingham seem better to me. I think some sort of monument ought to be erected to the man who laid off Bir- mingham and planned our streets.

 "A big factor in the success of the Salvation Armys home service fund appeal for 1920 is the enthusiasm with which the returned doughboys and gobs are lining up for it," declared J B. Scarborough. '"The Salvation Army is more popular with most of the re- turned service men than any other welfare organization, with the possi- ble exception of the Red Cross Some people credit this popularity to the fact that the Salvation Army lassies made good doughnuts The true reason is that in all my term in service in the army, I never knew the Salva- ton Army workers to hesitate In doing anything for the good of the men, even at the hazard of their lives.

Sight Treatment

T was greatly interested in the &C., counts in The Age-Herald about the Dadeville Banner, of three-scor years ago" said Col. Felix L. Smith of Rock ford. who is in the city attending the State Bar Association
 Tt brought back many pleasant mories, for I knew personally every man mentioned in the two stories I can testify to the truth ot the fact that John N Norris was both jeweler and dentist, and furthermora a worker in wood. I had a raging toothache during by early teens and father sent me down to Mir Norris one night after supper to have it extracted. II timidly knocked and was told by him to step down to his shop, which was on the rear of his lot and bring the box of instruments. I went down, but when l struck ! match and saw that I was face to face with a wooden coffin l lit out for home, and the strange thing being that my toothache was lost on the way"

Proud of Highway


 Birmingham is going to have one highway that it can be proud of. if the rain ever stops long enough for them to finish work on It. That is the road that will lead straight from Bir- mingham to Tuscaloosa" says Law renee Broughton.
 The street car tracks have already been paved from the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic railroad crossing to Popular street in West End. and work is being started on thA space on each side of the car line to the curbstone. As I understand it. the street will be paved out the West End car line as far as the city limits.
 The county has been at work for some time on the road that leads from the city limits into Bessemer, and I understand that as soon as that is finished that work will be started to repair the holes in the highway from Bessemer to Tuscaloosa.
 With a good highway leading from the city nearly fifty miles out into the country Birmingham will indeed feel proud that it passed the recent bond issue to pull the county out of the mud. Besides, the farmers will then have way to get their fresh pro- duce to the people in the city, which will more than pay for the improve ments on the roads in a short time"
