ALABAMA FOR UNDERWOOD

 the Providence Journals says. "he is man of high standing not only in his own party organization, but in the na- ton without regard to party" and the Atlanta Constitution says, "if by any chance Alabama should not return Os- car Underwood to the Senate, the na- ton would stand aghast at its action!"
 The attempts made to impose upon the intelligence of Alabama people by assertions that Senator Underwood is not what the nation thinks he is, but, On the contrary, that he is a do-noth- ing and a failure If not something worse, have failed to shake this public in its confidence in the ability and honesty of the junior senator. Tues day next will see this confirmed by the vote that will be cast in Alabama for Oscar Underwood-a vote that while complimentary to his statesmanship will also be an absolute condemnation of the unworthy means resorted to with the view of encompassing his defeat.

 Americans of fair minds and reason ably wide culture long since ceased to believe the myth that French society is unsound, that Maxfms typifies Paris, that Paris is a synonym for France, tEat all French women are good game for cynical comment. These same peo- pie recognized in the intermarriage of our soldiers with the French the fact that a strain hitherto comparatively little represented in American life was TOW to be represented in far greater measure; and they were confident most Of them, that it would enrich America If it ever was true that the French had certain graces of temperament to be- stow upon us, it is still true.

As the second hand of his watch marked thirty minutes past eight and the bar rage fell, General Buck stretched his long legs out in front of the first wave, advised his men in no mincing words to follow him and get the damned boches this time, and led off the streaming rush across the open.
 They followed. Who would not with such a leader? On and on they went toward the hot muzzles that famed through the cracks of split walls and behind fallen masses of masonry, on past those muzzles, yelling, cursing, striking down with swinging blows the desperately resisting Germans behind on by the massive quadrangle of biuld- ings in the western edge of the village, past the ravished church and down the crooked main street until they pulled up, where the road pitched down into the Crise valley, and against the last eastern walls of the hamlet on which battered bullets from the German nests clear beyond the valley.

 \ N LABAMIANS certainly are not
 A\ going to invite the flood of criticism that would pour in from the rest of the country if they should make the mistake of rejecting Oscar w. Underwood as their represen- tative in the United States Senate. They have some foretaste of what that crit icism would be.
 The senator is regarded everywhere as a remarkable legislator as a strong leader of men, and as most useful public servant The recent tribute paid him by his colleagues of the Senate is proof that the men who know him most
 intimately turn to him for advice and guidance in a session of great national importance. At this same moment, certain Alabama citizens are doing their utmost to discredit the senator and to drag him down from the high position to which his fellow citizens have promoted him. They would even drag him out of the Senate and put an untried man in his place! It is almost unconceivable that any people would show such lack of judgment, but it is true.

tLeir best side, not their worst, in re- spect of patience, sympathy and broad mindedness. Instances are not lacking ia which the French bride has been to a sort of ostracism be- because of peculiarities of manner or of dress In many cases she has been left to a life of loneliness, perhapse in some populous apartment building, because Of her imperfect English or for other trivial reasons. Do American women need to be convinced that the things which make the French bride seem queer" are often superficial; that as A body French women are fundamen- tally modest, practical and affection ate? Let them meet these homesick strangers half way. and they will per form a service of which they need not be ashamed, and of whose results they need have no fear.
 Ii has been one of the misfortunes of the French bride that she came to us at a time when the traditional triend- shin between her country and America had reached its lowest eDp. No One wants this friendship to be lost for ever. One way of helping to restore it will be to regard the French bride as a woman, not as a curiosity and to "gfve her A chance"

BRYAN'S CREDENTIALS

Bryan in the re- cent. democratic primary because they wanted him to go to San Francisco as a marplot, there is no doubt that many Nebraska republicans voted for him be- cause of his championship of bone-dry prohibition.

Alabama on the Eve
 of a Notable Election

s7H HE campaign which ends today in Alabama has illustrated to striking degree the vagares in poli- tics. Men who run for office must be able to give and take hard blows. Those who let their tempers get the better of their judgment are doomed to defeat Unfair methods may avil for time, but in the end they react on the candidates they were devised tc help.
 The political spellbinder creates a loud noise and even wins applause, but intelligent men do their thinking calmly. They do not permit "smoke screen" of oratory to blind their eyes to the real issues of political con- test.
 Misrepresentation tannot withstand the truth. Men have wen a measure of success by deceiving their fellows, but sooner or later they are found out and when they fall they never rise again. There is probably more buncombe in American politics than anywhere else in the world and it is a marvellous vindication of the repre- sentative form of government under which we live that justice usually prevails and in majority of cases men of ,probity and ability are en- trusted fwith the conduct of public affairs.
 Every decent citizen of Alabama regrets the mud singing that has marred the senatorial campaign, both for the long and short term senator ships. The candidates themselves will regret it when the smoke of battle has cleared away. Abusing the other fellow is not good policy in business or in politics. It creates resentment among all who love fair play, in stead of making friends and staunch supporters.
 When the votes are counted and the election returns made known to.

N AT EMBERS of the Birmingham GVO and Tuscaloosa parties who witnessed the christening of the War rior river self -propellers at St. Louis, and came in contact while in St. Louis with delegates to the annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Waterways Association, have been urged by that organization to lend every effort to have the two national parties declare emphatically for inland waterways de- velopment in their nationl pltforms.
 Every civic orgniztion in Alabama, especially those in Birmingham, should earnestly back this movement. All should personally and by written word seek to pledge the Alabama del- egation. They should enlist the in- terest of any and all who may have to do with the making of the two national platforms.
 Alabama should have a live inland waterways association correlated with those of wider scope. Mississippi and Georgia should act. Tennessee sh ould be interested, for Tennessee will re- ceive the benefits of her own inland waterways development as well as that of the Warrior and Tennessee in Alabama.
 This work should be done now. The inland waterways enjoy present op- portunity of committing the two par ties that, if allowed to pass without a arfiop nav povor IctI1rr

Successful Open Ar
 Community Sing

NN HE first open air sing of the sea
 U son held in Woodrow Wilson park was distinct success.
 It was given as usual under the auspices of the committee of which Mrs. w. J. Adams is chairman, and the new director, Hollis c. Davenny, was in a happy and convincing mood. The songs for everybody were rem dered with spirit and the solos were pleasing and we'll received.
 Few of the community concerts, either indoors or outdoors, have been so enjoyable The crowd was large and enthusiastic, and although the ab sence of a band was felt, the choral ensemble made up in measure, for the instrumental accompaniment and likewise the advertisement music.
 Community song is no longer an experiment. It has come to stay. It was MT. Davenny who achieved large results in Washington by staging and training community opera. He will doubtless do as well here.
 Local musicians say that he is the best equipped community leader ever installed in this part of the country. He will organize small units in diff ferent sections of the city, will teach them four-part songs and will bring the units together in mass chorus from time to time. He is progress sive and all he asks is the co-opera- ton of the people. In the meantime, some way must be found to give Mrs. Adams all the support she asks for
