A Mobile Mans View

maintained, and the government placed on an economical. democratic basis
 There is no man in the United States of any political party, better or as well qualified to discuss, decide and legislate on all of these important questions, as our matchless leader and brilliant states man, Hon. Oscar W. Underwood. He has the courage of his convictions. He is as true as the needle to the pole in the advocacy of right and justice.
 He is as firm as the Rock of Gibraltar in his support of the principles of de- mocraey.
 No state or party ever had a better. truer and abler representative, and every patriotic Alabamian, who loves his state and party, should give him his earness support.
 In all probability he will be the nomi- nee of the national democracy for Pres- dent in 1924. With his acknowledged abil- ity, experience, courage, vision, wisdom and cor1sumate statesmanship, to attempt to defeat him for reelection as senator will be as suicidal politically as it would have been to remove Washington from the command of the American army in the revolutionary war, or Lee from the command of the Confederate army in our cival war, and rep '1ced them with un- known and inexperienced subalterns
 From tvery stanopoint Senator Under wood is a consun.ae leader and match less statesman.
 See what a grace sits on his brow, Hyperion curls, the front of love himself, An eye like Mars to threaten and com
 mand,
 station like the Herald Mercury, High seated on heaven-kissing hill A combination and form indeed Where every God did seem to set his
 seal,
 To give the world assurance of man" J. T. GORMAN.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Not only is our distinguished senator, Hon. Oscar w. underwod, an honor to Alabama. but also to the south and to the United States.
 He is unquestionably the ablest and most constructive statesman in the demo- crotic party today. and possesses every qualification to make an ideal President.
 At the present time his valuable serv- ices are absolutely indispensable to Ala bama, and to the national democracy
 Every patriotic and intelligent demo- crat in the state knows and must admit this
 There are more vital and important questions both national and international, requiring legislation and solution, per haps, than in the history of the United States.
 Wise immigration laws are imperatively demanded.
 Anarchy and socialism not only threat en democratic institutions, but the de- struction of all property and government, except the autocracy of Russian bolshe- vikism.
 The labor problem, with it's threatened strikes and complications, involves our eptire transportation and communication system, and affects the very foundation of our government and civilization.
 The adjustment and reconstruction Of the complicated problem resulting from the war, the ratisication of the treaty Of peace, the League of Nations, and our future position in the affairs of the world require the best knowledge, ripest expe- rience and wisest statesmanship.
 Then, there are numerous national do- nestle questions demanding legislation and solution.
 Local self-government must be pre- served, the rights of the states must De

THE SUGAR OUTLOOK.


Production Of sugar Ii slowly in
creasing in our country and Europe
but consumption is also gaining and
prices of sugar will not fall much,
is the opinion OF experts.
The increase in European acreage
is reported at 13 per cent over last
year while the acreage IN our coun-
try has risen to over 900, 900 acres
European beet acreage in 1894
totalled 5,434,395, which fell off dur
ing the war to 100000 acres, and
this accounts for the world sugar
scarcity.
Sugar production in Germany this
year rises from 100000 metric tons
in 1919 to 1,115,500 metric tons in
1920.
There should be some decline in
sugar prices but the world shortage
is far from being overcome.
The labor cost of making sugar
and high cost of all raw material
will prevent sugar ever going back to
pre-war prices.
Prohibition of the liquor traffic
and consequent Increased use of con-
fectionery and sweets in all forms is
also a price factor.
