THE PARTY STEWARDSHIP

It is unfortunate that the Demo- cratic leadership in Alabama should be formally vested in those who place op- portunism above the good of the party, and who would supplant with autocratic methods the principles on which the party is grounded. There are signs that the good sense of some members of the state committee is re- asserting itself, and that there is praiseworthy reluctance on their part to proceed under the provisions of the undemocratic presidential primary law enacted by the last legislature, appar- ently under the temporary spell of party leaders seeking their own ad- vancement and not the good of the party.
 It has been we'll established that the constitutionality of the law itself is open to grave question, and that it is legally as we'll as morally unwise to proceed in accordance. with its pro- visions. The determination of Chair man Evins to go ahead on the ground that the committee has the authority to order the primary, even though the law is invalid, is superficial and ig- nores the fundamental objection that the plan is contrary to the principles and traditions of the party and is con- ceived for purposes quite otherwise than the good of the party.
 Indeed, it seems more and more inevitable that the party will be di- rectly injured if the plan is consum- mated and the primary held, just as the party within the state has already been impelled into divided allegiance. It is time for a more intelligent di- rection of the party welfare in Ala bama to manifest itself and to thrust into the background those influences that are primarily self-seeking. The good of the party could be the only honorable objective of those to whom that good has been committed as a trust. If any other objective has been detected as an influential and even a deciding factor, then the steward ship has been betrayed.

PEOPLES FORUM
:. Alabama's State Song

',ro the Editor of The Age Herald: ;AaIn a recent issue of your paper T noticed that some one was regret ting that Alabama has no state song. | was amazed to see such d statement. Then comes correction by the president of the Federation of Music Clubs that Alabama has a state song: that in 1917 Mrs. Victor Hanson offered a prize to any one who would furnish musical sitting to the poem Alabama" written by Miss Julia. Tutwiler, which prize was won by Mrs. Gussen of Bir- -mingham. Miss Tutwiler's poem, Alabama was prophetic of the greatness that was to come to the , state. At it's writing, mines of coal, iren. graphite and marble were hardly discovered. The great indus trial city of Birmingham was not even begun to be built; this poem was set to music more than twenty five years ago, Air-national hymn Of Austria, by Haydn. and was adopted by the public schools of the state as their state song. I have heard Alabama" sung hundreds of times by this air. never heard Mrs. Gussen's adaptation. No doubt 1t is beautiful. but why change from the air selected by the author? I will add my plea to that of Mrs. Mccarthy, president of music clubs, and ask that the words of Ala b,tma" be memorized and the song sltng not only by its public schools and colleges of the state, but in state and national conventions of Fed erated Clubs, patriotic and civic or ganizations. Nothing could incul- cate state pride more than the senti- ments expressed in this beautiful song. Let the Boy Scouts learn it, ,9et the boy bands of Alabama, who ,haye become famous throughout the South, play this grand old air of Hadyn. Along with Dixie" let it become so familiar and beloved that when the strains of Alabama" are waited on the Southern breezes, it will arouse the same enthusiasm as spjrie."
