=~ UNDERWOOD AND AL |
'f%at wal a clever piece n'?‘wuv\\:\ -
olééxews' -coming from Qscar Under
wo’oé vesterday to the effect that he
was for Al Smith for president. This
shntild not cause much yporry. It
most* likely will not. |
Uiiderwood was for Al Smith in‘
1934, We never got the idea that it{
Wa"é)wcause Al is a Catholie, (lospile'
thééff'url that most of the Al Smith}
sufiport was Catholic. It was more!
lnr}t;‘j'ely bicause Al Smith was a “wot“}
cagiilillai(\. We think fhat’s Oscar Un- |
dégi»{nod's reason today—secret, haml'
do‘_@. honest-to-goodness reason. Un-|
defibud believes in liguor — Hqum'{
tr&fi"__c. we mean—so far as his ]»(nliii~(
cai gomplexion measures. l
Uiiderwdod was antiklan in his |
1924 campaign. We never heard ul‘f
~aw . anythipg to the effect that he |
writ :lvgainr\t clad ne’ Gael. e v.-u.:l
for Al Smith—and Cian ne (Gael was
Al Smith's secret Catholic political
orémizaxion -ig vet,
(?svur Underwood went to the New
York convention all set to deliver his
vote to Al Smith if it ever came to
where it could be made to count for
auything. But Al Smith never de-j
veloped any strength as an individual,
candidate for the presidency. The'
only uncomfortable hour was that in
which all the opposing forces aimedi
their guns at the klan and tried to‘
have a declaration against the klan
written into the democratic platform
—and failed. Many, many, people
who wanted this piece of foolishness
didn't want Al Smith for the presi
dency. Their chief reason was a
flat—open and above hoard knowl
edge of the fact that the people of
this country would not accept him
and elect him. !
Every time John W. Davis got a!
day’s journey from New York for a}
campaign speech the eastern (.‘atlm-‘
lic democrats made him come back
to New York and kiss the toe of the
pope—and in his running he didn’t
do anything — never carried an
eastern state. The Catholic eastern
democratiz are party traitors—down
here in Georgia such voters are call
:nd “slick tails.” In the local elections
in the east, they are democrats, but
in the national elections, they are re
publicans. One thing would be inter
esting, at least, if Al Smith is ever
made the nominee on the democrat
ticket for the presidency. We would
have a chance to see if the Catholic
east wounld gtill be democratic in the
’nmkmnl el'vcuons.
That's. the kind .of broad-ganged.
party leadéa»Oizear Underwood makes
himslélf \\’li(n{ he supports Al Smith
for the presidency. There isn’'t any
snvfi thing nn a national demaocracy
in the east where A‘l Sn{lth is such
a political lion. They have the politi
cal machinery for isolating them:
gelves and voting control of all offices
in local elections, and in the general
election the democratic organization
forgets to gmu,-,lion. In other words,
eastern democratic sell out. They
swap all rights to democratic claims
in the national election for control
of office locally in local eleciions.
And then, too, Underwood's sup
port of Al isn’t going to put that
presldenttnl boom over., We are
thinking just now of Alabama—Ala
bama alone. Oscar Underyood can
not deliver his home state to Smith
~—couldn't do it if all his future de
lpen(l(-(l upon it. 'This thing was laid
bare in the last race for governor in
Alabama. The winner was an avowed
candidate of a faction whose publish
ed purpose was to keep Underwood
out of controj of the state party ma
|(~.hinm~y. They did it by a pronounc
ed majority, if we have the record
straight.
Everything points in a general way
to a loss of power for Oséar Under
wood. He could do nothing as an ally
of Smith. Indeed, he would not be
any asset for the New Yoik Catholic
l"wet" leader and yyidely advertised
‘asplmnt for the presidency.
ANNULMENT A DISCREDIT
| Bishop William" Manning of the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine in
New York, has issued a statement in
which he severely condemns the Cath
olic annulment of the marriage of
the Duke of Marlborough with Cen
{suelo © Vanderbilt afier thitty- one
years, !
The bishop's statement tcok the
form of an extended mes:age to the
diocese of New York, in which he
said “if marriages are to be declarved
null and void on pleas so unreal as
‘(his. no mar.iage, and no home, can
[be regarded as safe.”
l The bishop criticized bdth the
‘grounds on which the annulment de
l(-isi(m was rendered, and the right ef
{a Vatican court to pass upon the
{\'ali(lity of “a marriage between mem
ll)m's of another communion, solemn
!izod in a Protestant Episcoval church
lin New York. under the laws of the
.l'n‘itud States.”
{ “This assumption of juyisdiction by
‘@ Vatican court,”” he said, *“has seri
lnus implications and will be righily
!!.th‘ni('n! by great numbers of our
f;wuph. Our religious liberty in this
'(uunny must he uncompromisingly
l(iz\‘ivll(h\gl against any such anterfer
cnce, This incident is a sharp ‘
minder of those who love freedom u('i
the importance of maintaining cnm-'j
plete separation of church ang state.” |
Further characterizing the ar‘.ivnl
¢of the Roman rota as “an unwarrant
ed intrusion and an impertinence.”
' Bishop Manning turned to the asser'i
Itions from abroad that the 17-year-
old Consuelo was forced into the mar
riage by her mother, the present Mrs.
0. H. P. Belmont, who sailed yester
day for France. ¢
The Vanderbilt-Marlborough wed
dipg was solemnized in St. Thomas’
Prétestant Episcopal church in 1895.
~ “Many who were present at the
‘marriage,” said the bishop, “and were
’assmziated closely with the Marl
‘boroughs at the time have informed
me that they saw 19 sign whatever
that the bride was acting under any
compuigion, but .quite of the con
itrary." :
“I have the direct testimony of one
who heard hig statements that in view
of the special circumstances attend
ing the marriage, the rector of the
church, Rev. Dr. John Wesley Brown,
}took great care to assure himself that
this young varishioner was actling of
'her own free consent, and that he
was entirely satisfied as to this.
“But the facts of this case are
sufficient as they stand epen in the
irecnrd, and in the light of them the
’de(-ision announced by the Vatican
court is a preposterous one.
| “If there had been forced consent
lin any sense¢ which constituted du
!ress. relief from this should have been
'fmught and the fm'ced consent 'repu
|‘diah'r.'d, at the first practical moement.
4 “llt was not until long after this
\H]le had been divorced and remarried
|tlmt she presetited this plea to the
}uourts of the Church of Rome.
, “The plea of duress made under
'such circumstances” as tlese ater &
!quar!ex' of a century of married life,
and the birth of two children, would
inor, be entertained hy a.n_v civil court
i:md the decree of the Vatican court
‘based on this plea i .()ne which earn

" TALES RETAILED
I By W. P. FLEMING i
e —————————————————————
A tecent dispatch announcing the
death of an old gentleman on his
one hundred and seventh birthday,
volunteered the further information
that the deceased had been an in
cessant pive-smoker, and the pre
diction that but for that habit he
micht have lived to a really ripe old
age. Sounds reasonable too. to an
anti-tobacco ecrusader. ““Uncle Joe”
Cannon more recently died at ninety
odd years of -age; bu_t he smoked
cigars, That’s different. Now Col. W.
H. Dorris is always attached to his
pipe, or his pipe to him. Take your
ch’oice.l'So that we are hoping, for
reason, that Col ‘D‘o'rrisl will nof:
‘have to take his tinal departure of"
these realms in less than 107 years.
If <o, his pipe will be left—a relic
of comfort, and odorous jncense—
very. Something aptly called “re
thains.” ; '
But let us hark back to the days
of Col. Dorrig’ arrival in Cordele:
when his shingle cleft this malarial
atmosphere with the announcement
that a practitioner of law had landed
here, He was at that time, probably
for economic reasens, almost but not
quite, a total abstainer with respect
to tobacco. He was also a member in
good standing eof the Epworth
League. His joining !the League:was
a first official act, *so to ‘speak.
Prompted by no ulterior motive, it
vou know what I méan, And, with a
decree of promptnéds almost mateh
ing his own. Dorris was elected as
delecate to the firit State Epworth
League Convention' foon thereafter
‘to be held at Ague*ri(:us. Joe Perry
‘was also a delegate) and Joe was on
conviction and practically a dyed-3
in -the- wool enemy ¢of tshacco
Madame Nicotine had no crarms for
;Jm" She made him”sick. Same wiLh‘
Dorris, only he now and then’ {oll!
from grace or something, which Joel
didn’t.
To be brief in these annals, Jne'
prevailed on Dorris to prepare and
introduce in the Convention a dras
tic resolution to the effect that all
‘'members of the League s-culd be
- called upon to pledge themsclves not
to use tobacco in any form, When
Dorris read the resolution to that
vast assemblage, Joe was sitting just
‘behind him, full of enthusiasm and
things. Dinner had been served on
the ground. When a standing af
firmative vote was called for, Dorris
stood up. Nobody else did. They sat,
Joe included. Anyway, that was the
impression made on Dorris, and he
g 0 reported. Joe had simply been
paralyzed. The result of the vote got
his goat. To say the least, there wus
no sort of doubt about the fate of
the Dorris Perry anti-tolbaqco resolu
tion. Sudden explosion of a bomb—
That was about the effect. There was
a brief period of silence—ciamm;,
awful silence; and Dorris turned on
Joe with a look that matched all the
rest of the awfulness and solemnity
of the occasion. Presently Dr. XMonk
arose and made some remarks touch
ing the necessity of cducation as 2
means of accomplishing reforis, He
also, - complimented ‘the gplendid
young man’’ who had so ezn'.nf_-stly.
advocated the reform under precent
advisement, = | Gos gasco W il
Just what }mr,‘pen'eldl right n'way be
tween Dorris and Joe has' never
been known. quris did leave the
house very b}'oflipflyfléé did Joe, who
C()l'l"("(;‘;}’..y'}in‘L(.,‘T])l'(:tL'\’l Dorris’ cmi\'"-ht
ic gesticulations to the effect that
both had urgent business The husi
néss could not ke transacted by eith
er alone outside. It may be sziy to
infer that the business was not of a
pale, nious cast. Suifice it that the
gsettiement was evidently final and
satisfactory, as the cordial relations
of friendship, theretofore exisiting
between the two, continued undis
turbed, so far as ever 6bscrved'.
,Probably each of the two 1'(‘}\)1‘111(.“1'5
shouldered his part of the bl:"'.m_o;
if any, attaching to the campaign, .
If so it maybe saved Joe's life. But
to the voint: That day Dorris’ ‘anti
tobacco sentiments oozed. Imme
diatcly across the street I'romv where
the scttlement was effected, was a
small grocery.store.. Thither Dorris
repaired, and amde investment of
five cents in a triplet of Virginia
cheroots. Andthereby = rangs' the
tale. Virginia chevoots have gone up
—lots of them—since that day. At
tached to them was Dbrris. And, by
precess of evolution or devilution
his attachment is now to his pipe, or
hig pipe to him—take your choice.
Aiong with other pipe comforts, he
has thet of know,i_ngwghat what 'ne‘
and Joe tried to do to that Americus
convention thirty years agn, the
North Georgia Conference i 3 {rying
to do now to its young preachers.
Pioneers—that’s what Dorris and
Joe were, Communities have built
monuments to less heroic citizens.
Suggestion is made to any of Col.

Dorris’ numerous friends who may
contemplate making him a Christmas
gift of smoking tobacco, that he
prefers old English Curve Cut, for
the good and sufficient reason‘that
it doesn’t gum up his pipe so bad as
some krands. His closest friends and
associates are as interested as ‘he
can possibly be in eliminating the
statie. They prefer, of course, to do
this by peaceable means. 1...- ~\"
