MIR. UNDERWOOD AND MIR. BRYAN

From the Charleston News and Courier.
 We do not know whether it has sim ply become a fixed habit with MT. Bryan, so that he is unhappy unless oc- cupying the role of the common scold, or whether he cannot restrain his jeal
 ous rage when he beholds others sue ceeding where he has failed, but it is highly unfortunate for the democratic
 party that it should have within its camp at this critical period an erstwhile l leader whose one ambition now is to pull down as fast as others upbuild Nobody wants to abuse MT. Bryan or to see him treated with disrespect by 1 those who but little while ago were 1 happy to bask in his smiles, but all
 fair minded men must recognize that his vicious assault upon MT. Underwood was without warrant or excuse, and the democratic house, which knows MT. Un- derwood and trusts him. expressed in no uncertain terins it's confidence in him and it's disapprobation of MT. Mir Bryan's attempt to do him harm.
 l Apparently there is no likelihood that | the incident will provoke the slightest party dissension, although MT. Bryan in the course of his weak and wholly in- effective reply to the severe drubbing which the Alabama Congressman was compelled to give him on the floor of the House on Wednesday states that he expects to keep up his efforts to un- dermine Mir Underwood's influence and to cripple his labors. That will be more unfortunate for MT. Bryan than for Mr. Underwood. If the Nebraska n has any friends who are in a position to advise w4th him they will persuade him that his own best interests as well as the sense of obligation to the party and to the country which ought to animate him alike protest against such course as that he has elected to pur-

Inderwnnd and Bryan

It is not much to say that the en-
 tire press of the country has dis
 cussed Mr. Bryan's charge that MT. Underwood is tainted. with protection because he has not brought in a re- vision of the iron and steel schedule, together with Mr. Underwood's re- ply showing that from the oAtset of the extra session he has favored a revision of iron and steel duties. The newspapers from one end of the country to the other have discussed the matter, and they have almost unanimously praised MT. Under woods course in repelling the attack on his integrity and the great ma- iority have handled MT. Bryan with unkind words. The democratic and independent papers have almost solid ly indorsed MT. Underwood while they scored MT. Bryan, and the far est republican papers have not hesl- tated to say that Mir. Bryans at- tack was unwise and uncalled-for'
 MT. Underwood proved equal to the occasion. He met the attack prompt ly and courageously. He asked Mr. Bryan to disclose the name of his ln- dormant and to act accordingly. His informant proves to have been a snace writer for an Omaha paper, and really Mr. Bryan is left with nothing substantial to back up his state ments relative to Mr Underw ,od and the iron and steel duties. Tl,us far he has not apologized for the wrong he did him. He can not make good his charges in any respect whatever, and if he does not tender MT. Under wood an apology he will stand before his own party as a needless slanderer of it's trusted leader in great down. ward revision movement. MT. Un- derwood, in other words, stands vim dicated, but MT. Bryan does not.

Democratic Candidates

Governor Harmon is a strong can didate for the democratic presidential nomination, and if he does not win in the convention he will probably not miss the honor by many votes" said S. P Watson of Pittsburg. Gov. Wood row Wilson of New Jersey is growing steadily in popularity, but it seems to me from the talk I hear in different parts of the country that Harmon will go into the convention with more strength than Wilson or any other man.
 T have been reading about Under wood as a presidential possibility, and
 it may be that the nomination honor will be his. In case of a deadlock Underwood may be chosen as stand ard bearer, but from the way 1t looks now l think the ticket will be headed either by Harmon or Wilson. The dem- ocrats of Pennsylvania seem to be about evenly divided between those two statesmen, but in New York and Chicago, where business calls me from time to time, Harmon is much stronger than Wilson. The democrats have had no chance of winning since 1892, but in 1912 I believe it is an even bet that the country will witness demo- cratic victory. In politics l am inde- pendent l was never politician, but have voted in every election since 1880 voted for Hancock and since then voted twice for Cleveland. In other presidential elections l voted the re- publican ticket. l haven't made up my mind how I will vote next year, but am inclined to line up with the demo- scrats."

Nusic 4cxt Season

Many fine musical attractions have been announced for Birmingham in the season of 1911-12." said d prominent member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 "The attractions thus far secured consist of recitals by eminent artists. As a matter of course we will have our music festival next spring, but with reasonable effort and cooperation we should be able to provide series of high-class symphony concerts dur ing the late fall and winter.
 T was interested in reading a symphony concert proposition made in the Lobby Column of The Age Her aid few days ago. The person who discussed the orchestra situation sug- gested that we have six symphony con- certs by well known organizations. I think 1t would be better to start with four instead of six. Each concert would cost anywhere from $1200 to s1400, including a distinguished so- loist The receipts should be ample to meet all expenses, but there would have to be a guarantee fund to pro- vide against d possible deficit. If there should be any deficit it is safe to say it would not total for the four concerts more than $700 or $500, and certainly 80 citizens would be willing to sign a guarantee list limited to a liability of SIC each"
