A READ LEADER.

Mr.. Underwood grows upon lis More and
more he reveals qualities of conservative and
constructive leadership. He has a grip upon
the problems OF government and sanity OF
judgment that prevents his being lured from
the path OF wise enactment by every ignis ia
tuous Of popular legislation
This fact has been notceaby demonstrated
of late In his attitude towards appropriation
bills There Is no temptation so enticing 10
the average representative that of grabbing
appropriations for his district The amount
of money he has secured for this building
that cause he makes the measure of his eff
cheney and worth to his constituency and the
basis OF his fervid appeals for reelection 1t
is difficult for him to understand that the re
preventative has little claim to distinction who
flches from the public purse money that
hastens the insolvency OF the treasury, Few
seem to realize that the deficit ultimately oper
ates to the disadvantage OF the people at large
Not so with Mr.. Underwood The Sherwood
fact that many Democrats voted for 1t a poll
teal expedient. Mr.. Underwood was not one
OF them He realized that the appropriation
greater than the revenues of the nation
justified and he registered his protest against
this extravagant legislation by his vote.
He again espouses an unpopular side, but one
which reveals his wisdom when he opposes the
passage at this session of the Congress of a
Public Buildings bill Says he: II not IN
favor of public buildings bill at this session.
We face an S,00o.0J0 deficit in revenues. We
have passed a pension bill which VIII probably
cost the government 100000. 900 a year If we
pass public buildings bill It will mean an
other large appropriation. It will be neces-
sary to practice rigid economy In all the re-
GUAR appropriation bills If we are to save
money"
This is a mighty good doctrine. The De-
mocrats boosted very loudly OF the program OF
economy with which they started. They will
throw the fat in the fire IL they participate in
| a grab game for local appropriations and their
criticisms OF Republican extravaganza win be
como exceedingly hollow as they fall from their
lips.
What will commend the present Democratic
majority in Congress will be such prudent
legislation In the appropriation Of the public
money as shall convince the country of their
| capacity for economical administration. II the
little statesmen measure their capacity to serve
their constituents by their ability to get hold
| OF appropriations they may please their dis
tricts but the country at large will not rate
| them quite high.

A KIND WORD FOR CHEESE.

Most Of us have been taught that cheese was a
very indigestibe food the chief function OF
which WAS to produce nightmare and terrible
dreams. Perhaps the Bard OF Avon was labor
ing under this delusion when he gave his cole
brated definition OF dreams, "Phantoms of the
night Of indigestion bred"
Latterly scientific investigation has denied
the theory OF our mothers and recommends
cheese to us as a palatable. dgestible and
wholesome article OF diet. Indeed. 1t is said
to be an almost perfect food. The journal OF
the American Medical Association says that a
pound Of cheese has az great food value two

matte of gonty affections
