either because he has caught the
infection of the impatient or because
he thinks the impatient are in the
majority.
Mr.. Underwood's brand of democ-
racy is very wholesome and very re-
freshing to contemplate in these days
of political confusion. 1t is bound
to attract the countrys attention,
and it can scarcely fail to command
the serious consideration of demo-
cratic national convention, assem-
bled for the purpose of nominating
President and a Vice-President and
declaring platform of principles
And it will not fail of remark in this
connection that Mr.. Underwood's
faithful adherence to proved demo
cratic principles has not in any meas
ure detracted from his efficiency as
a servant of the public interests and

dence in the Democratic party

Potash Discovery.

There is an indefinite report that
potash has been discovered in the
United States. This follows very
soon after the decision of the Ger
man government that upholds the
potash monopoly in that country
and subjects it to government con-
troll. Germany has something of a
corner on potash and has been OBJ
durate to both appeals and threats
from this country concerning the

POStOffice Affairs.

Politician Hitchcock has been sue
ceeded by business Man Hitchcock,
who has, for the first time since
1888, caused the pOstoffice depart
ment to show surplus instead of
deficit. And this has been done
even when important extentions have
gone on throughout the service. In
Mr.. Hitchcock's term, in March,
1909, nearly three thousand new
rural mail routes have been estab-
lished. The postal savings bank
system has been placed in all the
presidential postoffices, and will soon
be established in 10000 fourth class
offices. The deposits now aggre-
gate in these banks 81, 100000 and
Mr.. Hitchcock estimates that they
will go to $40,O00,00O by July 1
next.
The Postmaster General urges
Congress to give the people another
convenience in the form of a parcels
post. He urges Congress to authO-
rize a start on the rural routes and
in the cities that have delivery by
carriers. 1t can later be extended
to all railway lines. '"To bring the
issue clearly before Congress" says
the Postmaster General, "three items
of $4,000 each have been inserted
in the estimates of the postal serv-
ice, two of these items to cover the
initial expense of introducing a par
cells post on rural routes and in the
city delivery service, respectively,
and the third item to meet the cost
Of an Investigation looking to the
final eXtention of the service to the
railways and other transportation
lines. If Congress will grant with
out delay the desired authority and
provide the necessary appropriation,
it is believed that before the end of
another year satisfactory parcel
post can be organized on rural routes
and in cities with a carrier service,
thus paving the way for the final
step in the organization of a general
parcel post.
In conclusion the Postmaster Gen
eral pleads for a reimbursement of
rates on second class mail. He is
getting ready to urge Congress to
adopt a one-cent postage for letters.
This would indeed be the crowning
act of a great career as Postmaster
General His entire service shows
how effective a business man pur-
suing business methods can be in a
government department. In about
two years he had made the depart
ment self sustaining, while extend
ing it's work more rapidly than was
ever done before. -Birmingham

Oscar UnderwOod'S Democracy.

In an interview with the New
York World recently, Mr.. Underwood
set forth his views on tariff legisla-
ton. II do not believe" said Mr..
Underwood that there is any more
justification for the protection of
the manufacturers profits than there
is for the protection of the profits of
the banker, the merchant, the farm
er Or the wages of labor. To pro-
tect profits is to protect inefficiency,
and to strangulate rather than to
develop Industry" He would, there
fore bring the tariff down to an alb
solute revenue basis, but he would
not do that so suddenly as to jar the
whole fabric Of our business, which
has been built upon the protective
principle through a period of many
years. 81 recognize" he says, chat
for nearly SO years we have built
the manufacturing interests of the
United States up on stills. We have
got to get down to earth again. I
would regret to see-indeed I will
do all | can to prevent any violent
action that would destroy business
enterprises; but I am very firmly
ton on the tariff represents an eco
nOmic truth. We must abandon a
system of protecting profits and re-
turn to a system that develops fair
and honest competition. To reach
this result | prefer to lower the
tariff wall by taking the bricks off
the top of the wall rather than dy-
namiting the structure at the bot
TOM"
That is a plain straight definition
of the doctrine of a tariff for reve-
nue. only, and of a practical method
for making it effective without I'M
due disturbance to the business of
the country. Mr.. Underwood's posi-
ton on the tariff is very different
from that of Governor Foss, of
Massachusetts, for example. who in
his speech at the st. Andrews So
ciety dinner in Charleston last week,
offered his Progressive Democracy
idea of a removal of the "superflu-
Gus protection" from the tariff. Mr..
Underwood would destroy the pro-
tective principle; Mr.. Foss would
preserve it. Mr.. Underwoods doc
trine is democracy; Mr.. Foss' doc
trim is republicanism.
Mr.. Underwood does not find it
necessary to resort to new tangled
notions of government to bring about
reforms. He believes the American
people are capable of self govern
mnt in accOrdanc with the principles
of the founders of the republic. He
is utterly and unalterably opposed
to the initiative and referendum and
to the recall. 81 believe" he says,
that the people of the United States
when they take the time and the
trouble to do so, can elect honest
and efficient men to represent them;
and | do not believe that the people
of the United States have either the
time or that they will take the in
finite trouble necessary to carefully
examine and enact legislation or re-
ject dangerous legislation if it is
submitted to them to vote on direct
ly. / believe that all the evils of to-
day that we complain of can be rem
edied by and through representative
government. That is the sound,
sane doctrine of political econo-
mist, the sort of doctrine that used
to be taught by DR.. Woodrow Will
