dreamed that he might some day be Pres ident or a near President. The responsi- hility of party success has been thrust upon his shoulders and he prefers that to being President just now.
 Tt is unfortunate for MT. Underwood and the party that he lives in the south." I have heard this expression many times In Washington. But the expression is al ways from a southern man. We lack self confidence in the south. There Is no legitimate reason for such argument. If MT. Underwood. southern man, can lead the party and cement 1t as no other man has been able to do since the war to the utter confusion of the enemy, why is it that geographical location should affect him in assuming the larger leadership of the party?
 "This Is Time for Work"
 A newspaper correspondent called on Mr Underwood In his office yesterday and asked him for an interview on the political outlook What effect will the work of the present session of Congress have on the coming election7'' asked the writer
 This Is not the time for any discussion of what may happen In the fuiure,' re- piled Mr. Underwood slowly. carefully.
 This is a time for work Talking will do
 no good and l prefer to say nothing for
 publication at this time''
 That is Oscar Underwood. He be-
 lioves in doing things and then de-
 clines to talk about it. MT. Underwood
 is doing more actual work than any
 other man In Congress and his name
 seldom appears in the newspapers in
 connection with anything he has said off the floor. He is one of the ca asiesi
 men in Washington for the newspa-
 per man to approach. He greets you
 with a smile always and will discuss
 most any question as friend to friend
 and will often take you into his con- 1 fdence, but he does not desire pub | licity.
 The man who has not seen MT Un- derwood working at his desk, in the l committee and on the floor of ehe 1 House, can have no just appreciation of his ability and his power to lead. It may not be necessary to nom | mate Hr. Underwood next year His | leadership will not wane.

Are Records Now of Foreign
Tin Plate Imports to the
United States.

WASHINGTON. Oct 6.-Tin plato
imports arc making their lowest re-
cords in many years, according to q
statment just prepared by the Bureau
Iof Statistics, Department of Com
merce and Labor. 1t shows that the
total quantity OF tin plate imported
into the United States during the
month of August was but 657,263
pounds, valued at $25,ss9. against
9,12O,622 pounds, valued at S2T4,652
in August OF last year. In July, 1911,
the quantity imported was 527,72O
pounds, valued at $21,971, against
24,17O,637 pounds, valued at $715,5s5
in July, 1910. Thus the total quantity
of the tin plates imported in the
months of July and August, 1911, has
been but l,1S4.9S3 pounds, valued at
$47,s6O. against 33,291 ,259 pounds,
valued at s99O,237 in the correspond
ing months of last year. Meantime
the exports Of domestic tin platea
have advanced from about two million
pounds in July and August, 1910, to
twenty-three million in July and Au-
gust, 1911.
This heavy decline in the importa-
ton of tin plates is understood to be
due chiefly to the large advance in
prices OF this article in foreign
countries. The average import price
of tin plates in July, 1911. was ~
cents per pound, against three cents
per pound in July of last year, and
in August, about four cents per
pound, against three cents per pound
in August year ago. Most of this
tin plates imported in recent years
has been for use in the manufacture
of cans and other articles used in
the export trade. in which case nine
ty-nine per cent of the duty was re-
funded under the drawback law. The
marked advance in price of tin plates
abroad has apparently led to the
substitution Of domestic tin plate for
the foreign article in the manufacture
of large proportion of the cans and
other articles for use in expectation.
The causes of this change in the
of tin plates in our for
eign commerce are stated by En
authority on the subject in response
to an inquiry by the Bureau of Sta
tistics, as follows:
"a number of reasons have con-
tributed to the changes in the sta
tlstIcs referred to- The price of tin
plates advanced very materially /
abroad, owing to the high price of
sheet bars, augmented by the enor'
nous increase on the continent and
all over the worlt in the demand for (

tables. fish, meats, and oil products.
