West With Underwood

Charles SumLcr formerly of Birming ham. and now general manager of the Moose Smelling and Refining company of Alma, Colo. has returned to this city with good news concerning the popularity of Congressman Underwood in the far west.
 Live and dAlet 1ive,'' he says. lis the motto of the west, and inasmuch as Underwood's efforts in reference to the tariff is in accordance with that motto, the people of the west are fast Becoming enthusiastic in the interest of the Alabama congressman for the presidency.
 We have organized an Underwood bers, and we are preparing to swing the west into the Underwood column. We believe that Underwood was born for the presidency and that he will eventually occupy that commanding po- sition.
 Tn tho west, the people do not ask you from what state you come, how much money do you possess or who your father was. They ask. on the other hand, if you can deliver the goods?' Therefore they do not con- sider Underwood an Alabamian, but an American, and one who can deliver. Underwood is the stamp of man the west delights in honoring."

Presidential Politics

'I ana a democrat, but my travels re- gently have taken me into republican strongholds, and I have heard more re- publican talk, therefore. than demo- cratic" said Phillip ]. Ashley of Chs- oago.
 . within the past eight weeks I have been in the far west, and the majority of the people in that section called themselves Roosevelt republicans. have no idea which will be the stronger in the republican convention, ex-Presi- dent Roosevelt or President Taft. think it safe to say that Taft is strong CT in the east than Roosevelt. And the fact that the President is going to make a fight for the nomination makes the situation extremely interesting. A month ago I thought that President Taft had a walk over for the nomina- tion, but now Roosevelt is unquestion- ably very strong.
 As a democrat, all I want to see is the best vote getter at the head of the democratic ticket Some think Under wood would be the best man to oppose the republicans. Others talk strongly
 in favor of Woodrow Wilson, but that is on the assumption that President Taft will be the republican standard bearer. Should Roosevelt be the re- publican candidate. the democrats would certainly have to work like beavers tc beat him.

Germany's Parliamentary Campaign


 A new reichstag is to be chosen in Germany tomorrow, and very deep interest is taken in the result. The present reichstag is made up of 112 conservatives, 104 centerists who are clerical and Catholic, 56 national lib erals, 90 radicals who would be called insurgents in the United States, 51 socialists, and 32 Poles, Hanoverians and non-partizans. The point at stake is the socialist vote. Some observers say the socialists will elect 100 mem- bers.
 This seems improbable because the empire is sadly gerrymandered. It was districted in 1871, and the dis tricting in unfair and in many in stances outrageous. The cities and industrial districts have gained pop ulation while the agricultural dis tricts have stood still. And yet the Emperor refuses to listen to any re- districting proposition. Every male over 25 years of age is voter and if the country were fairly districted the socialists would elect over 100 mem bers. As the districts stand they will be outvoted by the rural districts which do not accept anything modern A successful candidate must have a majority in his district. A plurality means a bye election within two weeks between the two highest candidates.
 All told there are in the reiehstag 397 members, and if the socialist elect 100 members Chancellor won Bethmann-H Hollweg will have to form new alliances in order to control the German parliament. The bloc sys- tenn prevails, and there are about a dozen parties in the country. The so- cialists never join the government bloc. They are always "agin" the gov ernment. They are thought to desire republic in the long run. To man the socialists are opposed to the coun- try's high tariff rates, and they will fight determinedly for lower rates as 
 a means of securing lower cost of living. In this respect their battle is not unlike the battle of the democ- Tracy in this country. They also de-

From the New York Evening World.
 One of hte perils of travel in this land is hotel fare LaFollette is i'll from pto- maine poisoning contracted on his speaking tour. Togo was laid up at Boston by acute indigestion. Two emi- nent travellers have just succumbed to this malady. When Thurman was can didate for vice president he collapsed from stomach ache while addressing Q New York audience. When Adlai Stew enson was candidate for vice president he suffered here from the same mis- placed hospitality. Speaker Husted of the New York assembly was killed by western convention fare Senator Lodge was prostrated with stomach trouble in his fight for reelection. A federal judge in the Carolina circuit travels with tent rather than shorten his life by southern hotel cooking.

"FROM UNDERwooD's TOWN

From the Washington Post
 From Underwoods town" This was the. inscription on the register of the Ra- leigh, following the name of T. II. Friel, prominent man of Birmingham, Ala MT Friel was bubbling over with en- thusiasm for the chairman of the commit tee on ways and means as a presidential candidate, and hastened to assure every one he met that the boom for the House leader was not merely in the nature of a compliment to favorite son, but a real and determined effort to nominate him.
 ''The people of Alabama are for Under wood, and so are the people of other southern states,' said Mir. Friel Ala bama delegates are not going to the con- vention with the idea of making trades after she first or second ballot, but with the intention of stick ing to Underwood until all the apples are peeled. We in Alabama believe that Underwood is presidential timber. He has developed capacity as leader in the House that has not been surpassed In years. He is fit for the job of President, and if New York and one or two other northern states will give their support to him, there is nothing that can prevent his nomination.

chanical trades with the highest
 efficiency. Toward the close of his life MT. Crane had much to say
 against classical institutions. He
 wrote vigorously against the college
 as it exists today. He was man of strong intellect himself and he be- lieved strongly in education, but his opposition to the higher institutions made him appear sometimes eccentric, for thoughtful and successful men in every department of life have, as a rule, a high appreciation of culture which only a well conducted college can give. Mr. Crane, it seems, had opinions of his own on. the subject of education, and if he did not contribute to college endowment funds, all must agree that he did noble work in his manual training schools.
 He was one of the first of the large manufacturers to introduce the CO., operative system for the benefit of his employees. He did not call it by that name, however He preferred the simpler phrase Christmas gifts. !" For years it had been his custom to distribute at Christmas time to all his men an amount equal to 10 per cent of their wages. Last year the Crane company's pay rolls totaled S5,000,- 900, and the men received last Christ mas as bonuses total of $500,000.
 Such men as Richard T. Crane will always deserve well not only of the communities in which they live, but of the country at large. The man who built up the Crane company re- mained, as might have been expected, democratic in his tastes and unosten- tatious in his manner of living. His body will be laid to rest today, and his memory will not soon fade away

REFLECTIONS OF ApACHELoR

From the New York Press.
 All a thing needs to become hateful Is to be a duty.
 Knowing too little isn't half as dan gerous for most people as knowing too much.
 Cuss words never did a man any good, but it always seems to hurt him not to say them.
 A woman seems to be able to get some kind of salary in any job except the biggest one of all-running the house for her whole family.

were expressed as to the utility Of unl- versal manhood suffrage. He was noml- mated for governor of New Jersey be- cause of his conservatism. When, how ever, the presidential bee began to buzz in his bennett, he became very radical or, as his boomers say, progressive. The new wine which was put in the old Wll- son bottle sparkled for a while as he went through the western country. Now the governor Is at his desk in Trenton. while emissar.es of his are touring through the south in quest of Wilson delegates. They ask support for him not because he WAS a conservative and is now progressive, but because they say he is Q southern born man and has kin in the southern states They are parading the fact that. since Gen. Zach Taylor died in office, more than 60 years ago. no southern man has been elected President, and that now Is inc accept ed time to elect one. and that Wood row Wilson is the one above all others who should be elected. In our opinion Representative Underwood has a better chance as q southern candidate. The evidence constantly accumulates that Dr. Wilson will pull any string to achieve his ambition. In the north he Is being exhibited as the prodigy gov ernor of New Jersey, but in the south he shows up as a southern of south erns. If he does not get the nomination the failure will not be due to any lack of versatility on his part

MEN TAKE CHRISTMAS HARD


 Men take their Christmas observ- ances much harder than women do. Women do most of the worl--of which there is vast deal--but find a good deal of pleasure in it. Men are more rarely happy in this employment, and are apt to groan in a fashion. that their women folk rebuke. That is partly because, as a rule, the men still get and provide the money and wom- en spend it, and because spending is still 8 more popular employment than earning. But it is largely because the working men are already about as busy with their regular occupations as they can be, and to take all the thought about people and things and distribu- ton that the holiday season involves crowds and embarrasses their minds and overtaxes their energies. By rights Santa Claus ought to be a person in skirts and the chances are that in due time his gender and costume will be revised. In his details he is out of date. There are no longer any chim- neys he could climb down, and 1t is notorious that he has discharged his reindeer and now covers distance in a motor car. Skirts would be no em- barrassment to him, and only the hard fer sort of conservatives will deny that he belongs in them, because wom- en have pretty much captured Christ mas,

Assailing the Naval Stores Trust

Assalling the Naval stores Trust
 The raids of the government upon the trusts did, it is true, include the Southern Grocers' association, but aside from that case no concern origi- mated and controlled in the south had been assailed until papers were filed this week against the Savannah Ma val Stores company. This concern handles about 90 percent of the tur pentine, rosin and other by-products of the lumber industry. The govern ment says it is one of the worst-that it crushes competition, fixes prices and restricts trade. The government declares that it is supreme and arbi- trary in it's field, and that the terms of the antitrust act demand it's dis solution.
 The papers have been filed and no doubt the case will go on to conclu- sion. It is difficult to see how the Savannah trust can be dissolved into component parts, for it probably has none. It is just one big concern cen- tered at Savannah, which is the great naval stores port of the country.
 The south has nothing to lose through dissolution of the naval stores trust. Competition in pine products might prove on the other hand helpful, and the government will have in this section fair field for its battle with a trust of southern origin.

Cotton Ginning in Alabama

Up to January l there had been ginned in Alabama, says the census bureau, 1,621,843 bales grown last year. If we add to this sum 80,000 bales to cover subsequent ginning, and 50,000 linters and repacks we have an actual crop of 1 ,751 ,843 bales. How nearly the commercial crop will correspond to the actual crop largely depends upon the baling done next August, for each cotton year takes cotton from the year that follows.
 It is pretty safe to say, however, that the commercial crop will go to 1,700,000 bales, thus outranking all previous crops in the history of this state. We give below the commercial crops of recent years in this state:
