Discomfort in Cuba

The Morua law, which forbids the organization of parties in Cuba on racial lines will not be repealed dur ing the continuance of the insurrec- ton, but both houses have agreed to suspend the constitutional guarantees in the province of Oriente. This doubtless means that martial law will be proclaimed at Santiago and throughout the remainder of the province.
 The situation is rendered complex by the approval of presidential cleo ton. General Gomez is candidate to succeed himself. Were there no presidential election pending there would probably be no instruction in tie republic All political campaigns in Latin America seem to lead direct ly to uprisings and armed forces.
 This IS due more to the fact that real elections never take place in Spanish-America than to anything else. The party in power controls and manipulates the ballot boxes, and the opposition has no recourse except in an appeal to force.

 The condition of the crop in this state is put at "A, or about seven points below normal. Georgia and Tennessee show no better condition, and in Mississippi the crop is put at 72. The Alabama crop is in con- dition to be benefited by showers and good warm nights, and it may yet prove to be better than it generally has credit for.
 The crop as whole is undoubtedly It is better than it was on May 20, and in the present month it may gain growth and vigor up to normal and promising standard.

UNDERWOOD

Arthur B. Krock, in Harper's Weekly.
 He is absolutely even, this man Under wood. No one ever saw his cheek un- duly flushed His morning mirror is prob, ably the only thing which ever saw Un- derwoods hair awry. His voice I have never heard raised above a clearing speak
 ing tone. He has a way of making him self heard. of placing stress where stress should be, of getting himself authenticai- ly quoted. l don't recall that he ever de- nied an interview, that frequent subter fuge of the coward Nor is Underwood cold or clammy. Except for his rather too DC rsistent modesty Underwood is the most evenly adjusted man in public life. And you can understand the modesty In man who, though the most successful political leader of the year, thinks he has only about the same amount of gray matter as you and I. He has a moderate sense of humor about things that happen to oth- CTS, a highly developed sense about things that happen to himself.
 Ali these attributes have made Under wood the ideal floor leader in the House of Representatives, where it took Under wood r years to arrive" among a body in which sooner or later men are weighed at just their right figure. Of course. Tor 15 years he was in the minority, and had political control changed 10 years ago Un- derwood would have attained 10 years ago. But he climbed in the way that was pest for him, evenly, slowly, without retro gressions, just as he thinks. as he speaks, as he acts.

THE oLYMPIAN DIALOGUES

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 love was mapping in his big throne chair. The tiger skin given him by Her cules was laid across his knees, and on low seat at his side his thunderbolts were neatly arranged.
 Around his head a big bluebottle ny warily buzzed.
 Suddenly he awoke and rubbed his eyes.
 .Who is that making an outcry on the plain below?' he growled. Shading ms eyes with his handi he looked across Thes- salian fields. Presently he discerned man and donkey, and the man was hold ing up his hands and monotonously cry ing: "Jove, great love, protector of the oppressed, right my wrongs"
 The ruler of the gods turned around.
 "Here. Ganymede." he cried. Find out who has been worrying that poor donkey man down there. He seems to be in dis tress over something"
 But before the agile youth had taken a dozen paces a gust of laughter swept through the throne room,
 love sat up. They were laughing at Venus, and no wonder. The goddess of love was comig up the porphyry steps 
 In the queerest of queer attire. At her waist on each side were suspended two queer Joking bags and she minced along as if totally unconscious of the attention she was receiving.
 At sight of her love laughed so loud that he jared a thunderbolt from the low seat and everybody ran in terror.
 What have you got there?' he de- msIded.
 ''Panners.' said Venus. "so it's you" cried the god, 'who robbed that poor donkey down below there. Just listen to his master" And the mournful appeal came up from the plain below. "Jove! great Jove!" Tho master god turned to Ganymede. "Go down and turn that noisy fellow into A sycamore tree or something.' he com manded. "and let me finish my nap"

In the national republican conventior of 1880, when General Grant, who had been out of the presidential office four years was a candidate again for the nomination, Garfield made a ringing speech against third term-ism. The had not been reekoned with as pres- idential aspirant but his speech made such a great hit that he received tPe nomination. It may be that some dark horse' will get up in the Chicago com vention this month and make the sa5ne kind of hit and be nominated. One never can tell.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-06-06

From the Mobile Register.
 As the Register has stated from the in- ception of the Underwood movement, his candidacy will have splendid effect, re- gardless of its termination. That this view is being taken by the country at large is evidenced by the following from the Chicago Inter-ocean, journal which in the past has not exhibited a great de- gree of friendliness for the south:
 For the first time since the civil war a southern man is making an active cam paign to secure the presidential nomina- tion. We hail his candidacy with pleasure as a proof that the time is ap- preaching when a party will be able to choose it's best leader as it's standard bearer without caring greatly whether he comes from east, west, north or south"
 The sectional lines are fading, as they should. The candidacy of MT. Underwood has done much to obliterate them, and his aspiration has therefore resulted in good to the whole country.
 And in this connection 1t Is somewhat remarkable that, notwithstanding the iteration by the adherents of Governor Wilson that he is a "southern man." the Champ Clark chorus that The is a southern man." whenever the press of the north desires to comment on the fact of a southern man being candi- date for the presidency the paper so com menting almost inval iably picks MT. In derwood Now why is this? Possibly ie is because it is a real southern man, whose interests and home are in the south and who has not become an ex- patriate from the section.

Where Taft and Roosevelt Stand

lalb anu AtOOSCfCit kJtdto
 Mir. Taft received in 1908 the larg- est vote ever cast for a republican presidential candidate. His total was 7,678,908. The nearest approach to this vote was that of Roosevelt in 1904, when he boiled 7,623,43 It is claimed that there are 8,000,000 re- publicans in the country, but it is plain that MT. Taft cannot poll that number, and few believe that Colonel Roosevelt, third termer, can.
 MT. Taft's weakness is almost wholly due to his weakness as a party leader when the Aldriches and Shoots devised the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. He stood pledged to downward re- vision of the Dingley duties, and yet when the Shoots and the Aldriches devised the Payne bill, he signed it. This was done five months after in- auguration day A little later he made the Winona speech in which he de- clared this masterpiece of protection to manufacturers and of injustice to consumers the best tariff ever writ ten. Later still he vetoed the tariff revision bills that Chairman Under wood had brought in and that the Senate had accepted.
 He had thus fully identified himself with the Payne-Aldrich tariff. As a leader this was his one great error. This was where he subjected himself to the charge made by Colonel Roose- welt of feebleness.
 But does Colonel Roosevelt, who evades as far as he can all discus sion of the tariff, stand any better before the great body of consumers? He has said that he favors a protec- tive rather than a revenue tariff, and this does not hold out much promise to the victims of excessive taxation in the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
 To say that either Taft or Roosevelt can poll 8,OOO,OO0 republican votes in distracted and divided party and in period when the high cost of liv- ing is severely felt, is to strain credulity to the breaking point. No close observer believes that either can under the circumstances approximate a poll of eight million votes.
