OSCAR UNDERWOOD

Oscar w. Underwood personifies
the new, progressive, prosperous, bus
iness-like south. Born in Kentucky in
1862, of well-to-do parents and distir-
guished lineage, graduated from Rug
by School, Kentucky, and the Univer-
sity of Virginia, he began to practice
law in Birmingham, Ala, in 1884, and
was first elected to congress in 1894.
His advancement followed as a nat
ural consequence of constant appli-
cation of his exceptional talents I'M
til he achieved the position of def
mite leadership at the beginning of
the present congress. His record in
this highly responsible capacity, with
respect to intelligence, tactfulness
and courage manifested or to results
accomplished under difficult condi-
tions, has never been surpassed.
In the course of his long experience
in congress, Mr.. Underwood has dis
cussed all vital public questions. His
position has been invariably that of
his party. More need not be said.
If Underwood has been in the wrong
it follows irresistibly that the funda-
mental principles of democracy are
unsound. 1t suffices then, for the
present purpose, to set forth the one
great issue which is more distinctive
ly his issue than that of any other
democrat This has been done in his
own words spoken with the calmness,
moderation and lucidity which charac-
terize his every utterance His claim
to political preferment rests upon ex-
ceptional ability, sound judgment,
perfect poise, faithful service and
noteworthy George
Harvey, in the North American Re-
view.

WHAT is A DEMOCRAT

If the democratic party should fall
for the initiative, referendum and re-
call and win the election, it ought to
be fair enough to burn Monticello
and buy Ocala, Fla, for a national
park to commemorate the populist
party and the platform it constructed
there twenty-one years ago.-Hous-
ton Post.
For that reason let us hope that
there'll be no such blunder in the
democratic convention. But if it
should transpire that the radical pro-
gressives should get control-what
are we going to do about it? 1t will
not be the democratic party of "the
daddies," and, as most people have
been voting for one or the other par
ty because that was the way their
daddies voted, will there not be a ne
cessity for a general reallignment?
How could LaFollette, for instance,
refuse to follow the democratic flag
if it should adopt his principles and
policies; and how could Mr.. Bryan
refuse to follow Mr. LaFollette or
Teddy should either capture the re-
publican convention with their So
called progressive ideas, and the DEM
ocrats should adopt Tilden-Cleve-
land platform?
In other words, the Posts sugges-
ton raises all sorts or questions that
may have to await an answer until
after the issues are fought out at Bal
timore If the republicans should
split and put out two tickets, there's
no telling how far radicalism may go
at Baltimore. 1t would, however, be
matter for profound congratulation
if the Baltimore convention should
answer the question, what is DEM
ocrat?" by the adoption of a series of
ringing antitheses to the revolution
airy doctrines proposed by Mr.. Roose-
welt. Every man who should get on
such a platform would be sure
enough democrat-The Chattanooga
Times.

TO BUILD A CHURCH IN ONE DAY

Some weeks ago the Methodists of
Spartanburg, S. c., built church ed
ifice in one day The various artl-
sans, more than two hundred in num-
Der, began work at sun-up and at sun
down the building was completed,
even to the inside furnishings, and
services were held in the church that
night The foundations had been put
in place some time before, but with
that exception the construction of the
building was the work of a single
day. Every sill, joist, sleeper, win
dow and door frame, and other pieces
of building material was marked; the
various workmen were divided into
sections and every man knew what
to do and how to do it, and as a re-
suit the building was put together
like magic.
What was done at Spartanburg is
to be duplicated at Lakeland. A
beautiful lot has been purchased, the
plans have been drawn, and direct
or for the building selected, and the
lumber ordered. The Lakeland Tel
egram says that the day has not been
definitely set, but that it will be at
an early day 1t concludes an item
concerning it as follows:
"The novel manner of building is
attracting great attention, and it is
safe to say that there will be hun
dreds of people there that day to
take dinner among the great shady
trees, and help to put up the little
church. Others who can arrange to
help will do we'll to give their names
to a member of the committee"

Search the record and see if any OF
the Clark Harmon Underwood press
went a step further than that.
The journal ends it's Objectionable
article by saying that Harmon has
been eliminated from the race, that
Clark is admittedly weak and that
Underwood's candidacy was never Sc
riously considered.
There is not a word Of truth in the
entire sentence.
Clark has developed wonderful
strength and goes into the conven-
ton with the strongest following;
Harmon has the backing of other
states and a solid delegation from
the state of which he has been gov
ernor for two terms, and Underwood
is a live, pulsating wire, and a con-
stantly growing candidate.
The cry of the Atlanta Journal is
one of disappointment and despera-
ton.

UNDERWOoD-WHY NOT?

The time must come when a man
from the south can be nominated and

section for more than a generation
should have no place in our politics

other respects available this year.

Few men have made a better i'm.
preston upon the country recently
than Mr. Underwood. His leadership
of the house of Representatives has
been wise, firm and true. He has

to command. He has inspired conf
dence in his party. He has compell-
ed the respect of his opponents

1t is therein stated that our New Jer-
sey candidate was christened Thorn
as Woodrow Wilson, and that the
christening occurred in the state or
Ohio" Then follow some immaterial
biographical details of his after life.
The alleged fact of the christening in
Ohio is all that is mentioned in rela-
ton, even remotely, to the place or
birth, and that is very far from con-
elusive; in fact, it is hardly strong
enough to raise a remote presump-
ton. 1t is quite common thing for
little children to be christened weeks,
months, and even years, after their
birth. A few weeks ago there was
christened in the residence of the
present writer, here in the city or
Tampa, state of Florida, two little
children who were born in North Car

tening prove that they were born in

A PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE

Oscar w. Underwood, viewed as a
conservative, is described as an adj
vanced progressive on the tariff is
sue by Henry George, Jr, democratic
congressman from New York, in an
article in the New York Herald.
Mr. George speaks from intimate
acquaintance with Mr.. Underwood
and his work in the house and says,
although he is typical southern
man there is a great army OF people
in the United States who believe he
will be the republics next president"
That he is a man of modesty and
courage, Mr. George gives instances
to prove, which also show why he is
one of the best liked men in the
house, admired for his manhood, for
his quiet strength and his calmness
in moments of excitement He de-
scribes him as a resourceful leader
and one of the most adroit parlia-
mentarians the democrats ever had.
While outside the house ranked as
a conservative, on the tariff question,
which he believes to be the chief is
sue in the campaign, Mr.. Underwood
is a leading progressive, believing in
tariy for revenue only, and on these
lines he will fight with all his power
and resourcefulness, says Mr..
George.
AS to his progressiveness, Mr.. I'm
derwood made himself clear in his
address before Columbia University
Wednesday, his subject being PRO
gressiveness and Conservatism" He
rightly characterizes the issue be-
tween the two as a false one. Were
we not progressive we could not move
forward, yet in all progress conserva-
tism is necessary to prevent disaster.
In short, Mr.. Underwood is a pro-
gressive conservative.
Mr. Georges article is only one of
the straws that show the trend of
public sentiment in the north and
east, where Mr.. Underwood mas grown
to be regarded as one of democracy's
strongest leaders.
In a recent issue he was referred
to by the New York Herald in its Sc
ries of articles on Democratic Op-
portunities" as a man of courage,
we'll equipped, who stands well in
New York.
The tariff will be the paramount is
sue in the campaign and the demo-
cratic party is on the right side of
that issue The candidate that can
carry New York will stand the best
chance of being the next president,
and Mr. Underwood is regarded in
that state with greater favor than
any other man seeking a presidential

THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
UPHELD

"A special from Richmond, Virginia,
says that the Journal Company, pub
fishers of the Richmond Evening
Journal, indicted at the instance of
the postoffice department for publish
ing certain testimony given at the
trial of the famous Beatty case, was
held not guilty of violation of the
federal statutes in an opinion handed
down by Judge Edmund Waddill of
the United States court for the east
ern district of Virginia.
Judge Waddill holds, in effect, that
a reputable newspaper is clearly
within it's rights in publishing reports
of testimony taken in open court
during the progress of judicial trials.
He also holds that the part of the
testimony appearing in the Journal,
and complained of by the govern
ment, was not of suggestive nature
and the effect of it's publication would
be corrective rather than have ten
dency to moral degradation. The
opinion says in part:
st should not be lightly assumed
that reputable newspapers would pur-
posely wish to publish and dissent
nate througs the mails what would
be destructive of social order.
'The delicacy of the subject, and
the great desirability of maintaining
the efficiency and purity of the mail,
and the necessity that the freedom
of the press shall at all times be pre-
served, make it manifest that in con-
sidering this particular class of in
fractions, or supposed infractions, Of
the law, those having to administer
to the same should be actuated by
the highest sense of justice and right
to ALL The guarantee of freedom of
the press was granted, not alone be-
cause of the necessity therefor for it's
protection, but that thereby many of
those dearest and most essential
rights and privileges of the citizen
might be assured and protected"
In conclusion the opinion quashes
the indictment against the Journal.
