reciprocity legislation, to which the
Democrats were favorable. the House
was Democratic mainly because of the
dissatisfaction OF the people with the
Payne Aldrich tariff law, the election
that made the House Democratic being
the first opportunity the people had to
express that dissatisfaction tangibly.
The Democrats had a majority of
nearly seventy. They had not had pos
session of the House for sixteen years.
They were politically hungry and polit-
ically thirsty. They needed sustenance.
They thought they had chance to elect
a president in 1912 and get full swing
at all the perquisites and prcrogatives
of the Government; and each man Of
the two hundred and twenty-eight Dem
ocrats was full of schemes for making
this chance certainty. They were all
anxious to revise the tariff in order to
keep faith with the people, but they had
many plans for revision and many
shades of opinion as to how it should
be revised. They felt their power and
Importance. They were eager, avid, en-
thusiastic and none too prudent.

THE UNDERWOOD BOOT

Uncle Joe Cannon is quoted as saying
''at Congressman Underwood of Ala
ANA has grown more in public senti-
lent recently than any other man in the
United States"
Other leaders in both big parties are

.rner, who distinguished himself dur
ing the extra session of Congress %
Democratic leader in the House
Commenting upon the Underwood
boom, the Birmingham Age-Herald says:
THE rise of Oscar Underwood is the
marvel of American politics, and we may
look for its elimination in the week of
June Is in the good city of Baltimore"
That this distinguished Alabamian 10

BOLD PROGRAM
Good Politics and Policy

The Underwood program contemplates
sane reductions, not revolutionary, but
framed so as to Tighten the burden
of the tariff without giving too violent
a shock to important national interests.
This is sensible program
1t is good political strategy and sound
economies. Moreover, it is practical.
If such a program should be passed
and vetoed by the President, Mr.. Taft
and the Republican party will have to
face an angry nation with third be-
trayal charged against them.
If Taft should approve it, his pre-
vious attitude and previous vetoes win
leave all the credit for tariff reforms
to the Democratic party, and will enable
him to recover none of the advantage
he has lost.
The failure of the tariff commission
has deprived the President of even .
legitimate excuse for further vetoes, and
gives the Democrats ample reason for
going ahead without waiting years for
more reports of the same kind-lNezs

HIS WIFE A NEAL HELPr1EEr

Mr.. Underwood has been helped and

takes the utmost interest in his work
and his ambitions. She assumes full
control of the domestic establishment
and leaves him free from care and con-
Germ. 1t is rumored that she even
lays out his clothes for him and ties
his cravat. She seeks to aid him in his
studies and work of research. She is

of life. Not beautiful, but attractive.
wholesome and companionable. No
wonder is expressed that Mr.. Under

There has been no attempt on

To protect profits is to protect
