Southern Leaders
9EpG the Tariff

No sensible man, certainly no one
friendly to the South, wishes to sec the
tariff made a sectional question. The
course of MIR. Clark and Mr.. Under
wood tends to prevent this. They stand
not only with their own party through
out the country, but with the strong
public sentiment in support of tariff re-
duction that has divided the Republican
party, and thrown the House into the
hands of the Democrats. When we say
that i'll this they arc serving their owl,
section, we have in mind the important
fact that they are bringing to bear on
national affairs the intelligence and
strength of their section, and giving it
the opportunity to take a leading part
i'll the affairs Of the Nation. They arc
undermining the unfortunate section
alism that has, perhaps unavoidably,
pcrvadcd Southern politics for a long
time. They arc ranging the South OH
the side OF progress and in the line
OF the most significant movement Of
national opinion that has manifested it
self i'll years. Nothing is more certain
than that our vast and intricate and
oppressive tariff system is to be
reformed, and its reform is bound to
be the one task Of craftsmanship in the
next few years. 1t can be determined,
and under certain conditions it can be
led by the men of the South-Nc7U

UNDERWOODS INTEGRITY, PURITY
CIVIC COURAGE AND ABII ,ITY

In this mornings magazine section
Of The Times our readers will find the
very interesting report of an inquiry
by staff correspondent into the record
and repute, in his own home, Of the
Hon. Oscar w. Underwood of Ala
bama, who has recently been discussed
as possible Democratic candidate for
the presidency. 1t is needless to say
that The Times is not concerned to adj
vance. the interests of any gentleman
i'll this direction in preference to any
other: 1t is concerned only in laying
before its readers such information,
carefully gathered and impartially pre-
sentcd, as will aid in the formation of
sound public opinion and choice that
will be to the greatest advantage of the
Nation
We think our readers will agree that
any party may be congratulated among
whose prominent men, to whom the
eyes Of the party are directed on the
eve of presidential campaign, there
is one with such standing among those
who know him best as Mr.. Underwood
has. Plainly he is a man to be trusted,
because he is trusted, for his integrity,
purity, civic courage, and ability, by his
own people. Whether, when the time
comes for choice, he will be consid-
cred the best man is question which
it is now too early to decide. But there
is one element that will enter into the
problem which may well receive atten-

~ Voice
From Virginia

"All of the avowcd aspirants are
men of distinction and merit, but my
individual opinion is that the party has
an opportunity to make magnificent
selection by choosing for its standard
bearer in 1912 the wise, well-balanced
and thoroughly equipped Alabamiarl.
Hon. Oscar Underwood
"Mr. Underwood's record in states.
manshp is good enough guarantee
Of his fitness for the White House.
He measures up to all the requirements
of the exalted position. He is fearless
and broad-mindcd, and there is nothing
of the demagoguc in his composition.
Some will cavil at his Southern origin
and raise the oft-repeated cry that no
Southerner can be elected to the presi-
dcncy. This bugaboo is raised in spite
Of the fact that all the leading papers
of the North and South and all writer's
of any note have declared time and
again that sectional feeling and preju-
dice, based on the war of '61-65, have
died out completely
"If that be true is there any longer
any valid reason against going to the
South for candidate? If Mr.. Under
woods personality and public service
render him peculiarly available should
the matter of location bar him from the
nomination? The idea is absurd."-

A FIGURE OF NATIONAL SIZE,

The emphasis here is placed upon Mr..
Underwood's wisdom, but along with
this is mentioned his honesty.
These two qualities greatly impress
every one who comes into association
with Mr.. Underwood, or who closely
follows his course in Congress and in
public life. flc is wise: he does not
disturb himself about little things; his
own personality is not obtruded; his
political ambitions play no part in gov
crning his words and actions. He has
an eye single to the performance of
duty and believes that duty well per-
formed is the most urgent considera-
ton. If doing his duty should mar his
iortunes-as he certainly believed it
would when he voted against the pen
sion bill-lle will take what comes with
out complaining. Not every man can be
president, he thinks, but every man can
try TO do the best that is in him for
his country and for the times he lives
in.
And this is honesty. He plays no
politics; he stands out against rading
the trcasury-no matter what be the ex-
cusc olfercd-and he opposes his own
friends and associates quite as firmly
as Inc opposes his opponents when, in
his Judgment, the thing proposed to be
done is not for the common good.
The Pickens sentinel. (Pickens, S.C.) 1911-2016, 1912-04-04

In politician this would betaccounted
recklessness, because party and spoils are
translated in many minds to mean the
same thing; but it is the highest wis
dom in statesman. Even should il
have but partial success in controlling
a party following, it must be productive
OF immense good in showing that the
South has in Mr.. Underwood man
who can be trusted by the Nation-a
man whose patriotism is not limited by
small things, nor suffering from the
burden of any prejudice.
For Our part, we believe that such
wisdom is of more practical value than
would be the kecnest political schem-
ing; and that this very absence of self
seeking, this contempt for the arts of
the politician, is working for him, while
ne himself has his mind conferred upon
things he regards as Of more moment.
The country could do no better than
to put its entire trust in such man:
and there is good reason to think that it
will do SO. AS Mr.. Lewis saws. it
should not hesitate to employ him as
night watchman." This coming, not
from the South, but from writer whose
attitude is critical and whose atmosphere
is Of the North, is certainly tribute
not to be dcspised; its significance is
very. grcat.-Ihe Mobile (Alabama)

DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

The most salient fact connected with
the story Of the bill in the present Con-
grcss is the remarkable strength of the
Democratic tactics, and the high quail
ity shown by Mr.. Underwood, the leader
of the party on the floor. The farmers
free list" bill was a master stroke, and
Mr.. Underwood utilized it in the debate
with an effectiveness that left nothing to
be desired. What gives real strength to
the Democratic position is that the party
is graphing with big and difficult
question in spirit that is at once
courageous and practical. If there is to
be an era of such leadership as that rep
resented by Mr.. Underwood, the term
practical politics" may be rescued from
the. ignominy into which it has fallen
and recover the meaning to which it is
legitimatcly entitled.-Ncqo York Eve-

UNDERWOOD
AND THE PAPERS

The careful reader Of the newspapers
is surprised at one notable feature Of
the papers from practically every sec
ton Of the copntry. This feature is the
general notice and attention paid to Con-
grcssman Oscar Underwood as a candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination, and the uniform praise
which invariably accompanies the men
ton Of him and his candidacy. This is
all the more surprising because Mr.. IN
dcrwood MAINTAINS no press bureau On
the other hand, prominent candidates
Tor the Democratic nomination like Gov
crnor Harmon Of Ohio Governor Will
son Of New Jersey and Speaker Clark
of Missouri maintain large and active
bureaus, which arc continually sending
out campaign literature to the papers
Of the country.
Notwithstanding this, at the present
time MIR, Underwood is receiving more
attention than any other, We might say
any other two, presidential candidates
combined. The attitude OF the voters
towards Mr.. Underwood may be doubted
until that attitude is made clear in an
election, but it cannot be doubted that
his record and his strong personality
arc admired by the newspapers Of the
country. For now he is receiving more
free and favorable Advertising than any
other public man of the country
