CHURCH .FlRE THOUGHT
T ODE REVENGE PLOT
Fort Worth, Tex, Feb. Sit
is suspected that the fire which
destroyed. the First Baptist
church yesterday was part of a
plot against its pastor, Rev. J.
Frank Norris:
Investigation has disclosed
that Rev. Norris had received let
tiers threatening him with death
and blowing up of his church.
The pastor led a vice crusade

recently, and a fortnight ago an
attempt was made to take his
life, two shots being fired at him
as he sat in his home.
A large reward has been offer!
ed for the arrest of the persons
responsible for the church fire.
The minister and his family will
leave the city.
-O-O-
The greatest offense of a Dyak
(Borneo) is to lie. Can't have
any courts over there.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1912-04-12

In a politician this would be accounted
rccklcssncSs, because party and spolls are
translated IN many minds to mean the
same thing; but it IS the highest wis
dom IN = statesman. Even should it
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 4 man
who can be trusted by the Natiou-a
mar whose patriotism is not limited by
small things, nor suffering from the
burden of any prejudice.

.UNDERWOOD-HOUSE LEADER
CLEAN COURAGE, HIGH HONESTY
FAITHFUL IN HIS FRIENDSHIPS

His am is Oscar w. Underwood
his years are on the sunshine side of
fifty. As chief OF the Ways and Means,
and chairman of the Committee on Com
mittees, he is Speaker Clark's right arm
in the House.
Mr.. Underwood's cry is Tariff for

of a rule-or-ruin spirit, came to Wash

session to trouble the waters of party
hope with an attack upon the wool bill

derwood, in going after Mr.. Bryan,
stated his W tariff position. Said he;
The Democratic party stands for a
tariff for revenue. The Democratic
party does not stand for free trade,
and | do not believe the people will
be misled by the statement of Mr..
Bryan"
That Mr.. Underwood is against pro-
lection, and fights it, evinces his cour-

UNDERWOODS INTEGRITY, PURITY
CIVIC COURAGE AND ABILITY

In this mornings magazine section
Of The Times our readers will find the
very interesting report of an inquiry
by a 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 a possible Democratic candidate for
the presidency. 1t is needless to say
that The Times is not concerned to adj
n the interests of any gentleman
in this direction in preference to any
other: 1t is concerned only in laying
before its readers such information,
carefully gathered and irnpartially pre-
sented, as will aid in the formation of
sound public opinion and a 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 a 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,
civic courage, and ability, by his
own people. Whether, when the time
comes for a choice, he will be consid-
cred the best man is a question which
it is now too early to decide. But there
il one element that will enter into the
problem which may we'll receive atten-

ton even thus early. 1t is the fact
that Mr.. Underwood is a man of South
ern birth, a Representative from a South
crn State. There is a feeling, rather
than a definite opinion, which finds ex-
preston more often in his own section
than in the North, and perhaps more
often in bis own party than in the op-
posite party, that this fact would be a
source of weakness if Mr.. Underwood
were named by the Democracy.
Of course, this is a matter not easily
to be decided with confidence in ad-
vance. There has been no occasion for
a distinct expression of public sentiment
regarding it. 1t is a half century since
a Southern candidate for the presidency
came before the Nation, and a good
deal longer than that since one was
elected. Great events have interviewed
and left their impress On the minds
and hearts of men, the depth and di-
rection of which no one can surely es-
innate. Our own judgment is that a
candidate from the South-other things
being eq%ual-would not be weaker and
might even be the stronger for that fact.
In a broad way, it may safely be said
that there is in our people now a sense
of tried and proved and established
nationality which might, and probably
would, welcome an opportunity for
manifesting itself. This sense of ma
tionality has grown progressively ever
since the close of the war for the
Union. 1t has been steadily strength
ened by the conditions of our National

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 country. This feature is the
general notice and attention paid to Con-
gresham 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
derwood maintains no press bureau. On
the other hand, prominent candidates
for the Democratic nomination like Gov
ernor Harmon Of Ohio, Governor VIII
son of New Jersey and Speaker Clark
OF Missouri, maintain large and active
bureaus, which are continually sending
out campaign literature to the papers
Of the country.
Notwithstanding this, at the present
time Mr.. 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
are admired by the newspapers of the
country. For now he is receiving more
free and favorable advertising than any
other public man OF the county

closely. They have gradually ceased
to think in terms of sections, and the
South is to-day no more distinct and

who dwell elsewhere.
In the next place, no one under sixty
has any personal experience of the
civil conflict, and that means not mere
Iy that the majority but that the great
body of voters are without this ex-
perience. 1t is more than a quarter OF
a century since the Southern Cues
ton entered ever nominally into a
National contest. If it were raised
now by any party, and those who would
be influenced by it had to stand up
and be counted, we believe they would
be ludicrously few. On the other hand,
we are confident that, were the issue
made, a great many voters~-chietly
among those who were most earnest in
their loyalty in the civil war-would by
a common impulse of generosity and Of
self-respect incline toward the Southern
candidate. If forced really to think of
the matter, and to act on their conclu-
sions, it would seem too absurd to act
in the present on the issues long since
settled, settled in their favor, and set
tied forever.-The NeW York Times,
