BOLD PROGRAM
Good Politics and Policy

The Underwood program contemplates
sane reductions, no revolutionary, but
framed so as to Tighten the burden
of the tariff without giving too violent
a shock to important national interests.
This is a sensible program.
1t is good political strategy and sound
economics. 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 a third be-
trayal charged against them.
If Taft should approve it, his pre-
vious attitude and previous vetoes will
leave all the credit for tariff reforms
to the Democratic party, and will enable
him to recover lone of the advantage
he has lost. 49,
The failure of the tariff commission
has deprived the President of ever a
legitimate excuse for further vetoes, and
gives the Democrats ample reason for
going ahead without waiting years for
more reports of the same kind.-Nep

cry (Alabama) Advertiser, Jan. 5. 1912.

Uncle Joe Cannon is quoted as saying
that Congressman Underwood of Ala
bama has grown more in public senti-
mcnt recently than any other man in the
United States"
Other leaders in both big parties are
now taking notice of this able South
erner, who distinguished himself dur
ing the extra session of Congress as
Democratic leader in the House.
Commenting upon the Underwood
boom, the Birmingham Age-Herald says:
"The rise of Oscar Underwood is the
marvel ofAmerican politics, and we may
look for its elimination in the week of
June Is in, the good city of Baltimore"
That this distinguished Albanian is
growing in favor in all sections Of the
country is plainly evident on all sides.

Mrs. UNDERWOOD.

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 s%ustenance.
They thought they had a chance to elect
a president in 1912 and get full swing
at all the pefquisites and prerogatives
of the Government; and each man Of
the two hundred and twenty-eight DEM
ocrats was full of schemes for making
this chance a 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 non too prudent.

HIS WIFE A REAL HELPnEET

Mr.. Underwood has been helped and
assisted by his wife. She is proud of
him and has faith in his future. She
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. It 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
bright, we'll educated, yivacious and full
of life. Not beautiful, but attractive,
wholesome and companionable. No.
wonder is expressed that Mr.. Under
woods forehead and face are free from
wrinkles. All the turbulence and nerve
suicide connected with handling a fiat
are removed from him.-NeW Fork.

from the people in its demand for the election of a Democratic president IN
1912 must show the people it is trustworthy and fit for confidence; He knew
of the varying opinions as to what should be done with the tarH; knew OF
the enthusiasm and lack of Judgment the partsanship and even the fanahclsm
of some of his followers; knew they had been o long. outside that the
attainment of the inside position might lead to excessesi in legislation. He chose
his leutenants well and went at the job
His task is not yet completed The President vetoed the tariff bills that were
formulated in the House under Underwoods direction and intrinshahyL his
though changed in many particulars in the Senate and in conference. There
will be more tariff legislation in the House in this session. The President has
way What Underwood must do again is to hold his party in line to meet
as complex a situation as he had to meet in the extra session that ended last
summer-and never forget for a minute that there is a presidential election
year that undoubtedly will be largely decided upon the tariff question.
Judging the future by the past he will do it. 1t is a situation charged with
dynamite. Many of his Democratic colleagues are anxious for radical action
in many ways. The Congress will not adjourn until just before the first national
convention is held. The record of the present House will figure largely not
onIv as TO the individual fortunes of Underwood but also as to the fortunes
of whonsoever shall be nominated by the Democrats for president and that
candidates success at the polls.

Section, December 8, 1917
There has been no attempt on
the part of the manufacturers to
give labor its share of the benefits
derived from the tariff They
have kept all the profits"
ITO protect profits is to protect
inef6ciency and to strangulate
rather than to develop industry"
II prefer to lower the tariff wall

wall rather than by dynamiting
the structure at the bottom" Z

Congressman Oscar w. Underwood,
when asked if he would be a candidate
for the Presidency, said:
II think my friends are going to pay
me the compliment of indorsing me and
that they will present my name to the
convention. I will be very proud to
have their Endorsement. No man could
feel otherwise about it.
"But l have told them that what they
do they must do by themselves. I have

am going to try my best to do it. I

extraordinarily we'll qualified for the presidency because of his long experience
in Governmental matters. Granting that MI. Taft had long experience in the

Lansing, Mich, June S.--According

Nearly all OF the companies with

eight companies were admitted 10

Prior 10 1911, large number Of
mutual companies located in the east

in Michigan without complying with
the insurance laws Of this state. and
bin was introduced in the last Leg
islature To prohibit, If possible. the
transaction of an unauthorized fire in
surance business. This law. In addi-
tion TO prohibiting the soliciting of
business in unauthorized companies,
made It felony for anyone To assist
in the adjustment of a claim under
an unauthorized contract. declaring all
such contracts To be void from their
conception. This law went into effect

The records of the insurance de-
partment show that the cost of fire
