Economy in Presidential Years

At one caucus, in single resolu- tion, fully $4O,OOO,O00 was saved to the government, for two battleships would have cost $24,O00,O00 and a public buildings bill would have ap- propriated $16,OOO,OO0 more. The vote in the caucus to start next year no battleships and to expend no money on new public buildings was carried by vote of 88 to 26.
 This is certainly economy in whole sale lots, and the democrats have adopted this plan at MT. Under woods suggestion and advice in or der to make practice conform fully to platform declarations. All legislation in presidential year is full of poli- tics, and it is well that we have one year in four when economy is en- forced and the public good so'iGtt The big interests control the interven- ing years, and the people get but one in four,

 From the Columbus. Ga. Enquirer
 Sun.
 While Oscar w. Underwood, repre- sentative in Congress from the Br- mingham, Ala, district, who is chair man of the ways and means commit tee of the House, is in Washington looking after his duties with appar- ent entire disregard of the fact that the country is in the midst of a pres idential campaign and that hls name is being mentioned as often in con- nection with the democratic nomina- tion as that of any one else and more often than that of almost any one, his friends are urging his candidacy with increasing earnestness They are leaving nothing undone in their efforts to convince the people that he Is the logical candidate of the democratic party this year.
 MT. Underwood has been asked if he is a candidate for the presidency. and he has unhesitatingly declared | that he is not, and his course as a member of Congress indicates that he was telling the truth when he said
  further his interest as a candidate, if he be one, and the indications are that he isn't thinking about the presidency, but that his whole thought and aim are to discharge the present duties that devolve upon him.
 It would seem that MT. Underwood is giving little or no thought to the presidential race. but that he enter tains the belief that 1t Is more inn portant that he discharge present du- ties than to endeavor to place himself in a position for other and greater ones.
 In this, if our assumption be cor rect, MT. Underwood is not mistaken He was elected to represent his district in Congress, and his fellow members have chosen him to head one of the most important committees of the body Upon him duties rest that can not be overlooked; responsibilities go with the chairmanship of the ways and means committee that must be discharged else suffer very greatly. MT. Underwood appears to appreciate thor oughly this fact, and is proceeding along this line.
 Up to the present, although he has been repeatedly and consistently men tioned as candidate for the demo- cratic nomination for several months past, MT. Underwood appears to have decided that if he be nominated by the democrats this year 1t will be one of those rare instances of the office seeking the man.

Birmingh hams PrOeress

"Birmingham's growth in the past 20 years has been, indeed, phenomenal" said Joseph F. Hartman of Philadelphia. "My first visit to this city was in 1892. It seemed to be a prosperous small town then. but period of depression soon fol- lowed and conditions were anything but promising in 1895 on the occasion of my second visit. l came again in '9S and found Birmingham was getting well on its prosperity ever since.
 First avenue, at the intersection of Twentieth street. makes splendid im- pression on the stranger. The three steel frame office buildings already there seem to be we'll filled, and the American Trust s 20 story building under construction en- phasizes the spirit of progress A sky scraper fireproof hotel has long been one of the needs of Birmingham. but that, understand, will soon be supplied.
 q was in Seattle a few years ago when that city was booming. but I am told that now conditions there are far from bright. Oklahoma City. which I visited last fall, had been over boomed, and tine inevitable slump was marked. Oklahoma City, however is substantial and 1t will not be long before it takes another step forward. But Birmingham has a greater future, in my opinion, than any town in the country of approximately it's size. It is good for a population of 5oe0oo within the next 20 years"

MT. Taft's Keynote Speech

In his speech before the Tippecanoe club at Cleveland MT. Taft no doubt laid down the tariff policy he pro- poses to go before the people on. He declared that he would continue to stand by the protective principle, !" and that he would not support tariff for revenue only.
 He then went on to discuss what he calls unscientific revision. He would have the people believe that his tariff board contains all the scientists, all though not one of them was con sidered a tariff expert until he was appointed. To say that any one of these men knows as much about tariffs as Oscar Underwood, after 20 years of study, does is simply to make ones self ridiculous.
 Mir. Taft has, however, decided to favor a protective tariff on the tariff board issue. In other words, he says the Payne Aldrich-Smoot tariff should stand until the tariff board reports on it's 14 schedules. Thus far it is bringing in a report on sched- ule once in two years.
 Leader Underwood is meeting this stand of Mr. Taft in the best possible manner. He is presenting reasonable revisions of schedule after schedule, bringing each one to a revenue basis, The steel bill has already been sent to the Senate, and the chemical bill may be ready to go next week. A sugar, and a cotton, and a wool bill will follow, and upon these re- visions the democrats will go to the country to meet the tariff board is. sue and a tariff stuffed by manufac- turers for manufacturers, and the re- suit is not bit in doubt.
 If Mr. Taft had had the full cour- age of his protective principle" he would not have devised his tariff board plea, which is simply evasive and misleading. His courage fails him and he repudiates his Winona speech in order to present the subter- fuge known as the tariff board.

false bottom of a trunk by the daring syndicate that had purloined it. Tn MT. Morgan's London home at Princes Gate, Hyde Park, where this Gains borough is hung with paintings of Raphael, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Ru- bens, Franz Hals, Murillo, there is 700 volume library gathered together by William Morris and worth $1,250,- 900. A collection of Swiss watches was obtained in 1910-it is reported for $525, 1000. A few weeks ago MT. Morgan bought in Paris for $2,000,000 the Hoentschel collection of Gothic and renaissance works of sculpture. For other collections at various times hundreds of thousands of dollars have been paid. For the portrait of Miss Farren, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, $20O,000 was given, and single China plate cost $10,000."
 Europe will feel despoiled when these art treasures are shipped to America never to return, and it will deplore the fact that we have mag mates and capitalists who can lug off even more than Napoleon's victorious armies could.

WHAT BIRMINGHAM
From the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 As one of the most rapidly growing cities in the United States and great industrial center Birmingham, Ala, de- serves the attention that has been given 1t by the Survey. The current number of the magazine contains what is termed "a social interpretation of this development of the new souths activ- ities. Seven writers, each having spe- cial Knowledge of Birmingham, con tribute articles to what is virtually a social survey of the city.
 Evidently Birmingham is progress ing, but 1t has a very long way to go. Alabama is backward in many respects; child labor and the employ ment of chained convicts on the streets of its cities testify to that. Birming- ham dominates 10000 square miles of hill country" so that it is more than a city to itself
 It has filthy quarters, a large popu- lation that is capable of only slow raising from within, a negro element that needs to be lifted out of povertv and ignorance, problems of public works and public graft and the gen eral need of physical making over that exists in so many American cities of the hastily built kind
 Birmingham has elements within it. self that are trying to make 1t more than center for the production of pig iron and other manufactured pro- ducts. It exemplifies the saving ele- ment in American cities; they know they need to become better hence they will become better The uplifting forces in Birmingham are working slowly but surely toward the accomplishment of a gigantic task.

Harmony in Rank and File

The democratic party faces the presidential campaign in good form; in better form indeed than in many years past. The national democracy has suffered defeat time and again because leaders held divergent views and because the voters of the rank a-l file were either disaffected or indifferent.
 But now the democratic party IS full of hope of victory in this good year, 1912, and this hope is inspired by the harmony that has been in evl- dence ever since Oscar Underwood became the party leader on the floor of the House of Representatives. While there is a disposition on the part of some democrats of recognized force to oppose Underwood's broad and sane policies, there never has been a time since the Civil war, perhaps, when there was so much genuine agreement among real leaders of the democratic party as there IS today; and among the masses the note of united party sounds and revivifies.
 In former campaigns several issues have been pressed, but in this years contest the tariff will be the one great issue. Tariff for revenue only made compelling appeal in 1875 when MT. Tilden was the democratic standard bearer. The same issue was popular in 1884 when Cleveland was elected the first time, and it was even more popular when he was elected in 1892.
 So long as the democratic party stands by Jeffersonian principles and resists radical tendencies it will com mand the unbounded respect of patrl- otic Americans, and standing on a sound tariff reform platform and with a strong ticket the democracy will be triumphant once more in November.

Amusement Business Imnroy,nr

There was a great deal of complaint in 'heatricaii circles last fall of dull busj- ness, said George E. Stacy, business manager of Blanche Ring, "but conditions seem to have improved pretty generally since Christmas. Miss Blanche Ring. who comes to the Jefferson theatre for an appearance in the Wall Street Girl, has drawn crowded houses everywhere this season. If other managers have en- countered poor business Miss Rings com pany certainly has no cause to complain But generally speaking the amusement business in even so large and lively a city as Chicago has been poor of late, and until transportation facilities are improved Chi cago theatres will find it hard to hold their own.
 Every year makes a difference in Chi oago theatregoing population. It used to be that the majority of Chicagoans lived within easy reach of the places of amuse- ment. but now comparatively few of the better class reside in town It is fashion able to have homes 15 or 20 miles away from the business center of Chicago. When great big attraction is announced these suburbanites take the trouble to come to see it. but the attraction must be exceptionally strong. Nothing but an un- derground railway service will help the Chicago theatres" L

Captain Hobson on Canal Tolls

The Spanish government has all ready made provision by which the ships carrying its flag will have their Panama canal tolls refunded to them by the Spanish government. Captain Hobson believes other progressive governments will do likewise, and he adds, If we do not do as well our ships will be discriminated against in great waterway which we have built" The ships of our navy will pay no tolls, although foreign ships of war will, and our merchant ships should not be discriminated against.
 Captain Hobson proposes to add an amendment to the merchant marine bill providing for the payment of the tolls of American merchant vessels, and he is making strong fight in that direction before those who are interested in the prosperity and growth of American shipping.
 But how about the ships that the transcontinental railroads will send through the canal in their efforts to monopolize travel and traffic between the two seas?
