Wool and the Tariff Board

In reporting back the original re- vision of the wool schedule Chairman Underwood scores the tariff board. "Thruoghout it's investigation of costs of production" says Mr. Underwood, the tariff board apparently considers the maintenance of the existing tariff, or something approXimating to it, fundamental and necessary. Thereby it adds very greatly to the cost stated as representative of the necessi- ties of the American wool and woolen industry under existing conditions. This is an error which runs practically throughout the whole report and which needs to be considered very carefully in order to rOlize the far reaching character of the modifica- tions which it involves"
 The board report is so fragmentary and incomplete the ways and means committee has decided after a careful analysis of it that it admits of no conclusions with reference to rates of tariff duty. The committee has there fore reported back the bill that Presi- dent Taft vetoed.
 The report of the ways and means committee is a searching analysis of the fallacies and pretenses of the tariff board and as such it should have wide circulation during the coming campaign. The Presidents defense of the tariff board is com pletely uncovered, and the entire sub iect is presented in it's true colors in Chairman Underwood's comprehen- siye report on the wool schedule. The untenable nature of a tariff board scheme of delay is mercilessly han died in it, and it is left with scarcely leg to stand on.

Politics in the Ensf

'It has got to be quite the fashion ir some quarters to say that Taft would not be reelected President, but in lny opinion it will take a remarkably strong democrat to beat him." said Hiram w Stephenson, who is connected with man. ufacturing interests in Boston.
 T have usually voted the republican ticket. My first vote was for Garfield ir 1880 supported Blaine with enthusiasm in 1884. I voted for Harrison in 1SSs Bui in 1892 I cast my ballot for MT Cleveland I intend to vote this time for MT. Taft as I did four years ago.
 "Roosevet is not being seriously con sidered as a candidate for the republican nomination. l have felt ever since he got Into the race that he was leading a hopeless contingent. If by any hook or crook he got the nomination l would be one of the thousands who would vote democratic this year, provided the demo crats put up a conservative man as stand ard bearer. If the democratic nominee was of the radical type I would go fishing rather than vote for Roosevelt. a repub- lioan radical. But we are going to have Taft and if he is defeated in November 1t will be because the democrats will have acted more wisely than usual"

Underwood and the South

Had Oscar Underwood been an avoWed candidate for the democratic presidential nomination when he first loomed up as great national charac- ter as chairman of the ways and means committee, the south, by this time, would have been absolutely solid for him. As it is, Underwood sentiment has developed so strongly as to assure a large vote for the Ala | bama statesman on the first ballot in the Baltimore convention. A most en- couraging fact regarding the situation is that Underwood is now the second choice in a great number of states, north and south, and it is plain that early in the conventions balloting Underwood will have the vote of the entire south.
 As convention time approaches dem ocrats everywhere appreciate Under woods singular fitness for the presi- dency and his vigor as leader. The democratic party has never lacked for trained politicians, and only in recent years has it lacked great constructive statesmen. But in statesmanship the party is coming to its own once more. Underwood is an ideal democrat, a politician of the best type and a bril- liant statesman-a leader entitled to rank with those historic characters that built up the party which was vic- torious in all but two presidential cam paigns from Jefferson to Lincoln.
 Yes, Underwood is growing. His modesty and his sense of propriety prevented his entry into the presiden- tial arena until few weeks ago. But the chances for his nomination are brighter and brighter every day. And with Underwood at the head of the democratic ticket, the party that has suffered so many and such crushing defeats in recent times, will sweeE the country in November.

THE UNDERWOOD BOOM
m the Baltimore American.

D rum bflo AinStitdH,
 Repf esentative Oscar Underwood has seen the launching of his presidential boom at the capital of the state. Accom- panied by friends, the southern aspirant for the nomination by his party has been to the former Athens of America and the modern Athenians there assembled in leg islative council have had an informal op- portuIity of hearing exploited the merits of the Alabama man, The demoora tic floor leader is in friendly country when he comes to Maryland, for this state is so strongly linked with the south that it has particular admiration for men of leadership in any line from that part of the country,
 The Underwood boom Is now sounding and the democracy will have before 1t the first full fiedged, outright candidacy of a far southern man for many years. This is important Rs indicating the wane of a sectional feeling. fact always gratify- ing. So that the appropriateness of the Underwood boom being set at liberty in this state is particularly striking. Mary land stands between the former sections, and while holding close sentimental ties with the south, oherishes it's federal re- responsibilities without regard 10 section. Mir. Underwood was welcomed at Annap- ols, and will always be welcome within the bounds of the state,

Extending Vocabulary

You can trust negro to fix it. said Detective Paul Cole yesterday. 'I don't care what comes up that attracts the at- tention of most everybody, a negro will always get off the best one on 1t.
 'Now, this Lewisburg matter has been quite a grave undertaking for all con- cerned in it. The negroes have looked on with their eyes open wide and their mouths wider, but one North Birmingham negro has already worked Lewisburg into his everyday vocabulary.
 This negro is named Abe. A day or two ago l was passing through North Bir- mingham when Abe and another negro Jim, were playing-just tussling around Jim picked up a brick and started tc throw it at Abe.
 But this brick throwing amusement didn't amuse Abe He said: 'Doan yo fling dat brick at me, niggah. Do, and I'll Lewisburg yo' sho'! Jim threw down the brick about as quickly as he could for he said that he certainly had no keen desire to be Lewisburged.

From the Mobile Register.
 Governor Brewer of Mississippi made a telling speech at Millsaps college in Jack sen, Monday, giving a reason for sup port of oscar w. Underwood. This was the excellent tribute he paid to Alabama $ congressman:
 Democracy is blessed with able lead CTS aspiring to the high office of Presi- dent l know Governor Harmon; I know Governor Wilson; I know Speaker Champ Clark. They are all good and great men, but out of the whole lot l have unhes- tatingy pinned my faith to Congressman Underwood, whom I am also proud to know, for l believe he is the best man of the lot to carry on the fight to make its pledges be redeemed with full perform | once. and I say this without the least disparagement of those others whom I admire also."
 The governor emphasized the tariff issue as the principal one of this campaign, and also emphasized the fact that MT. Undor- wood is the man who best understands and presses this issue upon public atten- ton. Said the governor:
 
 reading. They want to know what man stands for; what his party stands for. They know what Underwood stands for; he mas been absolutely consistent and straight along the line. They know what he Stands for, what the party stands for, and more than that they know he will put into execution what the party stands for and which he endorses as he is doing now"
 With eloquent words and a voice of | convincing power the governor made his patriotic appeal:
 | Lets go up to that convention for one time a united south, backing up south err man and stand up for him. Whether he is nominated or defeated, it will be the entering wedge; it will be the first act in | obliteration of sectional lines when a 1 southerner can be offered seriously and be received respectfully in national con vention for the office of President. Lets go to them in that convention and lay it down cold and flat, that here S a man from the rock ribbed heart of the real south and real southerner. and we | are for him, and mean it.'' | The Register believes that such an ap- peal is not addressed to the Mississippi people in vain. It is an appeal to reason as well as to patriotic sentiment. Ii should and will reach the heart of every worthy son of the grand old state. sister and nearest neighbor of our own loved Alabama.

AN OPIUM EATERS DREAM

From De Quincy's "The Confessions of
 an Opium Eater"
 Suddenly would come a dream of far different chaarcter-a tumultuous dream commencing with a music such as now l often heard in seep-music of prepara- ton and awakening suspense. The undula- tions of fast gathering tumults were like the opening of the Coronation anthem; and, like that, gave the feeling of a mutitudinous movement of infinite caval- cades filing off, and the tread of innu- merable armies. The morning was come of a mighty day-a day of crisis and of ultimate hope for human nature, then suffering mysterious eclipse, and laboring in some dread extremity. Somewhere, but I knew not where-somehow, but I knew not how-by some beings, but l knew not by whom-a battle, a strife, an agony, was travelling through all it's stages-was evolving itself like the catastrophe of some mighty drama, with which sympathy was the more insupport- able, from deepening confusion as to it's local scene, it's cause, it's nature and it's undecpherable issue. l Gas is usual in dreams, where of necessity we make our selves central to every movemenD had the power-and yet not the power--to de- eide 1t. l had the power, if l could raise myself, to will it; and yet again had not the power, for the weight of 20 At lantics was upon me, or the oppression of incapable guilt. Deeper than ever plummet sounded" I lay inactive. Then. like a chorus, the passion deepened.
 Some great interest was at stake. some mightier cause than ever yet the sword had pleaded, or trumpet had proclaimed. Then came sudden alarms; hurryings to and fro, regulations of innumerable fuGi- tives-I knew not whether from the good cause or the bad; darkness and lights; tempest and human faces; and, at last, with the sense that all was lost, female forms and the features that were worth all the world to me; and but moment all lowed--and clasped hands, with heart- breaking partings; and then everlasting | farewells, and with a sigh such as the caves of hell sighed when the incestuous mother uttered the abhorred name of death, the sound was reyerberated-eyer-
 lasting farewells And again, and yet | rberated-everlasting fareweils, And
 I awoiSe in struggles, and cried aloud, q will sieep no more"

Stephenson's Expense Account

When Senator Stephenson, the octogenarian lumberjack of Wisconsin, admitted that he had expended $107,- 793 in order to secure seat in the Senate, he really admitted that his election was corrupt. Senator Works resolution does declare the eXpendi- ture of the sum named is in itself an act of corruption committed with the purpose and intention of securing his election"
 The effect of seating a man who had admitted the expenditure of so large a sum will prove hurtful here after. Congress has, it is true, at tempted to limit expenditures in such cases, but there are many ways of concealing an expense account, and more Stephensons will appear from time to time. The seating of Stephenson is, in other words, a de- claration that purchased seat is as good as any other. For that is what an expenditure of $107,79 to secure ere office really means.

struetion and even in the construction of public buildings will enable the government to overcome deficits, thereby putting the national finances in strong condition. A policy of economy now and then should be adopted.
 The democrats are building well and wisely under the leadership of Mr. Underwood. He possesses their con- fidenee to remarkable degree, and the republicans may soon see that the democrats now have leader who makes few or no blunders. None have occurred thus far this session, and the republicans are beginning to lose heart and hope.

Pig Iron Market

Rogers, Brown x Co.'S Cincinnati re- port on the iron market, just issued, says:
 ''rhe week has seen somewhat quieter market in pig iron as far as buying goes, but an increase in price and a strong feeling for the future, The large tonnage booked recently has resulted in advances which are being well maintained and are being accepted by buyers for what ton- mage they desire and in many instances for as long period as furnaces will underr take to book There is feeling of un- certainty throughout the iron market, largely due to the fuel situation and short, age of both cars and coke, This has brought about the shutdown of some fur naces and strenuous efforts on the part Of others to obtain satisfactory supply in the face of threatening famine. All has had a tendency toward advancing the market on second and third quarter business par tioularly.
 "Ferro manganese, due to strike eond- tions in England, is mounting rapidly in rricc and is scarce The shortage of this in some quarters.
 "The coke market is firm at d much higher level of Prics than has beeH the case for months and while the demand is somewhat stacker than last week, there is no indication of anything but further advance in the future. This is true not only of spot shipment business, but con= tract requirements as well, the price on the latter having advanced during the recent furry.

ULSTER ESTIMATE OF BYRON

By John J. Stoddard.
 Of late years the world has been awak- ended to a juster estimate of Lord Byron. The family traits which he inherited; his sensitive organization: the faults and prejudces of his time, and, above all, the undue violence of public censure, which drove him to defiant scorn-a recog- hilton of all these has thrown a softer light upon his character. It has been seen that while with most great men their vir- tues are proclaimed their faults forgot ten. the sins of Byron have been better known than his good qualities; for he was not alone incapable of hiding his good qualities, but frequently was moved, by vanity or caprice, to make himself appear worse than he really was.
 Moreover. it is now better understood how different his character might have | been if he had had a different mother. A I worse parent for such child can hardly be imagined, Although at times indul- | gent to excess her temper bordered .on
 insanity. She rarely passed week with. out an outburst of hystericai rage, One day, after loading her child with abusive
 epthets, she mociSingly called him "a
 lame brat.' At this outrageous tauni a 1 fearful light came into the child's eyes, but he surpassed his mother in self con | trol, For a moment his lips quivered and | his face whitened then, very slowly, he spoke these five short words, "I was
 born so, mother" and turned from the
 woman who dared not follow him. Ye, Byron loved her; and after she was dead
 he was found weeping in the dark beside
 her lifeless form
