Americans in Mexico

This government demands fair and just treatment of all Americans in Mexico. It demands this at the hands of Orozco, the rebel leader, as we'll as at the hands of President Madero.
 This does not necessarily mean in- tervention, but it renders intervention possible whenever the United States desires to attempt it. It is to be hoped both Orozco and Madero will strive to give all Americans just and adequate protection, for intervention would be a misfortune to both countries. It would cost this country untold mil lions. Some think it would double the national debt. It would render Mexico hostile to this country for generation at least.
 General Orozco was reached through the American consul at Chihuahua, whom he was reluctant to recognize because the United States withheld recognition of the rebel cause. At present this country is aiding in a material way the regular government of President Madero, for the right to import arms and ammunition is con- ceded to the latter but not to the rebels. No doubt this renders Gen eral Orozco sensitive to the point of unfriendliness. Orozco will, neverthe- less, be notified of the demand of the government for the fair and just treat ment of all Americans. This country could not well do less.

UNDERwooD,s STEADY PRoGREs

From the Mobile Register.
 The fortunes of the several possible candidates of Clark, Harmon, Wilson. Gaynor, Marshall. Foss, Dix and so on, vary from day to day. Now 1t Is Wilson, then it is Harmon and next it is Clark that seems to have the ascendency. There were observers ready some months ago to risk their reputation as prophets that Woodrow Wilson had a walkover prac- tically; then came others who said that Harmon can carry New York and Ohio, and necessarily is the only man that should be nominated; and later still Champ Clark and the "drwg" song have captured the center of the stage NexV week the turn may come to other dis tinguished sons of democracy.
 Amid changing scenes, however there is one quiet actor whose progress in the public's estimation is always in one di- reetion. Oscar Underwood of Alabama has not flashed upon the scene. like a popular vaudeville performer; but has labored half generation at the drudging work in Congress, a work designed and tdiittu tufNdIu WitH tnt Slllsfe tnpuSni of making conditions of life in this coun- try better for the people It is a record noted chiefly for very close and intelli- gem mental and physical effort devoted to it and good results flowing from it, The young Alabamian has trained himself tc make success of his work; and there is no man in Congress better equipped than he for getting from Congress whai is essential for the public's welfare.
 This ability. which is very rare anc which denotes the statesman quality ir Underwood. has made impression upon the imaginations of men. Wherever Under

Taft and Roosevelt

Roosevelt carries the fair republican primaries, and Taft carries the bogus ones of the New York sort and the conventions which are more bogus still. Taft has carried no state that had just and honest primary sys- tenn. He has lost such states all the way from North Dakota to Pennsyl- vania.
 It cannot be claimed that he lost the Pennsylvania delegates because of any local issue of a Lorimer nature. He lost it because he is standpatter who has stood in the way of re- vision of the tariff to a revenue basis.
 Primaries and conventions will now be brought on rapidly, and perhaps the most interesting ones of the series will be the two to be held in Massa- chusetts and Ohio. In neither is Taft assured of success. If he loses both, he loses all.
 The day of the dark horses in the republican party is near at hand, and no dark horse can produce certificates showing that he can weld together the party that Taft and Roosevelt had split asunder.

Political Oratory

"A party convention Is always full of interest and in the south demo- cratic state convention is usually the occasion for much oratory," said an old democrat. "The democratic con- vention, which meets at Montgomery on Wednesday, will bring together representative party men from every county of the state and as but one ob- ject is in view-the election of Under wood delegates to the national demo- cratic convention-the utmost harmony
 will doubtless prevail. Several i'm promptu speeches of the patriotic sort will be in order and as Alabama has number of good speech makers who are democratic to the core, some illum- mating oratory will be heard.
 "It is well for democrats, especially young democrats, to hear Jeffersonian principles enunciated and elucidated Some of our orators can instruct and move and brace the party spirit in the wavering and lukewarm. But 1t some times happens that long winded ora tor gets the floor and although he talks as a statesman, he tires by his long windedness. I hope only such men
 as know how to condense will be called on to speak Wednesday. I am not a delegate to the convention noi have l proxy, but I will be an in- terested spectator and l am looking
 forward with great pleasure to demo- cratic eloquence'

Classical ComparIrion

"President Taft has been treated by the tariff benehciaries of Pennsylvania as was Acteon, who was torn to pieces by his own dogs" said Percy Clark
 "or, perhaps, like that other Acteon who was torn by his lovers, Think of his tariff vetoes; his Winona speech . the army of federal office holders in that Newcastle of protection, Pennsyl- vania, and in the language of the logi- cal humorist, 'Bizzy Izzy. why did they did it to Taft in the election of dele gates?

Wheat Prices Going Up

The reports of crop damage com bined with market manipulation are carrying up the prices of wheat. The stories of crop damage come from all parts of the country, but the more se- rious reports come from Illinois, h. diana, Missouri and Ohio. The dam age is said to date back to the first freeze which preceded the first heavy snowfall. It is admitted, however, that growing weather, with helpful rains, would bring much of the acre age out until it yields a fairly good crop.

The soutl,,. creat Future

"The south will probably increase Tn population faster within the present decade than in any former period of 30 years" said L. B. Mariner of De- troit T travelled a good deal in the south-Texas, Louisiana Florida, Geor= gia and Alabama-five years ago, and was impressed with the souths won derful resources; but I appreciate now more than ever what splendid opor- tunities await brains, industry and capital In the north one hears the south spoken of as the section espe- cially inviting to homesekers.
 The south is making steady ad- vances commercially and agriculturally and it seems to me entering upon genuine boom.
 q am a republican but have been much interested in reading about os- car Underwood in connection with the democratic ticket to be nominated in Baltimore. He has many admirers In the north.
 As to republican politics, I have an idea that a dark horse will be nom mated at Chicago; have been leaning to President Taft but I do not think he can make it."

A sunday wnIk

q don't know when I have enpoyed anything as much as did walk Sun day afternon." said H. s. Brown yester- day afternon.
 My wife and I rode out to Twenty eighth street and Highland avenue and walked over the mountain about two miles, The woods were just full of flowers and it was the prettiest sight imaginable. It makes a man feel young again to get out and pick flowers as he used to do when he was a kid.
 Right over the mountain we began to see Vioets, dogwood blossoms, crabapple trees in full bloom and flags in great pro- fusion. The mingled odors filled the air with the sweetest of perfumes and the air was delicious.
 "I don't think that very many people know what really beautiful scenery there is within two miles of the courthouse. Just over the mountain there is pictur- es,pe little spot where water falls about 50 feet It is rocky and wild, and is a beautiful little forest scene. Crabapple trees and dogwood trees and violets clus- ter around the water and it makes an ideal resting place. I was surprised to find it deserted Sunday afternon. We rested for half hour beside the falls just drinking in the beauty and the fresh smell of the earth.
 'Thcre are few more enjoyable ways of spending Sunday afternoon than in a ramb.e over Red mountain

Underwood Against Hughes

Charles E. Hughes was 50 years old last Saturday. He is the youngest justice of the supreme court. He is younger than Taft or Roosevelt or Harmon or Wilson or Bryan-younger than all who are prominently before the people save Underwood, who is 25 days younger still.
 To say that Hughes would refuse to accept the nomination of his party is nonsense. No American is great enough to reject so great an office the greatest in this world. As soon as it is demonstrated beyond reason able controversy that neither Taft nor Roosevelt can be elected, Hughes will heed the call to duty. No one has ever rejected nomination by either of the two great parties of the country, and no one ever will.
 Oscar Underwood is the second choice of millions of democrats. His record is absolutely untarnished. He is actually every democrats second choice, and Hughes may be said to be every republicans second choice.
 It would not be bit strange or re- markable should the two men be called upon to fight out in New York state a tariff campaign of deep importance, the one standing for tariff for reve- nue only and the other for tariff in which are tucked away numberless extraordinary profits for manufacture CTS only. New York would be the bat tie ground, and the result would not be a bit doubtful, simply because voters have deal of common sense They know that more high prices arc concealed in the tariff than in all else

A wanderer is man from his birth. By Matthew Arnold. He was born in ship On the breast of the river of Time; Trimming with wonder and joy He spreads out his arms to the light, Rivets his gaze on the banks of the
 stream. As what he sees is. so have his thoughts
 been. c
 Whether he wakes Where the snowy mountain pass Echoing the scream of the eagles, Mems in it's gorges the bed Of the new born, clear flowing stream; Whether he first sees light Where the river in gleaming rings Sluggishly winds through the plain; Whether in sound of the swallowing sea As is tho world on the banks, So is .he mind of the man. Vainly aoes each, as he glides, Fable and dream os tbe lands which the river of Time Had left ere he woke on it's breast, Or shall reach when his eyes have peeii
 closed, C,riy the tract where he sails He vots of: only the thoughts ,, Raised hy the objects he passes are ms Who can see the green eartii ans As she was by the sources or lime Who imagines her fields as they lay Tn the sunshine, unworn py 'he Pio" Who thinks as they thought, ,r,a tribes who then roamed on her breast, Her vigorous primitive sons! What girl
 Now reads in her bosom as clear As Rebekah read, when she sate At eve by the paim-shaded Wei 1Tho guards in her breast AS deep as pellucid a spring of feeling, as tranquil, as sure? What bard
 Al the height of is.vision, can deem If God. of the world. of the soul.
