THE UNDERWOOD Boon

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

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 majority Of
nearly seventy. They had not had pos
session of the House for sixteen years
They were politically hungry and polit-
lcally thirsty. They needed sustcnancc
They thought they had chance to elect
a president i'll 1912 and get full swing
at all the perquisitcs and prcrogativcs
OF the Government; and each man Of
the two hundred and twcnty-cight Dem
ocrats was full of schemes for making
this chance certainty They were ali
anxious to revise the tariff in order to
keep faith with the people, but they had
many plans for revision and many
shades opinion as to how it should
be revised. They felt their power and

thusiastic and none too prudent.

BOLD PROGRAM
Good Politics and poiicy

The Underwood program contempates
sane reductions, not 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
economies. 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 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 none Of the advantage
he has lost.
c failure of the tariff commission,
y deprived the President of even a
timate excuse for further vetoes, and
!cs the Democrats ample reason for
Ding ahead without waiting years for
more reports of the same kind~-Ncqv

PLAIN WORDS ON BIG
QUESTIONS

(Extracts from interview of Os-
car w. Underwood, reported in
staff Correspondence Of the
Ncao York lporld, Editorial
Section, December 8, l9ll.)
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"
10 protect profits is to protect
inefhciency and to stranpulate
rather than to develop industry"
II prefer to lower the tariff wall
by taking bricks off the top of the
wall rather than by dynan,iting
the structure at the bottom"
The people have lost faith in
the Republican party because Il
has not kept faith with them"
If it (thc Sherman Act) is en-
forced as a criminal statute il is
an efficient instrument for pre-
venting and Furnishing monopoly
