A TRUE LEADER OF MEN

From the New York World.
If Representative Oscar w. Under
wood had done no more than write the
report of the committee of ways and
means accompanying the new tariff bill
his fame would be secure. As a'verita-
BILE classic of American economy, that
document ranks with Hamilton's re-
port on manufactures, with Gallatin's s
report on the tariff, with the speeches
of Silas Wright and Henry Clay on the
same subject and with Robert j. Walk
er's famous report as Secretary of the
Treasury. In these various papers the
student will always find the best
thought of two antagonistic schools,
brought down to date.
But Chairman Underwood has done
more than that. AS leader of the House
of Representatives, as debator. as par
Humanitarian and as manager of men,
he has had few equals and no superiors
in Congress. He had an unwieldy ma
jority to begin with. In spite of Its
principles, his party during the long
period of republican ascendancy had
in many of its elements developed an
un democratic IOnuneSS 1Or privilege.
There were personal and sectional in
terests to consider Yet under his guild
ance the House with unanimity has
passed a tariff bill honest and scien-
tiic in its scope, in keeping with pre-
election promises. just in its treatme mt
of the great interests involved and un-
questionably corrective of the wrongs
against which the people have so long
complained.
No one will deny that Mr.. Underwood
| owes much to the congressional
| pioneers of this reform. Randall, Nor
rison, Mills, Springer and William L.
Wilson were very great men In some
respects. Each had distinction of mind,
character or manner Each excelled in
his own particular way. The republic
as well as the democratic party is to
be congratulated upon the fact that in
Chairman Underwood have been hap

tion their determination, their reason,

From the Popular Magazine.
Abe Erlanger, of the theatrical firm of
Klaw & Erlanger, was rehearsing a mus
cal comedy for its first presentation in
small eastern town. The orchestra, which
place. persisted in such an extravagant
indulgence in discords and false notes
that Mr.. Erlanger became peeved and
acid in his remarks. His language was
picturesque and peppery. At last the or
chestra, consisting for the most part of
foreigners, grasped their trusty drums,
horns and trumpets, and beat it into the
garish light of day. The producer con-
fronted with the knowledge that, without
the musicians, the show could not be put
on, lifted a few more perorations toward
the roof, and begged the local manager of
the theatre to persuade the orchestra to
return and finish the rehearsal.
The manager sought the disgrunted
men and addressed them on the sidewalk
as follows
You fellows ought not to pay any at
tention to that guy. He's a nut, dippy,
loose at the top. He used to be a big
Snowman. but ne broke up, and they sent
him to a sanitarium. Just the other day
they let him out, and shipped him down
here in the. belief that, if he got into the
atmosphere of the theatre again, it might
Faid his recovery. Go on back to your
places, and, when he raves at you, pay no
attention to him..
Accordingly, the orchestra trooped in
again, and, whenever Erlanger let loose
a storm of words at them, they merely
smiled indulgenty, and blew the very
soles of their feet through the horns
After the rehearsal ended, Erlanger
mcpped his brow fevershly, and asked
the manager:
How in the world did you persuade
those boneheadS to come back?"
"Oh, that was easy enough" replied the
manager airily. Il just told them who
MIR Erlanger was"

Thc Police of Inrge Cities

IA great deal Of corruption has been
brought to light in the police departments
of large cities" said an old citizen, 'aud
police graft within recent years seems to
have been frightfully prevalent.
Il have spent a good deal of time in
New York and Chicago and I know that
as bad as the reputation of the police force
of those cities is only a small percentage
of the individual members are guilty OF
wrong doing. Corrupt local politics in
the big cities is responsible for such rot
tenness as does exist Even in so large
a police force as New Yorl- maintains, bad
men should be next to impossible and
would be if the politicians were not in ev-
idence.
Il was in London some years ago and
had occasion to learn a great deal about
the personnel of the police of that great
metropolis. It used TO be that the Lon
don policeman was called stupid,S but /
found him alert and a man of excellent
manners. | have come in contact with
ruffians on the New York police force,
although such men are not the rule even
In Gotham. But what impressed me most
favorably in London was the high moral
standing of the policemen. Such thing
as graft seems to be unknown there even
today.
I'm this country there has been a great
deal of reform talk and some genuine re-
form, but New York, Chicago and San
Francisco will never have model police
departments until they are entirely segre-
gated from politics There is no more ex-
cuse for a policeman being bribe taker
or a side partner of law breakers than
there is for any other public servant be-
ing guilty of crime. If the boards whose
duty it is to select men for the police
force were themselves independent of ring
politics and were careful in choosing
police material, a much better state OF
affairs would be found in the great

The Confederate veterans

"The Confederate Veterans reunion
in Chattanooga this month Will be big
affair, but each year the reunion is
tinged with sadness because death has
claimed so many familiar faces said
the son of a veteran
II remember the war but was not old
enough to carry a musket even in the
last year of hostilities. 1 make it rule
to attend the reunions and nothing
gives me greater pleasure than to clasp
the hand of those who fought for the
Lost Cause. Fifteen years ago many OF
the great Confederate generals were
not only living but were active par
ticipants in the reunion. 1t gave me a
sine thrill to see them in the parade
but, alas, most of the gallant men who
achieved fame on the field of battle
have passed over the river and the rev
colonels and generals left are too OLD
to attend these annual occasions and
exchange greetings and tell of heroic
deeds.
General Simon Bolivar Buckner, ex-
governor of Kentucky, is still living
but he is now 90 years of age and, l
am told, very feeble. He is West
Pointer and was a professor at tne
academy in the 40s. He distinguished
himself a young lieutenant In the
Maxican war and was one OF the ablest
generals in the Confederacy. At Fort
Donelson he was third in rank on the
Confederate side. When l was small
boy General Buckner was, to me, one
of the great heroes of the day.
But Notwithstanding the decimated
ranks of the veterans the Chattanooga
reunion will be largely attended, for
'the sons and daughters and other vfsi-
tors will help swell the crowd.

ID. Hoge of Richmond, who died at

DR. Ben Palmer of New Orleans, who

reunion DIR. Palmer delivered an ora

the outcome philosophically and with
the true American spirit. 1t was a

Currency Reform This Summer

Many senators and representatives
desire a summer of leisure far away
from Washington which has ten
dency to become overheated. This de-
sire is wholly natural, and yet it is
one that should not be sought at the
expense of the country.
The country has been promised tariff
reform and currency reform, and the
President no doubt thinks both should
come at one time. The big programme
of the democratic party would then
be before the country for four-years
trial, which is not one bit too long a
time in which to test such great
changes.
Mr.. Underwood seems to think that
preparations should be made looking
to a currency bill in December. This
may meet the expectations of many
but still if the President prefers quick
er action it would seem to be best tc
conform to his wish, for upon him
rests no little of the great responsi.
bility.
1t is a choice between bill This
summer and bill next winter, and il
it is believed that the two great re.
forms of the democratic party should
come together in order to let the big
readjustment come at once to be fol
lowed by peace and prosperity, surely
senators and representative will put
aside personal preferences and get
right down to their jobs. The comfort
and happiness of 9O,OOO,OOO people i.

Alabama Cotton

of course, 1t is too far ahead to esti-
mate the size of the cotton crop which
VIII be produced In Alabama this year,
but in a general way the outlook is
good,' said a man who keeps in touch
with the cotton situation.
Allowance has to be made for the
point of view which the farmer takes
when talking about the crop. If he still
holds cotton he naturally wants to see
the price go up and consequently he talks
blue about the planting situation and the
young growing crop. In other words, he
talks short crop. On the other hand the
farmer who has no cotton to sell but who
wants to strengthen his credit gives
roseate accounts of the growing crop. I
do not mean to say that farmers misrep-
resent crop conditions. They do not. But
1t is human nature for a man to think,
and think honestly. that the outlook is
not good for big crop so long as he has
several bales on hand yet unsold.
THE boil weevil may do a great deal
more harm than some of us have been
thinking, but it is my guess that Alabama
will make a 100000 bales crop this year"

New York's New Collector

The appointment of John Purroy
Mitchell to the collectorship of the
port of New York is happy and ex-
cellent settlement at the very heart of
politics. 1t goes to show that the Pres
ident is wholly at home in politics, and
that no tangle can arise that he can
not find a good road out of. He
avoided any disagreement with Sen
ator O'Gorman, and he appointed a
collector who stands high in New
York. Mr.. Mitchell has acceptably
filled prominent appointments, and yet
he wears no mans badge, least of all
Tammany's. When President Wilson
reaches hard problem he solves it by
using his gray matter, and he will be
found equal to all things that arise
in the future as he has been in the
past.
Those who considered him a school
teacher are beginning to see that he
is master in politics also The man.
ner in which he undid the tangle that
had arisen between Secretary McAdoo
and Senator O'Gorman is proof that
he can and will straighten out any
trouble that arises in the party or in
public affairs. Only words of praise
are now heard of the appointment of
John Purroy Mitchell

EVENING coJLARs AND TIES

An authority on mems apparel, writing
in the April 90 issue of Mems Wear and
the Chicago Apparel GazetteA says:
In London they speak gladly of the
disappearance OF the small wing collar.
They say it was bad collar at any time
There are those that quite agree with
that opinion here. l have endeavored to
discredit it for a year. and more, and
have shown the one with large pointed or
rounded wing that was being worn with
e, ening clothes. This winter there ap-
poared here the bold wing collar, with the
space between the points where the wings
turn at the bottom. The wings were
ironed fiat, and the bow was tied ouside
the wings, as was the fashion many years
ago. This collar was wArn by men of
fashion in those other years. and it will
be worn again as a smart collar, and
welcomed by men l nave seen endeavoring
to find comfort in the impossible collar
with the small wings. The evening ties
with these collars will not become broad
er; on the contrary, they will be mar
rover. | have already observed on such
men as 1 have mentioned, and in one or

this shape for the neatness of It, especial.
ly after the appearance of the ordinary
bre ad evening tie that one sees pinched
and mussed in the center. This mussed
effect applies to so many white waist
coats that are worn, too. l cannot COM
prehend why men will have their even
ing waistcoars starched. The pique, duck
or whatever the washable material may
be, has sufficient substance to set prop
erly without being stiffened. The starch
only hastens and emphasizes the creas-
ing. One never sees a man that really
knows about the practical wearing of
these waistcoats with anything but a soft
finish in them. This stiffening Is as con-
trary to what is right as is the polish

result of that decision. but 1 tell you I've

much of song, but audiences seemed to
like 1t and when l went into vaudeville
the manager that booked me asked me
to sing it.
II did, with the result that 1t made a
big hit. l didn't like to sing it, didn't
like the idea of singing about myself-but
managers told me it was good business,
I 1t was good business for them Peo-
