called patent monopoly, which

His term in the senate closed on the

year OF his service in the senate, but
shortly after retirement his throat be-
gan troubling him and OF late he has
not felt strong enough to leave his

when this became law at the recent

tyred president was made chairman
OF the Lincoln Memorial commission,

not consider It necessary to comment
on the efforts of Senators CumminS
Kenyon, Borah and Gronna to reor-
ganize the Republican party. Until
these gentlemen can show that their
plans are endorsed by Senators
Smoot. Crane, Penrose OF al, the re-
organization proposition consists OF
nothing more than personal inclina'

failed to cooperate. He has cast his

A True Leader of Men

n Representative Oscar w. Under
wood had done no more than write
the report OF the Committee on ways
and Means accompanying the new
tariff bill. his fame would be secure
AS veritable classic OF American
economy. that document hmanks with
Hamiltons report on manufactures
with Gallatin's report on the tarln,
with the speeches of Silas wright
and Henry Clay on the same subject,
and with Robert j. Walkers famous
report as Secretary of the Treasury.
In these various papers the student
will always find the best thought or
two antagonistic schools, brought
down to date.
But Chairman Underwood has done
more than that . AS leader OF the
House OF Representatives, as debater,
as parliamentarian and as manager
OF men, he has had few equals and no
superiors in Congress. He had an un-
wieldly majority to begin with. In
spite OF its principles. his party DUR
ing the long period OF Republican as
cendancy had In many OF its elements
developed an un-Democratic fondness
for privilege There were personal
and sectional interests to consider.
Yet under his guidance the House
with unanimity has passed a tarin
bill honest and scientific in its scope.
in keeping with prediction promises,
just in it's treatment Of the great In
terests involved and unquestionably
corrective of the wrongs against
which the people have SO long com
planned.
No one will deny that Mr.. Under
wood 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 ex-
celled In his own particular way. The
Republic as well as the Democratic
party is to be congratulated upon the
fact that in Chairman Underwood.

For many weeks the railroads OF
the country have been planning TO
present a formal appeal to the inter

mission to make a general raise In

the railroads over the previous month.
