As Others See Ii
SENATOR UNDERWOOD SHOULD
NOT TAKE PART IN FARLEY
Jacksonville Metropolis

In desiring Senator Underwood of Alabama to
serve delegate to the disarmament confer
ence President Harding shows that he has con-
ceived a clever scheme to block Democratic OPP
position. However the chances are he will not
be able to carry it through. Aside from being
Democratic minority leader in the senate the
gentleman from Alabama is wise in the ways
of politics and cannot be deceived easily.
If the administration expects to make success
of the conference it must have Democrats as well
as Republicans in the delegation, for the danger
in failure to ignore the party of opposition
proved by the last Democratic administration;
but Mr. Underwood is not the man for the place
Not that he does not qualify-he does. being
of the ablest in the national capital today,
and under different circumstances his presence at
the conference would be welcomed, but at this
time it would place him in very peculiar posi-
ton. Acceptance would make him morally bound
to whatever conclusions would be reached, and
Democratic action, direction of which is in the
hands of the minority leader, would follow these
conclusions. One of the chief duties of the party
of opposition is criticism.
The Springfield Republican makes a strong
point in this connection:
The president must believe, cannot escap!
being the leader of his party, but he cannot be
allowed to he the leader and master of both par
ties if legitimate criticism in either branch of
congress is to flourish. President Mckinley sent
a Democratic member of the senate, George Gray
of Delaware, to the Paris peace conference of
1898 but he failed to influence thereby the policy
of the Democratic party in the Senate on the
question of ratfying the treaty with Spain Sen
ator Gray. after signing that treaty as President
McKinleys representative, found himself aban-
doned and isolated by his party colleagues. Sen
ator Gray's position would have been ever more
embarrassing had he been the titular and actual
leader of the senate Democrats
For this reason and others, Senator Underwood
should not "sit i'm at the conference There are
other Democrats however, who would serve cred
itably and with distinction. But the conference is
no place for leaders of the party. Upon these men
will fall the responsibility of directing criticism
and government without party of criticism
is in a bad fix-and they should not be bound by
"entangling alliances and the administration
would like to place the minority leader in this
position.

MEANS A GREAT STEP FORWARD

One Of the most important items of news APP
pearing in the daily press in many years is that
which tells of the efforts of the cattle rasers of
Florida to secure the passage by the state legisla
ture of statewide cattle tick eradication measurei
Heretofore the cattle men have, as a rule, been OPP
posed to cattle dipping but changed conditions
have brough a new viewpoint and they are quick
to realize and admit that the interests of Florida
can best be served by banishing forever the pest
which has caused the ban to be placed on Florida
cattle everywhere throughout the United States.
The minute the federal authorities said Florida was
barred. that minute spelled the doom of the cattle
industry under present conditions Great credit
is due the cattle men fer their action and rather
than volunteer criticism and such comment as Il
told you So, it would be muchIbetter for every
body to lead their moral aid and support in
Strengthening out the angle The way is open
for the removal of the quarantine That way is
through the elimination of the tick The govern
ment says this must be done; therefore there is
no option other than 10 comply. We venture
the prediction that within two years the cattle men
Of Florida will be glad that the present emergency
has arisen Florida will raise better grades of cat

Spent flickers in a mighty wind;
Then | shall know, as ali men know,
What lies the great grey veil behind.
There may be nothing but a deep
Unutterable void without a name,
Where no sun hangs, no dead stars
sleep,
And there is neither night nor flame.
There may be meadows there and
hills,
Mountains and plains and winds that
blow,
And flowers bending over rills
Springing from an eternal snow.
There may be oceans white with foam,
And great tall ships for hungry men
Who called our little salt seas home
And burn to launch their keels again.
There may be voices l have known
And fingers that have touched my
hair;
There may he hearts that were my

Love may abide forever there.

To live as through a pleasant land
Lay just beyond an open door?

UNDERWOOD SHOULD SERVE.

In another column appears an interesting article
from the Jacksonville Metropolis arguing that Sen
alter Underwood should sidestep the offer of place
on the armament conference because it Nigh put in
jeopardy his leadership of the Democratic minor
ity of the senate.
With all respect for our able Jacksonville con-
temporary, we believe it takes the wrong view of
this subject Senator Underwood owes his posi-
ton in the senate to his character and ability as
a statesman. The duty of statesman is to serve
the public The only question. therefore. which
should concern him is whether he can serve best
by going into the conference and helping to con-
struct its plan CT by staying out for the purpose
Of criticising, and possibly rendering nugatory the
result of its work
hat question, it seems to the Telegram, admits
of but one answer. The world is groaning under
the burden of ornaments. Unless relief can be had
civilization may be crushed No greater oppor-
tuny could ever come to any people than to assist
in the solution Of this problem. MIR. Underwood's
position in The conference will be unique. Not only
will he be the full equal in ability with any other
member, but he will sit as the sole representative
of one of the great political parties of this country
from which votes must be secured to ratify any
proposition that may be formulated He will
therefore be the most important member of the
conference, because it will be understood that he
carries the power to veto any of its proceedings.
Never in his life will the Alabama senator have
a greater opportunity to serve his country, and
thereby his party, than by going into the confer
ence, exerting all his great abilities to securing some
International agreement which will tighten the war
burden under which the world is staggering and
probably change the whole course of civilization
What MIR. Harding private motive may be in
offering this place to him is immaterial 1t can
hardly be desire to kill off party leader how
ever. since such slaughter could only come along
with the destruction of the agreement itself, in
which case leaders Of the other party will also
bite the dust. He might have maintained show
of non-partizanship by naming two or three Demo-
cratic figure heads on the conference. But instead
ct that he offering the place to the senate leader
and one of the ablest members of the Democratic
party. Without looking the gift horse in the
mouth he should accept the assignment and give
the country example of that constructive states

rates could be reduced fifty per cent while the
stockholders would not have to go to congress for
their dividends.
