GIVE THE NORTH A CHANCE.
Oscar W. Underwood Successful Demo
cratic Lfader.
The war lietween the states remov
ed the causes of Irritation between the
north unil smith and laid the founda
tion for h perfect peace. Kor a time
memories of the snuggle and of con
ditions resulting from It kept passion
and prejudice nlive. hut these gradual
ly disappeared. In lHliX, 187(1
aud iswi abuse of the south played a
prominent part In presidential cam-palgns-the
'tepubllcnns using It to
win vote-rihd then II censed.
Political Ittu...
Politicians ilo not ahandon Issues he
cause they iiiv not right. They nbnn
don Ihein because they are nnprofila
hie. II was the puhllc sentiment of
the north that decreed the burial n(
the bloody Nhlrt. The Republican
hoped for nothing from the south. Ho
far as the south nas concerned they
might as well have continued their
appeals to sectional animosity. They
dropied sectionalism because they
found It was costing them votes In the
north hecawu In the north a wide
spread sentiment had developed
against abuse of the south.
South In the Union.
The statue of Lee stands In the capl
tol at Washington. What was called
the "war of the rebellion" Is now of
ficially termed "the civil war." The
nation Is now careful not to wound the
feelings of the south. There are near
ly M senators and representatives at
Washington, and Heyburu stands
alone among them looked on as a
freak because he Iihs not divested him
self of war time prejudices.
Groundless For.
The south humus Lincoln, admires
Grant, cherishes no enmity against the
men who wore the blue when southern
men wore the gray, but does not give
the north credit for an equal breadth
of Americanism. It still clings to the
Idea, false for a quarter of a century,
that northern voters would be preju
diced against- a southern presidential
candidate. This suspicion is unjust to
the north, and we believe If It were of
fered the people of the north would
gladly embrace ' the opportunity of
proving that they are as broadly Amer
ican as the people of the south.
Give the North a Chance.
We waul to give them that oppor
tunity, and there will probably never
be as favorable a time as now. A
southern Democrat Is the leader In the
victorious tights In the house. He Is
the leader in shaping the Issues that
will divide the two parties In the cam
paign this year. T'nderwood Is the
logical candidate of the Democratic
party, and we believe his nomination
would create at the north a wider en
thusiasm than the Humiliation of any
other candidate would call forth.

RELiCiU,
There's more religion in some men's hearts
Than the world is ready to think
In the toil-grimed fellows who drive the carts,
In the clerks at their pen and ink;
In the diggers of trenches and hewers ol wood.
The builders of tower and steeple.
Under the husks of the world there is good
Let us trust in the hearts of the people !
There is more religion in some men's souls
Than the world ore knows is there
The charwoman scrubbing her way through lite,
The king with his world of tare;
In the weavers at spindles that click and sing,
In the men where ihe dynamos pun,
Deep down in their natures, like birdol a ung
The primitive instincts stir !
There is mure religion in daily lite
Than we give men credit for
In hcans that arc hardened with i umv su ite,
In souls that are red with war;
In homes and hovels, where men are
The pity und stress aud sirain.
There is something benniih the skin nut's in iunc
To another song than of gain
There is more leligiuo in all this Wntl
Of noisy and cunsunt steam
Than men get credit for more of God
Than mosi of us ever dream,
There is more of the simple old faith andirust
In (he harsh soul, dark with care,
Than we think when we hear them amid the dust
Lift curses instead of prayer.
There is more religion in some men's brans
Than the world has any idea of
The dirt-smeared toiler who drives ihe carts
May not be an angel of love,
But he feels deep under his smut and grime,
And he speaks of it under his breath,
The spirit of God in a godless lime,
Eternal as love and death !
It can't be measured and can't be told,
This worship and faith so sweet,
But it's there in the country's green and gold,
And it's there in the city street,
And we need not fear for the old world s end,
For the cause is small, if any;
And God is a good and a constant friend
To ihe hearts of the human many I
THE UNDERWOOD WAY.
Too Busy to Blow; Too Earnest to Parade; Too
Modest to Brag.
The average reader of political news nnd the great mass of luttlllgent
American voters hod hardly heard of Oscar t'uderwood of Alabama till
two yeiirs niro. They then bexon to ask, "Where has this man been all
these days'"
Underwood a Worker.
The solution Is simple, logli'iil nod of genuine credit to the subject of
the discussion, lie luid simply been at work. The Underwood way la
not the binned mid blazoned wn.v Ills progress has been steady, but
there have been no loud announcements of the stages reached ou the
journey upward. There luis been no meteor business III his. It baa been
a steady, fllckerless licht, Kmwini; more and n.ore steadily brilliant aa tt
grew normally to needs mid conditions and possibilities.
The T'ndernood way Is exemplified In the significant record of bla
biography In the Congiessliuml Iiei ord. Where there were from twenty to
forty lilies telling the life story of the other senators and representatives
there are Just live terse, well pin ked, fact full. Hues about Underwood.
The congressmen furnish the uniterlal for the "copy" In this biographic
sketch '-usually their early life struggles, their triumph over difficulties,
modestly veiled naratives of their winnings by figured majorities over
opponent'i, w hom they miiiTled aud who married them and a good deal
more.
Own Statement of Record.
Underwood didn't even furnish his middle name to the publisher.
Here's his legend:
"Alabumn. -Ninth dlstrlct.-Countles: Itlbb. Itlount, Jefferson and
I'erry Nuiutles; populatlou (llHih, aoi.tl-to. Oscar W. Underwood, Demo
crat, of Hlruiiiighnni, was tsiru lu Louisville, Jefferson county, Ky., May
fl, 18(12; was educated at Itugby school, Louisville, Ky., and University
of Virginia; was elected to the Fifty-fourth, Fifty-fifth, Fifty-alitu,
Fifty-seventh, Fifty-eighth. Fifty-ninth, Sixtieth and Slxty-flrat con
gresses mid re-elected to the Sixty second congress."
Record of Achievement.
That's all. That's enough. It's a record of juat plain, bard progres
sive, Increasingly effective nnd eminent public service. That's the way
he has been advancing. That's the reason you never beard of hli rise
years ago his progress like a meteor and most likely his disappearance
Into space and darkness, lie's been too busy to blow, too earnest to
parade, too modest to brag, 't he opportunity came for leadership; then
the years of quiet study, of steady practice, of practical experience be
gan to tell. The stored Information, the accumulated wisdom, the great
reserve force, dangerous to his enemies and a supply of strength for tbe
lvino.'VMtlc ranks, became known.

Tariff the Deciding Issue of the Presidential
Campaign.
"The attacks on Mr. Taft's tariff record by the Hoosevelt brigadiers,"
says the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, lndeiieudeut, "would be more
effective If Mr. Roosevelt had any tariff record at all except oue of abso
lute negation." That oue sentence exposes the absolute weakness of the
Republican party and the absolute strength of the Heinocratle party pro
vided the latter organization develops the homely gumption to realize
its Impregnable vantage ground. The tariff will be the dividing Issue of
the approaching campaign. Attempts to sidetrack It will ls as futile a
would be efforts to Invert the tides Tafl'a tariff record Is shot ridden.
Conceding even the far flung contingency that he may approve bills
passed at the current session, Iieuioeraey will get the credit for theni.
Roosevelt has uo tariff record at all save of "alwiolule negation."
Through seven aud a half years of opp irtunlty he could wner "see" tbe
tariff save lis a possible trap to treat gingerly. Who stands out of the
