We are not able to understand those democrats, who, in their zeal from other candidates, attack the democracy of Oscar Underwood. In the election two years ago, the voters dissatisfied, to use a mild term, with the kind of government the republicans had been giving us, turned to the democrats, and in so far as they could in that election, made the national government dem ocratic. The overturning was nation-wide, extending from Maine throughout the west. The demo crats went Into the campaign mak ing certain promises, chief of which was a redutclon of the tariff to a revenue basis and honest and econo mical administration of the govern ment. The republicans had prom ised two years before to reduce the tariff and had failed to keep1 the promise. The result Is history. The democratic house, fresh from the people with Its commission, met, de termined to do these things. But to do the work required of them It was necessary to have a leader, not merely a nominal leader, but a man who could shape legislation and who could inSpIro confidence In his lead ership and mold and hold his forces together. The choice of the demo- ftrAtn In ffxnarastu trim thla tyrant vrnrU , ..... Xell on Oscar Underwood. The re sult has justified the choice and Its Wisdom is being further shown every day.. The house is making a record that 'Is inspiring to democrats and the terror of republicans. It la a recWd Utti UPRsb bringing liope to go to the people with an account of their stewardship and ask for approval. Democratic leaders be- l iieve they will get that approval and i republicans have not been so fearful: of the result with respect to their , own fortunes in years. And yet j there 'are democrats who would hide that record and demolish their party's hope of victory for no other purpose, so far as we can see than to help some other candidate by hurting Oscar Underwood's can didacy. They seem to forget that in damning Underwood they are damn ing the party record and that if they succeed in convincing the voters that under Underwood the party has not kept faith with the people that it will be useless for the democrats to nominate anybody. For our part, we are glad we have had an Under wood in this crisis, and it lias been' a crisis in the party's life, for we be lieve he has made victory possible for any good man the party may nominate. Did you ever notice how file 'pub lic will storm and howl about graft and the get-rich-qulck '"schemes' that cover the country, and the first man that mounts a box around the coi ner and puts ; up a good spiel, will take all of their loose money and ' they go away ' satisfied? utiiil they try what they have bought? They "cuss" the man out and buy from the next that comes along, i: looks as if the more they get stung, the more they buy. Several years ago a man came through North Car olina selling tar soap. One of the axles of his buggy was covered with the soap, which looks a great deal like axle grease. He would wipe a clean piece of cloth on the hub, put a small piece of soap on the rag and wash it in a bowl of water for a few minutes and show the people what a wonderful soap it was; it would wash out grease in so short a time. When he was finally caught up with lie had made hundreds of dollars off of the easy marks. Hun dreds of people bit on the old gag of the seller buying back his stuff at double the purchase pike. A corner box man can make plenty of money by selling a small amount of prepared chalk and powdered pumice for the most wonderful tooth powder. The poor suckers could get more than that for half the price at a drug store. The more some people get gtung, the more they bite,, try ing to get for .something for nothing. Press Comment. The Tangled Web of Deceit. Here is what Turn-coat Teddy thought of recall of judges when Bryan was almost alone among poli tical leaders in advocating that in sane innovation; "Savages do not like an inde pendent and upright judiciary. They want the judge to decide their way and If he does not they want to be head him." In truth It may be said of the supple serpent of Oyster Bay that he has been doing little for the last ten years but turn upon his own trail:. ' "He has wired In and wired out Until the matter is in doubt. Whether the snake that made the track Was going on or coming back." He has apostasized from every ar ticle of political faith he ever es poused and would now be witlioOt a platform but that he has stolen the beliefs he had denounced as heresies when propounded by other men. Where Hearst and Bryan ;too.l when he was branding them as apostles of incendiarism, his .vay ward feet are planted now. Weie he a bird, he would be classified as a cross between the cuckoo and iho magpie.. Were he a fish he would be listed as half eel and half shark. If an animal, he would be exhibited at Smithsonian Institute as part Jackal and part hyena. As a man he shows the mixed traits of all these, nesting where he has not builded; chaterlng In glee at his own cleverness over plrflred Ideas; slip ping smoothly out of the clutches of promises and commitments; voraci ously swallowing the refuse of dead doctrines; lying In wait for earcatues slain by boiler foragers and not dis claiming to set lurea of pretended friendship (or the lambkins he luii marked for slaughter.

' ' ' HERE IS EVERYTHING FOR to determine which is his real and which is his merely professed atti tude towards ".any- public finest ion ; and he has put in circulation a, divers times so manv loose and con llictiug statements, that it would puzzle himself under sudden chal lenge to decide which 'represented and which belied bis genuine opinion or purpose. His case reminds us of that of a young lawyer similarly no torious for recklessness of t6ngue; One day an irate person rushed in upon him with the siartang ques tj0lu''iS. what, did you mean by telling that outrageous story about me?-'; and unable on the spur of the moment to recall the one. inven tion among so many, the perplexed disciple of Ananias .answered, "Which?" Virginian-Pilot:. The Only Proper Decision. The house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, in der iding to recommend that the ships of all na tions using ' the'-Panama .'Canal be put to the same footing. as to charges, alike evinces proper regard for M)l euin treaty obligations and con sults the interests of the people of the United. States, as a whole. To do otherwise would be at once to break the plighted faith of' the na tion and further to burden the great body of the American public for tne benetit of a preferred and privileged class. U is understood that a rale not to exceed $1.25 the net ton is to be named in the bill which the committee is now drawing. "Sucli a toll, it is . very generally agreed, would not check;- commerce through the canal, while- it would produce a revenue sullieient to "'-relieve the American peopie. of maintaining, a waterway,-. the cost of constructing which amounting to approximately half a billion dollars, has been drawn solely and altogether from their pockets. Steamship lines ow ned or controll ed by railway companies are to be allowed, .under .'the bill v. Lit li the committee is preparing to bring in. to use the canal only in cases wnere such use does not have the effect of. stilling competition; This pro vision, wliile aimed in the riuht di rection, docs not, in our" judgment, ' go far enough to ensure, with any degree of adequacy, consummation of the end sought.'-' The. .value, of me Isthmian waterwav in promoting water-borne commerce between ti e Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and so in cheapening interooastal rates.- is going to be, as we have more than once before attempted to point out, proportioned to the extent to which the transcontinental railways are prevented from dominating the wa ter lines. Will the provision noted above avail to prevent such domina tion? How. far can competition be discouraged and minimized v.itnout being actually "stilled" within the meaning or the proposed prohibition? These are both debatable questions, and the matter is far too important to be left in doubt or open to argu ment. In the -. interest alike of the American, merchant marine, of the shippers and of the country at large, It ought to be made absolutely cer tain that the railways will not be able to interfere with intereoastal trade through the canal, much less dominate or control it. And the only certainty in this respect, ac cording to our way of thinking, li;n In prohibiting the railroads of the country from owning, owning in, or controlling any way whatever any water line, Biive and except only in case where such water line forms an essential' link -of a railway sys tem. There is no logical or legiti mate reason why such prohibition should not be given the force and effect of law; there Is every reason why it should. VIrglnlan-Pilot. Hams and B. Bacon F. F. V.
