Te Leader Underwood.
Washington—President Wilson made
public today a letter to Majority
Leader Underwood of the house In
which he reviewed the achievement a
of his administration, outlined the
program for the next session of con
gress, an<l declared “the democratic
party la now tn fact the only Instru
ment ready to the country's hand by
which anything can he accomplished."
The president wrots the letter as
an endorsement of all democratic
members of congruss In lieu of the
speeches he said he would like to
make In every congressional district.
He predicted victory for his parly In
the elections because "every thought
ful man sees that a change of parties
Just now would He! the clock back,
not forward," and because "a practi
cal nation la not likely to reject sucli
a team, full of the spirit, of public ser
vice, and substitute. In the midst of
great tasks, either a party upon
which a deep demoralisation hns fal
len, or a party wdiloh has not grown
(o a stature that would warrant its
assuming the responsible burdens of
stats."
Present Congress.
The ’egislatlve program begun dur
ing the present congress was declar
ed by the president tn have been be
gun “to destroy private control ami
set business free.” He said that the
people of the country had been serv
ed by this congress as “they have
never been served before.”
Outlining the work already accom
plished. Mr. Wilson mentioned the re
form of the tariff, the passage of the
new currency bill, the anti-trust hills,
and the handling of foreign problems
He said he doubted If "there has ever
been a finer exhibition of team-work
or of unhesitating devotion to the ful
fillment of party pledges.”
Praising the new tariff bill, the
president asserted that "private con
trol had shown its atnlater face on
every hand In America, had shown It
a long time, and sometimes very
brazenly, in the Irusls, and In the vir
tual domination of credit by atnall
groups of men." He said that high
prleea did not spring directly from
the tariff, but out of the suppression
of competition which flourished more
easily under the protection or u high
tariff. He declared that the panic
which opponents of the new bill pre
dicted, had not come, and that de
spite th» European war there ’tad
been sufficient time to prove the suc
cess of tho act.
Trad* Commission Bill.
The trade commission Mil ami the

oda of compel It ion,” which would be
eliminated by the new legislation
"Monopoly ‘a to he cut off at the
ruota," ha declared.
"If ottr party were to be called upon
to name the particular i>olnt of prin
ciple In which it differs from lta op
ponents moat aharply and In which
It feela itaclf moat definitely minium -
ed by experience,” continued the
prekldeiit, “we ahould no doulit eay

It altogether; while our opponents
were ready tn adopt It Into the realm
of law, and *eok merely to regulate It
and moderate It in It* operation. It
la our purpose to destroy monopoly
and maintain competition as the only
effectual Inutrument of tmslnras lib

Justice to Workers.

and happiness of a living human be

Of the currency hill, Mr. VVUann
said "wa have created a democracy
of credit such as has never existed
tn this country before.” lie declared
that "credit la now at the disposal of
•vary man who can show energy and
assets." and because control of the
aystem rested with the government,
aald "It Is self-government aa well as
democracy.”

THE SEIZURE IF

Not Yet Known What Steps

Cruiser.
Halifax, N. S—Just what plan would
be pursued with regard to the Amer
ican tank steamer Brindilla, seized by
the British auxiliary cruiser Caronia
and brought here yesterday, could not
be learned today. It is supposed that
the Brindilla, which was formerly tho
German steamer Washington, whs

APPEAL TO NINE
COTTON STATES
EOR ACTION
If Disaster is to be Averted,
Extreme Measures Necessary
at Once, Says General Bibb
Graves.
Montgomery, Ala —Oen. Bibb Graves
| chairman of the Alabama democratic
executive committee, today issued an
appeal to tho democratic party of nine
other cotton producing states for a
concert of action to relieve the cotton
j situation.
| Chairmen of the following state
| democratic committees have been
; appealed to: North and South Caro
lina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi,
Jxmislana, Texas, Oklahoma and Ten
nesson. In his message General
Graves says:
' If disaster Is to be averted extreme
: measures are necessary and the states
jof the solid south must quickly work
out their own salvation.
“The state organizations of the
democratic party are the means
through which this can be attained.
“I think we should each cause the
gonstituted democratic authority in
our respective states to call, at an
early date a conference, caucus or
convention of the democratic govern
ors and legislators, or democratic
nominees for these offices to work out
all necessary details and agree upon
some effective plan of concerted
action.
Speaking
... THE...
Public Mind
AGAIN THEY LIFTED UP THEIR
VOICES CRYING WOE.
To The Iferald:
To the Authorities; to the World:
Now thin letter Is guaranteed Ken
nine. I’have waited at least a week,
though it. seems to me like a month,
before nmklriK any further remarks
about the condition of the roads.
If the authorities cannot, will not,
and are not going to fix the streets,
then l should humbly crave to suggest
that we change their names. Let us
say Greene's Gully, Fifteenth Ditch,
and The Wrightsboro Atrocity.
Walton Way Is beyond even being
re-named. Let it he erased sadly
from the map and let houses be built
on it. The people would ’at least
have ready-made cellars. Of course
it is acknowledged that the recent
work of rain played havoc with the
roads, but the complaint is that ap
parently no effort has been made to
repair the domage. We have had a
week of sunshine since. CAN'T some
thing be done shout it?
If it Is that the authorities have ab
solutely no money, let them at least
say so. The nntoniobllists would get
together and have laws passed to tax
themselves If by so doing they could
contrive to have something besides
plowed fields and dried river-beds to
run on.
LONG SUFFERING.
(Lord, How Long.)
THE WAR AND DISEASE.
To The Herald:
It Is not the guns, the flying ma
chine or the submarines the sword or
(he bayonet, the rifle or the laiwe.
that will end this great war. It will
be disease.
The nation whose soldiers can be
kept free from dysentery, typhoid,
cholera and diseases of the respira
tory tracts wilt win.
Surgical art and careful nursing, as
also the improved treatment of the
wounds and first-aid treatments, will
go a long way in alleviating suffer
ing, but all this is like a drop of wa
ter in a bucket when compared with
the gastro-intestlnal .disorders which
follow the use of Infected water and
bad food, and the respiratory trou
bles which are caused by damjmess,
cold and bad air. The nation, then,
that will have the means to sterilise
the alimentary canal and the respira
tory tract ns a prophylactic and cur
ative measure will win In the end.

NEW FLANDERS
FIGHT, ALLIES
ON DEFENSIVE
Predicted Advance of Anglo-
French in North France Will
be Uninterrupted. From the
Oise to the Meuse, Nothing
To Fear.
Paris, 6:45 a. m.—An uninterrupted
offensive movement by the allies at
certain points In northern France was
predicted here today as the battle was
resumed. The re-taking of Armen
tieres, on the River Lys, on the Bel
gian frontier, and the occupation ten
miles west of Lille of the right line
leading towards Douai via. Givenchy
and Fromelles was considered as con
stituting an excellent advance guard
position by reason of its numerous
places of support. This, with the prog
ress in several other sections, no-,
•ably Arras, gave the allies hope of a
continuance of their advance.
Lieutenant Colonel Rousset, the mil
itary critic, in reviewing the military
situation refuses to concur In the
statement made that the battle of the
Aisne has been definitely won by the
allies.
"One never knows what will hap
pen, he says, "and while the enemy
will not'take the return route, a re
vival of its activity can be produced
tn another vicinity, especially If the
Germans see .their maneuvers in the
north are endangered. But it is cer
tain that upon the horizontal line front
the Oise to the Meuse the allies have
nothing to fear.
The New Battle.
"As to the new battle, that of Fland
ers. It is clearly offensive on the allies’
Hide, the circumstance which Inspires
us Is that it will develop on ground
more favorable for attack than for de
fense and that troops can easily defile
for aggressive movements.”
ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL LAIR
SHOWS WHAT THE SOUTH CAN DO
IN RAISING LIVESTOCK AND FOODS
Birmingham, Ala.—There have been
wany communications from various
ports of I lie country showing that the
adverse cotton market Is directing the
attention of the farm' r to the necessity
of diversification In his farming opera
tions. (train, hay, forage crops, vege
tables, cattle and hogs are receiving
large consideration.
It should be considered almost an
economic crime to bring Into Alabama,
from any other section. a bushel of
corn, a bale of hay, a pig, a sheep, a
gout, or a cow. On the contrary, Ala
bama should rise to the opportunity
and should go to work in dead earnest
to take her place In supplying the world
with foods of all kinds for which there
will ere long be the greatest and most
wide-spread demand ever had in the
history of this country.
Any one attending tile recent Agricul
tural hhir at Birmingham, Ala., could
not but he Impressed with the Hunts
ville exhibit, which, by the way, took
the first prize, from the quality of the
stuff produced and from the great va
riety of the growths exhibited. This
was an ocular demonstration of the
ability of this state for furnishing the
very greatest variety of products. All
that Is needed is an Intelligent going
about the Ifreaklng away from the old
system and the entering heartily Into
the new.
The Importance of the value of the
principle of living at home applies
most forcefully to the one-horse
farmer The man with ?0 acres and
a mule can live at home and live
like a lord. If the frugal system of
Europe, which ere long will obtain In
this country anyway, would govern
the tlllrts of this soil, H would not

THE PRESIDENT
AND RELIEF IN
COTTON CRISIS
Anxious for the Lever Ware
house Bill to Pass. Thinks
Success of Plan for Loans to
Planters Depends on it.
Washington.—President Wilson is
anxious for the house to immediately
pass the Lever bill, for the establish
ment of cotton warehouses, and said
today that he believes the success of
plans for loans to cotton planters de
pends on this bill. It has already been
passed by the senate.
This Is the only legislative propo
sal for the relief of the cotton planters
which the-president has approved.
Regarding suggestions for the re
striction -of the cotton crop next year
the president told callers that in his
opinion this was entirely'a state ques
tion.
THE EVACUATION
OF VERA CROZ
Pres’t Wilson Makes it Known
That Administrative Ques
tions Have Been Sent to Mex
ican Convention by Carranza.
Washington, D. C.— President Wil
son revealed todav that administra
tive questions incident to the evacua
tion of Vera Cruz by the American
forces had been referred by General
Carranza to the national convention at
Aguas Calientes.
Consul Stillman who conferred with
Gen. Aguilar at Vera Cruz, reports
that the latter has given assurances
that ail the points will be satisfac
torily adjusted.
Administration officials here believe
the action of the convention will be
binding upon any future government in
Mexico. This government has not al
tered its plans to withdraw the United
States forces but is asking merely that
questions of administration be settled
before the troops depart from Vera
Cruz.
be difficult for the tenant farmers
to learn that on a very few acres of
land he could put about himself and
family all that goes to make the
city man's' table inviting, and that
he could put enough money In his
jeans to enable his family to present
a comfortable appearance wherever
they might choose to show them
selves.
When this condition obtains ig the
South, where ft is easier for it to be
worked out than anywhtTe else, each
county will he self-supporting and each
community will be self-sustaining; then
will be the time when cotton will be so
much velvet.
This also will lead to the decrease in
the acreage of cotton, if that be neces
sary. or it will lead to the storing of
cotton, and certainly It will lead to the
farmer's understanding that lie must
handle himself. If ha would not be prey
ed upon; that he must use Ills own in
telligence. If he would not be duped;
that he must plan Intelligently If he
would not be upset by every changing
circumstance, by fair means, and by
hard labor.

Taft Asks Reform
Marriage, Divorce
Washington.—Reform in marriage
and divorce laws through uniform state!
legislation was urged by former Prest-7
dent Taft today in a brief address *
before the commission on uniform
state laws. The former president con
demned the “looseness with which the
marriage is looked upon in many
states.”
Mr. Taft placed himself on record
as flatly opposed to "tinkering” with
the federal constitution under present
conditions.
