Colonel Roosevelt has at leapt saved the steel investigation from withering away completely In Innocuous desue tude. Ill week-end visit to the com mittee's chambers, unbidden and un heralded, has revived Interest In it for those who have been following its serial grist' In the hope of detecting something to prick attention. The in quiry has not after all been In vain. 1 In the dispatches the former presi dent's voluntary appearance before the examining board from congress la de scribed as "dramatic," "unprece dented" and "characteristically Roose veltlan." Certainly. And what Is more, It serves, or should serve, to silence' those who have been declaring that President Roosevelt did not know what he was doing when he consented to this transaction In the Tennessee Coal and Iron company. It should put an end to the criticism that he was gulled Into doing something which now he dare not defend. Ills statements to the committee show clearly that he went Into this transaction wl(l) his eyes wide open, keenly appreciating its character and consequences, and with a reason for the faith that was In him, boldly as serts that he acted, as he believed then and now, "for the, public good," that quick decision was necessary to stem the threatening tide of a destruc tive financial current and that he de cided and acted as quickly as, it was posHlblc, that the results, in the light of four years' experience," have full? vindicated what he did. Never before was a president or former president of the United States called to explain or Justify his official actions, nor was Colonel Roosevelt called, except as he interpreted the temper of the country on the subject to be an implied Invitation for him to come and face his xrltlcs. The per formance again shows Roosevelt to be the man of iron courage and convic tion the country has believed him and he will have no difficulty in -convincing people that he acted Intelligently and wisely In that great crisis. Folk Bids for Bryan Approval. In the steadily lengthening line of democratic presidential candidates only, one thus far has answered all Mr. Bryan's thirteen test questions, Gov ernor Marshall having side-stepped certain of them, and this one, former Governor Joseph W. Folk of Missouri, answers them as, it is assumed, will suit Mr. Bryan perfectly, How long will Mr. Bryan give the others to an swer? Or has he, owing to the con stantly changing list of possibilities, decided not to fix a time limit as yet? And should Mr. Folk be the only one to make the desired responses, will he inherit the favor and support of Mr. Bryan? As a matter of Interest the list of entries might be cited here. v It now includes, up to latest accounts, Gov ernor Wood row Wilson; Governor Har mon, Speaker Champ Clark, former Governor Folk, Governor Marshall, Governor Dix, Senator-elect Hoke Smith and last, but fiot least. Demo cratic Leader Underwood of the house. This, of course, takes no account of Mr. Bryan's right to get in the race himself, if he should see fit, nor does it Include other lesser lights. By the process of elimination the list of those who even remotely may be expected to answer all of Mr. Bryan's questions satisfactorily to him Is easily reduced to three men at the outset, probably two Folk and Smith. Champ Clark would be Included as the third, but for recent conduct on bis part, which Indicates a turning away from any test or standards Mr. Bryan might exact, though this is not to mean that the speaker Is not ready for all the help the Nebraskan can give him. ' Harmon, vix ana unaerwooa wno is borne into the race on the Intan gible lift of his controversy with Mr. Bryan may count on being called to stand aside; Hoke Smith has been favorably mentioned by Mr. Bryan, as has also each of the others, but it la scarcely to be supposed that Clark, Wilson, If indeed, Smith, will see fit to follow In the footsteps of Mr. Folk. Mr. Folk, therefore, really looms up big if Mr. Bryan's approval . is necessary. 'Mike" Harrington'! Bombshell. Following up his prelude at the Fre mont convention, "Mike" Harrington has fired the bombshell which he promised to explode under one of the democratic aspirants for state railway commissioner, whom be then, without naming hlm accused of being a dummy of the railroads. The chief force of "Mike's" ammunition is di rected against the late railway com missioner, W. H. Cowgill, now de ceased, and therefore unable to an swer back, whom the present object of wrath, C. E. Herman, is charged with having decoyed into the running for the railroads who afterward ex erted themselves for Cowgtll's elec tion. , Mr. Harman ill doubtless speak for himself, and while the controversy precipitated by Harrington concerns chiefly the democrats, several other questions force themselves out. Why did Harrington not expose and de nounce Cowgill as a railroad tool while he was running as the demo cratic nominee three years ago? Inas much as Governor Sballenberger and Mr. Cowgill were elected on the same ticket, and by the same rotes, and the only democrats elected, why does not Harrington similarly denounce Sbal lenberger as a favorite of the rail roads, and what reason he has to be lieve that la filling the vacancy cr sted by CowgtU's death Governor Shal lenberger as co-beneflclary of the rati roads did not appoint a man Just as satisfactory to the railroads as Cow- gill was supposed to be? Mr. Harrington reminds us of an old adage, "He rolls . his list in his pocket," which the Gernians use to describe a man who fumes and frets, but never strikes where the blow may be effective. Cuban Bevolt a False Alarm. A prominent New York business man, who returns from Cuba after a visit of two months, discounts the im portance of the recent uprising and all talk of malcontent among the people. In a special dispatch he Is quoted as saying: Cuba is fixed on a flim political founda tion, President Gomes Is a popular execu tive and the "insurrection" of General Oulllermo Aceveda a few days ago was of no mora Importance than a fair-sized street brawl, and was started by a dissatisfied bushwhacker. This report of the situation Is not Inconsistent with the first impression that must come to one who has kept up with the progress in Cuba since American occupation. Of course, in a country like that periodical displays of this sort by disgruntled or disap pointed self-seeking persons are to be looked for, but the saner, repressive Influences have been at work in Cuba too long not to have got in some pretty good licks. Also tslk of "Amer ican Intervention" would seem to be groundless In view of the primary fact that there is nothing to intervene for, and secondarily, that Cuba la busily engaged In civil pursuits, such as in creasing modern improvements on the island. The New York man points out that sanitation Is one thing about which Uncle Sam has been very anxious in Cuba and that how much chance there is for this government ta Inter vene on that score may be seen in the fact that Just now Cuba is Invest ing $16,000,000 in sewer and paving Improvements, 60 per cent of which is completed. The military and civic af fairs are said to be In correspondingly good conditions. President Gomes has the confidence of the people and is doing a great work In carrying on the movement of substantial reform. Con fidence in a country like Cuba is the most valuable asset a chief executive can possess, i ne oasis 01 peace ana progress was securely laid by the Americans in Cuba and Cubans read ily see the advantages of peace and progress over revolution and retrogres sion. Since they do, they are not likely to choose amiss. Amazing:? Why, Certainly. W. J. Bryan's attack on Mr. Underwood Is not giving the leader of the house any concern. Frlenda or Mr. unaerwooa ae- olare that Mr. Bryan's explanation Is not satisfactory. Thay not only express amass ment that Bryan should make newspaper reports the basis of these extremely serious charges against tha leader of the house. but also make mention of tha faot that ha drew conclusions from these reports whloh were not Justlfiod. World-Herald. It is certainly "amasing" that Mr. Bryan should make newspaper reports the basis of extremely serious charges against the leader of the house, but more particularly "amasing" when those newspaper reports happen to be' reports in the World-Herald, which newspaper be has repeatedly branded and denounced for deliberately mis representing the facts. The only ex cuse Mr. Bryan has that we can think of is that, seeing the report labelled as a special Washington lapatch and presumably personally Inspired or cen sored by Senator Hitchcock himself, he might foolishly have thought it worth more credence than the home-manufactured articles in that paper. Still an other "amasing" thing about It is that, having printed the misleading report used by Mr. Bryan as the basis of his attack on Mr. Underwood, the World Herald should denounce Mr, Bryan for relying on Us own fake dispatch. An Inquiry to the attorney general's office develops the fact that the much vaunted' reform enacted by the late democratic legislature making it un lawful to convey voters to the polls applies only to candidates for office and political committees, and not to private volunteers. The bill was fathered by a democratic state sena tor and put through as part of the democratic program, but evidently lost Its teeth in transit. ' Although Moore & Schley did not know they were falling, old Doctor Morgan did and in the dead of night slipped on his perjarqmas, took chances on his own safety and went out and got the Tennessee Coal and Iron . plaster, effecting a complete restoration and doing it with such secret phllauthropby as even to con ceal the fact from the patient. Of course, It Is only Incidental that the Judge who refused to Impose prison sentences on the trust barons In New York has the same name as the first vice president of the Standard Oil company. Of course, it was no ice combine that raised the price In Omaha 25 per rent above that charged in other neighboring cities. It is to be noted, though, that not one of them is cut ting prices.

Accordtnly Mr. ttryan and Mr. t'mlerwccnl may be : said to be each partly right, but the popular advantage for the ?reent at least, la with the congressman, because the party In congress lisa won the ccin- mendatlon of the nation for Its progres sive policies, and that success has been achieved under the floor leadership of Mr. Underwood. Boston Transcript: Chairman Under wood's denunciation of Hrvan Is being applauded today not only In the house but also throughout tho country. Mr. Hrjan is finally down and out. Pittsburg Dispatch: Hut they Ithe democrats In congress) seem to overlopk the possibility that Mr. Uryan may also be making campaign material and that the plana of the erstwhile "safe and sane" element who ditched Bryan In 1904 contemplate a campaign next year on the familiar tariff Issue, sidetracking all Mr. Bryan's issues and returning to the pro-Bryan platforms. If Mr. Bryan can meantime puncture these tariff revision pretensions he will reserve space and prominence for his own particular nos trums that otherwise stand In peril of being crowded into obscurity. His tariff views are only a detail, but the tariff record of the democrats In the house Is their sola hope of lmprsslag the country with their worthiness. New York Tribune: Mc. Underwood s display of hardihood may have import ant consequences. It Is likely to break the spell of terror under which most demooratlo politician hav lived by showing that It is possible to defy the overlord of Wnooln end yet survive. St. Louis Times: There are still, no doubt, a good many democrats who continue to be "for Bryan." Nothing could be simpler. They have voted for-the peerless one until they have the habit, and they wish to prac tice the mistaken policy of throwing good votes after bad votes. Nevertheless, there are signs and portents which Indloat that the dawn Is breaking at last, and that the democrats mean to tell Mr. Bryan that he has been mistaken all these years, and that they do not want him. Mr. Underwood's announcement Is likely to take the place of a species of democratic slogan. Washington Star; It is quite likely that one or two names will be dropped from W. J. Bryan' list before the summer of 1911 Washington Post: Mr. Bryan's eharge, however, was not merely . unfair and un founded: It was silly. Atlas himself could not have carried the whole of congress on hi back, and certainly Mr. Underwood could not do so. The manner in which the majority leader's statement was reoelved hy the house Indicated plainly an over whelming repudiation of tha attempt of Mr. Bryan to besmirch the political and per sonal Integrity of a man who Is looming larga In the leadership of his party, It in dicates, too, that Mr. Bryan's own party will force the fight on him and that the complete loss of his once great Influence Is not far away. . Chicago News: Mr. Bryan can tell the democratic party what to do, but his advice is shy one enacting clause. Chicago Inter Ocean: For months Mr, Bryan has been filling his Commoner with scandalous accusation against other demo crat. He has continually suggested that every demoorat in congress whe disagreed with him must be a "crook" and "bought." Hi very mildest term of reproach he been "Impostor" er "Aldrlch democrat" It was high time that the southern democracy, for years Mr. Bryan's sole asset In politic, should resent thee slanders. Mr. Under wood has don so, and all fair men will welcome his declaration of independence. St. Paul Pioneer Prtat: Tha aecret of Bryan' opposition to Underwood is doubt, less found In his resentment of the leader ship of any but himself. He aought to de feat the Underwood plan for revision Of the wool schedule, but the democratic cauous rejected hla auggeatlon and supported the house leader by an almost unanimous vote. Since that time he has lost no opportunity to harass the Underwood leadership, put It appear that he made a serious error in basing hla latest charges on a gross ml representation of the established record, a record that must hav been known by him, a It was thoroughly understood by all of his friend in congress. Btoux City Journal: William Jennings Bryan, though vaunting himself a a demo crat. Is an autocrat temperamentally and by conflrmsd habit an autocrat. His fol lowing is a formidable host more formld hie latterly, perhaps, for th purposes of lections than of party convention but formidable still, being in Innumerable quar ters tha balance of power. It Is indubitably ntlt I v and ubmllve to Mr. Bryan' autocratic word, no matter how doctrinaire, narrow or prejudicial his point of view or what hi motive. This la what th dem ocratic party la today unsafely up against, and it la tha ona thing It had fondly hoped somehow to get safely around. Watchluw the Old Doe.
