Elevator In Court House.

"I notice in the report of the grand jury, just adjourned, that they recom- mended larger quarters for the grand jury" said member of the local bar, which may be reached by ladies and children without having to climb to the top floor of the court house. This calls to mind a con- d:tlon I could never understand and that Is why Jefferson county court house has never been equipped with elevators especially as in the construction and plan of the building provision was made for them. I noticed a few days ago an old man toiing painfully up the stairway He was a cripple and by the time he reached the top floor he was complete ly exhausted. I venture to say there Is not a state or county building in the United States of equal size and import- ance as Jefferson county court house without these necessary equipments. It seems to me the Board of Revenue might spend some of the surplus money in the treasury for this much needed public con- Venience."

 It is eminently proper to send Hon. John W. Tomlinson as delegate-at-large to Denver. That convention Is sure to nominate MT. Bryan, and MT. Tomlinson is a close friend of the Nebraskan. No more appropriate selection for delegate could be made and the people of this vicinity will be glsd to see MT. Tomlinson phoSaO

Underwood's Popularity.

'I am glad to see that my friend Oscar Underwood is likely to have opposition for Congress- said Attorney H. K. w hite. flor it will afford an opportunity for his friends to show how much they think of him, and that their name Is legion "If Underwood Is as popular with his constituents at home as he is with his colleagues in Congress, there is not a man in the Ninth district who can beat him. I have thrice been in Washin gton a week at a time In the last six years, and having three old college mates of the University of Texas, Bureson, Bur gess and Henry, who are Congressman from Texas, I have had opportunity to learn of Underwoods standing. He is admitted by congressman of both parties to be one of the most popular, respected and efficient members of the House. The republicans know he is honest and fear less, and the democrats that he is loyal and industrious. And he is always the unassuming, courteous gentleman to everybody. He could not be otherwise, for he comes from a race of gentle men born and bred in old Kentucky He was graduated in literature and law at the University of Virginia, which in itself goes far to form the character and man. ner of a gentleman He then practiced law successfully for nearly ten years, as a member of the firm of Garrett & Un- derwood in Birmingham. Ten years of active practice at a bar like this is an admirable training for a working con gressman, for success at this bar is de- 1apdapt op office UorlS and studV ra her than court house speaking
 Then in 1893 Underwood was elected to Congress, and for 14 years has been one of the most effective workers in com mittee-where the real work of Con- gress is done-helpng to carry out the great policies of the democratic party, ra ther than advertise himself by spectac- ular speeches on the floor. Playing to the galleries from the floor is just as inef- feetive to acquire influence with, national representatives as playing to the galleries from the bar or bench Is ineffective to influence lawyers.
 After all 1t is a congressmans inf1u- ence with other congressman which ma kes him a valuable representative. Under wood has this in large measure, and it is probable, as The Age-Herald editorial ly points out, that in the next Congress he will be chairman of the ways and means committee. In that event he will be power for good to Alabama, and the Birmingham district in particular. I be- lieve his friends will sustain him so vigorously that 1t will be unnecessary for him to come home to contend for renomination against Judge Weaver or anyone else in the May primary"
