STRONG ELEMENTS IN MR.. "
 UNDERWOOD'S CHARACTER

the inherent strength of the man. The thunder of popular applause reaches his ears from Michigan to Florida and from Maine to the Golden Gate. yet he moves in the midst of it all in calm, equable way, unsteadied by nothing.
 To say that he is one of the most re- markable men of the time would be plat itudinous and commonplace. Yet not the sightest effort is visible on his part to bring himself more into the public eye. Rather. on the other hand, he is un- usually quiet and undemonstratve. A .sn of lesser wisdom would be on the scent for busy interviewers in order to exploit some chosen opinion, or would court such occasions as would conduce to fiaring his fame before the public. He poses in no way to evoke the plapdits of the populace and seems to vhun pub licity. To dtsport ones self is among the cheap tricks of the charlatan and mountebank in public life. The utter absence of any of this tawdry, so of fensive to the thoughtful, in the case of MT. Underwood goes far to fix his fame. It is almost vulgar to say so, but all this is due to his extraordinary common sense.
 It is not to be wondered at that one

COWART STATEMENT

In reference to the reports which have been frequently published in certain quarters that certain" and "promi- nent" state official had received a check for $175 from a dealer in liquor," Lee Cowart, immigration commissioner, re- quested The Age-Herald yesterday aft ernoon to publish the following:
 .'The check for $175 pertained to a private business transaction between MT. Marx and myself. When I re- ceived the check I did not know that MT. Marx was an applicant for a sa- loon license. The question of liquor license was never mentioned by either of us to the other.
 "I learned afterwards that when MT. Marx gave me the check he was al- ready in possession of a liquor license.

with forces like these and vielded as ne wields them, is honored by his coun- trymen throughout this broad land of states, and that MT. Underwood is deemed worthy to sit in the seat of the Presi- dent It is to the credit of the country, as well as to his own ,and betokens better things in our national life, when a calm. quiet. unpretentious man like this, in cool disdain of the spectacular, is hailed as a leader while he moves with serene step and unaffected boise.
 It Is only fair to MT. Underwood to say that the present writer knows him by personal contact only slightly, our meeting being a purely incidental one; nor have all the views held by MT. Un- derwood been always acquiesced in by the writer This estimate of the man and statesman is not due, therefore, to any claims of personal friendship or d. rect personal interest, but from a sincere desire to accord to a distinguished cit izen the merits of his just deserts. That there is a sense of local pride is not denied, but this would nat of itself be sufficient to elicit this humble article.

sweeping demand amounting to almost craze for remedial railroad legislation, and this demand in most instances has been met by reforms in rates, and the peo- pie are enjoying the fruits of well earned victory, and in spite of the fact that business conditions generally in the United States seem to be below normal the railroads to all appearances are en- toying prosperity, and receiverships are scattering where they used to tbe numer- ous This is accounted for by the fact that most of the railroads are submit- ting to the inevitable and are wringing the water out of their securities and are contenting themselves with reasonable returns on the actual money invested.
 In the past four or five years great progress has been made in putting freight and passenger traffic on an equitable basis, and the public and the railroads are enjoying a more cordial relationship as a result This is particularly true in the east, middle west and south.
 But what about the parcels post and the express companies? What hold have the express companies on the powers that be, that they have so successfully evaded popular demand for a parcels post And at the same time have maintained their eXorbltant and unreasonable charges. Who ever heard of an express company having a receiver? Of course, the eact that no express company ever failed Is not conclusive evidence that tbeir business is not legitimate, or all that it should be, but 1t is very strong evidence that the business is remarkably remunerative, and that the owners enjoy more or less of a monopoly.
 The Big Companies
 There are many big express companies in this country, the American, the Wells
