rHAvE a letter from well known
 Washington correspondent, the prod- uction of whose brain all readers Of The Age-Herald have often read, in which he says:
 q read your Ned Brace story for
 last Sunday, and for once I do not
 agree with you. I believe that If Un-
 derwood were to leave the House now,
 that it would be national calamity.
 There is no member of the House that
 could come in five miles of taking his
 place, and his loss would mean the
 dissolution of the party in the House,
 and defeat the purposes of the ad-
 ministration. He would, of course,
 make an ideal Secretary of the Treas
 ury, but it would be at the expense of
 democratic defeat four years from
 now
 
 don't agree with him. Underwood has already done his work in tariff making. He has outlined the plan. He has organ ized his party. It was his work which made the foundation upon which was con structed the recent democratic victory. Why should he be called upon to do over again that which he has already done in adjusting differences in a democratic House majority and drilling the new colts who have been elected by worthy con- stituents as members of the House of Representatives? There are other men, trained under his leadership. who can do this work now. Underwood should te made the adviser-the practical man-in position to say this schedule will produce it's part of the revenue needed to maintain the government; and regardless of free traders or protectionists, or local inter- ests, or what not.
