OPINION OF ROOSEVELT
Ben DeLemos Thinks Ex-President
 Will Soon See His Mistake

Ben DeLemos of Montgomery. editor of the Alabama Outlook, one of the lead ing republican papers, is here for the re- publican convention today. He paid his respects to Roosevelt last night in these words:
 ''The announcement of Theodore Roose- welt that he will accept the nomination for President if rendered him is the most pathetic event in American latter day politics. Here is a citizen favored and honored by the people like no other in the land, whose political career has brought him the highest office at the nations dis posal, who was permitted to dictate his successor, who in his private capacity has been regarded as a national mentor; here is this citizen eager for @ third ele- vation to the executive chair, eager for 1t in defiance of the time honored custom which he has unqualifiedly approved, eager for it though he must oppose his friend and chosen successor, eager for it though he cannot advance a single cogent reason why this successor on the ground of principle and accomplishment is not entitled to succeed himself Before the convention assembled MT. Roosevelt will see the error of his way and with draw from the race"

STATE SEEKS ID
 GET SCHOOL LANDS
Court Proceedings Begin This Week to Recover
 5000 Acres in Mobile

Montgomery, March 6-tSpeoal) )-Court proceedings will be begun this week for the recovery of about 25,0oD acres of school lands in Mobile county. This is the state- ment of W. J. Martin, state land agent, who has been instructed by Governor O'Nea to take immediate steps looking to the recovery of all school lands in Alabama unlawfully held. Mr. Martin has been in consultation with Assistant Attorney General T. Howard Seay, through whom suits will be filed for the recovery of these lands, and 1t is ex- pected that the efforts of the attorney generals department, together with the assistance of the state land agent, will result in restoring to the state some thing 1ike 25OoO0 acres of these lands, which are distributed all over Alabama.
 The states claim 10 these lands is con. temporary with it's admission into the union, in 1Sl9, at which time the govern ment set aside the sixteenth section in every township to be held in trust for the benefit of whatever school systems that might be established.
 MT. Martin thinks that there are about <oo,VVV dcfeS ol tHese sciooi iahus peio"S- ing to the state, valued at between s2500,- 0OJ and $3,000000.
 He declares that not only will the state sue to recover these lands, but that it will also enter suit to recover damages resulting from the cutting of timber off these lands He believes that this feature alone will net the state pretty large profit, as a large amount of the school lands originally contained some very val uable timber.
 The state land agent is determined to make q strenuous fight for the recovery of all these lands originally donated to the state by the goverpment to be held in trust for school purposes. as he believes that the reclamation of these lands will go far towards building up the educa- tional system of the state. and putting it on a firmer financial basis.

 Oscar Underwood
 Not long since at Q banquet in Chi cago many of those present listened to words of wisdom, sanity and conser- vatism, yet true progressiveness, from the lips of Birmingham's able repre- sentative in Congress, that incompar- able chairman of the ways and means committee, Oscar w. Underwood, the striking feature of whose success in ihe language of Lee Bidgood. has been his ability to control the House dem ocracy as no man has controlled it for half century and that without either despotism or open friction; his steady prosecution of a well rounded and con sistently developed plan of legislation his proposal of tariff cuts deep enough to be strikingly convincing to the pub lie and yet leaving so much protec- tion that no protection fed industries could be harmed by them: and his re- fusal to surrender to outside leader- ship or submit to ungrounded con demnation at the hands of the former chief of his party. To the economist and student of American tarfff history the most commendable features of the chairman's policy are his firmness in resisting and overcoming the heaviest kind of pressure that has ever been brought to bear on any representative to make him work for protection in local industries. his caution with regard to the revenue of the country, his at tempts in the past so as to be equitable in effect upon all industrial classes of the nation.
 ITO such a leader Birmingham be- lieves the destinies of our republic ma Y be safely and deservedly committed and we will present his name to the dem ocratic convention at Baltimore as a candidate who will win because the whole nation knows that he will indeed be a courageous, wise and impartial President of all the country
 MT. and Mrs. Sibley are expected to return home the latter part of this week.
