SENATOR HOAR'S LIFE WAS
 AN EXAMPLE OF HONESTY
BY FRANK V. EVANS.

Senator Hoar as a man. had char aeter free from even a suspicion or vice or dishonor. He came to congress with a moderate estate; and to his honor and good name let mankind know he did not get rich in congress. Senator Pettus.
 Is 1t not a sad reflection upon the pres ent age that honesty and character are accounted distinguishing features among men in high and low places alike?
 It was no less a man than Ben Frank lin. whose utterance sought to impress the young with the idea that honesty Is the best policy. but that honesty which Is based solely upon 7Se value of policy is dishonest honesty There is a higher basis for the building of character and honesty. and that Is a great principle. Be honest because it is right to be-
 There was nothing in the public career of the late Senator Hoar to indicate that his life was not guided by this great principle. He was kindly man, man of deep convictions and of open express sions. He was northern republican of the older school, but as an American he was broad enough and patriotic enough to embrace all sections of this country

"The Peddler."

A crowded house greeted Joe Welch in "The Peddler' at the Bjou theatre last night The play Is decidedly the best of fering that has yet been given at the Biiou this year and contains some pas sages that are really fine The burden of the acting falls upon the shoulders of Mfr Welch, who acquits himself hand somely At times he reminds one very much of David Warfield in ''The Auc- tioneer." He was very effective in those scenes where pathos was the predominant note, and at times his humor came unex- pectedly to the surface. but of course MT. Welch makes no pretense of being War field He is but lately graduated from the vaudeville stage, where he was remark ably successful as delineator of Hebrew character. This is his first year as a star but if he continues as he has begun he has bright future in store. In makeup and in all those little tricks of acting that go to create character on the stage Mr. Welch showed the results of study. He makes an ideal Jew and has the knack of sympathy and feeling so necessary to a successful actor.
 here is just enc criticism of any mo- ment that can be made of MT. Welch in 'I0e PeuuieT. 11c mas uOL yet lOTSOlltn his vaudeville days, and introduces a song which is a relic of his old monologue. While the song is in itself clever, it mars the continuity of his performance and detracts from the effectiveness of his act ing.
 In the last act when the peddler ac- ouires wealth and becomes a baron one Is reminded forcibly of Warfield. It is at this time that the play really bright ems and there is real humor when the baron offers the specialist a cigar and then looks to see if he has one Of course he finds that he is out.
 .sThe Peddler'' Is not a melodrama, al- though at times it verges on the melo- dramatic. It is in fact a play full of pathos and genuine emotion that is at all times refined except when several Eastside characters are introduced, prin- cipally for the delectation of the gallery. It is the story of the prodigal son told over again with a new setting. The men,- bers of the supporting company are quite capable of playing their parts, although most of them have but little to do Welch Is the whole show.

Huntsville, October 3.-(Special. )-The term of circuit court just ended was the longest and most expensive ever held in Madison county, the decision of the su- preme court on the Lusk bill appearing to make the expenditures of the court a dead loss to the county.

Alan Dale Praises "candlda."

Alan Dale is one of the New York crit ics who does not fear to say exactly what he thinks of matters theatrical. More often than not he is in a sarcastic vein, but this is what he says of Candida, D the George Bernard Shaw comedy which will be at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow afternoon and night: ''It was one of the most delectable offers of the season and 1t was not one of those abnormal, far fetched things that one cannot appreciate without long hair. Candida seems like an oasis in the desert"

 of Selma.
COLEMAN GOES TOCULL MAN

Selma October 3.-(Special )-Today the public and private schools of the city opened and the attendance at all was entirely satisfactory. The Presbyterian High school established in Selma and l being held in the old court housebuilding' opened with about fifty pupils and more are expected and those back of the en- 1 terprlse are very much gratified The other schools have an increased enroll ment and a splendid year is anticipated.
 Another Church Building.
 Work has begun on clearing off the lot cornersof Selma and Franklin stgaet on which will be erected ehe few Christian church. The old building and lot corner of Alabama and Green streets Is adver- tlsed f-s sale and will be abandoned as SC il as the new structure Is completed nhe church will be of brick and stone and will cost about $2o00O. It will be the eighth new church to be erected In the past twelve years In which time there have also been erected ir the way of public buildings a court house, city hall, school house and an Eks home There are also many business houses which have been erected.
 Not Unexpected and Approved.
 Thes altercation between Congressman Tom Hefiin and his republican opponent, B. w. Walker was not entirely unex- pected by the Selma friends and admirers of the eloquent statesman from the Fifth and they are inclined to think he pursued the right course in chastising the party who brought the accusations made against him.
 Phares Coleman In culIman.

 The Lusk Bill.
 Although the fourth district Is not af- fected by the supreme court decision in the matter of the Lusk bill, the effect of that decision Is considered with consid- erable interest in Selma.
 The principal point of interest ere is with regard to the democratic nominees for judges and solicitors and how, un- less the governor calls an extra session, it Is to be settled just who Is the nomi- nee of districts affected, and in which two democrats have been named. All in all the legislature is coming in for un- bounded criticism and speculation is rife as to who Is to blame for the hiatus
