In MT Martins death positive force has been removed from the political life of the State. I say a positive force, for he was a leader who actually led, a man who had the courage of his convictions, and was willing to plant himself upon them. His elevation to the Speakership and his successful ad- ministration of that high and honorable trust bespoke for him still higher hon. ors.
 Mir Martin easily ranked among the first lawyers of the Alabama bar. The State can ill-afford to lose him just now, as indeed she cannot well afford to lose any good man at any time, but as some sort of compensation our peo- pie should find in his life a heritage worthy of inspiration and to be kept in lasting memory. .s-

THE CODE HIS MONUMENT

Whatever else Speaker Martin has accomplished. whatever places of hon. or he has filled, whatever his work has been in other directions his true monument will be the Code of the State of Alabama. AS an attorney I appreciate that code, not only as the best Alabama has ever had, but as one of the very best any State in the Union has ever had. It is more than a code. It Is a digest-it is almost an encyclopedia of law.

GREAT ATTRIRIrIrs

Speaker Martin possessed in a most remarkable degree two of the prin- cipal attributes of a statesman, in- tegrity and ability. His perfect hon. esty and fairness were conceded even by those who happened not to share his views. He has left his impress deep in the public affairs of Alabama. Modest and retiring in demeanor, courteous in debate, sound in judg- ment, firm in his convictions and yet aggressive in maintaining his posi- tion, we shall not soon see his like again.
