Sidewkh Psncilings

< | Foars Df of as M being ans in sesn .oSSs Sont fact yesterday. That is. the city off of the fact in the hoistins of the flag around the cifs Haii HoWsver, the mistaks ,ns a,;s was saved, and the folds of promptly on the half hour after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 Criticism. on the part of certain of. Chief Clerk D. w. Crosland came into his office shortly after three. and found Hinderer hts and Madiean and S The Gdver- tiser representative, all holding tubi- lant converse and commenting on the fact that so fey drunks ,dasI had been 1ari Sad
 Huh" said the Chief Clerk. "thats a good one on the State. Forgot to Capitol. How can people tell its the Fourth anyhow2 First time in @ num- ber of--I1l be dogged if the city hasn't forgotten to do the same thing. Look
 inspector Hinderer looked wise. cogitated for a moment, and answered rIll do my share" and ne looked ,It t1 ''Then it's a so," said MT. Crosland, and the three started for the stairway. The Advertiser representative scootins
 inspector Madigan stopped for a moment on, the first roof to fool with tns Ge Ss sne acted S 1ay ike tss saat | soldier who carried a furled United States flag beneath his arm. and the other two looked on in silent admira- ton.
 When the journey to the top of the dome had been completed and the flag | had taken to the wind, the tnstitutor of the movement made the speech oI | ored custom.
 Credit to the Bar. "The State Bar Association has not in it's effort to lift the standard of legal ethics in Alabama" said well known Montgomery lawyer yesterday.
 "The Association, l know, has zeal fession in Alabama For instance take the recent case in which Shel- | by County lawyer was disbarred TOT writing an insulting letter to Judge was responsible for that indirectly and directly In the first place the law es- tablishing ethics and regulating tne practice of law was prepared by the Bar Association and passed by the Leg | islature at its request.
 "The Executive Committee of the Bar Association heard of the letter sent to Judge Pelham and it set in motion the 1 legal machinery which resuited m ,ne disbarment. The members of the com mittee carried the matter to Solicitor Burr and under his direction the pro | ceedings were brought and the lawyer | was disbarred."
 That Sidewalk you'all had in The | Advertiser" said a baseball enthusiast yesterday, relative to the indifference on the part of Montgomery men to sur rendering their seats to the women, l consider a good one. More attention should be paid to it.
 But there was lone mistake in the article-only one, so far as l have mo- titced. You forgot to say that the wo- should always say thank you much obliged or something to that effect. Now I have been travelling on the cars in Montgomery for quite while, and can truthfully say that woman has never lacked for seat when 1t was in my power to get her one. You would be surprised to hear It, but when I say that woman rarely ever shows her appreciation, l am saying some thing that's absolutely true. They take the seats which have been offer ed them, for the most part, with the air of one receiving naught but what is their rightful due, disregarding the courtesy that the occasion demands.
 "Of course they're entitled to the seats. Our Southern chivalry sees things no other way. If man refuses to give up his seat he is disgrace l to the Southland and does not deserve to live in it. But that's another thing. A woman, no matter whether she has ever seen the man before or not, should invariably pay the courtesy and make the gentleman think that his act of kindness Is appreciated"
