WESTON, GRAND OLD MAN.
His Clear Grit an Example to Men No
 Longer Younk.

His Clear Grit an Example to Men No
 Longer Younk.
 Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 It Is impossible to contemplate Wes- ton and his achievements without sat isfaction. Here Is @ man, n years old. who in 100 days has walked about 4,000 miles, an average of forty miles a day. What Weston has done should give hope to every one. If one man Is young and strong at three-score and ten, why not the rest of us? If not as walker, yet in other ways may q man be as good as ever after he has passed the scriptural limit of years. Walking is Weston's profession. to be sure, but confidence and a refusal 10 acknowledge the mastery of relentless Father Time have made possible his accomplishments. Senator Aldrich Is verging on TO, yet he struggled through the fearful Washington heat and dom ineered the American Senate without giving a sign of physical or mental fa- tigue. Statecraft Is Aldrich's business. as walking Is WestoD's. put it Is the unconquerable spirit of perseverance, and self-confdence that counts even more than the practice that tends to make perfect.
 Weston is a grand old man of Amer lea. He deserves well for the example he has set. for his service in showing the American youth the value of grit and for indicating to this same Ameri- can youth that efficacy does not disap. pear with the coming of gray hairs.

Need . Resf.

 Nashville American.
 The Hartselle Epterpriso, in com menting upon the ektra session ot the Alabama Legislature. gives vent to these terse sentences:
 Alabama needs rest. A rest from the agitation that has throttled pro, gress TOT the past two years. A rest from the unholy effects of the profes- fects of legislation directed by men ot only one idea, and who are willing to see the State suffer only that they ma, be successful in their efforts. A change Is needed and a rational change at that, Until it comes. the State. will be in q constant turmoil and her citixens will be in 8 state of unrest"
 This Is a logical statement of con- ditfons in our sister State; tt is also, Tn word and spirit applicable to other gia and Tennessee need rect from poiiti- gal strife. Quarreliing families rarely
 Alabama has suffered loss of pres tige through the recent acts of her Legislature. Millions of dollars of cap- a Ssvs eSssss eSs asy lower railway rates may havs been made. and, infinitesimally, q lew ship. pers may have prohted. But the few ISssS ioasss dSs s'sa to raaieai isslslssion @ Tss present extra session could have been avoided. So far as practical results srs concerned. 1t was not needed, In due course the Legislature swould have met in regular session. There was not . single subject in the Governors call that could not have been held up until the regular session.
 The ambitions of the politicians, how. ever. must be satisfied. Their selfish schemes could not wait. No matter if the State were crying for rest, II must not be granted. Instead of 6 time of peace and quiet, when material pro- gress could be made, the politicians Force an extra session, to the disturb ance of the people.
 Our States need rest. They need time to get their bearings. Tneir ma terfal interests are paramount to the ambitions of the office-seeking politi- clans. They are surfeited with laws, good, bad and indifferent, and do not fequi-e ndditiors- 0 tho already oyer loaded statute books.
 If the Legislatures of Tennessee. Ala. bama and Georgia did not assemble again within ten years we are of the opinion each State would be better on,

night on which the mass meeting was held at Clio, The Advertiser was call ed up late at night over the long distance phone. It was proposed from Clio to give not only an account of the meeting but statement from Mir. Jones over the long distance phone. It was further proposed that The Adver- tiser pay the telephone charges.
 At that hour of the night The Ad- vertiser office is the busiest place in Montgomery. Each man had his du- ties to perform; certainly two men could not be spared in the office. one to receive the long message and the other to take 1t down. MT. Jones or the Clio party was requested to write out the statement and send it in by mail. MT. Jones. perhaps, prsferring the role of martyr did not do this. but ran to the Anti-saloon League with the information. It has since develop ed that the meeting was entirely in MT. Jones interest
 The Advertiser cannot hope to hear of and refute all the falsehoods which will be told to it's detriment in this campaign. but we propose to nail this statement while 1t is fresh from the pulpit. Before this incident MT. Coiiey had distinguished himself more for his veal than for his intelligence and dis erection. We had noted some remarks he made from the pulpit at Uniontown. and had let them pass because they were general in their nature, but when he makes charges both specific and false as he did at wetumpka. we intend to refute them as they are made.
 Mir. Colley is minister of the Cos pei. The command, Thou shalt not bear false witness" is as binding as any other in the decalogue. Mir. Colley as minister should understand this.
 Mir. CoIley would with profit read the splendid sermon of Rev. Bruce Doyle. of Marion, printed on this page. on "The Church and State" The reading Of 1t might possibly invest him with fairness and a tolerance which he does not now possess. and in so doing increase the value of his service to the cause in which he Is enlisted

 You remember the old Table of the convention of Those with Troubles of Their Own. How each was permitted to lay down his Package of Trouble and take away the Trouble Package deposited by some one else, If he so chose. And how each, after looking for his own package again and went forth content. This may have been a true fable, but we wonder if among that list there was an Umpire. operat. ing during the Dog Days In Dixie; or the manager of a tail-end team; or a member of the Sutton or Thaw fam- flies; or a thirsty tourist in Alabama ?
