Sheehan, associate editor of the Montgomery Advertiser: delivered a lecture before the Univer- sity of Alabama summer school for teachers. this morning on "Aiabama's Pioneer Period" It was an unusual ad- dress, revealing the mental forces at work in Alabama In the early part of the nineteenth century in their re- lation to conditions in the state to- day. While patriotism and loyalty 10 Alabama and reverence for her heroic pioneers were evident In every sentence Captain Sheehan disregarded conven- tionanties enough to point to lost op- portunities and to deplore an over- emphasis of partisan politics at the sac rifice of education.
 Captain Sheehan was happily intro duced to the teachers as a former sohoolteacher of Alabama In his re- sponse the teacher journalist acknowl- edged his debt of gratitude to the pub lie school system of Ala abama, which encouraged his early ambitions.

Hard to Get Leader

The backwardness of Joseph O. Thomp- son in accepting the nomination for gov ernor on the republican ticket is an evil dence, it is held here, of the fact that no active campaign is anticipated. MT. Thompson, who is hero with his party, is not well man by any means. and, in addition, he is greatly burdened in busi- ness way, having large interests that must be looked after. If it were possible to elect republican in the state 1t is good guess that the people would be as ready to accept MT. Thompson as any man they have or would be likely to produce. He is a safe business man and has long main tained standing as a leading and valuable citizen.

Auto speeder. Watched

Auto speeders in Montgomery county are arousing the anger of many who have to use the roads and have no machines. The fact is, some of the car owners are becoming aroused, knowing that if there is not a change the legislature will be likely to pass laws that will make 1t im- possible to enjoy a machine at all. With the splendid road system now owned and maintained in Montgomery, the tempta- ton to scorch is almost irresistible. As a result the negro drivers are often seen splitting the wind at 50 to 60 miles an hour, to the danger of life and limb of any who may be on the road either on foot or in bugg1es.
