The open letter of Speaker Hanley to
D. r. Streeter, a member of the ]owel
house of the legislature, who roasted the
speaker, is a masterful presentation Of
the law, the %precedents and the facts as
they really happened during the Cowan
debate in the house. Anyone reading
the two statements cannot help but sus'
tain the speaker and be convinced thai
the man from Emmons allowed prejudice
in favor of the accused judge to rnn
away with his good judgment and dis.
tort his PERCEPTION of the real situation.
In view of the provocation given by thu
Emmons county man in his published
statement we must compliment Speaker
Hanley in the polite and parliamentary
way in which he called Mr.. Streeter a
liar.

In the art supplement of the New YorK Herald, page conducted by Gustav Kobbe, there was handsome reproduc- tion this week of a portrait by Miss Louise l.. Heustis of Mobile. Miss Heus- tis is a sister of Mrs. George Huntinging Clarke of this city, and her paintings are familiar to art lovers in Birmingham through the examples of her work which have been shown in the annual exhibition of the local art association. Portraits of the Clarke children attracted admiring comment at one exhibition and the study of a typical black "mammy' was another which was treated with exceptional charm. Miss Heustis has friends through out the state who are always glad to know of her success in New York. In his comment on recent portraiture, MT. Kobbe says:
 Among the charming portraits recently painted here is that of Mrs. Oren Root. It is the work of Miss Louise l.. Heustis. The artist comes from Mobile, studied first in New York at the Art Students league with MT. William M. Chase, and later at the Julian academy, Paris, with Mons. Charles Lasar.'&
