Let Experience Count

The Groton Times and the Ben

matter OF eligibility to the legislature
OF prospective candidates. They
agree that former experience should
count in the selection OF candidates
This is just as true In sense OF the
legislative officials as II Is OF the IN
Vulnerable officials under the civil
service. The theory OF civil service
reform measures was based upon the
idea that those who had been tried
and not found wanting should be re
talned In office for the common good,
The reason why the civil service
reform doctrine cannot be applied In
all its rigor to legislative candidates
is sufficiently obvious, but within linn
its. there is no earthly reason why
J the principle should not be applied

Why Not Give 1t Back

Italy evidently intends to get
what she wants before the powers In
tervene or mediate. Perhaps she
learned her lesson by watching that
American process Of taking Panama"
New York World.
Why don't some Of you fellows
that never lose an opportunity to
poke Roosevelt about the way In
which the Panama canal strip was
gained start popular move to give
it back? II you are right and II Mr..
Roosevelt was wrong, then the land
should be given back or else the ma
jority sentiment In the whole coun
try Is wrong, and we are, as nation
robbers.
Here is a paragraph from The Low
ell Courier Citizen on the subject
that Is close to the point:
What lot of silly talk there is
over the question of whether or not
Mr.. Roosevelt as president exceeded
his authority in taking hand in the
affairs OF Panama. Every American
with drop Of honest blood in hin
Is frank to admit that the ends justi
fed the means, and that under ne
circumstances would he have tho
work of the Roosevelt administration
undone This being the case, even
the blindness OF craftsmanship doe
not excuse the wanton argument tina
Is to be found in the columns OF Ger
tain newspapers and magazines. W.

And while other plans are going for ward the churches are settling the question of music in the choirs for winter services. Considering the per-

and director. She is one of the best known musicians of Birmingham and her connection with the Southside Baptist church has continued for a number of years. Mrs. Dayids' plans for the win ter are most attractive. An occasional twilight organ recital-given perhaps monthly-for an hour before services will | lend variety and cantata will in all probability be sung at some time during the season. The beautiful new church, which is one of the most tallied-of build inss in .he city, is a fitting place for music such as this choir will furnish. The opening will occur October 8, when an especially beautiful programme will be presented.
 | The advent of new voices in Birming- | ham reminds one of Frederic Gunster, the tenor, who comes the last of the month to make it his home. MT. Gunster has not consented to sing in any choir, | but it is hoped that he may be persuaded i to accept a permanent offer or at least that the public may have an opportunity to hear him often.
 Temple Emanuel will again have Mrs. William Gussen in charge of its music, a circumstance which insures l splendid results She is one of the most cultivated musicians in Alabama and through a number of recitals last year in Georgia and Tennessee, is recognized elsewhere as well. The most important music of the year at the temple will be sung the last of this month and the first of next, during g tlte holiday period On the eve of the 22nd the first service will be given, l followed with an elaborate one the next morning The Day of Atonement falls | 10 days later and five days afterward another service will be held. Each will be interspersed with music appropriate l to the worship. For the holiday serv- l ice the quartet will be augmented by additional voices. Miss Myra Olive and Miss Seibert are to be the sopranos; Miss Margaret Schwartz and Mrs. New field are the contraltos; MT. O'Hare, MT Geis and MT. Thomas are tenors, and MT. Wyatt Heflin and MT. Martin are bassos. Several of the singers are also with Mrs. Gussen at St. Marys on the Highlands, where the vested choir in- cludes a number of lovely voices and assist Mrs. Gussen in producing fine | programme at every service. Soloists are Miss Myra Olive Miss Marguerite Schwartz. MT. James O.Hare and MT Wyatt Heflin. The additional singers are Miss Corinne Seibert.
