Enfaula, July 4.-lSpeciaL L)-Although defeated for the race for the short term for Congress from the Third Alabama dis trict the friends of J. J. Speight of Eufaula, the young asprant of conges- sional honors, says he will be heard from again. They believe that he made a race that was no less than remarkable in Mondays election, when he only lacked 300-odd votes of having a majority over w. O. Mullxey of Geneva.

 q answer again-the adequately trained citizen. He is the hope of the future. It Is his to apply correct think ing and patriotic acting to the solution of new and perplexing problems. It is his to preserve the republic.
 The Public School
 "To what source shall we look for this training in citizenship? It is to the school. the public school we must look. The product of the public school is to be the defender of principle and the protector of liberty in the years to come. The free public school is a greater defense to American institu tions than arms and fleets and troops. knowledge is power, and an educated conscience is It's only safe guide
 "The children of America must be taught to obey the golden rule. The meaning of the command. thou shalt not must be so impressed that 1t will never be forgotten or disregarded.
 Along with mental and physical de- velopment must go moral culture. Thou shalt not lie; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not kill,' and all the other thou shalt nots' must be inculcated so sys- tematically. so persistently, so effect ively that a proper regard for the rights of others will become a fixed principle in the life of every man and woman.
 Through the processes of educa- tion only can a people be advanced in civilization and prepared for the high est forms of self f-government. Only through the development of mind and heart can the masses be made to real ize that violation of law degrades all who participate or condone; that crime Is not preventive but producer or crime: that lawlessness begets, great CT lawlessness; that hatred and revenge |breed hatred and revenge.
 ITO the end that the public school may be most effective, every child should be required by law to attend an adequate length of time in every Iyear If 1t Is the duty of the state to provide schools. equally is 1t the states duty to require its children to attend them.
 "Shall the state sacrifice the citizen and endanger It's own stability and ef- ficiency by permitting children, through the neglect of cupidity of un- natural parents. or through the avarice and inhumanity of grasping corpora tions to grow into manhood and wom, anhood dwarfed in body. mind and soul? Such . policy is nothing less than social and governmental suicide. "As a means thcn of raising the standard of American citizenship would urge for everybody education of the right kind-education of body, mind and conscience, with special em- phasis upon the last mentioned. ITO that end would have individuals and states to exort themselves to the utmost. To that end. also. would have tho nation to perform It's lonu neglected duty.

NAT WILLS HEADS
 BIG LYRIC BILL
Famous Tramp Comedian Will Return to Birmingham After Years
 of Absence

In the middle of the vaudeville season, when the greatest acts are all available, the Lyric did not offer any bills that would surpass the one to be seen at the popular and cool playhouse this week. Nat Wills, the happy tramp. is one head liner; the Eight Forget-Me-Not English dancers, is the extra added attraction; Jesse l.. Lasky's clever playlet, "Elop- ing" with Derrick, Hart & Co.,, is a third headline feature, and Gus Edwards "Newsboy Sextette and Grille" makes 8 fourth feature. In three of the acts there are 19 people. The remainder of the bill seems obe equally as meritorious.
 Nat Wills is the premiere tramp of the world, too well known to threatregoers to need an introduction. He brings all rev parodies. all new songs, all new jokes with him this season, and his win ming smile and clever makeup with the Wills personality and magnetism are all that Is not new. He has just closed a season with Ziegfelds Follies, and a four weeks trip with the Lambs Gambol, of which he was the stellar attraction.
 Gus Edwards big song revue closed for the season recently, and the seven cleverest members were put into a news boy sextette and girlie, featuring dainty Nita Johnson, the miniature prima donna. and Little Brownie, ''the boy Caruso." " One of the snappiest juvenile acts of the season is promised and each or the seven performers presents a speciality that Is enjoyable Every vaudeville patron fiiows what Gus Edwards acts are. and this is the cream of the flock.
 It Is rare that a Laskey act and an Ed wards act are on the same bill, but this week is the exception. Berrick and Hart are two of the cleverest people under the Laskey management, which has already sent to the Lyric such acts as 'The Trained Nurses" "The Rest Cure and the 'Redheads." However, this Is of Q different nature, although the performers are as clever as any of the season. There are four people in the act. two of them appea ring as the horse"
 A double quartette of English lassies each proficient enough to be a solo dancer. and each pretty enough to attract attention, composes the Flight Forget. Me-Nots," forming a ballet of particular excellence. The theatregoer tired of the tango and Maxixe will find this act very clever and restful. Many sorts of dancer are presented. both solo and ballet.
