Fine Lecture

The lecture given by Prof. Ros-
coe G. Stott last Friday evening
was a very fine piece of oratory
and a large crowd was in atten-
dance. His subject was ''The
birds | would like to. shoot and
others" and he illustrated them
in human beings whose charac-
teristics were like the dove, so
much so that they were good for
nothing, and then the next was
the parrot who simply initiates
others in their thoughts and
works, and the next was the vul-
ture which he compared to the
gossiper who talks too much
about others; then the good birds
were the robins who bring the
Spring-time and who have a hap
py and helpful dispositions, and
the last was the lark who resem-
bles the highest type of happi-
ness and good time.
Prof. Stott's lecture was well
received, and he was very happy
in his delivery of the same.

NOTICE

AS some of our annual sub
scriptions have expired and will
be expiring from this on, it is
fitting that we announce our pol
icy with reference to renewals.
Ne always send two compli-
mentary papers to a subscriber
after the time is out, and this
will enable everyone to renew
without interruption if they de-
sire to do so. If not renewed,
the paper will be stopped. So
far we have been much gratifed
with the many renewals made,
and with the very kind words of
appreciation from our readers.
We do not wish to occupy the
attitude of apparently forcing
our paper on anyone, nor do we
wish to put those who have so
kindly favored us with their sub
scription in a position wherein
they will either be compelled to
accept the paper or order it
stopped. Therefore, unless re-
newed, we will stop it.
The Madisonian will continue
its well announced policies and
will stand for everything that
goes towards making better
homes, better government and
that will bring about lower taxa
ton.
Call or telephone your renewals
and receive a handsome picture
printed in sepia of the new Chris
tian church, the old church, the

patronage and will duly appreci-

FINE SERMONS
Along Practical Lines Being
Delivered By DIR.
Barnes
AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The sermons being delivered
by Dir. Barnes at the Christian
church on Sunday evenings along
practical lines, are attracting
quite a great deal of attention.
His sermon last Sunday night on
the Menace of the Streets" was
listened to with rapt attention by
an appreciative audience. The
subject was intensely interesting
and the able manner in which
it was handled by DR.. Barnes
has left a profound impress
sion on the minds of his hearers.
He hit the movies in the solar
plexus, with thirteen inch balls
and some of their devotees, with
grape and canistry.
The street urchin is more to be
pitied than censured. This is
especially true in the larger cit
les. Even in a place the size of
Richmond it is true. Children
are imitators and they readily ab-
sorb the rufianism of the streets.
They have no suitable play
grounds and their associations
from beginning to end are such
as tend to degrade rather than
to uplift them.
Some months ago the Madi-
sOnian wrote a series of editor
ials dealing with similar ques-
tons and we have nothing to add
to the same.
DIR. Barnes subject for next
Sunday night will be Marriage
dndi Misery" Rather a queer
mixture and doubtless he will be
greeted with a large audience. We
have been taught that marriage
is the supreme happiness and
crowning glory of man and wo-
man and we will listen to DR..
Barnes and see why he associates
so intimately the two words
marriage and misery"

PUT ON THE GRILL
Sam and Percy Must Face
the Music in the Legisla-

There has been introduced in
the House joint resolution call
ing for committee to investi-
gate Sam Shackelford and Per-
cy Haly, who are cla ssed
as notorious lobbyists. The res
olution reads in part as follows:
Whereas, Percy Haly and
Sam Shackelford are motor
iuos lobbyists and for years have
carried on the business of lobby
ing and for many years have had
no gainful occupation other than
influencing legislation; and
Whereas, in order to main
tain a market for their services
as legislative agents it is neces-
sary for them to organize the
General Assembly, that is to say,
to provide it with such officers
or employees as are elected or ap-
pointed by it. and also for them
to exercise some influence in the
appointment of its standing or
special committees or to pretend
to have such power and influence,
