Frederick warde Tonight

No attraction in the Lyceum couse gives greater delight than Frederick Warde in a Shakespeare lecture or reading. He will appear at the High school auditorium tonight at S:15 o'clock when he will read one of Shakespeare's plays-prosably either Richard I'll or Ottelio.
 q am glad to know that MT. Warde is financially as well as artistically suc- oessful in his lecture york; said Leopold Lane, the actor. He is an old friend of mine and a more estimable gentleman it was never my privilege to meet.
 "Mr. Warde, like myself, is an English man, but he has lived so long in this country that he is thoroughly American ized. He has been great ornament to the histrionic profession, but he is equally as fine on the lecture platform as upon the stage His lectures and readings are distinctly educative and no lover of Shakespeare should ever miss the oppor- tunity of hearing him"

Barber Making Good
acting.

Tbere will be Sunday moving DIG ture shows in Birmingham.
 It is a wise course which the city commissioners have at last deter mined to pursue.
 Pictures of an elevating character are wholesome, and when shown on Sundays should not prove offensive even to the most puritanical observer of the Sabbath.
 Commissioner Barber, who is given credit for having convinced the other commissioners that proprietors of moving picture shows have as much right to entertain on Sundays as pro- orietors of drug stores to sell soda water and cigars, is to be congratulate ed. Despite all the adverse criticism heaped upon him during the recent campaign by local newspaper, no one SdlQ luSH, Ol VIII soy ioNs tiieA' iiS lacks courage MT. Barber is good man and brave man. He is convinc- ing in argument. His contention that the law must fall upon all alike, can not be refuted; his position cannot be assailed.
 Authorities in the past have been to a certain degree vacillating. MT Barber is an exception. Like a certain rugged pioneer of the long ago, he evi- dently convinces himself that he is right and then goes ahead irrespective of the criticism of those who cannot agree with him, irrespective of what the people might think or do.'
 The Age-Herald is glad that Bir mingham will enjoy picture shows within certain hours on the Sabbath There are many worthy citizens en- gagged in arduous toll throughout six days in the week, who will have great

merely on rumor For it would be ealami- tous were the solons to sit again.
 'It is said that if the people vote favor ably on the proposed bond issue of s1, 100000, the governor will have to be given authority by the legislature to spend the money. It was said that if the bond issue carries an extra session will be necessary. And it is said that if the bond issue fails of indorsement, the state treasury will be in such terrible fix that the legislature will have to get ro- gether and devise means for tiding over the state.
 q do not believe that Governor Hen derson will call the legislature together unless that course should prove to be ab- solutely necessary. It is certain that the people, already sick, would be made spir- itualIy, at any rate, desperately ill"

VICTOR MURDOCH, ARTIST

From the Chicago Evening Post.
 Yes this is the same Victor Murdock who was defeated for the Senate out in Kansas and who, nevertheless, insists the progressive party lives and has glorious future. People generally know him as a vigorous young statesman, with convictions and red hair.
 But Victor Murdock is an artist, and we are prepared to prove it. Before he went into politics he was newspaper man. and his gift of writing has not left him. The New York Times asked him to contribute some impressions Of the plg town. He turned them in scrubbed on sheets of hotel note paper. Here IS one of them, picture sketched in clever lines with atmosphere and soul:
 Saturday morning on the East Side. In- numerable children. An atmosphere red olent of garlic. The scream of heavy wheels on Belgian block. On discol- ored quilt in the midst of the traffic-a sick dog; safe A little shop, with non descript wares, principally pendant, and in the midst of it a third-hand victrola, sunk from high estate, battered, banked busted, and presiding over it, Shylock comes to life. With a scant and cr1nkly beard and scent and crinBly hair under a skull cap. And before his machine and his ministration a circle of children, puer and puella, Jew and Gentle, gold Scand and swart Slav, Creek Latin. Hun and Hittite, listening with eager faces. A worn disk and a blunt needle and the tone wrath of what once was the vibrant rhythm of the Beautiful Blue Danube" '" Brotherhood here and no mistake inn pounded for the future and against all accident New York's glory. Americas s miracle. The cruciblei
 The man who can write that way is in politics for some other reason than to make living. He is going to Europe to write about the war. WeSwish he would stay home and write about America.

IDLE THOUGHTS.

A cloud floats lightly through the sky, An idle thought comes wandering by, It melts away and loses form Unless it makes thunderstorm.
 Washington Star. An idle thought drifts through the mind It has vague and fleeing charm Then fades and leaves no trace behind, An consequently does no harm. -Rhody McPhee, in Springfield Union. A boarder stars a little while, Gets the landlady's gladdest smile, Until some morning she doth find He's gone and left no cash behind
 Houston Post A caller comes to chat awhile, His features wear pleasing smile. But woes me. when he says good-by find myself a dollar shy.

 Opelika News: In view of the fact that in the past there has been more or less criticism of the educational department of the state because it was charged that that department was, possibly, taking little too much interest in politics, 1t hardly looks fair to attempt to drive the teachers of the state into the approach ing bond issue campaign.
 Alabama Courier: Grape Juice Billie is still harping on the unfortunate condition of a country that is preparing for self defense MT. Bryan wants the golden rule to be applied. That is all right for small conditions but when the cannon rule of the enemy gets in action you had better be ready to return blow for blow. The people are not in sympathy with this nlushy idea and we believe the people or these United States will demand of their representatives in Congress to equip our nation with proper defense.

Tammany Stronger Than Ever

It opposed Elihu Roots s state constitution and sne landslide ma jority against it was due largely to Tam many's quiet work.

 T have watched with very great in- terest the remarkable work pr. Edmonds has been doing in Birmingham. I do not know whether you are aware of the fact that we are cousins
 'I hardly ever think of the name Henry Edmonds (and by the way, it may be interesting to you to know that the names Henry, William, Elias, Ralph and Rich ard run back in the Edmonds family at least to the year 130O), without thinking of Dr. Henry Edmonds, who lived in the same Virginia village in which we lived during the war and until 1871: and, by the way, it was from that immediate sec- tion that the Rev. pr. Edmonds' father moved to Alabama Of this other Dr. Edmonds, a most excellent physician, a. quiet, gentle soul, who as we all knew was a little henpecked, an old family servant came across the road one day and said to my mother:
