SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILASDER JOHNSON.
Our Politicians.

We like our politicians down to Po-
hick on the Crick
Although we make unkind remarks
and hint at methods slick,
We know their minds are active and
their hearts are beating strong.
Those who aren't on the level do not
linger with US long.
They disagree on methods and among
themselves they fight,
But each is doing battle for the cause
he thinks is right.
Going forward with his duty. he keeps
working just the same
When the crowd that he expected
goes to see base ball game.
Our lives would miss lot of Joy,
when all is said and done.
If it weren't for the cheers with which
we greet a favrite son.
We never stop to think about their
troubles or their debts,
Imagining that our applause should
silence all regrets.
We need 'em in our business when we
want man to speak
In words that point out clearly how
we feel and what we seek.
Too often when they've earned bou-
quets somebody heaves a brick
But we like our politicians down to
Pohick on the Crick.

1t seems to me that it is going d
bit too far to speak of flowers in
terms of human beings, however.
Certainly most persons. even flower
lovers, can see no expression of
counte nance" in flowers comparable
to that in men and animals.
The very charm of flowers it would
seem, lies in their utter difference
Here are exquisite examples of de-
sign. color and perfume, making a
pure appeal to the esthetic sense.
We can say the violets are "shy"
shat the pansies smile" at us, that
sunhowers and hollyhocks are "plain.
honest and upright but we do so
only with metaphorical intent
The glory of flowers is that they
are not like US, but are a totally
different expression of the Creator,
yet one we can love and understand.
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

A. This is term applied to a Gus

which the procedure of that body is
based chiefly on the honor of Sena-

OF senatorial courtesy that member
shall not be interrupted in course of
a speech on the ground that his time
has expired; that personal requests
of Senator'S for the immediate con-
sideration of a bill shall be granted
and that the Senate will refuse to
confirm the nomination Of an appoint
ment to Office in a State whose Sena-
tors object to the person nominated.
AS a result of this unwritten rule. 1t
is often necessary for the President
to consult beforehand with the Sena-
tors from q State in which he IL
called upon to make an appointment.

SILENT TRIBUTE IS PAID WILSON
Lyric Audience, In Unique Serv- ice, Hears Debate On Prin-
 ciples He Advocated <,

An overflow audience at the Lyric theatre stood for 30 seconds in, rev erent- silence Sunday evening when Dr. Henry Nj. Edmends, pastor of the In dependent Presbyterian church. broke the news from Washington that the great war President had passed on.
 Then, the set program was swept aside for numerous speakers to acclaim his greatness and predict that the ideal istic principles for which he fought during the best days of his life will yet prevail.
 In many respects it was the most unique. religious service in Magic City history.
 From the stage. Mrs. s4ula Shepard, secretary of the National Reform league, debated with Leo Oberdorfer the merits of the League of Nations as compared with the Box peace plan.
 ''The women of the world ask for the league" declared Mrs. Shepard, be cause they want world peace. The Box plan, and all other proposals for world peace, must be patterned after the plan which Woodrow Wilson formulated.' .'
 After .Oberdorfer had indorsed the Box plan, several speakers, from the floor, discussed these international is sues. State Senator Walter S. Brewer opposed any ..entangling alliances" but Irving Ingalls, predicted that the Vii son principles-would be firmly estab- lished in the near future.
 Members of the audience fired many questions at the several speakers. The usual musical program was carried out. N5 l.

The act will be 10-install- ment. production of John Mulrennan, thatcher of trouble-seeking youngsters.
 The first was scheduled for Friday night, with Johnny McGinty and Billy Brown as principals. Then Johnny got his nose smashed in New Orleans and could not live up to his end of the program. Avera was substituted for McGinty for the bout. Then, Friday. Brown showed up in Birmingham with badly bruised hand, due to getting it caught in a poolroom door in Mem phis, and, instead of going into the ring. was sent to a doctor by Mulren- man. Both boys remained over in the city and are ready for the bout tonight.
 Both fighters stepped through lively training sessions at the armory Sun day afternoon before quite a number of interested spectators, and Browns hand seemed to be in comparatively cap his game little, but he is said to be a two-fisted fighter of no mean ability. so the mere loss of the use of one hand will not hamper him a great deal.

 AT THIS TERM
Solicitor Davis Hopes To Find Time-McArthur Says Client
 Is Ready

Trial of Warden J. D., Evans of Banner mine, charged with assault and battery and assault with weapon in connection with the Banner convict mutiny last fall, probably will be held sometime this month, Solicitor Jim Davis said, Sunday night. The case was set for trial December 3, but was passed to be reset.
 Solicitor Davis said he hoped to have the trial in February, if he can find time from the other important cases he is now handling to conduct-the prose- cution. If it cannot be reached this. month, he said, he would insist upon its being tried in March.
 II am keeping my eyes on the inves- tigation of the Aldrich mutiny," he said. and my postpone the Evans trial until it is completed. However, it is hardly likely that this investigation will last long enough to delay the Evans trial"
 F. D. McArthur, attorney for Evans, said Sunday night that he was ready for the case to be brought to trial. He said his client had fully recovered from the illness which made it necessary to postpone the hearing last fall. !. We are ready" he said "As soon "S ooici'oi DaNis "lshes to nave tne case set, we shall be prepared for it. I am only waiting on him. Warden Evans will enter a plea of not guilty"
 Subpoenas were issued October IT for the appearance at the trial set for December 3 of 17 convicts said to have been witnesses to the alleged as- sault; but these were returned marked mot found" It is thought Solicitor Davis will make special request for them through official channels to in sure their presence.
