Candidate for State Auditor.

The selection by the State Executive Committee of State Senator sowell to fill the vacancy on the Stae ticket created by the untimely death of Judge Matthews will prove satisfactory in all parts of the State. MT. Sowell has served in both branches of the Legislature, is lawyer of high stand ing, and he has friends in almost every county.
 In his own section and town he is espe- cially respected, and the mineral district will, in return for the honor of the nomi- nation, give him a bumper vote. No man could have been selected who knows Ala bama more thoroughly than he does. He was born in the State, and he loves every inch of it. He should receive the full Dem ocratic vote in all counties, for he is an ex- celent citizen and good Democrat, and will make an efficient Auditor.

Pju Iron Production.

The New York Mail and Express, in dis The recent cut in the prices of iron and steel instead of depressing the production of those staples, is much more likely to stimulate it. Prices are gradually falling to a level that will induce heavy buying; purchasers are already entering the mar ket, and the chances are that the manufac- turers will begin the fall season with their output sold far in advance When prices have touched bottom-and there Is a gen. eral belief that they have nearly reached that point already-the trade will, in all probability, enter upon another period of increased activity and moderately increas- ing profits. This view Is strongly support ed by the ratification of the wage scale agreed upon between the manufacturers and the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, whereby the possi- bility of strike is removed for year at least. The new scale, while virtually in the nature of a compromise, grants a slight increase in wages, thus implying a belief on the part of manufacturers that the pres ent downward tendency of the market is only temporary.
 This view of the case is strengthened by the fact that production has eliminated and is, in fact, declining at a pretty good
 
 there were 2s4 furnaces in blast, weekly ca pacity 2S3, ,413 tons, as against 293 in blast June 1, having a weekly capacity of 296,376 tons. This shows decline equal to about 6OO,OOo tons year. similar decline in July would readily bring production within consumption and stop the accumulation, especially in the furnace yards.
 On January l there were about the fur naces only 127,34 tons; now there are 421,- 03S tons. The warrant yards are still empty. Fourteen coke and anthracite furnaces were stopped in June. this accounting for the loss in weekly capacity. There was a gain in June in charcoal production, but the entire production of the charcoal fur naces is inconsiderable anyway If four teen more coke and anthracite furnaces are blown out in July production will be with in the demand, and the anticipations of the Mail and Express will certainly be met. Thus far no Southern furnaces have been stopped except for repairs, and perhaps none will be. None will be if the optimistic view of the Mail and Express prove we'll founded.

Ups and Downs of States

When the first census was taken, in 17eo Virginia was far and away the leader in population, wealth and political prestige. She had then population of 747, ,OOO and the next in rank, Pennsylvania, had 434, 900. New York and North Carolina were third and fourth, and New York was fifth, in rank, having 340,0OO people. In the censuses of 1900 and 1910 Virginia led all the rest, but in 1920 both New York and Pennsyl- yania passed her. and the course of the grand old historic State has eyer since been quite far down on the list. In 1890 she was the fourteenth State. New York gained first place in 1920, and has held it ever since. Pennsylvania came promptly up to second place, but she never got any fur ther. In fact. only two States Virginia and New York, ever reached first place Illinois rose rapidly to third place, displac- ing Ohio in 1890. Ohio still holds fourth place. Missouri fifth, Indiana sixth and Massachusetts seventh. Then follow in or der Kentucky, Michigan, Iowa, Texas, Tennessee.

esteemed bad form for a young woman and a man to drive out unaccompanied, lover and the object of his fierce idolatry went far along a lonely road to the base of a pillared rock, from the top of which was wide and beautiful scene They left the vehicle and ascended; and up there he worshiped her as a goddess upon an altar. He was mad All lovers are. So was she. The world forgetting and by the world un- molested, they reveled there in greatest joy ousness. Returning down the steep declivi- ty, she turned her shapely little ankle and fainted. He perceived the trouble, and re- alized that her laced high boot must be re- moved from the shapeiest foot that eyer kissed the green earth In an instant of time her boot was off and his heart was broken. Three white little toes peeped through rent in the plain black stocking. She came around quickly and he carried her in his strong arms to the vehicle; drove to her home like Jehu, son of Nimshi, drove furiousy, and surrendered her to the tender minstrations of her alarmed moth- CT. In the after time she married a fat man, dear little thing with the undarned stocking Her lover of the piIlared rock sorrows still.
 
 Be civil-keep your stockings darned-be not slovenly in speech or act or raiment-do not run down at the heels in any essential respect-and you shall never have to face a frowning world, or any drowning person upon the earth. You will cause no grief will blow up no cloud to hide the sunlight from honest hearts. You have no more moral right to rob human heart of a beam of light than you have to rob hu- man pocket of a coin of the common veal. You possess no stronger privilege to be slovenly in your speech or actions be- fore your fellows than you have to give them leprosy; for if you be uncivil you are in the society sense a leper. No reputable society pardons physical, moral or lingual slovenliness.
 But these things do not directly concern us beloved. Our interest in them is mere- ly benevolent. We are tidy in the sight of our own, and our own are tidy in our sight, and we are tidy toward one another. He Is untidy indeed who hasn't some tidy soul to go to in hour of gladness and hour of grief, knowing he will find tidy spirit, joy ous or grieving.
 Vulgar sloveniness may possess the earth and the fulness thereof; but the soul tidy shall inherit heaven and it's glory!

Neither Panic Nor Boom.

The Republican politicians are trying 10 retain power by talking overmuch about prosperity, and some capitalists in New York and elsewhere are inclined to set up a panic cry. It would seem" said J. Ed ward Simmons, recently "as if the reced- ing wave of prosperity was upon us, and that we had entered upon a period of com mercial reaction"
 The truth comes from neither the Repub- lican politicians nor from the timid capi- talists. Prosperity is not sweeping the land, neither is diversity. The boom of 1899 has departed but the hard times of 1858 have not returned. A panic cry is now as much out of place as the absurd prosperity talk of the Republican spellbinders is un- warranted. If one were to believe the lat ter they would think that an equal degree of prosptrity had never existed, and that it is all due to Republican statesmanship
 The truth is, this is waiting period be- tween boom and normality. After the Presidential election is passed, the times will be normal and reasonably prosperous, no matter which party wins the offices. Prices will be adjusted by that time, and activity will spring up because the enter prises delayed by absurd and artificial prices will then be taken up and carried out Panic cries and absurd prosperity talk are alike hurtful. Both are alike un- warranted. Both are without bases or truth. The boom is no longer with us, and in the lull there is confidence and hope stunned at the old stands, and every mill and furnace and factory that can make cheaply will have all the orders it can com fcrtably fill

THE MURMUR OF THE WORLD.

There dwelt in far fair Fife a comedy maiden, beautiful flower of Dumblane of the yesteryear, upon whom even men of high degree looked with favor, to the jeal- ousy of their women kind Even the laird touched his bonnet to her, she was so bonny and so modest; and the ancient cas- tie was free to her whenever she elected to wander there amongst the lares and penates of a historic race. My lady her. self had a warm place in her sense of esteem for her. and occasionally had the girl to join her amongst the sewing women Alas, for the maiden! she had dreams, though no real hopes, of possible marriage above her own station-a thing in real life ever fraught with heart fatalities.
 Ilka lassie has her laddie. The maid of Flies most constant and persistent lover, and the one considered by her mither as guid for the bairnie. was of her own de- gree. Her marriage to him was persist ently urged by the auld wife; but the maiden was obdurate, almost rebellious. She urged every imaginable excuse, except the most material one in the eyes of a beautiful young girl with the wider life apparently opening to her. One gloaming- it is always gloaming or afternoon in that dreamful land-she had fingered longer than usual in the shadow of the hedge with that other man, one above her as the world counts grades of life. There is in every womans soul that other man. She was very happy when she joined her mother grooming over her knitting by the freside. There was a gentle rebuke, and then the old story about marrying the con- stant Jamie. This was too much
 q canna, mither; I canna! Jamies got a wooden leg!' almost pitifully.
 "Ah weel! there's aye simthing-aye, simthing! You'll wed tn laddie'
 One who had sought to serve without compromising the beloved maiden met her one gloaming in leafy lane. She was glad enough for a time. As he was about to pass on his way, she suddenly remem- bered something. Rather ruefully she bade him come on the Sabbath and see her kirked. Startled somewhat, he asked her who was the man. She wouldn't tell. When Sunday came he walked to the little cen- tury-beaten, ivy-covered kirk and sat in the pew of the laird. In a moment he heard the stumping of Jamie's wooden leg and looking up he saw by Jamie's side the beautifuest bride in all Fife. He didn't wait in the century-beaten porch of the little church to greet her at her kirking Something bade him not to walt.

Admiral Memphis Wise Action.

Admiral Kempff, who did not see haw he could protect American lives or interests by storming the forts of the Chinese gov ernment at the mouth of the Pei-ho, has been superseded by Admiral Remey. The attempted rebuke of the former was par ried by his prompt answer He showed that he knew his instructions better than the men did who sent them.
 The truth is, the Administration Is trying to keep within the Constitution in it's in- structions to the army and navy in China, while it expects them to win battles that will fire the popular heart in the present campaign. The brilliant capture of Taku was case in point Admiral Kempff did not see how he was justified in storming the forts when his country was not at war with China, and there were no Americans in or near them to be released-none within a hundred miles.
 It is now believed that the crisis at Pe- kin was precipitated by the ill-advised at tacks upon the forts at Taku. It may yet be seen that the bombardment of those forts cost two thousand American lives in Pekin. It may yet be seen that that act turned the Chinese army and government against us, they very naturally considering it an act of war. It certainly was an act of war, and Admiral Kempff had no right, under his. instructions, to Lombard those mud forts, and the Administration had not a shadow of excuse for expecting such ac- tion on his part The bombardment of those forts would have been tantamount to a declaration of war on the part of this coun- try and Congress alone has right to de- clare war. Admiral Kempff rescued the Ad- ministration from it's unconstitutional in- tentions. He deprived the spellbinders of an opportunity, but he was thinking more of his instructions and of the Constitution than he was of the needs of the spellbind- CTS or of the Administration they represent. Wise Admiral Kempff The country will be fortunate if Admiral Remey be alike thoughtful and prudent under any tempta- ton that may arise to win glory and the praise of the empty and selfish

maiden worthy to be an empress who has welded a wooden-legged or wooden headed man, or fool or worse. Many a woman of the gods has listened to true love in false syntax, and welded to repent forever. It is common experience to see beauty with intellect yoked to stupidity, idleness, ras- calsm, drunkenness, poverty bare to the bone. When women wed for money they are to be congratulated It is a noble thing to do It is always pitiable to see a beauti- ful woman, or any woman with aspirations towards the higher life, mated to a fool or to one who gives no sort of promise of ever being competent to satisfy her cray ings and her longings for something be- yond the power of pelf to give.
 Youth fleets and beauty fades, and care comes to abide by the freside where there is not perfect love bringing into more sacred closeness and tenderness enlight- ened spiritual union. The andirons may be golden and yet there exist want colder and drearier than that in wind-swept novel of gaunt poverty. The man may be the woman's and the woman the mans, nominally, and yet the love of each be gone elsewhither. That condition of things is al-
 
 
 But such conditions do not directly con- cern us, beloved. Our interest in them is merely benevolent. We have our own and love our own, and love one another. He is poor indeed who hasn't someone to whom he can go in hour of gladness or hour of grief, knowing that he will find responsive spirit, joyous or grieving Whilst God has given us spiritual fathers to whom we may go whatever betide, He has also given us other friends, loved ones and loving, with out whom days would be gladless The first impulse of every generous soul is to go to some other generous soul. There come hours when one loves the whole world; loves everything; when the heart keeps time to the sweetest of all melodies: when, the spirit being filled win love that glorifies, the earth is filled with beauty that gladdens.
 Yet clouds hiding all this and bringing gloom before it may be created of careless and uncivil speech or thoughtless and un- generous deed. It is a monstrous thing that, to be so slovenly in habit, or word or act, as to wound by even apparent in civility. Slovenliness in speech or conduct Is worse in woman than slovenliness in her raiment. Mark the woman who wounds by slovenly speech or act, and there are holes in her stockings. The man similarly guilty of social solecism is likely to be unwashed

It is claimed that the growth of Newark, Paterson and other cities, and of suburban towns will carry New Jersey beyond Alabama, and that immigration will do much for Minnesota, thus throwing Alabama down to nineteenth place. The chances are that New Jersey will pass Ala bama, but that Minnesota will not. in which case Alabama will be the eighteenth State.
