Miss Stone Held for Ransom.

The missionary magnates who sit in fine offices in Boston or New York, drawing fine salaries, with none of their women imperilled in the least have decided, it is reported, that Miss Stone shall be left to a fate that they know from past experience awaits her. The story of the young French woman who was captured by these Bulgarian ruffians is fully known to these cold blooded, thrifty and very secure mag mates. She was forced to wed one of the ruffians, and when she was rescued she was so broken in spirit that she at once sought the seclusion of religious order of her church.
 Miss Stone. is. deliberately left to similar fate, because, say the mag mates securely lodged, fed and blank eted in New York and Boston, the case would be a precedent, and more young women missionaries would be captured and held for a ransom! This brings up a question as to the responsibility of the magnates. Why do they send young women to the brigand districts of Turkey? When they send them to these districts, knowing full well that they may be captured, it becomes their duty to secure their release, cost what 1t may.
 The talk about precedent" is all moonshine. There can be no harm from such a precedent if they quit sending young women to the brigand districts. If they do send them they should pay ransoms promptly in the case of capture. The responsibility rests upon them. No matter how will ing Miss Stone was to undertake the work. the responsibility for her care and safety rests upon the board that sent her there and paid her salary and expenses. Public opinion is holding and should hold the cold-blooded board to severe account if they refuse to send the ransom demanded, heavy as it is. It Is said the brigands demand >1S0,000. If so, this sum should be.

Let All Read It.

Some men," says the Falkville Chronicle, have said that they are going to vote against the New consti- tuition, and when asked if they have read it, they candidly answer Mo- This should not be so. No man should vote either for or. against the New constitution from prejudice, but all should read it and study it, and then they should vote from patriotic sense of duty"
 This Is the whole case. Let us read and reread the New constitution. Copies of 1t can now be obtained in every locality, on every farm, in the State. A letter addressed to the Hon. Oscar W. Underwood, chairman of the Democratic Campaign Committee, Birmingham, Ala, will procure a copy of 1t, together with the address pre- pared by a special committee of the Democratic members of the conven- tion.
 There is no occasion in the coming vote upon a new organic law for bit terness of any kind-no room for fac. tion or politics, much less for person alities. The adoption or rejection of fundamental law is very serious and important piece of business, and each man should decide the question for himself. Let him above all else read and reread the New constitution before he decides how he will vote.
 The New constitution is free from terms that the layman cannot readily understand. It is well written in lucid phrases of modern English that any one can understand. No lawyer is needed to interpret it. Even the sui. frage clause is not prolix. Any fifteen year-old boy can read 1t and under. stand it.
 Let it be read. Read it in the stores, read it at home, read it wherever you are. There would be nothing very heinous in a reading of 1t in every school and every church. Worse things might occur than that. At any rate let every good citizen constitute himself a Committee of One to pro mote the reading of the New constitu tion. The duty rests upon all of us Turn the state into one great reading community, and there will soon be nc need for further work in behalf of the New constitution.

The Music Festival.
paid.

As important to the musical public of Birmingham as the coming of the Grau Opera Company is, more import ant still, from a local point of view, is the Choral Society which has been organized for the purpose of giving our future music festivals.
 The festivals have been held here tofore on the guarantee plan and un- der the management of temporary organization. For three years past the city has been canvassed for the festival guarantee fund, and to the credit of our business men and music lovers the response to the appeals of the canvassing committee has been invariably prompt and generous.
 But those who have taken the lead in the festival work have agreed that the time has come when Birmingham great annual musical event should be placed on a permanent and business like basis. It has been decided that no more guarantees should be asked for, but that the funds necessary to pay for next years festival and all future festivals should be raised in the way of annual dues to the Choral Society, each contributing member re- ceiving in return for his money two seats for all festival concerts and such other entertainments as the society may plan for the winter season.
 In order to make this scheme work it will be necessary for the Choral Society to have a contributing mem- bership of not less than seven hun dred. The dues are only s5 year, and it is believed that seven or eight hundred citizens will gladly join the society.
 Unless the membership is recruited to the extent named within the next few weeks Birmingham will have no festival in 1902.
 These festivals have given Birming- ham an enviable reputation and they must not be abandoned for lack of interest on the part of our people, nor will they be.

called there is the shade of death about the doing of it-grief. sorrow, death; pain that by the brave Is bravely borne.
 
 ITO the noble mind,
 Rich gifts wax poor. when givers prove
 unkind."
 There does not dwell upon the earth any mortal who Is of right in any sense to prove unkind to any other one. Pre- meditated or deliberate unkindness tells the vulgar story of ill-breeding of coarse ness of character. or of d heart that is innately selfish and impure.
 Whatsoever is unkind to another is lacking in self-respect and In charity. Every act or word of unkindness Is a dragons tooth planted in soil prolific in the production of all manner of shapes of unrest, shame and sorrow.zs,$Sa.5 Unkindness makes misery in this life and is the passport to perdition, and 1t bears above satan's sign manual the crossbones and skull of despair and death
 Kindness Is the golden key to human happiness and is wrought to unlock the gates of heaven. It fashions all the sir- tueS, tilu WitHouI IL Cnere IS no power Tn love or prayer. Without 1t there can be no joy, no peace, no laughter, no hope. Kindness divides the human from the unhuman; the gentle woman and the gentle man from all the vulgar herd with brutal instincts and brutal practices.
 Kindness puts song In the soul, sun shine in the heart; lifts the burden of all grief and brings sweet peace to abide through glad days. and dreamful nights of repose; shifts sorrowful scenes, and brings us to blessed isles of enchantment rolls away black curtains of the souls gloom, and lets in the glorious flood of light that is of life and love and sweet ness 7 And some with thankful love are filled If but one streak of light, W One ray of Gods good mercy, gild ss The darkness of their night"
 The one speck of darkness in our great heaven of blue shall pass, if we so will my beloved, for all the earth Is filled with the great glory of Gods good mercy. We have but to do deeds of kindness speak words of kindness, live lives of kindness, and joy shall come to us in full and perfect measure.
 Be ever kind, my beloved, be ever kind!

Two Happy Years in Siuht.

Governor Jelks seems to have race to run with no competitors in his own party. He will undoubtedly be nomi- mated for a full term of his own, and no man will say he does not deserve 1t.
 So, too, with Senator Pettus. The noble old man, who was a warrior in war time and a wise counsellor in peace times, is to be reelected to the Senate without opposition in his own party. He promises to be elected unanimously, as Senator Morgan was. Alabama cannot spare her two grand old men.
 These choices go to show that a period of quiet is to follow the adop- tion of the New constitution. More business and less politics will be the rule next year, and in 1903 the poli- tician will go on vacation altogether. But Hateful 1904 looms portentiously up through the haze! Never mind, however. Alabama can stand it, if she can secure two years of peace and prosperity in advance.

Controlling the Trusts.

Tn his Minneapolis speech, delivered . few days before the tragedy at Buff fa1o, President Roosevelt said: "Yet more and more it is evident that the State and, if necessary, the nation has got to possess the right of supervision and control as regards the great cor porations which are it's creatures, par ticularly as regards the great business corporations which derive a portion of their importance from the existence of some monopolistic tendency"
 President Roosevelt knows that 45 states and several territories cannot be brought into line on any subject, least of all on that of corporation con trol, for the corporations absolutely control more than one Legislature, if fat all.
 If the President means what he said at Minneapolis-if his words at that place were not for Buncombe-he must know there is but one real and eff

fectual remedy-a repeal Of duties on every article made by trusts or mo- nopolies of any sort. The history of free-trade England points the way. England has no trusts that can mark steel billets $10 ton above the ex- port price and the confessed cost of produotion-none that can cut the price of sugar in one county and main tain 1t in another She has a few trusts that are effective trade man. agers, but none that can arbitrarily dictate prices. Why? Because her ports are open to the world.
 What England is doing we should do. We should clip the wings of all combines so far as prices are cond- cerned. Open the ports to all trust made articles, and the people will do the rest. This Is all that is needed, but this simple and durable plan can never come through the Republican party, because that party derives its campaign funds largely from the trusts. It is hand and glove with them. When the people have had enough of twenty-eight-dollar iron rails and variegated sugar prices they will rise up and call in the Democratic party and real tariff reform. There is no other way to control the trusts.
