deepening OF this great waterway.
| AS soon as the 57th Congress convened
last December Mr.. Fowler renewed the
| fight. with the result that the river and
harbor bill, which became law, carried
an appropriation now available, OF
$696, 900 for this much needed improve
ment.
Mr.. Fowler, from the beginning of
his congressional career, advocated a
public building for Elizabeth. AS re-
suit an appropriation of $3.50 was
secured at the last session of Congress
for the construction of public building
and post Office, and 100000 was made
available, and covered into the sundry
civil bill
In 1897 Mr.. Fowler introduced a bill
for the creation of Tariff Commission
in order that the very evident Unequal
tiles about which so much is heard to-
day might be gradually adjusted
At the very beginning OF the last ses-
sion, he introduced far more import
ant measure of the same character,
since, if enacted into law, ii would give
the commission power to examine any
of the officers, attorneys or agents of
any corporation doing an lnter,stat
business or manufacturing any goods
protected by tariff duties, and would
also give them power to compel such
corporations to make regular statements
of their business and accounts, the very
thing now 40 strenuously urged BY the
president as the matter of greatest i'm
portance in dealing with the trust
problem
Nor is Mr.. Fowler content with his
efforts in the halls of congress, but
treats his legislative duties as if they
were his own private affairs it being
well known in Washington that he has
already expended more than ten thous-
and dollars in sending out upward OF

Ier's Place" Asserts the Jersey
CIty Journal.

1t is not often that the people can
secure the services of man so we'll
equipped by training and experience
as Congressman Fowler to act as their
representative in Congress.
Charles N. Fowler receiver thor
ough collegiate education and entered
the profession of the law. He de-
voted his atte ntion to financial busi-
ness and achieved success. He not only
mastered the subject, but he secured
competence. He has had a large
political experience and has served
as a local committeeman, as Chair
man of the Elizabeth City Commit
tee and as a member of the State
Committee. He served in the ranks
and in command during many we'll
contested political campaigns, during
four of which he was the successful
Congressional nominee. He is a
studious, careful worker, an able
orator and ready and skilfull de-
batter.
During his eight years service in
Congress Mr.. Fower has earned
national reputation and reflected
credit on this State 1t would be
a wrong to the Republicans of the
whole State to deprive them of the
natural ability and experience of
Congressman Fowler.
Mr.. Fowler is identified with the
plans for financial reform and even
those who do not agree with all of
the propositions contained in his
plan for securing stable banks and
an elastic currency admit that he
has mastered the intricate questions
connected with banking and currency
and agree to some part of his plans.
He is recognized authority and
should be in Congress. He can per-
form services which no new beginner
could hope for and there is no man
in sight to fill his place in case he
should be retired.

Mr.. Flanagan only claim to popu-
lar approval is contained in card,
circulated broadcast throughout the
district, bearing his likeness and the
following inscription =" Trust Pow
er is Industrial Slavery "
Neither the picture nor the profes-
sion can be fairly criticised as works
of art; but do they possess the higher
beauty of sincerity?
Let us see.
How then, does this prophet in
sleeps clothing thrive, when he prac-
tices rather than breaches?
1t is asserted that the New York
Breweries Go. Ltd, an English
corporation, controlling the business
of Flanagan, Nay and Co.. brewers,
in which Mr.. Flanagan is largely in
terested, and the business of H.
Clausen & Son Brewing 90. of which
Mr.. Flanagan is secretary, is a mem
Der Of the Brewers Association,
trade combination regulating wages,
prices, production and output.
1t is asserted that the Marie Antoi-
nette Importation Co., of which Mr..
Flanagan is director, is a whole
sale liquor dealer and member of the
Whiskey Trust.
Perhaps, Mr.. Flanagan argues that
the exception proves the rule; and for
this reason it was that he omitted
the names of these two notorious and
corrupting monopolies from the list
of Trusts. - which he las also wide
ly circulated.
But is not this assumption of vir-
tue, this evasion of fact, resort to
that old, discredited and desperate
experiment of trying to fool the people
until after election dayP
Such conduct may be justly likened
to the duplicity of him who "stole
the livery of the Court of Heaven to
serve the Devil in"
If the system is bad, then the pro-
testing yet accepting beneficiary of
it is worse.
Mr. Flanagan, like another young
man possessed Of great riches, should
first CO. sell all he has.
To be caught with such pretenses
in one hand and with such goods IN
the other is, indeed, a contemplate
position.

The Diamond Trade.

From the Boston Globe.
 The fattery bestowed on American women of late years and their inl- proved chances to capture the nobility of Europe seems to have made this a diamond mad" country.
 More than 300 establishments in New York City are engaged in the i'm portation of precious stones. Agents are securing Europe for rubies and emeralds and some 5000 men in South Africa are Oh a, hot chace for diamonds with which to add to the happiness and vanity of American women.
 We have imported as many as $20,- 000,0O0 worth of diamonds in single year, and it is worth mentioning in the pulpits and Sunday school classes that in the cause of this phase of hu- man vanity we smuggle on the aver age about $7,000,000 worth annually.
 Our women elbow the other women in the world out of the way in the rush for diamonds. After we have purchased our $12,000,000 worth of diamonds from South Africa there are only about $8,0O0,000 worth left to satisfy the vanity of all the other men and women in the world.
 In the jewel craze" we beat the world. Thousands of poor wretches are digging in the dead craters of Kimberly to provide the wherewith of the "smart set" to outsdazzle world, and the temptation to smuggle is chiefly fed on such things. Diamonds ''is" trumps in this country.

the responsibility is on the governor, for him to do something which they declined to do.
 But Few Are Chosen.
 Tt has been my good fortune to have already been associated with two ad- mlnistrations which, l am sure, when his tory has been written. will rank second to none. When you come to know how many applications are made for pardons you will marvel at how few are granted. Your readers are all familiar with the great furore that Ex-Governor Bob Fay Tor created throughout Tennessee by his lavish use of the pardoning power and how 1t became so notorious that legis- lative committee waited on him to re- monstrate with him about 1t. He turned to one of his secretaries and directed that pardons be made out for every man. in the penitentiary. Then, addressing the committee, said "The next time the General Assembly undertakes to limit my constitutional prerogative, I shall sign those pardons." On the other hand, we have read, too, where the recent gov ernor of California, during his whole administration pardoned but one man. Here in Alabama, since 1 have been old enough to be a Hooker -on," none of our distinguished governors have gone to either one of these extremes. They rec ognize that this is God-given power. for which they have only to account to their consciences, and no just complaint can, l think, be lodged against their actions"

As a general rule meat once a day is sufficient for all classes of men, women and children. and grains, fruit and veg-e tables should constitute the bulk of food eaten. -.-e-a -e
 But many of the most nutritious foods are difficult of digestion, and it is Of no use to advise brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the diges- tion Is too weak to assimilate them prop- erly. ---s
 It is always best to get the best results from our food that some simple and harmless digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive or gans, and, several years experience have proyen Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very safe. pleasant and effective .diges- tive and a remedy which may be taken daily with the bd results
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called a patent medicine, as they do not act on the bowels nor any particu- lar organ but only on the food eaten They supply what weak stomachs lack, pepsin, diastase. and by stimulating the gastric glands increase the natural secre- tion of lydrochloric acid.
 People who make, daily practice of taking one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion, which means perfect health.
 There Is no danger of forming an in- furious habit, as the tablets contain ab- solutely nothing but natural digestives: cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have no place in stomach medicine and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stomach remedies.
 Ask your druggist for a fifty cent pack age of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, and after a weeks use note the improvement in health. appetite and nervous energy.

 An amusing incident occurred the other afternoon in gentlemen's outfitting shop in New street, Birmingham. when GUS toner came in to purchase a hat. He tried on several, and was evidently hard to please. the counter becoming covered with the rejected. At last the salesman picked up a brown felt bowler brushed it round with his arm, and extended it admiringly
 These are being very much worn this season, sir" he explained. Are they?' said the customer, thought fully surveying himself in the mirror, with the hat on his head. DO you think it suits me?''
 Suits you to perfection, sire-if the f1t's right"
 "Yes; it fits very well. So you think I had better have it?"
 'I don't think you could do better, sir
 "No, I don't think I could; so 1 won't have a new one"
 The salesman had been pushing the old hat.

 Nearly everyone will admit that as a nation we eat too much meat and too little of vegetables and the grains. For business men, office men and clerks, ard in fact everyone engaged in seden- tary or indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more healthful. Only men engaged in a severe, outdoor manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health.

The "Pardon Brokers.'

'One of the sad things in reference to pardons, is the fact that some men who nave license to practice law, in the place or being called attorneys at law, might more properly be called pardon brokers" Indeed 1t got so bad at one time that was under the impression that the con- vict inspectors issued orders that these
 lawyers must not be allowed to have access to the convicts. These lawyers would go out to the prisons and get the money which the poor convicts had earned by working overtime and promise them an absolute pardon. Freouentlyl there was no merit in the case and the lawyer ought to have known so at the time of taking the convict's money. But this trouble has recently been remedied.
 "Of course. the responsibilities of the pardoning power are very great We have all heard of tempering justice with mercy At the same time the governor must be ever mindful of both sides of the question, and cannot permit his sym pathy for members of the family of the convict to run away with his judgment and the best interests of the State. He must be just before he is generous.
 ''Now, I could not undertake to advise any of you boys how to proceed if you got indicted for your many violations of the law, but if I were to get into trouble and were to be convicted 1 would start for pardon by trying to get the recom- mendation of the solicitor who prosecuted the case and that of the trial judge Then. of course. the notice of an intended application would have to be given in some newspaper. as required by the statute. Sometimes too, the recommen- dalton of the jury has very great weight. But in many instances the facts are just the same as when the responsibility was on the jury and they held that the party was guilty, but they are willing, when

A Literary KleptOmaniac.

Among French writer's no one car
ried the profession of the literary brig
and to such an extent as Nine. de Gen
lis. In 1880 her evil ways brought her
into the courts Of law under very dis
creditable circumstances. Bout, the
publisher Of series OF manuals, en-
gagged her for the sum Of f1G to write
a Manuel Encyclopedique de Pen
fance." The manuscript, which had
been paid for. was on the point Of be-
ing printed when 1t was discovered to
be an exact copy Of book Of the same
kind published in 1920 by M. Dasscha.

audacity of writer who would perpe.

imbecility which would suppose that
it would not easily be detected.

Of a romance printed some twenty
years before. Surely the poor woman

HeInfnE N scuIptor.

When Macmonnies, the American
sculptor, was, young man working in
Paris, Falguiere, the famous French
sculptor, on one occasion entered his
atelier and found there a beautiful
Diana that had been for months ION
the stocks" and was approaching a
perfection measurably satisfactory to
the sculptor himself.
Falguiere became so absorbed in the
work before him as to forget that 1t
was not his own. He began to twist
and pull the dainty limbs Of Diana this
way and that, to punch her in the ribs,
turn her queeniy head-for she was
then only In clay, of course, and sus-
ceptible to impressions-until at last
he had produced the very pose he de-
sired. "There, my friend; like her
better So" he cried and skipped out of
the studio.
He had really intended to do Mac
monnies favor and had indeed paid
him the greatest compliment Of which
he was capable. but the young sculp-
tor was In distress, for on comparing
the remodeled Diana with q photo
graph of Falguiere's statue Of the
same character he found th- French
man had unconsciously made a prac-
teal replica Of the other. Macmon-
MES did not rest until he had restored
ais statue to Its Original pose.

ReacOn and Instinct.

A certain north country miner was
particularly proud Of a clever little
dog he possessed. At times he was apt
to claim a little too much for his pet,
and one morning a neighbor was en-
deavoring to point out the difference
between instinct and reason when an
amusing interruption occurred.
A seedy looking tramp turned the
corner, and the de-, without so much
as a word from his master, sprang into
the road and offered battle.
''There you are,' Iaughed the miner
as the dog snapped and snarled round
the heels of the tramp "'e don't like
the look Of the chap. That's instinct"
Suddenly the tramp turned and kick
ed the dog into an adjacent field.
"There you are" calculated the min
er's friend grimly. "The chap don't
like the LOOK of the dog. An that's
reason."-London Tit-Bits.
