King Edward,a Jewel.

lBOSton Herald. A famous jewel" is now in the pos session of King Edward. It is none other than the memorial locket de- signed bv the widowed Lady Margaret Lennox to commemorate twenty-six years of welded love with the regent of Scotland, the famous Matthew. Earl of Lennox. who was assass hated 33S years ago. Lady Margaret was known as 'h.s most sweet Madge," and through all the storms or their stormy lives they were true to their love the one for the other. In the quaint lat- tering and emblems of her famous "jewel" this devotion has been im- pressed. It is a heart of gold two or three inches across enriched with gems and enamel. it has hidden springs and revolving doors, angels and deaths heads, clasped hands and Phoenix. flames and darts and rhymng notices London paper says it needs whole pages properly to describe and explain ->~'- and Ii Is easy to be lieve that 1t Is more quaint and curious

Davenport. Ala, Oct. 12, 1909. Editor The Advertiser:
 Out of the obscurity of a Supreme Court clerkship, where he copied opin- ions that other men wrote, rose this leader of a great movement the pres ldent, secretary and treasurer of this league" sneeringly remarked Judge Weakley, Tuesday night at the court house in Montgomery. He was speak ing of Leon McCord. I do not doubt but there were just such sneers flung at Tumitius Cincinnatus when, B. C. 45s. he was called from the obscurity of his farm to the dictatorship of Rome, in order that he might deliver situation.
 May Leon McCord help to defeat a disgrace to Alabama. as Cincinnatus defeated the Aequian marauders. Let us not say by our votes: Here, bind us by legislative enactment, we are not competent to govern, properly,

TWO ApprALs FOR PREyUprCr.

TWO APPEALS FOR PREyUDICE.
 Frightened at the storm their lead CTS raised. alarmed at the defeat which is staring them In the face. the prohibition speakers have abandoned arguments in support Of the iIl-starr- ed amendment and are appealing to the prejudices of the people The ap- peal to prejudice is too thiniy disguis- ed, and so failacious that no sensible man should be deceived.
 The first appeal is contained In the declaration: "The defeat of the amendment means the return of the saloon in Alabama"
 No fair man and no just man can make that statement without doing violence to his conscience. The defeat of the amendment will not cause the door of a single dispensary in Ala bama to swing open. The defeat of the amendment will not lessen the rigor of the Fuller bill.' Not one sec tion of 1t will be touched. It will not modify a single provision of the Car michael bill. It will not touch a clause of Alabamas rigid prohibition code. He who tells the people diff ferently deceives them.
 The second and most common ap- peal to prejudice is the declaration: "If you vote against the amendment you line with the whiskey gang and the whiskey trust"
 The only voter of Alabama in the presidential election of 1908 who did not line up with the whiskey gang" according to the eloquent verbiage of the prohibition agitator. was the man who voted the national prohibition 1 ticket. The man who voted for Bry- an lined up with the saloon and dive keepers of New York. The man who voted for Taft lined up with the whis- key sellers and dive keepers of Phil adelphia and Cincinnati According to political conditions the whiskey sellers lined up in the various States, and any man who voted a Democratic or a Republican ticket lined up with them.
 There was in Alabama in 1906 a whiskey element. men engaged in the then lawful pursuit of liquor selling. It is known to every man familiar with the incidents of that campaign that the whiskey men of Alabama supported the present Governor of Alabama. as against pr. R. M Cum | ningham. Dr. Cunningham had once in the Alabama Senate voted for a dis pensary. and thus incurred the oppo- sition of the saloonists of the State. When he was candidate against the present Governor both stood for local option. On this issue there was no division between them. With both men declaring for local option the whiskey men stood almost as a unit for the present Governor. It will be easily recalled that the barrooms in the cities of Alabama bore this sign
 Vote for B B. Conner. for Governor So the man who supported Cover nor Conner in 1906 lined up with the ! barroom keeners fha hrawara and tha distillers and all that sinful lot The Conner supporter who is afraid of lin- ing up with the whisk ey men has got ten squeamish since the campaign of 1906.
 But after all such a plea is non sense: Why should not a man have the courage to stand up for what is right--no matter with whom he stands for that right?

The way some of the would-be Con- stitution-menders talk one would think that the men of Alabama are weddings of the most pronounced type. They seem to think that any twisting or perversion of facts will be believed and acted on without any effort on the part of the voters to learn the truth. We unhesitatingly predict that these prophets will learn in due time that there are more real men in Alabama than they had any conception of.

MAN WHO SUICIDED IN LAKE
CHELAN WORKED FOR ED.
BAUER OF THIS CITY FOR
ABOUT A MONTH.

Ed Bauer, of this city, received
quite shock when he read the. an
nouncement in the Daily World of
the suicide of Isaac w. Hamilton in
Lake Chelan. Hamilton worked in
this city for Mr.. Bauer for over a
month. Bauer and Hamilton were
friends in the east and both held res
ponsible positions with big brewing
companies. Hamilton was married
and has a son about 81 years of age.
His wife and son are thought to be
living at Greenfield, Mass, but Ham
ilton has been separated from his
wife about four years. 1t is thought
that his domestic trouble lead into
the dissipation which eventually end
ed in his taking his own life. Sher-
if Ferguson ON yesterday tried to
get in touch with some of the rela-
tives and the body is held at Che
Ian awaiting reply from the telegraph
sent. Hamilton at one time was a
member of the Eagle lodge but it is
not known whether or not he is in
good standing.

UNITED STATES STEEL CORPOR-

Cleveland, O., July 10.-The Iron
Trade Review today says:
1.-The United States Steel Corpora
ton has decided to build 50-mill
tinplate plant and a 50-mill sheet
plant at Gary. These plants will be
the largest of their kind in the world
and their construction may have con-
siderable bearing On the mainten-
ance of the open shop principle for
which the corporation is now fighting
in its sheet and tinplate mills.
''The announcement of an advance
of 81 per ton in prices Of bars, plates
and shapes by the Carnegie Steel
company has not been followed by
the Illinois Steel company. This is
an important step toward abandoning
the time-honored custom of making
Pittsburg the basing point for these
products and will enable Chicago
plants to deliver their products at
lower prices than formerly.
"Pig-iron productions for the flrst
I halt of the present year not includ-
ing charcoal iron amounted to TO-
IS2O,O59 tons, an increase of SO per
cent over the first half of 1908 and
decrease of IS per cent compared
with the first half of 1907. The av-
erage daily production for June was
l64,331 tons, compared with 60,21S
tons in May.
Heavy buying of p1g-iron by the
leading harvester and radiator inter
ests have been a feature of the mar
ket during the past week. The Inter
national Harvester Company purchas-
ed a large tonnage of both northern
and southern iron for various plants
and the American Radiator Company
has purchased about $4,000 tons fol-
Its plant at Detroit, Buffalo and tt

is usually followed by the placing
of many orders by other companies

OBSERVE cALV|N'$
ANNIVERSARY

Geneva, July 10.-Four hundred
years ago today John Calvin, the
great Protestant reformer, was born
In Noyon, France, and in all Protes-
tant countries the event is observed
in more or less elaborate manner.
The city Of Geneva which, for many
years, was the scene of Calvin's re-
formatory activity, and where he
died in 1861, made especial efforts
to observe the memorable anniver-
sary by dedicating a monument of
the great reformer. Calvinists and
Protestants In general from all parts
of Europe assembled in this city to
attend the dedication of the monu-
meHt and the Incl dental exercises
and to do honor to the memory of
the most militant evangelist Of the
Protestant faith.
Calvin was not the author of the
| reformation; Luther is undoubtedly
entitled to that distinction. But Cal.
vim, like his co-religionist Knox, was
| more aggressive than Luther and,
although his part as practical re-
former was acted upon very narrow
stage. his power as a thinker and
writer. organizer and SyStematiZer
extended over the broad field of Eur.
ope. He took up the scattered beliefs
and thoughts of the new evangelical
| party and in the loom of his strange
logical and legal intellect wove them
into a new system. The circum
stances of Calvins life were of kind
to intensity his apostate zeal and
| fanaticism.
Calvin was born at Noyon. July
10, 1909. His father was a notar!
and the secretary of bishop. Young
Calvin was intended for the priest
hood and after he had studied il
Paris he was given curacy. Five
years later his father had a bite
quarrel with the ecclesiastical au
thorities of his home town and as ;
result young Calvin gave up tn,
priesthood and began to study law
In the course of his studies he cam,
in contact with and under the in
fluence of Melchior Wolmar, stron,
sympathizer with the Reforms
movement.

) vate life, the profligacy of his tim

the persecution to which the Reform
lists were then being subjected That
his fear was not -ill-founded was
shown by his arrest when he VEN
tured to return to France in 1894
He was kept in prison several months
and after his release made his way
to Geneva.
1t was in Geneva that he began
to impress his personality on his
time. At the age of twenty-six Ec
wrote his famous treatise, "Institu-
ito Christianae Religionis,' which
was read everywhere in Europe and
spread his fame far beyond the
boundaries of Switzerland At that
time Geneva was a free city of Bur-
gundy. 1t was governed by bishop
of the established church. The CITY
was in state of moral and political
decay when Calvin reached it in
1886. Other French Reformists,
who had been exiled. had preceded
him, and they prevailed on him to
remain and help them in the work in
which they were engaged.
Calvin founded school and after
ward began preaching to small con
gregations. Most of his followers
however, were evidently much less
concerned with his Religious teach
ings than with the prospect of using
his influence to oppos ethe politica
power of the bishop When Calvin
discovered this fact, all the scorr
which he felt for hypocricy wa:
