The tragedy that took away the life
of David A. DeArmond while engaged
in heroic effort to carry out from
his burning dwelling little grandson
has deprived not only the democrats of
Missouri but those of all the rest of
the country of resourceful advocate,
an eloquent speaker and an aggressive
leader His congressional service COW
cred 10 years, and il another forceful
congressman had not arisen in the
party from Missouri Mr.. DeArmond
would long ago have become the ac-
knowledged democratic leader. He
had the equipment for leadership of a
great party in the popular branch OF
Congress.
Ills career was suddenly ended and
the dead congressman and his little
grandson whom he held at the moment
Of death in his arms will be buried in
one grave. ALI Missouri will mourn his
fate, and many a tear will be shed
over the sad event in every other
state In the union, for the congress
man that lies dead was well known
to all intelligent readers. He had won
a national reputation, even though
leadership had been denied him on ac-
count Of Missouri's wealth of public

Judge Lurton'S Promotion

1t Is practically determined that
Judge Horace H. Lurton of Nashville,
United States circuit judge, will be
nominated for justice of the supreme
court soon after Congress meets. He
will fill the seat vacated by the death
of Justice Peckham.
The appointment OF Judge Lurton
will not only put third democrat on
the supreme bench but 1t will give the
south an additional member in the high
est court. Judge Lurton was born in
Kentucky in 1914. Before he was ap-
pointed federal circuit judge 16 years
ago he had held the highest place on
the bench of his adopted state. Pres
ident Taft selected him for promotion
because he knew from actual service
with him hts excellent qualities both
of mind and character. Not a word
has been said against Judge Lurton
save some regrets that he Is SIS years
old. The supreme court is no place,
however, for youngsters and If Judge
Lurton should live to serve in that
court 20 years he wi not be as old as
Chief Justice fancy was when he died.
Chief Justice Fuller is 76 years old.
The Osier theory is not good fit IN the
highest court of the land. President
Taft win secure in Judge Lurton a
good lawyer, a good democrat, and "a
good patriot who will strive to
strengthen the ties between north and
south by serving both faithfully. He
Will be content to construe the law
consistently, leaving to Congress the
work Of making the laws.

jefferson County

This imperial county of ours should
roll up large majority against the
amendment. The state will give a
large majority against it and Jefferson
should make banner showing on Mon
day next.
The amendment proposition Is wrong
in principle, and its adoption would be
hurtful to Alabama from almost any
point of REV. 1t would unQuestionably
retard the industrial development Of
the state. Alabama has been taking
the lead in radical and drastic legisla-
ton and this fact has been reckoned
with in many directions to our disad-
vantage.
A crushing defeat of the amendment
will show to the world at least right
tendency on Alabama's part and will
be of inestimable benefit to all inter
ests-agricultural as we'll as industrial
and commercial. The defeat of the
amendment by a big majority will
mean in short speedy uplift from one
end of the state to the other. Jeffer
son county would go ahead regardless
of what turn politics might take here
but a good, strong majority agains
constitutional prohibition will be wortf
great deal to the Birmingham dis
trict. Let every man who feels an in
telilgent interest and real pride IL
Jefferson county do his duty on Mon
day and the majority on the right side
will be all that the most ardent de
! fender could ask.

SPLENDID PLAY

game and Albert Cutler of Boston sur
fered his second defeat in the play today
and tonight in the 1872 billiard tournament
for the championship of the world Cline,
who had previously beaten the veteran,
George slosson, of this city, tonight beat
George Sutton of Chicago, 500 to 49. CUT
Ter, beaten yesterday by the French
champion, Cassignol, was defeated this
afternoon by Calvin Demarest of Chicago,
500 to 47S.
Although Sutton kept good lead up to
the twenty-first inning tonight, Cline
crept up slowly with one of the most
brilliant exhibitions of the game seen
in the tournament thus far. In the twen-
tieth inning he made q run of lag, which
was one better than Sutton's best.
suttons average was 20 1928, and Chne's
20 1924.

and down, but spot middlings remain
above Ia cents, and there is small prob
ability that the price will fall below
IA cents. At least 100000 bales re-
main to be marketed, and no one
knows what the top price of the crop
will be. The mills prefer to keep their
machinery in motion, but they dislike
to make goods that yield no profit.
The annual battle between the mills
and the holders of the raw material
is progressing, but how the battle will
be decided no one can say. Holders
are sanguine but the spinners are
pretty stubborn, and time will tell
which is to win out.

INQUIRY into THE
GOAL LAND CASES

Seattle, Wash, November A.-For the
first time since the hearing opened. re-
lations of the so-called Guggenheim inter-
ests to the Cunningham claimants was
taken UP by the attorney for the claim
ants in the inquiry into the Alaska coal
land cases today. Attorneys for both
sides decided to go ahead with the case
here without waiting for transfer to Spo-
kane.
Charles J. Smith, who built the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifi expedition, and is one Of
the claimants interested in the Cunning
ham group, testified for the defense. re
was interested in tho Alaska claims by
Mr. Cunningham, who was authorized
by Smith to file on a claim in the Kat
ALA district.
Mr. Smith said there never had been
any intention of holding the claims for
some outside corporation. He said that
he knew it would be impossible for one
man or three. working together, to oper-
ate successfully a mine in the Katslia
district because of the isolation OF the
properties and great expense that would
no required to get the coal to tidewater.
He said that it was his understanding
that they would join to carry on only
work that could not be successfully car
ried out by claimants acting separately.
In July, 1907 Mr.. Cunningham informed
him that the so-called Guggenheim inter-
ests proposed to build railroad from
the mines to Cordova and later Informed
him that a committee had been appoint
ed TO take up the matter with the Gug-
genheim interests.
AS a result of efforts Of this committee,
he said the Guggenheims agreed to build
the proposed line in return for which
they were to handle the mines output.
Mr.. Smith said he was not party to
this agreement which subsequently fell
through. Later some claimants formed a
company to build their own road.
smith then told of tilt he had with
l.. r. CLAWS, at that time a special agent
for the government. Cunningham
brought CLAWS into Smiths office after
the claims had been held up. Cunning
ham said that CLAWS wanted them to sign
an affidavit setting forth that they had
no intention of holding the coal claims
for the Guggenheims.
1T talked little short" Mr.. smith
said. land I told CLAWS that had made
| all the affidavits I was going to make. l
| said that I was willing to let the matter
rest on the statements I had already
made, but when CLAWS explained that he
wanted this affidavit to clear up BELIEF
prevalent in the land office that we were
working for the Guggenheims, l con-
| sented."

Politics Instead Of Morals

Inc chief eccentricity of the amend
ment issue consists in the persistent
effort to separate the proposed incor-
poration in the constitution of police
and stronger liquors from public policy
to make 1t a moral or even a religious
question. 1t is as Captain Hobson has
said a strictly political question, and
it can no more be made moral, much
less a religious question, than could
regulations concerning the manufac-
ture of leather or the storage Of gun
powder
And yet the political schemers VINO
stand in the role of beneficiaries be-
hind the amendment are assiduously
cultivating the moral and even relig-
Gus proposition. They do this in order
to work some of the churches for all
they are worth, and to delude some of
the good women of Alabama Those
churches and those women who are
striving to put prohibition in the col
stitution when the state already has a
sufficiency of 1t in the Fuller and Car
michael bills are really striving to
make Judge Weakley governor and to
perpetuate the grip of Comerism in
state politics. By raising the cry OF
moral and religious issue the
schemers behind the amendment are
misleading some of the churches and
some of the good women of Alabama.
These churches and these good women
are thus really thrown into politics
through the skill and fnesse of the
celebrated firm of Conner, Weakley &
Lawrence.
The amendment before the people
relates solely to the administration OF
the state. 1t refers directly in its sec
ond section to the police power which
concerns the public convenience and
the public good. So said the United
States supreme court, and the highest
court in New York said "the police
power is an equivalent term for the
Legislative power" The amendment
would be in short an exercise OF the
police power. and behind 1t would stand
the politicians who planned it in po-
Iitical caucus, and who purposely
brought 1t on while a large number OF
white men are disfranchised through
neglect as to poll tax payments. In
stead of being a moral or religious is
sue it is simply proposed exercise
of the police power in order to benefit
a coter1e of politicians who fear the
people are firing of empty treasures
and endless agitations.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1909-11-25


Politicians on either side of a con-
test are proverbial for making exag-
gerated claims Just before election day.
And the weaker the cause the greater
and more vociferous the claim of
coming victory. In the presidential
campaign of 1896 the partisans of Mr..
Bryan claimed the earth, so to speak.
And in every succeeding presidential
contest the democrats were past
masters in claiming not only all the
doubtful states but many OF the states
that were surely republican. In this
Alabama campaign the defenders of the
constitution having heard from the
country and being on solid ground,
claim decisive victory, Of course; and
experienced political Observers recog-
nize the reasonableness and truth of
such a claim. But the amendefs, who
haven't the ghost. OF show Of carrying
the state. are doing the loudest claim
| ing.
