Three valuable rings. two solitaire
diamonds and a large turquoise ring,
belonging to Miss Pearl Morrison,
mysteriously disappeared from a
bureau drawer in her room at the
Brown Hotel, where she had placed
them in a jewel case on Saturday
morning. Their disappearance was
not discovered until Monday. The
SENTINEL has been requested to state
that there is pretty conclusive evi-
dence as to the party who took the
jewels, and that trouble can be
averted by returning them.

GENERAL COMMENT.
Mngnn CharfA.

We notice the Constitutional Con-
vention at Albany dutifully paused to
commemorate the seven hundredth an
nversary of the signing OF the Great
Charter-which naturally inspires the
melancholy reflection that people who
are in a position to get liberty never
need 1t very much. II they needed 1t
very badly they would not be in a po-
sition to get 1t. A combination of
senators surrounding the President
on the White House lawn, and threat
ening to throw him bodily out Of Of
flee unless he stopped trenching ON
the Senate's ancient privileges, would
give US. more or less. picture of
that famous gathering at Runnymede
in June, 1915, when the barons made
King John sign the charter.
John had vexed them by ievying a
royal tax on them, as his tenants-in-
chief, at the unprecedented rate of
three marks on knights fee. He had
extended the royal forests to their
injury. Feudal law made him the
guardian of their widows and or
phans, and he had mulcted his wards
in a manner which the barons consid-
cred outrageous. He mad set up royal
courts that interfered with the pleas.
ant graft of their private jurisdictions.
So they drew up charter which re-
established the feudal order as II had
existed a hundred years before-for
Magma Charta Is distinctively a reac-
tionary document. setting up virtually
nothing new, but merely reaffirmtng
the old.
incidentally they attended to other
little barional grievances, as by pro-
viding that money borrowed from a
Jew should not bear interest during
a minority, and that no man should
be arrested on complaint of woman
unless the charge was that of having
murdered her husband.
II our militant senators were astute
they would strengthen their own hands
by attaching other interests-say, the
House Of Representatives. their
cause. So the barons provided that
the privileges secured to themselves
should also extend to subtenants. IT
has been pointed out, however, that
some of the baronS, while holdirs
certain lands as tenants-in-chief. held
other lands as subtenants; and in that
case they were merely extending the
charter privileges to themselves They
threw a broader anchor to windward
by providing that no freeman should
be imprisoned or deprived OF his free
hold. or outlawed or molested. except
by the lawful judgment OF his peers
and by the law of the land--but that
was not an innovation
Meanwhile more than half the pop
ulation Of England we're serfs. and
with them the Magma Charta had moth
ing to do. Having no liberty. they
were in no position to get any-as
their descendants sadly discovered
when they tried it in the next CEN
tury.--Saturday Evening Post.

HAS NO POLITICAL
ASPIRATIONS.

The Culpeper Exponent, which OPP
posed the nomination OF Hon. Clyde
T. Bowers in the Fifteenth Senatorial
District, in it's editorial column OF
August IS, declares:
The result of the recent pri-
mary election for the nomination
of Democratic candidate for the
State Senate to represent the
district composed of Orange, Gull
pepper, Madison and Rappahan-
mock Counties, has demonstrated
that the people OF this section of
Virginia are for Statewide prohi-
bition.'
And concluding the editorial Tho
Exponent says:
zone word more IN conclusion
The situation as we view 1t Is this:
The responsibility fer the future
administration of the local affairs
of the State should be wholly In
the hands of the drys Ii that Is
t,-ue. and we believe 1t Is, the
logical man for Governor is the
Rev. James Cannon, leader OF the
Anti-Saloon League of Virginia"
The conclusion of The Exponent IL
logical from the viewpoint of men In
political life. But DR.. Cannon is nov
in political life in the ordinary sense
of that term. and has never been.
Moreover, shortly after the victory
for Statewide prohibition last year he
made a positive statement that he
had no aspirations whatever for poll
teal office, and was concerned only
with political life as 1t affected mora
issues.
The virginian is In a position t.
know that DIR. Cannon holds the view
that he can be of more service to tbs
people of Virginia without becoming &
candidate for any State office. And 4
Ia not probable that anything will hap
pen to change his conviction on tina
subject.

that the sort of men who do not be-
