"lf he declines to accept Christianity or Judaism. he will take up with some nostrum and superstition will supplant true religion. Isaiah depicts the con trast between the light that comes from the prophetic revelation and the dark ness into which necromancy, fortune telling and soothsaying always lead"
 Dr. Sampey told his class that Isaiah drew a picture of nation which dei- fled might and pitted it's warriors against all the nations of the world. Isaiah took the measure of the As syrian said Dr. Sampey, "and dared to tell the proud invader of Palestine

The Second Meeting of the
 Birn1in6hdrn Writers Clubs
By MRS. J. B. REID

The Birmingham Writers club has out lined a splendid programme for the year s study. Each meeting will include a vaiu- able lesson for those who are ambitious to make better use of the pen-to write in good form-and to possibly grow in vol ume and value of work
 There are now 25 members and each of these are in earnest in their purposes, to strive for better journalism and a broader consideration of short-story writ ing and other topics that will be of in terest and value to the club.
 The whole world gives women the credit not only desire to live up to the standard of collecting items, but they are eager to tell their stories better, in a manner more pleasing to the public, and of commer- cial value to the writer. Just how to tell the daily happenings in a manner to serve the purpose of good news, to compose good reading for the public is an art, and one susceptible of high cultivation. For this purpose the women writers have combined and there will be some sparlxles in the air, if the promises of the present enthusiasm are put in print. Of all ar ticles on earth enthusiasm is more in demand than any other when you are starting things, and that same quality is needed all the way through to make suc- cess.
 After all, what is enthusiasm but your real love of the work? determined de- sire to put your best in your job whether it brings dollar or a dime-it Is not the price--it is the accomplishment-thoug few of us but need the price.

natural expression than studied use of language.
 This is especially true of news writing people pick of the daily papers in a few moments of leisure to gather facts and if these items are clothed in an array of words, & frame work of rhetoric, they tire of the process and leave the real story untouched thus 1t is much of wom- ans writings are left for only women to read. Men have an idea that there are frills to everything the average woman does, and they abhor powder puffs and frills. And women are coming down to the point. They are beginning to be pompous about their art of story telling gathering gossip, and they are making ready to put these attributes in print in Letter form.
 sThere are many women writers who write merely because they really love their work, but there are many who are making 1t very worth while. These meet ings of the club will give a course of in- struction in the nature of a friendly criti- cism. and this comparison of ideas will be a valuable asset. In an edition of McGuffeys Reader, published many years ago, we find many lessons from the pen of women writers. both in prose and poe try-since women are entering educational offices. this style of story writing, carry ing the morals to the schooroom, 1t oo- CUTS might open modern field for wom- ans genius Certainly the teachers know the style of literature needed In the graded classes, and from their pen, too. might flow some valuable lessons of modern history-told in school book style-or am out of date-has the old-time reader met the fate of the blue-back Speller?

into the United States, and as Congress about that time enacted the so-caled emergency currency law whereby there could upon emergency be issued as much as $5o0,OO0,000 in currency there came that now historic change from currency star vation in October and November to a plethora of funds in midwnter and the early spring of the succeeding year.
 Now we are again receiving almost Sl0C.- 100000 in gold. We have substantially got back the gold we sent to Canada late in the summer in order to make it possible for New York city to take up the notes then due or about to become due in Lon don. The import of slo0. .000.000 of gold in 1907 represented in considerable part bor- rowings. for it was obtained in great measure upon the discount of American finance bills. Tie gold which Is now com ing in, like .ise import of s10o. .00oO 900 at the close of McKinleys first admsnistra- ton. represents no borrowings. but funds used to pay the United States for com modities bought by ether nations.

Second One Hundred Millions of Gold

The next import Of gold aggregatlng $100,000,000, with which the present inn port can be compared, took place i'm ne- dately after the currency panic of 1907. It was, in fact, due to the immediate utilization of the ocean cables and of our credit in London and also of cotton bills bought by international bankers, that shipment of nearly $10,00O.000 in gold was made while the panic was still raging. The London bankers were only too glad to facilitate the movement of gold this way. They were anxious that the -Ameri- can panic should be ended as speedily al possible and it was to their own interest that this be done. The great international bankers who constituted what used to be called the money power not only bought exchange in great amounts. and in do- ing that relieved the cotton planters of the south and the wheat growers of the
 west from grievous apprehension but they also caused to be discounted in Lon don finance bills, so called, or, Tn other words, their own notes. By means of financial machinery of this kind golG be- gan to flow rapidly to the United States, chiefly from London, and when it reached New York almost all of it was imine- diately forwarded to banks in other parts of the country which were in neei ot gold so that they might strengthen their re- serves and increase their loaniny ca ia city. city The movement stopped when ap- proximately $10O,0Oo,OOo had been brought

 President Murfee announces that the faculty of the institute will also include for the next session two honor grad uates of the Virginia Military Institute. It is expected that the army officer de- tailed for the Marion faculty will be an honor graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and of the United States Mili- tary academy at West Point.
 This high recognition of the importance and scope of the work of an Alabama school by the Secretary of War and President Wilson is gratifying to the people of Marion.

swift import of sioo, ,OOo.Ooo. One of them was the fact that it was in part due to the extraordinarily large shipments of wheat to Europe and also of other food stuffs. It was in part explained by the demand made by England upon us chiefly for food products to be used by her army in South Africa. Furthermore, it reflected somewhat chaotic conditions in London accounted for by the fact that Great Britain had permanently financed her South African war debt It was Tn refer ence to this situation that James stillman, who was then president of the National City bank, was reported to have said that the money markets of the world would rot be in normal condition until Great Britain had financed her war debt perma- nently
 The rapid importation of what in the ag- gregate was $100, 000000 of gold entailed daily extremely careful work in the cl ear ing house. At 1 o'clock each day the chairman. Frederick D. Tappan, with his associates counted and weighed the gold deposited each morning in the clear ing house, and when he had done this
 
 He never went from his own bank to the clearing house-except on Saturday and Sunday-without carrying at least s:,e00, 900 in certificates in his pocket. The clearing house itself was physically em- barrassed by this unprecedented inflow of gold and it was an embarrassmenS not now experienced by the clearing house. There was so much gold that it was necessary to build temporary shelves set up in the aisles of the vaults, and it was deemed expedient to prepare plans for enlarging the vaults.
 This movement of gold was coincident in point of time with a very heavy ab- sorption by the United States of Amerf- can securities which had been held abroad. The estimate was made by the officers of the clearing house that we took back at that time about $l, 600 0o0, O000 of our securities. This was easily done that the movement was not reflected in the money market

HONEST JOHN LABOR'S FRIEND Frame Whooped 1t Up for the Tread we'll In the Miners Strike
 of 1906.

It is well known that John Frame advocated the, cause of the Treadwell mine in the miners strike of 1906. Honest John was then running the Jul neau Transcript. A labor leader Of Valdez gives the Prospector the fol- lowing detailed account:
 The men struck for proper food and better living conditions. Their strike was just, but of course the company fought them. It was good opportunity for John Frame to show his long-boasted loyalty to labor. Did he stick? Not much. His paper steadily took the side of the mine owners. He fought labor for all he was worth. but he was evidently not worth much, for labor won, and Johns rag went to the wall and he finally left town.
 "When the labor organization of Valdez placed the facts before Frame after he came here he was forced to admit them, but justified his course by saying the Treadwell paid him $1 ,OOO for the support of his paper
 It might be added that one of the strike leaders started to clean up Frame on the street in Juneau, but when they went to the pavement Frame saved himself by taking a strong bite on one of the other fel, lows thumbs.

 Are the real laboring men of Val dez going to vote with the men who give them employment, any pay them when they work, and give them cred. it when they need it, or with a wan derng deadbeat who repudiates labor bills, who owns nothing, and whose name was never yet found on pub Valdez?

ONE REAL ISSUE.

The Prospector reiterateS the as serton of yesterdays Miner that the one issue in the city campaign is the effort of an irresponsible agitator to make himself poobah of the town. Preaching eternally against bossism he has worked for nothing else for three years but to make himself po- litical boss of Valdez. He tried to do it through the Democratic party. Failing in that he seeks to build up little sorehead party of his own.
 It is unnecessary to consider the personnel of the Frame ticket. Some of them are good men but they are in poor company. The election of a majority of them is victory for John Frame, professional debt repudiator and political outcast. Frame never kept faith with anybody in his life and never advocated cause except for what he thought there was in it for himself.
 
 the Commoner has abused ill the last two years has at some time been a source of his mulligan supply. He worked for the Hoggatt clan in Jul neau till they wearied of him because he was not worth his keep. He fought union labor in Juneau when he was a corporation man. He boost ed for the Guggenheim railroad crowd in Cordova until he was dropped from the payroll. For a small stipend any of them could get him back. He owes money to men in Valdez whom he per sistently lies about, and apparently his grudge is that after slight asso- citation with him they sheered off to the windward trusting to time and si- lence to make people forget the taint.
 If Valdez turns down the Frame ticket in favor of any seven oppos- ing candidates it will have a safe and capable council and a lot of de. cent people who have been forced in- to temporary association with Frame through support of the same candi- date for congress will be rid of an incubus which has been reproach to them.
