FIRST POINT IN FIGHT
Alabama Backers of Anthony Amend
ment Smiling GleefsuIIy.

Alabama Backers OF Anthony Amend
ment Smiling GleefsuIy.
Montgomery. Ala, july l2,--Despite
the efforts of Representative J. Lee
Long, of Butler county, and an infor-
NAL steering committee of house mem
bers opposed to the ratification of the
national woman suffrage amendment,
to rush consideration of the amendment
by a rejection resolution, the suffragists
here on the job are smiling gleefully.
They say that they have won the
first point in their fight for ratification
through the influence of Gov; Kilby.
who it is said has given out the word
that the income tax and the revenue
will certify the national amendment TO
the legislature for action. This will
keep the rejection resolution offered by
Representative Long in the rules COM
mittee. to which 1t was referred, as
there will be nothing to resolve against
until the national amendment is official
ly certified by the governor to the leg
islature.
The ways and means and appropria-
ton committee which has in charge
the big revenue hill is going over the
document carefully before making its
report and in all likelihood that bill
will not be disposed of for at least a
week The income tax law will also
have to be disposed of and the suf-
fragists coming to Montgomery came
here with the intention to play wait
ing game.
Every day that passes without certi-
flcation of the amendment to the legis-
lature means more votes for ratifica-
ton and those who are in favor of
ratification are working overtime with
the special committee OF the Alabama
Equal Suffrage association in an ef-
fort to convince the members of both
houses that it is absolutely essential
from a political standpoint. at least
that Alabama ratify the amendment

the war taught them the necessity OF
close cooperation to keep alive.
The united nation probably would
take the name Scandinavia.
"Since Sweden and Norway were
separated in 1906" said Larsen Ledet,
the friendship between the two
countries has increased and has been
Immensely strengthened by the war.
Denmark and Norway speak prac-
tically the same anguage--differing
only as the English spoken in Eng
land and in the United States diff
fers. Sweden is a trifle different, but
still every Norwegian and every Done
can understand Swedish, and every
Swede can understand Danish.
"Our civil laws are practically
the same, our customs are the same
in nearly every particular we are one
people. Why not one large nation In
stead Of three small ones?"
Mr.. Larsen Ledet believes Finland
would become a member of such a
united state because of the prepon-
derance of Scandinavian people In
Finland.

Protestant bodies, all use the method Of

JOHN A, EPPERSON

The community was shock
ed at the news of the sudden
death of John A. Epperson of
Algood. on Tuesday, June II.
AS We think of it, we become
deeply conscious OF the great
loss the community sust9ins in
his death. 1t would be a beau
tiful tribute to his life if l
could express in perfect SIM
plicity what every one who
knew him thought of him. He
was a character who rose to
the full stature of a man. He
was one of those rare souls
who draw all people to them
selves and inspire them to
happy and spontaneous service.
But the wealth of his charac-
ter was shown in his accept
ance of that service. He nev-
er took advantage of loyalty
for selfish exploitation of his
fellows. He understood and
respected the sanctity of friend
ship. He was human, and had
a share of human infirmities,
but he did the best thing a
human can do; he gravitated
ever toward the good and the
true. He possessed that rare
quality of judgment; that gen.
tleness of spirit; that genuine
ness of sympathy; and that
radiance of soul that made his
life, before his physical, col
lapse, a perpetual benediction
to all who in any way touched
his life. These qualities of his
character made his service to
his community notable: his
business a marked success;
and his home a place of sun
shine and easy, unaffected hos
pitality.
l could rot hope to allay
the anguish of spirit felt by
those who loved him, but I
would offer the consolation to
be had in the firm belief that
"All he has willed or hoped or dreamed
of good shall exist;
Not its semblance, but itself; no beau
ty, nor good, nor power
Whose voice has gone forth, but each
survives for the melodist
When eternity affirms the conception
of an hour.
The high that proved too high, the he
roic for earth too hard,
The passion that left the ground to lose
itself in the sky.
Are music sent up to Good.
Enough that he heard it once: we shall
hear it by and by"
Browning was one of those
men into whose ears God
whispers the secret Of the.
eternal youth of truth and
beauty. He tells us that what
ever is true survives ever and
can not die.
If We could lift the veil of
darkness behind which we
grope in bitterness of spirit,
we should come out into a
holy sunlight, and see in truth
that God gives back to us our
friends more deeply, more
tenderly, more sacredly, after
they have been taken from us
by death. They visit us in
those holy moments when we
rise above the material into
the pure atmosphere of spirit
llal meditation. If Christian
philosophy be true, then all !
We admired and loved and
rose to meet in John A. Ep- |
person lives in all it's strength |
and beauty today.
A FRIEND.

FORTUNE IN A THRONE

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 When Wilhelm II became King of Prussia he inherited an elaborately carved chair, overhung by siiken cur tains, which was the ancestral throne of the Hohenzollern dynasty. This chair, however, was modest and unpretentious affair compared with the throne of the German Emperor, which is said to have cost more than s1e0Oo0. It is described as built of native woods in their natural tints. with the armorial bearings ot the Hehenzollerns above the lofty back and covered with carved designs emble- matic of the states composing the Teu- ton federation. The back, supported by two columns of wood. is\ of leather and ivory, and the seat is overhung by a canopy of velvet The tips of the arms are solid gold, with a setting of emer- aids. There is also much cloth of gold to add to it's gorgeousness.
 On this wonderful chair. on state oc- casions, the all highest sat in awful ma jesty, dressed in military uniform ot white and gold, in posture bolt upright, and with his right arm clasping an arm of the throne. while one foot rested on a velvet covered hassoch .N
