His honor, rooted in dishonor, stood, and faith unfaithful kept him falsely true"
 And so, steeped in tradition, the spec tacle is presented of the Mississippi leg isIature rejecting the suffrage amendment after debate of ten minutes, amid laughter and cheers. Small wonder that the press of the country and the women inquire, "On whom is the joker"
 We learn of Georgia's defeating ratifi- cation; Of the humiliation of Virginia S wemanhood, and we carry about with US the modification of South Carolina fail ure to ratify.
 By contrast we are not so bitterly ashamed of Alabama, whose reactionists were not completely in, control, for our contest was close-too close for laughter and close enough for tears At one period of our legislative session we were within one vote of victory. Hundreds and hun dreds of the ablest men and women of the state were actively working to persuade the Legislators that the suffrage question had been transformed from local issue into national opportunity, and that the time had come when every problem of every section of our country must be con- ceived in terms of the nations life.
 But the eloquent pleas of the chief jus tice of our supreme court and the strong favorable resolution. which the state ex- ecutive democratic committee passed could not combat the combination of prejudice, tradition and personal politics.
 OLD AND DYING THEORIES
 There was neither laughter nor cheers when we failed; there was only the residual flash of old and dying theories or government and the evidence, as there lad been throughout the long campaign, of a determination on the part of our United States senators and all but one Of our congressman that the adverse vote they had registered in Washington, must be vindicated at any cost; and the ma chine was in working order.
 One of our senators who voted against both national prohibition and suffrage is reputed to have said he would stand against the prohibitionists for reelection in the primaries this spring but he could not hope to win if the votes of the wom- en were added to those of the drys. There is a well-founded belief that the suffrage defeat in Alabama was the first skrmish in the Underwood campaign.
 If these men who invoke the doctrine of states rights when it suits their pur- poses and who are still dominated by those old, unhappy, far-off memories of fifty years ago were sincere, we who live in. the present might more readily forgive them. If they really wished the ballot to come to the southern women by the state route, we would have had more referenda. The test of their sincerity has been in repeatedly declining even that medium of relief to the voteless women. They are opposed to justice not merely to its method of attainment. It is the habitual attitude of the professional pol itician, until surrender is exacted by overwhelming public opinion.

DISPUTE OVER
FIRST INVENTOR
Several Men Have Claimed Honor Of
Making First Watch and II Is
Hard to Determine Which
One Really Did 1t.

At Nnremburg there is statue to
Peter Heniein, who is credited there
with being the inventor of the watch.
BUT Leopold Reverchon shows in La
Nature that, after all, Henlein In.
vented nothing but the ring by which
a watch is held to chain. for clocks
with spring and stack-freed had al
ready been made for nearly CEN
fury, and all he had to do was to
make small ones.
Henlein was born in 1880 and be-
came a master 1ocksmith in 1909.
Now, in 1904, Julien Coudray, Of
Blois. France, was already master
matchmaker Of the first class, as is
proved by an order on the cashier Of
Louis XII to pay 10 livres and SOUS
TO him as matchmaker to the king"
And in 1913 he made a watch for
Francis l so small that it was insert
ed in the pommel Of the kings dag
ger. 1t is therefore more probable
that Coudray was making watches
before Henleiri.
