which he said Hamon asked him to
run for Governor in 192O?" Senator
Stanfield asked.
Yes, that's all bunk"
The witness testified there was no
campaign for Governor in 1920 and
that the campaign was in 1918.
Spencer then asked him what he
thought of Jennings statement that
Hamon had given $685. 600 to the late
Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsyl-
yania and sums to other politicians,
including Harry Daugherty.
Stories Not True
'It is not true, Jake didn't like to
spend his own money and he couldn't
have done it very well without me
knowing it,
What do you think of Jennings
story that Hamon paid million dol
lars to Daugherty, Penrose and VIII
Hays?" Stanf1eld asked.
Il don't think there is anything TO
it. If he could have done it he
wouldn't have done it because he
wasn't in the habit OF giving money
away"
Dyche said he himself had spent
lannon's money in the campaign over
the delegation and I'll say We didn't
spend very much.
"Jake's dead and gone. now"
he said, but I want 10 tell you
that Jake came to me just before

ballots. We voted for Harding

Says Hamon Was kidding

Walsh asked Dyche about Wilson's s
testimony.
Wilson is a reputable citizen whom
I would believe, but 1 think Hamon
must have been kidding him." Dyche
said. Some times Jake's conversa-
ton got rather loose when he was
talking to Democrats"
How much money was spent in
lannon's campaign against McGraw?"
Walsh asked.
TN pun the cover off and tell if
you want me to. but think that was
Jake's personal affair.
Jake spent about $4,000 and I
spent about $50 ,000-of course it was
all his money" Dyche said.

he had given this testimony.
Inman objected to this line Of ques-
tioning. saying that Browns testt-
mony in the bankruptcy case and in
the present case agree.
Ryan replied that. with the excep-
ton Of the first two transactions be
tween the board and the Governor.
Brown did not say, in the bankruptcy
testimony. that the Governor told him
he wanted the money for his bank.
In telling Of every transaction. Brown
has testified, in the present trial, that
the money was intended for deposit
In the Governors bank.
Intended as Loans
you intended these advancements
of June II. June 27 and July 13, as
loans, did you not?"
YES"
Brown attempted to explain the
loans" but was not permitted to
do so.
Ryan then turned the witness back
to the State.
Inman, on redirect examination,
had difficulty in framing his ques-
tions so that they were not objection
able. However, he brought out from
the witness statements that first two
advancements of $4,000 were intend
ed as deposits in the Discount and De-
poslt State Bank at Kentland, and
that. for the others, McCray wished
to be personally responsible.
This was in accordance with
Browns testimony throughout the
trial.
Objection Overruled
Did you know that even before the
credit had gone through the Chicago
bank for these checks, the Governor
was calling up Morris cashier of the
Kentland bank, and telling him to put
the money to his personal credit"
Inman asked.
Over the objection Of the defense,
the witness was permitted to answer.
He answered. "NO "
Did you intend these advancements
to be loans for Governor McCray or
the Discount and Deposit State Bank?"
II intended them as loans to the
band and so understood it."
Montgomery May Testify
The witness was not permitted to
answer Inman's question as to
whether George N. Montgomery, re-
ferred to frequently in the testimony,
was the same Montgomery who was
on the Governors bond and who was
connected with James A. Allison in
the Speedway Realty Company. How
ever, Inman succeeded in getting the
question before the jury.
Montgomery is expected to be a
witness for the defense.

VALUE OF PREPAREDNESS

Ut is encouraging to note the interest in Birmingham and in various parts of the state in National Defense day on September 12, not only on the part of members of the National Guard and pub lie officials, but by civic bodies and civilians. Preparations are under way to impress the people with the impor- tance of a proper observance of the day and it's value to the national defense. Fortunately, efforts to confuse the idea and purpose of this movement with mill itiarism in the sense of encouragement of war has had little effect on the coun- try, and public opinion is overwhelmingly favorable to such test, as reminder of the importance of preparedness in times of emergency.
 A high army official recently directed pertinent criticism against clerical pacif- ists who have attempted to dissuade church members from participating in the defense day program with the conten- tion that it makes for war which is un- christian. On the contrary, prepared ness, when limited to defense, makes against war. Nations hesitate to attack those which are prepared to defend them selves. Certainly the experience of America in the World War should have impressed every American citizen with that fact
 The attitude that it is unchristian to defend ones country against outside att Hacks is wholly untenable. Patriotism is a Christian virtue. It is taught in the Sunday-schools, and it is a part of pa- triotism to defend the nations flag against outside invasion or injustice. Un- til every nation is ready to observe the rights of every other nation, prepared ness to defend ones country against out side aggression tends to peace; impotence in this respect tends to war.

BIRMINGHAM WILL PROFIT

Says MT. Aubrey Thomas, manufac-
 turer of Jenifer: q do not share the :. hopeful view of many persons, whose opinion would not lightly pass by, that s4 the heralded Pittsburg plus decision will ;iaaffect this district. Frankly l do not see -a how the federal commission can enforce
 the order issued, and believe the Steel
 Corporation will fight the order to the ss last ditch" It may very we'll be that
 the commission cannot, under present
 law, enforce it's order. But the organ
 ized protest against the burdensome prac- ~ytlce will soon see to it that laws are '. T.apassed which will make the order possi- ;syble of enforcement. The Steel Corpora 3-stion would do we'll not to resist, lest, in =" the present temper of the public mind, 1 laws more drastic than are necessary = might be enacted.
 MT. Thomas is not felicitous when he
 remarks: "The iron-makers and steel ss, makers of this country must have point psof price basis, and while the theory is complicated to a layman, do not be- lieve that any power can remedy the sit T nation." There is where many who are ..s not laymen differ with Mir. Thomas, and
 where the layman also gets his back
 up at the insinuation that he cannot un- Understand the injustice of making the cen s@ter of high production costs the passing h@spoint, nor of making the consumer pay
 both an actual and a "phantom freight"
 cost to maintain this artificial base. The
 passing point should be that center which nS1 produces steel or iron at low average ~ cost. When MT. Thomas says that he " does not believe Birmingham will profit 10 the extent many have suggested" he
 does not perhaps take into account that :. Birmingham, because of it's uniform low -Ssprice of production, is just the center ..2e1hat should profit, when, ultimately, the soorder is enforced, as it will be.

A PROFITABLE SCHOOL

A highly encouraging record was made by the vocational agricultural school at Arab, Alabama, on Brindlee Mountain, which illustrates the practical value of such schools when conducted along the right lines. The school turned in a net mrofit of four thousand dollars from the efforts of the students in the all-day classes and the farmers who attended the evening classes under the supervision of the teacher during the first year end ing June 30. It is expected to do equally as well or better in the future. It is said that the investment of the Marshall county board of education at Arab, CO., operating with the state and federal au- thorities, paid the largest dividends of any school in the county, or probably in the state. The profits of the students were double the salary of the teacher. Projects were undertaken by the boys in field and garden crops, while the farmers cultivated larger acreages. All were re- quired to keep accurate records of their work and expenses.
 Aside from the direct profits received from the operations of this school, the returns from the training and experi- mental benefits were much more valu- able. The scientific knowledge imparted to young anu olu dIIhe Will pear II ulC III years to come. In addition to directing improved methods of modern farming op- erations, the vocational teacher at Arab terraced more than one thousand acres of land for more than twenty-five farm CTS, treated many sick animals, con- ducted a community fair, gave advice on many farming problems and induced fifty per cent. of the farmers of that community to mix their own fertilizers by means of which thousands of dollars were saved.
 The school at Arab set an example which might we'll be emulated elsewhere. "We believe that this story of progress can be matched in any community in north Alabama where the people are will ing to cooperate" says the Gadsden Times. Certainly the farmers around

Tine Devoe- -Raynolds company, known Tor 14O years in New York as manufacturers ot paints has been purchased by sixteen of its emnloyes. This is another example of the wide extension of the principle of employees ownership. In text books on economics this is called cooperative ownership. Many author ities think that the ultimate goal of society lies not in socialism or government owner ship of industries, but in this kind of CO., operative ownership which provides a larger incentive to economy and efficiency than gov ernment ownership.

By PIERRE VAN PAssEN

|DARON MAURICE DE ROTHSCHILDT, ID scion of the famous French banking
 house, who was elected to the French chamber at the last election, may lose his seat,, according, to forecast in radical French newspapers. A parliamentary inquiry on the barons election campaign methods has been started, and it has been brought out that he promised to his electors better roads, new cabins for the Alpine shepherds and bulls and stallions to improve local herds. In one small town he was told on his tour that the fire department was in need of uniforms He do- mated 2,500 francs, but when informed that 5000 francs would be needed, he advised the authorities to let the firemen do without uni form trousers for economys sake. In another locality he was told an aged and highly re- spected member of the community had died, but that the man had been in such poor cir cumstances that he was to be buried in a soft wooden coffin, The baron handed the mayor 800 francs for better casket. That everything had not been "comme il faut' in the 'baron's election. was first brought out on the floor of the chamber of deputies when Baron Maurice attended session lately
 When he took his seat there was a commo- tion and shouts of There is the baron coffin buyer" followed by the threat: Just wait, we'll get a political corpse for his coffin.''

ceived the endorsement of the health de- partment or whether 1t is open to sus- picion.
 It is recalled that within recent weeks some typhoid cases which broke out here were traced to dairy which had in its employ one or two men who were "car- riers." The situation was cleaned up and the disease disappeared. Similarly all families expose themselves to danger of disease when they buy of dealers who do not conform to the health requirements. This is not matter that, in the last re- sort, the courts can settle. Even should there be reduction in the requirements, the health department would still grade the milk, and the people can make their choice accordingly. But there should be no letting down of the bars against dis ease.

Forum Of The People
Wa Must Unhold Our Law

To the Editor of The Herald:
 The writer has just read in Tuesdays issue of your paper Attorney Darrow's speech in defense of Nathan F. Leopold and Richard Loeb. Mir. Darrow says that he is pleading for the overcoming of cruelty with kindness. He claims that mercy is the highest attribute of man. I ask here "Is man more merciful than God?" Did not God refuse to change His own law in the Garden of Eden to save Adam when he had broken it? And had He changed His law Adam would have never respected any other law that He had made. God bowed | to His own law and refused to redeem His own Son in the Garden of Gethsemane when He sweated, as it were, drops of blood. We are told in Holy Writ that His suffering was so great that God sent an angel to support Him. So we see here that God upholds His law regardless of mercy. This world is con- trolled by Gods laws-the sun is obedient to His law, the moons wax and wane in obe- dience to His law, the stars hang out in space, the earth turns on it's axis in obedience to His law, and they will stand unchanged till time is no more.
 Gods word is His law-and though heaven and earth should pass away, not one jot or title of His word shall fail.
 We cannot expect to check the wave of crime sweeping over our country unless we uphold our law. Regardless of personal pred Elections, personal sympathy, or any otner cause. When we set aside these laws of our country for any of these reasons we are en- couraging anarchy. When we re-elect men who have been impeached to hold office, or who have committed criminal acts we are dragging the law down to the low level of the criminal and such men when placed in office will throw open the gates of our penitentiaries and turn loose upon us criminals who have violated the law and will be more bold to do so in the future. Any one can see that such acts will destroy civilization.
 There are entirely too many frivolous ex- cuses put up for the criminal Unless our laws are enforced and carried out to the let ter and criminals brought to justice for the crimes that they are committing all over the land and country we may expect crime to continue and increase. When we change the law to save those who break it we need not expect anyone to respect the law-,and we have no right to expect them to do so REV. A. A. POINDEXTER.
 Birmingham, Ala, August 26, 1924.
