Georgia have already prohibited them
from doing business within their
boundaries. and we owe it to ourselves
and to the good name Of the state that
we follow the example so worthily
set us. We now have on our statute
books an act declaring 'tmlawrul
contracts for the sale of articles for
future delivery, made under certain
circumstances, etc. . -,
Let us now follow this up with an
act prohibiting any bucket shop or
cotton or stock exchange or any other
exchange of like character from doing
business in fhis state.
Assault, Etc.
[ further wish to call your atten-
tion to another matter which I con-
slider of grave Importance at this par
ticular time in our history, and that is
the enactment of law providing the
death penalty to any male person
making an assault upon a female
with intent to ravish, granting the
right to the jury trying the ease to
fix the punishment at life imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary if in
their judgement the facts warrant a
punishment less than death.
In this day when We read of so
many assaults of this character being
made, it behooves us to wake up to
the situation and make the penalty so
severe that the women of this state
may be protected from this hcinous
crime and the perpetrators punished
so severely that all will be deferred
from committing the same.
[ further recomemnd that an act
be passed providing that in all cases
of rape or assault with intent to raw
ish, the female may be allowed to tes-
tify in private, before the judge, in
the presence of the counsel for the
state and defendant and the defend
at himself, and that the testimony so
taken shall be read to the jury as the
evidence of the said witness on the
trial Of the case. This is the law in
at least one if not more of the states
Of the Union, and should be the law in
this state.
In this connection, I think it i'm
portant also to ask that you pass an
act making it a misdemeanor to post
or display in any public place or on
any street or highway indecent pic
lures of females. It is an evil that
has been growing in the last few
years, and one that calls for action on
our part. 1t is not necessary for me
to call to your attention the reasons
why this act should be passed; it is
obvious to all right thinking persons.

A Court of Rehabilitation.

Roland d. Molineux, the well-known
New Yorker who was acquitted of the
charge OF murder in the first degree after
having occupied the death house at Sing
Sing, has written for Charities and the
Commons an article advocating a new
kind of court, to be known as the court
of rehabilitation. Mr. Molineux asserts
that no human being, whatsoever his
crime, should be sentenced to a definite
term in prison. He points out that we
spend 81 ,000,000,O00 a year in a fruit
less and farcical contest with crime, or
twice as much as we spend on our works
of religion, charity and education. He
contends that this is due solely to the fact
that we sentence criminals to a definite
punishment. Such Imprisonment, he ar
CUES, is worse than useless and itself a
crime, for the criminal in almost every
case is released a more dangerous menace
than before his Incarceration. 1t is ad-
mitted that the criminal law aims to ben
eft society Mr.. Molineux declares that
it fails in this. He adds that it should
aim to benefit the criminal, and in this it
could succeed.
His first proposition, then, is this That
a criminal court should determine but one
thing, the guilt or innocence of the de-
PENDANT, and that if guilty, whether of
murder or disorderly conduct, the one
and unvarying sentence should be Danish
ment from society. He should be COM
PEELED to remain apart from his fellow
men forever, or until restored to citizen
ship by a court of rehabilitation. He
argues that since it required a judge and
jury to deprive a man of liberty, only by
a judge and jury should he be restored.

Turkey without stufing is an innova-
ton slow to win the approval Of con-
sentative housewives, but it is claimed
by the best authorities on cookery that
turkey, like game, should never be stuffed
if it's finest flavor is to be preserved. Dress
as usual and place large spoonful of
butter upon the breast Put In a very
hot oven for thirty minutes that the out
side may scar over at once and retain
the juice. Diminish the heat and haste
often with the butter and fat that cooks
from the fowl, allowing twenty minutes
cooking to each pound of turkey, not
counting the first half hour. Should it be
necessary to turn the turkey while cooking
use towel. Never stick it with a fork
or allow the juice to escape. Sprinkle
with salt when nearly done.
For the gravy put the gizzard, heart
and liver on the fire in quart of water
and cook until tender; then remove and
chop finely. When the turkey is done,
remove it to the serving dish, pour all but
tablespoon of fat from the pan, add
tablespoonful of -four and cook for
three minutes; then add the water in
which the giblets were cooked, of which
there should be pint. If less, add
water, stir until smooth and add the chop
ped giblets. Serve in gravy boat.

TWO IMPORTANT BILLS.
Senator Beveridge to Introduce One

understood that Senator Beverage will
Introduce the first bill to carry into
effect one Of the recommendations Pres
ident Roosevelt has made several times
in his speeches and which he probably
will repeat in his meSsagea measure
for the taxing of inheritances.
Details of the Indiana Senator's bill
have not been made public and may not
be given out before the eve Of the ses-
sion. It is recognized that such a
measure as this, which is bound to pro-
woke criticism and constitutional argu-
ment. and probably constitutional quib-
blings. must be drawn with every pre-
caution possible.
Senator p J. McCumber of North

out a second of the Presidents recon-
mendations-a bill to provide for the
incorporation. controlled and governed,

interstate commerce"
This McCumber measure provides
that an association for carrying on any
interstate commerce business may be
formed of any number of persons not
fewer than three, and that such persons
shall state in the articles of association
the business it is intended to conduct,
and shall submit the associations name
to the Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor for his approval. The principal
place of business is to be given; the
time it is intended to continue in bust
ness must be stated. and the directors
names and residences must be set forth,
with the amount of capital stock of the
association and the shares into which
it is to be divided.
Once year the business body Ii
censed by the government to carry on
interstate operations shall present a
full statement showing sits gross and
net earnings, all improvements or addi-
tons that have been made, the cost
thereof, the value of its assets, how the
moneys received by it have been ex-
pended and such other information con-
corning the conduct of it's business as
may be required" Provision is made
for the annulment of a license, or, as
it is called in the bill, certificate, y
when the requirements of the law have
not been met. The dissolution of a cor
poration, however, shall not abate any
action which may have been taken
against it. This McCumber bill is the
