FOR DECREASE OF CRIME.

Great emphasis is being placed upon
the Importance of a new law recent
ly passed in Indiana to provide for
the sterilization of confirmed crimi-
nails, IDIOTS, imbeciles and rapists.
Indiana now proposes to surround
convicts with healthful sanitary con-
ditions.
1t is proposed to:
Give them suitable employment
while in prison, so that they will be
able to do honest labor when liberia
ted. No state has the right to make
money out of it's prisoners; it is not
a question of money, but question
of character. Let them earn the cost
of their support, but no profit should
be taken by the State from their la
bor
Environ them with such influences
that they will not have a grudge
against society when liberated.
Divorce prisoners from practical
politics Stand upon principles of
religion and common sense.
Convert the convict by education
to higher type of citizen, that being
more important than his punish
ment.
Extension of parole and probation
system. No offender should be parol-
ed without proper attention by sure
ties. To parole Unfortunately with
out carefully following up the cases
makes the law little more than a
farce
Keep the criminal in prison as long
as he is a menace to the community,
if necessary for the term of his nat
ural life
When the indeterminate sentence
is adopted there comes an end to the
administration of law whereby one
person is sent from one county for
one year and another person from
an adjoining county for ten years for
the same offense

CUBAN HAS BEEN
DEPORTED TO HAVANA
Garcia Was Brought In To
Test Law.

NEW ORLEANS, October 10
Especial -Geronimo Garcia, the
young Cuban, whose case before the
immigration authorities has attract
ed attention all over the country, was
put aboard the steamship Excelsior
yesterday for deportation to Havana
Garcia is the immigrant who con-
sented to put himself in the hands
of louisiana State authorities for the
purpose of testing the law concern
ing the right of State governments to
encourage immigrants to this coun-
try.
Saturday an adverse decision in
his case was received from Wash
ington, and Garcia was Immediately
locked up.
His deportation seems to settle the
important question of whether a
state has the right to assist immi-
grafton to the extent of paying the
fares of immigrants. Several Sou
thern States followed Garcia's case
very closely.

UNDERWRITING OUR PROSPERITY

The Presidents spectacular trip
down the Mississippi valley has di-
verted attention from the less orna-
mental but probably far more useful
trip of Sect. Root in Mexico. The
Presidents trip has merely afforded
him a setting in which to repeat his
often expressed view on control of
corporations and punishment of
wrong-doers. No really practical good

Their stimulating our trade with that
progressive Republic. AS the Phila-
delphia North-American says:
Men whose minds are broad see that
only one cause of general distress
can exist in this country, SO richly
blessed in it's productiveness. That
evil is overproduction.
NO American is impoverished I'M
til markets for what we produce are
glutted. The moment that happens

Every check on the worldwide dis
tribution of the products of this
greatest of producing countries is
a direct blow at the welfare of ev-
cry wage worker in America, as well
as at every investor in an american
security. Every new avenue opened
for the distribution of our products
is a help to every farmer, clerk and
mill-hand.
Therefore we honor the work OF
Elihu Root. He is our best maker

ional prosperity, just as the men who
are the pride of Wall street under

WHY THE MIDDLEMAN?

That the time is now ripe for the
cutting out of the middlemen in hand
ling the cotton crop is the opinion
of the spinners who have been in
attendance on the conference of the
five organizations represented at the
Atlanta meeting The Spectator was
condemned by the growers, while the
spinners seemed to consider him
necessary evil.
AS pointed out by Savannah cot
ton men, the cutting out of the broker
and factor would mean the building
of numerous warehouses in the in
terror and the forming of endless
companies to carry on the warehouse
business. 1t would only be replac-
ing one set of skilled men by fully
as large a force of men, leaving the
gap between the spinner and the pro-
Queer still partially unbridged. Other
considerations would also enter into
any such a change in the methods of
marketing cotton which would tend
to still further weaken the attempt
to eliminate the middleman.
Both shippers and producers are
anxious to get in closer touch each
with the other, built will require years
of experiment to devise a workable
system Perhaps at some time in the
future spinners and growers can get
on a sufficiently friendly footing, with
sufficient mutual trust, to agree on
a minimum price for cotton at the
beginning of the season, with a pos
sible refund based on the size of the
ultimate yield. Given a crop of say
100000 bales, a committee repre-
senting producers and spinners might
get together on what was considered
fair price A. smaller outturn would,
under the system suggested, mean that
those who had sold early in the sea-
son would be entitled to a further
addition to what they had already re-
ceived.
Among the permanent achievements
of the recent conference will be an
improvement in the methods of bal
ing cotton, the growers having been
shown that such a course will be
money in their pockets.

YOUNG WOMEN
CARRY CANES

NEW YORK, October 10.-(SpeciaD
Canes and swagger sticks for young
women are the latest fad. Several of
the feminine opponents of the idea
were seen today in Fifth avenue
carrying slender canes, which they
fourished ever so lightly and touched
from time to time upon the pave
ment as though to assist them in their
steps. The new walking sticks are
not more than half an inch in dame
ter, well polished and without much
adornment Some of them have a
little band of sterling silver on the
end of the right angled handle. One
of the latest is of partridge wood
from South America.

Americas is not alone in her mill
tary troubles. Savannah, the chief
military point in Georgia ever since
Oglethorpe landed, must get practi-
cally a thousand new recruits to get
its forces up to the required mimi
mum strength. Perhaps it would have
been better to have looked into that
Dick bill a little more closely. 1t
would be a pity to have our Georgia
companies all disbanding. The men
do not take kindly to considerable of
the features of the new law. AS the
Savannah Press says: "a distinc-
tive uniform created a feeling of
company pride that did much to
stimulate the men" They now feel
that they are simply unknown units
in a vast machine.

FAMINE POSSIBLE
in ANTHRACITE.
Causes Which Tend to Such
an EventudIity.

HAZLETON PA, October 10.-If
there is an anthracite coal famine in
New York, Philadelphia and the rest
of the country the coming winter it
will be due to these causes: The late
spring, the general prosperity of the
United States, increase in population.
the drought in some sections of the
hard coal belt and the shortage of
labor
One of the reasons the companies
have not been able to store much
coal this summer, when the storage
yards are usually filled in anticipa-
ton of the winter demand, is the pro
tracted cold spell last spring. Fires
we're burned this year as late as
May. In ordinary years the use of
coal for heating purposes is discon-
tinued during the latter part of March
or the middle of April, taking the
country as a whole. Instead of a
drop in the demand for the supply
at the beginning of the summer, the
companies were kept busy filling or
ders far later in the season than
is usually the case. The amount of
coal in storage was reduced absolute
ly to the minimum.
In view of the constantly increas-
ing production, the miners do not
see where there is prospect of a
famine, unless the country has grown
so fast and industries have multiplied
so rapidly that the demand exceeds
the supply,
The operators say that they would
not be behind so much in filling or
ders if the miners only worked stead
lily, They declare that when man
is killed the entire mine is suspended
on the day of his funeral Then there
are Church holy days the men do
not report for work There are many
of these days, outside of the regular
American holidays, which the min
ers observe, and the operators state
that in year these periodical sus-
pensions mean more than is appa-
rent on the surface,

PETERS SCORES COCKTAIL CRIT
les.

Rev. Madison c. Peters roundly
scores the critics of Vice-President
Fairbanks for their interference with
personal liberty.
The New York clergyman, who is
as virile in his comments as he is
sensational does not mince words.
In his last sermon on why the
Church Has Lost Her Hold on the
People," he said:
"All men resent interference with
personal liberty. When fanat1cal
men of strait-laced views undertake
to dictate to broad-minded men OF
liberal views and attempt to guide
them in the narrow path OF their
own stunted natures, as to their prl-
vate business and personal relations
with the world-When the Church
does this, she strikes at the founda-
ton not only of personal liberty, but
interferes with what does not con-
Germ her in the least.
"Churchly interference in private
life has recently been emphasized in
the matter of ce-President Fair
banks luncheon to President Roose-
welt, where the serving of a cocktail
has been made by the churches of the
Middle West political issue.
IF Mr. Fairbanks deemed it prop
er to serve cocktails in the privacy
of his own home that was his own af-
fair, and he acted entirely within the
jurisdiction of a freeborn American.
Mr. Fairbanks has been savagely
attacked in hundreds of sermons, all
of them lacking that Christian char
ity which, though supposed to cover
a multitude of sins, as practiced by
these men is not large enough to COW
er a single cocktail And the Church
to which he has given lifetime Of
service and support, after a most bit
ter campaign, defeated him as lay
delegate to the General Convention.
"Of course Mr. Fairbanks happens
to be a real Christian gentleman,
broadminded enough to overlook the
pettiness of small-minded men, yet
who could blame him if he kept out
of the church for the future? While
those ministers who have denounced
Mr.. Fairbanks may represent the
spirit of the church, the Vice-Presi-
dent knows full we'll that they are
not the true opponents of the teach
ings of Jesus"

Lieut.. Gen. Corbin, now retired.
does not agree with the President in
the latters campaign for an extension
of federal powers to take care of the
the people. Gen. Corbin says: THE
growing disposition to look to the
Government for relief is harmful and
should be arrested. Looking too
much to the Government at Washing
ton, however able and willing that
Government may be, is enervating and
enfeebles the body polite. The peo-
pie are abundantly able at all times
to care for themselves and by their
own intelligence conduct their af-
fairs"

because more care has been taken

say it is because they are put up in
