citizen, embodied in the organic law, and intended to be forever inviolate against legislative trespass and encroachment. You should not forget that in those three elections the people have5 expressed their condemnation of that spirit of rad realism which has retarded our prosper ity, checked investments, and made per sonal property rights insecure.
 Your election was an imperative de- rnand that the platform of the party you represent should be observed. It's dec latations constituted a contract between you and the people, a violation of which will receive and deserve their stern con- demnation
 Your election, as well as mine, was clear, positive and unambiguous mandate by the people for the restoration of that spirit of moderation and conservatism under whose inspiring influence Ala bama will confidently and triumphantly advance to the great future that awaits Ter.
 By the express terms of section 123 Of the constitution it is made the duty of the governor from time to time to give to the legislature information of the state of the government, and to recommend for it's consideration such measures as he may deem expedient." This is also followed by the requirement. that the governor shall at the commencement of each regular session of the legisla ture give information by written message of the condition of the state. This latter duty has already been performed by my distinguished predecessor at the com mencemept of this session. The ineom ing governor was not clothed with the duties of office at the commencement of the regular of the legislature, nor had he official access to those sources of inforoation which would en- able him to properly perform that duty. I do not understand that the constitu- tion-makers contemplated the duplication of the same labor. I shall, therefore. content myself with giving you such information of the state of the govern ment and recommending for your con- sideration such measures as I may deem eSpedient,

Under the Fuller law, prosecutions could be commenced by affidavit, and
 when one was begun the right to de- mand an indictment by grand jury was
 denied. If the prosecution was begun in court where jury trials were pro- vided, demand for trial by jury must be made within five days after bond was givon, and if no bond was given, then
 within five days after arrest. If no jury trial was demanded in accordance with the provisions of the statute the right was waived. If the prosecution was | commenced in court where a jury l trial was not provided. the law required l the trial to proceed, even where a jury was demanded. The constitution de- clares that the right of trial by jury
 shall be inviolata and even though this provision of tn, @uller law has been
 declared constitsN&onal by divided court, 1t is unqr-stionably danger ous departure froA,, the purpose and in- itent of the constitution and the spirit of our institutions If it is within the power of the leGtsT+ture to deny jury

THE TRUTH.
1t never rains but what it pours
And yet the sun doe'th shine:
This gay big world. this wicked big
world
Is still friend of mine.
Readable, this globe is great litera-
ture,
AS warrior, it holds its own
And it's mighty man. fighting man
That can conquer it all by his lone
This circle is inhabited with many
people,
Some are strong and others weak
And there are many languages
That very few of us can speak.
Our colors are like mixed flowers:
Black and white, red and brown and
yellow, too,
So why not make the best of flowers
This world belongs to you, too.

IAN INSULT TO
AMERICA WOMEN
So a Missionary Worker
Characterized Tafts Salt
Lake City Visit

A vigorous condemnation Of
President Taft for ''patting the
Mormons on the back" was deliv-
cred yesterday morning in the
Linwood Methodist Episcopal
Church by Mrs. May Leonard
Woodruff of Lexington, N. j., a
vice.president of the Woman's
Home Missionary Society. She
spoke at the university of the
foundation of the Women's Home
Missionary Society of the church.
She prefaced her remarks con-
corning President Taft and his
friendliness with the Mormon
Church by expressing her admira-
ton for the President as a states
man and an executive. Then she
launched into her condemnation of
his recent visit to the home of the
Mormon Church.
"On his recent swing around
the country" she began, "Presi-
dent Taft thought it incumbent on
him to pay a visit to Salt Lake
City, the recognized stronghold of
this country of Mormonism. AS
a matter of course the president
was honored at the Utah metropo-
lis. But it was not necessary that
he should be driven through the
streets seated in the same carriage
with Joseph Smith, president of
the Norman Church. Even that
could be overlooked, had not Pres
ident Smiths illegal method of
living been paraded with the chief
executive of the United States.
I'm the carriage following the
one in which President Smith and
President Taft rode, were seated
three wives and five children Of
Smith, each of the three wives
having been married since the So
called Manifesto of 1890, in which
the Mormon Church represented
to have renounced polygamy.
This action of President Taft
was an insult to the American
home, an insult to American wo-
manhood. By his action IN Salt
Lake City it looked as if the Pres
ident of the United States was
countenancing plural marriage and
polygamy." Mrs. Woodward ad-
dressed a congregation of FIVE
hundred.
