never raised his voice to do 1t either,
only his eye and the gavel. And So
when they were quiet, he said: The
question is: Shall the house concur

The house tried to break away

anxiously along IN her Mapping skirts
beside her tall and somber husband.
She had never been away from home
before. and the boys had many laugh
over her wonder at the trolley-cars
purring along under the maple trees,
and her fears of the elevators in the
state house-though, for my part,
could see nothing ludicrous in it all.
She stayed three or four days and
they went everywhere, out to Oak
Ridge to see Lincoln's tomb, over to
Eighth Street to visit his old home
where the moth-eaten stuffed animals
are. and out to Camp Lincoln. They
took many trolley rides, and even
climbed to the top of the state house
dome, whence, they say, you can
see Rochester and the prairies for
thirty miles around. He brought her
over to the house one or two morn
ings, but not on to the floor as other
members did their over-dressed wives;
he sent her up to the gallery, where
she sat peering down over che railing
at the gang-and her husband, who
took no part in all that was going on.
The old woman's interest In all
these new things that had come into
her starved life, her ill-concealed
pride in her husbands membership
in such a distinguished body of law
givers, were touching to me, and as |

to do something to tighten their lives

Here long row of women with man
or two crouches on the very brink;
and a Brahmin priest, naked but for
loin cloth, passes from one to another
and gives them the sacred mark. They
put the water of the river on his feet
and kiss them; then they drink the
water which has touched him from
their hands. One woman rises up,
her arms straight above her head, and
makes obeisance. The priest gives
them some directions-mutters his
mantras-and waves his hands in to-
ken of dismissal.
Though It is not easy to distinguish
the ordinary washing and bathing
from the sacred function, there Is
enough of the manifested act Of wor-
ship to give to the scene an air OF
soIemnity. Men and women are mix
ed, but no one regards any one else.
Each is engaged in his own ablution,
physical or spiritual. Here a woman
crouches, splashing the water on her
face and making mystical marks on
forehead and breast. Here a man
stands in the water. revolving and
folding his hands together each time
in his revolution as he faces the sun.
Here is another man in a red cloak
standing up to his waist and mutter-
ing with a whirring sound. There he
stands daily from 3 a. m. to noon,
and has done so for nine years. His
eyes are bieared with the sun, all ex-
preston has left his face. He is like
a mechanism Of devotion.
In another place young men, NUT.
tering their prayers, plunge into the
stream and return to their little
matted platforms. There must be
three dips to accomplish the necessary
purgation. AS the bathers return
through the narrow street they shrink
from contact with the passerby, for II
they touch they must return and re-
peat their washing.

like a numbness through the body;
stiller than it had been any time since
nine o'clock that morning, when they
had paused for the chaplain to say
his prayer. The gang turned around
and stood motionless, painting, in its
shirt-sleeves, as though a fashlight
photograph were to be taken. Half
way down the aisle stood Hill. You
know how he would look at such a
time, in his long black coat, his wide
white shirt bosom with the big dia-
mond, his rolling collar and black
string tie, and his long black hair fall
ing to his shoulders. You know how
he would love such moment-and 1t
was his last chance that session. He
stood there quietly whole minute,
and then putting foot forward, said

URGE commission
FOR PENAL REFORM
Senator Foster Would Have Other
Systems Studied Before Ef-
fecting Changes.

Senator a. H. Foster, Of the Twen-
ty- seventh District who will intro
duce in the Senate a resolution Gre
ating a special commission to con-
slider proposed improvements in the
State prison system and Criminal
Court procedure. has given an inter
view expressing. as he sees it. the
urgent necessity for such action.
The plan Is to submit to this COM
mission the proposed legislation deal
ing with penal and Criminal Court
reforms. in order that practical and
correlated action. may be taken.
Says Senator Foster:
Some Of our most important leg
islation Is the product OF this COM
mission method. A striking Instance
IL what the Insurance Commission
has recently accomplished. Two years
ago, when the commission was ap-
pointed, Georgia's insurance laws
were a mere patchwork. As the re-
suit OF the commissions work Geor-
gia now has q splendid set OF insur-
ance laws, which are considered a
model Of their kind and which are
attracting favorable attention all over
the country.
Il believe that this commission will
meet the approval of the Legislature
and Endorsement OF the public. No
matter what a mans individual views
may be on the penal question, he
should favor this commission, for it
is created for the purpose of Sitting
out and discovering what views and
what methods are best. There is
nothing maudlin or sentimental about
tho proposition.
THE proposed changes will not
only make the law more ienient to-
ward first offenders and others whom
lenIency and kindness can help. but
It will also strengthen and make
stricter the laws dealing with habit
ual and dangerous criminals"
