VT BILL PASSES SENATE ONLY AWAITS SIGNATURE OF GOVER0R TO BECOME A LAW. Sweeping in Its Provisions and Pro vides for Immediate Suppression of Future Dealing Institutions. Dispatches from Jackson this morn ing are to the enect What ia known as the "Boddie Bill" passed the senate to-day by a practically unanimous vote. It had previously passed the house and now only awaits the signature of the gov ernor to become a law. This bill most effectually sounds the death knoll to "bucket shops." It is sweeping in its provisions, and provides for the immediate suppres sion of the institutions.

The commit tee had recommended a substitute for the bill Contained a provision allowing persons, members of a regu larly constituted exchange, to operate such provided its business con templated the actual delivery of commodities dealt in, but this was killed and the original bill passed. The only amendment to the origi nal bill adopted provides that this act shall pot be construed so as to render unlawful the establishment and conduct by any person, firm or corporation of a commercial exchange, by whatever named called, for. the bona fide purpose of receiving by wire and posting and transmitting to others the market quotations of prices of cot ton, commodities, stocks, bonds and securities; provided, no purchases or sales for fature delivery on margins are permitted, and if any such ex change shall, permit the making or negotiation of contracts declared unlawful by this act or shall allow such contracts to be negotiated i or effected over the wire owned or used by it, or to done directly or indirectlj by any of its officers, members, employes or agents -or -to be don ou the jpcemiaos-i used by such exchange, its officers and employes shall be guilty, of a misde meanor, and, on conviction, such ex change or its officers, agents and employes violating his act, shall each be fined not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, and in addition such exchange shall, if a corporation, forthwith for feit its charter and its right to do basiness in this statu, and by appropriate proceedings may be with its officers enjoined therefrom. PROHIBITION FIGHT. To-day has been set apart for the consideration in the senate of the state prohibition bill, which unanimously passed the house a few days ago, and the indications are that it will have no great opposition in that body.

A bill has been introduced in the house by Hon. B. M. (jainn, which has for its purpose the enactment ot a measure regulating tne holding of pri mary elections for nominating judges, just as the United States senators are nominated now, and then allow the governor to appoint the ones that the people nominate. This would be practically the same as electing judges, and would do away with an amend ment to the constitution to make the judiciary elective.

They drewn their personality by diving into heaps of routine work; they go round ana round like the machines beside them, until they are but mechanisms of blood and bone, afraid to break away, afraid to ask themselves why they are doing this and that detail.

They go because they are afraid to stop. Mind, not mere motion makes men, But, worst of all, the young man who is afraid of himself hampers the good work that others might do.
