THE STODDARD CHARGES.


Democratic papers are flocking to
the support of Secretary Stoddard in
the hour of his trial and tribulation.
This is natural, and is expected as Stod-
dard has always smiled on the demo-
cratic press, and while posing as a re-
publican has always given aid and
comfort to the enemy whenever Oppor-
tunIty offered.
One of the excuses offered in his be
half is to the effect that the parties
bringing the charges are irresponsible.
This excuse originated with Stoddard
himself and is being echoed by bis
democratic friends. Without entering
into the discussion of the standing OF
the party or parties bringing the
charges, the question to be discussed
is, are they true?
Did Stoddard make false report to
the governor or the legislature, in re-
gard to the fees of the secretary
Office, and then to prevent the truth
from being found out, did he destroy
the fee books? The answer to this
question is of far more Importance
than is the question who preferred the
charge.
Did Stoddard maintain a barroom
in the capital building where liquor
was served free to all who would
vote against the Cowan bill? If be
did and it is proven beyond a reason
able doubt that he did what matters
it, who made the charge?
Did Stoddard by corrupt means, anC
by the use of money influence mem
bers to vote against the Cowan bill?
These are a few of the things he il
charged with. They we're openl!
talked of during the session. In re
gard to the fee report which he mad,
out, an investigating committee re
ported that it was false. The fee
taken in since, when the business o
the Office has been no greater, if a
great as during the period covered b!
the report, indicate the falsity of tn
report. Stoddard himself. if we ar
not mistaken, admitted destroying tn
fee book.
1t is claimed that Secretary Hitch
cock is willing to condone all thes
corrupt and illegal acts and continu
= -
Miner cannot believe such a story o
any one connected with the admins
tration, provided the charges ar
proven. If Stoddard retains his posi-
ton it will be because the charges ar
not substantiated, rather than through
political influence, else all the incen
tive for honesty in official position
will be swept away.

The Federation of Labor is chuck

And yet, somehow, strikes that close

works employed 1000 men and paid
out 81, 200, 600 year in wages. Now

TERRIBLE ARRANGEMENT.

The press recently contained meager
accounts of atrocities committed on
negroes in a certain county in Texas,
which almost equsled those which
have been committed recently in Tur-
key and Macedonia. 1t was also assert
ed that reports concerning them we're
carefully suppressed. They we're COM
mitted in Rusk county and as an evil
dence that they are neither condoned
OF approved of by the better element
of the community, the Henderson
Times, published at the county seat
of Rusk county by r. T. Miner, a
former speaker of the Texas house of
representatives and who is one of the
democratic leaders of the state, says:
Several weeks ago there was kindled
in this city a spirit of lawlessness
that has eliminated in some ;of the
most atrOcious crimes ever commit
ted by white men in any country in
any age of which history gives any
account. Indeed, to find a parallel
for these crimes we must get beneath
every ray of the dark ages, when
Romans threw their fellow men to
dens of ferocious beasts to see their
flesh devoured The first of it was the
whipping of few trifling negroes here
about town and warming them that they
must go to work and thus make them
selves useful. The example served
as an excuse to wreak vengeance
upon negroes in various portions of
the county, first in cases where a
grievance existed and finally growing
into furious passion to inflict upon
harmless and helpless negroes punish
ment and death in a manner so hor-
rible as to reflect the savagery of the
barbarous and bloodthirsty ages of
the long past. OF how Jesse Franklin
and Jim Philips, two negroes living
in the Bunker Hill community, were
whipped, fingered, and finally died,
we shall not attempt to detail in
these columns. Humanity, civiliza-
ton and Christianity have been in
vaded as never before in the history of
the county, and all that promotes and
fosters organized society has been set
at defiance. The condition now con-
fonting us is one that can not fail to
elicit from every good citizen an ex-
preston of condemnation. In ODE
dience to the monitions of conscience
and unawed by the power of the mob,
and acting from the highest impulse
of which nature is susceptible, it be-
hooves every man at this time who
loves his home, his country and his
life to raise to the fullest demands of
the hour and see to it that this shame
shall cease"

THE ATHLETIC CLUB.

The Athletic Club has not come De-
fore the public a great deal for some
time, but its work is progressing fav-
orably.
1t is not generally realized what are
the possibilities for good to the young
people of the town from a good gym
nasium with competent instruction.
1t is we'll known that every hour of
healthful activity that can be offered
to the young is en- aDtidote again -
many hours of barn:fal moral i'll
fluences, as we'll a dist ct gain in
physical and mental character.
In town as deficient in healthful,
clean entertainment as Prescott, the
benefit to the public from the main
teinance of a we'll equipped place for
exercise and bathing is beyond COM
putation.
There are 500 boys and girls in Pres
colt to whom physical instruction for
two hours a week would mean bet
ter life, a larger future and less drug
bills. There are over three hundred
men in Prescott to whom it would
mean a superior equipment for, and a
larger success in the strenuous life of
business. There are two hundred
women in Prescott who could be
stronger women, better mothers and
wives and a little more than equal,
instead of just behind the demands of
life.
The club is maintaining an institu-
ton of signal public value, one that
might be pointed to with pride by
our citizens, but one that is not half
appreciated or supported.
Every business man in town should
be a member, for the sake of the pub
lie good, if not for his own benefit.
The policy of the club is committed
to the promotion of clean amateur
sports of all sorts and its management
commands respect and confidence.
Decency of behavior and language are
insisted upon in the club rooms.
The quarters of the club are hand
somely fitted up with every necessary
appliance for physical culture, with
lockers and with shower and tub baths
with hot ard cold water.
These facilities, together with the
services of a thoroughly competent
instructor are free of charge of every
member, except for monthly fee so
small, IN view of the advantages offer
ed as to appear ridiculous.
The club needs more members and
more money to carry out its work and
public spirited men and women are
appealed to for cooperation.
