The change in moral conditions in
1 moral conditions in Texas has been
| quite marked as in other respects,
says w. h. Curtis I'm the Record
| Herald. Texas has always been look
| ed upon as a community of despera-
does in certain parts of the country.
and we are all familiar with the pop
ular adage that such or such a thing
is needed as much as revolver in
| Texas. Whereas, there is a law in
/ Texas prohibiting people from carry
! ing revolvers, and it is enforced
strictly in more than three fourths of
| the counties of the state, according to
| the disposition of the police and the
| prosecuting officers In most of the
| counties it will cost any man $4S in
! fines and penalties to tote a pistol -
in others the fine is 800 with 80 days
/ Imprisonment added for "a second Of
| fense.
Bowie knives, slung shots, brass
| knuckles and all other similar wea-
| pons are also prohibited under equal
/ ly severe penalties. You will remem-
bered reading about a Texas custom
| of having revolvers checked at the
theaters and how every man was
compelled to leave his gun with the
attendants before he was allowed to
enter n ball room.
That custom still prevails in certain
! places on the frontier where people
/ think it is necessary to carry arms
for self-defense. At the same time
the law requires that they shall be
discarded when the owner comes to
| town, and people who carry them are
not arrested or fined provided they
obey these regulations.
There is no more Shooting up the
town in Texas. Hold-ups are un-
known. People do not carry money
any more as they did formerly. There
are as many blue laws" i'm Texas as
in any other state In the Union. IL not
more.
There is a law prohibiting card
| playing, except in private houses, and
| even then IT must not be habitual or
for stake. II is unlawful for any
| householder to have u room for that
| purpose. This law is strictly enforc-
ed in 80 per cent of the counties of
| Texas
Not so long ago an entire theatrical
company was arrested and the MEM
bers fined $25 each for playing cards
in their private car on the railway
