CAMPBELL ADMINISTRATION
AND THE PRISON SYSTEM

AS all the world knows, The Eagle
is no great admirer of Governor Col
quit, but it can not withhold from
him the Justice of commentator for
his prison policy The shameful abuses
of the prison management under the
Campbell regime serve as a foil to
bring out all the beauty of Colquitt's
humane measures.-Bryan Eagle.
The above paragraph was clipped
from the Houston Post where it had
been reprinted, and shows how gross
ly Governor Campbell is misrepresent-
ed with reference to the penitentiary
system, and how eagerly everything
that offers the slightest praise for the
present administration and criticism
for Governor Campbell is given pub
licity by certain people.
We hold no commission to defend
Governor Campbell. He needs none at
our hands, for the people of Texas
many of them who had been misled
into criticising and condemning his
administration-are coming to under
stand the wisdom of his policies and
the patriotism actuating his conduct
But we will not sit silent and see him
misrepresented, and the public is en-
titled to the truth about the peniten'
tiary business. The conditions exist
ing in the penitentiary during his ad.
ministration were inherited and had
existed through many administrations
When Governor Campbell's attention
was called to these he promptly recon-
mended to the legislature the appoint
ment of a committee to investigate
and when the committee was appoint
ed Governor Campbell gave it every
assistance and cooperation within his
power. When the committees work
was ended he submitted the matter
of enacting a new law to correct the
abuses found to a special session OF
the legislature, and where is there a
man who will seriously contend that
in it's hurried labors, the present leg
islature would have enacted a new
law? To Governor Colquitt was given
the privilege of naming the commits
sioners and putting the new law into
operation and every real effort on the
part of Governor Colquitt or his ap
pointees to make the reforms contem
plated in the law shall have our warm
est commentator, but we shall as
quickly resent any reflection on the
Campbell administration, for Governor
Campbell did all he could to correct
existing abuses and make it possible
to run the penitentiary system of this
state as it should be run, and he Is
entitled to commentator, not con
domination, for this public service

a meeting here today of the state
committee of the Keystone party. 1t
is alleged that the Keystone party
showed a strength of $4,000 votes in
the recent mayoralty contest in this
city. 1t will probably be determined
to put a third presidential ticket In
the field only in the event that Presi-
dent Taft is renominated by the re-
publicans and Judson Harmon be-
comes the candidate of the democrats.
The keystone leaders declare that
both Taft and Harmon are conserva-
tives, and that progressive party
would have an excellent opportunity
to elect it's candidate in case the two
Ohioans are chosen to lead the old
parties.
The keystone committeeman de-
clare that their movement has been
making such tremendous strides in
Pennsylvania that it would make a
strong nucleus for the third party.
With popular progressive leader OPP
posed against Taft and Harmon, they
allege that they could carry the solid
West and probably Pennsylvania and
several other Eastern states, and pos
sibly break up the solid South.

VALIDATING Deeds.

Inasmuch as Texas has enacted a
law intended to validate defective ac-
acknowledgements to deeds, concerning
the validity and effect of which there
has been much difference Of opinion
and much controversy. it may be of
interest to the legal profession to
know thatIthe supreme court OF Ken
lucky, in Eccles vs.. Wood GA L. R. A.,
1927, holds that the legislature has
the power to validate the acknowl-
edgment of an existing deed which
was taken by proper officer, but was
lacking in certain formal matters re-
quired by statute, so as to render the
deed effectual against the grantor,
without nconstitutionally impairing
the obligation of contract This
ought to be the law If 1t is not.-Hous-
ton Chronicle.

ing the life of those combinations in
restraint of trade. The scene today
in Chicago, where the great captains
of the beef combination are facing a
trial jury in fight for their liberty,
is demonstration of the good faith
and the determination of this admin
istration to enforce the law. The at
torney general echoed the voice of the
nation when he said guilt is personal.
He said that during McKinley's ad-
ministration three prosecutions were
brought for the enforcement of the
antitrust law; forty-four prosecutions
during the seven and half years OF
Roosevelt's administration, and that
during two years and nine months OF
Taft's administration thirty-seven
prosecutions had been brought.
IF the press of the United States
would tell the whole truth about Pres
ident Taft" said the senator in con-
clusion, there would not be enough
democratic votes in the electoral col
lege to make quorum" He said that
if there is any credit to be claimed
or any blame to be imposed for what
has been done so far during Tafts
administration, it belongs to the re-
publican party as well as to the presi.
dent.
"We can not condemn one without
impeaching the other. We can not
praise one without commencing both"
he declared.
Senator Brown paid tributes to for
mer republican presidents, including
Colonel Roosevelt. and referring to a
third term he said that Theodore
Roosevelt never lied to the American
people and when he said he did not
want to be president again he meant
what he said.
Every man who doubts that state
ment now impeaches his integrity.

and means another" concluded the

STATE HEALTH OFFICER
STElNER'S OPINION

Dallas. Texas. Jan. 26.-Mayor w.
NJ. Holland has received a telegram
from DR.. Ralph Steiner, state health
officer, in which he calls especial at
tention to the absurdity of the refusal
of merchandise shipped from affected
points. His wire reads as follows:
wv. NJ. Holland, Mayor, Dallas,
Texas.-The state board of health
while advising quarantine o. indiyid-
ual cases meningitis, regards general
quarantine unnecessary. quarantine
against merchandise is absolutely alb
surd. Have repeatedly expressed these
views to the press" Signed lir1
Ralph Steiner.
DR.. Seiner returned to Austin Mon
day night, after having gone over the
situation in Dallas very thoroughly,
and expressed himself as being much
pleased with the improving conditions
of the state generally, and Dallas es-
peeially. While in Dallas Monday DR..
Steiner issued the following state
ment:
Il wish to urge upon city and coun-
ty officers all over Texas to enforce
strictly the. regulations against spit
ting in public places. Where cuspidors
are located they should be partly
filed with antiseptic solution to kill
germs. When persons are found to
have come in contact with the dis.
ease other doctors should advise the
authorities and give special instruc'
lions to patients and their families.
"Tn few days the state board Of
health will issue a special circular to
physicians and health officers and all
of them will be urged, when cases OF
contact are found, to submit slides OF
the secretions to the state bacteriolo
gist at Austin for examination. Quar-
antines by small towns are ineffective
and injurious and are to be discour
aged.
81 am pleased with the situation il
general and there is considerable i'm
provement in Dallas. | look for earl!

OUR RESPECTS TO THE WILLS
POINT CHRONICLE.

The Wills Point Chronicle, edited
by Hon. Clarence E. Gilmore, roasts
The Eagle for its structures on the
prison policy of former Governor
Campbell. The Eagle made no specific
charges--it wasn't necessary. The
facts discovered and published by the
investigating committee, of which Mr..
Gilmore himself was chairman, are
fresh in the memory of the people of
Texas. 1t is no excuse for Governor
Campbell that this investigation was
made upon his recommendation, near
the end of his last term. The people
of Texas know that the disgraceful
conditions existed and grew worse for
three years, and IL he didn't know it
it was because he didn't want to know
it. The people Of Texas have the best
of reasons to believe that there would
have been no investigation if the pub
lie hadn't learned enough of the state
of affairs to demand it, by means of
disclosures made by an honest and
humane chaplain-Rev. Jake Hodges
and others. Mr.. Hodges lost his job
because he told the truth, and the
Campbell organs at first poohooed the
sickening stories. But the people be-
lieved them, and when the demand
for an investigation became so strong
that it could not be resisted Governor
Campbell yielded to the inevitable.
AT best, it was deathbed repentance.
Mr.. Gilmore and his committee de-
served and received from the people
of Texas much honor for their thor
ough investigation and for instituting
the reforms that were based upon it.
Governor Campbell did no more than
he was forced to do and far less than
he ought to have done.
