his face and neck were very badly

in this city last night by automobile,
and is reported to be resting easy to-

GREAT SUCCESS

cessful and Appreciated by
A. G. M. Students.

At the urgent request of college
students and residents of Bryan, the
Elks' big minstrels, which scored such
wonderful hit Friday night at the
Colonial Theatre, decided to repeat and
gave another performance Saturday
evening, which was attended and
greatly enjoyed by those present.
The greatest evidence of the merits
of the show is the fact that they We're
so urgently requested TO give another
performance and were greeted by
such an enthusiastic audience. Espe-
cially were the college boys loud in
their applause of the jokes as applied
to people from the campus, and every
number on the program was received
with vigorous encores.
Henry Roquemore, who has been in
/ the city several days, making all
/ necessary arrangements for this big
event, deserves special praise for the
mastery manner in which he selected
and trained the participants, thereby
making the wonderful hit scored by
the Elks' MINISTRIES possible Mr.. Ro.
uuemore carries his own costumes
which are exceedingly attractive, ar
ranges and originates the jokes and
songs and attends to the many other
details so necessary in putting on a
minstrel show. His ability may best
be judged by the wonderful success
by which his efforts were crowned.
Mr.. Roquemore goes from Bryan
to Hillsboro, where he will stage an
other minstrel show. The people of
Hillsboro may rest assured that any
show which he consents to stage will
be a great success.

A CREDIT TO GOVERNOR COL
QUITS STRATloN.

Recurring again to the Lindale plan,
which we shall admit has a fascina-
tion for us, a remark was attributed
to one of the convicts in the very in
teresting story we printed of it We'd
nesday that involves the whole phi
losophy OF the experiment. Speaking
of Mr.. Christian, who is in charge of
the work, this convict said: I'VE
don't feel like convicts with him; we
feel like men"
If that feeling is general among the
forty-eight men under Mr. Christians
control and shall be thoroughly in
stilled into them by his tuition, then
Mr.. Christian will have proved him
self no less distinguished as a pencil
ogist than he evidently is as a road
engineer. The success of this expert
ment will be measured by the degree
with which the convicts are made to
feel like men" This feeling like a
man" is compounded of two elements,
one of Them hope and the other con
fidence; hope growing out of the be.
lief that the opportunities OF life are
not foreclosed to the convicts, and
confidence on the part OF the convict

In olden times it was a practice
among some peoples to brand con
victs. The primal purpose was, doubt
less, to warn society against them
when free. But the chief effect of this
practice was to eXaggerate and per
mamie the convicts sense of his guilt
He could conceal the brand from the
public view, but he could not himself
forget its existence. It was an eXqui
sitely perfect means Of making hin
feel like a convict, not merely durinl
the term of his Imprisonment, but fol
the rest of his life. There was more
formality than reality in his freedom
when released from prison, and if HI
relapsed into crime he was only yield

In our use of methods or apparatus, we are
committed to no one system. We own con
troll or have the right to use the inventions
necessary to operate any system recognized or
accepted as the most efficient. The Bell Sys-
TEN must always recognize and in its selection
must always be governed by the necessities OF
a national service with its complex require
ments which is infinitely more exacting than
local or limited service.
These achievements represent vast expendi-
lures of money and immense concentration OF
effort which have been justified by results OF
immeasurable benefit to the public. No local
company unaided could bear the financial or
scientific burden of this work. such results
are possible only through a centralized general
staff avoiding wastefu duplication of effort.
working out problems common to all, for the
benefit of all.
The pioneers of the Bell System recognized
that telephone service they saw Il was in
the broadcast sense a public utility; that upon
them rested public obligation TO give the
best possible service at the most reasonable
rates consistent with risk investment and the
continued improvement and maintenance of its
property
Without this expenditure of millions and
concentration of effort, the telephone art as it
exists could not have been developed
What we have done in working out these
great problems in the past should be accepted
as a guarantee Of what we will do in the future.

become refined to the point of revolt
ing at the physical cruelty 1t entailed,
and were not moved by a recognition
of the psychollcal consequences on
the convict thus branded. This is
proved by the fact that long after the
practice of branding convicts was dis
continued they were nevertheless
treated with severity and barbarity
of which branding was only the sub
limation. We continued to treat them,
do even yet In lesser degree, in a way
to impress theoretically on their con-
seriousness the fact that they are con-
victs, and not men who retained any
right to humane consideration, It was
not through malevolence, but through
Ignorance. that we did this. We were
obsessed of the fallacy that the only
way to minimize the chance of con-
yict's relapse into crime was to put
him to torture, the recollection of
which would forever afterward terror
| lie him. Doubtless there are cases,
many of them which give that idea
the appearance of soundness; that is,
cases of convicts who have been de-
tered by the recollection of the pun
ishment their first offending entaiTed
But there is a much more plentiful
supply of cases in the history of pun
ishment which disprove that idea

accomplish by this method is to make
convicts desperate by intoxicating the

be implanted. 1t contrives, with mar.
velous ingenuity, to make the convict
forget that he is still man. It is a
method which, instead of encouraging
him to feel like man." forbids him
to do so, and reminds him at every

of prison, that he is convict.
1t is because the Lindale plan, MS
conceived and executed BY NJ. Chris
tian, is so Numerically reversal of
the old philosophy of punishment. a
philosophy as fatuous as II is cruel,
that its institution promises to become
an epochal event in the history of this
State and the most distinguished
merit of the Colquitt administration,

In no line of human endeavor has the in
ventive brain of the scientist contributed more
to the worlds progress than by the creation
of the art of telephony, OF whlch the BEL
system is the embodiment
When the telephone was born, nothing an
alogous to telephone service as we now know
il existed There was no tradition to guide, no
experience to follow.
The system the apparatus, the nataods-an
entire new art had to be created. The art OF
electrical engineering did not exist Inc Ben
pioneers, recognizing that success depended
upon the highest engineering and technical
skill at once organized an experimental ana re-
search department which is now directed Dy
a staff OF over $50 engineers and scientists, IN
Guiding former professors, postgraduate stu,
dents scientific inyestigators-the graduates OF
over 20 universities.
From its foundation the company has con
tinuously developed the art. New improve
ments in telephones, switchboaris' INES
cables have followed one another with remark
able rapidly
While each successive type of apparatus to
the superficial observer suggested similarity,
each step in the evolution marked a decided
improvement. These changes, this evolution,
has not only been continuous, but is continu'
ing Substantially all of the plant now in use,
including tlepehones, switchboards, cables ana
wires has been constructed renewed or re-
constructed in the past 10 years
Particularly in switchboards have the
changes been so radical that installations cost

been discarded after only few years OF use
