Judge Appsals to Save Boys From
Jails and Penitentiaries, Sin and
Crims and Shame.
To the Times:
The need of a probation officer for
this county has been heretofore urged
in your columns by Hon. C. B. Felder,
county Judge, but the subject is one of
such vital importance that I fell that
it will not be amiss for me to empha-
sise some of the things he has so well
said and perhaps add some suggestions
of my own. F
Juvenile offenders are boys under
sixteen years of age and they occupy
a peculiar position under the laws of
this state.- When the law lays its re-
straining hand upon the boy and he is
brought before either the district or
county court, as the case may be, he
becomes a ward of the state and when
tried and found guilty of the offense
charged against him, the state, as rep
resented by the judge, assumes con-
trol of his actions with one distinct
object In view and only one, which is
to reform him if it be possible to do
so and make a good and useful citizen
out of him. .
---he-cendition and-the-etatus-of-the
criminal child is to my mind superla-
tively pitiful. His sin may be the re
suit of heredity, association, ignorance
or innate vice; the law makes no dis-
tinction. but in its profund regard for
the limitations of the responsibility of
extreme youth, It places upon 'your
district and county judges the duty
to make such orders as may be for the
best interest of the child.
Now when he is reguarly tried and
declared to be a delinquent there are
at present but two things possible for
the judge to do with him. In the ex-
ercise of his discretion, he can send
him to the State Institution for the
Training of Juveniles at Gatesville
(commonly called the reformatory) or
he can send him out into the world
again on probation, pending good be
havior. As the judge is always willing
to give a boy another chance to make
good, he usually gives him a moral
lecture and sends him to his home
with instructions to report at stated in-
tervals. Right at this juncture the
judge is often confronted with a seri-
ous question as to whether it is best
to send him to Gatesville or send him
home, but the home usually gets the
benefit of the doubt and the boy walks
off down town or to his home as he
happens to choose. Of course the
judge cannot follow him and see where
he goes and for his future conduct,
he must depend upon the boy alone in
most cases, for his parents, if he has
parents, have probably lost all parental
control before the law has ever laid
hands upon him. It Is unfortunately
the case that there are many, very
many parents who either cannot or
will not control their off-spring and it.
But where there is a probation of-
ficer. the court can order that officer
to take the boy in hand, and, as the
representative of the Juvenile court
it is the duty of that officer to look
after the boy, keep him out of bad
company, advise and assist him to a
higher and a better life, see that he
attends school, keeps off the Strsets
at night and to exert all proper influ-
ences and all proper authority to .carry
out the objects of the law by bring-
ing about the complete reformation of
the boy.
Without such an officer it is mani-
festly impossible to accomplish the
objects of the law. In many If not
most of the cases, Judge Felder has
done some good work along the line
I am glad to say, and I know that he
has been faithful and vigilant in his
work with his "Juvenile class” but no
man can do what needs to be done with-
out a probation officer.
The inevitable result is that many
of the boys return to their former as-
sociations and evil habits of life and
soon again they are in the clutches of
the law and this time the only thing
left to do is to send them off to the
reformatory.
All observant parents and teachers
will agree that the period of time be-
tween the ages of twelve and sixteen
Is the "critical period" in the life of
the boy. It is essentially the formative
period of character. It is then that
the boy is most difficult to keep at
home, in school, at work or in gooll
company. It is then that the seeds of
good or evil are sown in the most fal-
low ground to bring forth fruits of
either good citizenship or bad citizen
ship a few years later in life. 4
So when the young offender, caught
perhaps In his first criminal act, leaves
the court house, on probation during
good behavior, how very Important ft
is that he be noticed by a really good
man, warned, led by degrees into
“paths of righteousness” instead of evil
and gently, lovingly, but firmly be
made to understand that he must obey
the laws of his country and the reason
able demands of those in authority
over him.
I am firmly convinced that such a
man, pursuing such a course, can save
a large percent of all such boys and
make good citizens out of them. On
the other hand I believe from the ob
servation I have made that without
such an officer a great many juvenile
offenders will continue on in evil until
they either get caught again and go
to the reformatory or else pass the
age limit and go to the penitentiary.
The legislature has made no provis-
ion for the pay of a probation officer
and for this reason Judge Felder and
I have been unable to secure one. We
are in perfect accord as to the needs
of the situation and if the means were
placed at our disposal we both fee'
sure that great good could be ae
complished along this line. To do it
the “Juvenile Court" should have at
least fifty dollars per month to pay
some good man for this service. I be
lieve that sum would secure the ser-
vices of the right sort of man for such
part of his time as would be demanded
by this work. *
Are the boys worth it? Is it worth
the time, the trouble and the outlay of
money to make a coed oithersrsts
they will be useful to the community;
If they make gad men they will be a
perpetual menace to society. A dol-
lar spent now may save hundreds in
the future, looking at the matter from
a purely economic standpoint.
This to an age of conservation; con-
servation of our natural resources, our
soil, our minerals, our water-powers
and all of our material wealth. Let
me speak for the conservation of our
boys. Let us save them from the jails
and the penitentiaries, the street gange
and from sin and crime and shame;
save them for abetter life in this
world as well as the world to come.
The Wichita people have responded
in the "Wichita Way" to all calls for
money to make good roads, good
streets, good churches, good school
houses and all manner of public en-
terprises. Now is there not some civic
or some philanthropic man or woman
who will take the lead in raising six
hundred dollars per year to help make
good citizens out of the boys in the
Juvenile courtf
I cannot close without offering one
more suggestion. The real burden of
this work falls upon your county Judge:
he has a score of juvenile offenders to
look after to one in the district court.
It is a matter of no small responsibility,
when you come to consider that what
he does or fails to do may affect the
whole life of “one of these little ones.”
He should have, the hearty co-opera-
tion of all the good people of the town
In every effort to enforce the wise and
beneficient provisions of this law.
Some twenty-odd cases have been
filed on his juvenile docket. These
boys are mostly in and about the town
right now, and whether we have the
probation officer or not we ought to
have the assistance of the good people
of the town in keeping them out of
mischief, in school, at home or at work
as the case may be.

The Gubernatorial Race
(Houston Chronicle)
Since the days of reconstruction
only once has the democratic party
of Texas refused a second term to a
governor of the state, R. B. (Dick)
Hubbard, who had been elected
lieutenant governor on the ticket
with Coke in 1876, was refused a
nomination by the state convention in
Austin in 1878. Hubbard served most
of a term after Coke's election to
the United States senate in 1877, and
desired to succeed himself. The
most historically bitter convention
that the democrats of Texas have ever
known was that which rejected Hub-
bard’s aspirations. The proceedings,
lasting for more than a week, were
characterised by turmoil that came
near terminating tragically. Bill
Herndon of Tyler and Buck Walton of
Autsin were conspicuous figures In
the angry attacks, that of Walton on
Hubbard being probably the most vio-
lent ever listened to in a state meet-
ing of the Texas democracy. The
convention operated under the 900
votes were necessary to nominate a
candidate. Hubbard at all stages of
his caftdidacy had, almost the neces-
sary number to bring success, and it
was claimed that on one ballot he had
ernor Roberts always took with him
on his speaking tours, a small hair
trunk, in which he carried books, pa-
pers and various documents for ref-
erence in his speeches. A spectacu-
lar incident of the campaign took

Dallas. Hundreds of mounted men
rode in a procession up Main steret,
which reached almost from Lamar
street to the Houston and Texas Cen-
tral Railroad tracks In East Dallas.

violating principles o rsacridcing con-
rictiona. Judged from his viewpoint
of public policy, Governor Colquitt has

every hope of their reaching a ver-
diet has faded.”
After the jury had retired, Sneed
and his relatives, who had resolved
the message with no sign of concern
except a look of Intense Interest,
rose and left the room.

Roberts was the Hon. W. G. (Bill)
Sterett, and the writer of this article
was one of the assistant secretaries.
As a result of, that convention.
Lieutenant Governor Sayers was fore-
ed into temporary political retirement
and oblivion. Four years later be
was eletced to congress from the
Bastrop district. His old law patrner,
G. Wash Jones, the noted Greenback
party leader of Texas, voluntarily re-
tired from congress, in order to give
Sayers a chance for political rehabi-
litation with the democracy' of the
the nomination honestly won, but was
deprived of the victory through a state. Sayers served 14 years in con
clerical error of the men tabulating
the votes. There are old supporters
of Hubbard who till this day Insist
that he was made the victim of poll
tical conspiracy and dishonesty, He
that as it may, he was refused the
nomination, and, as a compromise,
the convention took; Chief ..Justice
Oran M. Roberts of the state supreme
court as its nominee and he was
overwhelmingly elected.
Four times since the historic con-
vention of 1871 have organized ef
forts within the party been made to
defeat a democratic governor for a
renomination, in 1880, 1892, 1908 and
now in 1912. Three of these efforts
porved unsuccessful. The fourth is
gress and finally, 1898, attained his
life’s ambition by being nominated
and elected by the democrats as gov-
ernor. He was accorded a 4 renomi-
nation, unopposed in 1200.and in now
living quietly at his. home in Austin.
Times had mellowed the bitter feel-
ings which his revolt against his chief
aroused among the supporters of the
“Old Alcadle” in 1880. ,
Another effort was made in 1908 to
deprive a democratic governor of a
second term. Tom Campbell was op-
posed by Bob Williams, the “Cumby
Blacksmith," because he had dissatis-
fied certain interests with bls tax re-
form policies. Campbell, however,
defeated Williams in the democratic
yet to be decided. primary election by nearly 90,000 ma-
The Hon. Joseph D. Sayers, who Jority, and served a second term that
was lieutenant governor under Rob
erts during the "Old Alcalde’s" first
term, organized a revolt and tried
personally to succeed his chief in
1880. Roberts had made a strenuous
administration against the efforts of
exploitation on the part of what was
known as the "land sharks" of that
time. A Dertoit syndicate wanted to
gobble up, for little or nothing, all
the white and yellow pine and other
timbered lands of East and Southeast
Texas, and a Chicago syndicate enter
jority, and nerved a second term that
was more strenuous than the first.
This brings the chronology down to
ernor Colquitt and an acceptance of
the policies favored by Judge Ram-
sey. Measures, not men, will be the
judgment of unbiased minds on the
verdict which shall be rendered by
the voters in the primary election of
July 27, 1912. And that is what it
should be.

swept the entire section, which kept
up until a late hour Sunday night.
During this gale a plate glass win-

messages summoning Judge Swayne,
John Beal Sneed, the defendant, and
attorneys for both sides, were rumor-

The rumor spread quickly, and by
10 o'clock a small crowd about the
door of the court room, within which
they were not allowed, was beginning
to be swelled.
At 11:1k o’clock John B. Sneed
entered the court room through the
district clerk’s office. As he entered
the outside door he was knocking
the ashes from his pipe, which by
ber of signs and wires were torn down.
