feell County Lawyer Describes His
Task in Life Since His Election to
District Attorney of World's Great
Metropolis to Head a Pity-Roll of
217 Persons in Crime Prosecutions.
Temple is an outstanding of pluck
and boosting. Joab H. Banton, district
attorney of New York City, asserted
in addressing the Stag Party banquet
last night, Mr. Banton said, In part
Texas is wonderland! It seems that
some genii with magic wand lias
transformed it. When I left Waco to
go to New York twenty-six years ago,
the trip (jonsumed three day# and
half. When I returned last week, It
took less than two days. Then an au-
tomobile was unknown, now, In pro-
portion to the population, you have
more automobiles than New York.
Then the roads were Impassable dur-
ing the rainy season, now the state Is
converted Into a veritable checker-
board by well paved roads. Then
razor-backs and mavericks were In
the land, now the highest of thorough-
breds are seen everywhere. There
was not much manufacturing done
here then, now the hum of factories It
heard in every town and city. Then
small elementary schools were strug-
gling and calling themselves colleges
and universities, now colleges and uni-
versities, acknowledged as such, are
filled with eager students. Then we
dared not to dream that there might
be mineral wealth beneath our soli,
now we know that In our wildest
dreams we never approximated the
mineral wealth of Texas.
Great was Texas and Temple was
her prophet. Great is Texas and
Temple Is her star. Who would have
dreamed on the day that the Katy
crossed the Santa Fe that sueh a city
would be here today? Here Is Tem-
ple, the queen of the rolling prairies,
the heart of Central Texas! She Is
^thls not because of natural advantages
or waterways, but because of the
pluck, energy and push of her busi-
ness men. All that Temple Is, lias
been the result of th® efforts of men
like you who have always "boosted."
I do not believe that I ever heard ■
Temple man say anything but good
about his city. Even when the black
Waxy mud was so deep and thick that
carriages and wagons would get stuclt
so that they could not be pulled out.
no man In Temple would ever admit
that the streets were muddy, and
aurely lie would not knock—on the
contrary the men of Temple saw to It
that good streets were built.
The world should thank you and
those who went before you for this
example. This seems to have been
the aoifg of Temple:
"Boost, and the world boosts with
you;
Knock, and you hurt your town.
For the old world loves
The man who shoves,
But It knocks the knocker down."
Some one has suggested that I teil
you something about my big Job at
New York. It la a big Job. To me
has been committed the task of main-
taining law and order In New York.
I have on my pay roll 217 persons,
ninety of whom are lawyers, and I
spend $734,000 a year to maintain the
office. The secret of success as I hava
achieved is the secret of Temple's suc-
cess: Boost. I never let any one
hear tales about nny member of my
staff. Everyone is placed upon his
honor. Everyone knows that I have
entrusted to him the most precious
Jewel that I possess, my reputation,
and he guards that with fidelity and
zeal. And every one in the office
boosts.
Everyone in my office knows that
he represents all of the people of New
York. I am called the people's at-
torney, and the accuser and the ac-
cused are alike my clients. Every
member of my staff knows the Ideals
I have of the office: That no guilty
person should escape prosecution, and
that no innocent person be accused or
convicted.
The people of New York have come
to believe that the district attorney
maintains these ideals and have
learned to trust him. There is nO
mushiness in thiR policy, and the sob
sisters have learned that hysteria will
avail nothing.
I wish my Texas friends might bo
near me and hear and see what I see
and hear. It would break your hearts
often and make you think more kind-
ly of your fellow man. Do you know
that In the recent drive that I made
against crimes of violence over 70 per
cent of those convicted for the first
time wi re under the age of 21 years,
and over SO per cent were under the
age ot' 30 years? Boys and girls who
have not had the chances that we
have had In life have been swept
down in its current. It Is my Job to
help them as well as to prosecute
them—at least that Is the way that I
Interpret it and they understand It.
So, day by day, they write me from
the prisons, and, where the law per-
mit!, I try to help them; for I believe
that It Is better to salvage humanity
than to throw it into the scrap-he»«»
u* human aerap heaps.
Do not blame a Judge when he sus-
pends aentence. Experience In New
York baa proved that 95 per eent of
thoaa who have receive* auspendel
sentence* have gone atraight. Think
what a savin* thla la to society. The
average should be higher here.
It time permitted I could tell many
Intereating experiences, and some quite
amusing, for with all my experiences
I have not lost my aense of humor.
But I ahall not consume your time.
Frienda of my homeland, I am glad
that you gave me this opportunity to
greet you.

small farmers as well as to the large
cattle raisers and grain growers.
