ROSS AND JIM’S PARDON
RECORD
Much nas been said about
the pardon record of the Fer-
gusons and Ross Sterling.
Since the penitentiary system
is in better condition, and the
convicts giving less trouble
than in t/he past, and believing
this condition is due to a great
extent to the parole law as ob-
served by Gov. Sterling, we
give the following excerpt
from a radio speech by Mrs.
Jane Y. McCallum, secretary
of state, and one of the state’s
most efficient officials:
“However, most questions
asked me concern the pardon
records of the Fergusons as
compared with Governor
Sterling’s. These records are
public documents on file in
my office and open to any one
far inspection. In this connec-
tion let me impress upon you
the vast difference between a
furlough, a parole and a par-
don. When a prisoner is grant-
ed a furlough, it is lor a limit-
ed time and practically always
for an emergency such as se-
rious illness or death in his
family. Texas has a parole
law, and, when a prisoner is
paroled it is in compliance
with this law and upon the
condition of good behavior;
and he knows that for the
very first violation of this con-
tion, he will be brought back
to the penitentiary to serve
out-his term. The parole law
is generally accepted as one
of the most effective measures
for reform ever devised, and
Governor Sterling- is to be
congratulated upon his sen-
sible, successful administering
of this law.
“But when a man is pardon-
ed, he is, as you know, as free
as if never incarcerated. Jim
