ACHTIN, Tex,, March 21 "^tllla have
been introduced 011 this subject, hut the
l.n«rl»latiire aeems so much »naross«d
with the pnsHage of hills punhod hy or-
sanlwd lobhlea, consolidation hills and
other measures for the relief of corpora-
tions and special Interests, creating new
Offlcea and additional unnecessary ex-
penses for tho Htate government, that
it has not had time to afford adequate
protection by proper statute to th» aban-
doned wlvea and children of Texas."
This ringing sentence was not written
or spoken of the Teiaa legislature now
In session hy either an anarchist or one
unacquainted with It* work since January
H It Is taken from a message annt to
the lawmakers today and Is juet a sample
of tho plain talk" in which the executive
deals. A foretaste of what was coming
wa« Indicated In The Kxprexa of today.
All that Ths KxpiesH correspondent has
been writing of the derelictions of the
legislators who forgot the platform on
which they were olected Is more than
Juntlfied by ths Govornor's strictures.
MESSAGE A STERN ONE.
Those who have read and all those who
heard it road recall in the vigorous speech
the famous "Easter greetings" sent to
tlw Thirty-first legislature Just about
this lime four years ago. In that docu-
ment Thomas M. Campbell called spades
by their own names and there la nobodv
who Xnows w*io »-|ll acuM Oaoar B. C'ul-
itnllt of nylng a lack la a i,-aeen In the
manage of today. It Is the warmest
protiosltlon the Governor has ever sent to
the members of a co-ordinate body of the
Stale government and Is going to occupy
a prominent sphere In the niche where his
Slate papers will rest.
Here la another excerpt that ought to
give every reader a lasle for more:
"The man who stands on the floor of
either the House of Representatives or
tho Senato and atones for the conditions
that prevailed prior to the beginning of
this administration and blocks the way to
proper legislation which will enable the
carrying on of the penitentiary system
uuder humane management Is a rrlmlnal
at heart. If be Is not shown lo bo such
by hli profession.'
Strong words those, and there Is many
another nentanco In tho message that
peels the cutlcla like a bull whip. And
the truth of It Is, there are scores of
members who agree, privately, the "skin-
ning" Is deserved. They will admit,
when pie-sod. that the Uovernor is right
In the message Iho Governor, fearful
none of I he legislators read the platform
adopted at San Antonio, quotes the whole
of that utterance of the Democratic
party. This was not rem! because reading
clerks grew tired.
.Nalurally, some of the menilieta are
angry. They wurt lu ill-humor even al
the thought of what was coming. They
glanced at the headlines telling what waa
expected of the Governor, printed In The
Express of Friday, and r en Used Home-'
thing not down In Iho cards was en route.
They were hardly prepared, however, for
the utillmberlng of a whole executive
battery at once.
Good Friday was utilised by Uovernor
Colquit In undertaking a service for the
stata that ought lo bring early and de-
cisive rerutts.
This, however, is a matter of doubt
The Legislature is In the rut and It Is
extremely difficult lo get out of It. The
mi«sego, though, will aerve 10 lei all
Texane know something of what the men
Hi. \ .-nl In Austin to make laws for the
whole p»op|e have been doing As such.
II will, In the end, have on effect that
cannot escape being beneficial.
VARIOUS KITK'TS PROPrtlBD
Various elfe.-K were produced on dif-
ferent iuemt"-r*» t'V the message Mr. Co*
of Kills tried to get the Speaker to call
e resolution lie hastily prepared and
which ensured the Governor for his ' ss-
pel shots 011 the Legislature "privileged."
lloth Representative Tillotson, then pre-
siding, ttnd Spoaliei Terrell, who came lo
the chair to quell Ihe disorder pre\aillng,
refused to entertsiii such a motion.
Mr Howell of Marlon said he had not,
as all understood, been In political ac-
cord wiiii the Governor, hut that he, for
one, uns unwilling to go back home with
the tlmernor'a demands on the Legisla-
ture unanswered. He favored a pro-
gramme that would give Hlieolule right
of way to platform demands
The Senate heard the message, for the
most part. In dignified silence. In the
Mouse there were frequent oheers, that
part rrfeerlng to Ihe Intimate relatione
between the acts that have passed and
the lobby hrlmrlng hearty applause from
many metnhers.
Whole truth Is. the Governor did not
say nn extra word, lie might have gone
farther than he did end »llll have been
amply Justified. Ho might have called
attention to tbe Interferes >• of the lobby
In practically every tneasuie before Mat
Legislature. Ho might have sa il In all
caincsuioas that corporation lawyers are
even ttylng lo willn 4lie enabling net
putting the home rule amendment lino

WIND s WEEPS 0 VER NOR TH
Throughout the States Bordering on the Great Lakes
and in Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana Many
Are Dead and Miss'ng Estimates of Property Loss
Hun Above $2,000,000.
More than seventy-five persons are reported killed and hundreds were
inlured, some mortally, by a storm of tornado intensity, which raged over
Central, Western, Southern and parts of Hastern States yesterday.
Property damage will run well into the millions.
Definite advices have been received accounting for at least seventy per-
sons dead, with .eports from points temporarily cut off from wire commu-
nication by the storm adding hourly to the list.
alabama suffers heaviest loss.
Reports from Alabama show the loss of life was heaviest in that State,
the number of dead there being already definitely placed at twenty-seven,
with additional fatalities reported but not confirmed. Lower Peachtree waa
practically wiped out. Two arc dead in Indiana, three in Tennessee, two in
Ohio, two in New York, one in Michigan, two in Louisiana, five in Missis-
sippi and one in Texas. .
Accompanying the death lists are estimates of the injured, totaling
more than 200, with additions coming in at brief intervals.
Coming up out of the Southwest early Friday morning, just as spring
wat ushered in, ihe storm swept with startling suddenness diagonally
across the country from Northern Texas to Western Pennsylvania and New
York, bisectioning the Mississippi Valley and moving northeastward across
the Ohio into the Great Lake Region.
Shifting winds of great violence, accompanied in various sections by
snow, sleel and hail, characterized the slorm, easily the most destructive
of the year and rarely equaled in the extent of its sweep and damage.
Buildings toppled before the blow in nearly a dozen Stales, and death lay all
along in its wake.
Tbe properly loss was heavy all along ninny districts where wire eouimmiicalloa
tin storm's track. Resides demolishing
or uurooflng buildings and felling trees,
the high winds, rains, ball and sleel did
serious damage to early crops, according
lo reports from some of the affected sec-
lions.

Wires fell in all directions before the
blow. Not lu many yuars lias there been
such prostration of telephone and tele
