The Bill Discussed The Ace
Of Consent Again Etc
Austin Texas Feb 1895
The legislature is now at work
on some very important bills
and the senate has passed the
one giving the University Re-
gents control of the University
lands it going through with hut
one dissenting vote that of
Senator Steele who a2 > pears to
he opposed to high education
The law will no doubt redound
to the interest of the interest of
the University as it is believed
the regents can more success-
fully lease and sell the lauds
than Hie state under its present
made
The senate has also passed
to third reading Senator Bow
sers libel bill Avhich is of
interest to all newspapers
As passed it provides in any
suit brought for the publica-
tion of a libel in any newspa-
per in this state the plaintiff
shall recover only actual dam-
ages if it shall appear that the
publication was made in good
faith and its falsity was due to
negligence mistake or misap-
prehension of the facts and
that in the next regular issue
of said paper after such mistake
or misapprehension was brought
to the knowledge of the publish-
ers whether before or after
suit was brought a correction
was published in as consjneuous
a manner and place in said news-
paper as was the article sued
on as libelous
That in actions for libel if
there is no express malice then
no exemplary or punitive dam-
aged shall be awarded but
such malice may be inferred
from the nature and tone of the
statements claimed to be libel-
ous
No exemplary or punitive
damages shall be recovered un-
less the plaintiff shall before
bringing suit give notice by
mail or otherwise to the defen
dent to publish a retraction of
the libel and allow the defend-
ant a reasonable time in which
to publish such retraction and
it provides that the defendant
a reasonable time in which to
publish such retraction and it
provides that the defendant
may plead in his answer that
the libel was inserted without
malice and without gross neli
gence and that at the earlist
subsequent opportunity he in-
serted in such publication a
full appology and that apology
was printed in as large an edi-
tion and equally conspicuous in
position and style of type and
degree of publicity as was the
insertion of the original
The fee bill comes up Thurs-
day and it is going to have a
hard road to travel Conserva-
tive men doubt the propriety
of doing away with it Indeed
such men as Judge A S Walk-
er one of the oldest judges in
the state and other emphati-
cally declare it will work great
injury to do away with the fee
system They declare that the
free system i = the only prop

one and if one office under that 16 years A majority of the
system in a certain county pavs Senate is decidedly in favor of
i 4 rt the bill with the age at 18 but
more than the same office m Li i n >
I the opposition by filibustering
some other county it is simply has succeeded to getting the
because it does more woik Itage down to 15 and strange to
is true that in some of the large
counties the aggregate fees ap-
pear large but district and
county clerks and sheriffz in
such counties have to employ a
great many clerks and in all of
them do they at least half of a
year work late at night Un-
der a salary system they would
not do this In this county
your correspondent knows that
in both the district and county
and everybody knows that three
fourths of a sheriffs work is at
night Put sheriffs and con-
stables on a salary what in-
centive is there for then to turn
lice assistants and about half
of each jear he has four and
the aggregate salaries paid
yearly is 3100 leaving the
clerk 82200 To earn this mon-
ey the clerk himself often works
at night and one of his assist-
ants is at work almost every
night in the year The pay of
the clerk in a great measure is
dependent on the amount of
business and the fees paid in
It should be remembered too
that in all court business the
fees come out of the litigants
and not the people It should
also be remembered so those
who know say that under the
fee system the clerks and sher
iils are not shick about collect-
ing them If they were on sala-
ries would they be as diligent
It is safe to say they would not
A gentlemen and old officer iu
no way interested now said
this morning doing away with
the fee system would work
grave disaster to the state and
that if the law is passed the
next legislature will have to re-
peal it and then it will take
ten years to recover from the
efleets of the two years salary
work There is a deal of polit-
ical clap trap about this whole
business merely a sop thrown
to the poppies and if it be-
comes a law litigants and the
state will stiller if the oldest
judges and officers in the state
are to be believed The legisla-
ture should carefully investigate
the whole business
The most of this week has
been consumed by the Senate
discussing the age of consent
bill and it went to the table
say should it pass the senate
in this shape it is not to fail
in the House
It will probably astonish
your readers to learn that about
the only objection the opposi-
tion have to the bill is that it
may get some of the dear boys
into a pickle and along this
line Senator Bailey in speaking
against the bill said
Should the amendment just
offered to raise the age of con-
sent to 18 years be adopted it
would be fraught with much
5 d in the hands
clerks office night work is done f P ce
of the procuress a fruitful
source of blackmail Our boys
from In to 20 years of age are
yielding to the abductive influ-
ence of a girl under 18 prompt
ed by the will of a jnocuress
would under the amendment
out at night to either hunt up sought to be adopted be guilty
violations of law or to arrest ot tho crime of rape and liable
under the law to the severest
punishment that is now meted
out to our worst class of crimi
known violators Under a sal-
ary they w nt do it and that is
all there is about it
This county Travis figures
as one of the large counties It
has two district courts and
nearly all state cases are tried
here The fees of the office prob-
ably averages 8 300 a year
They do not exceed this The
nals No man on the floor of
thi3 senate has a higher regard
for womankind than myself
but the stern facts of observa-
tion impel me to say that all
the honesty and purity does
not belong to the female sex
That there are some dishonest
women as well as corrupt men
and that all girls under 18
clerk here has three regular of ars of age are not pure nor
have they always mothers who
are beyond reproach This
amendment to the bill would
place inthe hands of unscrupu-
lous women an instrument of
blacknail that would more
than counterbalance the good
sought to be accomplished I
believe in moderation in all
things and for that reason I am
opposed to the amendment and
iu favor of the bill which in
creaseb the age from 12 to 14
years
This is the argument Sen-
ator Bailey is a young man and
hasnt had much experience in
this cruel world The procuress
ho prates about in all cities
works her schemes on the bless-
ed men now and the age of
consent at 18 or 23 would not
add one whit to her opportuni-
ties No honorable true man
not addicted to the company of
the lille de jale fears the pro-
curess The gist of the argu-
ment against the bill is protect
the rakes libertines and despoil-
ers and let the girls go to the
devil I pointed out in a former
letter how the age of consent
would interfere with the busi-
ness of the disorderly houses
and the mistresses of such
houses in this citj are litterally
opposed to the age of consent
being raised at all The bill
will come up again Monday
