THE MERRY WIDOW
Whether or not women should
wear hats in church is still agitating
the public mind As far as the Her-
ald is concerned the dear ladies are
requested to wear their hats but
there should be a limit to the size
and height of the churchgoiiig hat
A Merry Widow eight feet across is
clearly not a member of the church
and is certainly not entitled to five
or six pews Itis a lawn party at-
tachment and should always stay out-
doors Palestine Herald
Women have a method of settling
these things according to their own
notions and when the decision does
not meet with mans approval there
is no change made in the official pro-
gram If women desire to wear a
genuine cartwheel into church man
has no alternative but to smile and
try to look pleasant Weatherfoid

CAMPBELL WILL ACT
Austin Correspondent Tells of Execu-
tive Example and Precedent In
the Famous Pjerce Case
By James Fitzgerald
Austin Texas June 11 As stated
in a former article on the subject the
belief is well grounded in Austin that
Governor Campbell will take every
step that the law empowers him to
take to secure the return of H Clay
Pierce to Texas to stand trial on the
charge of perjury pending against
him in Travis county And it is fur-
ther believed surmise and guess work
to the contrary that when once
Pierce shall be back within the con-
fines of Texas the governor will
promptly put the judicial machinery
into motion to either prove the oil
magnate an innocent man or to be
guilty of the charge held against him
in Travis county We know the gov-
ernor will do this because he has
said he would many many times
since he has been governor As the
Denison Herald remarks the oil
organs may not be overjoyed at the
prospect of Mr Pierces return to
Texas or the assurance that he will
get a fair trial when once he shall be
brought within the purview of the
Texas criminal code but then the
said organs are oversuspicious and
sensitive to a nervewrecking point
where oil is concerned in the slight-
est they have a weakness that way
which weakness they invariably mani-
fest on occasions when oleaginous
subjects become entangled within the
law physics or divinity to which
statement the Danison Herald adds
the following indorsement J Just hgr
tween us and not for publication
some of the Texas newspapers dont
really seem to enjoy that decision of
the United States supreme court in
the matter of the state of Texas
against Henry Clay Pierce late of
St Louis now of New York and pos-
sibly a little later on of some place
In Europe
Of course the Herald does not say
why the said newspapers are dis-
turbed over the action of the su-
preme court but the fact that they
are disturbed will not deter Governor
Campbell from promptly acting in the
matter when in his excellencys good
judgment the time for prompt execu
tive action shall have arrived Why
do we know that the governor will
act promptly Because he has illus
trious example and precedent to
guide him to a prompt decision
Everybody will recall that is ev-
erybody who is interested will recall
how promptly and energetically Gov-
ernor Sayers acted in the Humphries
tilling affair up in Henderson county
an May 23 189D It will be recalled
that Governor Sayers promptitude
and energy in the Humphries affair
were incited by a determination that
the criminal laws of the state should
be upheld at all hazard and that the
murderers would be driven to the
gallows And of course Governor
Campbell cannot afford to be less
vigorous less prompt less determin-
ed to stamp out crime in Texas or to
bring the criminal to justice than was
Governor Sayers
Governor Sayers employed able
legal talent in the person of Hon N
B Morris if the writer mistakes not
to put the law and the executive will
into effect in the Henderson county
murder case
That is example and precedent No
1
Example and precedent No 2 was
set by Governor Lanham in the Bus1
by case and example and precedent
No 3 was set by Governor Lanham in
the Warren Moore and Kiiby case
and the writer believes that Governor
Campbell has no desire to be less
conspicuously alert in the enforce-
ment of the criminal laws than were
Governors Sajers and Lanham in the
chili go pending against Pierce
The witter wishes it thoroughly un-
derstood tiiat he is not seeking to
forestall the issue between the state
of Texas and Mr Pierce He Is not
charging Mr Pierce with crime of
any kind or character whatever He
is merely seeking to impress upon
the people of Texas that Air Camp-
bell will act in tills matter as be-
comes a chief executive bent upon
law enforcement and that the said

people are justified in imposing thjj

in this connection The writer be-

to answer the indictment pending
against him in the courts of Texak
that justice may be done Pierce anil
the dignity of the state and he Xtk
lieves that Governor Campbell ip
fully bent upon the vindication of th
law in this instance and in the ri
moval of an unjust accusation
against an American citizen if the
charge of perjury against Mr Pierre
shall be proven to be baseless
I do not say that the governor wi
do this in response to popular clam
or he will do it from deep convi
tion and a sense of duty feeling a
all Texans feel about it that th
laws and the dignity of the stat <
have been insulted and that the stai

We know that Governor 5ipbell
has said many times that he would
hold no communication with a fugi-

meant what he said and that he will

law economy and law enforcement as
it presents itself Governor Camp-
bell will act and the law will be vin-
dicated in the Pieice case
