public safety is thereby en- lomas to those making passing
dangered, this being the sea- Srades ln the subjects. The ex-
son of the year where the
school children are attending
the schools, a large number
of such children have to
walk the distance to and
from such schools unprotect-
ed by grown persons; also
the public in general in their

the streets, roads and high-
vijays;
And whereas the safety

tack of such dogs at this ti-

and geography. The diploma
will entitle the holder to en-
ter any high school in Lavaca
County without further exami-
nations and will be a distinc-
tion that the holder has com-
pleted the grammar school
course.
As there will be no charges
in this matter, teachers should
use all means possible to en-
courage pupils completing the
seventh grade to take these
examinations and secure the
diplomas.

Trustee Election, April 4
The degree of sucess of any
school depends to a great ex-
tent on its trustees. They shall
have the management and con
trol of the schools in their re-
spective districts, they shall
have the power to employ and
dismiss teachers.Since so much
power is given them, it be-
hooves every worthy citizen to
elect such trustees who will
take a burning interest in the
education of our boys and
girls. Re-elect the old trustees
who have worked hard to bu-
ild up a good school system in
their community or elect
people who will.
In all common school dist-
ricts where no hold over trus-
i tees resigned or moved out two
trustees shall be elected this
year. Two county school trus-
tees shall be elected likewise,
! one from commisioner’s pre-
1 cinct 1 and 8 and the other
from precinct 2 and 6. Mr.
i William Mertz holds and has
held the position in precinct 1
| and 8 and rendered splendid
service. Mr. A. J. Elster repre-
| sents precinct 2 and 6 and has
filled the position with much
credit.
Supt. S. M. N. Marrs informs
us that $13 per capita appor-
tionment has been paid and
that the remaining $1 of the
$14 per capita for 1924-1925
will be paid on or before May
first.
Hurry Mother! Even a fret-
ful, peevish child loves the
pleasant taste of “California
Fig Syrup" and it never fails
to open the bowels. A tea
spoonful today may prevent a
sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for genu-
ine “California Fig Syrup’*
which has directions for babieh
ar.d children of all ages print-
ed on bottle. Mother! You
must say “California” or you
may get an imitation fig syrup.

Legislatures and the
Penitentiary.
Another session of the legis-
lature has come and gone. A-
nother investigation of the
Texas penitentiary system is
history. And it has come to
naught.
The investigation disclosed
how' Alfred Chance, a Cuban,
while surrounded by bloodho-
unds, wras shot down by guar-
ds who “thought Chance was
about to kill a dog.” They did
not even think he would esca-
pe. And a dignified state se-
nator on the floor of the se-
nate defended the guard, say-
ing that between the life
of a faithful bloodhound and
that of a convict to save the
dog.
The investigation disclosed
how a convict’s neck was bro-
ken with a singletree in the
hands of a guard, how the bo-
dy was thrown into a creek
and how a physician declared
without approaching the body
nearer than 15 feet, that “the
deceased came to his death
by drowming w'hile attempting
to escape.”
The investigation disclosed
how various other convicts
were murdered, 'how corrup-
tion and graft was prevalent
in the system and many other
malpractices that should not
be tolerated in a modern penal
institution.
Yet what tangible results
can the legislative investigati-
on show? What positive steps
have been taken to cure these
abuses?
None. Officially the investi-
gation was without result. It
has been just like all other
penitentiary investigations of
the past 20 years. A hullaba-
loo, much sensational eviden-
ce—nad nothing done.—Hous-
ton Chronicle.
The “probes” and “investi-
gations” of the affairs of the
penitentiary system have beco-
me disgusting to the people of
Ter- v* A-the treatment of the
imaTCT ^»«rtW-r*>»«tution a ste-
nch in the nostrils of civiliza-
tion.
We as a people raged at
atrocities committed by the fo-
reign foes during the world
wrar, of these uncivilized be-
ings there couldn’t be much
more expected, but our great
State that so proudly boasts of
its great traits of civilization
must plead guilty to barbarism
when confronted by the deeds
committed in our penal insti-
tution as referred to in the a-
bove editorial of the Houston
Chronicle. “O, consistency
thou art a jewel.”
We may sing the great so-
ngs of our native state, whis-
tle and hum the tunes of pa-
triotism but in the echo that
rebounds wre hear the pleading
of Alfred Chance the poor
Cuban who was shot down
while surrounded by blood-
hounds, we hear the cries of
the helpless victim w’ho had
his neck broken with a single-
tree in the hands of a guard
as well as the many others
who have also suffered.
How long will this be tole-
rated, how long we wonder,
how long.
