REGENERATION AND
MORAL UPLIFT FAILED
Attempt to Kill Inaugural Ball Sep
arates the Sheep and Goats—Bat
tle By Apostles of Purity Lost.
(By Edmunds Travis.)
Special Dispatch.
Austin. Tex., Jan. IS.—Colquitt's in
augural ball was the issue in a battle
between the homespun and broadcloth
members of the house of representa
tives yesterday afternoon, which for a
time resolved itself into a symposium
upon the evils of the dance.
The trouble started when W. O.
Stamps, that veteran statesman and
maker of molasses from Upshur coun
ty introduced a resolution forbidding
the use of the hall of representatives
for the new governor's ball on the
ground that it was a place "too
sacred” to be the scene of dancing,
drinking and gambling. In the end
the champions of the "uplift” were
beaten, but not before perfervid ora
tory in denunciation or defense of '.he
terpsichorean art had been expended
by several members.
The final vote on an amendment of
fered by Terrell of Cherokee to a sub
stitute for the Stamps resolution of
fered by Robertson of Travis, striking
out the provision for a ball and leav
ing the affair a mere reception, was
32 ayes and 88. noes.
Every man who voted in the af
firmative hailed from a district where
the housewives put up their own pre
serves and the big family Bible with
its record of births and deaths has the
place of honor on the center table In
the “best room.”
Guileless Is He.
Whatever twaddle may be written
in regard to the political significance
of the fight against the inaugural ball,
notwithstanding, the conflict was as
totally devoid of any such element as
anything in a Texas legislature could
well be. Stamps, the author of the
resolution against permitting the hall
to be used for dancing has long been
known as a legislator without guile.
He is one of those honest old Puritans
who never did a politic thing in his
life and scorns deception. Often he
has taken issue with those whom he
knew could crush opposition, simply
anti purely at the dictates of his own
conscience and without regard to polit
ical consequences.
Choked With Emotion.
That this was his attitude in op
posing the Colquitt ball, he declared
In a voice husky with emotion, after
Robertson of Travis had said his reso
lution was a "direct slap at the incom
ing governor and at the people oi
Austlh.”
"I am willing to stand here in this
sacred hall, where you and I have
taken our oaths of fealty to Texas and
Almighty God and where the governor
himself must kiss the Bible in reverent
homage to Jehovah and to say any
man that this hall where God's bless
ings are daily invoked should not be
given over to Bacchanalian revelry,
against the honest sentiment of Chris
tian civilization." shouted the gentle
man from Upshur, when his resolu
tion was bitterly assailed by Judge
Robertson.
Helped Stamps.
Foremost among those who sup
ported the Stamps resolution were
George B. Terrell of Cherokee, mem
ber of the Farmers' Union and sworn
ally of the plowboy and Hamilton of
Childress another representative from
a farming district. W. S. Stepter, the
blind man from Ellis county cotton
country and W. A. Tarver a six-foot
evangelist of purity from Navarro
were also supporters of the resolution.
The fact that Clarence E. Gilmore, de
feated candidate for speaker, voted
on the side of the “uplift.” might have
been taken as a clue to a political mo
tive behind the resolution, but he,
too, represents a county in which hun-
Strength Comos
Not From What Yon Eat. But From
What You Digest.
A Tablet Digests a Meal. Trial Pack-
age Free.
Most people eat most foods without
aiscrimination —it matters little what.
Few stop to think what that food does
for them. This is the first turn on
the road to dyspepsia. Reckless dis
regard of the proper choice of foods,
rapid eating and improper mastica
tion are the unquestioned causes of
all stomach disorders from the slight
ache to the malignant cancer.
There is nothing more revolting
than a dyspeptic stomach —a very vat
for putrefaction, sending forth its
poison throughout the entire system,
depressing the brain, befouling the
breath, souring the taste, deadening
the muscles, incapacitating the liver
and kidneys for their work, debilitat
ing the heart, choking the lungs and
clogging the bowels.
All of these disagreeable and dan
gerous conditions are due to the im
proper digestion of food and the con
sequent assimilation of poison. What
else can be expected? If the food lies
In the stomach, if the system is con
stipated. fermentation is the natural
outcome. It shows itself in sour
watery risings, belchings, heartburn
and painful breathing.
There is only one way to relieve this
condition. If the stomach refuses to
digest your food put something into
It that will. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab
lets are nothing but digestives. They
are not a medicine. They work when
the stomach will not.
Each tablet contains enough pep
sin, diastase, golden seal and other
digestive elements to reduce 3000
grains of ordinary food to the proper
consistency for assimilation into the
blood.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are abso
lutely pure. There is nothing harm
ful in them, as shown in their en
dorsement by 40,000 physicians in the
United States and Canada.
Ask your family physician his opin
ion of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
!f ho is honest toward you he wlil
state positively that they will cure
your stomach trouble whatever it may
be, unless you have waited too long
and have allowed your disorder to de
relop into cancer.
Act today and V“gin to end your
suffering. A tree trial package will
be sent to your address upon request.

FRIDAY.
dreds of country-raised mothers dis
course to their daughters on the evils
of dancing, while knitting wool sox for
the boys, and where the devil is always
pictured as wearing a swallow-tailed
coat.
Luther Nickels of Hill county, a
leading pro, who was in the chair
when the vote was taken also voted
to strike out the Inaugural ball, but
this was to be expected in view of his
long and bitter fight on the univer
sity final ball, which has thus far
been unsuccessful.
Opposed to Dancing.
The Stamps resolution declared
that the people of Texas, as a whole,
are opposed to dancing and opposed
the charging of an admission fee to
the galleries on the night of the
inaugural ball. It also referred to the
custom of the governor kissing the
Bible in the hall and declared that
the place was far too sacred to be the
scene of revelry, drinking and gamb
ling.
This reference to drinking brought
out a sharp speech from Judge Rob
ertson, who declared that the ball is
always held in the hall anti is given
by the citizens of Austin in honor of
the incoming governor and that the
resolution was a reflection upon both
the governor and the people of Aus
tin. He offered a substitute giving the
people of Austin the use of the hall
for the ball.
"I never voted for Colquitt,”' he
said, "but I believe we should do him
all honor as the incoming governor.”
It was then that Stamps disclaimed
any intention to reflect upon Colquitt
in his resolution. In answer to a ques
tion he said:
"I have heard that whiskey is sold
in these ante-rooms during the ball
and that gambling is sometimes in
dulged in.”
This created a laugh in some quar
ters and Schluter of Travis county, in
replying to it. said:
"Whoever gave Mr. Stamps this in
formation is an infamous liar. There
is no price of admission to these balls
and no drinking. I have attended four
of them myself.”
Singleton and Dotson spoke against
Stamps' resolution, the latter assert
ing that it was beneath the dignity of
a representative to vote for it as it
was a reflection upon the office of
governor and upon an ancient cus
tom.
Then up rose Hamilton of Chil
dress and disclaiming intent to reflect
upon anybody, said:
“This hall belongs to all the peo
ple of Texas and the Christian people
are against the dance. This is their
property as well as ours. It is the
property of the preachers and their
congregations. I represent a class of
people who are opposed to dancing
and in their behalf and that of hun
dreds of thousands of others in Tex
as. am opposed to turning their hall
into a dance hall.”
"Those who oppose this ball are
honest,” said Terrell of Cherokee.
“There is a right way to conduct
things and it is to have a respectable
reception, without any swallow tailed
coats or low neck and short sleeved
dresses, where all the people can
shake hands with their governor and
be madeto feel at home.
More Moral Uplift
“I tell you that the next governor
of Texas will be elected on a wave
of great moral uplift and will himself
be against the inaugural ball.” “No
sir,” answering Terrell of Bexar. “I
never brought this question up before
and think it is unwise to bring it up
now, but as it is up I take my stand
with the great moral majority of Tex
as people.”
He then offered his amendment to
strike out the provision for the ball.
It was defeated by a vote of 88 to 32.
and these are those who went upon
record "for the uplift” in the face of
certain defeat:

SHOULD HAVE PARDON
BOARDS, SAYS WHILE
Associated Press.
Syracuse. N. Y., Jan. 13. —Former
Governor Horace White believes the
right of executive clemency In the
various states of the union should
rest with tribunals specifidilly equip
ped, not with governors. In viewing
his records of pardons he says in a
statement over his signature:
"In my opinion the governors
should be relieved from the arduous
duty of investigating, considering and
deciding on applications for pardons,
commutations, reprieves and restora
tions to citizenship. The work and
responsibility should be vested in tri
bunals especially equipped by train
ing and fitness to undertake this im
portant and laborous work."
During his brief term as governor
—only a month —Mr. White says that
of the hundred applications for par
dons he found nqt one which seemed
to justify itself and that accordingly,
he issued no pardons and no reprieves.
