country is driving the prize fight
ers from his last refuge in the
United States. There is now,
probably, no state or territory in
the union where a prize fight could
successful! be pulled through.
Govenor Culbertson showed great
moral courage in downing the mob
of gamblers and ruflians who clam
ored to make the Lone Star state
the battle ground for the Corbett
Fitzsimmon's mill. The legis
lature convened by Govenor Cul
berson acted promptly and decis
ively. Within three hours after
organizing that body passed a law
making prize fighting a felony.
The expedition with which this act
was passed is a monument to the
moral sentiment of the common
wealth of the great State of Texas.
It is evidence that the people every
where recognize the demoralizing
effect of prize fighting and its at
tendant vices upon public morals.
