Struck Salt Water and Gas.
A nice artesian flow of water
was struck in the deep well last
Friday and dri ling was suspend-
ed over Sunday so it would settle
and a test could be made of the
water. Later a strong flow of gas
broke in and the water appealed
to be as salty as in the first well.
Drilling was resumed this week
and Thursday the drill was down
about 1400 feet.

Senator Bailey’s Letter,
There appeared in the daily
papers the past week, a letter
from United States Senator
Bailey, written last December
and addressed to Rev. W. H.
Williams, Belton, Texas, in
which he stated that he is opposed
to statewide prohibition, because
the law would not be enforced in
certain counties in this state, un-
less it is done by ofliicers outside
of their boundaries. He also says
in effect, the fbilure to enforce
one law will serve to brio* in dis-
n pute all other laws. For these
reasons he will cast his vote to
continue the present policy of
dealing with tho saloon question.
This means, of course, saloons
about as they are now, controlling
the politics of their localities and
menacing the State.
The Senator’s objection to
state-wide prohibition is just as
good against any other state-wide
law. It is notorious that the
civil Sunday law is violated in
many sections of this state; those
again-t murder is widely violated,
especially in saloon centers and
territories; the law against theft
is violated all over the state, the
law forbidding the sale of liquor
to minors, habitual drunkards,
on Sunday, having screens in
front of saloon doors, allowing
gambling in saloon-, etc., etc.,
ha- wholesale violati ms where-
ever saloons exist. The plain
fact is. that whereever saloons
exist, they control public officials
and violate the law at will with
impunity. Not only liquor laws
■we violated, but all other laws
that hamper men in following
their likes and dislikes.
If every saloon in Texas were
closed up tomorrow, there could
not possibly be as mm h violation
of law as we have today with th»5
saloon-. Saloons are daily law
breakers and most of them violate
law .-cores of times every 21
hours. Here is what Brewer.-*
Journal say-:
‘‘No matter what “laws’’ may
be made to cripple the beve'aga
industries of our present time,
they cannot and will not be ob-
served by those managing these
industries, in order to maintain
the status of his respective in-
dustry, the producer and distri-
butor simply could not observe
the laws which would cripple him?
The effect of this is to break
down all law enforcement and
bring our whole system of law
into di-repute. As every inetelli-
gent man must know, saloons
are in combination with every
other species of law breaking on
the face of the earth.
