GETTING GASOLINE.
One of the great needs of San Antonio
at all times and especially at this time is
some arrangement through which gasoline
can be obtained after sunset. That a city
of nearly 200.000 people should be unable
to secure power for automobiles after
dark is utterly ridiculous.
The city and the territory adjacent to
it are probably destined in the near future
to see a considerable degree of oil excite-
ment. It is even possible that there may
be an oil boom here. During this time
whether it is real boom or merely excite-
ment —men will be traveling out into the
country and returning at all hours of the
dav and night. They will be leaving the
city in the early hours of the morning and
they will be leaving irthe early part of the
night. There will not be a single hour
of the day when majf* automobiles will
not be leaving for some Motion of the
country around San On many
of these excursions large 4um» of money
will depend it is stating nothing but the
simple truth to say that it is easily possi-
ble that the inability to secure a proper
supply of gasoline may result in great an-
noyance inconvenience and even finan-
cial loss to the person who is anxious to
make a trip or keep an engagement.
It may be possible for a man to protect
himself' against the inability to secure
gasoline on Sunday but for a man who
has made a hurried trip into the city and
is anxious to return at once the thing is
impossible.
The entire situation is absurd. Such
methods are the characteristics of jay
towns and small jay towns at that. San
Antonio is the largest city in the south-
ern part of the United States between the
Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean
and yet she cannot furnish a pint of gaso-
line to anybody after dark.
This city has grown up physically and
she should not allow her mental equip-
ment to lag behind. Only small towns
have small town methods.
KNOCKING OUT “ANTI” VOTES.
The Prohibitionists have claimed since
the beginning of the war that they were
working for the good of the soldier and.
in fact the welfare of the fighting man
has been one of their strongest arguments.
The movement to make prohibition nation
wide had its inception in the assertion
that it was a necessary measure to enable
the United States to win the war. How
the Prohibitionists—especially those of
Texas—were concerning themselves about
the rights of the soldiers who were fight-
ing for them across the Atlantic is now
beginning to appear.
The people of Texas will remember that
the last Legislature passed a bill exempt-
ing soldiers from the necessity of paying
poll taxes. This meant that any soldier
who was in France at the time he would
have been called upon to pay his poll tax.
had he been in civilian life could vote at
any election or in any primary by merely
producing proof that at the time of pay-
ing poll taxes he was in the service of his
country abroad.
The bill failed to become a law because
it was vetoed by Governor Hobby.
With the last week ten men in one of
the national guard regiments of Texas
have asked for their discharge and every
one of these men has declared in writing
to the commanding officer of his company
that he is disinclined to longer serve
Texas in a military capacity when the
state of Texas has deprived him of his
right to cast a vote in the prohibition elec-
tion that is approaching.
No canvass of the returned soldiers has
as yet been conducted and it is impossi-
ble to say how many of them favor pro-
hibition and how many are not in favor of
it. Ilie general opinion is however that the
greater number are opposed to prohibi-
tion.
Take for example the San Antonio
men who have within the last few days re-
tamed from France—the 131st Field
Artillery and the 111th Trench Mortar
Batter'. Il is fair to assume that the
THURSDAY.
majority of them arc opposed to prohibi-
tion because the great majority of voters
in and around San Antonio arc opposed
to it and by a simple application of the
law of averages it is practically certain
that the majority of these men will be
against it.
Everyone of these soldiers has been dis-
franchised by his state while he was. in
the national service abroad. Ihe action
of Governor Hobby has knocked out just
that manv votes that would hac c been
counted against prohibition.
The facts in the case call for no par-
ticular discussion. They speak of them-
selves with sufficient clearness but it is
becoming evident whom the soldiers must
thank for the loss of their votes and be-
coming extremely plain why the action
that deprived them of the right to vote
was taken.
ACCUSING MR. BAKER.
If Germany had won the war. the
charge that Secretary Baker aided dis-
ioval persons to evade military service
could not have been disposed of except
by a formal hearing. Since the allies won
the war and the United States had no
little part in the enterprise the question
presents itself in a different light. One
mav even consider the possibility that
Mr' Baker’s "irregular conduct” facilitated
the winning of the war.
To class members of the I. .Y ■ and
other malcontents as "conscientious ob-
jectors” was certainly not “regular in
the technical sense. As a proposition in-
dependent from the efficient prosecution
of the war they deserve severer punish-
ment than that prescribed for mere objec-
tors with conscientious scruples against
war; for. while a conscientious objector's
intentions are unwholesomely negative
those of an anarchistic person arc dan-
gerously positive. The objector simply
doesn't want to fight for his country; the
anarchist would betray his country to an
enemy if he thought that by doing so he
might gain his end.
Suppose the United States army sent
to France to fight in defense of demo-
cratic government had been composed
partlv of anarchists. To say the least the
effect would have been to lower the
morale of the army which as everyone
knows by this time was a highly im-
portant factor in the achievement of our
troops.
Mr. Baker’s purpose it would seem
was to keep dangerous elements out of
the army. Upon what grounds might a
member of the I. W. W. have been barred
from service at the front where his pres-
ense would not only have done our army
r.o good but might easily have menaced
the expedition?
There was a law governing the dis-
posal of conscientious objectors and
Secretary Baker seems to have availed
himself of it more as a means of protect-
ing the army against the baneful influence
of malcontents than as a means of giving
the anarchistic persons the treatment
which their cases deserved.
Tha critics of Mr. Baker should get
together on their charges. One group
says that he is to blame for alleged dras-
tic methods practiced by courts-martial.
Another charges that he has been "too
easy on” conscientious objectors under
the court-martial system. It is to be noted
that the man who is trying to make the
most of the latter charge was himself a
member of a court-martial that is said to
have imposed the severest penalties for
small infractions of the law.
Probably the whole truth of the mat-
Iter is that Secretary Baker who is not
L military man. was simply trying to meet
। a condition without conforming to mili-
tary theories. However that may be the
important fact is that we won the war.
and the high morale of our army com-
partively free as it was from the influence
of malcontents had no little to do with
the success of our military enterprise.
THE NEW GAME LAW.
Rea! sportsmen will see cause for both]
gratification and regret in the provisions
of the new game law enacted by the
Thirty-sixth Legislature. But while the
shortcomings of the measure are negative
its merits are positive. On the positive
side is the conformity with federal game
laws with a slight exception in . the bag
limit on doves. Allowing for the con-
fusion which may result from this differ-
ence hunters should have no difficulty in
observing all the laws affecting them as
a class. Under the former statutes one
had to get expert counsel before taking
the trail and even then in some in-
stances he would have to meet himself
coming back if he observed both sets of
laws for hardly did the open season
under one law begin before the closed
season under the other commenced.
Yet probably the most important fea-
ture of the bill prepared by the game com-
mission was rejected by the legislators.
Mr. Sterrett had formulated an almost
ideal plan under which the hunters could
have their fun and the state conserve
its game at the same time. His idea was
to tax all hunters as a means of obtaining
funds for propagating and distributing
game. The House decided that $2 the
amount of the proposed genera! tax was
too much to impose upon nimrods who
hunted in their back yards or in the
neighbor's alley or anywhere else within
the confines of their respective counties.
The Senate thought that the two-dollar
tax ought to be levied against persons
who hunted off their own lands or
premises. A final decision was reached
with the levying of a two-dollar tax upon
persons hunting outside their own coun-
ties.
This law is not far different from the
one it displaces. The old law provided a
tax of $1.75 to be levied against persons
hunting beyond the limits of their respec-
tive counties and adjoining counties. Thus
the new law simply adds twenty-five cents
to the old tax.
Under the old law the state realized
about $lOOOO annually from hunting
licenses. It may be calculated that about
a seventh more than that approximate
stun will be realized under the $2 tax.
Therefore so far as obtaining funds is
concerned the state is not much better
off as a result of the enactment of the
new law.
Mr. Sterrett thinks however thaf a
good start has been made in the right
direction. It docs appear that the public
by reason of the publicity given to the
game commissioner’s plan has begun to
see the need for a system of control that
will conserve game while giving a square
deal to hunters indiscriminately With the
idea established for utilizing the state
convict farms and islands in the gulf for
propagating game the value of systematic
distribution of game will doubtless be-
come’more and more obvious. Perhaps the
Legislature will go a step further at the
next session and enact a law which will
enable the state to “cat its game and
keep it too.” For that in effect would
be accomplished by a measure providing
for the propagation and distribution \>f
wild animals and birds.

ing along the road to the Medina Dam—-

Enigma.
It would be rosy to forgive
If I could but remember!
If I could hear lost love of mine
The music of your cruelties
Could sing their thousand harmonies
And know that love was albdiviue
And pain its sacred ember—
It would be easy to forgive
If I could but remember'.
It would be easy to forget
If I could find lost Sorrow I
If I could kiss her plaintive face
And break with her her oitter bread
Could share again her woeful bed
And know with tears her pale embrace
Make yesterday tomorrow —
!t would be easy to forget
If I could find lost Sorrow!

To the Editor:
Question for “A Girl.” I am just
writing you a few lines "A Girl” ask-
ing you to explain jour complicated
relationship ns you say. Your uncle
marrying your sister mukes a dandy
complicated start between the next gen-
eration this children) end yon. but you
say "Aly mother married my sister’s
father.”
Now is there anything complicated in
that? Aly mother also married my sis-
ter's father but my sister and I arc
blood kin. so hr of course is also my
father. Jf you hive a step-sister it
may be correct. but you did not men-
tion what. You just say your mother
married your sister’s father. Sure every
one Ifows that at least they ought to.
Then why do you say "What relation
am I to myself?” My mother also mar-
ried my sister’s father but I see noth-
ing complicated in that I can always
answer the question. "Who are you?”
A GIRL WHO KNOWS HERSELF.
AS TO "BUMS” AND “GENTS.”
To the Editor:
A few days ago while on my way to
the city. I was standing in the rear ves-
tibule of the street car. Standing near
by were three soldiers from the Na-
tional army stationed at Camp Travis.
They were holding a conversation re-
garding a sergeant who was an old
regular. One of the three went on to
state that this sergeant was "an old
army bum and a tramp like the rest of
the regular army.”
Now. of course I know the regular
has a bad name but I will venture to
say that there are as many gentlemen
in the regular army as there are in
the National army and another thing
we regular “bums” didn't put Congress
to any trouble to get us. we arc every
day fighting men. I would like to ask
the National army gentleman who
taught him how to take care of himself
m war ami who taught him how to fire
his rifle ami care for it and to prepare
bis meal when it was necessary for him
to do it himself. Why the regular army
bum did nil of this in a very short time
and 1 think if the regular "bum” had
been given a little more time he would
have taught some of the National army
gentlemen how to dress themselves and
not come on the streets with their uni-
forms hanging on them like a shirt
stretched over n broomstick with tin
medals from' one shoulder to the other
across their breast. So I will ask the
National army gentlemen to please give
the regular army "bum” the credit that
is due him. Signed

WANTS A L4)T OF TRUTH.
To the Editor:
As 1 see that my question “Docs
Death End All” hus called out three
different answers from three different
people; with a willingness in my heart
to accept all the truth that I find in
cither one of the answers and to give
credit to whom credit is due and as 1
am not satisfied with the answers 1 ask
for space for a short reply.
1 like the spirit that the writers
manifest toward me and I do not doubt
in the least that each and all of those
writers are perfectly honest iu their
views and think that they have the truth.
Alta N. Goff in her answer tells me
on her own word that "death docs Dot
end all.” Khe s|M>ke it as if she knew
but didn't give inc the evidence on which
she bas<*d Her knowledge.
As for eternal suffering she tells me
that there will be none and that "the
only licit there will ever be is ‘the
second death’ which she says is proved
by raster Russell’s books but accord-
ing to the other two writers there never
could be a "second death” for if they
arc right there is no "first death.”
(2). As for Mr. Leonard Baker’s an-
swer he assures me that "death docs
not end all.” For ’ life never dies but
those who possess life die and that is
the question "docs death end all?’ He
speaks of an endless life for the whole
workl ot' man-kind. Then he argues a
necessity of a "resurrection at the last
day.” The trouble with Air. Baker’s
answer is that he kills one part of his
theory with the other part for what
nerd is a resurrection whore there is no
death? Air. Baker says that by getting
iaith in Jesus Christ that this*eternal
life in us will obtain a hope of eternal
life to be "received in the resurrection
at the last day.” it seems to me that
lie must bo wrong in one case or the
other for if wc live forever or have
a continued conscious existence after
what we call death then why the do-
cossity to come back and re-enter our
old worn-out bodies? According to your
doctrine a man must be born again be-
fore be can learn the truth. Then if this
is true and we arc never born again
who's fault is it? 1 will now ask jou
some more questions. If the spirit man
which you say never dies don't return
to the same old body in the resurrec-
tion then will there not be two men
after the resurrection? If the spirit man
leaves his spirit body that he received
at death and re-enters the body that
he left in the grave then would he
not be one body to many? How about
a physical resurrection anyway?
Now you say that "we read that
God is from everlasting to everlasting
so then if we possess tne spirit of God
we will also exist from everlasting unto
everlasting.” But what about the one
who d<M?s not possets the spirit of God?
According to your reasoning here death
docs end all for the majority of the
human' race for the majority of the
human family who have died did not
possess the spirit oi God.
Mr. Baker says there are two roads
and that one of these roads leads to
Heaven but he did not say where the
other one leads to but 1 take it for
granted that the other road leads to that
awful sizzling hell of eternal misery
which 1 am told by the majority ol
the preachers is in sight and hearing
of those who are playing ring around
the rosey with the angels in heaven.
Could not the text which you refer
to in Rom. 8:11 which says "God will
quicken your mortal body by his spirit”
mean something else besides a resurrec-
tion of the dead body from the grave?
1 like what you say about us not
having to join the same church iu order
to Jive forever for if we had to join
some church in order tn live forever
which nne would wc join?
(3). As for Air. G. Pulsford's an-
swer be makes a more strenuous effort
to answer the question "does death end
all?” than the other writers; in that
ho takes up ca<h question one by one
nod attaches more reasoning to his ef-
fort to answer the questions than the
other writers. 1 find him et one ex-
treme and Alta N. Goff nt the other
extreme. Her theory is that there is
no immortal spirit but she bases her
hope of n future life on n resurrection
from the death while Mr. Pulsford
n»«ks for no resurrection for he believes
that the spirit of man is immortal and
maintains a conscious existence in a
spirit w<.r!d after the death of the body.
Now which one of these extremes is
right or whether cither one of them
are right I do not know I seo no svay
Ifor the man who take* th 0 staml be-
tween the two extremes to be right.
Air. Pulsford makes Hell and Heaven
about the same place in that he calls
either a place ot happiness. He says
that there is no devil only the power
of evil in the will or mind. Admitting
that wc have this power of evil in the
will then what was the cause which
produced this power of evil? Who is res-
ponsible for its existence? Ho tells rue
where to find books that contain the
testimonies of witnesses who "have
•’heard and seen things” that would
have' a tendency to prove to me that
death does not end all. 1 will certainly
avail myself of this opiwutunity and I
w ill certainly weigh Iho testimony of
every witness thou after I do that. 1
may not be satisfied without “teeing
and hearing things” for my own self. 1
would like to believe that you arc right
for the thought that death cuds all is
not a very pleasant thought to me; it
only reflects the dark shadows of the
valley of death over my soul and causes
me to fear and tremble when I think of
the dreadful time when I will have to
bid farewell to life and nil that is near
and dear to me to make the plunge into
eternal darkness and nothingness if
death ends all.
Could not that power or intelligence
or whatever it might be that brought
me into existence without either my
I now ledgo or consent so have arrunged
the law of existence so that I could
live forever? Is it possible that we were
hi ought into a living conscious exist-
ence. without being consulted as to
whether wc would like it or not only
tn be allowed to Hay here long enough
to get climated and acquainted with life
nnd In veil ones and then without our
<*onscnt. to be carried away by death
into annihilation?
There is but one of two answers to
my question it is either "yes” or "no.”
Thon where are the facts. I can not
believe in eternal life after death just
because somebody else says that they
believed it. I can not appease my hunger
with the grapes that the Israelites ate
in Palestine three thousand years agn.
If I only knew or had reliable evid-
ence of a spirit world as a realm of
groves and gardens seas and moun-
tains forests and birds and national-
ities of men and women having habits
affections and aspirations similar to
those they cherished in this world. A
land where the scholar could pursue his
studies where the poet could court di-
vine muses where the geologist cc*.ild
probe newly formed orbs where the
mathematician could calculate immeas-
urable distances where the orator
could discourse in lofty strains of rlo-
querc the grandeur aud glory of this
land of beauty and everlasting life. A
land where the sun would never set
nor the flowers ever fade; a laud where
the iuliabitatnts would never grow old.
or suffer anguish. A land where wc
would not be cnnipcllwl to hear the
screams nnd erics of our loved ones in
a lake cf fire and brimstone forever.
A land where I and my neighbors
could meet our soldier sons who died
on the battlefield in far away France
what a grand thought it would be. Such
evidence would be as cold waters to a
thirsty soul.
Through the harsh noise” of our day
Could n low. sweet prelude find its way :
Through clouds of doubt ami creeds of
fear
Could a light break through calm and
clear.
And give us the unmistakable evidence
nf an eternal <’onscioiis existence in a
land of pure delight. Oh. how we would

sists chiefly of paraphrases of the
best known of the classics including a
selection from "Lucia” which he ren-
ders entirely with one hand. As a nev-
clty he offers an imitation of a music
box the silvery tinkling tones of which
are reproduced with remarkable fidel-
ity. The artist's program is not con-
fined to the classics however. Recog-
nizing that success in vaudeville de-
pends upon breadth of appeal he
swings into the jazziest kind of jazz
before he gets through.
The victims ot the blues and the
chronic grouch who sees John and Win-
nie Hennings “The Kill Karo Kouple”
arc apt to forget their troubles.
