Sheriff Forbes, who left here one
night last week on an official trip to
Northwest Texas and Oklahoma,
was not able to reach home until
Wednesday night on account of
heavy SHOWS which have impeded
railroad traffic in the panhandle
country. Mr.. Forbes said the whole
face of the earth on the plains was
covered with snow and all railroad
cuts were filled with it. Snow plows
are kept in operation cleaning out
the cuts so that trains may get thru.
He said in some places the snow was
eight and ten feet deep.

Style of Test Case.

"Ex-parte w. c. Woods, from
Orange county, is the style of the
cause in which the Notwithstanding
liquor law is knocked out. After
quoting the act of the thirtieth leg
islature, giving status to the var
ious so-called Notwithstanding malt
beverages, the court holds that the
law is unconstitutional because the
taxation imposed is not uniform
throughout the state, and because
the proviso in the act of the legisla-
ture authorizes druggists to sell
uno, ino, etc, in a local option ter
ritory, without paying any tax. That
portion of the act referred to, is
quoted as follows: "This section
shall not apply to regular druggists
or pharmacists who, as suoh keep
for sale as a part of a regular stock
such proprietary remedies as malt
extracts, malt medicines and malt
and iron, used exclusively as medi-
cine and not as beverage.
The court applies the test to the
law that if a druggist was indicted
for selling uno, or any other bever
ages, he could not be convicted un-
der the proviso of this act.

"In our eagerness to improve exist
ing conditions we must not take from
the citizen his individual liberty or
responsibility. We must not erect OBJ
stacles to the legitimate extension of
our commerce and industry, to whose
development the welfare of our en-
ployers and wage earners is SO close
ly related; we must not weaken the
pioneer spirit of our peopley the spirit

welded together scattered colonies
into vigorous young republic; that
threy great highways of communica-
tion across the continent; that built
towns and cities and great states
the spirit of Initiative and self-reliance
and sacrifice that has made this
mighty nation what it is today.
True it is that "the chief problem
of civilization, from the political point
of view, has always been how to Sc
cure concerted action among men on
great scale without sacrificing To-
cal independence. Equally true is it
that We must deal with the present
aspects of that problem as they af-
feet our people and with all of our
perplexing problems of government
and business, of individual and ma
tional well-being, with an open-mind-
ed appreciation of their difficulties.
with firm resolve that their solution
shall be reached under constitutional
restraints, through the factors OF i'm
partial justice and American common
sense"
