ciety: has society no right to protect
itself?
The saloon Is next-of-kin to the bro
thel ami the gambling hall; 1T Is a
rendezvous for the criminal element
and the willing tool of the corrupt
politician: has not the body polite
a right TO protect itself from the de-
moraliZation which the saloon works?
The right to drink does not neces-
sarily include the right to demand the
establishment of a saloon. The right
to drink is sufficiently projected by
any arrangement that permits the
reasonable use of liquor under rea-
sonable conditions: and il must De re-
nembered that tae right to drink, like
any other right. can be forfeited. No
thing Is more sacred a a the right
TO life, n yet one may forfeit his
right to life If he uses il in such a
way as to threaten the life of anoth-

may forfeit the right to drink; even

struction. IL Is believed that a good

EXAGGERATED REPORTS
FROM DAYTON OIL WELL.

A number of exaggerated reports
from the Dayton oil we'll have been
circulated in Roswell and it is even
asserted hat the well a turned out
TO be a gusner. Such is not true.
The well is not a gusher. but the oil
does come TO just about the top of
the pipe. Occasionally a burst of gas
will throw out a small quantity of
oil. and gives hopes that eventually
the well may turn out TO be a flowing
one.
A quantity of forty or fifty barrels
of oil has been collected at the we'll
and appears to be of good quality, al
though, of course. it will nave to be
tested and proved.
The following gives the conditions
at the we'll and Is from the Dayton
Echo of yesterday. there being no
change in conditions there since 1t
was printed:
The Hammond well, two AMI a
half miles northeast of town, in which
oil was struck last week is proving
10 be the real thing. The packer
was set the first of the week and the
water shut off from the oil. People
who claim to know something about
oil wells asserted then that the well
would pump from rs to 100 barrels a
day. II was decided, however to drill
until the depth of the oil sand was
reached before making the test of
what II would pump. People who
were at the well yesterday state that
at intervals. as the drilling was 60
ing on. oil would spout as high as
-four feet above the top of the casing
anu sometimes IN quantities of three
or o barrels, ~saturating everything
near with oil.
1t now looks as II no pump will be
necessary to get the oil and 1t is
possible that a real oil gusher will be
the result.
1t is runored here that MI. Ham
mond mas leased the well to the Ros-
well company and has taken stock In
h company but nothing definite
has been learned as to this transac-
ton.
Information has reached here on
good authority hat the Roswell peo-
pie who nav been figuring in the oil
prospects here mean business and
that 10 less tnan two wells are to
be started by them within the next
few days.
Other parties are also becoming in
terested and IL is asserted by some
that I'm two weeks time there will
be no less than a dozen rigs around
Dayton going down after oil.

Considerable surprise was express
ed yesterday by the members of the
Senate Committee at the advanced
conditions they found in and around

such sections as Santa Fe and west
ern New Mexico, and of course they
cannot gain any idea of the cal con
