The Law Enforcement Leaoue.

The Law Enforcement League
held a meeting in the court house
Thursday night. The attendance
was greater than anticipated owing
to the excessive heat. The express
ions of the attendants were encOur-
aging. There was ready subscrip-
ton of such amounts as each indi-
Vidual would subscribe. The pur-
pose of the league is to cooperate
with the officials in the enforce
ment of the law. This is not a dis
credit of the officials, but is rather
as an assurance of the moral sup
port of all citizens who stand for
law and order. 1t may be said that
SuCl encouragement is welcomed
by the officers who are charged with
the execution Of the law. A good
officer is made to feel comfortable
when he has the assurance of the
support OF citizens who are organ
lied to assist directly or indirectly
i'll the enforcement of law. The
membership of the league is opened
to every law-abiding citizen of this
community.

NIVIAN'S PROGRESS
Is Recognized as the Center of the
CahdO Oil Field.

The town OF Vivian, says the Wv
ian Times, is now recognized as The
center of the Cadd0 oil field. as the
concentration and distributing point.
Mr.. ;. B. FraWI"y, representing
Kansas City capitalists purchased
block 3 i'll Christian Heights from
the Vivian Land Company on the
Kansas CITY Southern trackagc for
the purpose Of erecting a modern
20-tOn ice plant and cold storage
vaults. The structure will be up
tO-date in every detail and con-
StruCted Of concrete and Steel In
conjunction with the ice plant will
be well equipped carbonating and
bottling plant. These plants VII
fill long felt want for Vivian. They
were attracted here by the cxeep-
tional distributing advantages and
the cheap gas for fuel
TIE Progressive League deserves
gr, at credit for securing tn plant
as there are many good !hingS il
store for Vivian. So keep the good
W, rk going.
Several parties are here looking
over the situation to make arrange
ments to install a waterworks and
sewerage system. AS Vivian is in the
deep water belt it is bound to be a
paying investment for the owners
and will improve the sanitary con-
dijions Of Vivian, and many families
will be attracted to Vivian instead
Of Texarkana or Shreveport, as Wv
ian can boast of every modern con-
VeuienCe that either city affords.
The Progressive League secured
the J. B. Whjttle Sheet Metal Works
for Vivian. This plant is now To-
Gated in Shreveport.

cuLRERsoN REsENTs CHARGE
BY Smoot That House Tries to Throw
Printing Expense on Senate.

Washington. June 6.--The charges
that the Democratic House is trying to
reduce it's own printing bills and swell
those of the Senate was made today
by Senator Smoot of Utah, chairman
of the joint committee on printing.
The accusation followed request by
Senator Culberson for the printing as
a Senate document of the report of the
minority of the Senate committee ON
Judiciary on the absorption by the
United States Steel Corporation of the
Tennessee Coal & Iron Co. which re-
port was submitted in 1909. In pre-
senting his request, Mr.. Culberson
stated he did so ''at the request of
several members of the House
Smoot objected and in doing so, as
serted there was an effort on the part
of the House to compel most of the
printing for Congress to be done in
the Senate.

TO CORRECT AN ERROR.
Pure Drug Act to Be Amended to Pre-
vent Mis- statements on Medicines.

Washington, June 6.-Inforrnal con-
ference win be held shortly by sena-
tors who wish to so amend the pure
food and drug act of 1905 as TO make
it apply to mis- statements about the
curative effect of medicines as well as
mis- statements about the ingredients.
The supreme court of the United
States May % held that the law did
not prohibit mis-statementS as to cur
alive effects. No amendment to the
act has yet been introduced in the
Senate for the reason that senator's de-
sired to read the dissenting opinion of
Justice Hughes. which was not avail
able until today. II is probable that
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
will introduce the amendment.
In his opinion Justice Hughes de-
clares it is plain that Congress in
tended that the law should prohibit
downright falsehoods" in regard to
the curative effect of medicines but not
matters of opinion or the contrariety
of views among medical practitioners.
