Fort Stockton Boasts of the Only Place in Great Area
Where the Traveller May Get His Dram-West
Texas Has Prohibition and It Prohibits Slow
the G. @. D. Law Worked and How It
Was Given Death Blow

Fort Stockton. Texas. Jan. "a
Fort Stockton claims to have the only
legal saloon in the largest area Of
country in the United States.
Tt is 200 miles from this point 10
any other locality where liquor is sold
they say. Local option has done it.
Every other town in west Texas in all
that area of 200 miles each way has
voted out the saloon. but Fort Stockton
holds to the traditions of the frontier
trading post and still sells liquor. It
is so miles TO Monahans, the nearest
railroad point, and even that place
does not boast an ice plant, so that
the man who wants mint jUlep or
cocktail must take It without the tin
kle OF ice and the wayfarer who wants
TO see the frosted drops Of liquid on
the outside of his bottle of beer be-
fore he pulls the cork, will have to
apply elsewhere Ice at Fort Stock
ton is So a hundred pounds and saloon
keepers cannot afford to buy it to
accommodate over particular customers.
The best that can be done is to put
the bottles in the adobe cellar beneath
the little saloon and keep them down
to the temperature that nature and
the prevailing conditions will allow.
And when 1t is known that the tenn
perature IN Fort Stockton on January
day is often above so degrees and
people go in swimming in the open air
in Comanche creek the year round, it
may well be understood that drinks
sold over the bar are not cold enough
TO make the teeth chatter.
No Ice, But No Difference.
But the race Of sturdy pioneers who
founded Fort Stockton in the days
when soldiers from the old fort that
gave the place its name had to escort
every incoming and outgoing freight
wagon, and their equally sturdy de-
scendants of today, care little for the
ice. They want their drink when they
want it and they want no prohibition;
they have the former and don't have
the latter. The ice is a matter for 9TH
ers, not for them.
Mart Adams bears the distinction of
being the owner and chief dispenser
Of refreshments at this most notable
saloon, and, just to show that they

AN ENABLING ACT WITHOUT STRINGS

We believe that the Virginia Baptist Assoc
cation In demanding an "Enannng Act with
no strings tied to it voiced the sentiment OF
the people of virginia
The people have right TO be heard on the
temperance question and upon any other qaes-
ton that they may desire to have referred 10
them for settlement.
We know of no man, combination Oh men,
no machine or no several machines, as big
as the people and we know of no more flag ant
violation of the rights of the people than the
refusal OF the last General Assembly to give
them an opportunity to vote on Statewide Pro-
hibtion.
The question Of what thinks as to the
aav,sahility O. Statewide Prohibition has moth
ing to do with the passage OF an Enaoiihs
Act The people demand such an act as
matter of right--not of favor--and we believe
that the men who have been elected to the
legislature of Virginia this year VIII pass
clear cut measure giving the people OF the State
opportunity to express their wishes on the
s,,biect of Statewide Prohibition.
