The Snyder signal. (Snyder, Tex.) 1887-????, 1913-11-21
TO THE PEOPLE OF
SCURRY COUNTY

Recently two young men living
twenty five or thirty miles from Wa
co and being on their way to that
city were requested by neighbor to
bring him out a bottle of whiskey, he
handing them the money at the time
with which to make the purchase.
They complied with his request,
bought the whiskey for him with his
money and took It to him without
any pretense of secrecy and with
out the least idea that they were
violating any law, Just as many other
law abiding citizen might have done.
When the grand jury convened again
they were indicted and there seems
to be no chance whatever for them
to avoid being convicted and senten-
ced to the penitentiary for from one
to three years. The law under which
they were indicted was passed by the
legislature this year and went into eff
feet July l, 1913, and reads as fol-
lows:
Sec. 3-"Except as otherwise pro-
vided I'm this Act, II shall be unlaw-
full for any person, firm or corpora
ton, or any officer, agent or employe
thereof, to ship. transport, carry or
deliver any intoxicating liquor from
any point in the State, to any other
person, firm or corporation, or any OF
ficer, agent or employe. thereof with
in this State" the penalty providing
one to three years in the penitentiary.
This law is on page 1876 OF the Acts
of the 33rd Legislature. Until the oc-
currence mentioned had no idea
there was such a law and realize
that many good citizens are likely to
violate same without knowing Il.
While stand for the enforcement OF
every law attempting to put down the
liquor traffic, ! should greatly regret
seeing one OF our own good citizens
sent to the penitentiary for unwilling
ly doing something which not one

Austin, Texas, Dec. T. CotIcrdam
washed out" is the usual headline for
items concerning the dam now being con-
structed across the Colorado river near
Austin. Mr.. Bartholomew. OF the City
Commission, who has been keeping up
with the progress of the matter. has at
last thrown up his hands i'll despair, say
ing that although he is an expert account
ant he can't keep track of the n,lmbe OF
coflerdams that he rOily Colorado has
spirited off to the sea. 1t seems that the
rock bottom of the river ut the dam does
not admit the use of the ordinary steel
sheet piling for cOfferdams, such us was
used. for instance, in raising the historic
Maine. Dirt dams wash away unless
they are built up above the levels of the
flood. and so far the construction com
pany has not been able to get them up
ont of the danger level. The Colorado
river has been exceedingly eccentric this
season, sweeping down with little or no
notice, and small regard for the well-laid
plans of mice and men.
Austin i'm the meantime is hugging this
'1ttcring JUNCTION TO its municipal bosom:
that when the dam is completed, be 1t
amid next April's flowers. or in the good
old summer time. or when the russell
leaves begin to percoiate through the at
O. he next football season.
Whenever that happy consummatiOn
shall have been reached. she will have the
most extensive artificial lakes in Amer
lea. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick
and so this unfortunate confederation
of fortuitOus delays has served to de
press the gay spirits of many faithful
boosters of the Capitol City.

THIS SESSION NOTEWORTHY.

THlS ii J..
More instances might be cited. all Of
which go to demonstrate that this forth
coming session will be noteworthy in a
financial way. Not only is the cost of liv-
ing on the rise for the federal government.
as well as the individual citizen. but
there are constantly more things to pay
for. Democratic efforts to eliminate the
marty from this predicament may be
looked for right from the start Of the
session. with almost a certainty that they
cannot succeed. The tariff law has not
reduced the price of necessities to the
consumer. The Democratic administration
has not reduced the cost of government
at Washington. There are two ringing
issues for the campaign, already assured
when Congressional primaries in some
states are nor more than three or four
months away.
AN INTERESTING CONGRESS.
Those who expected Congress would be
uninteresting for the next nine months
already see they are doomed to dlsap-
pointment. 1t promises TO have plenty Of
nepper from the start. There are a half
dozen situations which will be full OF
life and zest. Some very important gov
ernnlental battles are TO be fought out.
II was thought that when tariff and cur
rency were out of the way. Congress and
the President would have little but seconi
rate work teloek after. On the contrary
II seems that the ball is only well opened.
At NJ. reriod for many years has 50 much
general legislation been demanded. There
seems TO be public sentiment back of
these demands. The President, too, will
ask much. With two such factors. there

Snake river in which a runaway
team mired yesterday no doubt pre-
vented an awful tragedy. Otherwise
the team would have plunged into the
raging stream to drown and a boy
the only occupant of the wagon would
have met the same fate.
George W. Gould, former superin-
tendent of Weiser schools, was load
ing some household goods into a car
and had stepped into the car to ad-
just the articles. During his brief
absence his little son remained in the
wagon. Suddenly the team became
frightened and started on it's wild
fight toward the river.

ly the flight was fortunately ended
Help arrived a few minutes later and
it was necessary to pull the team ont
