poo, Hall LAW Holds Good

II is understood the question Is to
be carried to the Supreme Court OF
the United States. In discussing the
question Judge Wilson alluded TO
certain rulings that have been made
by the Supreme Court and considers
that the matter is well settled. The
Supreme Court classifies occupations
as useful and non-useful and Judge
Wilson says:
"Our opinion is that pool hall op'
Grafton comes under the latter class
of occuretions. If the pool halls be-
come harmful vicious or bad the
power OF the State can be extended
to absolute prohibition for them
Pool halls are not inherently bad
they are not necessarily vicious.
Some are bad some are not, but the
question implies an issue Of fact. We
have not considered facts presented
in this case. II was not necessary
Pool halls are recognized as nonuse-
full occupations and may become
vicious. The Supreme Court has said
in its opinion that no proof is requir-
ed to establish the fact that the tea
dency of pool halls is TO become VIC
ious. Our view is that whether they
are harmful in Texas is question OF
fact for the people of the state.
through their Legislature to deter
mine. On its very face. this law
shows that the people already have
decided that pool halls are not for
the moral uplift Of the State. and
they should be prohibited in the in
terest of public morals. They have
passed on that fact. and II is not our
province to go behind their finding
which is conclusive.
such being our Wow we deny the
application for temporary injunction
and do not continue in effect the tenn
porary restraining order issued last
spring. This State law, therefore.
will go into effect Immediately on
the fling of this decree"

Woman suffrage Upheld in Court

Austin. Dec. 13.-The constitu1
tionality of the Texas woman pri~
mary suffrage act was upheld by the
Third court of civil appeals today
when the decision of the lower cour,
in the case of Tom NJ. Hamilton Vs.
Lee r. Davis, tax collector OF NC
Lehman county. was affirmed. The
plaintiff has fifteen days in which to
file motion for new trial.
In addition to upholding the law
the court held that Tom M. Hamil-
ton was not entitled to bring suit Tor
Injunction TO restrain the tax collect
or from issuing poll tax receipts 10
women. as he has a complete remedy
by statute for contesting the propos-
ed election.
In discussing the constitutionality
of the law. the court cited the opin-
ion OF the supreme court in the case
of Waples VS.. Marrast. in which that
court ruled that primary Is not an
election within the terms of the con
stitution. but is simply an election
held by the members OF a political
party for the purpose OF nominating
candidates.
The court further held that the
qualifications of voters as fixed by
the constitution did not apply to or
govern the qualification of voters Il
primaries. but that the legislature
and the political parties may add ad-
ditonal qualifications to those fiXea
by the constitution.

DERRICK AND MA
CH|NERY BURNED

The Snyder OIL Association was
burned out about $50 o'clock last
Monday night. The derrick. sheds
and all light tools we're totally de-
stroyed. The engine Is ruined. The
boiler which was shielded some dis
tance away was not damaged and the
big oil tanks and about 1000 feet OF
wire cable are In tact. All other
stuff is lost. There Is suspicion that
the place was set on fire. Mr. Pax
ton states that he had left there just
little while before the fire was dis
covered.
The directors are thinking over
what to do next and there seems to be
sentiment generally that the ef-
forts to get a we'll should be kept up.
Mr.. Lacy says the boys have worked
hard and will do so again and we
cannot afford to quit now with a hole
40 feet deep.
The delay worries Mr.. Lacy. He
says we are going to have an oil well
yet but this calamity will delay the
accomplishment Mr.. Rosser states
that he cannot say yet what viii be
done and will await full considera-
tion of all facts and conditions.

The Old Christmas Spirit
Released at request OF friends'

Released at request OF iriehus' ''''
II was the day before Christmas
for poor and rich alike. In a tene-
ment OF one of those wretched build
ings in New York, in one room cola
and without light, lived young Wild
ov with three children.
On this morning she sat over an
old gas stove. which was barely large
enough for the heating of one, cold
cheerless room. The walls we're bare
and cheerless. In one corner was
bed of sacks and quilts, while a chair
and table completed the furnishings
of the room.
The old gas stove was barely large
enough to heat the room. The wom-
an sat huddled over it holding the
oldest of the children, little girl OF
about six years of age. Wearing the
very poorest of clothes the Other two
children sat around their mother s
chair with hands clasp and pale faces
They were begging for bread TO eat
The poor woman only sat holding the
fever stricken child, with a despair
ing look in her sunken eyes.
On Fifth Avenue was large ana
beautiful home, where maids and
buttlers vood every where ready to
do the slightest wish or command oil
master ana mistress. Up stairs in a
well-furnisned room sat another
mother talking with her only child
about their plans for the day The
woman was of a large. well-built
form and her face was beautiful. The
little girl was perhaps ten years Ola
She was fair with long-curling brown
hair and brown eyes, and richiy
dressed. "Mother. you promised,
she was saying. The proud mothers
brows puckered as she replied ="
will go this once Rosemond.' and she
rose and rang for the maid.
The little girl ran TO her own pret-
