 The afternoon Texarkanian received by the same mail and in the same handwriting, the following note:
 Do not publish anything else about the Kuklux Klan or we will get you. Do not disregard. This warning means you Kuklux Klan Committee" !"
 A third note appeared on the plate glass window of a Broad street drug store, warning loafers and idlers who congregate whereabouts and make re- marks about passing women, to dis continue the practice immediately or they would be given attention.
 It is now generally believed that an organization of the invisible empire really exists here, but nobody seems able to throw any light on it's mem bership.

OIL SHOWING IS FOUND
 IN HALE TEST NO. ONE
Progress fin Hale and Steele Wells Has Been Good Since the
 Last Report.

From reports from both the Hale and the Steel wells since the early part of the week they have been speeding 'em up and making hole. If if has been race it has been neck and neck affair.
 Steele No. 1, south of Ashdown, with it's heavy standard string of tools nos ed up with the speeding Dock O'Neal and his fast travelling rotary Thursday and then took the lead. Friday morn ing Steele No. 1 was down S30 feet, having made 216 feet in the last 20 hours of drilling. They are using double shifts at the Steele well.
 Penetrate Water Sand.
 At the S3O foot level the Steele we'll had nenetrated water sand. Drill ing was stopped at this point at which the 12a inch string of casing will be set in order to cut out the water, which had risen in the hole. The cas- ing. which had been following the dr:li. will be lifted out. The hole will then be reamed after which the casing will be put back and set below the water line. It will take several days to complete this work and be ready to resume drilling The formation so Tar encountered have been in line with what was expected and is very satls- factory and encouraging.
 Showing of Oil.
 It was around the 77O foot line that a shallow strata of oil sand was en- countered at Hale No. 1 east of town. The oil could be seen on the water flowing from the well on it's way to the slush pit where it accumulated. The showing nor the sand was deemed or sufficient quantities to be worthy or test but was reassurance to the drill CTS that they were on the right trail to the oil pool lower down. The news was not long in reaching town and soon numerous cars were on the way out there and soon numerous enthus- lasts were getting view of the oily streaks Dock, who had so many time sent his drill with unerring aim into the oil pools of Louisiana, was big and fat and smiling as ever, but still "showering Ter down" for more hole like it was just part of the days work, which it is. The sand was mudded off and the drill went on down after what might come next Drilling was not resumed Friday morning, however, the crew being put to work getting all the bits sharp and the other tools and machinery in per- feet order for anything that might de- velope. They reached depth where interesting things are among the pos abilities.

His Masters Voice"
To show his chief that he is politick-
ing just right, Mr.. Mercer suggests a
national court of industrial relations
to handle the present situation. This
is probably his masters voice" doing
the talking. If, however, we had such
a national court, then why not an In
ternational" one? This drops US back
to the Kansas court of industrial rela-
tons with a dull thud."
But the Kansas court of industrial
relations need not wait the coming
crisis for a case.
Twelve thousand miners in Kansas
are idle in a holy protest against the
sanhedrim. Why not put these in
Jail? Is not this number sufficiently
significant to begin with? Why wait
to make a case against prospective
strikers?" The industrial court has
no excuse to await the coming strike
of the railroad employees. Last spring
and during the summer the railroads
cut down whole departments and very
greatly "curtailed it's services" Did
anybody hear even a low whimper
from the industrial court for this vio-
latiCn of law it was created to en-
gorce? No. That was the manage
ment. That was a strike by the rail-
rOS DIS, themselves, as opposed to the
enlT loyes. for the purpose of DESTROY
ing the unions. The industrial court
by Its silence acquiesced in that ne
fartous attempt. and aided and abet-
ted the violation of its own law by be-
ing an accessory before the fact.
Advises Farmer Strike.
After holding up unclean hands in
Erot esque horror at the only remedy
labor has-the strike, Mr.. Mercer adj
Vlses the farmers to go on a strike by
Withholding their stock from market
fer highep prices. a thing directly in
contraYention of both the spirit and
the letter of the industrial court law
that there be continuity of produc-
tion.'
What If the law applied to stock
raising and distribution? Would Mr..
Mercer be jailed for calling a strike"
and that for the purpose of maintain
ing or increasing the price of cattle?
am with Mr.. Mercer in calling this
strike and firmly believe the farmers
are within their rights in Withholding
their products for higher prices Mr.
Mercer declares in effect that when
the industrial court law would make
against my masters business then
it is WRONG, but when it Expresses la
Dor. then it is right. Mr.. Mercer, why
do you not insist, since you are so
proud and have so much faith in the
industrial court, that Mr.. Allen 'sa%
on the JOD ana IN the state and that
he and the industrial court do the
very thing for which the court was
created, settle the crisis now confront
ing the state in the coal industry. Is
not the present trouble existing in the
coal fields of greater concern to the
state than the calling of a strike which
affects only a couple of mines and in
which the court did take action?
But no, Mr.. Howat is in Jail now
and that has been the ambition of the
court and its friends for some time.
Be consistent, Mr.. Mercer, if you
expect support in your possible can
didacy" for governor.
