march OF prohibition. Yet that condi-
ton exists within the great state OF llli-
nois. More than that, how can we expect
law enforcement by men appointed for
the purpose OF building up political
machine whose duty it is to investigate
and report violations of the law, and
who proceed to do nothing except draw
the money on their vouchers? Yet these
things have been done by officers elected
and sworn to enforce the law.
Give us rigid and impartial enforce
ment OF the law and with it will come
better order OF things. Crime of all
kinds, hold-ups, robbery, murder are
often committed because the offender
thinks the law will not be enforced
against him; that those whose duty it is
to enforce the law will not do their duty.
Every year of the duration of the law
against the liquor traffic is filled with
additional proof of its blessings and its
possibilities. 1t is one of the many agen-
cies that is bringing about better or
der Of things.
But what would result If success would
come to those who are seeking the over
throw of these laws against the liquor
traffic? Saloons would open as if by
magic throughout the length and breadth
of the land Drinking would be INDUCED
in as never before Crime would increase
at an astonishing rate. Lawlessness
would reign supreme. With these laws
overthrow. the l. w. W. and all those
opposed to government (which are now

age and increase their efforts to repeal
other laws distasteful to them. No one

HONEST ENFORCEMENT WILL BRING GREAT BENEFITS
(By Hon. Waiter NJ. Province

(By Hon. W al
The Anti-Saloon League has waged its
fight against the liquor traffic mfaltcr-
ingly and with telling effect. Its friends
have been instrumental in adding the
Eighteenth Amendment to our basic law
and the passage of the Nolstead act, to-
gether with many other state laws. all
having for their purpose the annihila
tion of the liquor traffic.
But no lasting good will result from
the passage of these laws unless and
until they are honestly and efficiently en-
forced by men who believe in their en-
forcement. The people have seen to it
that men were elected who voted for the
passage of these measures. Now they
are demanding that the officers whose
duty it is to enforce the laws, perform
their duty. We hear great deal of talk
that the Eighteenth Amendment is a
failure and that it should be repealed !;
that public sentiment enforces laws and
unless there is public sentiment back of
law no attention should be given to its
enforcement No one has the right to
trample under foot the Nolstead Act. or
any other law. So long as it is law it
should be respected and honest efforts
made TO enforce it, It is entitled to and
should he given a fair trial. Further
more, it will nearly always be found
upon investigation that those who talk
loudest against it are in the minority,
but they seem to he i'll the majority by
the noise they make. a few bad men
often terrorize a community and give it
an unsavory reputation, although the
great mass of the people are God fearing
and law-abiding. This law is unpopular
with those who are against its enforce
ment, but the great ma jority OF the law
abiding citizens of this country have full
confidence in this law and they insist
upon its being enforced.
Lawlessness in private life begets law
lessness in public life. Theodore Roose-
welt said that only by rigid and impair
tial enforcement of the law is it possible
to cut out from the body polite the fes-
tering sore of political corruption
II men are elected to public office who
are not in sympathy with the enforce
ment of the law, can we expect that law
to be enforced? No public official can
lie in favor of law enforcement. when he
appoints men to enforce a law who are
not in sympathy with it and who were
saloon-keepers and bartenders until
driven out of their jobs by the onward

BLAZE AT CISCO, UTAH
OIL FIELD
Thousands Of Dollars Worth OF Gas
Goes up In Smoke Before Flames
Are Finally Brought Under
Control

Cisco, Utah,-The fire at the Cisco
gas well Of the Utah Oil Refining
company has been extinguished. Ford
Alexander, specialist in gas freight
ing, arrived at Cisco from California,
set on a charge Of high explosive and
sent the following succinct telegram:
Fire is out"
The powder for the charge was
sent to Cisco Sunday afternoon from
Kenilworth, and the equipment used
by Mr.. Ford was sent TO Cisco Sun
day night. Within a few hours after
he reached the camp the big fire,
which it was believed would be burn
ing at least two more days, was ex-
tinguished. Mr.. Ford exceeded his
own promise by something like forty
eight hours.
There apparently has been no dim
mutton in the 100,000,0 00foot gas
fow, and the management Of the Utah
Oil is hopeful that electrical storms
In the vicinity of Cisco may be de-
ferred week or such a matter until
the casing can be anchored and a con-
troll head applied The plan now In
contemplation involves the cementing
Of the casing from the top, and work
in that end will be started immediate
ly.
1t was announced Sunday that
the site for the second well at Cisco
had been designated II is on section
80. The first wei is on section rs.
Equipment for the second well is
being hurried to the field. Inasmuch
as the road work has been completed
and the water pipe lines laid for the
drilling of the initial well, there will
be but little preliminary work to be
done TO get the second we'll started.
Most of the equipment is at Yelling
ton and can be moved to Cisco in
few days. Probably the biggest de-
lay will be in the erection of the der
rick, but it is probable that the hole
will be spudded in within two to three
weeks.
