To tho Citizens of Iowa.

We were appointed Committee to
prepare an address to the Citizens Of
Iowa. by State Temperance Conven-
ton held at Iowa City, for the purpose OF
deglslag means to secure an approval of
the receAlly submitted ProAloItory Liquor
Law. 4 bill has passed both houses Of
the General Assembly and received the
Signature Of the Governor, providing for
lhe submission of the question to you at
the coming April election, whether the E
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor shall be prohibited by Law.
The time has come when every true
friend OF temperance Is called to exert
himself -- the next election will form an
era 10 the annals of your State. Never
before has there been time when the
means were in your hands to effec,ually
suppress the traffic in Alcohol. Your
representatives IN the General Assembly
terreCeI.ng your sunfages, and render
ing 10 you their pledges in return, might
cater 70 the mystic power of Rum, CT the
executive hlaek up the wheels OF Legsla-
ton By his veto 1t is now, however, be-
yond the reach Of both, and ii it fails to
become a law OF the land it will owe its
defeat to the people. The victory, for
which the friends Of Temperance have
long and assiduously labored, is now
more than half accomplished. The
numheress influences tha. have been
exer,cd to defeat the measure, regardless
Of popular demand, have all been warded
of by It's advocates indeed we may
now congratulate ourselves on the fact
that the pola. from whence the most
danger was expected has been passed.
Although il hardly admitted Of doubt
lat what Us tt,euds Throughout tia state,
IN Numbers, arr in the ascendsney, yel
such has beea the nlgnty struggle 0. the
opposition iii the Legislature. that for
long time in that body lis fate was doubt
full
Among tie men who most strenously
oppose the enactment Of a prohihfory
law, are found those whose business de-
pends upon It's defeat, hence the violent
manner OF their opposition; hence, also,
the support which portion Of the mem
bers Of the last Legislature rendered to
their master ! Rum. They, no doubt
believe that the support Of men whose
business and livelihood were depending,
is worth more than those who are in
naenced by principle alone acting under
that conclusion, they yen,ured to oppose
the will Of the majority for the approval
Of a lew, who promised an ardent future
friendship. Then, we say, tina. the
friends OF temperance should rejoice
that the law is beyond the danger oi

Shay'nc +ko FACE.

DR.. K. Sanburn. OF hndcver, writes to
the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal
quite an interesting letter in favor OF wear
ing the beard. lie takes the 9round ,ha,
the custom Of shaving the beard among
nations is always attended or followed by
marked deterioration in the physical
organization, no, only Of the existing race
Of people, but of the race 10 come, and
quotes examples from history to support,
his conclusions.
He says that the aboriginal inhabitants
of cur soil and climate were once brave
powerful and numerous; bu, they waged
war against nature by uprooting the
beard from their faces, and consequently
grew more effemina,e with every gen.
Grafton, uutil they became an easy prey
to their enemies and are themselves up
rooted from the face of the earth. He
cites the Chinese, too, as people who
have been shorn OF their locks aud of their
strength together, till as nation, they
have only mere nominal existence; and
he says of the Abrahamc race, whose
creed It is to preserve unmarried "the
corner Of their boards that he nr@eg saw
4 eass ot psarerlsn, Or premature da@-ase
among then. He says.
The hahit OF shaving is not OF orig II
divine as thousands seem to think, but
quite the reverse. The ancient patriarchs,
the holy prophets, Chris, and his disciples,
and the earlier and probably purer
Christians, deemed it violation of their
nature. Alexander emf reed it upon his
army that they might thereby gain a
bloodier conquest. The nobility Of Spain
adopted i, through the courtesy Of their
beardless prince. The mass were Of
course subjected to the humiliation pro-
cess bu. expressed their repugnanee to
the outrage ia the well known proyerb
Since we have lost our boards we
nave LOST our souls, that is ourselves
our identity. We are rather soulless
slaves, than the men our Maker designed
US to be.
DIR. Sanburn concluded with calling
upon every free bora son Of America to
shake off all conventtonalllies which op-
press humanity, and esp- ciaIy such as
lasidously tend 10 vi,late and depress the
true maniincss OF man, and he lmplores
all mothers, sisters aud wives to second
these efforts and exercise their good taste
in creating and sustaining such purely
American habits and fashions as will to
| the end of time render them and thei,
| descendants more excellent in all the
relations Of life.
