of no effect in law. Nor is it easy to see
what remedy there is for the situation.
For it cannot now be set down as GER
tainty that the same amendment would be
adopted second time. Since its adoption
in June the people of Iowa have had op-
portunitY to realize that it does not
operate as they thought it would. In
fact it has been dead letter from the
first in all the places where it was
thought to be most needed, and has only
been observed in the parts which would
have been temperate without it. 1t is,
therefore, possible that the friends of Pro.
hibition, or at least some of them, have
lost confidence in it. Again, the Ohio
election has had tendency to discourage
Prohibition legislation, while the still more
recent Democratic 'stidal wave" must
operate yet more powerfully in the same
direction. Seeing that thes amendment
was originally adopted by 80, 900 majority,
however, it is also possible that there may
be a sufficiently powerful Prohibition SEN

another trial, or let it go. For, as the
case stands, Iowa has no Prohibition law,

themselves of the destruction of the legal
fence, and will proceed to make hay while
the sun shines. Outside of Iowa, how.
ever, it is very certain that Prohibition has
sustained a severe check, which will prob.
ably hinder its advance for a considerable
period.

Mantle in hazardous places at the Interna-

For some time past farmers living on the
line of the Midland Railway and county
roads to the south of said road have had
large quantities of corn stolen from their
fields, and in some instances have lost
almost all of their crop.
1t is necessary that this shond be stoned
at once, and the guilty parties, who are
we'll known, had better look out for them
selves. If all the farmers within fifteen
miles Of Alexandria would look to their
shot guns. and with this ''stimulantn keep
an eye on their corn fields, the country
would soon be too hot for the rogues.
