THE LIVELY skirmishing that has
been going on in Iowa for some
weeks past will eliminate in the
voting next Thursday on the pro-
posed constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture and
sale in the state of Intoxicating
liquors. The struggle is being hard
fought, neither party losing point
that can possibly be made. The
saIoon-keepers, distillers and brew
ers are contributing large sums of
money to be used in an effort to de-
feat the amendment, and the preach
ers, of all faiths and those without
faith, are moving in solid phalanx
against intemperance. Every voter
is being personally canvassed by
both parties and persuaded
that it will be to his in
tereSt to vote for or against
the measure as the'case may be. AS
usual, each party is claiming an as
Sured victory and large majority,
which is pretty fair Indication
that neither knows its strength.
The vote will undoubtedly be very
close. All may be assured that
however the voting goes, the Hawk
eyes will not cease drinking whisky,
and it is questionable if, should the
amendment be adopted, drunken
ness will diminish in the state.
About the only thing prohibition
does is to make offenders under the
law of many who would otherwise
be peaceable, respectable, law-abid-
| ing citizens.

A PROMINENT Episcopal church
in New York was burned down the
other day, leaving the fashionable
congregation sheltfiless anil dis
tracted. The rabbi and trustees of
the magnificent Jewish Temple
Emanuel stepped in and kindly
offered the building to the Christ
ians, who accepted and held their
Easter services therein. AS a matter
of course there are some fault-End-
ers and grumblers about this pro-
ceeding. There are hard-headed
Hebrews " h0 think their temple
has been polluted, and there are
fanatic Christians who think the
followers of Christ profaned the
name OF Jesus by worshiping
in a synagogue. The incident itself
is one that excites commentator
and approval all round, and the fact
that with remarkably few excep-
tons both congregations are well
pleased i'll the premises is a good
sign. 1t indicates a growing belief
in the brotherhood of man, a religion
that is broader, more clevating and
better than creeds and dogmas. A
hundred years ago, even here in
free imerica the Christian could
not have been driven to worship in
synagogue and the Jew would
have regarded his temple as forever
polluted had the believers in Christ
sang the praises of the Savior there
in. Indeed the minister of one Chris
tan denomination would not per-
NIT the minister of another to oc-
cupy his pulpit. One hundred years
hence it is hoped that fanaticism will
be 50 much eliminated from relig-
ious beliefs and practices that an
incident like that in New York the
other day will not even excite the
thought as to whether it is right or
wrong. Next it will be in order for
some Episcopal congregation to let
the Hebrews worship in its church.

THERE EXISTS a difference of
opinion as to how and when the
vacancy in the delegates seat in
Congress from Utah can be filed.
Some assert that the Governor must
call a special election, others that
he has no authority to do so, Con-
gress alone being empowered to act
In the premises. 1t is clear that
there can be no election in time for
the delegate to take his seat during
the present session Of Congress
provided the adjournment shall take
place in June as now anticipated.
The election will necessarily be IN
der the provisions Of the Ed
munds law, and as the commits
sioners have not yet been
designated it is not among the prob
abilities that they will come here
complete the registration required
and perform the necessary work in
cident to general election before
the separation of Congress. The
Forty-Eighth Congress will be
elected in November, when it is
quite likely the delegate for the I'M
expired term viii be chosen.
