Stable Burned.
'.' A Bird of Ill-Omen.
DRs MONIES, Ia, Feb. 26.-[Specal to
the BEE. The announcement that the St.
Johnites are preparing to invade Iowa, is
not received very kindly by republicans or
by the true temperance people of the state.
Chairman Dickie of the prohibition national
committee, is billed to speak at Cedar
Rapids, March 2, where an attempt will be
made to organize q prohibition third party
movement in the state. Heretofore the St.
John crowd have made no headway in Iowa.
1t looked ridiculous for them to be trying to
organize an alleged prohibition party in q
state where prohibition was already in force.
SO they have kept out, until now the republi-
can majority has decreased to so slender a
margin that the st. John men think that any
diversion of a few thousand republican votes
would throw the party out of power
here in Iowa. That is true, for
Governor Larrabee's majority at the
last election was only about fourteen thou
sand, and 1t would not take much to wipe
that out. The third party fellows want moth
ing better than to beat the republican party
in every state in which it has majority, and
their course shows that they are more
anxious to pulverize it than they are to pull
verize the rum power. So far the legislature
has been SO busy with railroad matters that
II has done nothing toward strengthing the
weak places in the present prohbitory law.
The drug store needs little attention and
needs it right away, for in many places it has
become the substitute as well as successor of
the saloon. If the legislature fails to supply
