TIE Omaha Bee, opposing the sui
mission of Il prOhibitory amendment to
the constitution to the people of Ne
braska, has sent reporter into Iowa to
learn the workings of the law here.
The reporter has invaded the larger
cities, and finding few of the relies of
saloon business as it once thrived and
because he was able by hard swearing
and Misrepresentation to obtain mois-
ture for his parched throat, he jumps
to the conclusion that the law is fail
IRE. lie was only able TO obtain a su,
perfcial view OF the case, and in his
haste did not tarry to investigate and
learn that the police records in the lar.
ger cities show that crime has decreas
ed and that there is much smaller
number of arrests. And had he chosen
to continue his investigation to the vari
GUS county seat towns and their neigh
boring burgs he would have learned
that the traffic is well nigh prohibited
and that so much of it as still exists l.
under the bane of public disapproval.
Those who have continued the business
have earned the diSrespect of their fel
low citizens, and their establishments
whether the boot leg, the dive or Tho
prescription case, have been character
lied as public nuisances, and in good
time abated. The crisis of the reform
in Iowa came in some instances i'll bloot
shed and sacrifice, but those times are
past and in the vast majority of the
counties in the state liquor can only bt
procured for the purposes and by the
means prescribed by law, all distorted
opinions of prejudiced and connivina
reporters to the contrary notwithstand
ing. The people of the state recon-
mend the law to their western neighbors
with pleasure, as means of decreasing
crime, depopulating penal institutions
elevating public morals, and above al
removing temptation from young me,
the open inducement to form demora
lizing and eliminating habits. In Iowi
it is not theory but condition whose
success is accomplished.

the protection of American authors
