A newspaper In Ohio recently
brought suit against forty-three men
who would not pay their subscriptions
and obtained judgement in each case
for the amount of each claim. OF
these twenty eight made affidavit that
they owned no more than the law al
lowed, thus preventing attachment;
then under the decision of the supreme
court they were arrested for petit lar
ceny and bound over in sums of $500
each. All but six gave bonds and six
went to Jail. The new postal law
makes it larceny to take a paper and
refuse to pay for it.

Years ago such things were so fam
iliar that should not even have no.
ticed them, but now they seem like
some strange resurrection. This will
be more apparent when | state that
before coming to Iowa, about a dozen
years ago, | lived in Illinois over
thirty.six years. During that time /
had lived in or visited nearly every
town in northern Illinois, and have TO
add that do not remember living in
town where there were no saloons,
and where one that desired could not
as easily procure drink of whisky as
pound of sugar. The first seven
years of this time were spent under
circumstances where liquor flowed on
every side. 1t was in the home, in
the field, and prominently exposed for
sale along every street.
One can then well imagine how
strange it seemed to walk the streets
of Iowa towns where every appear
ance of drink or drinkers was absent.
In the town where L live, up to three
or four years ago, persons who "knew'
could go into some of our drug stores
and in the back rooms find something
to drink; but for the uninitiated this
was impossible. That is all stopped
now. l have lately been in two towns
near our place, and was told by bust
ness men who knew that it was not
possible to get a drop to drink any
place. have a Sunday school class
of dozen young women averaging
seventeen, not one of whom, | am
sure, ever saw saloon in her life. |
presume could select a hundred boys
and girls from our Sunday school of
about the age mentioned above who
have never seen a saloon or a bottle
of whisky. The whole thing is absent
and out of sight as much as tigers and
cobras. And there is nothing unnat-
ural or restrained about this; it is a
matter of course. After dozen years
of such experience it can be easily
seen why such advertisements as not
ed in the beginning of this article
seemed strange.
There are many whose ideas of pro
hibition are of police and arrests.
There must be a continual state OF
turmoil in the efforts to enforce pro.
hibition; but in all our smaller towns
this is far from being the case. The
liquor business gives as little trouble
and turmoil as the far.away wars OF
Russia and the Beers. | have not
seen a drunken man in dozen years.
oar jails are empty; our criminal doc
kets are without records; our law
courts have lost all their sensations,
and have become merely courts oil
equity. Surely such condition OF
things would be good for Illinois, and
Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and tile
rest!-IRdianoId, IoaOa.

The Superior Wave scorches its Du
luth neighbors after the following
manner:
I'VE wonder if the Duluth people
don't think they will get caught at
their everlasting lying. Last Tues
day. when the Sioux Falls people were
at West Duluth, one of the Duluth
men was speaking to Dakota gentle
man about fuel to run the furnaces,
&c, said it would be hard to get it,
that coal would be too high. The
Sioux Falls gentleman asked them why
they did not use coke. The Duluth liar
said if was too far to ship it from the
East. The Sioux Falls gentleman
asked him why they did not get it at
West Superior. The Duluth liar said
they did not burn coke over there
they had tried it but could not make
a success of it. That Sioux Falls gen
tleman had been here and knew that
coke was being burned every day. II
is no way to help town by lying quite
so openly about a neighbOr. A West
Superior gentleman stood right behind
the Duluth liar and the Sioux Falls
gentleman during the whole of the
conversation"

greatly surprised yesterday morning by the
appearance of the following editorial in The

con Richard Smith:
"Mr. Halstead reached New York yester-
day, and will be home in few days Itnow
remains for US to say, in his absence, that
the Republicans of Ohio should elect him to
take the place of Payne in the United States
senate He would fill the chair we'll. He
could not he would not, represent corpora
tions, but he would, with great fairness and
manifest ability, represent the people. 1t is
fair to infer that this is what the Republicans
of Ohio, and what the people of Ohio, ir-
| respective of party, desire, and in the alb
sence of Mr.. Halstead we embrace this OPP
portunity to make the statement For
obvious reasons this paper cannot at a later
date take part in the contest, and we state il
now and the people can make the issue. We
nominate Mr.. Halstead to the United States
senate, to take the seat misrepresented by
Henry b. Payne. 1t is square contest.
There is nothing personal about it, but there

involved"
