power, and to gain great dividends, in
dividual and public rights were alike
sacrificed.
In speaking of the Prohibitory law,
the Governor said that from its incep-
ton to the present time it had been de-
spised and ignored in most of the large
cities of the State. The use of intoXi-
eating beverages had not diminished,
but the millions of capital invested by
citizens in the traffic had been calmly
wiped out without a pretense of COM
penSating those who are ruined as
consequence of such action. Enforce
ment Of the law had meant the iIApover-
ishment of those interested in the buSi-
ness.
The Governor said that, in his iudg-
ment, the fact that the law was a cruel
viola ton of one of the most precious of
human rights, constituted the chief OBJ
stacle to its enforcement.
The platforms of the different polit-
ical parties were then referred to by
Governor Boies to show that no political
issue was ever more clearly presented
to, or more thoroughly understood by
the masses than was that of legislative
prohibition in Iowa by the people of the
State during the last campaign. The
people had passed upon the issue, and
those localities so desiring were en-
titled to the benefits of a carefully
framed license law. Iowa needed legis-
Iation broad enough to cover more than
the views of a single class.

the Cronin Tragedy in Chicago Foiled
in an Attempt to Get DIR. Neil Out q
His House the Assassin Attempts to
Murder Him Then and There, But
Fails,
COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 2S.-About eleven
o'clock last night a desperate attempt
was made to assassinate DR.. Alex Neil,
one of the leading physicians and best
known men of this city. An unknown
man called at the doctors residence and
rang the bell. The doctor, suffering
from influenza, went to the door ami
asked what was wanted. The man said
he wanted the doctor to go and attend
his sick wife. The doctor then asked
the man who he was and where he
lived. The visitor answered that his
name was Corbin, and that he lived on
East Goodale street. The doctor said
he was too i'll to go out, but would fix
him some powders. He did so, and
opened the door few inches to hand
them out, when the man burst into the
hall, drew his revolver. placing it
against the doctors head, said: ''1'1l
kill you." at the same time pulling the
trigger, but it failed to go off. and the
doctor Immediately grabbed the man.
After a desperate struggle the doctor
succeeded in taking the revolver away
from the assassin, whereupon he ran
ont.
The family, with the doctor, then
went upstairs, and directly the man
came back and smashed in several win
dows with powders. Ine doctors
daughter ran to the telephone and
called up police headquarters. pa
troll wagon was sent to the residence
and % guard placed at the house. 1t is
thought to be bold attempt at assas-
sinaton or to murder the doctor for
money. The object was to get the doc
tor out on an errand of mercy, like DR..
Cronin's case, when this unknown man
with confederates near and in hiding,
would pounce on and kill him. The
doctor was lately the physician of Miss
Hollis, whose mysterious death has
created such a furore in Cincinnati. to
which city her remains were taken and
this attempted assassination may be
connected with that unhappy affair.

The city hospitals of St. Louis un-
doubtedly need investigation. a few

charges for goods such as only the very

can afford, and would doubtless make
an owner of a big block of Granite
Mountain hesitate. These goods are
supposed to be for the patients, but the
patients never see them, and they go to

would pay no more such bills.
