A Decision That Deals a EsIOw nt
Iowa Prohibition.

MASON CITY, Ia, June 9.-Judge
John @. Sherwin made q sweeping
decision in the origiAl package in
junction cases which have been
pending for the past weel, which is
by far the severest blow at prohibi~
tlon the State has yet received.
In his decision the Judge finds
that the defendants, as agents of
importers, could occupy tie building
for the purpose of selling beer in
original packages to all prisons ex-
cept minors and habitual drunkards
and that such use would not consti-
tute nuisance, though the beer
was drank on the premises by the
purchasers and that the sales, al
though shipped by the cases were
sales IN original packages.
He granted temporary injunc-
ton restraining defendants from
selling to minors and those in the
habit of being intoxicated.-En

anti-cigarette law is enforced
There is every reason to believe that
no more attention is paid to it than
if it had never been enacted. Boys
get their supplies of the forbidden
article from some source aud SEEM
ingly in any desired quantity. 1t is
just such neglect as this that brings
so many of our laws and ordinances
into contempt and renders them
completely null and void. Almost
daily deaths or serious impairments
of the health of boys are published,
and if the total was known of the
injuries inflicted upon the systems
of those who use the cigarette, the
community would be startled at the
aggregate. There are many good
people engaged in philantropic work
in this city, but none that have yet
undertaken a crusade against the
cigarette, than which there are few
evils demanding more determined
opposition.
