THE FAILURE AND FARCE OF PROHIBITION IN
IowA-ILqUoR SOLD IN EVERY PORTION CT
THE STATE.
Comparatively few persons now claim the
law has been q success. The great ma jority
truly and candidly admit the contrary, and
regretfully give their reasons for Il. Not
withstanding the general admission that the
law has proved a failure, propose to prove
just the same that the law Ia not enforced.
has never been successfully enforced; is less
so now than at any other time In its his
tory, and that the condition of affairs Is
rapidly growing worse.
FIX Gov. Larrabee. most excellent gen
tleman, and one Of the very ablest and best
of Iowa's governors, was pronounced ad
vocate OF the law, aud made . greater ef-
fort for its enforcement than all the COVER
nors Iowa ever had combined. He
made . statement during his admin
istration, In substance that prohibi
tion was emptying the penitentiaries
But he evidently made his statement at q
time when the tins" were going out, and a
season just prior to the court grists. thai
soon made up the number again.
Ii the basis of his assertion is q good one
to figure from, let me submit the following
which IL a correct official statement OF tbs
average number Of convicts In the two lowe
penitentiaries each year, from 1881 up T.

former greenbackers, members of The pres

ances. The comparatively small vote cast in
lss9, when Boies was q candidate, was the
result OF the democratic Endorsement of the
Australian ballot system, which the labor
ing men in the state want and still demand
The fatal planA was that of 1889 which de-
clared that prohibition has become the
settled policy OF the state 1t was out
spoken and easily understood. No explana-
ton was needed. The s.antis'' took in the
situation, saw through the past, aud thought
about the future, and the first democratic
governor In Iowa since the republican pafty
was organized was elected by over 5000
plurality. The platform of last year was in
tended to throw the matter among national
issues. And IL proved disastrous. The
prohibition plank closed as follows
We favor such legislation on the part
OF congress rs shall protect the police
powers OF the state in their efforts to regu-
late, confine or prohibit the public bar y
Many anti-prohihition republicans fought
for the republican state ticket which was
elected by over 1900. and knitted the con-
gressional ticket because Of the Wilson bill
and the above plank, and the result was six
democrats out OF the eleven congressman
were elected with a net majority Of nearly
II, 900. Some people can learn something,
others can not.

FORMATION OF NEW PARTIES; THE PROHIBI-
TON AND aREENBAcK MovEMENTs-IowA's
il voTR SINCE 1855.
For twenty years after the organization of
the republican party In 1856, there were
virtually but two political parties in Iowa,
the republican and democratic. A great
variety OF questions was treated In their
platforms. Frequently they came closely
together upon some question or other, and
at different times during that period they
actually crossed each others pathway in
certain declarations. Upon the very import
ant questions of transportation and control
of corporations, the political parties for many
years have fully agreed, and they will con-
tinue to do 40, for II the people Of Iowa are
united in sentiment upon any question, It Is
on those concerning transportation and cor
poration control. And the two old parties
differed but little also In their platforms In
Iowa for several years from 1850 toward 1880
In their declarations upon the tariff. The
questions of economy In state and national
administrations, reconstruction, currency,
immigration, controversies with foreign
powers, railroad and corporation control,
land grants, pension and patent laws were
among the numerous important matters
considered.
The question of prohibition has been agi-
tated more or less at times since Iowa was
admitted In 1916. The wings, assisted by
many democrats, adopted total prohtbi-
tory statute In 1856 by nearly 5000 majority.
But In 1857 the first republican legislature.
for the purpose of inducing immigration,
changed the law. permitting the sale of ale,
beer and wine. A number Of other changes
were afterward introduced, making the law
more stringent in the matter OF sales to
minors, persons Intoxicated, etc. An Effort
was made by few ardent prohibitionists at
nearly every meeting Of the legislature to
secure the submission to the people of an
amendment to the constitution. The demo
cratic party repeatedly resolved against
prohibition, while the republicans sawed
wood" until 1877.
A very material help to full understand
Ing of the situation will be found In the &C.
companying table, showing the vote cast by
all parties each year, from and including
1856, up to the present time.
There was little discussion of the question

To the Editor:
In response to your request for review
OF prohibition In Iowa, including the pres
emit condition OF affairs. shall take pleas
ure ip doing so as fully and comprehensively
q spossible. But 1t will be necessary to pre-
sent many statistical facts and recall to
some extent the political history Of the state
for number OF years, to make numerous
comparisons of various matters. one period
with another, concerning results Of elections,
platforms, changes In votes, criminal stats
tics, taxation, increase In government licen-
SEES, court expenses, etc.. to refer to the
threats of prohibitionists against the re-
publican party; to show the methods that
have been resorted to In some attempts at
alleged enforcement; to unearth the hypoc-
risy. deception and frauds that have been
practiced. and TO enter In detail into dis
cussion of those and various other features
of the case. II the situation IL to be fully and
intelligently described.
The history OF the inception OF the move
ment, its effect upon political parties, the
developments that have arisen by virtue of
such movement. are certainly very interest
ing, with even the dry facts alone present
ed. As one who is In favor OF the principle
of prohibition, has fought its battles Of years
ago, and to-day wishes 1t were possible to
make 1t success throughout civilization
but who has regretfully witnessed its absolute
failure, the causes of which will be fully
considered, l wish to predict that the fever
is almost over, aud that for the present de-
csde, prohibition will settle behind the po-
liti:al horizon, this fall, In Iowa, as surely
az the sun sets behind the Rockies and the
golden Pacific. It may rise again, but In or
der to hold ito place, it must come backed
by greater unity of purpose, and with more
sincerity on the part of those who give It .
place ON the great stage of living, public Is
Sues It must come in the arms of strong
or public sentiment. Of larger number Of
more earnest and devoted friends, with
greater freedom from political Hypocrisy
and with less desire to use it for base and ig-
noble purposes.
