Prohibition and Population.

Editorial from the Chicago Inter ocean trepD,
June 30, 1871.
The statement in regard to the practical
workings OF prohibition In Iowa, which
the liner Ocean published the 18th inst,
10 attracting extraordinary attention. es
pecially in Iowa. The writer, +. w.
Faulkes. editor OF the Cedar Rapids Ga
zstte, is a we'll known ,urnalist, aad
while his argument, are liable to be col
ored by his personal convictions. he is in
capable Of willful and downright misrsp
representation Of facts. One of the most
signific ant Of his allegations IL that pro
hibition retards rather than promotes the
growth OF the state. In proof Of this
proposition he draws upon the census Of
population.
Mr.. Fsulkes gives the actual gain in
population during the last decade and the
percentage OF gain for Iowa and the six
adjoining states. namely, Illinois, Wis
consin. Missouri, Minnesota. Nebraska.
and South Dakota. or course. the latter
would show much greater increase. Its
percentage OF gain is 234 60. But why
should any of the other states, unless 1t be
Nebraska, grow any faster than lowaf
Nebraska is farther west and has more
uuimproved land to tempt pioneer enter
prise. Its gain was 1874 OG. None Of the
other states named extend farther west
than Iowa, and two Of them. Illinois and
Wisconsin, leave off. In longitude. where
Iowa begins. Minnesota and Missouri,
like Iowa, are in substantially the same
longitude, one north, the other south.
Here arc the figures for the five states:

PROHIBITION IN IOWA.
Editorial From the Chicago Iuter-
Ocean rep June II, 1891.

One OF the most important contribu-
tions to current journalism will be found
in the Inter Ocean to-day. 1t is state
ment. historical and actual, OF the way

cally. and from the standpoint Of temper

editor of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, an
able and conscientious Journalist. There
10 no doubt that Mr.. Faulkes has aimed to
treat the subject fairly, and be has do,
voted great deal of time to the invest.
CATION. 1t does not follow, however. that
his conclusions are sound or that the facts
he presents may not. at least In part, be
explained away. There may be another
side to the shield which is not 60 black,
and IL 20 that other side will not lack
champions. Whatever the facts in the
case may be. the discussion which Mr..
Faulkes' article is sure to provoke cannot
fail to throw light upon subject of vital
Importance to the welfare Of society.
Does prohibition prohibitY This is
really the only question involved. That
i has been injurious to the republican
party in Iowa has jong been too obvious
for dispute. 1t has slienated a great
many members OF the party without at
tracing to II any perceptible recruits
from the democracy. No doubt good
many Iowa democrats are prohibitionists.
and. quite independent Of politics, re.
joiced in the stand taken by the republi
can party. but they keep right on voting
the democratic ticket all the same. They
see In prohibition double advantage. a
twofold blessing. But il prohibition pro-
notes the cause of temperance that is
enough; il it does not it should be aban-
doned. lever should the good of party
be allowed to stand In the way of the
public good.
Its equally true that the time has come
to put aside the mere sentimental view of
the subject Six years ago the republicans
Of Iowa declared for fair and thorough
trial OF prohibition. That It has now had.
It's efficiency, or inefflciency. as the case
may be, has been fully tested. Year after
year the law has stood vitalized by all the
penalties and appliances for enforcement,
which Ito friends wanted. Every con.
ceivable opportunity he's been afforded. /,
10 nowtsime for the people of that state
to pass judgment upon it's practical work
ings. The judgment passed thus will
have great weight. no doubt, with thu
earnest fair-minded, and intelligent
friends OF temperance the country over
That verdict should be given conscien
tiously, and be sustained by facts which
cannot be successfully controverted.

1t will be seen that even Missouri,

than Iowa. and 80 does Wisconsin, with
all its forests. Itmay be said that Illinois
has Chicago to help it out, but none Of the
other states in the list had amp phenom.
email urban growth to push 1t ahead Of
Iowa. The Fsulkes argument IL that the
explanation lies in the fact that these
other states maintain high license and
local option. while Iowa is prohibitory.
There are about 4. OCO retail liquor dealers
in Iowa according to national government
licenses. but the money which In the
other states is raised by local licenses
from saloonkeepers comes out OF the gen.
eral taxpayers In Iowa. 1t 10 in order for
those who deny tho soundness of Mr..
more reasonable explanation of the facts
in question.
In this connection Il is pertinent to In.
quire still further into the percentage of
decsdal increase In this group of states.
Take the decade from 1870 to 1880, and
Iowa grew more rapidly than either Wis
consin. Illinois or Missouri, 40 one would
naturally expect 1t to do. In the general
march of population. For that decade
Iowa showed an increase Of 36 O8 per
cent, Illinois of 81 10. Wisconsin of 24.73.
and Missouri of 1897. Take the country
over and there arc no less than thirty one
states which show moro rapid rate Of
increase from 1880 to 1890 than Iowa,
while for the previous decade Iowa. in
stead OF being behind thirty one states.
had only twelve ahead of it.
The change for Kansas, the other great
prohibition state. is still more remarkable.
| Its percentage of increase from 1870 to
1880 was 173 IS. but from 1880 to 1890 II
was only 1927. 1t led all the other
states In the former decade. 1t may be
said, and truly. that at one time the tide
of immigration set In strongly toward
western Kansas, under the impression
that the rainfall was adequate to the de-
msnds of agriculture. and there has been

COMMON.SENSE TIEW OF THE THEATRE.
THE REV. MADISON c. PETERS breaches ON
THE SUBJECT

THE REV. MADISON c. PETERS BREACHES ON
THE SUBJECT.
The subject Of the Rev. Madison c. Peters's morn
ing sermon yesterday at the Bloomingdalc Church.
Boulevard and West Sixty-eghthst., was The Com
nonsense View Of the Theatre Part Of the sermon
follows:
The theatre owes its origin to religion. In Greece.
Italy and China the drama was originally religious
ceremony. God has implanted a dramatic element an
most Of our natures Man is not responsible fl this
dramatic element, but for the perverslon Of IT, II
but the ministers The world suffers from
want OF dramatic element in the churches than from
a superabundance Of that element outside. Wherever
you see ministers filed with the true dramatic spirit
In the pups, there You will find tho filed at
every service. The actor does not blame people for
not coming 10 the theatre. lie blames himself for
not drawing them there: IL will be well when
often the world and their Maker better through
the exercise they make Of their dramatic talent than
they would by preaching sermons that nobody wanted
to hear. The Church has lost too much time in
crying out against the evil of theatres ard has
too little to promote the good that IS in them. The
Church alone is to blame II, having drawn itself away
from popular amtsements the devil steps in and
takes its place.
Let us bring the leaven Of the Gospel into the
amusement lump. and teach the people how to use
amusements without abusing them. Man has an
animal well a. spiritual nature, and II Is right TO
give both Of these natures their demands in nodera-
ton. There immoral actors Just there arc
immoral preachers but the leading actors. those who
were accused OF presenting immorales TO the public
in their plays. 1t is tie same with plays. All those
that have been successful clean. The character
OF theatres cannot be sustained above the standard
Of those who attend them, and If the public countc-
nances vugarity. II has itself to blame for the
prevalence of vulgar plays The theatre Is hero to
note for the future. We must eliminate the bad and
promote the good.
