The Prohibition Experiment i'm
Iowa.

4V q
The friends of clean and decent
municipal government in Iowa, after
a fair test, covering a period OF ten
years, have given up the fight for
State prohibition Of the liquor ira
fic. Prohibition opened the battle
with a popular majority of $4,000
behind it. as determined by the vote
upon the proposed constitutions.
amendment. The effort to make that
amendment a part of the Constitu-
ton was defeated in sthe courts by
reason of a technical defect in its
passage; but the Legislature, in obe-
dience to the popular will, supplied
the place of the dead amendment by
p~rohibitory statutes, devised with
great Ingenuity, providing against
every conceivable effort at violation
or evasion. a.
The ordinary remedies of the Grim.
inal law were supplemented by the
right of search and seizure, and there
was the amplest scope for the work
of the spy, the "spotter" and the in
former. By the quetionable eyer
else of the injunction process in
courts of equity the right Of trial by
jury was practically denied to those
accused of violating the prohibitory
laws. Prcsumptions Of the criminal
law as old as Magma Charta were
reversed in those cases, the burden
of proof being shifted from the State
upon the defendant. In the rura
communities with native American
populations, the law temporarily
successful, because peace officers ant
juries could be found to execute it
bat in the cities and larger town
the law has been openly violated
with the connivance of the poac'
officers and the approval and co
operation of the municipal authori
ties. In recent years most of tn
cities and towns have exacted
tribute from the saloon men as tn
purchase price OF municipal protec
ton; and this, too, in open violation
of tho law.-New York Press.

Trees About TEae House.

In q recent number of the Santa
rian Or. w. T.. Parker protests
against the thick planting of trees
very near the house. Not only do
they prevent the free access Of the
air and of sunshine or even light,
but they also injure the character of
the soil as suited for permanent oc
cupation. "A SOIL" says the writer,
loaded with roots and densely
shaded is unfit for man to live upon
constantly. Vegetation produces a
great effect upon the movement of
the air. Its velocity is checked, and
some times in thick clusters of trees
or underwood, the air is almost
stagnant. If moist and decaying
vegetation be a coincident condition
of such stagnatiou, the most fatal
forms of malarious diseases are pro-
duced. 4 moist soil is cold, and is
generally believed to predisposs to
rheumatism, catarrh and neuralgia.
Ii is a matter of general experience
that most people feel healthier on. a
dry soil. In some way which is NOT
clear, moist produces an 'unfavor-
able effect upon the lungs. A moist
soil influences greatly the develop
ment OF the agent, whatever it may
be, which causes the paroxysmal fe-
ver." Of course in the desire to
avoid possible dangers il not neces
sary to place q house on an absolutely
bare spot, away from any tree, as is
often done by rural builders, even
when fine trees are within reach,
Enough trees to produce an effect
agreeable to the eye and comfortable
to shade certain portions of the
house and it's immediate vicinity in
summer, yet not 80 many as to rem
der the soil damp or prevent tho free
circulation of air, or wholly shut out
the sun. This should be the house
hulder's ideal. Conifers are espe.
cially bad if many of them stand
close to the house, because they ex-
clude sunshine in winter, when one
cannot have too much of it.-Farm
