in Humiliated Position.
Every Iowa prohibitionist, unwilling
to surrender his manhood and accept
the license-option plank of the republic
an state convention and its anti-prohi-
bition candidate, Jackson, is a hood
ler," according to the Iowa State Regis
ter. That paper, owned and edited in
part by a mailing-list thief and self
confessed would-be bril,er. can not con-
esiue of a mans acting simply from
principle. If he is not ready to change,
chameleon-like his political views to
meet the necessities of the republican
party, he has, according to the Regis
ter, ''sold out to the democrats.
The brave prohibition republicans
who met in preliminary conference in
Des Moines few days ago, to discuss
the steps necessary to be taken to en-
able them to cast their ballots with
clear conscience at the coming election,
are thus characterized by the State
Register:
'"This movement for state conven-
ton on the 5th of September is only
another scheme to earn democratic
DOOtlc ny w uAN S'iN NNSiAA
ocratic party in electing a governor and
legislature to return the sa loons tc
every county in Iowa. That is all that
such movement can accomplish. and
the democratic doodle dispensers are
anxious to pay the leaders of the move
ment to make the attempt. The mer'
cenary crusaders for democratic boo
die will be still more Overwhelmingly
defeated this year than they were in
1892"
Could anything be more foul and
cruel than these comments of the lead
ing republican paper of Iowa after
basely betraying the cause for years ii
has used as rallying cry to gather
Iowa prohibitionists INTO the republic
an fold? With the lips of Judas the
Register kisses prohibition to its death,
then scourges those who refuse tc
acquiesce in the betrayal. The Regis
ter has in prospect the further hurnilia'
ton of the prohibition republicans in
the proposed election of their old anti
prohibition enemy, A. y. Cummins tc
the United States senate. Every pro-
hibitionist who supports republican
legislative candidate in Iowa this fall
will, according to The Registers pro-
gramme. aid in sending to Washington
the most avowed republican enemy OF
prohibition in Iowa:-N. Y. Voice.
| What Prohibitionists Need to Learn.
What our people need to learn more
than any other one thing, is to know
how to make the best of what they
have as there is little doubt that hall
the earnings of the city workmen, to
| say the least, are actually squanaered
| or worse than thrown away. This
might in him be largely changed to the
/ great advantage of the people at large,
I could the government be- induced to
provide postal savings system, which
would prove convenient in method and
accessible as to location to accommo-
date all who might be induced TO in
| vest in it Every patriotic citizen
! should urge upon congress the import
| ance of immediate action upon this
subject Such a measure would dc
much to remove the Sanger of runs up
ON banks and the financial panics
which create distrust and gnsettle 6usi-
ness, and thus avoid result which is,
at the present time, greatly distressing
the business world.-Western Rural
