DIsTILLERIEs are the DEVILS manufac-

WE pity the fellow who thinks he is
a prohibitionist and yet puts in all his
time and energy cackling on the ques-

so much racket-Wayne Co. Herald.
Iowa liquor anarchists may take out
license to carry on their anarchistic
traffic next year if the principles of the
republican and democratic parties pre-

WHEN a lot Of illicit liquor sellers lose
their case before court as in Victoria,

If Uncle Sam would quit drinking
and go out of the distillery and saloon

order, good citizenship and good
health as the result of enforcing the

one bar in the village, no drunkenness,
no crime, no fire, no disturbance. -

THE saloon is called tine poor mans
club" Yes, it clubs him out of all man

THE peoples issue in Iowa is prohi-
bition. The politicians issue is any
thing to obscure the peoples issue.
Does this help to explain why Iowa re-
publican dailies are suddenly bowling
in chorus for campaign on national
issues?" Voice.
THE gratifying announcement is
made that some of the more indecent
performances of the Midway plaisanee

"GooD-BY to prohibition in Iowa."
exultingly exclaims a whisky republic
an paper. 1t might have occasion to
bid prohibition farewell if the repub-
lican party bad its way in all things,
