IOWA A WET STATE,
ProhibitOry Amendment to the Constitu.
tiOn Killed by the Supreme Court.

DES MONIES, Ia, Jan. 22.-The Supreme
Court this morning affirmed its former de-
cision, holding that the prohibitory amend
ment is not a part of the Constitution of
the State having never been legally adopt
ed. The case was brought before it in the
action of j. a. Harvey, the president of
the State Temperance Alliance, against w.
NJ. Mcfarland. Secretary of State. The de-
fendant refused to issue a certified conv of
the constitution containing this provision
on the ground that the Supreme Court had
decided 1t was not a part of the Constitution
Plalntln, therefore, practically asked and
brought ain action for a writ of mandamus
TO compel him to issue such COPY, notWith-
standing the ruling of the court. Judge
Conrad refused to grant the writ and the
former decision of the Supreme Court as
we'll as that of the District Court is af-
tlrmed Since the suit was commenced the
State Temperance Alliance has ceased Ia
exist. and 1t is safe to say the prohibitory
amendment is now dead forever This de-
cision leaves nothing of prohibition bur the
statute, which will probably be repealed
by the present Legislature.
