PROHIBITION DEAD.
FORMER DECISION OF SUPREME
COURT AFFIRMED

And Prohibition Is Declared Not to BE 8
Fart of the Constitution, Never Having
Been Legally Adopted History of the
Case Decided.
DIES MONIES, Ia. Jan. 23,-The SUI
preme court has affirmed its former de-
cision, holding that the prohibitory
amendment is not part of the consti-
tuition of the state, having never been
legally adopted. The case was brought
before it in the action Of j. A. Harvey,
the president of the State Temperance
alliance, against w. M. Mcfarland,
secretary of state. The defendant re-
fused to issue a certified copy Of the
constitution containing this provision on
the ground that the supreme court had
decided it was not part of the consti-
tuition and the plaintiff therefore practi-
cally asked and brought an action for
writ of mandamus to compel him to is
sue such copy, notwithstanding the rul-
ing of the court. Judge Conrad refused
to grant the writ, and the former de-
cision of the supreme court, as well as
that of the district court is affirmed.
Since the suit was commenced the State
Temperance alliance has ceased to exist,
and it is safe to say the prohibitofy
is now dead forever.
