LIQUOR IN A PROHIBITION TOWN.
[Estherviile Republican,
Beer flowed In rivulets all over the
town on the Fourth. Last week over 100
cases were delivered by one drayman,
and Monday and Tuesday this week
125 cases were delivered by the express
conservative estimate to place the
consumption the past week at $50 cases.
besides large numbers of "ponys" and
halves. Whisky and wine were also Inn
portant liquid refresmments on the
Fourth and 1t seems to be the candid
opinion of all fair minded people that
the amount consumed on that day was
greater than ever before on the Fourth
or on any other one day. We publish
these facts as proof Of what the Repub-
3lican has always maintained, and that
10 licensed saloons do not Increase the
consumption OF liquor" For this po-
sition the Republican Is called by the
prohtbs "a whisky sheet" but those
who are not too prejudHed to reason
realize that this paper Is a consistent
temperance advocate.

( WOMAN SUFFRAGE CAUSE
WRECKED.

The cause OF woman suffrage is well-
nlsh wrecked II the opinion given at
Ottumwa recently by Judge Eichel-
berger Is held TO be good law by the
higher courts. While Judge Eichel-
berger recognizes the Iowa statute
gives women the right TO vote. he holds
that 1t Is contrary to the spirit of the
constitution, which defines nn elector as
male citizen. Right or wrong. the
decision has settled. temporarily at
least a question that has needed adju-
gdtcation for long time. While no seri-
Gus complications have yet occurred

the action authorized has been taken.
1t would seem in accordance with JUS
ttce and every sense OF right that wo-
men, particularly those who are prop
erty owners, should have voice in
matters directly affecting taxation of
their property, but according to Judge
Eichelberger's construction Of the
constitution and the law founded upon
b 1t they are not given such right. To
the outside world the decision attracts
attention principally because itfails to
protect Ottumwa from the ign0miny
from which the women saved 1t by the
wisdom Of their votes.
