GOVERNOR SHAW OUTsPOKEN.
dubuque Times.l
Governor Shaw participated In the de-
bate on the report of the committee on
Temperance in the Methodist general
conference Monday. He proposed to
strike out all portions Of the report com;
hitting the church to prohibition as the
only method Of regulating the liquor
traffic to which it could subscribe. II
this he was unsuccessful, but that tbs
governor OF Iowa should propose such 8
thing is enough to indicate that the les
sons OF experience under prohibition II
Iowa have not been overlooked by thos
who might be thought most tenacious o.
that doctrine.

position to the established order Of life
OF refusal to apply the test of results I
Legislation and to accept the most ex
lpedient method as the moral method
The people Of Des Moines by raising tn

| saloons to fifty, forty. thirty. twenty o
Item. Thus they may reduce the Nolum

Imost serious of these is the recruitin
