WAR ON WHISKY.

The announcement contained in Arch
bishop keane's sermon at Dubuque that
the power Of the Catholic church i.
Iowa viii be waged against the saloon
evil is one of the most startling develop
ments in the temperance crusade yt.t
presented. It8nay not sound the death
knell of the liquor traffic, in fact, the
archbishop does not claim to be able to
abolish all saloons, but it will bring 10
bear a greater power in the cause OF
temperance than ever any prohibitory
law could exert. The Irlsnman is TO find
his whisky at war with his religion and
in the light of all Roman Catholic prece-
Sent it is to be expected that the wins
ky, powerful as it is. will have to give
way.
The archbishop's declaration is ut
tered in the calm but firm tones of a
man in authority, who knows to what
limits that authority extends and who
nothing but what he Is amply able to
carry out. He says that from time to
time he will preach against the evils of
the drink habit, which he realizes are
terrible. He says that the priesthood
will join him in the crusade: that he
will urge Catholics to get out of the sa-
loon business; that those who remain
must obey the laws by refusing to sell
10 minors and drunkards, and finally
that II these mandates of the church
are not obeyed he will use his power as
archbishop to deny the blessed sacra-
uent to offending members.

KEEP THE WORK MOVING.

Everywhere the spirit of improvement
is in the air in the cities and towns of
Iowa. AS people emerge from wintry
surroundings they are inspired to i'm
prove their homes, even tho it involves
no greater effort than work with a rake.
But greater things are in progress
everywhere. Carpenters are busy, and
other mechanics are falling into line for
civic Improvement. Many new buildings
are going up others are being enlarged,
repaired or painted. Lawns are being
teautified. gardens are receiving atten-
ton, streets are being cleaned or paved
and there is a movement all along the
line that stimulates town pride.
Every Iowa townand city should have

Captain Kidd, and HIS ideas of mcun
