preme court tool in the hands of the
liquor interests.
All this misrepresents Iowa, is mis-
| leading and lacks in candor and con-
| liquor directly to the consumer is a
question of national law. Under the
interstate commerce act traffic in Ii
quor is as legitimate as trade in pig
iron. The Iowa supreme court without
prejudice simply made the only posi-
bic Interpretation of that law. That the
decision was against the hope of ma
jority of the people of the state has
nothing to do with its legality. 1t is the
law of the United States that permits
the sale and delivery of intoxicants to
its citizens, and the supreme court of
Iowa simply affirmed the supremacy of
that law. In this decision all law abid-
ing citizens of the state must coincide
The decision does not mean that the
people of Iowa are dissolute and drunk
Ell, or that the supreme court is in
league with liquor sellers. 1t means
merely that Iowa is part of the United
States and subject to its fundamental
law.
1t also gives warning that different
method of attacking the c. O. D. liquor
traffic must obtain. The express Of
fee where liquor is received with fic-
titious addresses and handed out to any
one willing to pay the charges and ac-
cept the shipment is quite as much
nuisance as any other blind pig" Ii
is in the power of any citizen to insti-
tute prosecutions against the traffic. II
comes under the law of the state. The
legal right of the liquor dealer to sell
and deliver to bona fde consumers is, |
however, apparently protected by ma
tional statute. No good can come of
criticisms against the su-
preme court for doing its manifest duty !
with judgment and fidelity. No good /
can come from spreading the false inn
preston that the temperate people of
Iowa are sots. Time thus spent may be
better employed in planning new as
;ault on the c. o. d. liquor traffic.
