THEY ARE MISSING
NORTH SIDE BRIDGE

The first incident of special inter
est since the North Side bridge was
dismantled was witnessed this morn
ing when one of Barney Solomon's
black team was drowned in the Ami
mas river. The driver was taking
the team around by the Graden mill
bridge at noon when one OF the lines
was broken. The driver discovering
his dilemma, pulled the other line to
run the frightened team into clump
of brush, when meeting Johnnie
Males team in the narrow road John
ME alighted from his wagon to catch
the runaways, but they were scared
and fleet and lodged him By plung
ing into the river, swimming through
the swift and swollen current, almost
to the east side when they saw they
could not make the bank and turned
back. One OF the little raven-hued
speeders got her foot tangled in the
bride rein and went down three
times.
BY that time the driver arrived and
with passerby were ready TO so In,
when Mr.. Males told them to cnt
the rein and then, the boys didn't
have knife, SO they had to walt
longer for the little mare to drown,
while borrowing knife, but they
went into the water and cut the rein
giving the little animal chance at
daylight once more. She raised neI
dripping head but it was off; she sank
and went to realms where horses eat
no more at a. m. and noddeth not.
The other, the mate, needed in an
age of commercialism, was saved ano
will help some other horse to carry
the loads consigned to Barney Solo
mons keeping.

A Greed for Moralists.

1t is not necessary to quote the ten
commandments in order to teach chill
dren to honor their parents and to alb
stain from theft:
Ard in like manner the most SUI
blime precepts of Jesus of Nazareth
have passed so thoroughly into the
texture of the thoughts of mankind
that it is no longer necessary, in teach
ing the forgiveness of injuries and
compassion for the poor and suffering,
to give reference to the Biblical texts
which relate to these subjects. They
have become so much part and parcel
of the moral consciousness of the race
that they need not to be supported by

tors who called loudly for harmony
and denounced the disturbers of the
party, the candidates who We're of no

Governor Larrabee was denounced
and reviled and slandered in 1883 in
exactly the same way as Governor
Cummins is now. His accusers were
of the same class as those who are now
so free with accusations. The men who
are today furnishing the backing and
the inspiration for the Perkins candi-
dacy are of the class who tried hard to
dishonored as a party man.
The great service which Governor
Larrabee rendered Iowa and the ma
ton when he was governor will not
be denied by anyone today; but it
ought not to be necessary, in the in
terest of the passing candidacy of an
office seeker to falsify history by
denying that Larrabee signed bill
which received the vote of every mem
Der of the legislature.
In the face of the record available to
every honest man of the state, it is
strange that the claim should be braz-
emily made that Perkins is to be cred
tied with the Iowa law and Cummins
be denied all support thereof.

kota-have abandoned it.
If would be hasty to conclude that this
drift away from state prohlbltlon
points to diminished sense of the
evils of intemperance or deadenins
of the public conscience. Rather, 1T is
the result in part of the developments
of new conditions, and in part OF
deepening conviction that the problem
cam not be dealt with by general en-
actments or at long range. If the
abandonment of prohibition had been
attended by an increase of drunken
ness. both might be attributed to a
lowered moral tone in the population.
But the reverse is true Whatever
fluctuations may appear in short per-
iods of time or in some localities. there
can be no doubt that during the last
half-century there base been a great
improvement in the habits of the
American people ut large as regards
intemperance. We have, therefore, to
explain a change from a more rigorous
to a less rigorous form of legislation
against the liquor traffic. which is CO.
incident with a deepening detestation
of intemperance and a general inn
provement in sobriety.
one explanation of this phenomenon
is the growth of the population and
the change in its character wrought
by immigration. The population of the
United States in 1900 was more than
three times as great as in 1850. The
average annual increase by immigra-
ton in the decade prior to 1850 was
H., j,, r,,inr n 1Q0O III
was 3S5.115. The communities over
which the system of prohibition was
extended in New England fifty years
ago and later in the other states, were
not only smaller but more homogen-
eous than they are today. The three
states which have retained prohibition
have today a population OF only thlr-
teen to the square mile; White the
states which have abandoned prohlbl-
ton have a population of ninety-eight
to the square mile. Moreover. in the
first group of states only IA per cent
of the popula ton is urban, while in the
other group sc per cent is urban. The
weak point in the enforcement of state
prohibition has always been its appli-
cation to cities. AS the population
grows. therefore, and especially as 1t
becomes increasingly concentrated in
cities, it is to be anticipated that there
will be revolt against a system which
takes no account of the different con-
ditions of city and rural life.
If the repeal of prohbitory laws sig
nifed the abandonment of the attempt
legally to restrict the liquor traffic it
would be an occasion for grave con-
Germ But it does not. 1t has resulted
in every instance in the substitution
OF a local option system under which
each local community is given power
to prohibit the sale of liquor within its
borders. and by the exercise of this
power furnishes the support of local
sentiment which is essential to the
thorough enforcement of the prohibi-
ton. 1t is to be noticed, as affording
ground for encouragement to those who
deplore the existence of the legalized
saloon as a promoter of intemperance,
that not only has local option, direct or
indirect, been adopted in thirty nine OF
the forty-tive states, but that the dry"

The Drift Away From Prohibition.

frank Foxcroft in Atlantic Monthly.]
Fifty years ago, it seemed probable
that the policy of state prohibition o.
the liquor traffic would prevail in most
states in which any serious effort was
made to- deal with the evil. Maine
led the way in 1916, and it's initiative
was so generally recognized that for
a long time state prohibition. wherever
adopted, was known as "the Maine
law" Prohibitory laws were enacted
in Massachusetts and Vermont in 1852,
and in New Hampshire in 1865; and
Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware.
Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan,
Illinois. Iowa and North and South Da-
kota at different times and for varying
periods, adopted the same system, en-
acted into laws or embedded in their
constitutions. But of these fifteen

IOWA OPINIONS and NOTES.

"While Mr.. Perkins denies the
Blythe tag, he most assuredly does not
come out and deny squarely that he is
opposed to continuation of the Blythe
influence in Iowa politics. observes
the Rockford Register. I'm view of
which, we believe every voter should
turn him down.
",rhe same gang fighting Haugen is
fighting Cummins." declares the Spen-
Ger Reporter. Geo. d. Perkins in his
zeal to be governor lent himself to the
railroad corporations The people of
iowa want Cummins. The railroads
Of Iowa want Perkins. Under which
flag are you going to march, inquiries
the Reporter.

patters outside of this senatorial dis

nounced his candidacy for representa-

Herriott is their man."
gtsThe West Virginia senator seems
to have abandoned the people of Iowa

Freeman Tribune. But Blythe, Hun

sWhy doesn't Mr.. Perkins reproduce
the compliments he paid to j. w.
Blythe, when Blythe was aspiring for
the position of national committeeman
in 1904" asks the Mason City Times
Herald.
The Sioux City Tribune says "There
is practically only one party in Iowa,
and it must be railroad or a peoples
party. Can man accept railroad sup
port and if he wins with it betray the
railroads? Can a lawyer take the case
of client and betray the trust?" asks
the Tribune. "The railroads ought not
to be in politics at all. They ought
to stay out of it. But being in, who
has their support, who is their friend
who must stand with them in the adj
ministration of government? This is
the question. What do you think?"
"Cummins stands as the spokesman
of the republicanism if the real west"
asserts the Eldora Enterprise, and in
quires: 'tHow does Perkins stand? He
stands squirming. He dare not repu
diate Blythe, as Cumnlins did years
ago. On all live questions" continues
the Enterprise. "his is a halting. eva
sive uncertain policy, which is much
discounted in these DAYS of Larrabee,
Roosevelt LaFollette. Folk and Cum
Minis Meanwhile Cummins goes on
talking present day questions. fearless
~ and ably, and is too big to be killed
off by political intrigue. He is the
chief spokesman of the square DEAF in
Iowa."
