FREIGHT CAR
WAS ROBBED
THIEVES, HOWEVER, FAILED TO
GET AWAY WITH TWO BIG BOX
Es FILLED WITH SHIRTS, THAT
WERE RECOVERED BY POLICE.

Thieves broke open and robbed a
through freight car some time during
yesterday morning, but failed to get
away with two large dry goods boxes,
both of which were filed with shirts
of almost every description
These boxes were found by the PO-
lice early yesterday morning, and are
now at the police station.
The car broken into was one for
Jacksonville, and as a result il is not
known what it contained, and it is
possible that some boxes of goods
have been stolen II is the belief,
however, that the thieves had just Sc
cured the two boxes and were max
ing away with them when they were
discovered. A candle found near one
of the boxes showed that it had been
used inside the car, which was on a
side track near the depot.

the prohibitory law is to be found in
the election Of Governor Boies in
1889. Prohibition was one Of the lead
ing issues in the campaign of that
year and 1t was well known that a
democratic victory would mean a
change of policy in the matter of
liquor legislation"
In 1894 the reaction against abso-
lutte prohibition resulted in the, enact.
ment Of the mulct law which still re-
mains in force. Thus. says the
author, while the prohibitory law
was not repealed it was provided that
that law might be violated upon the
payment of certain sum of money
and the consent of certain number
of voters" The liquor laws since
1894 have been in the nature of
amendments to the prohibitory and
mulct laws.
In summarizing the relation of the
liquor problem to political parties,
Mr.. Clark makes the following state.
N'S~--~S
ment:
The liquor problem has beeneso In
terwoven with state politics that no
campaign or election since 1856 can
be fully understood without taking in
to account the influence of 81 this
much mooted question Indeed the
history Of the republican sparty in

consistently opposed prohihition

Fmuch of the anxiety which their=oppo-
nents have experienced in shaping
their policies in regard to this ques-
tion. The prohibitionixts as a. politi-
cal party have made but littleAshow-

toward prohibition is discernible.
Prohibitory Law Of 1855.
Neal Dow's famous Maine Law
enacted in. 1851, filled temperance
leaders in Iowa with determination
to secure a similar law for this
state. After repeated failures to
gain the desired legislation it was
decided to force the leading political
parties to take notice of the prohibi
tion question. In speaking of this
first Introduction of temperance into
politics, Mr.. Clark says:
Temperance leaders had, since
the earliest territorial days, been
decidedly opposed to any introduction
of the temperance question into pol
itics.
Ger ain resolutions, however, adopted
by the state temperance convention,
which met at Iowa City December q,
1853. indicate that majority Of the,
leaders had. by this time, come to
view the connection OF the temper
ance question with politics in very
different light. They had come to
realize that to secure legislation they
desired. they must elect men to the
lesislAture who were pledged to sup
pert their principles. or. at least. that
there muat be some special induce
ment to vote for such law"
The result Of this changed atti-
tnde was that in 1854 the whig party
placed plank In its platform favor
ing prohibition.
With the support of a leading
political party the. movement forl
prohibition gained strength and on
January q, 1885, triumphsd ini ths}
