" some student Of social and eco
nomic conditions, who had visited
Iowa between 1884 and 1894, and who
had since been out of touch with con-
dltion in that State, should return to
the scenes of his former observations
now, he could not be otherwise than
impressed by the change which has
taken place for the better relative to
the regulation of the liquor traffic, ev-
licences of which are present every
where.
From 1884 to 1894 the saloon was
outlawed in every portion of the COM
monwealth, A constitutional amend
ment had been adopted in 1882, pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
all intoxicating liquors within the
State, This amendment was nulliiied
by decision of the Supreme Court
on account of technical Irregularities
In the matter of its submission. But
the dominant party had, by legisla-
tive enactment, established prohibi-
ton as completely as ii could possibly
have been done had the amendment
stood the test of judicial examination.
How comes 1t, then, that one who
had observed conditions in Iowa dur
ing that decade from 1884 to 1894
must, of necessity, note change for
the better at this time?, Iowa aband-
oned statewide prohibition In 1894.
Why should the observer, after the
lapse Of these years, not note change
for the worse rather than change
for the better? II is the same old
story over again, so far as efforts ut
statewide prohibition are concerned,
Prohibition did not prohibit.
Never was II reform entered upon
more confidently on the part of its
advocates than prohibition in Iowa.
The experiment, however, was a fail
ure from the beginning, In many of
theylarger cities no notice of the pro-
hibitory law wss taken. In the So
called River Cities" like Burlington,
Davenport, Clinton and Dubuque, pro-
hibition meant unrestricted traffic in
liquors from the first day of its reign
until the last. Saloonkeepers in these
cities boosted that they had thrown
the keys of their places into the Mis-
sissippi Some of them locked their
front doors from midnight until dawn
week days, and during the entire day
Sundays, but the back doors we're new
err locked. Efforts at endorsements
were so feeble in such cities as to
make II possible to say that no such
effort was ever attempted
In the interior cities and towns
where sentiment against prohibition
was not so pronounced-citie like
Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Council
Bluffs and Sioux City-vigorous eff.
forts at enforcement were made En-
forcement leagues were organized
money raised, the best legal talent
employed; but for the most part the
battle was losing one from the be,
ginning. Liquor continued to be sol,

IOWA AND PROHIBITION
tfrom IIarpcr's Weekly, June 19.l

IN drug-stores, and In out-of-the way
plaCcg-in easements, In back rooms
to restaurants, in barns, cellars, and
even in kitchens of private homes.
Juries would not convict even when
the evidence of guilt was overwhelm-
ing. II soon became impossible to-
elect peace officers not pledged in adj
vance to the notification Of this stat
ute. Blackmail fourished and per-
Jury became so common 1t ceased to-
excite comment. Meantime in many
of the smaller towns of the state con-
ditions were little better than in the
larger places. Here the drugstore
saloon became prominent feature in
the decentralization of the community.
Now and then one of these whiskey-
druggists would be convicted and
fined. but what was Il fine to one who
had entered upon the business Of SELL
ing the vilest whiskey and the cheap
est beer for the money there was In
It? The profits were enormous.
As case in point this illustration
may be cited; In town Of less than
! two thousand people, with what
seemed to be a sufficient number of
whiskey drug-stOres to satisfy the de-
mands of illegal thirst" man per-
sonally known to the writer to be pos
scssed of less than $500 capital estab-
lished an alleged drugstore for the
express purpose of selling intoxicants.
He had scarcely enough money to get
| together make-believe stock of
drugs. In less than ten years this
man sold out and removed from the
scene OF his miserable activity, taxi
| ing with him drafts for something in
excess of $4,000, Every dollar OF
that money represented profits from
liquor sold behind the prescription
case, practically without hindrance, in
violation of the law. During his car
Ger as a whiskey-druggist he lived ex-
! travagantly, according TO the stand
a
ards OF the community In which he re-
sided; and, strange as II may appear,
he and his family were accepted and
| treated by society as though he had
been engaged In IA lawful and thor
oughly respectable business. II was
one OF the anomalies OF the period that
whereas saloon-kcepers who had con-
Quoted their business openly for what
II was, and according TO law, had been
looked down upon, men known of
every one to be nothing else than
saloon-keepers could and did main
tain their standing in society, and Of
ten, in the church, so long as they
were disguised as druggists, no mat,
ter how thin that disguise was, This
case was not exceptional. It was typ,
ical throughout a considerable portion
of the State.
Year by year the conditions grew
worse. Drunkenness was never sc
prevalent and young men never wen
to ruin more rapidly. In Cedar Rap

impose such additional tax as the
governing bodies thereof shall see 1T
to impose. There Is no limit. Sa.

be closed between 10 p. m. and 3
a M. and on Sundays and all legal

Quoted in a single room having but
one entrance or exit, which opens
upon business street. No screens,
blinds or other device OF similar
character are permitted. No furniture
Of any character is allowed In front
of the bar. No female may be en-
ployed about the premises. All forms
of gaming. amusements, and obscene
pictures arc prohibited. The provl.
siOns relative to the establishment of
saloon near church or school
house are drastic, and the consent
of adjacent property owners must be
obtained before saloons can be es.
tablished anywhere.
The beneficial results of this leg,
islation soon became apparent as
to practically silence all criticism. The
Mulct Law, until very recently, was
accepted as the final solution OF the
liquor problem In this state. One
of the best features of the law Is
the one which provides that a saloon
may be established only by petition,

BRYAN JusTIFIEs HIS BOLT.

In hall hired by himself and speak
ing outside the jurisdiction of the
democratic state committee, w. j.
Bryan proclaimed in Lincoln, Neb.
Monday night his political independence
so far as the head of the democratic
state ticket is concerned and justified
his bolt OF James G. Dahlman, candi-
date for governor. He disclaimed any
intention OF becoming a political free
lance in national affairs.
Mr.. Bryan declared himself reg
ular" on all else save the Nebraska
governorship, and gave unstinted in
dorsement to the remainder OF the
state ticket. He insisted that it was
no test OF party regularity for one to
vote tor Mayor Dahlman, because, he
said, Dahlman was not nominated by
the democrats, but by combination
OF the notes OF all parties dominated by
the liquor interests.
For himself, he would do what he
could TO put an end to the spree on
which the democratic party in Nebraska
had embarked; he was not willing that
the party should die of delirium tre'
mems.

CLUB WOMEN AID STRIKERS.

Mounted police in Chicago yesterday
charged threatening mobS Of striking
garment workers and made numerous
arrests in three quarters OF the city,
only to be dumfounded when met by
obdurate groups OF clubwomen and So
ciety leaders, who, when taken into
custody, produced engraved calling
cards at police stations in lieu OF bail
bonds. A score OF these women, cham
pions OF the garment workers, were
taken into custody, but they we're I'M
mediately released when their Identities
became known.
One woman was struck by a police
mans club. Most of the clubwomen
involved in Yesterdays demonstrations
were garbed as working girls and the
police could not distinguish them from
strikers until after arrests were made.
RiJtous and spectacular scenes de-
veloped downtown, on the North Side
aud the West Side. More than 500
men and women engaged in the down
town demonstration, when was broken
up by the police after considerable
trouble. As they left tie headquarters
in Lasalle street the strikers and Their
sympathizers changed bells, blew whis-
ties and footed horns.
The line OF march proceeded into the
wholesale quarter near the Chicago
river, passing large tailoring establish,
ments, whose employees were beckoned
to Join the strikers. More than 1000
took part in one Of several incipient
riots on the West Side. In each in
stance women led the strikers and their
friends.
Promises from wealthy women to
open their homes to destitute striking
girls, offers OF picket service from
women social and club leaders and
pledges OF assistance from many other
women were received yesterday by
Mrs. Raymond Robins, president OF
the Woman's Trade Union League.
