words which were in vogue when the
prohibition question was acute in Iowa,
as they in turn were then imported
here from other states where they had
previously done like service. 1t seems
almost literal reproduction OF the
literature that then flooded Iowa. But
the excitement is really intense and
vital and the agitation widespread.
Whether the result will be con-
tinuation of the receding wave of pro-
hlb1tion in the south, marked by Its
defeat in Texas and recent abandon
ment in Alabama, or whether the move
ment will gain a new impetus by con-
quest of kentucky, is of course uncer-
tain at this distance. The former is the
best its opponents hope while the lat
ter Is what its sincere advocates are
lighting for But in either event the
democratic leaders. who have much to
lose, are evidently fearful OF getting the
worst of it.

WORKING WOMEN IN CHAM GANGS.

a woman TO work on the streets in the

Down in Missouri recently a farmer
hitched his wife with a span OF mules
and drove her with them as he nc
dragged his field. The court Which
passed upon his case was severe in its
condemnation Notwithstanding the as
sertion Of the husband shat he did it
to prevent her running away with an
other man and as punishment for pas
offences. But the ignorant cracker
farmer is farther from barbarism than
the lola Judge.

KENTUCKY PERTURBED.
ISioux City Journal

1t is Kentuckys turn now to be both
cred with prohibition. There it is in
the form of county wide prohibition by
option, professedly by the prohibition
lists as long intermediate step to state
prohibition. And the campaign is be-
ing fornidably pressed, almost to the
submergence already Of interest in 9TH
er questions.
Naturally it Is the democratic frog
that finds itself most uncomfortably
under the harrow. The democrats,
after two generations Of control, are
still really the majority. The choppy
seas and cross currents of such agita-
tons always make rough sailing for
the majority party. And SO Colonel
Watterson and the other colonies and
the captains of tens and the captains Of
hundreds find themselves hard put to
it. not merely to navigate the ship, but
even to agree on a course. The re-
publicans meantime industriously con-
tribute to their embarrassment. The
democrats, in short, are grievously
divided

is the reduplication in the Kentucky
convention of the arguments, the ap-
peals, the maneuvers and even the

IT want to say frankly to you, gentle
