cripple, died before police could
take him to the county hospital.
Farrell had been crippled from
childhood. Although he weighed
200 pounds, and had an immense
body above the hips, his legs had
never developed.
He was notorious in the carly
days of Tacoma as a fighter, hav-

had no relatives.
Dependency over inability to
obtain liquor, is credited by the
police as the cause of his suicide.

BREWERS OPEN THEIR
CAMPAIGN IN IOWA

Ft. Madison, Ia.-Carl Minkley, rep
resenting the International Union of
the United Brewery Workmen of Gin
cinnati opened the wet campaign in
this city on August 49, speaking in
the Kennedy building. The opposition
to the pending constitutional amend
ment to be voted on October Is is be-
ing organized under the direction of
the International brewery Workmen,
through Mr.. Minkley, who has con-
Quoted wet campaigns in many states
with considerable success. The brew
cry organization therefore places him
at the front of the wet campaign in
Iowa to oppose the making of prohE
bltlon permanent by writing it into
the constitution of the state.
In his address here opening the
wet campaign, Mr.. Minkley explained
to the people that. should the proposed
amendment be adopted, it would make
the dry policy permanent and that it
would be several years at least before
another constitutional amendment
campaign could be pulled off, Where
as, the speaker urged, if the amend
ment was voted down, the subject
could be brought up again at any time
by any legislature.
Mr. Minkley deplored the use of
WHISKY but urged that the people
should retain their personal freedom
by using wine and beer. He urged
that the localities should decide
whether saloons should be run ard
that the people Of the state should
not make it state wide dry policy.

campaign by. speaking in Ottumwa

STATUTORY PROHIBITION
ALWAYS TEMPORARY

Mr.. j. B. Weede, campaign manager
OF the Allied Temperance COMMITTEES
In Iowa, calls attention to the fact
that whenever Prohibition has been
repealed in any state, it has always
been statutory Prohibition. Statutory
Prohibition is always temporary and
subject to all sorts of political up
heavals so that the issue gets often
confused with other issues and leg
lslature can sometimes be found that
will repeal the statute.
THE purpose of the constitutional
amendment on which the people will
vote at the special election on October
18th" says Mr.. Weede, '.is not to add
anything to our prohibition law or to
take anything away from it. 1t is
merely to make the dry policy the
permanent program of the state and
forever take the troublesome ques-
ton out of politics, thereby giving the
people chance to raise corn without
this thing perpetually staring them in
the face In proof of his claim, Mr..
Weede calls attention to the following
list of states whose legislatures have
once adopted statutory Prohibition
and afterwards got guggled out Of it,

CONSTITUTION is THE
PEOPLES LAW

The coming Iowa special election,
October 10, to vote on the proposed
dry constitutional amendment brings
to mind the fact that the constitution
Is the peoples law. The people alone
can adopt constitution or amend
ments thereto. A constitution and it's
amendments constitute the peoples
Instructions to their legislature.
On the other hand, the people can
not ,enact statute. The legislature
only can do that.
If, therefore, the people ratify the
prohibition amendment in October. it
will have the effect of confirming or
Nratifying the prohibition statute al
ready passed by the Legislature and
will make prohibition the permanent
policy of the state.
On the other hand, If the people re.
fuse to adopt the dry amendment in
October, it will serve to repudiate the
action of the legislature in enacting
the prohibition statute. Under such
a contingency, the legislature would
feel that they were morally bound to
listen to the voice of the people and
repeal the dry policy which the peo-
pie themselves had repudiated.
The election therefore involves the
whole dry policy of the state and for
that reason the outside liquor inter
ests- with headquarters in Cincinnati
are making strenuous efforts to in
