AN OPEN LETTER TO THE VOT-
Frs OF WINNESHIEK COUNTY.

Iowa has come to the eliminating
point of twenty years of temperance
Legislation On October fifteenth,
we shall vote on the question of con-
Istitutional prohibition. There is no
great public issue which has eXercis-
ed a more vicious and demoralizing
influence upon our politics than has
the liquor question. We have chosen
officials, not for their qualifications
as men, but because of their attitude
on this question.
A meeting of those interested in
the passing of the constitutional
amendment was held at DEBORAH on
Wednesday, September 90, for the
purpose of perfecting an organization
to aid in passing the amendment. The
following officers were elected:
President-Reverend S. A. Scarvie.
First Vice Pres.-Rev. NJ. Willett.
Second Vice Pres.-Senator L. NJ.
Enger.
Third Vice Pres.-L. T. Fosse.
Fourth Vice Warren Hoyt
Fifth Vice Pres.-T. A. Jayne.
Sixth Vice Pres.-Rev. Healey.
Seventh Vice Pres.-Representa
tive H. p. Nicholson.
Eighth Vice Pres.-Rev. T. o.
Tolo.
Treasurer Richard Schrubbe.
Secretary-T. E. Thompson.
1t was decided to secure a commit
tee of three in each township of the
county to emphasize the necessity of
going to the polls on Monday, Oct. Is.
Monday, Oct. l, another meeting was
held at which arrangements were
made for ca1vassing the county in
the interests of the amendment We
hope that every friend of the Tenn
perance cause will give these canvas
sers all possible aid and support.
The issue is before us clean cut
shall Iowa be wet, or dry? Our citi-
zens have gone on record time and
again as opposed to the liquor traffic,
and there will be no backward step
now. This is the first time since 1882
that we have had an opportunity for
a direct expression of opinion on this
question from the individual voters.
There are 10 candidates now to con-
fuse the issue: it is-WET, or DRY?
The eyes of the entire country are
fastened on us residents of Iowa at
the present time. Should the Amend
nient. fail to carry, the liquor forces
will take new heart, for they will hail
the result as a reputation of all the
temperance legislation il Iowa for
twenty years.
Let us take the liquor problem out
cf politics, and solve it once for all.
Let us relieve our legislators of this
burdensome and disagreeable task of
spending time and energy on liquor
| Legislation at each session. Remem-
! berthe question has not been set
tied until the Amendment has been
adopted Until then. any legislature
could undo the WORK CT tive IT, years.
We must cli1ch the issue! A de eat OF
the Amendment new, after twenty
years of progressive legislation
when modern conditions in business
in the field of skilled labor, il the
professional world .demand keen
acute, and clear minds as never be-
fore when there is a worldwide SEN
timent in favor of temperance which
is unique in history, in the welter OF
a great world war which is strainine
our every energy, would be unthink'
able.
If liquor be a bad thing in the

Mr.. ]. H. Ayre, of Sioux City, was
in DEBORAH Monday and he gave us
some facts about Winneshiek couiNy
crops this year from his careful OBJ
seryations, He is with the State Mu-

around the county a great deal. He
told us Monday morning that we
would have 60 per cent Of a good
corn crop, including feed, AID 80 per
cent mature grain. We also have the
biggest small grain crop raised here
in twenty years. The straw is all per-
feet and good as average hay.
Winneshiek county leads every
county in the state in hay. Five coun-
ties in Northeastern Iowa have 40
per cent of the hay crop. He says al
so our pastures are the best in the
state and will carry clean through to
hard weather.
Garden products were never bet
ter and immense crops. Potatoes
acre for acre, are the best in the state
he says. (and from what we have
seen we fully agree with HIND.
The fruit crop is also as good as
can be found in the state
in other words he considers that
we have got the best all around crop
we have had in 20 years, and the pri-
ces are also the best in % years.

Delivery Boys on Strike.

The strike fever reached DEBORAH
Monday and affected the delivery
boys in. the employ of the B. NJ.
Graham delivery system. The wage
question was the principal one en-
volved, but we notice the delivery
system is still running and the house
wives are getting their goods on time.
Some of the boys are still striking,
and from what we understand their
demands will not be met, and new
employees have filed their places.
Such is life in these troublesome
times.
