DISSENTING OPINIONS OF o. s
SUPREME COURT JUDGES.

Justices Holmes and Vanderventer
refused to concur in the recent far
reaching decision Of the Federal
Supreme Court on the liquor ques-
ton. That does not mean that these
two judges will continue to dissent
from the opinion Of the majority.
When new questions come before
the court the judges frequently dis
agree, but the decision Of the majority
becomes the law of the land. There
after the opinion of the majority
has, as rule, the unanimous support
of all the judges.
While politics should not, and usu-
ally does not enter into the opinions
of our courts, it is not out Of place
to note that in this instance the two
dissenting judges are republicans.
And to note the further fact that Taft
vetoed this act, because he consider
ed it unconstitutional, and congress
passed it over his veto.

HIGHEST COURT GIVES JOHN
BARLEYCORN A BODY BLOW.

The Supreme Court of the United
States, by a vote Of 7 to 2, upholds
the Webb-Kenyon law, which gives
states power to prohibit the ship
ments of intoxicating liquors within
or across their borders. This will
put an end to shipments, under the
guise of Interstate commerce, of in
toxicants from "wet" to "dry" states.
It will also put an end to the flood
ing of the mails with liquor adver-
tisements in prohibition states.
Chief Justice White, in delivering
the opinion of the court, said:
1.-THE all-reaching power of
G government over liquor is settled.
There was no intention of con-
gress to forbid individual use
of liquor. The purpose Of this
act was to cut out by the roots
the practice of permitting violation
of state liquor laws. We can
have no doubt that congress has
complete authority to prevent
paralyzing of state authority.
Congress exerted a power to CO.
ordinate the national with the
state authority"

cost about 100000, exclusive of in
terror work and finishing. The COM
pleted plant will represent an outlay
of million dollars.
Big Demand for an Increase in Wages.
It is estimated that the general as
sembly will be asked to provide for an
increase in the salaries paid to at least
800 of its faithful servants. The dis
trict judges, some fifty of them, want
the salary to go from $4,000 and trav-
cling expenses to $4,000 and the pres
ent requisites. DR.. Gibson will ask
that all Of the assistant state veter-
inarians be given an advance in sal
airy, his own salary included. The
high cost Of living is given as a suffi-
cient cause for asking the advance but
thus far there have been no threatened
designations. An increase of 10 per
cent. in the salaries of state house
employees has been suggested as about
the proper caper. In his message to
the general assembly it is understood
that, Gov. Clarke will make some ref
erence to the matter. He believes
that readjustment Of salaries should
be made. Heads of departments who
have had the faculty of inducing the
legislators to increase appropriations,
have been able to get the pay OF their
employees raised beyond that Of clerks
of other departments where the vol
ume Of work is equal, the governor,
says. Some departmental heads who
have had more nerve than others,
have also gotten higher pay for their
state officials say.

LAWSON AN iMposToR.

Thomas w. Lawson, Of Boston, re-
ceived lot of free advertising in the
recent investigation concerning the
peace note leaks. He pretended to
know all about it and promised to
make sensational disclosures before
the investigating committee but when
the time came his testimony amount
ed to nothing but buster Of empty
talk.
His attitude is a remindef of the
days Of "Frenzied Finance. AS the
author of series of articles which
appeared under that title in popular
magazine he limited at sensational oc-
currences on the Boston copper ex-
change. Month after month he prom
Used to make the disclosures. After
following his articles for over year

moralist he is an impostor, but as
a self advertiser he is success.

"a PREDICTION RATHER THAN "A
LEAK.

A good deal is being said these days
about leaks, or rather advance in
formation of official action.
ID It is more than probable that what
some men call 'leak" is nothing
more than we'll balanced prediction.
On the 9th of last month this paper
said:
aThe flooding of the mails with
booze circulars is a nuisance that will
ere long be sternly dealt with by the
Federal Government"
Now we had no advance information
.0f what the Supreme Court was going
10 decide in reference ito the Webb
Kenyon statute.
We knew that a decision was about
TO be rendered, and We believed that
the highest court in the land would
hold that Federal authority should
not interfere with state laws in the
enforcement of police regulations.
Hereafter the Federal and State
statutes must coordinate, must work
together and not at cross purposes,
must be SO construed that both may
be enforced.

10 THE DEMOCRATS OF IOWA.

Real democracy IS stronger today
than it ever has been since Thomas
Jefferson proclaimed the immortal
doctrine of the equality of all men.
In the recent election the nation has
shown its loyalty to the greatest dem
ocrat since the days of Jefferson
iowa did not give full expression
to its real democratic spirit. The
contest upon state isues over-shadow-
ed the presidential election. because
many of Mr.. Wilson's most ardent
supporters could not feel that there
was chance to carry Iowa. In 1912,
the progressive party split the repub-
1ican party, and Iowa gave it's cleo
toral vote to Wilson; but this year,
most of the progressives in Iowa re-
turned to the party fold. But it is
mighty gratifying to know that in the
four years since 1912, President Will
son has gained every day in the af-
fections and in the confidence of the
people of Iowa. President Wilson
secured 1894 more votes in 1916
then he did in 1872 In 1912 his total
vote. in Iowa was 1S5,325; in 1916,
i his total vote was 221,699, an increase
of nearly 20 per cent. This increase
in such radically republican state
Is a wonderful tribute to the presi-
dent, and speaks well for the work
~of the organization.
ut is a glorious thing to see the
presidency decided by the real sincere
men and women of the wholesome
vest. It has in it a promise of better
Legislation in the interest of the mas
ses. President Wilson has broken
the hold Of Wall street upon the poll
tics Of the country, and hereafter, in
stead OF dominating, it will be humbly
seeking only its legitimate rights.
.We were disappointed in the vote
Tor Mr.. Meredith, one of the ablest,
cleanest men who ever ran for COVER
nor upon any ticket in Iowa. The
campaign Of many of his republican
friends, alienated many democratic
votes, and it has been demonstrated
that at the last moment, the party
lash brought the republicans to sup
mort Mr.. Harding. But even with all
the frantic efforts of those opposed tc
MI. Meredith and Notwithstanding
that some Of our own democrats fail,
ed to support him, Mr.. Meredith in
creased the party vote for governor
over the vote of 1912. In 1912, Dunn
received 1S2,449 votes. In 1916, Mr.
Meredith received 1S6,94S votes. Sc
!. It will be seen that Meredith actually
received 4499 more votes than did the
democratic candidate in the 191:
presidential election.
Meredith also received 4,912 votes
more than did Hamilton, our candi
date for governor in 1914.

A CONCLUSIVE PEACE.
Chicago Tribune.)

| II there is one point that all thu
belligefent peoples and all the neu
trails will agree upon, it is that the
present war, more devastating in ex.
tent than any other in the worlds
history, shall be followed by ICON.
elusive peace. Never again Ell.
presses the mood of most men and the
hope that somehow a peace which
shall last may be achieved probably il
the only thing that sustains them.--in
the midst of the tremendous effort
and sacrifice they are making.
We are all talking, therefore, of a
conclusive peace" But what is a
conclusive peace? The militarist and
the extreme partisan think a conclu-
sive peace is one which follows a
knockout" If the adversary is not
PROSTATE, If he is not helpless and
hopeless, the peace is nomenclature.
History does not support this theo-
ry. The English and Scotch fought
for centuries to an inconclusive peace
which endures today and always will
endure. The English crushed the
Irish and the conclusive peace has
been a running sore in the side of
Braitain ever since. In military
sense most of Napoleon's victories
were conclusive, most of his peaces
based on them were conclusive. Yet
they were never conclusive in the
sense of bringing enduring peace.
Nothing could be more conclusive than
the debacle which France suffered in
1870. But 1914 was an answer to tsat
fatal fallacy. The Germen armies
triumphed at Sadowa, but, Germany
made an inconclusive peace. Austria
was left standing, and today she
stands shoulder to shoulder with her
conqueror of 1866 against com son
foe.
The craftsmanship of Bismark dis
cerned the fallacy of the conclusive
peace on that occasion. He did not
hope to destroy his adversaries. It
is said he opposed the taking Of AL
SAGE and wished to make an incon-
elusive peace with France, but was ov-
erruled by military opinoin, which
hoped to end forever the threat Of
resurgent France. AS result of
conclusive peace in 1870 France
cherished revenge for generation,
and today Alsace is a rock in the path
of a sorely needed peace.
The Crimean war closed with an
inconclusive peace. France and Eng
land, who fought Russia then, are
her allies today. Our war with Eng
land in 1912 ended with an inconclu-
sive peace. 1t has been followed by a
hundred years of peace. The war be-
tween Russia and japan ended in an
inconclusive peace. Russia and Jap
an are fighting side by side little over
decade later.
In history the Conclusive peace"
has often been most ,inconclusive; the
inconclusive peace the most enduring.
