PANIC IN LIQUOR.
Sioux City JournaLl

The frantic efforts of the liquor man
focturers TO get their stocks of goods
out OF the country before the expor-
+ation doors are closed against them
on Jan. Is are much like those or the
I. w. w. and other disloyal elements
70 get under cover when the govern
rnent gets on their trail. The liquor
interests have been able TO influence
governmental action in their favor LOT
so long that they could not believe the
end Of their day had come. They be-
lleved the president would be able 10
lift the ban on liquor sales for a oriel
period so that in one last Wild orgy
of drunkenness the people would ouy
and consume the stores yet on hand.
They have been rudely awakened to
the fact that they no longer have any
influence in government and that the
people will no longer tolerate their
open defiance of the law. They will
have no sympathy If the entire supply
out of which they intended to make
their last rich profits is confiscated
and destroyed by the government.
The liquor men and their attorneys
may fume and rage and rant about the
fight for the overthrow of prohibition
having Just commence. but the pub
lie knows the frantic struggles are
the death commissions of the liquor
business and that while It may retain
sufficient life to respond to the gal
vanic test. it will never recover suf-
ficentIy to stand upon its feet much
less walk and act. Having lived for
generations in defiance of the moral
law the fountain head Of the evils Of
Intoxicating liquors has come - the
end Of the road. It is cndeavoring to
save the last reserves of its vitality by
shipping its product out Of the coun-
try Within a month the doors OF the
business in this country will be closed
and sealed for all time. The people
who have been engaged in the bust
ness may turn their attention to legiti-
mate purposes or suffer the conse-
qucrCes of their ohtuse course cut
short by the action Of the people.

Or. Russell II. conwell, whose name
and person lie familiar to lyceum pa
irons says he has been holding verbal
conversation with the disembodied
spirit Of his dead wife who appears TO
him dressed as she was upon earth
and advises him as to his acts and
purposes. He says she has been see
ing her for four years and but lately
made up his mind 20 disclose It. In
duced by the numbers Of those who had
lost friends and relatives In the war
he came. he says, 70 the conclusion
that he should relate his alleged ex-
periences.
Dr. Conwell's statement will carry
weight 10 the minds of many people.
There is a very strong desire TO be-
lieve that communicate can DC held
with the dead which has been greatly
accumulated by the war and its ter
rible losses. \ revival of the "seancc"
and related instances of successful
communication with the spirit world
and its population follows a great war.
1t was so succeeding the civil war.
Love and memory grasp at the straws
of hope.
Still, II such communication Is pos
sible why are spirit visitations con-
fined only to the few? Why DR.. Con-
we'll and Conan Doyle more than the
millions of others who crave commu-
nication with their dead Surely
they loved and were loved no more
than hundreds of thousands Of other
persons who mourn infinite loss. It
can not be assumed that DR.. Conwelrs
wife IS more anxious than millions Of
other loving wives are TO appear TO
their bereaved husbands or that death
less affection is the personal attribute
Of isolated bereavement. Who more
than others would strive to comrnu-
nicate than the lad who died with
mother" on his lips in the muck and
blood Of a foreign battlefield?
From the evidence outside DR.. Con-
wells testimony but one conclusion
presents ttself-that he Is under hal
Inclination. That the hope exists Of
communication between the dead and
the living suggests in itself the posi-
oility that such communication may
be established. But there is no con-
| crete evidence that may be tudically
accepted Of success. The veil lies be-
tween no doubt, with a wise purpose.
He Is bold or foolish man who shall
proclaim any discovery impossible
however. But 1t is very different
thing TO say that there is no evidence
that can be accepted Of personal COM
munication between the living and the
dead

JOHN SPARGO
WRITESLETTER
TO GOV. CLEMENT

John Spargo, the well known so
cialst who now resides III Bepnlng-
ton, has written a strong letter TO
Gov. Clement, urging him to recon-
slider his apparent decision in calling
an extra session Of the Legislature,
particularly since Maine and Massa-
chusetts have ratified the amendment.
In his letter Mr.. Spargo says, after
careful and searching inquiry in
Washington, ten southern states will
not act and only three northern
states arc yet to be heard from, Yer
mont, Connecticut and New Jersey.
In the latter state the feeling on the
prohibition questions prevents I
straight vote on the suffrage amend
mcnt. and in Connecticut the govern
or refuses to call a special session.
81 am Informed that substantial
majority Of the members of the Sen
ate have already expressed their will
lingncss to attend Il special session
for the purpose of considering the
Suffrage amendment at Then own eX-
penic. am also informed, upon
what | believe to be good authority,
that very nearly half the members
of the House have expressed them
selves as being willing to make Il
similar sacrifice. As / understand it,
these men have signiiied their will
ingncss to do this without i'll a-y
manner committing themselves upon
the subject of ratification. Quite pos
sibly some of them will prove to be
strong opponents; that, of course, is
their right.
at seems to me, therefore, that
the issue of the expense involved is,
or can be, reduced to a very small
proportions | need hardly remind
you that you can call special scs-
sion IL such manner as to strictly
limit it to the consideration of this
one question. 1t is hardly likely that
such a session would last more than
u couple of days, so that even if the
entire expense had to be horne by
the state (Which the willingness of
the legislators to forego their eX-
penses and salaries makes improb-
able), the amount would. be very
small, in fact, to be seriously consid-
cred"
