HON. s. W. KLAUS FOR STATE sen.
ATOR.

Hon. S. w. Klaus, of Earlyille, has
announced himself as candidate for
State Senator from the Delaware-Bu-
chanan district. Mr. Klaus has repre-
scented Delaware county in the lower
house Of the Iowa legislature for some
time, and has given faithful and eff
Gent service. although Mr.. Klaus is
of another political faith, The Demo-
crat is pleased to acknowledge that
Mr. Klaus has given impartial and
good service while in the lower house,
and he should have no opposition in
his own party in seeking the position
to which he is aspiring, We heartily
endorse what the Hopkinton leader.
said relative to Mr.. Klaus candidacy
in its issue OF last week:
Zion. s. w. KLAUS OF Earlyille an.
thorizes the Leader to say that he will
be 4 candidate for senator frsm the
Delaware Buchanan district, at the
spring primaries. The announcement,
OF course, ID mo- surprise, for Il has
been custom to promote our repre-
sentativesi to the Upper chamber in
due season. Mr.. Klaus has capablyi
served two terms as representative
from this county. Previous to that he
had been influential in political cir
cles and alive to the needs OF the
county. While staunch republican
IN the full meaning OF the term, he
has at the same time been nonparti-
san in his political dealings with the
home folks. That is to say. his SER
,vicss have been freely at the command
OF his democratic friends for things
political that were OF merit. Mr.
klaus record at Des Moines has been
that of ! popular member Of the house
and IN Industrious workers The repu-
tation counts at home as well as at
the capitol.
4 'FOr many years there has been .
gentlenan's agreement between Della
ware and Buchanan counties that the
office Of senator will be alternated
between the two counties. Hlkher c9rntI
ty picks good man IN IT'D turn sapG
the agreement has not been vi0l&ted
for 90 long that the memory OF man
scarcely runneth to the contrary. So
far % the Leader knows there will
be NO opposition to Mr.. Klaus. and
therefore it 10 safe to predict that he
will be. the next senator from the dis
trict. His service in the lower house.
his experience on many important
committees, and the acquaintance that
he has Of the needs ofa the state and
the laws which need remodaling will
mako him an Invaluable worker in
the 1eiAts. w believe. that the citi
izsens Gt the county viii generally ap-
prove his decision to become candi-

WAR TINE DRY
ACT Is UPHELD
SUPREME COURT DECLARES Law
Is CONSTITUTIONAL. RULING
MADE MONDAY.
NO ACTION ON BEER CASES.
High Courts Decision on Prohibition
Measure is Unanimous. Beer
Gases Next Monday.

War time prohibition was held con-
stitutional Monday by the supreme
court in unanimous decision decid-
ing appeals from Kentucky and New
York. Thus vanished the hopes OF
many for . 'wet" holiday time.
The federal court DEGREES in New
York, dismissing proceedings brought
by Dryfoos Blum and company to
compel internal revenue officers to
permit the withdrawal from bond Of
whiskey for beverage purposes, were
affirmed by the court, ~ e;
In deciding the question the su-
preme court also dissolved the In
functions restraining revenue oflf-
cials from interfering with the remov-
al from bond Of about 10000, 900 gall
Ions Of whiskey valued at approx
mately $75,0DO.OoO held BY the Ken
lucky Distilleries and Warehouse Co.
OF Louisville, KY. i
No Action On Beer Cases.
No decision was rendered on the 20.
called "becr" cases involving the con-
stitutionality OF the V0lstead law, the
prohibition enforcement act frsmed
to carry out the intent OF the prohi-
bition amendment TO the constitution
!, In passing, however. Associate JUS
tice Brandeis, who read the decision.
d1d hold that the prohibition amend
mAnt was binding on the states as
we'll as the federal government.
The signing OF the armistice did not
abrogate the war powers Of congress-,
Associate Justice Brandeis said n
reading the decision OF the court. Jus-
tice Brandeis said the government did
not appropriate the liquor by stop
ping its domestic sale, as the way was
left open for exporting II.
Wilson Statement Not ProclanatIon.
Justice Brandeis said there was no
basis for the contention that Presi-
dent Wilson's statement, In his mes
sage vetoing the prohibition enforce
nient act, that the war had come TO-
an end. was o procls lsIpation ann0unc
ing the termination sOf the war.
The court entirely reversed the con-
tention OF the "wets" that war time
prohibition was outside the war time
powers Of Congress- and pointed ont
that war time control of food and
railroads still were IN effect.
The decision added one Of the final
milestones to- the long fight to make
the country dry.
e Beer Cases Next Monday.
The court will render opinions on
next Monday, at which time the "beer"
cases afe expected to b deciCed. after
which tAe court will recess until JAM.
uary 5.
Upon the courts decision on the
prohibition enforcement law will de-
pend whether the federal govern
ment has at hand any legal means for
making the amendment effective. The
constitutionality Of war time prohi-
bition. however, the drys are conii-
dent. will keep the country dry until
the amendment is carried into eflect
by law Of its own.
