Carrie Started Il.

Ledger.
We tilt an occasional pointless lance
at prohibition, but we have no quarrel
with any national policy which the ma
Jor1ty deems just and WISE The thing
that Is sand upon our mental gear in
that the organs, the "Pussyfoot' John
sons and the Andersons are to have the
glory that accrues from the extension
OF the arid belt, the unchecked sweep
OF the aqua pura motif The woman
who started tt all lies In an obscure
grave For all we know, II may be
unmarked; we never saw IT. If she is
not forgotten, her name, at least, has
not been mentioned in the circumstance
In order to refresh public memory
which is singularly unretentive, we
state the fact that 1t was Carrie Nation.
Carrie Nation had lived the greater part
OF what had been a wholly uneventfui
life in surroundings that were poor and
obscure. The, SO to speak, blight Of
liquor had never laid q moldy finger
upon her. All at once, when past 50
years of age and presumably interned
Tor life within the narrow confines Of
rural community, she burst upon the
consciousness of nation in a maudhn
and nl-propr-ioned attack on booze.
There was no sense to her rawlings and
neither reason nor order In her meth
DDS But she lit the match that set off
the mine under the traffic In intoxicat-
Ing liquors. And she lies in grave as
obscure as the community from which
she sprang, and her name never is men
TONED in the connection.

DEMOCRATS SEEM TO
~ HAVE BIG FIGHT ON

Des Moines, Ia, July 1.-THE pres
ent indications are that the demo-
cratic state convention to be held in
Cedar Rapids July 20 will be no love
feast Instead fight will be staged
between the two factions which were
alienated at San Francisco for state
control with possibilities that the con-
vention will be confronted with the
alternative of electing a state cen
trail committee favorable to the
Meredith Porter Herring wing of the
party or nominating partially new
state ticket.
If Wilbur Marsh. Of Waterloo,
mick Reed, of Ottumwa, and doc"
Reynolds, of Creston, win out in the
state convention in re-electing their
men &c the state central commit
tees there is possibility that Her
ring will withdraw as candidate
for governor and Porter as candi-
date for United States senator.

perhaps come up to that before
the building is completed as on

will not be completed. The Clo-

they are progressive by thus
