.4 PROHIBITION STATE.
Iowa is a prohibition state. Prohi
bition (with a big P) flourishes in
Iowa. So the prohibitionists say.
Prohibition prohibits in Iowa. Of
course; the prohibitionists say it does,
so it must.
But here are the figures from the in
ternal revenue receipts of the United
States last year:
IOWA.
Tax upon distilled spirits, $2,138,
65G.28; upon fermented liquors, 195,
693.52; penalties, $10,517.01; upon to
bacco, $202,409.81; total, $2,547,281.62.
For a state where prohibition is a
success, there seems to be a heap of
whisky payin&taxes in Iowa. These
figures are official, are exact; they rep
resent what has been receipted fer:
there is no rubbing them out
But they do not represent the addi
tional thousands and tens of thousands
of gallons of liquor smuggled down
men's gullets in the Hawkeyo state,
nor do they show the hundreds of lit
tle dealers who take out no U. S. li
cense. Let us all vote for free whisky and
the amendment, and then prohibition
will "be a "success" in Oregon the
same kind of a success it is in Iowa
The Astobian opposes prohibition
because in its judgment prohibition is
not American; it is an impossible the
ory, a business mistake. Duty and to
day are eurs: results and futurity be
long to God. It is the duty of an
American citizen to resent attacks on
hispersonal liberty; to oppose infringe
ment of his personal rights. If preju
dice or inability to see results affect his
judgment, it is unfortunate; but every
man can only act from a sincere con
viction, and whether for or against, it
is a fair presumption that what he
does is in accordance with his honest
belief. The Astobian would be sorry
to see prohibition carry, for it is its
belief that if it did, it would but in
augurate a bitter personal spying sys
tem that would make this community
and every community in the state
unpleasant to live or do bus
iness in. It is, however, unnec
essary to discuss imaginary circum
stances. The Astobian has too much
faith in the good judgment, the busi
ness sense, the sober, quiet reason of
its readers to suppose that they will
next Tuesday endorse by an affirma
tive vote the present effort to accom
plishthe impossible; to plunge the
state in financial chaos in a chase af
ter the ideal and unattainable. The
mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the
eye: the more light you pour on it,
the more it contracts; but an unpreju
diced judgment is always ready to re
ceive impressions and act in accord
ance with the light it receives.
Are you in faror of the prohibition
amendment? If not, please give your
roaBons for opposing it.
The above question asked Judge
Matthew P. Deady, was answered by
him as follews:
''I am not in favor of prohibition,
because I know from experience and
in the nature of things that prohibi
tion is incapable of reasonable or
practical enforcement Prohibition
will put the liquor business into the
hands of the worst and most irre
sponsible elements in the community
and thereby magnify the evils grow
ing out of the use and sale of liquors.
I want to see the sale of liquor gov
erned by a good license law which
will put it and keep it in the hands of
comparatively respectable people who
will not make it an engine of corrup
tion and crime. Besides, I don't be
lieve the state has the moral right to
say -whether the individual should
drink or not so long as he does not
use liquor to excess. Nor do I think
I ought to compelled to wear a
straight jacket because my neighbor
is out of his head, nor to be limited or
restrained in my diet because my
neighbor is afflicted with drunken
ness." The strong rooted sensibility in
women is the cause of their charac
teristic persistency in all matters that
depend in any considerable degree on
sentiment It is in vain to combat
sentiment with reasons. A woman
with strong passions and fine sensibil
ity will hold by her instincts, and
leave your arguments to float, and in
so-doing may, in some cases, be right;
but if the case is one in which cool
judgment and not keen feeling is to
decide she will probably be wrong.
Arguments in such cases are stronger
with a man, because he is naturally
less richly furnished "with sentiment
or has trained himself to keep his
sentiment in subjection; but with the
woman it is omnipotent, as belonging
radically to the constitution of her na
ture. A Sunny Room
