WORKINGS OP PROHIBITION.
When Gov. Sherman, of Iowa,
in his retiring address, announced
the doctrine that the whole power
of the state should be called upon
to enforce the Iowa prohibitory
law, and Gov. Larrabce repeated
the same statement in his inaug
ural, it was observed that this
could mean notlrincr less, in the
last resort, than government by
martial law. The correctness of
the deduction is witnessed bv
occurrences at Des Moines
The capital city ot the state, says
the Pioneer Press, is one of those
which vindicates the majesty and
wisdom of prohibition by support
ing a triile less than three times
as many saloons now as it did
when a license law was in force.
It was perfectly in accord with
the spirit of prohibitory laws that
a first measure should be the issu
ance of a special warrant to search
a private dwelling for liquor, sup
posed to be concealed there. The
occupant failing to appreciate the
beauty oi the new system, which
does not recognize the right of
the citizens to be secure in their
own houses against arbitrary
search at the pleasure of police of
ficials, made resistance. The spe
cial constable thereupon clubbed
him nearly to death. AYe are not
informed whether the suspected
liquor was found or not. But an
unsubmissive public strangely re
sented a trifle like the clubbing of
an old man, and a general indigna
tion meeting was called. It is
stated that there were no threats
or demonstrations looking toward
intended violence. A great out
rage had been committed, and, as
is not unusual, people wanted to
get together and discuss the where
fore of this unaccustomed thing in
a free community. Again the
majesty oi the law came to the
front, and while public rooms were
closed to the proposed assemblage,
two companies of the state militia
were called out and put on duty
for emergencies. This is all very
pleasant reading, and it matches
beautifully with the propositions
of the two governors and the eter
nal fitness of prohibitory laws in
.general.
There is, savs the Pioneer-Press,

this sort of legislation. Prohibi
tion is despotism, pure and simple.
And despotism can be continued
in any American community only
by force of arms. A large pro
portion of city population, includ
ing its full share of intelligent,
law-loving and law-abiding men,
will never yield to what they con
sider the unwise and tyrannical
mandate of a prohibitory liquor
law. To suppress them 3-011 must
put away the guarantees of free
dom, and resort to the only force
capable of doing anything in the
premises, the military power. We
can see in Iowa the net results of
the tentative and wholly ineffect
ual attempt to enforce prohibition.
It has necessitated the overthrow'
of more than one of the funda
mental rights of the individual, as
well as a plain effort to subordin
ate all departments of government
to the will of a narrow majority.
The right of domiciliary security
from intrusion, as we have seen, is
denied. The right to peaceably
assemble and agitate for a redress
of grievance follows suit. Special
officers, appointed to carry out an
obnoxious law, may not only force
entrance to private premises, but
may inflict upon resisting inmates
serious if not fatal bodily injury.
Back of all this is the calling out
of the military at public expense.
to prevent the public from resent
ing trespass upon its primary
riffiits. Ana wntie tnis is geinc:
on in the cit', the legislature as
sembled in the capitol building is
pushing forward a bill of impeach
ment against a member of the su
preme court, the sole charge
against whom is that, after a long
term of faithful and able service,
without a spot upon his name or a
blot upon his reputation, he felt
himself compelled by his judgment
and the law to declare certain fea
tures of the prohibitory law un
constitutional. If any opponent
of prohibition had set himself to
the task of describing abstractly
the necessary consequences of trj'
ing to enforce prohibition upon an
unwilling public, he would hardly
have dared to draw the lines of
his picture as bold, to make the
shadows as deep as those of the
simple relation of facts which the
ordinary news reports bring us
from Iowa.

lOrcgonUn )
They who cast their votes upo:i
the pending amendments should 1
member that the amendments r..-o
not statutes which, if not satisfac
tory, may be easiby and speedily
repealed. When a measure goes
into the fundamental law, even
through an error, it cannot be got
ten out for an indefinite petiod.
No one supposes that the prohi
bition amendment will receive a
majority of all the voters in the
state. Its advocates do not count
upon this, but they have hopes
that the aggregate vote will be
light, and that they will thus get a
majority. That is, they hope that,
while all the supporters of ttje
amendment will put in their
ballots, man' who do not approve
it, but who think there is no possi
bility of its success, will fail to
vote.
The argument now is practically
ended, and little remains but to
call on the people to come out
and vote. There is now above
60,000 voters in the state. At the
presidential election three years
ago the entire vote was about 53,
000. At the 'ast general election,
nearly eighteen months ago, it was
a little over 55,000. It is not to
be supposed, however, that the
vote was full- called out at the
state election of 1886 as at the
presidential election of 1SSM. The
estimate of 60,000 for the present
vote of the state is therefore a
moderate one.
If the whole vote of the state
comes out, the prohibition amend
ment will be beaten by many
thousands. But if the vote falls
far short of the total the result
may be a close one. All the ad
vocates of prohibition will vote;
all its opponents ought to vote,
too. The electors of the state
ought not, through indifference, to
allow an amendment to be carried
into the fundamental law by a ma
jority of the people of the state.
Here is an amendment which, if
allowed to carry, will introduce a
subject which will cause more
contention than anything else ever
seen in Oregon. Efforts to en
force this amendment will absorb
all attention for years. Every
thing else will be sent to the rear;

were a little over 3,000,000,000

to assume that the use of this fas
