It was finally decided to i-sue an address to the public and a coinmil ice was appointed to prej.are an address for this purpose? It speaks for ilst If. The following is the address: To the Citizens ot Atlanta: In addiii-n to the ini.uy niginnents ir.ucative <f- he pt st o ; of the anti-prohibitionists off-niton conn y ;.n i :h . ity of Atlanta, the party of devotion to the prineiple.s of free govcrnn.eit, too n-.i vat ism. rie (enipciunve and toleration, the following is ]>tv.«ente<i: In May, 1885, j rior: > the 1 )cai oi tion election in this c< uuty, membeis of tlie geiie:al council of the city v. ho have ever since supported prohibition voted to inure.i<' ti e license charge fur l:.c retail of li<:u.-rs t:om 8 ’O'J to 0 > per annum, and th'? in crease cx-Mayor 11 iltyc-r,I v hisvviteon a tie, st t lining the increase. The . MO rale was in iorce wiuui the local option election wa- held, and in hr that rate the nun. e of pht-vs . : which ii -r yas sold v,as great’.y iv iiu ed. ilt’. ce, the prohibitionists fli-st increa<i <l the license rate an I next de. ireyed the legal tratiie in liqu irs. except us domestic wines, and subsequent y favored and pro cured the passage of an act placing a license charge ol SIO.O'JO on the business of selling domestic wines. In view of this record made by the prohibitionists, n tl cir recent oip si'.ion to high license, regulation and re t.i live legis lation for the sale of liquors in this r tyii ’tlie event oi the defeat of prohibition, was In -o far ns they it on solicitude for tlio poor man or the small dealer an interesting spectacle, since they themselves hitd first increase ! the burdens of the small dealers and then destroyed their business altogeth r. If with this record the prohibition puty would assume the po-it on of friendship to th .'small dealer, they can have but little respect f< r tl.e intelligence of those to whom such argument is addressed. On the subject of license, regulation and restric tion, we announce for ourselves, as a ] arty and in dividuals, that if hereafter the sale of li ii d.s s! all become lawful in the city of Atlanta, we will fav<>r the complete regulation of the traffic therein, and the confinement of same to ’the business portions of business streets only and will oppose thugranting oi any license to sell the same in a residence com munity or adjacent to any church, school or fire engine house. or to any p?rson other than of good character and sobriety. Further, we sh ill oppose the use of screens, blinds, or other obstrutrion of the view of places in which liquor may be sold, and will further oppose the use of any gamingtable, device or apparatus or tl.e j-i iving of any games at any 'pl tee where I puor is sold. In furtherance and in aid of the regulation of the trade in liquors we will favor a license rate which, while not so high as t > create a monopoly, will yet be altogether sufficient io secure adequate revenue ft am ibis source to the city government and make practicable efficient regulation: and will favor the election of such persons to the general council as u ill carry the abo\ e into effect in good faith. These pledges it will be our pleasure to carry out both, because as citizens interested in the city and the good government, therefore we believe it right; and also for the reason that should indiscriminate license prevail or ii eJicient regulation result, the cause of anti-prohibHion would be weakened and be justly held to account for thes in • in future contests under the local option law. We are, therefore, as ueenly concerned in tiie proper and full regula tion oi tne tratfic as any other persons could possi bly be. Half the effort expemied to enforce the prohbition law by concentrating polio • nowc: upon 11, w<m‘d inure tne full aid praulii .blc unlbrcc ment ol all laws, state and oily, relating to dealing in li uors and that, too, without the friction, espl n.u e and searches by deta.led patrolmen and inforn e.-s, attendant upon the enforcement, of pro h bitiou. The regulation above indicate 1, will afford bet ter results, both as io morals and health, than the use of alcohol < blaTied in rhe citv or the character of iiqu> r generally shipped into the city from other places. That large quantities of liquors are con stantly being shipped iinto the county and city for consumption he re,is known to all observant men,and instead of bearing a liberal share of the support of our local government as the tra ie tosupply our,own people* should, the money uh? h i ays lor ftgoc-s out from us io various other cities ami towns. The fact exists that there is no limitation by law on the purchasing capacity orri-.ntoi our’ciiiz. ns, ex cept s loour own city, ami tl at the niiLoids and expres. corny aides r a i and d<> tiansport liquors into our midst without let or hindrance. A restoration of the legality of tiic*trade|here would place the proper tempeiute and medicinal use of liquors alike legally acct..-s’hie to al the p?.ople, whereas now. under the present ur.ier of things one class has special facilities lor obtaining it by order ing the same in quantity, over those not. so* able to order in quantity. While we arc aware that here as in Texas and Tennessee some prohibitionists ar gue that it is ncce.-.-a:y to ke< p Ih.uors from the masses, especially from the colore 1 people, we in sist that such ar.ument is contrary to the funda men al principle > of popular government and in effect declares that the people of this country are incapable of 8 lf-govenimcnt and unworthy to be endi.sud with legal access to an article harmless when used properly and teinje ’ately and me of which as a medicinal agent is irequently imlispens able to cure and treatment ot the sick. We .hold that tlie people generally ate as capable of proper u e of liquors us are those who order m quantity or who are able to carry membership in clubs and organisations at whose rooms it is kept on supply. While wo h; v? heard the argument adia ieea frem prohibi ts .n sources that mere 1 as b< en gre it Improvement in the order of the city under pro.:;bition it is to be l><me in mind that Atlanta fi.r fifteen yc.:rs prior to prohibition was justly regarded as the bust or dered city of its size in tie Unitel htaics. During th j entire period since 1870, ele ti ms h.id been n > taLly < uict and orderly, and good order generally p.evidliid, and it may be safely asseitcd that the order an I sobiiety throughout the Cottun exposition in 1881, would comp oo favorably with that attendant upon the expedition just closed, and p jrsons who attribute the general order and sobriety I ruvahnt here to prohibition, are either ignorant of the previous history of the city, or else misrepre sent its fo’mer history and character, in 1880, as shov. n by the United States census, Atlanta ranked es third eby in the Unite i States in proportion to her pop>’a‘.ion for the number of her people en gaged in active pursuits or < ccupations. This splen did :e o.d i- r sobriety, thrift and industiy attained in the a s Hue of prohibit ion. has not, we arc confi dent, improved since prohibition. The large in crease of *expei'He for police does net :o indicate. Until t c prohibition agitation, nothing had oc curred t > divide or alienate our people from each ot h< r, and on the proic Unionists rests the re.-ponsi bility tor all divisions and dissensions brought in Rs train, a;*d ■while in other respects the prohibition ists have set up for them, elves certain claims of superiority as citizens, yet to prosecute great public enterprises to succ< the ai lof ant prohibitionists has been found desirable, and was not found wanting in public spirit or cordiality of co operation. With resbuet to the effect of prohibition upon the revoniv' tis ’.he city, ai d upon business and growth, we s- bmitrs to the form r—first, Tht t for many years nreceeding the going into effect prohibition, (with but a rare exception in the year of a panic) property values had :n<*reased, ana that, too, with out any marked ii c cu-e of the assessment <»n ccn tr. l imj roved prop.-i ty. Further, that such increase of usse.vment was made since I prohibition, and on property which, in many instances, was yielding a re luced rental. Tot use fae'.s the owners of tuu property in question are the best witness s. Second, That while sties- has been laid by proh’- bitionists on the work of th* city government in 188(», it is to I e borne in mind that li c e was a de crease of oxoi two bundled thousand dollars in the returned value of personal properly, as compared with and this, notwit >-t .n lint; jrohlbition. did not go into efe:t generally as to dealers till July Ist of that year, and that the nd valorem tax on the property in tne liquor bminess accrued for i / n Afrii Ist, an i that the license tux on many retail dealers, was r-Giid in f«r the first and second qu rtcr- of 1>.86 at t!. ■ (<Z>' per-annum rate. While, f '>m'p-i; r< I <a:i . ?r s-djirou-r- Ity and ' u-zne-s a< tivi.y Lus upjcaru 1 hi the cities of the country generally, Atlanta, though making some pro. “cs-, has not shared this g .neral prosper ity to the extent of many of her silLui cities,thd’igh favored bv situation, cLmatc and c ntrality fortrad® and manufacture- - .

The weather was not agreeable last, night, but the call for a mooting to reorganize the Y'oung Men’s Prohibition club was responded to by an audience that well-fillod tho hcad qui’iters on Hunter street, ami held a very in teresting meeting, but permanent organization was not effected, this being postponed until Thursday evening next. At the entrance doors every ouo who at tended was presented with a blue badge, tlie words “For Prohibition” being printed there on in bold type,and tho badges were pinned to the coat, making the wearer a conspicuous pro hibitionist. Several gentlemen were applauded as they accepted tho badges upon entering the hall, Mr. K. T. Dow coming in for a share of this demonstration of approval, when ho entered and took his seat, remarking that ho “was here to stay.” Mr. Dow has beret More been a prominent anti-prohibitionist, and until re cently president of the Independent club. He suggested the name of William A. Hay good for the position of temporary chair man, and ho was unanimously elected. In a few brief and well-chosen words Mr. Hay good thanked the club for the honor conferred upon him, and spoke of tho present campaign in which this organization of tho young men was to play an important part, but with tho prestige of success that was not their portion two years ago. Ho referred to several per sonal conversations with acquaintances and business men of Atlanta who had regarded tho former election as an experiment and wore neutral, or opposed to prohibition, but who were now in favor of tho movement. After this committee had retired to prepare their report, it was suggested by the chairman that the present would be an excellent oppor tunity for an impromptu experience meet ing, and his idea met with prompt and generous applause from the audience, and loud calls were made for It. T. Dow. The gent leman re sponded to the invitation, ami taking tho stand made a very fine adihjess which was well received, and intcrrupteJTy frequent bursts of applause. He humorously cited his co-noction with the opposition, which had been a close and binding one, but added in conclu sion .that ho had bidden liquor and its friends an affectionate and lasting farewell. Ho had, however, no rancor in his heart, nor ill feeling for any one of his former friends. Ho was after whisky and not the men who sell it, or who are in favor of its being sold. But he wanted abso lute and practical prohibition and tho doing away of all the various disguises and shams under which whisky masquerades and is daily sold in the city of Atlanta today. Dr. Hawthorne responded to the enthusiastic calls and spoke briefly of the harmony and Christian spirit of the meeting, touching also upon tho fact that the logic of events was fast making friends and votes for the prohibi tion movement. Ho spoke of tlie intention to make this a campaign where good will and tho absence of mud-throwing would bo conspicu ous. Dr. Hawthorne asserted his conlidonco in the victory at tho November election,stating that ho was reliably informed that the colored vote would be 1,000 greater for prohibition than in 18S5. He said that ho wanted every member of the club and every one of his hearers to win at least flvo votes from the opposition. Mr. T. F. Corrigan was called for, and an swered by introducing Mr. C. J. Haydsn, who has lately made an extensive tour through the west and northwest, visiting Kansas mid lowa during Ills trip. Mr. Hayden made a few remarks, stating that on his visit to tho sections referred to he had been extensively interviewed on tlie subject of tho prohibition movement in Atlanta, and that everybody apparently was looking to this city- for aii ex ample of what prohibition could accomplish. Mr. Hayden said that very much depended on the result in this city at the November elec tion, by reason of the prominence of Atlanta and its I cing the first city of importrnco to attempt the enforcement of a stringent pro hibitory law, Ho was followed by Mr. Hooper Alexander in one of tho best addresses of tlie evening. He cited figures to show that the population an<l wealth had increased remarkably since’Bs, and stated that if this had not been on ac count of prohibition it had been done, in spite of it. Ho predicted a majority of 1,500 for prohibition at the November election. Tho largest audience ever assembled in tho court house was gathered there last night. It was densely packed with men and holies and many colored people. Judge Hillyer said—-I was calle.’ into speak two years ago, and I remember that then I felt nothing but the kindest and most generous impulses. I was impelled to the work because it was a work of kindness. I pledged myself then to pursue a conciliatory course to the end, and I have pursued that course ever since. Not one word of harshness or unkindness has ever passed my lips. No set of men has over been so well rewarded as yon, and you sco tho fruit of your reward tonight. [Applause.] Tho contest is not of your seeking. It is forced on you. It is not now a question of the disturbance of a system recognized bylaw. All implied in that objection has passed away. Liquor has been driven out. Tho men enga ged in the traffic have either gone elsewhere or are happy in other pursuits. The i sue is .clean cut and squarely drawn — prohibition or unlimited barrooms. Will you bring back tho one hundred ami thirty bar rooms or say nay?” [A hundred voices re sponded nay.] “All have witnessed the hap piness of the people. You walk about the city and seo the evidences of it. You know it yourselves; you can testify to it. On Saturday evening when you see men going homo with their wages in their pockets, and see tho clear, open countenances, the beaming eyes of their families betokening peace and plenty at home; when yon consider that between 7,<KK) and 10,000 per ons receive their wages on Saturday, and that nearly all paid to them is applied to useful purposes, promotive of happiness or comfort, can you think of voting whisky back? The idea of asking patriotic men to say by their ballot in presence of God. “I here consent to the restoration of the old order of things: “He who contemplates that a city with tho standard of morals and intelligence as Atlan ta is capable of a crime like that mistakes the people of Atlanta. [Agiplause.] It is as much impossible to bring back liar rooms as it is to establish Mormonism in our midst. [Applause.] The men engaged in the advocacy of prohi bition have no other ends to servo but to do right. What effect has prohibition had on tho working classes. The tax as. cssor's book show that in April 1.585 there were owners of their own homes, and in April 1887 there were 5,145 persons owning their own home—<>7B more than in 1885. Tho increase ot 1885 over 1883 was only 151. How is that man' I constructed in his reason ami conscience who I would bring back 1.30 barrooms to cheat those men out of their homes. M itch lias been said ' of the iiicrca-e in assessments of real estate in | thecity. It i claim'd that the officers of the I city were prohibition) tt and their action col ored by their views. The as essors wore sworn | to assess tlie property at a fair market value. I Os all the central property there is not a piece I on the market. at tho assess ni'nt. Tho building formerly occu pied by Mnhlenbrink’s bar sold in 1885 for ’ ? l/tib improvements wore put on it j and it has sold recently for' .'.5,W>, Thetaxpay ’ ers of the city and county on their oatlis return their properly at an inoreate of .83,113,125. There has been a mark< <1 increase in housc- < hold and personal property, at least §WX),O<X). It was stated in Tennes .ee that tho auction : housi-s in Atlanta were filled with furniture lor sale. This is accounted for—tho penpie having bought new furniture have sold oil all their old furniture.” [Applause.] J udge John L, Hopkins was next introduced and was greeted with round after round of ap plause. I “Ji'or more than twenty veara.” said hti *l. I 3 ou may think there is no t/.«c ’icpinp/or preseuti. and ne letto set. ribe.

I have not participated in any campaign. For the first time in twenty-two years I feel that no alternative has been left me but to come to tho front and say I’m here and with you, [Ap plause.] The duty of this hour no man dare di. regard. When n was proposed, two years ago, toadopt prohibition Iliad not. studied it. I was always for temperaneo and against wl’iskv. 1 did not know that prohibition would succeed in Atlanta with her restless population. But 1 had no hesitancy in voting. Under tho pres ent circumstances and surroundings to remain silent would be. a crime. Some sav Unit it is flopping. lam proud that 1 am a Hopper. [ Applause.j’ Such names are often adopted in canvasses to deter men from doing what they wish to do. I accept it and thank them for it. lama full grown flopper. [Applause.] That man who is deterred from discharging his duty by such names is a coward. ‘Have 1 cltangt d: Linder those circumstances I was silent. Under the present circumstances .1 speak. If I had been the bitterest anti in tho last election, and studied the results of prohibition impartially, I would be just where 1 am tonight. The ballot-box determined the issue, and the antis were in duly bound as men to abide by it. But they placed every obstruc tion that man could devise or suggest, and at eno time it scented that tho effort, to enforce the law would be crushed out. You ought to feel forever grateful that you had a man in the police court who feared nobody. [Continuous applause.] .Anderson did his duty. [Voice in the crowd, “Three cheers for Anderson,” and it was given.] Tho winerooms were spared. A greater mistake was never made. But tho police kept at. work. Anderson was at his post. If all tho city government had lent their moral support to the law its enforcement would have been more satisfactory. [Ap plause.] Has the law prohibiting murder or any other crime prevented it? Has it done anymore than to hold it in check? There is no such a thing as enforcing a law uniformly and always. Keep pegging away at It, and in time the law will bo thoroughly enforced. But. the Young Men’s Anti club advance the ground of personal liberty. This Is not tho first prohibition law passed in Georgia. In 1791 a law was passed prohibiting any planter who grew the corn and made the whisky from selling it on his own promises, and to sell in quantities not less than ouo quart had to get permission to do so. It discriminated against the matt buying in small quantities in favor of one buying in largo quantities. Since then it has been enlarged in prohibiting from selling or giving to a drunken man. They give him • liberty until he gets drunk, and take away from him all liberty. ?Ve want to take it away from him before ho gets drunk. But say the antis: “As a party a’.d as indi viduals wo favor regulations and restrictions around the traffic to confine, it tn the business streets only.” Why confine it? Because tho depth, width and heighth of the curse no man can estimate. [Applause.] ’Where’s tho lib erty to the people ou tho outskirts? Yon bring it into tho center and give it to tho bloods. They oppose granting license to sell near residences, churches, school houses, fire engine houses, or to any person not of good character or sobriety. Liberty indeed! They propose carrying out these pledges because they believe it is right. They say that some prohibitionists argue that prohibition is necessary to keep whisky from tho masses, especially the. colored people, atid this they oppose. This is a little too thin. They can no more cram it down the colored man than a white man. Take tho colored race ns a whole, their faces are in the right direc tion. Take tho annals of the world and you will not find a race similarly situated who over behaved better than the colored race. [Ap plause.] In the main they are supporting tho white man in the cwuso of morality and reli gion. With shields locked they will match on to a victory that has never occurred in their recollection. They propose bringing whisky back because a club sells it. J don’t, know what club sells it, but prohibitionists are not running the club, not by a jug full—l might say barrels full. They say that men, able to send to Griffin, can got liquor while those that are not cannot get it, and they are for equalizing it. Those running tho club might to divide ami equalize it. Tho prohibitionists don’t propose to equalize it, they propose to lead men not into temptation. Tho antis say Atlanta lias prospered in spite of prohibition. If Atlanta can carry it and prosper, let her carry it. [Ap plause.] It. will help her develop her musclo. The antis suggest to leave off badges. Why? Are you ashamed of your badges? Are yon afraid to rile with them on? To take tliem home with you? Some men don’t wait to carry the badge homo; they’d rather leave them at the club. Judge Hopkins then drew a picture (it an anti going limno with a liquor badge on, and tho earnest appeals of wife and children not to vote for whisky, ami said: “This is why the antis want the badges left off.” Meeting Friday Night. Concordia hall, last night, contained a largo and a notably earnest gathering of unterrified young anti-prohibitionists, who camo together for tho purpose of organizing tho Young Men’s club. There wore calls for “Goodwin I Goodwin 1” and Mr. J. B. Goodwin rose to respond. The crowd yelled for him to take tho platform, but lie said he preferred standing where he was. He believed that this Young Men’s club must result in winning many votes to tho cause of anti-prohibition. There was a time when it required a largo share of moral bravery on tho part of any young man in Atlanta to come out and announce himself as an anti. The con tumely heaped upon such young men amounted almost to intimidation. But now things have undergone a change. Now the prohibitionists have adopted new methods. They have eschewed the weapons of vituperation and per sonal abuse and have, as Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, Urn bright apostle, naively says, “decided to win them over by kindness.” He was glad of this change. Ho knew of no reason why any young man should not come out and openly declare his adherence to tho cause. “It would have been more com fortable,” ho continued, “for me to have kept my seat and permitted others to speak; for mo to have refrained from any active participation in the campaign. But it is impossible for mo to do so. As long as I live in a free country I will speak my true sentiments, give expression to my convictions, and I will never wear any man’s political yoke. This is the time for every one to take a stand in favor of personal liberty. This is the same liberty which tho founders of the constitution fought for. The issue is not in any sense a jiolitical one. But even the republican party has not assumed a position in favor of sumptuary leg islation. As democrats I do not understand how auy one can undertake to advocate laws which deprive citizens of that liberty guaran teed to them by the constitution of the coun try. Ido not believe that any young man has anything to lose by identifying himself with a party whose principles are those of personal liberty. If I were required to sacrifice my hopes of political preferment or to stultify my self by advocating a measure which 1 km w to be antagonistic to true principles of liberty and the gonitis nf our constitution, I should unhesitatingly elect to abandon till hope* of political preferment.” (Great apiduiire.| Tho next speaker was Mr. Wiliam Hanson, svho responded to a general call. “This is a decidedly unexpected call,” said he, as ho faced the audience, “and I do not know that I Cun fittingly respond, as I am a comparative stranger here. I only camo to this country about six months auo. lam an English’- t by birth, but an American by adoption. 1 . a thus as much a citizen of the United Htates as I am of the old country, liong before I crossed the ocean 1 regarded this as an ideal free coun try, where tho citizen was permitted to enjoy the largest share of personal liberty and linen e not. incompatible with jml.lic morality. When 1 came hero I was siirprisi <1 to find that 1 bad entertained erron eous ideas regarding the liberty enjoyed by the A mcric.m citizen. The longer I havo Ireen in this country tho more I have Ireon impressed with the fact that tho liberty of the citizen is constantly being encroached upon by unjust leg!iliou, exacting restrictions and onerous ! sumptuary laws. The dtizon is actually in i danger of being deprived of his liberty. If this thing continues, tho result will be that here in this boasted country of freedom and | lilxirty the laws will be more grinding than t thev are under the czar ot the Russia*. I THE PROHIBITION CAUSE AT STAKE General Ncnl Dow on tho Probable Action of tho 4 lilted States tSupi-eino < ourt. I’oRTi.AXD, Me., October 27.—General Neal Dow was today asked if ho had seen the re ports in tho papers that tho quesliou of prohi biiionwas before the. United States supremo court at Wa. hington, and what lie thought would bo tho probable result. Genoral Dow replied: “I knew th.it certain cases from Kansas, Ton a and Georgia relating to prohibition were Io bo taken to that court, but I did n t know they were actually entered there until b'ridav evening when I li:’.l a telegram Irom tho Voice of New \ ork conc.'rningtnem. They are to try tho.question whither lite ncinufaeturo of alco holic liquors can bo_ prohibited by any state wituout compensation to tho inanufaeturers. i hat question has already been decided uiiani inously by the justices of tho supreme court of the I nited States, and I should feel no un easiness as to the decision of th< so eases if my faith in the integrity of courts wore now as strong as it was before I became ti tter ac quainted with tlie world and with men. lam by no moans sure that the personal habits of Ihe judges ami their social surroundings may not boa large factor in the determination of this question. An extensive observation has led me to the conclusion that tho drink habit markp tho judgment of its victims upon nil questions relating to temperance and prohibi tion. In tlie ease (Howard’s reports on tho constitutionality of the laws of Now Hamp, sliiro, Massachusetts and Illiodo Island) Uhiof J ustico Taney said: “1 see nothing in the Constitution of the United Stales to'prevent it mny slate) from rc’ulating and rest 111 U'.mg tlie tuiflle. or Irom prohibiting it alto get fir. “Justice Mel.cean said: “The iii'kuowleiked police power of the state often extends to tho destruction of propertv A nuisance may be abated. It is tlie settled construc tion of every regulation of commerce that no person can inti.' .u o inton cinimiunitv malignant diseases nor anything which contaminates itsmorals or en dangers its ,• afety. “Justice Caton said: “I admit ns inevitable that if th i state hns tho power ot restraint by lieen-< to anv extent, s', o bus the diserctienarv Power to Judge ol'its lim t. and to go the len.ph of pioliiliiling sales altogether. If such be her I'Otiey; and if this court camlot interfere in tl o ease before us. neither c -uli) we interfere tn tlie extreme case of entire exclusion. Justico Grier said: “All mi'asurea of restraint or prohibition neces sary to effect the purpose (the protect on of tne com munity) are wlthfu tlie scope of state authority. All laws for the restraint or punlsl m nt of crime, for I he preservation of public peace, health, and morals, ate irom their very miture ut primary iinportiuiec,and lie nt the foundation of social existence. Police laws for the. preservation of health, ;r vention of crime, and protection of the public welfare must of necessity have full and fr. e operation according to the exigency that re iiiires their interference. “A decision of tho court that a state cannot, without compel)' al ion, prohibit mid suppress breweries and distilleries in the interest of public health, morals, peace, wealth, comfort, and prosperity, would carry with it the dictum that grog shops are, also sheltered by the con stitution of tho United States. However mon strous such an opinion of tho court Would bo, tho possibility of it will, I think, depend very much upon the character of tho judges and tlicirpersonal habits and upon theiratliliatiomi. T’ho decision of tho New York court against the constitutionality of tho prohibitory law of the state had in its favor tho drinking judges only, and against it tho judges free from tho drinking habit. The decision of a majority of tho lowa judges that tho constitutional pro hibitory amendment, though carried by a great majority of the popular vote, was void on ac count of a perfectly immaterial clerical error, like the omission of ti dot or a cross of a‘t,’ should prepare us for any disappointment wo may feel at a decision I hat a state can not, without compensation, forbid a groat public evil, nor abate an intolerable nuisance which inflicts upon the community far worse mis chief than i bmes from all tire other sources of evil combined.” V';’ “I M ould That I Were Pearl!” Cries many a wretched housewife today, ivs, weary and dislieartimod, she forces herself to perform her daily task, “It don’t seem ns if I could got through tho day.
