              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Schanklicens der Demokratie Iowa’s&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Den drakonischen republikanischen Prohibitionsgesetzentwürfen gegenüber hat jetzt die demokratische Minderheit der Staatsgesetzgebung von Iowa in beiden Häusern ein von ihrem “Caucus” ausgearbeitetes Schanklicensgesetz vorgelegt, das im Wesentlichen Folgendes bestimmt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gesuche um Licenz müßen bei dem Richter des Bezirksgerichtes eingereicht werden; dem Gesuche muß eine Petition von wenigstens 25 Grundeigenthümern [Grundeigentümern] des Townships beiliegen, und ebenfalls ein von 25 Grundeigenthümern des Townships und der unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft unterschriebenes Zeugnis über den guten Charakter des Bewerbers. In Städten, welche in Wards eingetheilt (eingeteilt) sind, müssen diese 25 Grundeigenthümer (Grundeigentümer) Einwohner der Ward sein, in welcher der Bewerber (nun?) die Licenz wohnt. Auch ein Bond, von guten Bürgern unterschrieben, muß eingereicht und vom Richter des Bezirksgerichtes für gut erkannt sein, ehe der Richter die Licenz (ertheilt?).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Für den Verkauf im Großen ist eine jährliche Licens von $300 zu bezahlen, für den Verkauf im kleinen eine von $250. Die Licenz gilt nur für ein Jahr. Wer ohne Licenz ausschänkt [ausschenkt], muß eine Strafe von nicht weniger als $150 und nicht mehr als $300 bezahlen, oder wird nach Gutdünken des Gerichts im Countygefängniß eingesperrt. Wer mit Wissen an Betrunkene, bekannte Trunkenbolde und Minderjährige geistige Getränke verkauft, wird um $100 bis $200 gebüßt und auf 30 bis 60 Tage eingesperrt. Minderjährige, welche unter dem Vorgeben, volljährig zu sein, solche Getränke erhalten werden mit $50 bestraft oder eingesperrt, bis die Strafe bezahlt ist. Die Licenz wird durch Uebertretung dieser Bestimmungen verwirkt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Der bereits erwähnte Bond muß $1500 betragen, von 2 guten Bürgern unterschrieben sein und für alle Strafen haften.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Abgesehen von der durch dieses Staatsgesetz eingeführten Lizens von $250, hat jede städtische Corporation das Recht, für den Kleinverkauf von Bier, Ale, Wein und Schnaps noch eine besondere Licens zu verlangen, welche aber in keinem Falle die Summe von $750 überschreiten darf. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Die Wirthschaften (Wirtschaften) müssen von 11 Uhr Nachts bis fünf Uhr Morgens geschlossen sein.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Händler im Großen dürfen nicht in geringeren Quantitäten, als eine Gallone verkaufen. Kleinhändler nicht mehr als eine Gallone. Strafe für Uebertretung $100.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wein im Staate Iowa erzeugt, ist von den Bestimmungen ausgenommen, wenn er für Familienzwecke gebraucht wird und nicht zum Zwecke des Handels. Importirte [Importierte] “Liquors” können unter den bereits bestehenden Gesetzen nach wie vor verkauft werden. Bier und andere geistige Getränke, in Iowa fabrizirt [fabriziert], sind, wenn sie in Original Einpackung verkauft werden, nicht von diesem Gesetze betroffen. Der Verkauf von Wein, Cider und anderen Getränken, in Quantitäten von mehr als einer Gallone, auf dem Platze, wo dieselben fabrizirt sind, erfordert keine Lizenz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[transcribed by Noah Hochstetler]&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>&lt;h4&gt;Das Frauenstimmrechts=Amendment.&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Zugleich mit der Primärwahl am 5.&lt;br /&gt;Juni, in welcher die Kandidaten für die&lt;br /&gt;Staats= und County= Aemter (Ämter), die im November zu wählen sind, nominirt (nominiert)&lt;br /&gt;werden, findet die Abstimmung über das&lt;br /&gt;Frauenstimmrecht statt. Wird diese an=&lt;br /&gt;genommen, so wird die Constitution des&lt;br /&gt;Staates einverleibt und die Frauen in&lt;br /&gt;Iowa besitzen das Stimmrecht. Wes=&lt;br /&gt;halb mit dieser so wichtigen Abstim=&lt;br /&gt;mung nicht bis zur Herbstwahl gewartet&lt;br /&gt;worden ist, läßt (lässt) sich leicht erraten.&lt;br /&gt;Nämlich bei dieser wird, da dann Prä=&lt;br /&gt;sidentenwahl ist, nahezu das volle Vo=&lt;br /&gt;tum des Staates abgegeben, bei einer&lt;br /&gt;Primärwahl aber stimmt nur ein Theil (Teil)&lt;br /&gt;der Wähler, sogar nur ein kleiner Theil (Teil),&lt;br /&gt;und da sicher alle Freunde des Frauen=&lt;br /&gt;Stimmrechts stimmen werden, so ist da=&lt;br /&gt;mit die Annahme weit leichter durchzu=&lt;br /&gt;setzen, wie wenn ein volles Votum abge=&lt;br /&gt;geben wird. Die Frauenrechtler in der&lt;br /&gt;Legislatur haben sehr schlau gerechnet,&lt;br /&gt;indem sie die Frage in einer Primär=&lt;br /&gt;wahl, statt in einer Haupt= und Gene=&lt;br /&gt;ralwahl, den Wählern unterbreiteten.&lt;br /&gt;Eine solche wichtige Frage hätte doch&lt;br /&gt;unbedingt dann zur Abstimmung kom=&lt;br /&gt;men sollen, wenn das größtmöglichste&lt;br /&gt;Votum zu erwarten war, wo jeder Bür=&lt;br /&gt;ger stimmen würde. Aber nein, das&lt;br /&gt;paßte (passte) dem allmächtigen Mucker= und Suffragettenthum, welche die letzte Le=&lt;br /&gt;gislatur ganz und gar beherrschte, nicht&lt;br /&gt;in den Kram und so wurde die Angele=&lt;br /&gt;genheit zu einer Zeit zur Abstimmung angeordnet, wo man sicher ist, nur ein&lt;br /&gt;kleines Votum, keinesfalls ein volles&lt;br /&gt;Votum und damit die wirkliche Mei=&lt;br /&gt;nungsäußerung der ganzen Bürger=&lt;br /&gt;schaft des Staates zu erhalten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Von dem Ausgang der Frauenstimm= rechts=Wahl hängt wahrscheinlich auch&lt;br /&gt;die nächstjährige Prohibitionswahl ab,&lt;br /&gt;die entscheiden soll, ob der jetzt schon&lt;br /&gt;bestehende Prohibitionsblödsinn kon=&lt;br /&gt;stitutionell werden soll, was bedeutet,&lt;br /&gt;daß (dass) wir die Trockenheit überhaupt nicht&lt;br /&gt;mehr los werden oder nicht. Wenig=&lt;br /&gt;stens ist immerhin eine Möglichkeit eines&lt;br /&gt;freisinnigen Sieges ohne Frauenstimm= recht vorhanden — mit Frauenstimm=&lt;br /&gt;recht aber absolut nicht. Deshalb wäre&lt;br /&gt;es sehr zu wünschen, das (dass) sich unsere Li=&lt;br /&gt;beralen und Gegner der politischen&lt;br /&gt;Gleichberechnung (Gleichberechtigung) der Geschlechter etwas&lt;br /&gt;mehr rühren, wie sie bis jetzt gethan (getan)&lt;br /&gt;haben, wenn ihnen überhaupt etwas an&lt;br /&gt;der Ablehnung dieser Frage liegt. Um=&lt;br /&gt;somehr (umso mehr), da alle günstigen Aussichten bis&lt;br /&gt;jetzt auf Seite der Frauenrechtler liegen.&lt;br /&gt;Die meisten der Governors=Kandidaten,&lt;br /&gt;auch der sogenannte demokratische, der&lt;br /&gt;Herr Meredith, haben sich offen für das&lt;br /&gt;Frauenstimmrecht erklärt. Desgleichen&lt;br /&gt;die meisten Aspiranten für andere&lt;br /&gt;Staatsämter. Die Anhänger des Weib=&lt;br /&gt;lichen Unterrocks betreiben außerdem&lt;br /&gt;eine viel regere Campagne (Kampagne), offen und&lt;br /&gt;mehr noch im stillen (Stillen), als die andere&lt;br /&gt;Seite, die sich außer einigen vernünftigen&lt;br /&gt;Frauen, die selbst gegen ihre Hinein=&lt;br /&gt;zerrung in unsere Politik sind, noch&lt;br /&gt;nicht rühren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bis zum 5 Juni sind nur noch einige&lt;br /&gt;Wochen hin und soll noch eine starke&lt;br /&gt;öffentliche Bewegung gegen das beab=&lt;br /&gt;sichtigte Weiber=Regiment eingeleitet&lt;br /&gt;werden, so ist’s hohe Zeit. Es muß (muss),&lt;br /&gt;wenn überhaupt Hoffnung vorhanden&lt;br /&gt;ist, die Frauenrechtler zu schlagen, da=&lt;br /&gt;rauf hingearbeitet werden, daß (dass) ein mög=&lt;br /&gt;lichst starkes Votum in der Wahl abge=&lt;br /&gt;geben wird, denn nur darin liegt augen=&lt;br /&gt;scheinlich einige Aussicht, den Ansturm&lt;br /&gt;abzuschlagen. Die Gleichgültigkeit der&lt;br /&gt;Massen, die diese Primärwahlen gegen=&lt;br /&gt;über haben muß (muss) abgeschüttelt werden, so&lt;br /&gt;daß (dass) so viele Bürger wie nur möglich,&lt;br /&gt;nicht nur die Befürworter des Frauen=&lt;br /&gt;stimmrechts, sich zum Wahlplatz begeben.

                <text>The Women's Suffrage Amendment&#13;
&#13;
The referendum on women's suffrage will take place together with the June 5th primaries, in which voters will nominate candidates for state and county offices for the later November election. Should the measure be approved, the state constitution will be amended to grant suffrage to all women in Iowa. We can easily surmise why such an important referendum was not postponed until the November election. In November, when the presidential election takes place, nearly the entire state will turn out to vote. During a primary, however, only a fraction of voters, even a small fraction, will turn out at the polls, and since all friends of women's suffrage will vote, the amendment will pass much more easily than with a high voter turnout. The suffragists in the state legislature have slyly brought this referendum before voters during a primary election rather than a general election. Such an important matter should have been placed on the ballot when nearly every eligible voter would go to the polls. But no, that didn't suit the all-powerful yes-men and suffragettes who completely dominated the last state legislature, and so the matter was scheduled to come to a vote at a time when there is certain to be a low voter turnout, anything but a full turnout that might be a representative measure of opinion among all citizens.&#13;
&#13;
Next year's Prohibition referendum will likely depend on the result of the women's suffrage vote. This second referendum will decide whether the current Prohibition nonsense shall become constitutional, i.e., whether we'll be rid of temperance or not. Without women's suffrage, there is at least the possibility of a victory for personal liberty; with women's suffrage, absolutely not. For this reason, it would be quite useful if the liberals and opponents of the political equality of the sexes would rouse themselves more often than they have up to this point, if the failure of this referendum is of any concern to them at all. They have all the more reason to do so, since the suffrage camp has the more favorable prospects at the moment. The majority of candidates for governor, even the so-called Democrat, Mr. Meredith, have declared their support for women's suffrage, and the majority of aspirants for state offices have done the same. The petticoat supporters, moreover, are conducting a much more vigorous campaign, both in the open and quietly, than the opposing side, which has hardly lifted a finger, with the exception of a few sensible women who are opposed to being dragged into politics.&#13;
&#13;
There are only a few weeks left until June 5th. If public momentum against the proposed women's regime is to develop, then it's time to act. If there is to be any hope of victory over the suffragists, then we must work towards generating the largest turnout possible, for therein lies apparently the only chance of heading off the coming storm. The apathy of the masses towards primaries must be overcome, so that as many citizens as possible, not only the proponents of women's suffrage, make their way to the ballot box.&#13;

&lt;p&gt;Es wird wohl schon den Meisten bekannt sein, daß es durch Gesetz, das am 16. Oktober* um Mitternacht in Kraft getreten, den fremdsprachigen Zeitungen verboten ist, Neuigkeiten oder Artikel über den Krieg, die Bundes-Regierung oder irgend eine der anderen kriegführenden Mächte betreffend, zu bringen, und das zwar so lange der Krieg dauert, es sei denn, es werde beim lokalen Postmeister vor der Bekanntmachung im Blatte eine eidlich erhärtete Uebersetzung hinterlegt. Von dieser Zensur werden ausgenommen, diejenigen Zeitungen, die einen speziellen Erlaubnisschein haben. Um diesen haben wir bei der Bundesregierung nachgesucht und halten daher für das Geratenste, uns aller Krie[g]snachrichten und Kommentare zu enthalten, bis uns die Lizens bewilligt worden ist. Wir bitten unsere werten Leser um gütige Nachsicht dafür und werden unser Blatt trotzdem so interessant als möglich gestalten, in der Hoffnung, daß sie uns in diesen schweren Zeiten treu bleiben.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As most readers already know, foreign language newspapers are forbidden to publish articles about the war, the federal government, or anything concerning other countries at war, for as long as the war lasts, unless a notarized translation is submitted to the local postmaster before publication. These restrictions are based on a law that came into effect at midnight on October 16th [correct date: October 6th]. Newspapers with a special permit may be exempted from this censorship. We have applied for such a permit with the federal government and consider it most advisable to abstain from all news and commentary concerning the war until we receive it. We ask our valued readership to bear with us and will continue to make our paper as interesting as possible in the hope that our readers remain true to us in these hard times.&lt;/p&gt;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An Appeal to Men&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The women of Iowa who are against women's suffrage are fighting for the vast majority of their gender.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They do not want the men of Iowa to impose the right to vote on them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They do not desire the strife, the bitterness, and the notoriety that are inextricably linked to a political campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They trust in the loyalty of their husbands, fathers, and sons and do not suffer under their dominion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To be free from the cares of government and the discord of politics is one of the greatest rights of women.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They currently have that right. Why take it away from them?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do not force something upon them that can lead to no good, but instead create much discord, not only for women themselves, but also for the state and all residing therein.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do not ask women to leave the sphere assigned to them by nature--a role that a man could never adequately satisfy--in order that they enter the domain of men, a domain they are not physically created for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do not force mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters into politics. Do not force the burdens of men onto women's shoulders.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Men of Iowa, we appeal to you not to abandon the women of Iowa in this crisis, and that on the 5th of June you will go to the polls and vote No on women's suffrage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Women Who Do Not Demand Suffrage&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE ROAD TO DICTATORSHIP &lt;br /&gt; Now open wide thanks to Leipzig Verdict&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leipzig. The recent verdict of the &lt;em&gt;Reichsgericht&lt;/em&gt; (Imperial Court of Justice), which approved the assumption of authority over the Prussian state government by a &lt;em&gt;Reichskommissar&lt;/em&gt; (imperial commissioner), is regarded as one more step toward uniting the entire &lt;em&gt;Reich&lt;/em&gt; under a dictatorship. At the least, the judgment has considerably increased the power of the President and the Chancellor. Hindenburgs position is particularly enhanced; regional state governments may no longer oppose him in the future when he chooses to exercise his executive power.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The court denied Prussia's petition that a cease-and-desist order be issued against the &lt;em&gt;Reichskommissar&lt;/em&gt; designated by the government of Chancellor von Papen to assume control of the Prussian state administration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The decision of the imperial court means that the Chancellor can exercise his power in Prussia. It further implies that the President has the sovereign authority to interpret and apply Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, upon which emergency decrees are based. The ousted Prussian cabinet members will be permitted only to hold seats in the Prussian state parliament and to appoint Prussian representatives to the imperial senate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Chancellor appointed Dr. Hans Bracht as the new head of the Prussian government.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HITLER RESTRICTS THE PRESS AND CIVIL RIGHTS&lt;br /&gt;Strict Emergency Decree Enacted, Even Stricter Ones Expected &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Berlin. Chancellor Adolf Hitler has begun planning comprehensive restrictions, including restricting the press and limiting the right of assembly, in order to reduce the civil unrest that has been leading to continuous conflict in the &lt;em&gt;Reich&lt;/em&gt;. A new emergency decree is expected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The edict that limits the freedom of the press, signed by Imperial President von Hindenburg, is titled "Act for the Protection of the German People." It allows the government to close any newspaper that incites insurrection or criticizes the administration for a period of six months. Strict penalties are promised for any publisher that violates the law.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As justification for the new measures, the government has asserted that the actions of opposition parties have exceeded permissible limits, mandating a bold course of action. The Nazi publication &lt;em&gt;Der Angriff&lt;/em&gt; ["The Assault," founded by Joseph Goebbels in 1927] blames the situation on the Jewish press. As stated by this Hitler newspaper: The unheard-of incitement of dissent against the political and economic regeneration of Germany by the Jewish press forced the government to take drastic measures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The right to assembly in Germany has also been curtailed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two additional Social-Democratic newspapers and one Communist paper were closed and their press runs confiscated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Interior Minister of Thüringen shut down two Social-Democratic papers for a period of ten days due to their publication of articles from the Berlin newspaper &lt;em&gt;Vorwärts&lt;/em&gt;, which had been confiscated earlier.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An underground Communist printing press was discovered in Arnstadt; flyers and posters encouraging a general strike by all workers were suppressed.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
