Bearing on Our Present Problems" Il
the title Of an article In the. July
Forum BY the Hon. Henry 8. BoutelL,
There are few who know that tho
United States held title to Texas prior
to the admission Of the Texas republic
to the union. but such was the case,
and the transfer Of that title to Spain
By the treaty of 1919 in exchange for
Florida has distinct bearing on tho
question recently passed on BY the
Supreme Court. That question il:
Have the President and the Sem
ate. by treaty. or Congress and the
President, by legislation, the consti-
tutional power to control and deal
with territory which is not part Of
one OF the states Of the union in .
manner different from that in which
they are hound by the constitution to
control and deal with sthe territory
embraced in the several states?"
At the time when Napoleon sold tho
Louisiana Territory to the United
States the Rio IGrande was the dividing
line between French and Spanish pos
sessions on the Gulf Of Mexico There
fore that river was the western boun-
dairy Of the Louisiana purchase. But
Spain. secretly encouraged by Napo-
leon, insisted that Mexico extended
farther east than the Rio Grande. Ii
the opinion Of James Monroe. John
Quincy Adams and Henry Clay, the
right Of the United States to all oi

sHenee shat treaty whereby tho. Flsrl-
das swsrs ceded to the United States
and the Sabine River was made the
dividing line between American and
Spanish Possessions. On this subject
the Chicago Tribune says:
During the last two years Il has
often been asserted that all territory
acquired by the United States becomes
at once AN integral part thereof, and
Its Inhabitants become American cit
izens. There is nowhere tn the con

direct or implied. for the sale Of an
integral part Of the United States
and the expatriation OF American clti-
Gems. Therefore President Monroe and
the statesmen Of his day, when they
bartered of Texas to Spain. did not
consider that territory an integral
part Of tho United States, The view
they took Of the matter was that ter
ritory ousids the limits OF the States
belonging to the United States could
be regulated and disposed of by the
federal government regardless Of the
limitations and restrictions of the
constitution These men, II living

ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
FOOD PRODUCTS.

The Advisory Committee re.
moves an erroneous impression in
regard to the authority given the
Department of Agriculture to
make analysis Of food products,
druPs and liquors. The SENTINEL
was the first newspaper to give
currency to the provisions of this
act and its possible bearing on the
brewing trade. Later we were as
sured in a letter from the chief OF
the Division OF Chemistry that
there was no intention OF making
a wholesale investigation OF the
manufacture Of beer, which letter
we published in these columns.
The Advisory Committee also
reports now that as a result OF
somewhat hasty perusal Of the Act
making appropriations for the Ag
ricultural Department, several
newspapers published articles
which led some brewers to believe
that the Brosius bill had pract,-
cally been superseded by a clause
in the same Act, giving the De-
partment unlimited power in the
premises, The Act, however,
merely provides for very rational
and effective method of analyzing
foods, drugs and liquors,
and OF preventing the delivery to
the consignee OF such smb0ytca ar
ticles whenever they are found TO
be adulterated and dangerous to
the health OF the people Of the
United States,

everything that moaey can buy or
experience suggest to aid in the
accomplishment OF its purpose.
Large quantities Of ruberoid, for
instance, will form part of the
Americas cargo. Ruberoid is a
building material only one. fourth
as bulky as the lIghtest wood ma
terlal known. Thus, Mr.. Balclwin's
party will have permanent and
solid wind shelters instead OF the
usual insufficient canvas shields.
These will greatly enhance their
comfort and aid them 10 endure
the severe strain OF long sledge
journeys. Sufficient food for over
three years will be taken, although
It IS expected the expedition will
return within twenty. seven months.
Pemmican, made Of desiccated lean
beef, suet, currants and sugar,
forms the staple Arctic diet. Only
the choicest p.rts f the beef are
used in its manuia cture, and over
twenty carloads OF this beef were
required for the expeditions penn
mican alone. SeVeuty-two thou
sand eggs, evaporated and "crys-
talized" ahd packed in fifteen hun
dred tins, is only one item In the
list of provisions. Nor will the
explorers want for luxuries. Col
fee, tea, milk and canned delicacies
of all kinds have been provided in
almost fabulous quantities.
Lonceding failure in its primary
object--a proposition, by the way,
which Commander Baldwin will
not listen to-the expeditions
work will do much for the cause Of
science. The most modern instru-
ments tor scientific research will
be taken, and these will be manned
by eminent specialists Efforts
will be made to discover traces of
Andree and of the two men lost
from the Abruzzi expedition OF
1900. 1t is also hoped that some
OF the Melville Bryant drift casks,
which were loosed in Bering Sea
in 1899, may be recovered, thus de-
termining data concerning the ice
current known to sweep across the
Polar area.

SIXTHs AND EIGHTHS.

The effort to secure abolition of
sixths and eighths was declared to
be impossible because of opposi-
tion from a strong minority Of
brewers, and an organized and
systematic agitation among coop
ers and their workmen, strongly
supported by labor organizations.
An idea was also current here
that the proposed change arose
from the selfshness OF a trust-like
combination OF large brewers All
efforts failed to dissipate this i'm
preston and the measure was lost.
In view OF the hopelessness OF
further attempts towards this end,
the example OF Washington brew
ers, who jointly agreed on and
alter a certain day to discontinue
the use OF such packages, was rec
commended to local bodies as an
easy solution OF the problem.

CONVENTION NOTES.

Mr.. Joe Miller, secretary of the
Ohio State Brewers Association.
spoke upon the value OF organiza-
ton and its effects on politicians.
Nearly every member visited the
Pan-American Exposition and the
Niagara Falls, some of them who
had brought their families with
them, remaining several days.
The principal attractions on the
Midway were the Lion Tanner, the
Trip TO the Moon, the Mexican,
Oriental, Hawaiian and Philippine
villages, the Johnstown Flood, and
the large establishment OF the
Pabst Brewing Co.
Messrs. Z. Braner, J. c. White,
Schaefer, Fischer, Mclaughlin,
Henry Diehl, Bullymore, Binz,
Kan, Seitz. Dole, Lehr, Voltz and
other prominent maltsters did the
honors at the Iroquois Hotel,
where various impromptu smokers
were given by these gentlemen to
their many brewing friends.
At the close Of the Convention
President Kendall presented a
magnificent picture to the retiring
President, Rudolph Brand, in be-
half Of the officers who had served
with him. Mr.. Kendall ably and
eloquently spoke for his col
leagues, and Mr. Brand, in a lew
well chosen words oi appreciation
and gratitude, accepted the gilt
amid much applause.
Among those who took promi-
nent parts in the proceedings of
the Convention were Fred Pabst,

each individual the choice oi in
strument to be used. The act Of
March 2. 1901, however, reads as
follows:
That in lieu Of or in addition 10 the
present requirements ol the law Ia that
respect, iall stamps used for denotiuR
the tax upon Term, nted liquors or other
taxes may, in the discretion OF the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, be
cancelled by perloration to be made in
such manner and form 9s the Commits
sioner may by regulation prescribe.
Shortly alter the enactment cf
this law the Committee on Federal
Relations visited Washington and
called upon the new Commissioner
Hon. John w. Yerkes, for the pur-
pose of submitting on behalf OF
the Association their views with
regard to the proposed method OF
cancellation, their principal Office
being to assure the Commissioners
that if the brewers would be al
lowed to select, each tor himself
any one OF the many modern de-
vices answering in every way the
prime requirement OF complete
peTioration, the trade would unre

gress, will probably be secured at

complaints which it provokes; and
the latter will doubtless have their

REBATE ON STAMPS ORDERED.

The Trustees report that efforts
to collect rebate on stamps ordered
but not delivered previous to en-
torcement of DingleY bill would
probably prove fruitless and there
fore they discourage employment
OF counsel for such purpose.
The Trustees say that even if the
justice OF such claims could be con
clu sively demonstrated, the claims
the mselves would probably be
barred under the operation OF the
statute oi limitation. Another con
sideration is that the cost OF litiga-
tion would in all likelihood exceed
the total amount oi these particu-
lar rebate claims. The Committee
win nevertheless continue its con-
sideration OF the matter, deter
mined>to recommend suitable ac-
ton if further information, to be
obtained hereafter, should warrant
such a course.

PROVOKING BEER WARS.

PROVOKING BEER WARS.
A court decision rendered in
South Dakota deserves particular
attention, as it throws much
needed light upon what the Trus-
tees in their annual report tor 1899
styled "a Dangerous and Unwise
Policy"
It was then stated that in sew
eral States the lawmakers seek to
protect the local brewers bV an at
tempt to impose higher taxes upon,
or 20 exact higher license fees
from, the dealers selling beers
prodpsed in other States. In at
least one instance the local brew
ers asked and lsbored for the en-
actment Of such law, in the hope
that they would thereby be ena-
bled to exclude beers brewed in
other States, and to secure to them
selves exclusively their own par
ticular home market.
The Trustees pointed out the
dangers OF such course; the like
lihood OF its provoking what is
known as beer wars, and the temp.
tation that may easily grow out OF
it to apply this false principle even
to cities and counties of one and
the same State.
The Vigilance Committee con-
tinues:
"The decision which gives rise
to our remarks was rendered in
Sioux Falls, in the case OF the
Theodore Hamm Brewing Co., of
St. Paul. Mimi. against the author
tiles OF Brown County, S. d. The
St, Paul firm had refused to pay the
wholesale license Of 5000 Tor thei
warehous at Aberdeen. S. D., and
the sheriff thereupon proceeded to
close the establishment. A tenn
porary Injunction restraining the
sheriff from interfering with the
plaintiffs business was then OBJ
tanned by the Hamm Brewing Co.,
and regular legal proceedings were
instituted to show that the law re-
quiring the payment OF this license
fee is unconstitutional and a viola
tion OF the Interstate Commerce
Act. The judge upheld this con.
tention and perpetuated the mi juno
ton. Ifthe law had imposed upon
all wholesalers a license fee Of
equal amount, making no discrim-
ination against the agents OF brew
ers from other States, this decision
might not have been rendered.
THE Trustees, as we have
shown, very properly warned our
members against this short sighted
policy, and while we fully concur
in every word they said, we never
theless deem it our duty to state
that much discomfort prevails
among the smaller brewers on ac-
count OF what they regard as an in
vasiou Of their own legitimate
home market by the larger brewers
OF other States. Elk President Leo
Ebert voiced this sentiment at the
thirty-ninth Convention. While it
is not within our province TO dis
cuss the question OF competition,
except in so TAR as it may tend to
bring about such harmful legisla-
ton as we have here referred to,
we may be permitted to say tina,
the feeling of discomfort here al.
luded to is probably groundless In
very many instances. but thai
where it is we'll founded, an earn
est attempt to reach some under
standing as between local brewers
and brewers agents would in al
likelihood remove its cause and a
the same time prevent a resort [,
