HuRRAH FOR FOLK!

The growing sentiment against
lynching is well illustrated by what is
going on in Missouri. Decent govern.
ment is not party question for reform
is party blind. Down in the old state
where only few years ago one or
more Negroes lynched was incense
quential there is a MAN at the helm,
and he says that the law must be
maintained for black as well as white
So the bloOdhounds Of the law are now
seeking the perpetrators Of this latest
burning Of innocent as well as guilty
men, whereas only short time ago
every means was used to catch alleged
rapists In order that barbarous peo-
pie might burn them.

What the Term Means.

According to the majority of authori
ties on the matter. the term like sub
stances" in this case means as in com
mercial usage, the substances which
have a common basis. ethyl alcohol
This would include neutral spirits and
silent spirits, high wines, low wines
and whiskies
The blend is the combination of two
or more of these liquors with harmless
coloring or f1avoring matter, such as
pure sherry wine, pure crystallized or
caramelized sugar, or pure prune juice.
1t is argued that the intent of the law
is to secure to the consumer pure
product, and that the combination of a
pure neutral spirit with straight whisky
produces an amalgamation that is as
chemically pure as the straight whisky
itself. 1t is generally expected that this
Interpretation will prevail with the COM
mission. and be given as the official in
depreciation of the law as it affects
the blenders
This would, it is stated do justice
to the accepted commercial uses of
what is known as blend.
