ROOSEVELT AGREES THAT
WHISKY MUST BE GOOD

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 26.-
Circumstances gradually developed in
the pending prosecution of the whisky
dealers Tor violation of the pure food
law indicate that the most distinguish
ed and powerful advocate of the doc
trine of straight whisky is the Presi-
dent of the United States. He is
against those who mix straight whis-
ky with neutral spirit and little flaw
oring and coloring matter and call it
whisky. or blended whisky"
1t came about this way;
Dr. Harvey w. Wiley. Chief of the
Bureau of Chemistry and Chairman of
the Board of Food and Drug lnspec-
ton, has been experimenting with
whisky Tor some time. He came to
the conclusion that whatever whisky
goes into man should go in alone,
and that whisky should be a real dis
tillate from real grain of the best quail
ity and contain, when distilled, all the
ingredients necessary to make q good
whisky after it is sufficiently aged
Upon examination he convinced
himself that at least some rectifiers
or whisky manufacturers have been
in the habit of taking neutral spirits
that is, the second or byproduct of
distillation, and adding to it the other
ingredients OF whisky or other in
gradients which make 1t taste and
smell like whisky and calling that
whisky.
Now the rectifiers assert that whis-
ky is whisky and that everything
which comes out of the still spout,
at whatever stage Of the process, is
IA ~ hos ~ ON nf it docs nnT
contain the proper amount of certain
wholesome and palatable ingredients,
then there is no harm in adding these.
The rectifiers, moreover, assert that
gentlemen who drink understand per-
fectly well that their drinks are mixed
and that the adding of certain sub
/ stances improves rather than Injuries
it. And they continued to doctor their
whisky as before.
DR.. Wiley was the sole champion OF
good liquor for a long time. Some
body convinced his chief, the Secre-
| tary of Agriculture, that mixed drinks
are Just as good if not better, and the
Secretary did not give much encour-
| agement to the doctors proposed cru
sade against those who tamper with
the chief necessity Of life.
i Bf- whey pore Ils oDl1OatttoA % MS
chief for a while. but not TOR long.
Chatting under it, he determined upon
| a bold stroke. Gathering unto him
| self a few jugs, glasses, test tubes
and small scales, he proceeded to the
! White House.
He and the President retired to q
| secluded corner of the executive cham
| bers and took the matter up in con
| cert. After a little demonstration OF
a highly satisfactory character they
emerged and sent for Attorney Gen
| eraI Bonaparte, who was given to I'M
derstand that from thenceforth the
! President is tooth and nail against
mixed drinks, and the law should be
! construed accordingly.
Shortly after that Attorney General
Bonaparte was asked for his official
opinion as TO what constitutes whisky,
and as to what names should be put
| upon the bottles OF mixed drinks.
