March 12, 1908.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 7-(Specal CORE
spondence)-Ihe Senate committee judiciary
held its final hearing the interstate shipment
bills relating to shipments of Intoxicating liquors
today, and present indications are that the COM
mittee will favorably report the Bacon BILL which
meets with the unqualified approval of Finley c.
Hendrlckson and Matthew E. O'Brien, represen-
tatlves of the Prohibition party at the Capitol
The liquor men have long since quit combating
the proposition that wisdom, necessity and pro-
priety demanded that the federal government
cease to assist and protect men in the violation
of state laws. These hearings have been con-
fined principally to the question of how far Con-
gress can go under the Constitution in lifting it's
protecting hand from these violations of state
law.
At the hearing today Robert G. Grain, repre-
senting the National Brewers Association, pre-
sented printed brief in which he held that a
man had the constitutional right to get drunk,
and that the state could not prevent him from
so doing, if he got drunk in his own home, and
that the national government having recognized
the liquor business as legitimate could not ham,
per its commerce between the states
His brief was very weak both in logic and
law, and the fact that he did not appear in person
to answer the questions of the committee on the
claims that he made, shows that he did not care
to have his contentious made the subject of cross
fire by the proponents of the legislation that he
claims is unconstitutional
Finley c. Hendrickson, representing the Pro-
hbition party, filed a brief in which he recited
the history and purpose of the Constitution, and
cited many cases to bear out his contention that
it is in the power of Congress to so regulate in
terstate commerce that no violator of state law
can be protected
For an hour and a half he argued and stood
the cross fire of questions which brought out
many statements that strengthened his position.
He said that, in his opinion, should the matter
of interstate shipment of liquor come before the
Supreme Court today with the growing senti-
ment against the traffic, the court would brush
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-03-12

away all the cobwebs and reasonings that have
clouded the subject and hold that no violator of
state law claim the protection of the consti
tutional clause relating to interstate commerce in
this class of goods.
Matthew E. O'Brien who had spoken on three
other occasions before the committee, said he
wished to be heard again, since the personal use
question had been interjecte by the opponents
of the bill He did not believe that Congress
should pay any attention to the claims made that
a man has right to drink liquor and to order
it from an adjoining state for his personal use.
Congress by this legislation is not declaring
anything on the use or traffic an Intoxicating
liquors. Congress is assuming no policy on the
question. 1t is leaving the matter entirely to the
state to say what shall be the manner of dealing
with liquor within its own borders, and each one
of the forty-six states can deal with the personal
use question as it sees fit.
If Congress passes the Bacon bill it simply
provides that the liquors shall be subject to the
police powers of the state, when they reach the
destination, and that shippers who misbrand their
shipments and common carriers who assist liquor
men in evading the law or who deliver goods at
a point other than the one named on the pack
age shall be punished by United States
authority.
The proposition for amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States prohibiting the
manufacture, sale and importation of Intoxicating
liquors and narcotic drugs, introduced by Repre-
sentative Acheson of Pennsylvania, affords more
fighting ground than most people realize.
The bill was introduced at the request of
Matthew E. OBrien and the scheme as outlined
by the author of the resolution will give the
liquor men a chill Mr. OBrien says:
Il drafted and caused to be introduced by Rep
resentative Acheson the resolution for a consti-
tutional amendment, because I believe that there
is fighting chance for it, and because the liquor
have claimed all laws attempted to prevent
them from flooding territory with their goods
after the people have voted them out are uncon-
stitutiona

IF to have a constitutional amendment
fight believe that we might we'll have the fight
an amendment that will something.
Since we have been told so often this winter that,
if wish to remedy evils must amend the
Constitution thought it we'll to put it up to the
men who have told us that to say whether they
would give us chance to amend it."
The resolution puts it up to Mr. Jenkins and
the judiciary committee to say whether or not
they will deny to the American people through
the legislatures of the several states to express
their will this vital question To refuse to
pass the resolution, Congress must assume that it
will not allow the people the right to express their
desire on Prohibition. On the eve of Presi-
dental election, Congress declare that popular
government in the United States is at an end?
If Congress assumes that attitude, then the
people can fight for the election of men to the
state legislatures in the several states who will
petition Congress to submit this question and
carry on the fight any way. If Congress submits
the question would carry on the fight to have
the amendment ratified by the requisite three
fourths of the states If Congress does not sub
nit, we know where to place the responsibility
and then fight for the states to compel
Congress to act, which only requires petition OF
wo-thirds of the states.
The purpose of the resolution is to give the
liquor men battle at the moment in every
Congressional district and in every assembly dis
trict in the United States and not allow them to
concentrate their forces
This constitutional amendment would give us
the kind of Prohibition that will prohibit without
any question, and we are going to get it sooner
later, and might just as we'll begin the fight
now.
Of course even this amendment will require
officials and party behind it in sympathy with it
and can make the people realize that wher.
we have shown that the old parties dare not trust
them to express their preferences between the
saloon and the home
