MALT REVERAGE

NALL AIknOGs
The law passed by the last legislature
permitting Virginia breweries to manu-
facture and sell malt Beverage nom
intoxicating drinks creating much
discussion, and portion of the press
processes to find therein q so-called
'joker" or, in other words, q provision
surrepliliOusly introduced allowing
breweries to evsde the laws governing
the sale of Intoxicating liquors. A re-
view OF the Law will disclose that such
an impression is erroneous, as the Sec
ton defining malt beverage shows
clearly the intention to surround the
manufacture OF the beverage with every
safeguard necessary to permit its Hle
where beer would be prohibited. Far
from being stealthily introduced, this
measure was widely discussed ia the
legislature and incorporated 10 the Byrd
law with practically no opposition.
The law defnes malt beverage to be
COMMUNICATING and net to contain
over two and one-gusritr per cent of
alcohol by volume, and requires the
manufacturer to pay a special license
tax and give ten thousand dollar bond
not to violate the law. It further pro-
yides that sales shall be made by the
manufacturer direct to the consumer in
quantities not less than six bottles or
more than four dozen, not to be drunk
where sold, end to be sold in sDecisl
bottles with the words "mait beverage"
and the name and address of the manu-
fscturer blow in the glass, and penaliz-
ing the filing of said bottles with any
liquid containing more than two and a
quarter per cent. of alcohol.
Experience has demonstrated that in
discriminating prohibitiye legislation
restricts the use of beer containiuz
about four per ceut. of alcohol, and pro-
notes the consumption " whisky With
ten times that alcoholic strength. Upon
this recognized fact is founded the
Goihenburg system of Scandinavian
Europe, which restricta the sale of dis
titled liquors under government super.
vision and encourages the substitution
Of light fermented beverages, resulting J

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 20, 1908

SPEAKER CANNON and those who aid
him n controlling the House against the
public interest showed yesterday even
ing that in their opinion the American
people era stupid and ignorant, capable
of being fooled by the lowest forms Of
political tricktry, and competent to
form no intelligent judgment of the
trickst,rs who attempt to deceive them.
They passed by q vote Of 100 to 125 a
bill providing for publicity Of all con-
tributlon, for election purposes but
coupled withit was a provision to re-
duce the representation of the Southern
States in Congress. The purpose, OBJ
vious to all persons, was ID prevent
the passage Of the publicity bill
by coupling with it proposition
which the senate will not accept.
But at the same time these tricksteFs ex-
pect the general public to believe that
they have placed themselves upon record
as favoring the publicity proposition,
when they merely have taken the snTest
means of killing it. For ways that are
dark and fOT tricks that are vain the
averages republican politician is peculiar.

SECURING YOUR SCALP
VIII Remove the Loose Dandruff
Scales But II Won't Cure Dandruff.

If your hair is brittle and thinning, you
have dandruf. The mere securing Of tha
scalp Of the loose scales, won't cure dandruh;
because dandruf is nothing but scales Of
scalp being thrown up by pestiferous little
germ in burrowing its way to the root Of the
hair where it saps the vitality, causing falling
hair and, in time, badness. Now you can't
stop dandru1 nor falling hair, nor prevent
badness unless you destroy that germ; and
the only preparation that can do il is the new
scientific discovery, Newbro's Herpicide. In
fact no other HAIR preparation claims to kill
the dandruf germ-all Of them will clean the
scalp; soap and water will do that, but only
Newbro's Herpicide gtts at the root Of the
trouble and kills the dandruff germ.

HOUSE..

Another bitter fight occurred in the
House today over the conference report
on the Mondell bill doubling the size Of
homestead entries and a personal en-
counter between Messrs Reeder of Kan
sas and Mondell of Wyoming was mar
rowly svertsd.
Mr.. Stevens (dem., Texas insinu-
atsd that the measure was a move to
allow the big cattle companies to double
their land holdings and absorb water re-
sources.
Mr.. Reeder (repn., Ksnsas) wfrned
the House that the bill opened up
loophole in the Lien Lands. He RE-
dcted his statement par ly on what a
man who had come from Wyoming 10
Kansas bad told him.
Mondell suggested some pad men had
gone into Kansas.
"Yes, aud !, / have wondered why the
people of Wyoming had not sent this
man 20 Congress" snapped Reeder.
"Men in the west seldom send men
h;rs who do not SCts what they want,
and l presume that men thst advocate
bis bill have hundreds of thousands of
acres of western land aud they have the
American disposition to want every
thing that sdjoins Them"
Mr.. Mondell declared this was re-
feet on on him and demanded an apology.
Mr. Cook (repn., Oolo.) advanced
down the center aisle to Mr.. Reeder
with a belligtrsnt air.
Both Mr.. Reeder and Mr.. Mondell
demanded the steuOgripher;s notes be
read. Proceedings we're stopped. The
speaker read section OF the rules t.
quiet down the members and ordered the
sergeant alarms ID make members take
their seats.
When the notes were read, the speak
er held the words did not reflect on
Mr.. Mondell. The Wyoming congress-
man agreed with the speaker but said he
understood Mr.. Reeder to say some
thing else.
The House voted down the conference
report, 9S to l4S. This vote is taken as
the death of the bill. Mr.. Mondell,
however, began a fight to have the bill
sent back to conference.

A VERY pertinent question WAS asked
Medill Mccormick, of the Chicago Tri-

s-atic member of the committee inves-
tigatiDg the paper trust "If similar
conditions could be shown to exist in
other industries should the t9riff affect
ing them not be revised also?" Mr.. Nc
COrmick declined to express an opinion
other than through the editorial columns
of the Tribune. AS the Tribune has
been noted for exploiting tariff reform in
''of years." and then supporting stand
pRtters for election, it really hinders
tariff revision more than helps it.

THE Sixtitth Congress will pass into
history as the spurious congress. 1t has
done nothing worthy OF a great repre-
sentative body. In its appropriations
il has been more extravagRnt than sny
of it, predecessors, and will leave the
government $6O,OOO,O 900 in arrears Oh
the first day of July next, and $780,
600, 900 in srrears on July l, 1909, so
that money will have to be borrowed
eTen for running expenses. 1t has re-
fused to modify the tariff even on wood
pulp and print paper, and failed to enact
currency legislation. 1t has upheld the
president 10 his wild and dangerous
assertions of the supremacy of the mill
tary over the civil power. Its sins of
commission and its sins of omission are
equally fragrant, because both are as
bad as possible. It's early adjournment
should be welcomed by the American
people. The only defect in the consti-
tuition is tat it requires this Congress to
meet again before its dissolution.
