LEARNED DISSERTATION on
Whisky A VICTORY FOR
BLEND plsTlLLERs.
WHISKY MAY BE DILUTED
AND STILL BE WHISKY
Solicitor Bowers Makes Report to Pres
ident Taft on Much Disputed Point
Addition Of AduItsrants insufficient
to Destroy Flavor to Be Not Viola
ton Of Pure Food Laws.

Washington, June 7.-Solicitor Cen
eral Bowers today submitted to Pres
ident Taft his opinion as to what the
term whisky" means in law. In effect
Bowers holds after discussing at great
length what the term whisky meant
at the time of the passage of the pure
food law, that the public does not con-
slider that added coloring or f1avoring
matter can make whisky out of what
otherwise is not whisky. Whisky is
| regarded generally and naturally as
having flavor and properties Of its
own.
A mixture of whisky with alcohol or
neutral spirits Is entitled to the name
whisky, Boxers holds, provided the
mixture retains substantial amount
Of by-products in proportion Of the
volume Of the mixture, giving distinct
flavor and properties. He says the ad-
dition Of alcohol to whisky is not the
Introduction Of a foreign substance, but
Is merely an enlargement OF the pro-
portion Of one proper constituent It Is
merely form Of dilution, just as the
addition Of water Is. Dilution by al
cohol lessons only the congeneric
strength and unmistakably the reduce
ton of the stronger straight whisky by
the addition Of alcohol to identify 1t
with the weaker straight whisky does
not deprive the mixed article Of the
name of whisky.
Bowers holds the name whisky has
no different scope whether 1t be used
as a drug or as beverage. He also
holds that the contention that whisky
may be made from molasses Is incor-
rect. While the opinion of Bowers Is
not Anal. and may be overturned by
subsequent proceedings, 1t is distinct-
ly victory for the contention Of the
blended whisky distillers and is re-
versal Of the position heretofore taken
by the department of agriculture. The
opinion is very voluminous.,

It Is finished. In blaze OF spiritual
glory the greatest revival Marshall-
town, Marshall county or central Iowa
has ever witnessed was brought to a
close in the big wooden tabernacle
Sabbath night. The last sermon to win
men and women to God has been
preached, the last song to move souls
to Christ has been sung, and the null
titudes which have gone to the tenn.
porary cathedral daily for evangelistic
gatherings have dispersed.
In a grand finale Of conversions the
six weeks Of labor Of Rev. Mr.. Sun
day. his assistants and the scores Of
others who helped him and the cause,
was brought to- a finish.
Summary Of Results.
What then was the result Of the re-
vival? From the standpoint of those
who promoted it the conversions come
first. The total Of the converts was L.
987. OF these 225 were converted at the
closing meeting, and thirty-nine at the
farewell service for men. But other
spiritual results have come out Of the
revival. The preachers have been
awakened to their duty, and more SER
mons OF the old time doctrine may be
expected from the local pulpits. Back
sliding church members have been re-
claimed, limp and useless christians
have been brought into the fold Of God,
and the church. as a whole, has been
shaken from corner stone to steeple
top and aroused to a sense of its true
mission and purpose Morality has
been strengthened, and men who live
moral lives have been made better, IL
not converted.
The saloon and. the liquor evil has
been attacked Sas 1t never was before,
with the indirect result that the city
may go dry. questionable amusements
and pleasures Of all kinds have been
arraigned, and hundreds have been
made TO see In them evils that threat

With thA closing day Of the revival
came the food Of money, the free will

for his work. It reached high tide at
the morning service. and ebbed and
flowed thru the afternoon meeting for
men and the farewell service at night.
When Mr.. Sunday left last night he
carried q draft for $6,022.06, which was
given In cash during the day. An adj
