WELL, WHISKY IS
WHISKY, AFTER ALL
Just So 1t Has the Flavor, Says
Bowers, the Color Doesn't
Matter.

Washington, june 9.-Lloyd w. Bow
Ars, solicitor general of the United
States. today submitted to President
Taft his opinion as to what the term
"whissy" means in law.
In effect Solicitor General Bowers
holds, after a discussion at great length
what the term "whisky' meant at the
time of the passage of the pure food
law, that the public does not consider
that added coloring or favoring matter
can make whisky out of what otherwise
Is not whisky. Whisky is regarded gen
ally and naturally as having a flavor
n properties of its own.
"There is no more reason for saving
alcohol becomes whisky because colored
md favored like some true whisky
than for saying that alcohol bccomes
brandy because colored or Favored like
some brandy" he said.
O the other hand. the mere addition
OF coloring or flavoring mat
ter to what is previously whisky does
such addition anduly dilutes or other
wise affects the essential properties of
the whisky.
"One of the most important matters
IN a practical view is whether a mix
ture OF an admitted whisky with ncu-
ira spirits or alcohol nay be called
whiskey." says Mr.. Bowers. Such
mixtures have become Il most popular
form OF the beverage, 18th in the
United States and in England. 1t is
true as l learn from testimony
a larger quantity of these mix
lures than of straight whisky was con-
sumed during the last 20 years or
more"
Solicitor General Bowers holds that
the name whisky has no different
scope whether it be used as a drug or
as a beverage. He also holds thai the
contention that whisky may be made
from molasses is incorrect.
: While the opinion Of Mr.. Bowers is
not final and may be overturned by
subsequent proceedings, it is distinctly
"a victory for the contention of the
blended whisky distillers and Is a re-
versal Of the position heretofore taken
by the department of agriculture. The
opinion is very v~oluminous, consisting
OF thousands of pages of testimony and
q resume of the testimony and the
opinion of General Bowers.
President Taft authorized the opinion
of Mr.. Bowers to be made public, but
announced no opinion himself because
1t was his desire to hear further tcstl-
mony taken from what are known as
straight whisky" distillers.
