ONES
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

sold was known as Mead" which
counsel for appellant contends is not
violative of the statutory prohibition
law of the commonwealth.
The appeal involves the proper in
depreciation of section 1 of the prohi-
bition measure prohibiting the sale of
ANY vinous, alcoholic, malt, intoxi.
eating or spurious liquors or intoxicat-
ing bitters, or other drinks, which, if
drunk to excess. will produce intoxi
cation" The phrase (which, if drunk
to excess, will produce intoxication, >"
is of course, the bone of contention,
appellant contending that the bever-
age he sold does not contain suffi
cient quantity of alcohol to make tho
jag come, regardless of the quantity
an individual might consume.
The state, on the other hand, con-
tends that under a proper construc-
ton of the entire section, it is not nee
essary to prove that the beverage con
tain any alcohol whatever; that if it
is shown to be a malt liquor, or bev-
erage, its sale is prohibited under the
laws of this state.
The sale of near-beer has been the
subject of much controversy in a num-
Der of counties for the past year or
so, and in view of the fact that the su-
preme court, in the case of Bacot VS.,
State, recently decided that if liquid
produces a feeling like alcohol" it Is
not necessary for the prosecution to

offer additional proof, and that the
sale of shch a liquor or liquid is pro
hibited by law, it is regarded as more
than probable that near-beer is doomed
to meet with legal disapproval.
The Bacot case had reference, how
ever, to a liquid that was being sold
as a phosphate, and it is not final or
conclusive, as applied to the near-beer
problem.
Owing to the very general sale of
many varieties of near-beer, almost.
beer, not-quite beer, etc, under nu-
merous fancy names, and especially
during the summer months, the OUT
come of the Edwards case will be
awaited with much interest.
There has been some talk of set
Ting the near-beer problem at the next
session of the legislature by legaliz-
ing its sale under a heavy privilege
tax, but there is some doubt as to
whether the same lawmaking body
that enacted the statutory prohibition
law would consent to placing such
measure on the statute books. Some
of the prohibition leaders, especially
the radical element, contend that it is
more probable that the legislature
will pass a law expressly forbidding
the sale of near-beer, regardless of
the name under which it is offered,
and placing the burden Of proof on the
vendor by compelling him to prove
that the beverage he sells contains
no alcohol whatever.
Officers in the various counties say
that they have rarely. if ever, obtained
conclusively proof in any instance
where near-beer has produced intoXi
cation, but that the chief element OF
danger in its sale is the fact that
many INSCRIPTIONS dealers mix IN
real beer with the beverage containing
low percentage of alcohol, and sell
the genuine article to customers whom
they know they can trust; that many
of the dealers in near-beer are parties
who are now, or have been in the past,
under suspicion as blind tiger keep
ers.
At present the state is getting no
revenue of any nature whatever from
the near-beer dealers. The consti-
tuted authorities being in doubt.as to
the legality of it's sale, decline to issue
privilege licenses to the dealers which
the latter would of course be glad to
nav in order that their business could
assume some form of legality

New Orleans States.

NEW OIleduS states.
The record of the Pennsylvania
railroad shows that during the year
1908 it carried nearly 142 100000 pas
sengers and killed none IN the same
year all the other railroads together
killed only one passenger to each 49,
900 600 carried, while in 1907, the ratio
was one passenger killed in train ac-
cidents to every 100000 carried,
which shows a great Improvement for
1908, which justifies the hope that Il
still better record will be made during
the present year. Railroad managers.
| it appears, are disposed to attribute
the improved accident record to the
fact that the business depression Of
1908 took large numbers of freight
| trains off the tracks and out of the
way of the fast passenger trains, hence
the contention is that the number OF
accidents rises or falls as the freight
traffic is increased or decreased be-
cause the demand of the country is
for haste in handling this traffic. In
1907 freight trains participated in 81
per cent. of accidents and u per cent
of the fatalities. Commenting on the
reports received by the interstate
Commerce Commission from the rail
roads the New York Times says:
"A second reason for the safer
travel last year and this is that the
traffic is handled only by experienced
hands. The maximum fatality (41C
passengers in 1907 resulted from the
fact that it was the last of several
years in which the railways were TAX
ing on an average of 100000 new
hands each year. Their ineXperienct
was not the worst feature of this sit
uation. The demand for labor anc
the dictatorial spirit of the unions
were such that discipline and eff
cheney were at the lowest ebb. In
1908 100000 railway employees were
laid off, and the spirit of those re
naming employed was chastened, wifi
the result that, including all sorts o
accidents, 400 are now alive wn'
would have been buried if the fierce
activity of 1907 had been prolonge'
through 1908. Including passengers
employees, and trespassers, the rallwa,
death roll has averaged above 1000
since 1903. This is worse than wal
and equal to a pestilence. 1t is we
come newsstand none the less so be
cause it follows the precedents-tha
those who go cruising in Pullman
or tourists, or even the ordinary cars
can do so with assurance that thel

was. People are killed in 'sleeper'
