DISTINCT VICTORY
FOR DISTILLERS
Solicitor Generals Opinion
!. in Whisky Case.
SUBMITTED TO PRESIDENT

While Not Final II Reverees the POSI-
tion Heretofore Taken by the De-
partment of Agriculture and sus.
tains the Contention of the Manu-.
facturers in the Matter Of Blended
Liquor.
Washington, June s.-Lloyd W.
Bowers, solicitor general of the Unit
ed States, has submitted to President
Taft his opinion as to what the term
whisky" means in law.
In effect Solicitor General 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 consider
that added coloring or flavoring mat
ter can make whisky out of what 9TH
srwise is not whisky. Whisky is re-
sarded generally and naturally as hav-
ing flavor and properties of its own.
40 LIZ hAoiS iCuoOh hoi oas Aho
that alcohol becomes whisky because
colored and favored like some true
whisky than for saying that alcohol
becomes brandy because colored or
favored like some brandy" he says.
On the other hand, the mere addition
of harmless coloring or flavoring mat
ter to what is previously whisky does
not destroy its whisky character I'M
less such addition unduly dilutes or
otherwise affects the essential prop
critics of the whisky"
While the opinion Of Mr.. Bowers Is
not final and may be overturned by a
subsequent proceeding 1t is distinctly
q 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, consisting
Of thousands of pages Of testimony
and a resume of the testimony and
the opinion of Solicitor General Bow
ers.
President Taft authorized the opin
lon of Solicitor General Bowers to be
made public, but announced no opin
Ion himself, because 1t was his desire
to hear further testimony taken from
what are known as straight whisky
