THE SHEPPARD BILL.
Its Provisions Are Being Dictated
Outside of Congress.

Editor of The Washington Herald: We
can't make bread without yeast, nor
yeast without producing alcohol. Yeast
is the great agent of fermentation and
fermentation produces alcohol from grain.
fruit, plant and even the product of the
forest. The world has known this for
1000 years but some United States Sena-
tors are now just learning the A C of
chemistry. These Senators have so spe-
cialized on prohibition that they have
never learned the commonest and most
universal fact which stands in the way of
their ideals. They are now trying to dis
cover a way to save the bakery and the
yeast factory without driving an OK team
right through the middle of the Sheppard
bill. But why try to save the yeast fac
tory and destroy other property which
depends on the yeast factory? II alcohol
Is the product of yeast, mixed with the
great staple Of the corn belt, why not 20
to the root of the evil and prohibit the
manufacture OF yeast? Instead of fight
ing the devil around the stump, they
should go after him directly, attacking
him in his own lair and by the prohibition
OF yeast, save our corn and wheat, our
fruit and vegetables from being converted
into alcohol
Senator John Sherman, years ago. told
the Senate that anybody could make al
cohol in soap box, a closet, or a cellar
just so long as he could secure corn,
yeast and water and had a cook stove or
a coal oil lamp. That was not new with
Senator Sherman. but it became neces-
sary for that hsrd-headed old statesman
to restate one OF the first laws Of fer
mentation to some of the Senators of his
day who appeared to have taken into
their stomachs to ferment what answered
for brains, just as some Senators are now
doing. Corn and yeast as well as apple
or grape juice and yeast are making pro-
hibltion a farce in several States where
they have these prohibition laws and
they will make prohibition a farce in the
District OF Columbia should the Sheppard
bill become law by the dictation of an
unofficial body.
1t does not appear that the Sheppard
bill originated with the Senator from
Texas whose name 1t bears, nor that he
is to decide whether It shall be amended
or not to save yeast. That discussion Is
taking place outside the Senate chamber,
and the decision is said to rest with the
president and attorney of the local Anti
Saloon League. These two gentlemen are
giving careful and prayerful considera-
ton to the complaint of the yeast factory,
while Senators Sheppard and Jones are
represented as waiting for this momen
tous decision. 1t is not explained which
OF the Senators is Punch and which is
Judy in this modern adaptation of the old
street corner show. but It must be a mat
ter OF congratulation to the people of
Texas and Washington that their distin-
guished Senators are performing In such
an entertainment, jumping and squeaking
just as the attorney for the Anti-SaIoon
League pulls the strings. Still the sena-
tors ought to be Identified. Which "a
Punch. and which is Judy?

HEAVY LOSSES in
LIQUOR BUSINESS
Falls Away by Millions Of
Gallons and Barrels, Says
Retailers Secretary.
DRINK BILL s2,5oo, 900, 900
Official Argues That Government
Should Recompense for Factories
Destroyed by Legislation.

Because the American people drank
100000 gallons less of whisky and dis
titled liquors, and 5000, 900 barrels less of
beer and fermented liquor during the
year of 1915, no less than forty-on brew
cries and los distilleries were forced to
go down before the destructive play
foot of the onrushing camel" This was
contained in the annual report of Sec
rotary r. j. Halle, read yesterday before
the twenty-third annual conference OF
the National Retail Liquor Dealers AS
sociation in the National Hotel. The re-
port points out, however. that despite
the decrease in the sales of liquor, the
drink bill Of the country amounted to
8. 500. 900 In 1915.
The secretary said the government
deemed 1t only proper and right that the
farmers whose animals were killed dur
Ing the quarantine of the foot-and
mouth disease should receive compensa-
ton. Therefore. he argued, II was only
right that the owners OF the $3.50 00o. 900
Of capital invested In the liquor trafic
should be compensated for their loss
through prohibitory laws. and suggested
an amendment to the Hobson prohibi-
ton resolution.
