How ever. Justice Sayre personally suggest ed that the court of appeals recon slider the case, believing that not enough evidence had been submitted against Addington. Justice Thomas concurred in this suggestion, but the supreme court was unanimous in de- nying the application for writ of certiorari Had not the court of ap- pea1s of it's own volition. recalled the decision Addington would have gone to prison as the supreme court had acted finally against him.
 Justice Sayre's opinion in the case of ex parte Jacob L. Addington, seek ing writ of certiorar directing the court of appeals to change it's decision follows:

Tn order that sources of food might be conserved, it was provided original ly that conversion of grain into whisky should be discontinued. Practically ev- erybody in Congress favored that in- hibition. It would not impose pro- hibition because of the three-year sup ply of whisky in bonded warehouses. Because of that same supply it would not prevent the collection of revenue from owners and consumers of whisky.
 But the prohibitionists of the House, alert for every opportunity, wrote at the direction of the prohibi- tion lobby which the New York World characterized as "pious and paid,' a nationwide prohibition bill The pro- hibitionists in. the Senate, despite the inevitable delay which their pro- gramme would have entailed. prepared to press the agitation for war prohi- bition against the wishes of the peo- pie; and prepared to blame the anti prohibitionists for the necessary de- lay
 The President, however. stepped in with an appeal to the Natriotism of the ''dry" advocates and without good grace in part they yielded. Thus the rapid enactment of the bill, which in its drastic departures is epochal, is as sured

 It was argued by Senator Hardwick that in the future all business would be dependent entirely on executive fla vor. That argument has probably a
 basis in truth It is the sense of Con-

 necessary. He is entrusted with the
