The Brewers Lose
In Test Case
Judge Page besides for One-Half of
One Per Cent

In test case brought by the gov
eminent against the Stenson Brew
cry Company of Chicago, Federal
Judge Page decided that the manu-
facture and sale of beer containing
more than one-haf OF l per cen. al
cohol is illegal under the war Prohi-
bition act.
Attorneys for the brewers built
their demurrer against the informa-
ton suit brought by District Attor-
ney Clyne on the phrasing of the act
of February "a, 1olo-the wartime
Prohibition act-which describes the
beverages coming under the act as
liquors" The brewers claimed that
the word Intoxicating related to the
word beer and that beer contain
ing over one-half OF per cent, but
not more than 275 per cent alcohol,
was not Intoxicating.
In his lengthy opinion Judge Page
dismissed most of the legal authori-
ties quoted by the defense, which
were identical with those used in sim
liar test cases decided in favor Of the
brewers, as utterly useless and
himself read several authorities con.
tradicting those introduced by the
brewers.
Revenue Figures Accepted
a am of the opinion that Congress,
in passing the act OF February "a,
1919, had in mind in its construction
of beer malt beverage with the al
coholic content accepted for years by
the internal revenue department, and
to which the manufacturers of beer
never objected" said the judge in
concluding
And in the internal revenue acts
beer is described, along with other
fermented malt beverages, as con-
tanning more than one-half of l per
cent alcohol"
Judge Rage dlsregarded the claim
of the brewers that beer containing
not over 2.75 per cent alcohol was
not intoxicating and therefore not
within the scope of the act.
Attorney Henry Freeman, repre-
senting the defendants, entered a
plea of not guilty as soon as the Judge
had concluded his opinion, and was
given 90 days in which to file a bill
of exceptions to the decision. The
case will now be tried in a United
States District Court, whence it will
be taken to the United States Su-'
preme Court, regardless of what the
decision may be, since both sides are
interested in having precedent es-
tablished for future reference.

The Rich Versus Poor

The fact that people of wealth have
laid in ample supplies of liquor while
the poor must abstain is regretable,
but is not impressive as special
pleading. Wealth gorges while the
poor starve and rides while the poor
walk, and this has been true since the
world began.-Lincoln (Ill) Star.
