Rupert Beer appeal
and Arguments Close

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2l.-Thc valid
ity of the wartime prohibition law
and the Volstead act for its enforce
ment was put squarely before the Su-
preme Court to-day with the closing of
arguments attacking and defending
ton as to when an opinion might be
rendered, but owing to the Importance
OF the issue early determination was
considered probable.
After rendering opinions Monday the
court will recess until December 8, so
1t is not like y the cases will be de-
cided before that time National Con-
sttutional prohibition becomes ctfcc-
tive January 16, and if an opinion is
not. rendered by that date it would
make no difference what the court de-
passed through the wartime prohib-
tion period.
Arguments to-day were confined en-
tircly "a the appeal by Jacob Rupert
New York brewer from dismissal of
proceedings brought to prevent Federal
revenue officers from interfering with
the manufacture Of beer containing
more than onc-half of 1 per cent al
cohol. Elhu Root, counsel for Rup-
pert, charged prohibition advocates in
Congress- with taking advantage Of the
year of grace" allowed by the CON
stitutional amendment. and which he
said came very near" being contrac,
between the Congress and the states,
and with having "hecklcd and harried'
the liquor interests while attempting
to shove forward national prohibition q

war emergency. Mr.. Root also de-
plored the granting of unlimited power

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Mrs. Ellis
Meredith, of Colorado, organizer of
the woman's bureau OF the Democratic
National Committee and Il first lieu
tenant of Mrs. George Bass. national
leader OF the Democratic sutrragists,
to-day commended the stand of Miss
Mary Garrett Hay, the New York leader,
against the rcnomination and rcelcc-
ton Of Senator Wadsworth.
"Miss Hays assertion that she will
oppose the reelection Of Senator Wads-
worth is one OF the hravcst pronounce
Ments yet made by any political leade r
among women" said Mrs Meredith
Miss Hay might go into every county
in New York and talk TO the women
voters there, calling on them to forget
Wadsworth's long opposition, and the
only result would be they would turn
against her. She knows that
"N omen hate to be made ridiculous.
To go out and ask women to give their
votes to man who still insists that
they ought not to have any votes to
give is 10 score 100 per cent absurdity.

Intoxicating, Judge John c. Pollock
OF the United States district Court
declared to-day in decision granting
temporary injunction to restrain the
| United States District Attorney and
the Collector of Internal Revenue from
interfering with the manufacture and
sale of such beer by St Louis brewers.
The injunction will become effective
tomorrow, when Judge Pollock signs
the order, he announced tonight
Judge Pollock's decision, while con-
fnng itself to ruling on 2.7J per
cent beer, calls attention to the fact
that war was bein., waged at the time
the constitutional prohibition amend
lnent was submitted by Congress to the
state legislatures and that Congress
at that time did not attempt to arro~
gate to itself the passage of prohi-
bition bill as war measure
The state legislatures voted on rati-
fcaton, the decision said, on the prom
ise Of Congress that pfter the neces-
sary number of states had ratified the
amendment a year would be permitted
TO lapse before it should be enforced
by the government.
Rights of States Recognized
Congress therein recognized the
rights of the states, even in war times,
tie decision said. and it had not now
t e righ. to infringe on state powers
With reference TO prohibition enforce
Ment
In enacting the enforcement law. the
decision said, Congress attempted to
re-cxercisc war powers when the war
emergency no longer existed and tried
10 Justify by one section of the Con-
stltution an act which was forbidden
by another section.
The decision further points ou: that
Congress in this instance has enacted
law which does not pretend to con-
cur with the state law of Missouri,
but is in direct conflict with it," It
says the laws of Missouri do not pro-
hiblt the manufacture OF the brewers
product and that the brewers have paid
large sums into the state Treasury
rom the proceeds of a business which
was recognized BY the state as legal.
Injunction Effective at Once
The Judge cited the words of Presi
AA'N'A'
prohibition enforcement act as proof
that to all practical intent the war was
over. He asserted this act took away
he police powers Of the states and
Violated the Eighteenth Amendment to
thc Constitution.
The decision does not deal with
whisky or any liquors or beverages of
greater alcoho lc content that Pts per
cent and covers only the specific
grounds on which the validity of the
law was attacked in the injunction suits
brought by the brewers, who sought
to establish their right to make and
sell 2.75 beer.
Judge Pollock did not rule on the
constitutionality of either the wartime
prohibition law or the Nolstcad enforce
ment act.
Time for States to Wake In"
The plea madc by tho brewers in the
suits for an injunction was that 2.75
per cent alcohol IN beer was not intox-
icating, and asked that the defendants
be enjoined from enforcing the law as

Enlisting at Fort Ethan Allen

Vermont young men, both those
who have had army service and those
who have not, have the opportunity
offered them Of enlisting in Uncle
Sans big army with all the advanta-
ges which the university in Khaki"
will offer, and still be near their
friends and relatives during a part,
and possibly their entire period of en-
listment. They may do this by en-
listing now at Fort Ethan Allen and
they can have their choice of four or
five excellent branches of the service,
including the Infantry, Quartermaster
Corps, Medical Department, Signal
Corps and Motor Transport Corps.
Fort Ethan Allen is one of the fin
est army posts in the entire country
and the vacancies in the service are
now rapidly filling up with fine class
of young men who are largely recruit
ed from Vermont. Some of them
have seen one or more years service
while others are going into the army
for the first time, impressed by the
opportunity of securing educational
and training advantages which are to
form such big feature of the new
army and all under the healthful and
neutrality-suspicious. of army life.
Great opportunities are offered men
who enlist now to rapidly rise to nom
commissioned rank with the greater
advantages and increased pay which
the non-commissioned officer receives.
The new army is just now in the pro-
cess of organization and men, either
with or without service who enlist
now will be in line for rapid promo
ton if they make good. The pay OF
$50 per month for a private and cor
responding increases for other grades
established during the war will almost
certainly be continued and when it is !
considered that the soldier has moth
ing to pay out for either board or
clothes, the pay of the soldier COM
pares very favorably with that of
other employment.
In the new army opportunity will
be afforded every soldier to secure the
of good common school
education as well as opportunity for
training in trades and specialized
branches. Vermont young men who
desire to enlist in the new army and
serve near their homes should apply /
to the Recruiting Officer at Fort Ell
han Allen.

FIRE AT PASSUMPSIC
Dwelling House Burned With Loss
of $1,000 and Other Buildings
Saved by Chemical Engine

Fire broke out in the dwelling
house of Mrs. Stevens at Passumpsit
yesterday morning at 1912. Severa
adjoining buildings caught fire and 9
hurry call was sent to st. Johnsbury
fire station for help. Chief Marder
with his chemical engine made a
quick run to the scene of the fire and
soon had it under control. The az
joining buildings were saved but the
fire had made such rapid progress
that the Stevens house was destroyed.
There are various rumors as to
cause of the fire but none are authen-
tic. The property carried small in
surance. The loss will be around
$1,000.
