FEDERAL LIMITATIONS.

TO the Editor OF The Evening Journal.
Sir:N II 10 be true that our Federal
Government possesses no powers save
those delegated 10 it by the States. then
lit would seem that an enforcement law
concerning the 18th Amendment to the
Constitution can only prohibit and PEN
alize the manufacture and sale OF alc0-
'holic liquors for beverage purposes.
! The suggestions that have been made
in regard TO an enforcement law would
seem TO Indicate purpose on the part
of the prohibition majority to prohibit
the manufacture and sale Of whiskey,
wine and beer for all purposes, and no
one seems TO question the power OF
+ Congress to go TO such an extent in the
handling Of this very important matter.
Under the 18th Amendment the Fed
eral Government would not seem 10
possess any right 10 interfere with the
operation Of a dstillery, winery or
brewery unless it could be shown that
the owners were manufacturing ana
selling alcoholic liquors for beverage
purposes. There would not seem TO be
an the amendment any prohibition
against the manufacture and sale OF
such commodities for medicinal ana
other than beverage purposes, provided
The sale in each state should be In ac-
cordance with the laws Of the State
concerning such sale.
The history OF the prohibition move
ment would not seem TO indicate a dis
position on the part of the people to
prohibit the manufacture and sale OF
Nyhiskey, wine and beer for medicinal
use, and in all the State amendments
and in the national amendment great
care was exercised 10 avoid prohibi-
Hion of the manufacture and sale Of
whlskey, wine and beer for other than
beverage purposes.
10 would therefore seem that Con-
gress In the adoption Of the Enforce
ment Law is being persuaded 10 exer-

gated by the Stats 10 the Federal Gov

DESERVES STERN RFBuKE.

To the Editor OF The Evening Journal
Sir: The effrontery displayed by the
leaders OF the railway employees In en-
deavoring TO folst upon the American
people their demands that call for the
utter subservience Of over ninety-nine
per cent. OF our cltlzenry. deserves the
most stern rebuke, and be lt said TO the
credit Of our newspapers, that this re-
buke is not withheld. With a far-see-
ing eye the press clearly perceives that
n the audacious behests OF the railway
union labor leaders are listened TO- an
entering wedge for a reign Of paternal-
ism has been made, and an era OF un-
known autocracy has been born. The
countless millions who have died dur

perpetuate this freedom have been
wasted, II for one moment we allow
the chimerlcal ideas Of the labor lead
ers to hold sway.
