VALIDITY OF ACT
Of CONGRESS ISSUE

New York, May. 3.-The ordt-
wary kind of hearing on the 2.fs per
cent beer bill is not desired by the
Anti Saloon league, as the only real
question involved Is the legal question
of whether New York has the power
to legalize the sale of liquor with a
higher alcoholic content than that fix
ed by act OF congress under the eigh-
teenth amendment. so william H. An
derson, superintendent OF the league,
telegraphed Gov. A. y. Smith
Mr.. Anderson told the governor that
If he cared TO hear the strictly legal
aspects of the matter presented, the
league would have Wayne r. Wheeler
go To Albany for that purpose,
IF the state Of New York has not
the power to defy an act of congress.
then no c1amor by thirsty mob that
overfiows the capital will change the
merits of the situation" he said. If
the supreme court, on the other hand.
contrary to our expectations, shall
hold that New York can nullify an act
of congress, then we accept the for
tunes OF war and proceed to arouse
the people TO elect officials charged BILE
with responsibility of making the laws
of the state who will not desire TO
secede~ from the American Union ia
behalf of beer.
