ONLY NINE STATES PER-
NIT MEDICINAL" BEER

Washington. Oct. 25.-Pre-
soriptions of beer as medicine
under the new treasury regula-
tons can legally be made in
only nine states, Wayne B.
Wheeler, general counsel of the
Anti-Saloon League, said today
in a statement commenting on
issuance of the regulations.
These states, Mr.. Wheeler
said, are California, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Missouri, New
Jersey, New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Isalnd and Wis
oonsin. Prescription of beer also
is possible, he said, i'll the nom
prohibited portions of Louisiana
ard Maryland.
The brewers have several
hurdles yet to make before
me dicinal beer is reality" said
Mr. Wheeler. Most of the state
laws prohibit it. Others have
limitations as 10 quantity and
other regulations that make it
impracticable. For instance.
Minnesota allows only one pint
n ten days; Michigan only
eight ounces of liquor.
Only Druggist Can Sell Beer
THE brewer can not sell the
beer to the patient. The drug
eist is the only one who can fill
the prescription, and the drug
gists have gone ON record
against it. They know it means
converting their drug stores
into booze shops. To do so
for few days with the liabil-
ity of having a worthless stock
on hand will not appeal to
many.
THE brewers will have trou-
bic in getting permits. In the
states mentioned nearly every
one has violated the law or
regulations this last year. Very
few reputable physicians will
prescribe beer Seventy-cight
per cent of the doctors will not
even prescribe whisky.
"ln the meantime, the people
of the nation will become
aroused when they sec the drug
stores handling booze, and they
will insist that Congress pro-
vide speedy remedy for this
intolerable situation" - Phila-
delphia North American.

Courts Uphold State Power

Courts Uphold State Power
Attorney J. H. Collier of the Anti
Saloon League makes the following
statement on this point:
"If the Treasury Department makes
ruling permitting beer to be used
for medicinal purposes, it can not be
made effective in Illinois because
under the Illinois Prohibition Act eff
fective July 1st, 1921, it is expressly
provided that beer may not be pre-
scribed by doctor.
The courts have held under the
Eighteenth Amendment and the
power given to the state under
Clause of the Eighteenth Amend
ment to enforce the article by ap-
propriate legislation that while the
State can not enact less drastic legis-
lation on any particular phase of the
Prohibition issue, it can go further
than the Federal Government so that
under the Illinois Prohibition Act
Illinois has blocked the beer traffic
through doctors and druggists.

Brundage on the beer regulations ap-

History of "MedicinaP Beer
On the day before his term of Of
fee expired Attorney-General Palmer
issued a ruling in which he held that
the Volsiead Act does not prohibit
the prescription of beer for medicinal
purposes and that under existing laws
its manufacture and sale for medicinal
purposes was not prohibited. When
Congress convened a bill supple
mental to the Volstead Act was
! framed and introduced in the House
1t provided against prescribing beer,
limited the quantity of other liquors
that could be prescribed and con-
tained various other needed enforce
ment provisions. A fight against some
OF the minor provisions delayed action
on the bill To meet this situation
the Willis-C Campbell bill was intro
duced i'll the Senate. The identical
measure was then introduced in the
House where it passed on. June 9th
by vote of $50 to %. On August
9th the bill passed the Senate by
vote of SO to 20 with several amend
ments. 1t was then sent into con-
ference to adjust the differences be-
tween the House and Senate which
related chiefly to the question of per-
hitting dry agents to search homes,
automobile, ETC., without a warrant
On August 23rd the House by vote
of 100 to 81 ratified the conference
agreement In the Senate the vets
determined not to let the bill as
amended in conference and passed
by the House come to vote before
the recess adjournment. They sue
ceeded
When Congress reconvened the
vets continued their filibuster and
succeeded in delaying action on the
anti-beer bill until after the tax bill
shall have been disposed of.

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes Appeals
for Loyalty to Law

fFrom address delivered on October
Church, Philadelphia by Federal Prol
The personal liberty argu-
ment is like soap bubble. 1t
appears irridescent and real, but
when punctured, there is nothing
in it. They say the Eighteenth
amendment infringes upon per-
sonal liberty by restricting ones
personal habits.
Every law does that to a
greater or less degree. The mar
cotic law greatly interferes with
the personal habits of the drug
addict, and the traffic laws seri-
ously restrict the speed hend,
but these restrictions do not seri.
ously limit the man who puts
the community good above his
self-indulgence. Liberty is, after
all, personal habits restricted by
law for public good; license,
these same impulses unrestric-
ted.
Our laws are restricting, di-
recting and character forming,
and in them lies the secret of
Americas future. If any of the
pampered sons of American
wealth, or un-American sons Of
Europe, revolt against these
very forces from which have
sprung our greatness, let them
leave our shores, but let them
leave to us those institutions and
laws that have combined to make
the American in his ideals and in
moral grandeur unique among
the peoples of the earth.
Only One Constitution
There is only one constitution
and no part of that constitution
is less sacred than any other
part, We cannot permit the
open violation of any specific law
without at the same time foster
ing the spirit of anarchy that will
eventually hold all law in con-
tempt and disrepute Every sign
that points to the evasion or dis
regard OF the Eighteenth Amend
ment is on the high road of an
archy and lawlessness.
Zone of the greatest dangers
now confronting the republic is
that we shall lose our vision of
the sanctity and the majesty. of
the law. Only SO long as law
and constituted authority are
held in reverent regard by all our
people are the free institutions
of the land secure.
Bootleggers Ararchistic
1T is spineless American

that the citizen, upon whom we
depend to uphold our American
ism, awakens to the realization
that bootlegging is not a mere
pastime, but is a nefarious and
traitorous business.

Humbugging America
There is today a determined
attack on the Eighteenth Amend
ment masquerading as 'humani-
tarianism. The claim is made
that the enforcement OF the Pro-
hibition act is the melting cause
of crime, especially crimes of vio-
lence; and that for the good Of
humanity, the law should not be
enforced. By garbing the facts,
by startling and misleading head
lines, by bold and unsubstantia-
ted statements, the attempt is be-
ing made to humbug the Ameri-
can people into believing that the
great crime wave in this country
is the product of Prohibition.
1--WE are living in hectic mo-
ment. The whole world is trem-
ulous from the shock that nearly
swept civilization away. America
more than any other land is sen
sitive to great world movements,
economic. political or social. The
crime wave in America is but
part of the great crime wave that
is worldwide in its scope.
Figures Vindicate Prohibition
"In passing. however, it is well
to give attention to the following
statistics. which should and do
vindicate the Prohibition act.
There has been a decrease of
about 90 per cent in the number
of arrests for drunkenness under
national Prohibition.
"In ffty-nine cities of the Uni
ted States having a population
of 100000 or over, and a COM
bined population OF 100000,
including New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia, the official fig
ures show a decrease in arrests
for drunkenness of 316,842 in
1917 to 260,169 in 1918, to IT,
$50 in 1919 and to 109,769 in
1920.
Detroit reduced the arrests for
drunkenness from 1890 in 1917
to 6,244 in 1920.
The Boston police depart
ment reported 5,287 fewer ar
rests for all causes in 1920 than
from drunkenness in 1919. For
the state OF Massachusetts at
large the arrests for drunkenness
in 1920 were $3.50 as against
1925 in 1910.
'In 1917 the arrests for drunk
enness in New York were 1872;
in 1920 the number had dropped
to 1913.

which selected the members of the
Constitutional Convention.
The one=house limitation scheme is
as bad as no limitation at all. because
il would give the Cook county poll
tioians the power TO veto all legisla-
ton, and thereby the power to con-
troll all legislation. Down state and
the better interests in Cook county

thoroughly the dangers lurking in the
one-house limitation scheme.
Twelve states limit their populous

county as the unit of representation
Provision Already Adopted
The provision pending in the CON
vention which has already been
adopted by the majority in committee
of the whole is essentially the same as
the provision for representatives in
the lower house OF Congress. The
provision in the Federal Constitution
reads in part as follows:
Representatives shall be
apportioned among the several
states which may be included
within this Union according to
their respective numbers.
The number of representatives
shall not exceed one for every
$4,000, but each state shall have at
least one representative
Following this plan, the Illinois
Constitutional Convention, in commit

FARMERS WON'T
WORK so HARD
Expect to Profit by Lesson of
Over-ProductiOn.

Strikes may not be called by Indiana
farmers on account Of low grain prices.
They do not intend to let their corn land
lie fallow next year.
This was the emphatic expression OF
John G. Brown, president Of the Indi'
ana Federation of Farmers Associations,
today.
THE inertia of war production infiu-
enced farmers to raise too much last
year. Now they are preparing to settle
down to normal reaction" he said.
Much Of the land has lost fertility
on account Of overprOduction. To con-
serve and maintain fertility, legumes will
be sown in many places. The legumes
put nitrogen, one of the principal con-
stituents of grain. from the air back
into the soil by means of bacteria colo
MES on their roots. Some of these are
clover, soy beans and COW peas"
Brown also stated that the buying
power of the farmer is about two thirds
normal The cost Of manufactured prod
ucts is high as compared with the prices
Of farm products.
From 1909 to 1914 a set Of harness
could be bought for fortyfour bushels
Of corn. At prices which now, prevail
it takes about two and One-half times
as many or 115 bushels. During the
five years preceding the war a pillow
could be bought for sixteen bushels of
corn; now it requires forty-one for It's
