HILL CASE MAY GIVE LIBERALS
AMMUNITION FOR DRY FIGHT
Representative Says Acquttal viii Help Struggle fo,
2.75 Beer-Haynes to Continue Prosecu.
tiOns Despite Verdict.

What will come out of the acquit-
tai of Representative John Philip
Hill of charge of violation Of the
Volstead act by manufacturing cider
and wine in his cellar?
That question is causing wide
spread p u a o n these days.
Claims Of victory are sounded by
both "wets" and "drys," while the
prohibition unit announces that the
jury verdict of mot guilty is no
precedent at all, and the makers of
cider, wine and fruit juices, there
fore, had better beware-they are as
liable as ever if their liquor be-
comes Intoxicating In fact"
The upshot of the whole affair
seems to be, for the present, In the
view of disinterested observers, that
Hilis acquittal on charge of vio-
lating the prohibition law because he
had wine and cider of more than ono
half of one per cent at his home, will
make little difference in the immed-
late enforcement of prohibition, but
may afford the liberal element in
Congress with ammunition for much
heavy cannouading against the Vol
stead act in the future.
Hill Sees Stand Strengthened.
Enthusiastic over his clean slate
at the hands of the jury, Repre-
sentative Hill is waxing eloquent.
He predicts his acquittal will have
weight with Congress in his fight
for making 2.75 wine and beer legal.
II am not surprised that the jury
found me not guilty" said Repre-
sentative Hill, II made the test pure
ly to find out if Congress, in pass
ing the Nolstead act, intended to
make one law for the farmer, by
allowing him to make fruit juice and
cider of unknown alcoholic content,
and at the same time limit the city
man to insipid beer of one-half of
one per cent. The verdict has justi-
fed my contention. and L believe will
go 4 long way toward modifying the
Nolstead act.
Judge Soper's ruling that nome
made wines and cider must be in
toNicating in fact will help in pass
ing some of the 60 bills for Els
per cent beer to be introduced when
Congress convenes. We now have
a ruling on what is intoxicating in
fruit juices and cider. but beer re-

Prosecutions to Go On.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
says prosecution of violators will
continue on the old basis, regard
less of the Hill acquittal. The jury
verdict was not judges decision,
he holds, and the only decision made
by Judge Soper during the trial is
claimed by Mr.. Haynes to be in
conformity with farmer interpre-
prohibition unit.
Emphasizing his opinion that the
Hill verdict was purely an dndi-
vidual acquittal. Mr.. Haynes went
So far as to say that there 'are
many sections of the country where
the verdict of the jury would have
been just to the contrary, even in
session of liquor of much less per
cent of alcoholic strength
The holdings of the court viii
not require any change whatever in
existing regulations, and therefore
none will be made"
The comparatively "dampness" of
Congress, not only in the short seS-
sion from December to March i'm
mediately in prospect, but also In
the new SOUBEcSS,
new faces, therefore looms up. In
the opinion Of observers. as perhaps
the most influential fact in the pros
poets before Representative Hill and
his hopes for modification of the
Volstead act
Both Claim Gains.
Varying claims are made by oppos-
| ing sides as to the possibility of lib
eralizing the national prohibition act,
to the extent of 2.75 beverage, but
even more widely different claims are
made as to the composition of the new
Congress. Both the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
and the Antisaloon League have
claimed gains. the one for the lib
erals" the other for the "drys." 1t
remains for a test vote only, to prove
whether the new Congress will be
wetter or dryer than the one which
has but few more months Of life.

ECHOES OF "DIPLOMA MILLS" STILL HEARD.

The average leyel-hcaded citizen will not be surprised at the judicial decision in Bridgeport nullfying the appeal of five "eclectic" doctors who sought to remove the stigma that they had not obtained their diplomas to practice medicine as the result of graduating from accredited medical colleges. While he was at 1t Judge Avery landed haymakcr upon the medical examiners Of the "eclectic" board, saying 1t was his opinion that they knew the facts in the case.
 This much is clear to everyone: That nobody is justified in being a medical practitioner who has not graduated from a proper medical school. There are different schools of medicine, and different schools Of thought upon curing folks of their Nils; but this much remains logical conclusion: That no one has the right to practice the method of any one school that is not accredited as turning out graduates acceptable to the state. One school of medical thought follows one system and other
 schools follow other systems; but the graduates of no one school can with Justice give the impression hy word or deed or action, that they are graduates of another school And
 when into this mixture is added so-
 called fake diploma milP factories ! the sta.e is justified in keeping the 1 field clean.
