Editorial Comment
No Simple Matter


Those who think 1t will be a
simple matter to modify the Volstead
Act to legalize the sale of real beer
and wine should study the resolution
in the New York Assembly which
provides for referendum on the
question.
Originally, the resolution read,
SHOULD Congress modify the Fed
eral Act (Volstead Law so as
to permit the manufacture, sale and
possession of light wines and beer
under proper regulation and super
vision?"
This was submitted to EIihu Root.
the foremost authority on constitu-
tional law in the country. He re-
tected It and substituted the follow
ing wording:
Should Congress modify the Fed
eral (Volstead) Act SO that the
same shall not prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of beverages which
are not in fact Intoxicating as. de-
termined in accordance with the laws
of the different States?"
The amended resolution, sale of
! beverages which are not in fact in
toxicating," is very different from
the sale OF light wines and beer I'M
der proper regulation and super
vision"
1t is plain that Mr.. Root believes
that beverages which are 'in fact in
toxicating" cannot be sold while the
| prohibition amendment remains I'M
changed in the Constitution. Sem
ator Borah, the best authority on
| constitutional law in the Senate,
takes the same stand.
Under the provisions Of the Root
resolution States could pass legisla-
ton allowing 2.75 per cent beer. But
II the courts decided that 2.75 per
cent beer was 'in fact intoxicating"
then the State law allowing. it would
be unconstitutional. The whole
J theory of 2.75 per cent beer rests on
classed as Intoxicating bv the courts.
Beer and wine which are not in
| fact intoxicating are of no use to
| those who want real beer and wine.
! Such beer and wine lis only inn
! itation stuff.
Men do not drink beer and wine
! for the taste. Take six wine glasses
and in five of them put a sample of

hibition beer. In the sixth glass put

up and then ask any beer drinker to
drink the contents of each glass
while blindfolded and pick out the
near beer as he drinks 1t. Ten
chances to one he can't do it.
Men drink Cor did drink beer and
wine for their mildly exhilarating
qualities. Beer and wine which are
mot in fact intoxicating" have no
exhilarating qualities. If they had,
then near beer" and near wine"
would fill the bill.
The common sense of the matter
will show that the prohibition
amendment has us tied up tight and
fast so far as legalizing intoxicat-
ing beverages is concerned. It is. Of
no use for the politicians to tell us
that Congress can legalize real beer
and wine.
We wish 1t were so. We think
there is a real demand for legalizing
beer and wine which, though ad-
mittedly intoxicating if taken in suf-
flcient quantities, are relatively
harmless.
But truth compels us to say that
only by modifying the prohibit, n
amendment to the Constitution can
those who demand them secure real
beer and wine legally.

The Stonington two asted
schooner Annie & Reuben arrived in
Portland Harbor at noon Wednesday.
At 1910 the Weather Bureau hung
out southeast storm warnings, and
Portland felt snow in the air. The
old ''rainmaker' is still up to the
tricks that are of 35 years stand
ing, for she has never been known
to enter that port within that time
without bringing bad weather with
her. She brought 1876 tons of granite
from the quarries of her home port.
Some of the blocks weigh 20 tons,
and the entire cargo is to be trans
ported by train to Concord, n. H.,
for dressing. Captain John E. Duke
and his crew. who think no less of
the old schooner because of her
reputation as a weather breeder, are
all ardent radio fans and keep in
