Senator Dilrs Beer Test.

If 80 per cent beer is Intoxicating, il
is unconstitutional. The only way to
determine whether 1t is intoxicating is
to drink it A straight line Is the short
est distance between two points, and
Senator Dill proposes that the practical
way of determining the intoxicating or
mountaineering qualities of 80 per
cent beer by weight is to drink it.
This, in turn, would determine the con-
stitutionality Of an act legalizing such
a beverage, and determine 1t in ad-
vance, instead of after, such legaliza-
ton.
The proposal seems logical. If twelve
men, say, gathered around table and
were permitted to drink stein after
stein of beer until each had quenched
his thirst-for no other limit should be
placed upon the quantity to be drunk
and the twelve men emerged from the
laboratory and. coldly sober and un-
moved. made their report, the beer. in
theory, would not be. Intoxicating.
But If one of the twelve men stag
gered as he left the laboratory, and in
stead Of reporting to the Senators at
tempted to address the House Of Repre-
sentatives on the need for economy, the
same beer, in theory, would be intoxi-
eating.
The test should be conclusive.
But would it2 Not at all. Those who
believe that beer is intoxicating would
take the position that the twelve sober
drinkers did not represent a cross-sec-
tion of America; that under the cir
cumstances of the test no man would
permit himself to become drunk and
thus demonstrate his inferiority in the
business of handling his liquor" And
If one or more men became drunk, those
who hold that beer is not intoxicating
would take the position that the wob-
blers had made pigs of themselves and
that their intoxication was not due to
the beer, but to their lack of self
restraint.
There would have to be just repre-
sentation of all sides in the proposed
jury of beer drinkers. And If those
representing the vets entered the test
ing room determined at all costs TO re-
main sober, those who represented the
drys would assuredly 60 in the spirit Of
the down-East farmer on his way to
town to get drunk-"and gosh how
hate it."
As interesting as Senator Dill's test
would be, 1t is feared that the ques-
ton of beers intoxicating qualities
would still be left unanswered and re-
main, as 1t Is today, matter Of
opinion.

they saw their profits and then their

Robert Bruce and Ids Scots had
