Beer Bill Doomed. It Is more than probable that among the tlrst bills Introduced at the forthcoming session of the legislature will be one for the repeal of the "2.75 beer" bill, passed last winter. Senator Elect W. H. Parry of Essex county believes tbe legislature si.ould pass without delay a prohibition enforcement act to check tbe liquor flood in thi state, and be may lutroduee both measures. “There Is apparel tly a disposition In some quarters to have the Incoming legislature dllly dally or pussyfoot the question of a state eniorcement act.*' said Mr. Parry. "To my mind the duty of the legislators. Irrespective ol their views as to tbe icrlt of prohibition. Is plain and one which should not

be dodged.

-nforcement act defining the test of an Intoxicating beverage as one-half of 1 per cent or less. New Jersey has no right to raise tbe percentage above that fixed by Congress, but tbe passage of a luw with the same standard as the Volstead act will make no sale of liquor Illegal which Is now legal.
