14 COCKRAN BLAMES DRY LAW FOR MOBS N. Y. Representative Says Regulation Has “Gone Mad,” Replying to Upshaw. “Fanaticism and regulation gone mad,” is the way Representative W. Bourke Cockran of New York, demo- erat, characterized the prohibition statute, clalming that “prohibition has falled to prohibit,” in a speech in the House late yesterday. If the President should call in the prohibition enforce- ment work all the forces used after the civil war to enforce the four- teenth and fifteenth amendments, he declared, the result would still be the same— a dead letter in many states. Representative Cockran was speak- ing in direct reply to charges made by Representative Upshaw of Geor- gla, that high officials of the gov- @mment are drinking liquors. 1 be permitted to Judge for me?’ he asked. t as well come along vum amendment_regula and how long leep.

I “As moon ag we get the people of this country not only to vote for pro- hibition, but to stop drinking, we will then shake the anti-prohibition strongholds of the world,” declared Willlam Jennings Bryan in an addre before the Woman's Christian Tem perance Union of the District of Co- lumbia in the First Congregational Church yesterday. “It Is a_eplendid coincidence that woman suffrage and prohibition came about the same time, he added, and sald the members of the W.

For over 40 years the Associated Charities has been trying to prevent, as well as relieve, distress in the District of Columbia. For the past 25 years the Citizens’ Relief Association has joined hands with it. Umtedly, without respect to race or creed, these family service organizations have been endeavoring to bring hope and cheer to families overborne by misfortune. More and more the emphasis has been placed upon giv- ing the children in these families the same opportuni- ties for education, good health and preparation for citizenship enjoyed by their more fortunate fellows. Last year there were 3,032 children in the 1,346 families under our care. Last year 5,575 different contributors supported this work in its various branches. Will not those of this number who have not renewed their gifts do so now? Will not others who have never joined in this community work lend their aid? The need is urgent. Contributions may be designated for one or both of thcjsouciles and sent to Howard S, Reemdc, treas- urer, 'Joirit Finance Commi o Serv e e ttee, Social Service House. (Signed) MILTON E.
