REED, BORAH
IN DEBATE ON
PROHIBITION
Senate Galleries Are
Thronged As Famed
Orators Assail And
Defend Law

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.|PH
Those who hoped that the sew
tieth congress would not end
without a debate between those
two mighty orators. Reed of Mis-
souri,. and Borah Of Idaho. have
had their wish. The two gave the
controversial subject of prohibition
an airing yesterday before a gal
lery that took all the seats and the
standing room.
The anti-climax came after the
speeches had ended. Senator Reed
threatened Saturday to make pub
lie a list of senator's and repre-
sentatives who vote dry and drink
wet" but yesterday he assured his
hearers he was joking. All the
members Of the house did not know
OF this assurance and someone last
night spread the news at the cap
itol that the names OF certain rep
~resentatives we're on the list that
the Missouri senator intended to
give out. There were many tele-
phone calls and a number Of hur-
ried visits 10 Reeds office before
those concerned learned that no
list was TO be issued.
Reed is a democrat and a wet.
Borah Is a republican and a dry.
Discussion on the Jones bill to in
crease penalties for liquor law vio-
lations laid the setting for the
clash.
Reed argued that control of
liquor should fall to the states.
Borah commended that prohibition
was a part Of the constitution and
should be observed. Around these
central themes the speakers brought
wit. sarcasm and logic into play.
The Missourian began by de-
scribing the prohibition laws as a
'hideous crime" He declared that
the prohibition law was an unjust
law and that there had followed in
its train corruption and debase-
ment.
Borah in his reply TO Reed said
that there had been corruption and
violations of the law.
Il know that" he declared. Il
call the senator's attention TO the
fact. however. that there never has
been a law placed upon the statute
books OF any civilized nation on
earth with reference TO liquor that
the LIQUOR forces did not undertake
to break 1t down. to violate 1t. TO
undermine II. TO corrupt the Off
cials. IL Is the history OF liquor
legislation from the beginning I'M
til this hour"
Borah termed those who have adj
vocated that il Is every mans right
to observe those laws which he
cares TO observe as traitors and he
said that under the system Of state
control that the dry states had TO
mainain an army or officers TO pro-
tect themselves from liquor from
wet states.
