Sheppard Uses $4,772 More
In Time With Dry Talk
Senator Delivers His
Usual EuIogy Of
Dead Dry Law

Old Man Prohibition may be
deader than a picked herring, but
just the same he cost Uncle Sam
a tidy little sum of $4,772.23 to-
day. '.-,'',7 A' ~'~
It happened that today is or
would have been the fourteenth
birthday of prohibition, and Sen
ator Morris Sheppard, who faith
cred and mothered the 10,OOO-ml-
lion-dollar baby, observed the day
telling all the other Senators and
a packed gallery what a fine baby
he brought into these United
States.
He spoke oratorically at great
length in his Texas drawl, eulogiz-
ing his brain child which grew to
be a very old man, only to die
an ignominious death under Presl-
dent Roosevelt's New Deal.
Birthday Is Costly
But probably the Senator who
halls from little Texarkana did
not realize that the taxpayers of
the nation must pay nearly $4,000
for the birthday party for his baby
who was disposed of by the will
of the voting public of the country.
Doubtless the Senator, too, was
unmindful of the fact that the
Lone Star State which he repre-
sents voted for repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment by an
overwhelming majority. It also
is indicative that the people Of
the District, although they are
denied the right to vote, wanted
nothing to do with Mr.. Prohibi-
ton. But Senator Sheppard,
who dried up the District sew
eral years before national pro-
hibition, has proudly boasted:

to make prohibition an issue
in a campaign. Now that we

TODAY
Texas Senator's Usual Tribute
to Dry Law Helps Delay
Consideration of Plan
Read 8-COLunen Edi-
tOriaI on the Editorial
Page Today.

Senate consideration Of the
District liquor bill was delayed
today as Senator Morris Sheppard
CD of Texas, father of the ma
tional prohibition law and father
of the act which dried up the Dis
trict of Columbia, observed what
would have been the fourteenth
anniversary of the dry law.
This delay, plus speeches to the
Senate on the Louisiana election
case, apparently will postpone
passage of the District bill until
some time tomorrow.
Liquor Bill Called Up
The liquor bill, calling for the
private license system for sale OF
liquor here, was called up as soon
as the Senate convened at noon,
but Senator Sheppard immediate
lv launched into his annual birth
day" speech.
When Senator Sheppard con-
cluded, Senator Tom Connauy
D.) of Texas, submitted his
report on the Louisina election
case, which was to consume an
hour, after which Senator John
H. Overton (D) of Louisiana,
was to address the Senate.
Immediately thereafter debate
will begin on the District liquor
bill, with passage Of the license
system virtually assured.
Bride to Attend Debate
Senator William H. King D0
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, obtained per-
mission from the Senate to allow
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride to sit on the floor during
debate.
Bride will occupy a seat next
to Senator Robert R. Reynolds
CD of North Carolina, a men,
ber of the District Committee,
who is in charge Of the bill.
Representative Mary T. Norton
(D.) of New Jersey, chairman
of the House District Committee,
who steered the bill through the
House under great pressure, was
on the floor as soon as the
Senate convened.
AS far as could be learned, the
private license system will win
the favor of the Senate by a fair
margin, and if this prevails 1t Is
expected the measure will become
law by about Thursday.
Concurrence Expected

Committee has amended the bill

The report was unanimous. The
committee credited Senator Huey

him credit for electing Overton,

in being exonerated from any

The committee, however, flayed
Louisiana politics in general. The
report said:

organizations there play the
political game according to the
standards that the result is the

Father Ryan Indorses
Liquor Licensing

Since bona fide hotels, restaurants and clubs the

may obtain drink think passage of the private
licensing system by the Senate would put the disribu
on of liquor in the hands Of reputable business men,
which is much preferable to the Government dspensary
system.
do not think it is good thing for the Government
to go into the liquor business. That is thing that
should be kept clean of Government manipulation The
private licensing system, which strongly advocate for
the District of Columbia will forbid the return of the
saloon and at the time allow the individual to
make a living in a legitimate business.
