Mr. Regan took up tax-dodging as a crime only little- more honorable"ahd ; only - a little less destructive of national morals than 5 murder. He gave a powerful 1 presentation of the tax side of prohibition: last night, especially showing that the claim that the prohibition laws1 are re sponsible for -even the remotest part of the tax Increase ; any where is fallacious. . Lawyer Speaks Today Today, Jamea H. Woertendyke, a Chicago lawyer and a notable orator Is to speak on the legal aspects of prohibition. He is highly recommended by national men like W. J. Bryan, as an au thoritative speaker. The economic and social value of the prohibitory , laws, the man- Tier of making them effective, the enlistment of more honest men to help enforce the laws as other- laws are enforced, are some of be parts of his ad dresses. The Regan lectures have drawn large crowds and are of a character that stamp the move- ment with the mark of genius and almost of Inspiration.

Bourke Cockran, conceded to have been one of the most elo quent orators who ever t spoke from the floor of congress.

Last night he delivered a vigorous denunciation of the farm credits legislation pending in the house and later he celebrated his C9th birthday anniversary with an old fashioned birthday party, likened by those who attended the gatherings of childhood days. Apparently In the hest ; of health Mr, Cockran repeatedly re marked to those about him that he "never had felt better." "After his guests had departed and while he was chatting with Mrs. Cock ran, he was stricken with a head ache and soon lapsed into uncon-' sciousness.

At his last public address de livered last night discussing the farm credits bill Mr. Cockran pro nounced his "philosophy as. the needs of the time. "God knows," he said, Vwheth er. the world will succeed In free ing Itself from the calamities that are multiplying around it and the dangers that are constantly in creasing In its pathway.3 But If it is to escape, it can be only one way-4-and that is by the employ ment of every pair of human hands with active Industry rin the soil or some product of the soil.
