CHURCH COUNCIL’S
DRY REPORT HIT
Officials of M. E. and United
Brethern Bodies Blame
It far “Confusion.”
By tho AisocUted Frees.
The recent report on prohibition by
the research department of the Fed.
eral Council of Churches Is attacked
as “an Inexcusable betrayal of many
church bodies.” In a statement Issued
by high officials of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, Methodist Episco
pal Church South, the Methodist
Protestant Church and the United
Brethren Church.
The statement said the “present
confusion seems to be due in large
part” to the federal council's report. 1
adding; “We repudiate it as unscien
tific in its methods, unwarranted and
misleading in its conclusions, a prod
uct of provincialism, a striking ex
ample of the domination of local Sur
roundings and special conditions.”
Attached to the statement were the
signatures of Bishop James Cannon,
Jr., chairman of the Commission on
Temperance and Social Service of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South;
Bishop William P. McDowell, presi
dent. and Dr. Clarence True Wilson,
secretary of the board of temperance,
prohibiiion and public morals of the
Methodist Episcopal Church; Bishop
\V. M. Bell of the United Brethren
Church and Dr. Thomas H. Lewis,
president of the general conference of
tho .Methodist Protestant Church.
Voluntary Organization.
'“The report more recently issued
as of and from the Church Temper
ance Society of the Protestant Epis
copal Church by Dr. Empringham has
served only to reveal that the Church
Temperance Society is a voluntary
organization, stated by a bishop of
that church to be ‘semi-moribund,'
that it does not represent the Eplsco
l>ul Church and that, on the contrary,
tho clergy and laity of that church
are In favor of the maintenance of
the prohibition law and the suprem
acy of the United States authority
over all anti-social Interests iu every
part of the country." the statement
said.
"There has been no change in the
fidelity to the prohibition law of the
churches which we represent. That
law Is. in the words of the President
of the United States, 'a salutary law.’
The liquor traffic Is prohibited solely
upon the grounds of its evil effect
upon society. The alleged attitude of
Christ or- of Paul toward the use of
wine in, the social condition of that
day does not justify the claim that
they would approve or even tolerate
the covetous, body and soul destroy
ing liquor traffic of modern times
any more than the paying by Christ
of tribute money to the Roman op
pressors of the Jewish people can be
cited as justifying the oppression of
small by large nations today, or than
the sending back by Paul of the
Christian slave. Onesimus. to re
newed service of his Christian mas
ter, Philemon, can be cited as Justi
fying the selling of men as chattels
in 1926.
Benefits Are Innumerable.
“The beneficent results of the pro
hibition law are manifest and in
numerable. Upon it we have built
a new prosperity which has raised
the entire standard of living of the
common people, improved the diet of
The poor, housed the houseless,
clothed the naked, filled our schools
to overflowing, increased the savings
which must serve as the instrument
of enterprise and development, low
ered the death rate and advanced the
moral and religious Interest of the
generation.
“There is no apparent change in
flic sentiment of the people as a
whole toward this law. Wherever
the issue has been squarely drawn
since national prohibition has been
adopted, outside of the territory sur
rounding New York City, the people
have registered their approval of the
law.
“We appeal to the people not to he
deceived by the plea for so-called
'modification.* Modification means
nothing less than destruction of the
prohibition law. It means tho return
of the liquor traffic, which was 9“
per cent a beer traffic. It means the
return of the saloons. 85 tier cent of
which were under brewery control,
or the establishment of a worse dis
tributing agency. Wine and beer
are and have been intoxicating since
the dawn of history.
Church Responsibility.
“There has never been any purpose
on the part of the churches to ignore
the necessity of earnest and compre
hensive consideration of prohibition
enforcement. Prohibition organiza
tion should lie effected with tho sole
purpose of enforcing the prohibition
law. The appointment, at the in
stance of wet Senators and Repre
sentatives. of wet men to enforce a
dry law is dishonest and disastrous.
The ehurrh.ps protest the incumbency
of men so appointed. The policy of
'decentralization.' subjecting appoin
tees to local political influences * * •
is a questionable policy. The time
lias come when Christian people must
insist that government be a unitV
in support of the prohibition law. that
no wet man be appointed as United
States marshal, commissioner, district
attorney or judge to betray the will
of the people.
"We should insist upon the dis
•ontlnuanee of dishonest and camou
flaged propaganda, using the medium
of the stage, the humorous press,
syndicated columns and similar
cha nneis.
"There must he a clearer under
standing of the division between en
toreement duties of the State and
municipalities on the oil" hard and
of the Nation on the other. Local
enforcement by local officials is neces
sail' and should be insisted upon
in every part of the Nation.
“Continuation and extension of the
educational process in the school, the
home and the church is the para
mount need of the hour. This duty
falls largely upon the church, and
upon its successful discharge depends
the prestige of the law and the safety
of the Nation."

This opinion is expressed by M.

which last night conducted a hair
dressing competition in London.
"Already.” declared Munganurn,

over their bobs while their "hair is

He added that women must ex

RHODE ISLAND AVE.
REZONING PROPOSED
Project of Openiafg Street to Busi
ness Brought Up at Citizen
Meeting.
Feeling that Rhode Island Avenue
Is vapidly becoming ono of the
principal boulevards of the city, sev
eral of the members of the lowa Cir
cle Citizens’ Association, at a meeting
in the Northmlnster church last night,
urged that the avenue from Seventh
to Thirteenth street be re-zoned into
a first commercial district. Other
members however vigorously opposed
this measure on the ground that this
section is one of the oldest residential
districts in the city and should be
preserved as such. No definite action
was taken on the matter.
A resoultlon indorsing a circular
petition drawn up by the committee
on lawns and gardens, urging all
residents in the territory coming
under the jurisdiction of the associa
tion to take steps to beautify their
lawns was passed.
Mrs. Ella M. Thompson, president
of the association, presided.
NOTED CIRCUS MAN DIES.
Orrin Hollis Classed Among Great
est of Bareback Riders.
TOLEDO, Ohio, February 24 OP).—
Orrin Hollis, 74, for nearly half a
century one of the greatest circus
bareback riders of the world, died at
a hospital here yesterday.
Hollis was the last of what circus
people declare was the greatest riding
team of all lime —Showles. Fish, Se
bustlan. Stlckney and Hollis. He (vas
a feature with Barnum * Bailey’s
show for more than 25 years.
While Orrin Hollis lay on his death
bed here, his son, also a bareback
rider, stayed in Detroit, refusing to
break a professional engagement, even
in death—an unwritten law of the per
former’s code.

Safety of
Investment
Your first thought, in
making an investment, is
of safety.
There is no investment,
we remind you, safer than
a fine, perfect diamond.
Yet the truth is that
there is no investment you
can make in which the
average buyer can rely so
little on his own judgment
as the purchase of a dia
mond.
Diamond terms, glibly
used, may be very mislead
ing.

For diamond values are
not established on the basis
of a single quality of color
or cut or brilliancy.
It takes many qualities,
combined, to win the ap
proval of the eye of the ex
pert handler of diamonds.
And the average person
lacks knowledge of the
finer distinctions of dia
mond values.
R. Harris & Company,
howevef, have been mer
chandising diamonds for
more than half a century.
Our diamond counsel is
competent and fully ade
quate to your protection.
We restrict our recom
mendations, moreover, to
fine, perfect diamonds.
We put over fifty years
of experience at your serv
ice when you come to us to
