Ten to Five

1t is evident that the coming cam

at least have the support of ten of
our fifteen able Fulton county papers
possibly a larger number. That means
victory for county option.-Fulton
County Democrat.
The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1906-03-02

The people of Missouri have decreed,
through the Legislature, that the dram
shop is a special menace to peace and
good order on Sunday, and have for
hidden them to operate on that day.
The effect of the enforcement of this
law in the large cities of Missouri, is
reducing crime by some forty per cent,
as shown by the statistics, demon
strates that the action of the Legisla-
ture in passing this statute was not
without wisdom.
However that may be, it is the law,
and any violation Of it is lawlessness
This is not even a prohibition law, for
forbidding dramshop to sell intoxi-
cants on Sunday no more requires a
man to totally abstain than the law
prohibiting the sale of clothing on Sun
day demands that man go naked.
If this law causes anyone any incon-
venience it is matter to be regretted,
but it cannot be helped. I am told that
the Germans, as rule, are opposed to
the enforcement of this law. This, I
believe, is mistake. I have a German
name and German blood in my veins,
and am proud of it. There are no more
law-abiding people anywhere than they
are.
They may not like the law; they may
be in favor of It's repeal; but they,
being good citizens, are in favor of OBJ
serving the law because it is the law,
for they are not lawless.
1 observe you are a workingman and
a union man. Some of the best support
I have had in the enforcement of this
law has come from union labor. Eight
hours a day and six days a week are
among the cardinal teachings of organ
lied labor.
The laboring man should be the last
to stand against the enforcement of
law. All he has to protect him is the
law. A man of wealth can secure what
he wants through the magic of gold,
but the laboring man must depend on
his ballot and the laws that are made in
accordance with his ballot.
Union labor secured the passage
through the Missouri legislature of the

Governor Folks Open Letter
10 the Men Who Protest Against the
Liquor Laws of Missouri


Dear Sir: I have the honor to &C
knowledge the receipt of your favor
protesting against the enforcement of
the law requiring dramshops to close
on Sunday. Any man has the privilege
of urging the repeal of any law through
the law-making body, but no man has
the right to demand of an executive
official that he violate his oath of Office
1t would be just as proper for me not
to have the gambling laws or the lar
ceny statutes enforced as to order that
no attention be paid to the dramshop
law. 1t is my sworn duty to execute
the laws, and if every man, woman and
child in the state were to protest
against the dramshop law, I would still
enforce it where I had the power to do
SO, because it would be my duty.
But the majority of the people of
this state want the law enforced. Were
this not so, they would not have en-
acted the law, for laws are put upon
the statute books for some purpose. AS
governor I must either stand for the
law or against the law; 1 must either
observe the oath I have taken or break
it.
And I say to you, as long as I am
governor I am going to do my best to
uphold the law and to keep my official
oath inviolate. No reasonable man
could expect anything else of an exec
utive official
You say this law ought not to be
enforced because it is an infringement
of the natural rights of the citizens of
the state No one has a natural right
to keep dramshop open on Sunday, or
any other day of the week.
They exist not at all as a matter of
right, but by tolerance. 1t is a privi-
lege that the state can give or take
away as she pleases. In this state
dramshops are permitted six days in
the week, but on Sunday they are out
lawed.
The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1906-03-02

eight-hour law Many of those who
oppose this law are filing the same kind
of protests against it's enforcement that
you do against the dramshop law
I am demanding that the eight-hour
law be observed, and that those who
fail to do so be prosecuted under the
law If 1 do not enforce the Sunday
dramshop law, why should 1 enforce
the eight-hour law, or any other law,
for that matter?
1t is significant that many objections
coming to me against the Sunday law
take the form not only of a protest
against the law in favor of lawlessness,
but in large measure they attack the
institution of the Sabbath itself
l am liberal in my views, and believe
in allowing each citizen the largest
amount of freedom consistent with
good government, but I am in favor of
the Christian Sabbath, and will not give
my aid to it's being entirely secularized.
There have been Sunday laws in
every civilized nation of the world
since the days of Constantine, nearly
1000 years ago. Only once during this
period has any nation been without a
law distinguishing Sunday from other
days; that was during the revolution in
France, when God and Sunday were
abolished by law.
The morals of the people degener-
ated so rapidly and debauchery in
creased at such an alarming rate, that
one of the first acts of Napoleon when
he came into power was to restore the
Sabbath.
The time in which there was no Sun
day in France is known to this day as
the "Reign of Terror" No American
state will likely emulate the example of
the revolutionists of France.
I write you thus at length because
have received many hundreds of postal
cards printed like yours, and I take this
means of answering through you the
others, as a separate letter to each
would be impracticable.
1 say now, once for all, as long as
the dramshop law is the law, and l
have power to enforce it, it is going to
be enforced. Petitions against its en-
forcement will have no more effect than
requests for me to violate my official
oath in some other respects.
If the law is not to the liking of the
majority, the majority can change it
through the legislature, but the execu-
tive cannot ignore it as long as it re-
mains on the statute books, without
being false to his trust. Very truly,
Joseph w. Folk,
Governor.

WadsWorth Gets rs Out of 104 Votes
for Speaker in the Caucus.


Albany, n Y, Jan. 4. - James w
Wadsworth, Jr., of Livinston county,
son of Congressman James w. Wads-
worth of the Thirty-fourth congress
sional district, and son-in-law of the
late John Hay, secretary of state, was
nominated last night by the Republic
an assembly caucus for speaker of the
assembly and will be elected to that
office to-day when the assembly con
venes. His Democratic opponent will
be George NJ. Palmer OF Schoharie,
who for many years has been minor
ity leader of the assembly floor.
Mr.. Wadsworth had Is out of 104
votes cast in the caucus, Edwin A.
Merritt, Jr., of ST. Lawrence, receiv-
ing IA and j. NJ. Wainwright of West
chester, Is. The entire strength of
the Republican side in the new assem-
bly,, 107 in all, was present, but none
of the three candidates voted
The vote was taken by open roll
call, and there was no attempt to Sc
cure a secret ballot as had been eX-
pected.
This result brings to close one Of
the most remarkable speakership
campaigns of recent years, character
lied by marked factional bitterness,
and some unusual features. Mr. Wads-
worth was not among the candidates
originally in the field, but was pro
posed by Gov Higgins in a formal
statement and in addition to the sup
port of the governor and his friends,
was regarded as having the approval
of President Roosevelt.
Mr. Merritt had the backing of State
Chairman B. B. Odell, Jr., and his
friends in the state organization, who
fought with determination, for his
election. or failing in that, for the
defeat of Mr. Wadsworth.
After learning the result of the eau
Gus Gov Higgins said:
Il am neither disappointed nor sur
prised. The voice of the people and
of the press has been heard here, and
the representatives Of the people III
the assembly have, in my opinion, fol
lowed the sentiment expressed"
II have no comment to make on the
action of the Republican caucus" said
Former Gov Odell last night, except
to say that ! am grateful for the 20
votes. | am not at all disheartened
by the result"

italian Merchant Is Found Under His
Store With His Throat Cut.
New York, Jan. 3.-Giuseppi Rio
cObono was murdered in the cellar be-
meath his own store in East Thir-
teenth street yesterday. His body was
found lying face upward with the
blade of razor, broken in two pieces,
crossed on his breast. His left hand
had been half cut off at the wrist and
his throat was cut. The cellar was
used by Riccobono as a sleeping room.
The police say that band of Italians
killed Riccobono In revenge because
he refused to tell them what he knew
about the murder recently of an Ital-
ian known as Pasgoale ROccaO. The
slayers of this man are supposed to be
in Philadelphia, where the police are
looking for them. RiccObono told the
New York police what he knew Of
the case, adding also that he was in
fear for bis life. The police arrested
on suspicion five Italians whom they
found in the cellar an hour after the
murder viewing the body.

Pittsburg, Jan. 3.-Buying political
man, opening up costly headquarters
In each ward, trying to buy news
paper for $1,200,000, is how a syndi-
cate of millionaire politicians is bull
ing the mayoralty game in Pittsburg.
Their determination to elect A. M.
Jenkinson, an aristocratic manufac-
turer, was made apparent yesterday
when the money barrel of the pluto
Gratis was tapped in the principal
headquarters. Workers who have
been hustling for w. A. Magee for
mayor expressed a change OF senti-
ment. They also exposed yellow
backed bills of big denominations.
The nabob crowd tried to buy up the
Pittsburg Leader and offered fabu-
lous price. This paper has opposed
the millionaire crowd politically
There is method in the millionaire
political game and there is d motive
amounting to about $17,000,000. That
is estimated to be the value of fran
chises for elevated and underground
railways, for improvements the Penn
sylvania requires which will necessi-
tate the use of principal streets, for
extension of franchise granting mo-
nopolies to corporations which the
syndicate control.
The millionaire crowd believes 1t can
secure these concessions if it elects a
mayor and new council. 1t was stated
yesterday that half million dollars
has been raised for the campaign and
that every cent of it will be spent II
necessary.
