wants to See More Of Our Fine G Guard.m.U.

To TIE EDITOR OF TEE SUN-.Sfr: Would Il not
be a good plan TO have the various regiments Of
the New York National Guard hold drills, IN turn
on Saturday or sunday afternoons. In Central
Park? This would be OF immense advantage to
the regiments themselves. as Il would permit them
TO indulge In manGuvres on a large scale. which
in the comparatively small area OF an armory can
not he executed. Furthermore. these public drills
would stimulate the members Of the regiments
with an Increased enthusiasm and thereby increase
their interest In their duties The public interest
would also be awakened. and no doubt there would
be a large increase IN membership resulting from
this II could also be arranged to have once a year
on some holiday general turnout and review In
the Park OF all New HOrz's citizen soldiers, where
the people would have chance to see all together
the troops whom they look for protection in times
Of trouble. NEW YORKER.

The Legislature Can stop the Canal
.. Steal without Referendum.


The canal situation is stated with brew
ity and with reasonable accuracy in the
following paragraph from the NeTs-
Press of Poughkeepsie:
There are already let contracss amounting TO
$4,000 900 for the construction OF the barge canal
There are $4,000 900 more In contracts ready TO
be let The State Of New York has thus far been
unable TO sell It's per cent. canal bonds at par,
much TO the embarrassment OF the present Ad
uinistrauon. The most that II can do is 10 cut
down the amount to be paid on contracts during
the ensuing year either 81 500 900 or 900 900 and
% use this for the sinking fund to be set aside
this year under the law for the redemption Of these
bonds. Delay In payment on contracts means
delay on the part Of contractors and probable
dlfncuIy In letting other contracts in future. The
Administration has as yet evolved no plan worthy
Of consideration 70 quicken the sale Of the bonds.
The public hesitates 70 take them At per cent.
and the submission Of a proposition to the people
20 pay more than this is not likely to be met with
much enthusiasm"
Yet il is not exactly true that the most
that can be done. or the best plan that
can be suggested, is contained in the
proposal to whip the devil around the
sinking fund
The State Constitution provides an
other method Of dealing with the whole
question of the barge canal swindle; and
this without any referendum.
We are now pointing out to the in
telligence of Governor HUGHES and the
honest part Of the Legislature at Albany
fact that perhaps has not been gener-
ally considered. Section Of Article VII,
after describing the process of legislation
and reference to the people by which the
barge canal law Of 1908 was passed and
adopted, goes on to say:
The Legislature may at any time. after the sp-
provaI Of such law by the people II debt shall
have been contracted in pursuance thereof, repeal
the sane; and may at any time, bv laU, forbid the
contracting Of any further debt or liability under
such law"
Obligations already contracted under
the law thus nulliied remain valid, of
course; and the provisions Of the law
remain in force just so far as is necessary
to discharge the interest and principal
of the debt already contracted; but with
that exception the power of the Legisla-
ture itself to stop the theft and waste
OF from one hundred TO two hundred and
fifty millions of New York's good money
is at all times absolute.
The responsibility is undivided. Al
though for the initiation OF such scheme
of Graft and Futility as is now fluttering
between hope and doom a referendum
is required. and although no amendment
of the details of the scheme, even to so
small matter as the rate Of interest on
the canal bonds, can be effected without
a similar reference to the people, the
waste can be blocked, the graft de-
feated and the scheme abandoned at
any time, without the ceremony of a
referendum, by means of law passed
by the Senate and the Assembly and
signed by the Governor.
The remedy, therefore, is at all times
ready for fearless Executive to recon-
mend 10 an honest Legislature.

well nigh cosmopolitan, for those
who do not recognize its religious
Significance, appreciate the Christ
mas spirit, which in it's best sense
is altruistic. No holiday, in it's OBJ
servance, comes nearer to touching
the hearts and homes of all the peo-
pie than this, which bears not only
present century hopes and their
realization, but all the traditions Of
zthe Anglo-Saxon race from the dawn
fof their civilization.
Peace on earth, good will to men,
lis broad creed, easily recognized
and fully appreciated, and more cas-
lily when, on occasions like this. it
IS allowed full sway among all men.
The Christmas spirit is infectious;
At gathers in its grasp the young
and the old, the rich and the poor,

GROWTH OF PROHIBITION

The Associated Prohibition press,
news bureau conducted by prohibit
ton advocates in Chicago, sees a
new solid South" in the near fu-
ture-not solidly democratic
South, but a so1idly prohibition
South. That the temperance move
ment has grown wonderfully in the
last few months cannot be denied,
an dthat there is a constantly in
creasing demand for the closer regu-
lation of the saloon wherever 1t is
found is admitted even by those
who are not in favor of the extermi-
nation of the liquor business.
Local conditions have encouraged
the movement in the South, for the
desire of the white people to make
it more difficult for negroes to OBJ
tain strong drink undoubtedly caus-
ed the wave which has resulted in
placing the cid" upon Georgia,
Alabama and Oklahoma. Local OPP
tion has been extended in other
Southern states until it is effective
in a majority of the counties and
the campaign against drunkenness
is indeed thing to be reckoned
with.
The liquor interests, realizing the
growth of sentiment against the sa-
loon, are wisely advocating strict
regulation. Thousands of good peo-
pie regard drinking as a matter of
personal privilege and do not advo-
cate general prohibition laws, yet
many of these thousands see the
need of rigid rules to govern the
traffic. The saloon, the brewery
and the distillery should have no
place in American politics Their
owners must realize that their right
to exist at all hangs by an exceed
ingly slender thread and that unless
the character of the business is i'm
proved and the pernieious activity
of the liquor forces stopped the peo-
pie will go to further extremes than
have been adopted up to this time.

Senator BraZeau was born in Grand
Rapids, Wood county, March II, 1878,
and received his early education in the
Grand Rapids schools, graduating
from the high school and teaching for
a year before entering the university
with the class of 1896. During his
course he taught in the Grand Rapids
High school and was graduated in
1897. He taught another year and
was graduated from the law course OF
the university in 1900. During his
university course he made a repu-
tation as debater and was member
of one of the joint debate teams. He
was Theta Delta Chi and was also
member of one of the law fraternities.
Entering the law office of B. r. Cog
gins, Grand Rapids, one of the lead
ing lawyers of the state, he was ad-
mitted to partnership in couple Of
years and is now considered one of the
brightest young lawyers in central
Wisconsin. He was district attorney
of Wood county from 1908 to 1907; he
is married and has family.
All that the senator will say in re-
gard to his stand on the Hatten matter
is that he refused to be swerved from
his own ideas of right. Milwaukee
