The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-07-02

Moral Photograph the Capital the Empire State Under the
Eyes of New York's Much Praised Governor

By the terms of Article 1O Section l of the
Constitution of the state of New York, the
governor is empowered to remove a sheriff who
fails to perform the duties of his office In this
state the sheriff is the chief peace officer Of
every county, charged with the enforcement of
the law and with the preservation Of order, and
it is beyond question his duty to see that the
saloons obey the laws of the state The neg
gence of chief of police of any other mu
picipal official in wise absolves the sheriff.
He is bound by oath and by duty to enforce the
states law.
Further, there is in New York state a system
for the "control' of the liquor traffic peculiar to
this state. For the administration of the states
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-07-02

liquor laws, beside the regular machinery Of the
state government, there has been created an
excise department under the control of state
commissioner of excise who is amply clothed by
law with power for the enforcement of the
statutes of the state in the matter of liquor sell
ing This commissioner is the appointee of the
governor While the law creating the office does
not specifically provide for his removal by the
governor in event of failure to faithfully per-
form the duties of his office, no familiar with
political usage for a moment doubts the ability
Of the governor to control the conduct of the
commissioner.
With these facts in mind | want to cite to the
readers of The National Prohibitionst conditions
in this city as proof of the fact that Republican
reform" not only does not opposition
to the legalized liquor traffic, but does not even
mean the enforcement of the so-called regulativc
laws which are supposed to curtail and limit the
ravages of the traffic.
Until last week | had not been in Albany for
many months and | had no definite information

lawbreaking, which | described to the Prohibi-

ALBANY, N. Y, June 21-(Staff Correspond
ence)-Let me begin this somewhat difficult arti
Gle with a frank avowal of high appreciation
of the work that has been done in the state Of
New York by Governor Hughes. The man has
surprised both his friends and his enemies.
Nominated by the Republican party, under COM
pulsion, because the corrupt bosses were per-
fectly that they could not elect any other
man, he has utterly refused to be "led by the
nose" and has stood for honest government and
public decency more bravely than any other
governor Of the state of New York within my
memory.
The people of the state of New York appreciate
him and are almost willing, because of the really

valiant fight that he has made, to overlook his
serious sins of omission which it is the purpose
of this article to point out Governor Hughes
chief fight has been against the gamblers, partic-
ulary the race track gamblers who were en-
trenched in a vicious and unconstitutional law
and against whom he has succeeded in getting
what his friends believe will be adequate legs
lation.
But it is the purpose of this article to point
out that, while Governor Hughes has been fight
ing the gamblers, a greater evil than gambling
has hourished in this state, and, so far from
seeking legislation against it, Governor Hughes
has not even lifted his hand to enforce the
legislation that already exists.
In other words, with Republican reform
governor in power the liquor traffic is ON
nipotent, as defiant of law as ever, in the great
Empire State of New York
Let begin by defining very carefully the
powers and responsibility of the governor of the
state of New York for the awbreaking of the
saloon, for it is upon that, and not upon the
failure of the governor to attempt to secure Pro-
hibition that | wish to lay emphasis.

PROHIBITION PARTY
WORKERS NOTES

Your suggestions might be Oalnable in this
column. Try 1T!
All party organization is political machinery.
Its object and legitimate product is votes. If
your local party machine does not win votes, It
is not doing the work for which it was originally
planned and needs repairs.
AS humanity is actuated by desire for achieve
ment emphasis very properly should be laid upon
the possibilities of party success as shown by the
election of Prohibition party officials in
the various parts of the country len chances to
one your next-door neighbor does not know that
the Prohibitionists ever elected anyone.
Even the Probihitionist has no special right to
linger the glorious past of his party. His
opportunities are before him, not behind him,
and he should take advantage of every legitimate
occasion to convince men that the Prohibition
party is not simply bit Of glorious history, but
a working plan-the only feasible way to
cessfully establish Prohibition a governmental
policy.
To kill the liquor traffic we must fight it where
it is. We cannot kill the liquor traffic at the
prayer meeting-it isn't there. The liquor traffic
is in politics, and to defeat it in your precinct you
must win at least plurality of the voters in your
-precinct to the Prohibition party. Keep your
mind upon the fact that, no matter how great
your interest in the national phases of the fight,
precinct
Moral considerations appeal with much force
to men outside as inside the church, and such
be appealed to to do right politically because 1t
IS right, with much effect. We need the votes
of all good citizens, whether church members
not, to win on election day. Don't for moment
entertain the notion that you must convert a man
to the orthodox faith before you can get his vote
for the Prohibition party; and don't try to thrust
your religious views, matter how correct or
how dear to you, into political discussions.

splendid illustration of suggestion recently
made in these Notes. The Boston Transcript pub
