FAVOR SOCIALISM
"l believe In Doing Something to Bet 4
ter Things Today, Not Tomorrow"
He Told COMMITTEES.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

washington, Sept. 11-Continuins
his story Of the American Federation
OF Labor's political and legislative ac-
tivities today before the lobby com
mittee, Samuel Gompers said he was
opposed to socialism. and that since
the 1910 congressional campaign, the
organization's political work had been
sporadic.
Il believe in doing someting to bet
ter things today-not tomorrow said
the federation's president.
Gompers testified that the final de-
termination on policy of opposition
or support by the federation toward
congressional candidates was made by
himself, Vice. President James O'Con-
mel and Secretary Frank Morrison.
In few cases, he said, did that COM
mittee go further than furnish a
record OF votes by the candidates on
bills affecting labor Exceptions were
made where men showed a particular
hostility to such measures or a par
ticular friendliness. Active participa-
tion in a campaign, he said was taken
only when it was requested from
labor workers in a district.
Gompers denied that he had prom
ised to swing ''the labor vote of more
than 100000 to any one in the Ea-
tional campaign of 1908. He said he
couldn't and wouldn't attempt to de-
liver that vote.

Kingston, N. Y, Sept. 11.-Justice
Hasbrouck. of the state supreme court
today decided that Governor Sulzer
was regularly impeached and while
awaiting impeachment trial was di-
vested of the right to exercise his exec
utive functions including the power to
pardon.
The question Of the legality of Sui
GERS iznpeachnneaE came before Justice
HasbrolfeIx in connection with habeaS
corpus proceedings brought to compel
the New York city authorities to honor
Governor Suffers pardon Of Joseph G..
Robin, the banker convict. He decided
that Robins pardon was invalid.
quashed the writ and sent Robin back
to prison.
Attorneys representing Sulzer and
Robin had argued that the impeach-
nent was illegal because voted by the
assembly at a special session which
was not called expressly to decide that
question. The court refused to sustain
this contention. The decision upheld
the argument of the New York cor
poration counsel who maintained that
the assembly when it impeached acted
in a judicial and not a legislative ca
pacity and was properly in session.
WAS FIRST RULING.
The assembly voted 20 impeach Gov
ernor Sulzer August Is. Although 1t
was reported Immediately that the
governor would seek to overuurn the
assembly's action by recourse to the
courts. Justice Hasbrouck's decision
today was the first ruling made by any
court on the legality OF the fmpeach-
ment.
Arguments on the validity OF the
writ Of habeas corpus were heard here
Monday The questions raised were.
first, whether Governor Sulzer was i'm
peached, and, second, whether he was
Invested of his powers pending trial.

THE subject of impeachment" says
Judge Hasbrouch, like the power of a
legislative body to punish for contempt,

Matters in General Dis

was made for the suppression Of the
'knocker,"' or the person who is con-
tinually pulling against the efforts OF
the association in its endeavor to bring
about an Improvement in all lines.
G. e. Dobson, president Of the assor
ciation, called attention to the fact
that the ferry at Lillian, In Baldwin
county, was closed a short time ago
simply because the commit issloners OF
this county have failed to open a road
leading to the ferry or to condemn a
small stretch of land which would en-
able the farmers Of Baldwin to bring
their produce to Pensacola and also
furnish a means by which a large num-
ber Of people could reach here to do
their buying President Dobson said
the association was also in favor OF
-bJildinR- a -inr.idea- at "a -noint 1forr1s -
the abandoned ferry. but said this was
a matter that could be taken up afuer
q road leading to the ferry had been
secured. He said the people OF this
county should unite in a demand on
the commissioners to open a road to
the ferry or condemn such land as
necessary.
President Dobson suggested that
some steps be taken 20 have the Louis
Vile & Nashville adopt a schedule that
would permit passengers from Fiona
ton and intermediate points south to
reach Pensacola about o'clock in the
morning and allow them to return
home at a seasonaible bed time. instead
of having to remain in Pensacola until
1920 at night in the event they miss
ed the north-bound train leaving at
noon.
The chances for securing a steam
ship line between Tampa and Havana,
Mr.. Dobson said, are good. lie also
said that the prospects Of securing a
canning factory, with which will also
be operated creamery, are excellent.
THE NAVY YARD.
President Dobson called on the mem
bers and others to help in getting the
navy yard opened by writing TO the
that the opening of the navy yard
would not only be benefit 70 Pensa-
cola from the fact that It would create
r large monthly payroll, but that II
would give O. stimulus to other Indus
tries and would result in the establish
ment of manufactures. The pay roll.
he said, If the yard is opened in ac-
cordance with the report Of the navy
board would be 100000 a month, II
not more He said that before the
yard was closed by the former secre-
Lary Of the navy the pay roll often
reached $4,000 per month. He said
that an excellent class OF people would
be brought here when the yard Is
opened, from the fact that more high
priced mechanics with families would
ocate here.

CLEAN JOURNALISM

Senator Works of California has
recently distributed copy of his speech
in the Senate on his bill making it un-
lawful 20 publish reports of crimes and
accidents in the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Works, in the conclusion of his
speech, admitted the f~utility of his pro
posed statute, by ~conceding that the
evils of which he complains cannot be
overcome by law. But while one may
well deny the desirability of Mr.. Works
main proposition, many of his criticisms
upon the modern newspaper are fair
Fol instance, in deploing unwarrant,
ed intrusion in private life, he refers to
the dissertation of funerals By persistent
efforts of newspaperme Il to get picturers

concedc that when people are struggling
with bereavement, remorseless kodak
hends might well leave them free to
fight their own inner battles.
The queer thing is that so many re.
spectacle people will buy newspapers
that sanction such coarse appearances.
While the average man deplores intru,
sion into his WI affairs, he seems tc
want the newspapers TO iutrude into the
affairs of his neighbors.
There is a very large section of the
public that resents scandal, i~ntrusiv,
gossip. and revolving details of crime
