The Governor Sayeth Not

Whatever GOV. Ferris may have
said in the message which he deliv-
cred before the state legislature yes
terday was quite overshadoNed by
what he did not say His omission
OF any reference TO what is certainly
the paramount reform question before
the country today--the liquor traffic-
is receiving more attention than any
positive suggestion which he saw Mt
to incorporate in his second inaugural
address
IL is unfortunate. but the public
will think back TO the last campaign
when Gov Ferris was supported by
the Royal Ark. the Wayne county sa-
loon organization, and when his pic
ture coupled with the order Vote for
Ferris Safety First was hung In
every bar room in the city OF Detroit.
Whether the governor deserves the
verdict or not, IL is quite certain that
he brought II upon himself Ii he be-
lieyed that no liquor legislation was
necessary during this session, IL he
believed that the question which Is
agitating the entire country has no
room among the subjects which are
TO be discussed by the legislators. he
should have at least said so openly.
The liquor question cannot be ignored
today. II is too big, too vital and dis
cnssion of IL has been carried too far
for such course TO prove safe for
any esman-Lansing State Jour
nal.
