such comparison that we prefer TO
save our houses from fire rather than
our babies from disease, or that we

1t is not that we do not appreciate
the luxury of protection from fire in

we do not like the feeling of safety
against attacks by ruffians when we
are out at night because we do. But

not be compensated for the loss OF

of special revenue bonds Of the City
of New York, and that such violation
and prohibited acts were done by the
defendant Craig personally or through

there Is no substantial dispute. al

parties are not in complete accord as

tain things were admittedly done OF

"The defendant Craig does not deny
that the corporate stock was issued
and neither does he deny that $1,000
600 thereof was used for redemption
of special revenue bonds. But he
claims that each and every step neces..
sary for the issuing of the stock and
the application Of its proceeds had
been fully completed and the transac-
tion closed, so far as his office was
concerned, on February IL. 1919, two
doys before thhe restraining order was
served upon him.
Question of Fact Raised
"Of course. II this be the fact then
the defendant Craig cannot be said to
have violated the provisions Of the
order, but if this be not the fact and
he is shown TO have disobeyed or ig-
nored the order or in any manner vio-
lated its provisions. then he is clearly
guilty Of contempt and should be pun
shed for not recognizing the mandate
of the Supreme Court.
"Hs claim is that on February z,
1919, he was authorized to act regard
ing the stock by the resolution OF the
Board of Estimate; that on February
8 he invited the commissioners of the
sinking fund to invest Sl.000,000 in

"The opinion speaks for itself" !" said
Leonard NJ. Wallstein, counsel for the

Text of Decision
Justice Manning in his decision said:

pany just beore leaving home in
April, that he would look after their
sons and remain with them, come
what might, he declined the prof
fered promotion for the greater
honor which the trust of those at
home implied and whose confidence
was not misplaced or abused. Short
/ ly after the Spanish-American war,
the State Militia was reorganized,
and Captain Stubs was rendered
and accepted the colonecy of the
First Regiment, with which he later
/ served as commanding officer on the
Mexican border and with which he
went as its colonel to France, the
regiment being at that time known
as the 156th Infantry. In recogni-
ton of Colonel Stubs military serv-
ices overseas and in appreciation of
his general fitness and personal
qualifications, he was twice recon-
mended for promotion to a Briga-
dier-Generalship, and only the sud
den termination of hostilities pre-.
vented the issuance of his commits
sion. Though still young man, Col.
Stubs has served his country with
distinction and honor through three
wars, each time among the first to
volunteer, and nos sheathing his
sword until the issue had been sat
isaetorily decided.
This splendid record shows that
Colonel Stubs was actuated by the
noblest and purest motives of pa
trlotism, and his thousands of friends
were quick to recognize the fact that
IN him were conferred the qualities
which should be possessed by any
man who aspires to govern great
state. Hence it was that Colonel
Stubs, after much urging, consent
ed to make the race for governor.
Since then he attracted to his stand
ard many of the recognized leaders
of the Democratic party. for they
recognize in Colonel Stubs a man
of ability, unquestioned integrity,
answering devotion to the best in
terest of the state, and whose ma
triotism impelled him to follow Old
Glory to the battlefields Of France.
They realized that these qualities
were sucn as to command the cor
dial support of generous and CRATE
full people; and, without attempting |
TO criticize or humiliate other am
bilious gentlemen. they rallied al |
most spontaneously to the support |
of Colonel Stubs.
It is not the policy of Colonel
Stubs to deal in personalities in |
this campaign. He will discuss |
measures, not men. It is his desire
to be governor of Louisiana, believ- |
ing that he is qualified bv his expert
ence in various capacities; and in |
