Miller Deaf TO
Political II as
To Ouist Rattigan
Governor Refuses TO Dis
miss Able Superintendent
of Prisons Because He Is
Independent of the Party

ALBANY, May 2S.-~Some politicians
in the Republican party have been en-
deavoring to persuade Governor Miller
TO replace Charles f. Rattigan, Super
intendent of Prisons, with Repub-
licans, believe that his merit renders
so far have been barren of results and
Superintendent Rattigan's friends,
among whom are numerous Repub-
lican organization man. Their efforts
him secure in his Office. the term of
which has three years to run.
George Franklin, of Troy, who has a
record for faithfulness to the Repub-
hcan party is the man III whose behalf
the campaign against Rattigan is being
conducted. 1t is said, however, that
Governor Miller is unwilling to make
such a change simply for partisan rea'
sons and that Rattigan's ideas as to
prison management are in complete
harmony with his own.
Superintendent Rattigan Is an lnde-
pendent Republican, a co-worker with
Thomas Mott Osborne when the latter
was a leader of the upstate anti Tam
many Democrats. When MIR. OSBORNE
entered Auburn prison in gray as tohl
Brown to Start the Mutual Welfare
I,esoue Mr. Rattigan was Garden of
that prison.
His ideas as to prison reform are
advanced, though far less radical than
those with which Mr.. Osborne eXperl-
mented when he was Warden OF Sing
Sing. Under the administration OF
Superintendent Rattigan prison affairs
have been running smoothly in all the
state institutions.
In his appointments Superintendent
Rattigan has been influenced by the
ability of the candidates rather than
by politics. Lewis E. Lawes, whom ne
made Warden of Sing Sing, is Re
publican. He reappointed E. S: Jen-
nings, another Republican, as Warden
of Auburn prison.
Warden Kaiser, whom Superintendentt
Rattigan appointed as the head OF
Clinton Prison, and Warden Hunt,
whom he appointed at Great Meadow
when death caused vacancies at those
institutions, are both Democrats.
In addition to his reluctance to dis
miss any able man simply because he
happens to be a Democrat, Governor
Miller is said to be influenced to some
extent by advisers who recommend that
he continue the policy of Governor
Smith, who retained Republicans in
important positions until the end of
their terms.

Murphy Has Begun 10Th Year
As Boss of Tammany Hall
Rich and Healthy He Lets Cares of Running Ma
chine Rest Lightly Him; ''Tom' Smith
Likely to Take Scepter When He Retires

Charles F. Murphy is we'll started on
his twentieth year as the boss of Tam
many Hall. This is the record for any
ruler of the wigwam. Croker, Kelly
and Fernando Wood also held long
terms, but they fell short of the Muir
ply incumbency. While Croker held
on until January 13, 1902, he told his
friends after the election of Seth Low
in the fall of 1901 that he had had
enough and he was going to retire for
one of the younger men. Then fol-
lowed an experimental exterregnum
during which Lewis Nixon wore the
toga for few weeks and then retired

do. Lewis Nixon, young engineer
with n national reputation, was chosen
to succeed Croker. This was a few
days after Low and his heads of de-
partmenta were installed in control of
the city government.
Nixon .Wearies of Task
The chastened braves sat back and
watched Nixon with detached interest.
They had lost the Offices and they did
not much care what happened at the
City Hall. Nixon proved to be n fairly
good mixer, but as the district leaders
were indisposed to cooperate in re-
form ideas suggested by him, he soon
wearied of his task and resigned.
Murphy during this time was preparing
to take over the leadership. The next
act was to elect triumvrate to run
the oranization. Charles F. Murphy,
Daniel Mcmahon and Louis f. Haffen,
of the Bronx, were elected as a gov
erning committee. They had hard
summer Bill" Devery, the deposed
chief of police, was burden to Tam
many and the triumvirate tried to
lose" him He refused to be elimi-
mated Devery covered the triumvirate
ridicule by alluding to them as sport"

send the man to tho electric chair. Any
one who ever sat in these courtrooms
knows that large rart of the time of
trial is consumed in pleading with the
witnesses TO speak loud enough for the
entire jury to hear
Judge Talley pointoi out that the
courthouse was built ir 1893 and that
the value of acoustics apparently did
not enter into the plan of construction.
After outlining these things to the
other judges he submitted a plan pre-
pared by reputable concern showing
that the acoustics could be installed at
a moderate cost.

Talley Urges Improved
Courtroom Acoustics

A plan for Improving the acoustics
in the courtrooms of General Sessions
was laid before the judges yesterday by
Judge Alfred j. Talley. 1t is proposed
to ask the Board of Estimate for an
appropriation to cover the cost of in
stalling the acoustics during the sum-
mer months when some of the court
rooms will be closed.
81 know of no place in the world
where the necessity of hearing the
spoken word is so important as in the
courtroom" said Judge Talley. Here

he likewise predicted mis- reelection.
He rarely INDUCES in prophecy.
The hard work in connection with
the management of the Tammany or
ganization is done by Public Admins
traitor Thomas F. Smith. 1t is likely
that "Tom," who for twenty years or
more has been secretary of Tammany
Hall, will succeed Mr.. Murphy when
the time comes for change. His re-
tirement from Congress this year was
due to the desire of Murphy to get out
from under the hard work 6f attending
to the district leaders and mending
political fences. Thomas F. Smith is
a lawyer, forceful public speaker, and
enjoys the confidence of the district
leaders. "Fix it up with Tom" is what
&C. F." tells most Of those who run to
him with prieyances

for triumvirate. During all of this
nterregnum Mr.. Murphy was recog-
nized as the real "comer," and such he
proved to be.
Croker retired with an abundant for
tune, with the avowed intention of TAX
ing the remainder of his life easy. He
became an Irish estate owner and bred
horse that won the English Derby.
He is still living.
Following Croker there came pc
riod in the history of Tammany that
is looked upon still as a bit of comedy
in New York politics. Sore over their
defeat, the older men in the Tammany
councils let the "better element" have
their head just to see what they would

Haffen spent an embarrassed existence
tagged "Joke." Murphy's advent to su-
premacy in the organization was dur
Ing this comedy period. While the
town was laughing at the triumvirate
he went ahead with his plans for the
leadership, to which he was formally
chosen in September, 1902.
While his twentieth anniversary will
not technically be reached for more
than year, it is fact that from the
time of Croker's retirement in the
early winter of 1902 potentially he was
che boss of the organization, the 5ulli-
vans siding with him more often than
with others.

Prosperous and Healthy

Like Richard Croker in one respect,
Mr.. Murphy mas amassed a competence
during his incumbency of the Tam
many leadership He spends much
time in the summer at Good Ground
on the island, and in the winter, when
he feels like it, goes to Hot Springs,
Ark, or French Lick, Ind. He enjoys
good health, plays golf and does not
allow the cares Of leadership to worry
a "loose rein.''

After making a survey of the first year of national prohibition the New York Herald said that while the record was not all that the friends of prohibit tion could wish. nevertheless II was, perhaps, quite as good in the situation as might have been expected by close thinkers.
 Granting that this record would give hope to the millions of surface think CTS" who are openly at war with na- tional prohibition" and would enconr age the vigorous" and determined all ti-prohibition propaganda" now of na- tion-wide scope. that has the hacking of unlimited money" the New York Herald expressed its belief that the Op- pOnents of the government in this fight are certain to be beaten in the end, be cause the government. with its bound less resources. will compel obedience 10 its law. Defying the law of state k one thing: defying the law of the na- tional government is quite another the Herald said The New York Her aid has done good service with it's fair and just appraisal of the citua tion and its solemn warning to all who would seek to overthrow or circumvent national prohibition. Prohibition is the law of the United States and, as we said in these columns when discussing the aston of the House of Representa- tives in in reasing the appropriation for enforcement of the Volsttad act, the United States government has ney- CT vet failed to compel obedience to and respect for it's laws, and it cannot afford to fail in the matter of pr0hi- bition.-Arkansas Gazette.
