Gently or Intentionally, to hide this
fact: that legal liquor or illegal liq-
uor, any liquor, goes to the brain,
paralyzes the hands so that control
of the wheel is lost. Senator Simp-
son and Commissioner Dill are meet
ing together to punish through
stricter law and a preachment to
magistrates to enforce the motor ve-
hicle law by sentence severe.
1t is particularly appropriate to
have Senator Simpson on the commit
tee, his first step toward conversion
to prohibition. He is examining into
the case; that is hopeful, for from the
facts he will reach conclusion. He
will be a peculiar man il that conclu-
sion does not influence him. Politi-
clans of his eminence have whole
lot of common sense. The killing of
his people by drunken drivers he will
not stand for-the next move: smash
the cause-Whiskeyl
Tim" Sullivan was political lead
er of Tammany Hall in districts on
the lower East Side. His constituents
were shooting each other in brawls.
Tim" said there were plenty of laws
against shooting, so he introduced a
| law making it crime to carry guns.
He went to the heart of the case, and
the law. according to the police, is to
an extent helpful, so much so that
| supporting bill is from time to time
suggested for New Jersey. II SEN
ator Simpson and Dill will go to the
| heart of the question, as Tim" Suli-
van did, there would be more help
come to the liberation; instead, Sem
ator Simpson is favorable to the re-
! peal Of the Hobart Enforcing Act.
which is sure to encourage Illicit
selling. The repeal of this act re-
lieves all the police in the State from
any intense enforcing. For instance,
it is the incidental duty of every law
officer to prevent counterfeiting,
smuggling, and other crimes against
the nation; it is not their particular
duty With the Hobart act in force,
it becomes the particular duty OF
every State and county and borough
officer to enforce the law. Here is
Senator Simpson in solemn confer
ence with thirty magistrates and
Commissioner Dill seeking to have
them enforce the law, and to be made
more stringent through this confer
ence, and at the same time advocates
the repeal of a law which Importantly
restricts the flow of the fluid that
causes an automobile to use both
sides of the road, cutters inclusive.
The humor of the politicians is some
what like that of the negro uncon-
scious.
There are a few Republicans who
are saying they will vote for Moore
there are number of Democrats that
will change too, offsetting to a bal
ance between the candidates. To
and give the reason that they want
to carry their protest to the country
this may be said-the country al
ready know that New Jersey is wet,
for is not the Atlantic Ocean" man
Senator? He will not let Washing
ton forget that. He made his rep"
before he went to the Senate; that
settled his usefulness there, too. So
the protest" reason is not impor-
tant except as a repetition. Just
why any man who does not expect to
go into the liquor business or is free
from brewery stock or has not the
thirst, votes to mix matters here in
this part of the United States is a
puzzle.
Hon able Simp. calling on Com
mish" Dilpickle-Say, "Commish,"
I'm down to see If we can't do some
thing about putin the screws on the
drunken buns drivin' cars in Hudson.
They're runnin' down too many for
me. First thing I know I'll be in
trouble. Let's make a law.
Dilpickle-Oh! The law! We've
got all the law necessary. The
"drunks" know you fellows wink at
the selling, and if you wink they wink
in the driving. You know, "Simp,'
you fellows make me tired comm
here with your silly plans. If I've got
a bellyache, l don't treat it from the
outside; the trouble is inside. Rub
bling a chapter of laws on the outside
won't cure it. And it is just SO with
your pain" up in Hudson; it needs
inside treatment-one paddock with
water every three months.
Simpson, Simpson Of Jersey City
and Hudson County. You may not
know Senator Simpson; he is a frank
talker and has been up before the
people a number of times and elected.
He "swims" with Edwards and talks
like him. Lately man by the name
of Wilson put the knife to one of his
speeches in an effort to find the
"guts"-gas only.
The Hudson County leaders say
that prohibition cannot be enforced.
Who ever heard of anyone making
a success of anything that they did
not believe in? No business will go
unless the head believes in it; no
professional man will be successful
unless he believes in his profession;
no church will fulfill its mission un-
less the pastor believes; then how
can Hudson County say prohibition Is
failure when the chiefs openly avow
they don't believe in prohibition? No,
it will not succeed in Hudson Coun-
ty until the people of Hudson County
