Sibility OF appreciation in market value.

for there are numerous industrial Situa-
tions that look much better To the pub
lie than 20 those on the inside.
IL must be admitted that this pub
lic has had a keener sense OF specuia
tive values than the men who have been
in control of many of the corporations
whose stocks have been pushed up TO
extravagant levels in the last few years.

RECORD
ON MORAL ISSUES
(By j. w. H. deBeiIevilIe)


NEW YORK, July 7.-Old-time
New Workers who are familiar
with Governor Al Smiths politi-
cal record on the subject of the
saloon are wondering whether
they have correctly read his
statement in his recent telegram
to the Houston convention.
Like most Tammany politicians,
the Governor has acquired the
reputation of being too shrewd to
be caught in an untruth, a virtue
much emphasized and practiced
by Dick Croker, the silent" lead
er who never forgot a good turn
or failed to conciliate an enemy
when the opportunity offered,
and whose word was as good as
his bond.
Those who refused to believe
that political corruption and
truthfulness could go hand in
hand dismissed such asseverations
of personal integrity with a shrug.
There is honor among thieves"
and it is notorious that Tammany
hangs together, was a common
explanation of it.
But here is Smith, the political
friend and champion of the sa-
.oons since his early days in the
New York Legislature, coming
)ut flat-footedly with a state
nent reading as follows: 81 am
satisfied that without returning
the old evils that grew from
he saloon, which years ago l
leld and still hold was and ought
to be a defunct institu-
ion in this country, etc"
Here is his record:
1904 voted to weaken the town
.ocal option bill against hotel
bars.
1905 voted for several amend
ments to destroy Wainwright To-
cal option.
1906 voted for amendments to
kill local option bill.
1908 voted to bring saloons
nearer to churches and schools.
1909 offered bill to allow sal
oons carer than 200 feet to a
church, to increase hours saloons
could keep open.
1913 voted to increase hours of
saloons and the McCue bill to
hinder conviction of ~violators.
AS late as 1928, the New York
Times, a wet newspaper, report

ator Edge of New Jersey put

somewhere we can put a foot on
a brass rail again and blow of

Governor has admitted that he
was correctly reported.
Those who privately admit that
Smith is working diligently to
bring back the saloon, perhaps in
a slightly modified form, think it
IS a mistake for him to try to
sidestep his record as its friend.
They think he should be as frank
on this subject as he is in his
purpose to lead the movement to
restore the legalized traffic in
liquor.
The New York Governor was
brought up in the environment of
saloons of the worst type-those
on Oliver Street and vicinity in
the great East Side of New York.
If ever a man had an opportunity
of first hand information on the
evils of the liquor traffic, it was
he.
Tammany Hall politicians of
the type of Martin Engel and his
followers frequented these re-
sorts, made their political bar
gains and consummated city con-
in those same saloons.
