out to find the place, which was not
difficult.
At the ranch We received a hearty
welcome from Mrs. Mary E. Chew, IS

the Mormon pioneer type. She came
into this country over As miles of rough

SMITH AND TAMMANY

Governor Smith was the principal
speaker at the annual Tammany celebra-
ton July 4. He attributed the society's
long existence to Its great human appeal
to everyone who is true to America. =
Can anything live in this country SO
years that is not all right?" he shouts.
Well, sin and crime have existed in this
country several times 139 years, but does
that make them "all right?" AS to Tam
many's appeal to everyone who is true to
America" remember the brazen declara-
ton of another Tammany boss: Il am for
my own pocket all the time"
What, forsooth, is the character and
history of this organization? few
quotations from The international En-
cyclopedia will enlighen us. Aaron
Burr is supposed to have given the society
Indirectly its first training in the devil
Gus ways of practical politics" The
climax was reached in 1869-71, when
Tweed and his associates were proved to
have robbed the city of untold millions
Damaging disclosures concerning the
methods of Tammany were also made
during the Investigations conducted re-
spectively by the State Committee on
Cities headed by j. Sloat Fasset in 1890,
the Special Committee of the State Sem
ate headed by Clarence Lexow in 1894,
and the Special Committee of the State
Assembly headed by Robert Mazer in
$780," "Arrayed against it are large
majority of the cultured and wealthy
classes, the members of the Republican
party, and large numbers representing
various classes who are convinced that
Tammany government means a govern
ment of blackmail of foStered vice, OF
police corruption, and if not of outright
dishonesty in all respects, at least Of gen.
eral wastefulneSs and inefficiency"
Read some of the sordid details in
Bryce's American Commonwealth"
Then, can you think without shudder
of the possibility of elevating to the
presidency of the United States this
Tammany leader? Asserting his pride
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1928-09-01

at being an officer of the society of Tam
many, the governor concluded with the
hope that year by year a larger number
of people might be brought under its
patriotic (sicD inEaence." = Buffalo
Courier Express.
In view of the facts, is not this hope on
par with his desire to get us some
where where we can put foot on the rail
again and blow off the froth?"
The New Age Encyclopedia says of Tam
many: "A political organization which
has ruled New York CITY with but few
intervals since 1890. Organized as a
benevolent society in 1905, by 1910 it had
won its way to a predominant influence
in city politics; is controlled by a "boss"
who is practically autocratic; it's methods
are corrupt, nearly all the money gained
by Tammany representing blackmail
levied on corporations and wealthy men,
who find the city authorities have so
many opportunities of interfering veXati-
ously with Their business that they prefer
to buy them off and live in peace

ENFORCEMENT Anglers VETS
Their Ire Aroused at Hip Shaping"
Party on New York Pier

An innovation in customs service was
inaugurated in New York on August Is
when agents stood at the exit gates OF
the pier, slapping the pockets of the 4,O0O
males who bade bon Oogdge to departing
friends on the French liner, lie Gle
France, says a New York news dispatch.
Eighteen of the visitors we're detained,
but most of them paid fines at the pier
to avoid publicity.
Colonel William S. Concrow, chief OF
the customs inspection, said that the
search had been ordered because OF the
French liners refusal to quit lsulng daily
rations to members Of the ships crew
and to persons visiting the vessel. This
activity by the customs department
oused the ire of Representative
Emanuel Celler, of Brooklyn, who tele-
graphed Commissioner Doran a protest.
Representative Celler, a prominent and
active wet, told Commissioner Doran that
he inclined to the belief that the COM
missioner did not authorize this out
rageouS procedure" who did" the tele-
gram added "Such 1outing Of personal
liberty brings your office into d1srepute
and causes most solemn resentment This
time the agents frisked the men. II they
are unrestrained the next time they Will
friSk the ladies similarly. AS repre-
sentative I protest against such unre-
strained methods of search
There is no pleasing these vets. They
complain that the law is not being en-
forced that it can't be enforced, and that
therefore it ought to be repealed; but
when the Federal government does en-
force the law, these SAME vets play the
cry-baby act and begin to squawk about
personal liberty.

CANADIAN SYSTEM FAILS
It Is Asserted That the Return of
the Saloon Would Be Pref
cradle

The New York Telegram. in its issue OF
August 10. has an interesting article by
MIR Carl D. Groat, one of its stall CORE
spondents, writing from Montreal, quebec,
on the liquor situation in Canada. The
TELEGRAM announces that it assumes no
responsibility for the views expressed and
is seeking only to present in news form
the results of its inquiries.
The article is as ronows, and should be
read by Governor Smith, Chairman RssS-
kob. Senator Wadsworth, DIR. Butler ana
others who have been SO welded to the
Canadian system of governmental liquor
control:
Return of the saloon would be preferable
to the present Liquor Commission system
in Quebec Province, the Rev. E. l. Hart, OF
the Quebec League Against ALCOHOLISM
sometimes known as the Wayne Wheeler
of Canada said today. He told the
United Press, in an exclusive interview,
that he feels that the present system OF
dealing with liquor in this province has
resulted in situation where the govern
ment has the liquor traffic and the liquor
traffic has the government He declared
that men representing the liquor interests
are increasingly being sent to Parliament,
while the commission, with good citizens
attached thereto, is throwing CLOAK OF
responsibility around the liquor traffic.
"Dr. Hart declared that the triple evils
of liquors, drugs and prostitution are
linked in Montreal. The center OF the
drug traffic on the North American con-
tinent is located here, he said, while the
liquor trade and red lights go hand IN
hand. He pointed out that under the OLD
license system preceding the commission
plan there were only 400 licenses, whereas
today there are 1000 permits III montreal
alone for taverns, cafes, etc.
"Wet municipalities have increased from
90 to 300 under the commission system.
Hart pointed to the growing prohlbitlon
movement before the commission system
was inaugurated and declared that the
commission plan was put through Parlia-
ment without reference to the people
after a system for only beer and ngnt
wines had been organized.
'Take last year as an example OF the
results: Sales of bee- increased per cent.
over the previous year; wine increased 80
per cent: hard liquor 16 TO II per cent.
These figures come from the Liquor Com
mission, but for some reason it has not in
Guided them in its annual report
beer and wine are merely an open
ing wedge for hard liquor. We have seen
that in the history of the commission
movement Hart believes, however, that,
despite the growth of tte liquor traffic in
Quebec. prohibition will eventually come
throughout the world. American effici-
ency under prohibition set the world an
example. he said Competition with this
American efficiency will eventually put the
world on dry basis"
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1928-09-01

Governor Smith has done more than
any other person to force the Church
into politics to save prohibition.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1928-09-01

The Smith followers say that prohibit
ton can not be enforced. But Smith
promises to enforce it if elected, under
taking to enforce the unenforceable.
