. COURTS DECISION Wiped away at a clean sweep by a
ON SULZER' S SUSPENSION ruling of a court is the inalienable right
of a citizen of the state of New York to the presumption of innocence until
the offence with which is charged is proved against him after a fair and im
partial trial by a jury of his peers.
The court reviews that section of the constitution of New York state
that provides for the suspension of the chief executive in cases where the
. lower house brings in impeachment charges and observes that the provision
takes from Governor Sulzer the right that is guaranteed to every other citi
zen of the state the presumption of his innocence until his crime is proved
in a court of law. v
The jurist who handed down that decision did not believe that its pro
visions were just or that the governor was given the same consideration be
fore the court that every other man expects and receives when he is brought
in to face a charge filed against him by the properly constituted authorities.
It is strange that the provisions of the constitution of the stite should
- deny to the man who happens to be its governor the protection that is ac
corded to even the murderer and gangster of the slums or that the courts
should have to decide in that state that the chief executive of several million
people is not entitled under the laws to that consideration given in the in
structions of every judge at the conclusion of a case that the defendant must
be proved guilty beyond even the
can be reckoned guilty of the crime with which he is charged.
Strange it is, also, that the constitution of that state should contain
provisions relative to the conduct of the office of the governor that are not
to be found in the national compact and that it should require the suspen
sion of its chief when the federal agreement removes the executive only after
the sentence has been duly passed by the chief justice of the supreme court
following the majority decision of the members of the national senate. A
president of the United States can be removed only after he has been CON
VICTED of the crime with which he has been charged by the lower house
and at no time is he suspended from the duties of his office or the powers
and prerogatives of his position taken from him.
Months often elapse between the time that the lower house brings in
its charge and that at which the senate considers them. During that inter
val, the governor of the state stands in the light of a criminal who has al
ready been convicted at the bar and who but awaits the sentence that the
court is to pass upon him.
Useless then, is the later trial of
is the investigation and consideration
action that has been brought. After
until the senate has the time and inclination to pass upon his case, of what
use is it that the charges may be later worthless and the complaint under
which they are brought unsustained?
and preorgatives of, the position that
state. He has already been driven from
up charges against him for political effect. Futile then is the later investi
gation of the senate and worthless is its decision, whatever it may be.
To what extent might not such a ruling of a court be used by schem
ing politicians who, planning to foster their own plans and ambitions, would
like to rid themeselves of a political
trice, the lower house would, at the
up charges against the chief executive
from that post of honor and confidence

It might well be willing then to
p.is power, the positon that he had formerly held and leave to him to undo,
as best he might, the mischief that had been accomplished by the tool of the
v machine during his brief but profitable tenure of office.
It is interesting to speculate just how far unscrupulous politicians could
carry such a ruling of the court in their maneuvering through the mazes
of legislative workings in the Albany capitol.
Contracts that were particularly desirable to the bosses of the party
: in power and that might be lost to the grafters now entrenched at Albany
might be won were the chief executive but out of the way and this gives
the lever by which he could be influenced at almost any stage of his career.
AH Prisoners Possess Some Good

l
REGARD every man, in prison

SOME ARE MADE CRIMINALS BY ENVIRONMENT; SOME ARE IN
PRISON BECAUSE OF 80ME SUDDEN AND VIOLENT TEMPTATION
ALL POSSESS 80ME GOOD AND SHOULD BE TREATED HUMANELY
The notion that a penitentiary is a place to wreak vengeance upon
the criminal is REPUGNANT TO THE SENTIMENT OF OUR
TTMES. The modern and humane thought is that punishment for crime
consists of depriving the criminal of liberty and requiring him to per
form useful labor. The fundamental purpose of it all is REFORMA
TION. It 1s my theory that NO MAN CAN BE REFORMED IN IDLE
NESS and that no man after reformation can make good in idleness
The effort is to keep all these men BUSY AT SOME EMPLOYMENT.

It might not, in nine cases- out of ten, be necessary for that machinery to be
put into -operation for the mere threat that it would be used and the know
ledge that it could be made instrumental, would accomplish the result thai
the bosses desired in a quicker way than they could hope to gain it other
wise. It is a new tool that the court has placed in the hands of an unscrupu
lous adversery of Sulzer, a new instrument given by the judiciary to a Tam
many leader to remove from power that man whose record has always been
that of a fighter for the interests of the masses and against the combined
forces of the graft loving politicians now cenetered at the capital of the state.
SECRECY IN -When Representative Anderson of Minnesota re-
PUBLIC SERVICE signed from the all powerful committee on ways
and means in the lower house of congress and uttered that scathing denunci
ation of the methods by which the democratic forces were shaping legislation,
he filed a vigorous protest against secrecy in the administration of public
siffairs that is peculiarly interesting, coming, as it does, from a public ser
vant discharging his public" duty.
Secrecy in any field of public life, whether it be in the halls of the na
tional congress, in the caucuses of the parties held in the quiet hours of
the night, or in the council chamber of the smallest village inthe land is
ot consistent with public policy nor
munity whose interests are affected by that legislative body the knowledge
of the transactions that are being conducted there that they are justly and
rightfully entitled to have. -
Public servants are but the instrumentalities through which the people
work their will, whether it be in the legislative, the judcial, or the executive
branches of the government. .To allow either of those branches to conduct
the administration of that business in the dark is inconsistet with the best
interests of the communities that are served and is conducive to the formula
tion of plots and plans detrimental to the common interests and prejudicial
to the common welfare.
In filing his vehement protest against the way in which the democrats
have conducted the national administration, Representative Anderson ex
pressed the judgment of, not only his constituents in Minnesota, but in
other districts of the country which are represented in the same halls by other
delegations. The secret conferences
with popular favor for they savor of
public welfare and arouse in the minds of the people suspicions that all is
not as it should be while the events of these meetings are hidden from them.
There is nothing like suspicion to
that can inflame the public mind more
that its public servants are making plans
be developed and crystalized into action in the public assemblies
For that reason, there is no good excuse for the caucus. There is no
reason that there should be a midnight conference of the representatives of
the powerful party excluding from attendance those districts1 whose delega
tions are in the minority and who have just the same right to representation
in matter of this kind as have those who happen to have delegations in favor
with the administration. . '
It is the same story that inflamed the people of the original thirteen
colones into rebellion' against the. patent country for it is, merely another
guise for the taxation and legislation without representation. The caucus
meets. It selects the quiet hours of the night. It deliberates, plots, and
plans.. It votes. That vote then and there settles the action of the party
in power for the following day. It settles the fate of the pending legisla
tion that is introduced or to be introduced in the national halls of congress.
It pre-determines just what is to be done along certain definite and well
understood lines. - . - -
After the caucus, the members assemble in the congressional halls for
their public meeting. Nothing is said of caucus or of agreement. But that
caucus has botmd, hand and foot, every member of the majority party to
vote as it has dictated and the legislation is either enacted or assassinated as
it has directed.
The voice of the minority is not heard. It has been gagged. The peo
ple that it represents are bound, unheard, by the legislation that it enacts..
Surely, it is a thorn in the side of the national body that should be taken
out at once and should be removed from all those branches of our govern
ment that act as servants and instrumentalities of the public will.
