John Saxton Sumner (1876-1971) headed the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice (NYSSV), a New York state censorship body empowered to recommend obscenity cases to the appropriate prosecutors.

"He served as Associate Secretary of the NYSSV for three years, succeeding founder Anthony Comstock as Executive Secretary in 1915, upon the latter's death. Sumner retired in 1950; the organization, by then named the Society to Maintain Public Decency, was disbanded shortly thereafter." [1] [2]

See Sumner's article in the Omaha daily bee, November 28, 1915, EDITORIAL MAGAZINE, p. 24 (Anthony Comstock's Successor Explains Why Recognized Works of Art, Statues and Literary Masterpieces Are Never Disturbed in Museums, Private Residences or Libraries, But Are Driven Out of Print Shops and Book Stores by the Society for Suppression of Vice)
