GOVERNOR EDWARDS.
The battle in New Jersey, led by j
Governor Edward I. Edwards, for
state rights as against constitutional
prohibition, is being- fought along
two lines: An effort to induce the
legislature to contest the validity
of the 18th amendment to the Con
stitution in the United Suites su
preme court, and to enact a state
law permitting the sale in New
Jersey of beverages containing more j
than one-half of one percent of j
alcohol. j
Steps necessary to light the pro- .
hibition amendment in the supreme j
court have been considered in con- j
ferences between the new governor
and the state attorney-general. Two .
bills have been introduced in the j
legislature, one to permit the sale
of beverages with four percent of
alcohol content, and the other five
i
percent.
Governor Edwards was elected on |
an issue of “personal liberty." He i
gave a pledge in his campaign to
insist upon the right of the people
of New Jersey to say how they ;
should live. His attempt to fulfill,
that pledge has made his state one j
of the few remaining battlegrounds j
for the right of a man to buy a
drink, and has attracted attention
throughout the country.
Governor Edwards, in attempting
to assert and maintain the soverSign j
rights of the State of New Jersey j
as against federal constitutional pro-;
hibition, musit deal with a legis- j
lature controlled by the Republican
party, while he is a Democrat. New
Jersey not only failed to ratify toe
federal prohibition amendment, to
gether with Rhode Island and Con
necticut, but went far her than any
other state in the Union, and it*
legislature absolutely rejected the
amendment. The governor has
urged the legislature to refrain
in its present session from now giv
ing its ratification.
Although Governor Edwards holds (
liberal personal views concerning the .
use of intoxicants, his friends say j
that he has not taken a drink of
intoxicating liquor in more than 30 ;
years, upon advice of his physician, j
Edwards is a man of action j
rather than an orator, but, in his i
campaign, made an impression in
his speeches by directness and
frankness. He is considered a
staunch party organization man, of
more than average business ability,
tolerant and loyal; a home-loving
man, one whose greatest pleasure
in life is in playing games with his
little grandchildren. His home is
in Jersey City. He is 56 years old,
president of the First National bank
of Jersey city, served for six years
as state controller, in which office
he established a “pay-as-you-go" pol
icy for New Jersey, and for about
one year was state .senator. He is
married and has one son. Captain
Edward I. Edwards, Jr., who served
overseas in the war, and a daughter.
He is a vestryman of St. Paul’s
Episcopal church of Jersey City.
“Watch Seward Blow” is an An
chorage man’s paraphrase of the
railroad city’s trademark. It takes
more or less blowing to make a
town "Tow. comments an exchange,
I and the quicker a city can raise
| the wind the better off it is. Any
kind of advertising is better than
! no advertising. Pink Whiskers made
!j. Ham Lewis. Ole Hanson was
quick to take advantage of the Se
jatitle strike to advertise himself.
| Therefore, if Seward acquires the
[reputation of blowing over her ad
vantages it will be advertising for
I the citv.

INSURANCE REINSTATEMENT. ;
I !
- I
I
To relieve any confusion that may '
I exist in the minds of former service I
men on account of the special pro
vision of lapsed war term insurance
which authorized reinstatement up
to December 31, 1919, regardless of i
date of discharge, announcement is
made by Director R. G. Cholmeley-1
Jones of the Bureau of War Risk
1 Insurance that the provisions for I
reinstatement of lapsed or canceled
; insurance, within 18 months from
date of discharge, upon payment of
■only two months’ premiums on the
| amount of insurance to be rein
stated, provided the insured is in as
j good health as at the date of dis
' charge or expiration of the grace
j period, whichever is the later date,
• and so states in his application, still
[holds good.
j The provision that discharged ser
vice men are permitted to reinstate!
at any time within three calendar j
months following the month of dis- J
charge by merely paying the two'
months’ premiums, without making i
a formal application or a statement
as to health, is also still in force.
The provisions for reinstatement
do not protect a man until he actu
ally reinstates. If he waits he may
not be in as good health as he was
at the time of discharge, and cvn
Isequently may not be able to secure
reinstatement.

j CLOVEN FOOT ATTRACTS
ATTENTION IN LONDON
I
I LONDON.—A bay horse with a
J cloven foot is exciting much inter
jest at the World’s Fair here. The
horse is the offspring of a shire
stallion and a Welsh mare, and it
is suggested that his two toes indi
cate a reverion to his prehistoric
ancestors. Prehistoric horses had
three or more toes on each foot.
One of the earliest members of the
horse family, Phenacodus, is said
to have had five toes on each foot.

j AMERICAN' HEADQUARTERS,
COBLENZ, Germany. — Claims for
I
I damages to streets, buildings, farm '-,
and even individuals, all reputed to
, have been done by American sol
diers or American equipment of
jsome kind since the Army of Occu
pation reached the Rhine, aggre
gate something more than 5,000,000
! marks. Those allowed total ap
jproximately 250.000 marks. Many
Ulaims are unique and some without
| any justification.
i A woman who contended that her
'facial appearance had been marred
foi life, owing to cuts caused by
I , .
i flying glass due to an explosion at
ian ammunition dump, sent in the
: modest claim for 250 marks. It was
! allowed.
! Another woman, whose husband
had been killed by an American
'military policeman who was chasing
.distributors of contraband liquor,
j submitted a claim to the Americans
for 250,000 marks, contending that
her sole support had been taken
from her. The Americans main
tained that the German had been
! killed by an American soldier while
: he was acting within his rights in
jthe line of duty. The claim was
i disapproved.
| Some of the claims are humorous.
:Last summer, the 89th division bor
rowed a goat for a circus at its
headquarters. Recently a claim was
filed with the American town ma
jor asking damages on the conten
tion that the health of the goat
had been injured. This claim was
j pigeonholed.
; A Rhineland farmer recently de
jmanded five marks for a beanpole
alleged to have been stolen by an
! American soldier. An army com
| mission heard the case and threw
out the claim on the ground that
; there was no evidence to show that
an American had committed the
theft.'
