Edwards Renews
His "Wei" Pledge
Continued from Paze One
He describes as "first and fonnst" of
the problems confronting the state gov
prnment "the matter of sumptuary
legNlation rnactod by the federal Con
gross." und he wont on to say. the ques
tion "whether the people hi New Jersey
desired to be understood as being in
favor of surrendering to the federal gov
ernment the power of regulating the e.- !
erciso of their pergonal liberties" hav
ing been answered in the negative, he
interpreted the result as indicating that
"the citizens of New .Ierpy insist iipnu
reserving to thtnisph eB the richt to jj
how they shall live, ami that tlic b
lieve measures regulating their mode of
Jife have no place in the organic law
of the nation."
In compliance with definite pledge
made in his campaign for iroveruor. Mr.
Edwards then declared his purpose to
"do every lawful thing to lime it deter
mined that the present condition of af
fairs with respect of prohibition had
been illegally forced upon the people of
this state.'
"Concurrent Legislation"
Ho quoted from what he designated as
the "so-called eighteenth a .lendnicnt"
the section which proidos that the
"Congre-s and the seeral states shall
have' concurrent power to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation."
"For the first time in our history,"
said Governor Edwards, such language
makes its appearance in the federal
constitution. Its pre-encc there is uot
the lc.-ult of accident or idle thought.

aggravating the public mind by tr.ving

sion established, appointive by Hie gov
ernor, with thp ndvicp and consent of
the Senate and the passaRo of a bill pro

Other departments, "mlsstylcd econ

sharp criticism and inefficient and of
doubtful economic value.

Constitutions have been made and

the solemn symbol of organized society,

of liberty, law and order, thnt trinity

has impressed its beloved characters.
Pray God it may ever be thus. Liberty

"Times change, so do the problems
and activities of society. Little did
the craftsman of this seal conceive,
little did the governor to whose hands
this precious symbol was first en
trusted, forecast the tremendous growth
of population and of industries within
its jurisdiction.
"The structure of society i not pet

ancient ideal. It is a living, nervous

LAWARE RIVER
PLANS COMBINED
Rivers and Harbors Bill Con
tains Improvements for Wa
terway as Far as Trenton
$5,000,000 FOR THE WORKS
Hu a Staff Correspondent
Washington, Jan. '20. A single proj
ect for the improvement of the Dela
ware river from Allegheny avenue, Phil,
ndclphia, to Lalor street, Trenton, Is
nrovlded for in the rivers and harbors
bills reported to the- House yesterday.
This is accomplished by consolidation
of two existing projects. The bill in
cludes the. following section :
"Section (5 Delaware river, between
Philadelphia. Pa., and Trenton, N. J.:
The two projects heretofore authorized
for Delaware river from Allegheny nvc
nuc, Philadelphia, Pa., to Lalor street,
Trenton, N. J., nud nbove Lalor street
to the upper railroad bridges at Tren
ton are hereby consolidated to form a
single project between Philadelphia and
Trenton."
llcsidos the Delaware project provi
sion is made in the bill -for n survey
of Absecon Inlet, Newark bay and the
Ilackensack and Passaic rivers and the
llaritau river, including tho section
nbove the Washington canal, all in
New Jersey and a survey of Wilming
ton harbor (Christiana river) in Dela
ware. To Provide Until 19"J1
These comprise the specific projects
authorized by tho measure, ulthough the
Delaware and other river improvements
will share in the expenditure of S12,000
000 appropriated for continuing and
maintaining improvements previously
authorized.
This appropriation is divided to allow
53,000,000 for "the maintenance and
preservation of public works on rivers
Victrola
$25 to $300
Uptown
6th and Thompson Streets
and harbors," and .'$7,000,000 "for con
tlmilug thu prosecution of improvement
works oil rivers and harbors which have
herctoforo been adopted by Congress."
According to tho committee report, it is
tistimatcd by the chief of engineers of
the nrmy, in charge of river and harbor
Improvements, that the 85,000,000 ap
propriated in the bill will be sufficient,
In addition to the funds available from
previous appropriations, to maintain
existing river und harbor works so as
to adequately provide for the" needs of
commerce until March 4, 1021. liy that
time it is anticipated that mother rivers
and harbors appropriation bill will have
been passed by Congress.
The cost of the New Jersey nnd Dela
ware surveys enumerated will come out
of a $400,000 appropriation for sur
veys of specific projects designated jn
the bill.
Eighty Now Projects
Section 0 of the bill rcpenls the para
graph in Section 3 of the river nud har
bor net approved March 2. 1010, which
provided that no work should be under
take upon any new project in that net
unless the Secretary of ,Wnr should be
of the opinion that, based on the cost
at the time of entering upon the work,
the project could be completed nt a
cost not greater than -10 per cent in
