THE GOVERNOR NoN-CoMMITAL.


Bnt Ills Friends Believe He Has Been
offered Cabinet Position.
Paterson, N. j., Dec. 4. Governor
John w. Griggs arrived home last night
from Washington. lie was seen soon
after he reached his residence, but re-
fused to talk about the report that he
was to be the next attorney general.
lie would not say that the Office has
been offered to him. neither would he
deny this. Close friends of the gov
ernor and of Vice President Hobart,
who was seen at the Hamilton club
later, expressed the belief that the
cabinet position has been rendered the
governor, and added that he would
probably accept it.
Governor John William Griggs was
born in Newton, Sussex county, N. j.,
July 10, 1sA9. He was graduated from
Lafayette college in 1865, and became a
law student in the Office of Hon. Robert
Hamilton nt Newton. In 1871 lie re-
moved to Peterson, where he entered
the Office of the late Socrates Tuttle.
He was admitted to the bar that year
and together with Mr. Tuttle formed
the firm Of TuttIe d GrigCs. A few
years later lie opened an U1Ilce on his
own account. He was elected to the
assembly in 1916 alll was re elected two
years later. In the latter year the
house was equally divided, and he be-
came leader on the Republican side,
and this brought him forward. He was
renominated for another term, but was
defeated. He was elected counsel for
the board of freeholders of passaic
county and city counsel of Pntarson
which offices he held until 1882, VIXEN
he was elected to the state senate. He
was reelected state senator and be-
came president Of the senate in 1886.
lie was delegate t-larse to the Re-
publican national convention in 1883.
In 1875 Governor Werts, of New Jer-
sey, offered Mr.. GrigSs place On the
supreme bench of that state, which
Grigss declined to accept Next year
he was elected governor of New Jersey.

ed again Au der Aulage in Heidelberg.
In many respects this is a typical Heldei-
berg case. The town is so small that
everybody knows everybody else of con-
sequence, and public opinion on dueling
or anything else is a compelling force for
most foreigners. A few resisa it, but the
majority yield to It. and the average
american, II forced into a corner, VIII ac-
cept a challenge. In accepting il, how.
ever, he always stands out for pistols as
the only weapons with whose use he IS
familiar. His choice at once raises an
obstacle to the duel, for pistols are used
by Germans to avenge only deadly in
suits, such. for instance, as fall to the
lot OF the injured husband or betrayed
lover. For the ordinary offenses pistols
are anonymously dangerous, and most
Germans are disinclined TO use them
Hence frequently such settlement as
ended the roulette squabble
The advocate of peace, for nations as
wei as for individuals, may find little
lesson in the circumstances Of the Ameri-
cans in Heidelberg. Known as a man who
Is ready for trouble, ready to fight in one
way or another and likely to choose the
deadliest weapons IL forced into a corner,
he enjoys fuller immunity from injury
than the stranger of any other national
ity. Moreover, when trouble does come,
he does not find his antagonist quite 50
pressing for bloodshed as that antagonist
would be with a Frenchman or Austrian
1t is plain case of peace furthered by
preparedness for war
