back of Edwards in his evident in
tention Of carrying out campaign
pledge that won him many votes.
~ will make New Jersey as wet
as the Atlantic Ocean," he was
quoted as saying before the cleo
ton.
After the election he explained
that he hadn't said exactly that, but
that he would exert every legal
means to prevent enforcement of
national prohibition in his state.
However, he wasn't very insistent
upon this point being cleared up.
Every one who was interested, either
as "dry" or "wet," was under the
impression up to the time the polls
closed that Edwards had promised to
make New Jersey Gas wet as the At
lantic Ocean,; it is no exaggeration
to say that big majority Of Jersey
men want their state to have at
least that degree of moisture, nor is
it stretching the truth to assert that
they look to Edwards to give them
their hearts desire.
And Edwards will, if he can. He
has no John G. Calhoun to indite an
exposition, justifying notification as
a states right under the Constitu-
ton, but he has-Frank Hague.

A Darwin of Spiritisnl

The intention, apparently, is that
New Jersey will proclaim in her en-
forcement law that beers and wines
are not Intoxicating. Should Fed
eral officer arrest violator of the
Volstead act, but one who had kept
within the New Jersey law, the state
will demand that he be tried in her
own courts.
The first test case on this issue
will bring to a head. the conflict
between the doctrines of states
rights and Federal sovereignty.
Much may depend on the degree of
tirmness with which the powers in
control in Washington meet the
situation. This question already has
been asked by politicians across the
Hudson:
Gust how far will Democratic
national Administration go toward
embarrassing Democratic Cover
nor on the eve Of a Presidential
election?"
New Jersey is President Wilson'S
own state. 1t is the home of Secre-
tary Tumulty, who has never been
accused of being babe in the
woods of politics. Edwards's cleo
ton has revived to some extent in
Bourbon breasts the hope of putting
the state back into their party COL

The Parallel

who was boosted into the undisputed
leadership of the New Jersey De-
mocracy by Edwards's nomination
and election, is strategist of the
first water. He knows that political
eApediency for the time being de-
mands the states rulers show sym.
pathy for the "wet" cause, just as it
is known to everybody else in New
Jersey, including the Republicans.
And thereby hangs another angle Of
the situation:
The 1920 New Jersey Legislature
will have Republican majority in
each house. The Senate will stand
fifteen Republicans to six Democrats,
the Assembly thirty-three to twenty
seven. Moreover, the vote cast
throughout the state last November
for Republican Assembly candidates
totaled over $4,000 more than that
polled by Democratic aspirants for
seats in the lower house. Edwards's
plurality of some $4,000 in the face
OF this merely accentuates the fact
that his victory was "wet," not a
Democratic, triumph. Republican
legislative candidates in normally
Republican bailiwicks went down to
defeat when they wore the "dry"
label. But, for the most part, the
Republican candidates for the Sem

The Jersey Plan

New Jersey in 1920, provided the
Edwards program prevails, will con-
tend that the Volstead prohibition
enforcing act is unconstitutional;
will pass law directly at variance
with its provisions, "Iegalizing" the
manufacture and sale of beers and
wines as beverages and of whisky
for medicinal purposes, and can
hardly avoid coming into open con-
iict with the Federal government if
the latter essays to enforce it's own
statutes.
The South Carolina "nullifiers"
were backed by the overwhelming
popular opinion of their common
wealth. If Henry Clay, author of
the obnoxious legislation, had not
come forward with compromise.
historians agree, there is little doubt
that South Carolinians would have
focked enthusiastically to the stand
ards Of revolt as they did twenty
eight years later when Sumter was
fired upon.
Any one who knows New Jersey
realizes that public sentiment is

There is striking analogy be.
tween the legislative program Gov
ernor-elect Edwards and the Demo
cratic leaders in the State Senate
and House Of Assembly have laid
out and that actually enacted by
South Carolina eighty-seven years
ago. There is, of course, this differ
ence:
South Carolina defied merely the

sey, if Mr.. Edwards has his way,
will defy both Congress and that
body which, "wet" advocates are

still greater power in this land of

uel Swedenborg and Sir Olive
Lodge came of clerical and not sci.
entific stock. Both Of Sir divers
grandfathers were preachers. The
father Of Swedenborg was Bishop OF
Skars. He believed himself il
constant communication with the
angels. Sir divers ancestors, how
ever, were not mystics. The father
of Swedenborg laid himself open tc
charge of "heresy" because of his
visions. The tastes of the youth
Oliver and the youth Emmanuel rar
to the natural sciences; both were
endowed with unusual intellectual
faculties; both had dislike Of
theology.
Swedenborg published in his thir.
ty-second year scientific periodical
He was a student Of mathematics
inventions and engineering prob
lens. At this very age-thirty-twc
Sir Oliver Lodge was a professor
Of physics at University College
Liverpool. Neither had the slightest
mixing of his extraordinary future
and fame in a realm that was not
only far removed from such material
matters, but was the very opposite
of them.
Swedenborg was, in 1874, mat
ter-of-fact government inspector of
mines. His personality began to ex-
pand, or prepare for psychic som.
ersault, in 1884, when he published a
curious treatise ON the origin OF
things, based on mechanics and ce.
ometry.
Gradually he began to wander in
the region Of the abstract, leaving
bridges, mines and hydraulics be-
hind him. He was in his fifty-sixth
year when his illumination came te
him. In his ffty-sixth year 81,
Oliver Lodge was still writing about
electrons and the properties of cleo
tricity, although, in 1905, in his fifty
fourth year, he had written a criti-
cism Of Haeckel's "The Riddle of the
Universe" He was beginning tc
thaw out.
From the date of "the opening OF
his spiritual sight" swedenborg un-
derwent series of Examinations, y
which resulted in the production of

he Carle Experiment" English Venture in Prohibition S1t;

had more Carlisles 1t would have
waited longer before enforcing pro-
hibition. Here in this northern
city, with its winding, age-worn
streets and picturesque little ivy
covered public houses, is indeed
portrayed the humane tradition
which sweetens this country's con-
tact with the demon rum.
To get back to the origin Of the
idea: In 1916 Carlisle developed
the great Gretna munition works.
And the men who erected those
works and the men who went to
work In them were not teetotalers.
Not by several quarts I'm evening.
And Carlisle staged as undesirable
an exhibition Of inebriety as could
be found anywhere in this tight
little island. The control board laid
heavy hand on Carlisle's bars. At
that time there were 119 public
houses; full every evening in the
week, but having nothing on their
patrons. The board closed fifty of
these with single order. And then
1t set in with the remaining sixty
nine to develop the experiment. :"
The main idea seemed to be the
substitution Of framed engravings
end Whistler prints for flaming
advertisements Of beer and whisky;
fowerpots In place Of cuspidors;
general air Of propriety for the
theoretical atmosphere Of iniquity.
We went on Whist II sometimes

who runs one Of the inns as house-
keeper, under the boards super
vision.
One secret of the control boards
success at Carlisle was that local
members and officials were by no
means teetotalers themselves. In
TACT, they were strongly opposed to
prohibition. But they were also OBJ
posed to overindulgence in alcohol;
in moderation, even if enforced at
first, they see England's salvation
without the burden of prohibition.
They acted not only in connection
with the public houses, when they
began the Carlisle experiment" OF
the city's four breweries they closed
three, leaving one to do the work Of
four, with saving of labor, trac-
ton and time. OF the seventeen
warehouses they left only one, which
does the work Of the lot.
There is always something in
tensely fascinating about the names
adopted, or, more often, handed
down, by owners Of public houses
and inns in England. Take Car
isles supply, for instance: The
Jovial Sailor, the Cumberland
Wrestlers, the Albion, the Carlisle
Arms, the Joiners' Arms, the Fox
and Beagles and the Swan With Two
Necks. Though in external appear
ance and general location they re-
semble nothing SO closely as the late
corner saloon in America, yet they
have titles reminiscent Of Robin
Hood.

those extraordinary books which

been the puzzle of all students Of
psychic phenomena. He "died" at
eighty-four. The mystical cells in
him had conquered completely the
physical groups. Not the triumph
of mind over matter, but Of vision
and\ imagination over both.
The spiritual romance of Sir
Oliver Lodge is not as inspiring or
as fascinating to the average per-
son as the romance of Emmanuel
Swedenborg, because we live in a
more practical, wide-awake age.
But to the connoisseur of minds and
the dilettantes of psychological BIZ
ography it is just as fascinating.
To the imagination whatever is is
wonderful. There is no such thing
as commonplace being - read
Dickens and O. Henry if you think
there is. Sir Oliver Lodges imagi-

an epic. Kings and their doings no
longer interest us. They are pup

A Darwin of Spiritism
A close study of the work of the
Englishman would reveal the fact
that from his earliest years he was,
unconsciously, perhaps, cropping
toward the fantastic, the irreal, the
"spooky." He may be the forerun-
ner of Darwin of spiritism, one
who will unite matter and spirit on
