The Riverside

Tonight and tomorrow night in
connection with vaudeville, Manager
Martin of the Riverside will present
the wonderful picture, "The Official
Exploits of the German Submarine
U.S." The "U-35" was the prize
boat of Germany's under-sea craft.
She scourged the seas and sank mil
lions of tons of enemy or allied ship
ping, before she was finally captured
by some remarkably team work be-
tween Uncle Sans torpedo boat des-
troyers and English battle ships.
Stored away in her lockers were found
these wonderful views of her 6epreda-
tons on the high seas, preserved for
a showing at some future date, when
Germany would rule the world.

methods to instruct them in American
ways Of thinking.

Starts With Hands Free.
As it now stands, Governor Edwards
takes up the exacting duties of the
executive office with hands free to ex.
ercise his full power for demanding
efficient and faithful service upon the
part of ofticeholders. Precisely what
he intends to do was made known in
his inaugural address. His pledges
stand for reforms in the conduct OF
some of the most important branches
Of the state government. He will have
no early fight with the majority In the
legislature, but later on, no doubt, he
will encounter the party hostility, n
this may embarrass him for a time. In
the long run, however, he will have
the consciousness that he is answera-
Bile to the people of the state.
One of the first clashes will come
over the fate of the State Public Utili-
tv Commission, and the new governor
had something to say with respect to
his plans in his address. That he Is.
pledged to remove the board as at
present constituted is very well known
and it was around this body that most
of the storm Of organization day swept
In eddies and swirls. From the hand
of Assemblyman Rowland of Camden
county appeared on the day following
organization a bill providing for the
, election of a new utility board Of three
members by joint session of the legis'
lature.
That Mr.. Rowland comes from Cam.
den county adds to the significance,
and some of those about he State
House who are fond of digging q bit
are specializing as to the real reach OF
the move.
Passaic county, with five members
in the assembly, won the majority a
ership in the choice of Assemblyman
Hirschfield, and it was Passaic that
adhered most tenaciously to the pro-
posed program to tie up the new gov.
erlor Those five votes, however,
would be necessary to the passage of
the Rowland bill, for there are bat 80
Republicans and 81 votes are required
to put across anything. Certainly the
Democrats would not be eager to aid,
although the bill does provide for
minority representation in the propos-
ed new board.
OF ours the governor can do moth
ing toward creating a new body, even
if he removes the present commission,
root and branch, without legislative
enactment. But he could remove the
members and appoint five others of his
own choice. That, however, would en-
countor the senate majority, where all
appointments to commissions must be
confirmed.
The only solution, therefore, would
seem to be a complete understanding
between the governor and those men,
berS who desire a change as to the next
move. If such an understanding be.
ome possible there would be some
chance for the Rowland bill or a COM
plete reorganization Of the Utility
Board upon the present basis
