Restoration of Enemy Property

The aggregate of alien enemy prop
erty seized in the United States dur
ing the war and returned under the
act of Congress restoring the rights
of American-born wives of Germans
and Austrians already has reached a
value of $117, 100000, and claims are
said to be coming in at the rate of
forty of fifty a week, so that the final
total cannot now be estimated.
The figures to date represent more
than twenty per cent. of the entire
value of enemy property seized and
it is considered possible that ulti-
mately they may equal fully a third
and may approximate fifty per cent,
leaving not more than $500 100000 as
the sum total of German and Austrian
investment or accumulation in this
country, very little enemy holdings
having escaped the fine raking of the
government agencies.
Is it to be assumed that Dan Cupid
was inveigled into the employ of the
German strategists in their plottings
to secure a hold on the essential in
dustries of the United States? Or is
the fact that these extensive holdings
were merely subjected to suspicion be-
cause of the company their owners
chose?
The seizure under the alien enemy
property act totalled a little over half
a billion dollars. If the principle IN
DERIVING the "American-born wives"
act finally shall be extended to all
such property in custody, in accord
ance with the traditional property
of aliens, there is not likely to be left
a very large sum on which to base a
trade credit which has been proposed,
or an excessive guarantee for the set
tlement of the claims of American
citizens against Germany.-Philadel-
phia Paper.

Right To Seize Germany Securities
Is Upheld

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Supreme
Court today upheld the authority Of
the Alien Property Custodian to seize
securities deposited in this country by
the German insurance companies to
protect American policy holders. The
Court said there could be 10 doubt
that the Trading with the Enemy act
authorized such seizure.
Suits were brought by the Metro
politan and Central Union Trust Com
panies of New York and by James
Speyer, Frank A. Vanderlip and others,
as trustees, to determine the question
of the Alien Property Custodian's au-
thority. The appeals were based on
the ground that the securities con-
stituted a trust fund which was in the
hands and under the exclusive control
of Americans, for the protection of
Americans, and further that the de-
post Of the securities had been re-
quired under the laws of various
States.

Legal Jockeying or Justice

Has Salem County Courts become
a place for legal jockeying of lawyers
for high fees or a place for the e V
citation of truth in regards to high
crimes and misdemeanors dispensed
to wrong doing? Is an attorney for a
client a part of the Court to reveal
all the truth possible to establish
equity and justice, or is he legal
~legerdemain to win cases by technical
tricks and get big fees for winning
them?
Is a Juror supposed to consider the
evidence and the character of the wit
nesses who give it or is he supposed
to considered the friendship or favor
of an attorney or the fear of person
or his friends who may retaliate II
Justice is administered? Is a juror
expected to have a knowledge of right
and wrong and a conscience, moral
backbone to see that high crimes and
misdemeanors are punished for the
upholding of law and order and pro-
lection of society, or is he presumed
to favor local or friendly attorneys to
get prestige and fees, and expect
future favore because of some minor
future favors because of some minor
his consciences?
Is the moral fabric of society as
revealed in jurors called to decide
justice becoming lower and more
susceptible to influences other than
eveidence produced in Courts, or is the
moral standard rising?
The editor of the Record is very
ignorant in regards to legal lore and
ethics and asks a few questions for
information, hoping some with more
experience in County Court procedure
give enlightenment. Correspond
ence solicited.

New Jersey Legally Dry

The political 1ops of New Jersey
from a 'dry'' legislature elected in
1918 to a "wet' in 1919, thence to an
extra dry one in 1920, shows the
whims of voters. With a large for
eign element accustomed to drinks
and an investment of IA million dol
lars in breweries, licensed hotels and
saloons, it may be expected that New
Jersey would have a large vote and
prestige for the liquor interest ready
to turn for the qualification of appe-
titles and money profits as was done
in the election of Edward l. Edwards,
Governor, in 1919.
Most Democrats voted for him for
other reasons than because he de-
clared against prohibition which had
been put into the U. S. Constitution,
because the thoughtful and consider
ate knew he could not return legal
liquors.
The Gov. Edge-Republican propo-
sition to give a free bridge over the
Delaware river between Camden and
Philadelphia and a free tunnel under
the Hudson river by taxing all prop
critics in New Jersey was a bigger
proposition than a fake liquor issue.
1t had the opposition OF the rallfoads
and ferry companies which did not
want free competition. 1t had the
favor of the big bankers who wanted
to loan 20 million dallors and get that
amount in interest on the bonds. The
users of the bridge and tunnel will
pay the interest.
However much Gov. Edwards sin
cerely believed he could turn back the
prohibition tide by a victory partly OF
another issue, the reaction on the
liquor question came strong when the
foreign element in the State turned
last November on their stronger pro-
German and anti-British hatred on
national issues and elected a strong
prohibition Legislature which forever
settled the legal standing of the State
last Monday night by voting to repeal
the $50 beer law, which never amount
ed to anything, and adopted the ma
ttional prohibition amendment.

Already a Super Senate

In suggesting a body of thirty men
to have charge hereafter of foreign
affairs, Mr.. vanderlip says that it
might be called a Super-Senate." But
he has been anticipated. The thing
we already have. It is to be
found in the Senate's committee on
Foreign Relation. This consists of
seventeen members. AS the Demo-
cratic Senators DO not count, control
lies with the ten Republican senators
a majority of them would be six.
These six-say, Lodge, Borah, Bran
degee, Knox, johnson, Moses-realy
decide everything. They set aside the
President. They dictated to the SEN
ate. Naturally, six can do it better
than thirty could. And II n We're
to charge them with setting them
selves up rs. a Super-Senate, they

ing responsibility upon county prose-
cutors to do their work. This neglect,
which amounts to non-resistance in
office, is especially marked in such
cities as Newark, Jersey City, Ho-
boken, Bayonne, North Hudson towns,
Tie Oranges, Paterson, Passaic, Eliza
beth, New Brunswick, Railway, Perth
Amboy, Trenton and Atlantic City.
Responsibility
The Primary Responsibility rests
with the Mayor and the Police Depart
ment.
The Prosecutor of the Pleas also
shares in his responsibility. Accord
ing to Section 100 of the Criminal Pro-
cedure Act, at shall be the duty of
the Prosecutor of the Pleas to use all
reasonable and lawful means for the
detection, arrest, indictment and con-
viction of offenders" AS a States
attorney, he is responsible to protect
the majesty of the law when local
officials connive with l~awbreakers.
This was well illustrated in Atlantic
City. The Commissioner of Public
Safety permitted d~isorderly condi-
tons, and open Sunday saloons. Pros
ecutor Clarence L. Cole did his sworn
| duty, and after Judge Charles s.
Moore had sent a few saloonkeepers
to Jail, there was no further trouble.
The Sheriff also has complete power
to enforce the law.
The Governor is responsible as a
last resort. The Constitution clothes
him with authority and declares that
she shall take are that the laws are
faithfully executed" In cases of an
archy, refusal of local officials to en-
force the State law, or notification of
State laws, it is his duty to intervene,
and as a commander-in-chief of the
army, he may detail militia to do the
work, just as the Mayor may detail
police.
The Federal Government also has
authority everywhere, but New Jer-
sey ought to be ashamed to lie down
and ask the Nation to make her citi-
zens behave.

Conditions In New Jersey

An Enquiry Made at close of first
three months of 1920 showed vast i'm
provement in criminal, economic and
social conditions: Four County jails
were empty; many criminal dockets
had no cases; two Warehouses were
closed; Passaic County saved $500, 900,
and Ocean County $1,000 00, estimated
cost of new jails; while the Bergen
County Sheriff recommended new jail
be remodeled into an apartment house.
The Labor Situation was complicat-
ed with an ante-war unsettled condi-
tons; nevertheless, employers report
ed reduced absenteeism, general eff
cheney uplift, fewer accidents, improv-
ed morale, fewer quarrels, families
more contented, etc.
1t must be borne in mind that dur
ing these three months not an official
hand was lifted to enforce the law,
and-from Governor to Constable
official New Jersey was working to
bring the law into d~isrepute, and the
Federal arm was likewise impotent.

Brighter Prospects Ahead

New Jersey has with an overwhelm-
ing Voice Condemned the notification
of Governor Edwards, who promised
the saloonkeepers that he would pro
tect them from the effects Of uncon-
s~ented-to s%umptuary legislation"
otherwise expressed as a determine
ton to "make New Jersey as wet as
the Atlantic Ocean,"
Monday, January "a, the House Of
Assembly took action or a resolution
to ratify the Prohibition Amendment,
and, on a bill to repeal Governor Ed
wards $50 per cent. beer law.
Every Church ought to give its
prayer and influence for their unani-
nous passage, and should have repre-
sentatives in the House of Assembly.

LAW AND ORDER

Governor Edwards did one good act
when he designated last Sunday as
Law and Order Sunday and requested
all ministers to preach an appropriate
sermon on Law and Order. 1t is a wise
suggestion, but the ministers did not
need it because every true minister is
the personal embodiment of the civil
and moral laws and live the good life.
Very few in their congregations
needed the rmo because they
obey the civil and moral laws.
James K. Shields, superintendent of
the N. J. Anti-Saloon League, sent out
literature covering the subject, as

New Enforcement Code

A Strong Prohibition Enforcement
Code has been prepared by a COM
mittee of the ablest and most expert
enced lawyers in the State, of both
parties, and it is confidently expected
that it will pass with a large majority.
This act places the responsibility for
enforcement in the hands of regularly
constituted authorities, at the expense
of the law-breakers; and is believed
to be the most effective prohibition
law ever drawn.

Worse Menace To The Community

Worse Menace To The Community
II beg leave to suggest that these
conditions are but the natural result
of the public expression by some OF
our public officials of their contempt
for the law of the land. Such express
sions are equivalent to an invitation
to evilly disposed persons to violate
any part of the law which may chance
to interfere with their pecunlary
profit or their criminal relations.
These persons can hardly be blamed
if they conclude that officials who
proclaim their contempt for certain
laws will display little, if any, energy
or enthusiasm in the enforcement of
any laws. Some classes of law-break-
ers are less dangerous to civilized
society than the officials who thus
give the impression to criminals that
violations Of the law will be condoned
or overlooked. The worst menace to
the community is the official who
winks at wrong-doing.'-George s
Hobart, Speaker in address to House
of Assembly.
This Way Leads To Anarchy.
at is a most dangerous condition
when laws can be broken without pun,
ishment. 1t leads to contempt ano
disrespect for all laws; if one man can
DEFY one law, another man a defy
another law and there is no settled
law and order. This way leads to an
archy.y-Justice James F. Minton.

Local and County Officials

For The First Six Months not a
local or County official lifted a hand,
the sentiment being, as was expressed
by enc County Prosecutor, "Let the
Federal Government skin its wv cat!'
Then the Anti-Saloon League struck
again with publicity, reminding prose-
cutors that New Jersey law made the
sale of liquor without a license a
crime, and urging Supreme Court JUS
ticei / o so charge Grand Juries. The
Justices responded ~splenditly, and, as
q result, in nearly all counties there
has been activity, and hundreds of in

Reaction Sets In

Next Followed a Period of Reac-
ton caused primarily by the Federal
Administration issuing, without au-
thority of law, permits to sell liquor
at wholesale. The Volstead Act only
authorizes such permits to wholesale
druggists to sell to retail druggists.
In New Jersey only 448 retail drug
gists took out permits, and 225 whole
salers were authorized to supply them
n wholesaler for every two retailers.
Of these retail druggists only Is per
cent. bought in New Jersey.
These wholesale permit holders
were chiefly saloonkeepers still in
business in the larger cities; some
were gamblers, and dive-keepers;
some were located in the residences

fraction of these properly quail
