New Jersey Is "Wet
AS Atlantic" Says
Visitor In Letter

A letter from an acquaintance who
is sojourning in the East indicates
that Governor Edwards succeeded in
making New Jersey as wet as the
Atlantic ocean," and that, it has been
developed within the last few days. is
a good deal wetter than was hitherto
suspected. The writer says:
SAY. just one word more: they are
selling Az per cent beer and all kinds
of cordials and whiskey just as if
prohibition had never been thought
of: it is sure a dead letter here; have
had a talk with the barkeep and he
told me that it is costing the pro-
prietor about 5000 a month. The
price of beer is 20 cents a glass of
pretty good size, and whiskey is %
cents for two fingers-not SO bad.'
The writer is stopping at Hoboken,
which he says is close enough to New
York and is much quieter.
