and then increased. The trend OF
! production in New Jersey has been
upward since 1910, and production
is now on a comparatively high lev
ell. A few figures are given to DEM
onstrate this increase: sse
191o-S1O,0Oo bushels; 1911--440,-

1911. 100000; 1915 ,275, 1000;
A slight drop was shown during
the war years, and then, in 1919,
production jumped again, this time
to 1,653,O00 bushels. The following
year production was 2,134,00 BUSH

increased to within 5000 bushels
OF the 100000 mark. 1t is estl-
mated that this mark was attained

War HySteria Over

Governor Young of California
gives seven reasons for pardoning
Charlotte Anita Whitney, and they
are all good.
Boiled down, however, they
simply mean that in the Governor S
opinion Miss Whitney is not a GRIM
inal and would never have been
tried, much less convicted, but for
abnormal conditions incident to the
war.
1t is impossible to read this brief
but punchful statement without
gaining the impression that he
thinks the anti-syndicalism law,
under which Miss Whitney was con-
victed, should be laid on the shelf.
This country passed lot of fool
ish laws and did lot of foolish
things during the World War.
Miss Whitney's convection and
pardon is just an illustration of the
wild conclusions to which We rushed
in our excitement and of the re-
vision of opinion that now becomes
necessary.
We even insisted that sauerkraut
be called liberty cabbage, as though
that had anything to do with beat
ing the kaiser.

To the Editor:
I see on page in The Times
dated June 9 John l.. Niblacks
statement on the action of Gillioms
announcement that he and Gov
ernor Jackson had violated the In
diana bonehead liquor law" Niblack
says Mr.. Gillioms action was UNI
wise and unpolitic.'
denounce Niblack's statement as
the argument of "hypocrite." 1t
is an old and true saying that IAN
honest confession is good for the
soul" I dare say Gilliom has not
only done his own soul good. but
millions of other good souls besides.
He has shown himself an honest
and fearless man. And his action
has been the hardest blow the IA
natics have received since the en-
actment of this Infamous bonehead
liquor law"
Niblack admits that he. himself,
would have violated the law to get
whisky to save the lives of his dying
children. or even steal a loaf OF
bread to feed them if they were
starving-but he says "he would not
say anything about it," The an
cient law of Moses says Even
though a man steals when he is
hungry. yet he should restore if 1
mistake not four-fold." I dare say
Gilliom could be safely trusted to
keep the just law of good old Mo-
ses, but on the contrary, Niblack
not only says he would steal. but
he would not restore the stolen
goods-no, he would say, nothing
about it.
There are three denominations OF
the earth, that are most generally
found in company with each other,
viz. fanaticism, hypocrisy and dis
honesty. Niblack's confession that
he would not say anything about it,
proves conclusively that he is a
hypocritical fanatic under suspicion
of not being honest.
Again Niblack says our laws
