DISPLAY THE FLAG

WILBUR D. NESBIT

Your flag and my flag. And how it flies to-day In your l»nd and my land And half a world away! <ioae-red and blood-red The stripes forever gleam: Snow-white and soul-white-The good forefathers' dream: Sky-Blue and true blue, with stars to gleam aright— The gloried gaidon of the dsy; a shelter through the night. Your flag and my flag! To every star and stripe The drums beat as hearts beat And flfers shrilly pipe! Your flag and my flag— A blessing in the sky; Y'our hope and my hope— It nsver hid a lie! Home land and far land and half the world around. Old Glory hears our glad salute and ripples to the sound! Y'our flag and my flag! And oh, how much H bolds— Y’our land and my land— Secure within its lolds! Y’our heart and my heart Beat quicker at the sight; Sun-kissed and wind-tos.-ed-ited »nd blue and white. The one flag—the great flag—the flag lor me and you . Olorifled nil else beside—the red and white and blue! |

An Increase In the Official Family This week two new uicmbcts were added to the L ' < May County Hoard oi I-Urholders, from the newly incorporated City ol Noith Wildwood. If the lower part of the County can h"ld its Freeboldcrs, togethes, this will give them eight members to six from the upper section, and thus settle any matter uudci debate in any manner that best suits the lower county. It is understood that the borough of Wildwood Crest will now also incorporate as a City. If this is done two members from that municipality will be added to the Hoard, giving it sixteen members, o! winch ter .could be from the section of the County below Cape May Court House. The TIMES is 01 the opinion that sectionalism is fast being wiped out, and that a better feeling now exists between the various municipalities of the County than ever bciore. At least recent events would seem to indicate that this is so. With the Board of Freeholders equally divided as to sections, six from upper and six from lower county, it seemed that all sections had an equal chance in County matters. The additiou of two uew members to the Board, and the prospect ot two more within the next mouth or ' >, puts a difhaent aspect on the matter, however, and the actions of the lower county contingent will U- watched with interest. Much depends ou them—the-. .11 continue the harmouv that now exists. 01 can create the must bitter internal strife and sectional iccling; they can honestly represent their respective communities, and yet be fair to the other parts o: the County, or they can be selfish and get the bulk of the county improvements on their side of the “fence.” It is up to them. It has been said that the small board movement last year was merely an attempt ou the part of lower Cape Mav County to get control of the Board or Freehr*deis. With the new additions to the Board they have control anyhow. Wether or not this thought had some rnduence on the action of North Wildwood in incorporating as a City, and Wildwood Crest follow ing its example, remain* to be seen.

Aaron Godfrey Rice In the untimely death of Aaron Godfrey Rice, on Monday last, Cape May County lost one of its finest citizens. Of Mr. Rice it could' be truly said that he was universally loved and respected, and today from Cape May Point to Beealeys Point, the entire length of the County, are scores, yes hundreds, who mourn the passing of a kindly, loyal and gentle friend. Bom in Cape May County, at Swainton, and a life long resident; receiving his education, his business training and living his business life in the County. Mr. Rice had formed countless staunch friendships, from boyhood up through the years that saw him reach the heigth of business success. There is possibly no man within its acquaintance, that the TIMES had more genuine admiration and respect for, than Mr. Rice. Always genial, with a good word for everyone; always ready and willing to assist in every community enterprise; throughly honest in all business dealings; progressive and modern in Ins business and civic ideas, an example of all that was fine and noble in bis personal life, Mr. Rice was one of tb'- rare personalities that one meets once in the course of a lifetiuW, and is the belter for having known. v* The TIMES feels that in the death of Aaron Godfrey Rice. Sea Isle City, and Cape May County generally, suffers a less that can never be repaid. His influence, his quiet dignity and consequent power, his optomistic, exemplary life, his devotion to his home, bis town and county, made him a man whose passing will leave gap in the community that will call forth all the resources of Father Time to fill

Get Rid of the Dogs Now that planting time's here, and many people are trying to carry out the request of the Government and the State authorities, and have back-yard vegetable gardens, the ever re-occuring problem of dogs running at large confronts us. If there is one place more than another in which dogs like to disport, it is in freshly dug up soil. And if seeds have been planted, the sport is. still better, and the digging is deeper. But if the seeds have germinated and the tender sprouts are poking their heads above the ground, our yellow pup is in his glory, and soon all the loose dogs of the entire neighborhood will be having a royal time in our back-yard. The patriotic citizen who is laboring zealously to develop his bit of beach sand into a productive garden, has two ways of avoiding this: he can either fence in his iot, which is a costly proposition, or he can appeal to the civic authorities and COMPEL then to er force the STATE law, and kill on sight any canine running at large, unless properly licensed when the owner is responsible. The TIMES has had several complaints from back-yard farmers in the past three weeks over this dog trouble. We advised them that the remedy was in their own hands: Appeal to the civic authorities for help, and they failing to respond, KILL any dog trespassing on your property. This would soon end dog troubles. Spy BUI Condemned Opposition of newspapers to that feature of the espionage bill which would be a menace to freedom of speech and of the press, is not due to selfish interest. The interest of the newspaper is exactly identical with the interest of all the people of the country. Most editors have no desire to publish facts regarding public affairs w hich would jeopardize the welfare of the nation. Nor do the people desire that such information shall be published. But newspaper readers, as well as editors, desire that the law shall not be so drawn as to preclude or hamper the publication of legitimate news and discussion regarding public affairs. It is not at all tc the credit of the administration that it fathered an espionage bill which has met the universal condemnation not onlv of editors but of labor leaders and many others who arc accustomed to discuss public issues. Oue inevitable effect will be to cause people to scrutinize most carefully every measure proposed bv the Departments and tending to vest them with increased discretionary powers. A met icans do not intend to fight for democracy in Euiope and foifeil it here. It's a fact. I'nited States Metchantmau fires fust shot and sinks German submarine. And it didn't happen "oft the South Jersey Coast” either. ‘ Married in haste, repent atlcasure " as Mrs. Bertram Bew, the seventeen year-old Avalon bride, will testify.
