As a result the tax rate has steadily climbed, taxes remained unpaid, and the City was rapidly on the decline. With harmony in the City floiernmrnt, with the aflaii. oi the City placed on a business-like and efficient basis, with exiieu»ea pruned, Sea Isle City will soon regain its lost ground, and make rapid progress. We have no fault to find with the old Cowmissiouers, one of whom, at least, prank W. Fowkts, was a thoroughly capable and efficient ofheia 1 Hut for certain reasons, too well known lobe again chronicled, many of om proj*r1y owners and tax]M\rr*, were losing confidence and Sea Isle City was slipping.

We look to the new Commiteonen to *upply St ouce two very mceasaiy things that aie immcdiatly before us. One i' Cit advertising in the DCWfpnpcis of the big cities, especially Pliiladclphia.

And in the meantime food spec iiatots is cr6e* to still further eerier themselves are getging the very bearvLjocd oct « the American people in forcing the price of the r ecesdi’ies of life np to ssch an extent that the very problem <-f sostainence to person-* of moderate means is becoming desperately serioosTbcre is no reason whatever—y et—for these great advances in the price of food-stdb that have been oecnring since the announcement of our entry into the war with Germany. We are not immediately up against any fotd shortage. Tnat is yet to come, and at the same rate of increase in the cost of foods that ha* occnred in the past few weeks, when this shortage actually does take place, the price of food will ha\e advanced to far that millions of women and children will be in actual banger. If the price of foods were advanced for any just reason it would be a different matter. But Americans, supposedly loyal to their country ami highly resjuxted in their coni muni ties, are really worse than the most treacherous German pro’iagandist. The latter we would hang if be were ton ml out—the former we condone and call ••American.” Patriotism is a splendid thing—and the American people are patriotic. But ;atriouam has iu limit*. We arc only at the beginning of the war-time high cost of living and when a people axe htfbgry, the appeasement of their human wanu comes before anything else. The solution lies with the authorities at Washington. Lei there be no costly and foolish ••investigation." Let the government cotnandeer all food supplies, and supervisetheir distribution. That Would do more to help win the war than many other matted over which the Government is no* greatly concerned. it is understood that Gen. Goctluds is onwilliug to unde'Uke the job of hatching out • flock of wooden jitney merchantmen as the Shipping Board desires. He has concluded that such ship- would soon be shaken to pieces by the vibration of their engines and that the only thing to use is steel a* structural material. There is no doubt that standardized steel parts for ship* can be prejared almost as juickly as wooden paiu can and it is certain that such ships would be ur ui'ue serviceable. Tlie Shipping Hoard, made op a* it i« of men who know nothing about shipping was doubtless dreaming of the good old days of the clipper ship—just as many members ot Congress have been dreaming • bout the good old days of the volunteer. The French mission to this country lias no hesitation in declaring ils opinion that Amciiran troops on the fighting line will have a great effect, morally if not numerically, in bring ng the war io a success‘ul close. Col. Kooacvelt can provide the men for such an expedition in short order and that, too, without disturbing the plans ol the administration for a dialled army. The rr**ons which arc advanced lot the administration's refu al to permit the Colonel to go ahead are not creditable. There can be no monopoly ot glory iu this war. The Colonel could nat monojHjlixe it; the President should not attempt to do Ml.
