What the Chanber Has Done At the request of the Slate Chamber of Commerce, the Cape Mat Cunrty Chamber has submitted a icpcrt on its accomplishments for thc past year. The report, loyclhct with those of othei trade and business laaites of the State is published in the .V... Jet»yStaU Rfworth, the official organ o! the Chambei, and should be intercstiuK to those in the County who arc not yet fully familial with the jyieat woik the Chamber is earn ing ou. Th •ej.^.t follows: “Perhaps the one great thing that the Cape May County Chamber of Commerce has accomplished in the past teat was the entire elimination of the sliong sectional feeling that existed between the up]«i }>oiiiou and the lower portion of Cape M?) Count) . Membership in the Chamber is composed ol the lluaid* of Trade of every municipality in the county, and the getting together of the mem be is of these live trade bodies, each a booster for its partvular community, has helped the two factions, 01 sections, iu the County to understand each other belief. “Actual accomplishments were “Thesecuring ol appropriation from the board of Freeholdi:s of the County of $5,000 for advertising the advantages of ’'sc County in the newspapers of the Last, under the advertising law which the Cbamlvi with the aid of the State Chamber, had passed dining the 1015 session of the Legislature. "The buildiug ot a $70,000 load, and $130,000 bridges to connect Ocean City w ith Sea Isle City, ever three inlets; a direct result 01 the work ot the Chambei. and the first link iu all Ocean Boulevard n> councct each of the Seaside icsoits in the Count) by a diiect auto unite. “An appropiiation of >i<',00c for mosquito elimination, to be spent in 1917. and an appropriation of $*,500 from the State for the same purpose. This woik is now going on, and is in second year, a similar appropriation having been made, aud sjHint to good effect, last year “The promise hoiu the Philadelphia news-

papers to discontinue the publication of such news of war dangers off the Cape May County Coast, as would cause Philadelphians to think the County resorts were unsafe and open to attack from enemy war-ahips. This action was taken because of the published statement that German submarines were seen a few miles off the coast, causing a great many cottage renters to iudiat-on ‘war clauses' being inserted in their leases for the season.'’

A Better Method

Senator McLean of Connecticut proposes that members of the Cabinet shall have the privilege of attending sessions of Congress and that they shall- have the consequent duty of answering questions regarding executive policy. This is a copy of foreign practice in countries where the Cabinet is a ministerial agent of a parliamentary majority, and it would be of only slight value in this country, where Cabinet officeis are beyond the control of Congress except through the stigmatizing process of i in peachI menL Yet the fundamental idea of Senator McLean’s proposal is a good one—and it can readily be carried into effect by adopting the Weeks-Madden resolution for the establishment j of a joint committee on the conduct of the war.

This, in fact, would be the better method. Such a committee could interrogate a member of the Cabinet and could obtain from iiim the infornution which they, as representatives of Congress, would like to have. They could thin out the wheat from the chaff, of which latter in the case we have cited there would doubtless be a great deal, and they could then lay the facts before Congress without the commotion and distraction which woujd be created by a ministerial

interpellation in either chamber.

The committee, also, could convey to a member ol the Cabinet the views of Congress to much better effect than could the whole body of Congressmen acting in open session, aud the interchange between the legislative and executive branches of the government would be freer aud more helpful under the committee system than under the McLean plan. The latter suggestion is valuable chiefly as indicating that in Congress there is a developing feeling that there should be a closer co-ordination of the two branches of the government and we hope that the McLean resolution will not be burned in committee, but that it will be brought out and debated—to the end that some action may be taken in order to dear the air of the capital of the rumor and suspicion which now assail everyone who goes

there even casual!)'.

President Wilson lias issued an api>cal to the housewh-es of the nation to consei ve the food supply, and certaiutly no better way could be thought of than by the purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables when these are in season, and canning or drying them for use during the winter, when prices arc high and the supply is short.
