of the County, and has forwarded this to Mr. Buckalew. It might have been a good plan to incorporate in this letter that everyone of the signers was willing to go to Trenton before the State Public Utilities Commission to compel the West Jersey to give the Ocean City and Stone Harbor divisions the same through train service. Pullman cars and other concessions that are now given to Cape May. It might have been well. also, to include a word that all the signers were wondering what was being done on the matter of the electrification of the Ocean City to Stone Harbor road, and why this matter was so suddenly and unceremoniously dropped.

THE SPEED FIEND

THE PROBLEMS OK A TRACTION

COMPANY.

Both Cape May City and Sea Isle City this year are up against similar difficulties in the operation of their street-cars. Sea Isle City has fared better than Cape May. where the corporation owning the trolley system sold the cars and road-bed for junk, and stopped the operation of the cars. Both companies had been losing money, needed money for road repairs and to coni ic operation. In the case of Sea Isle City the owners of the road, out of civic pride and interest in the welfare of the town, have purchased new cars, selling the old lor made extensive repairs to their road-L :uve the cars now running. This wit n. . - ul any financial return and witii -at any money in the company treasury. * • As a matter of civic pride every person that can conveniently do so, should use the trolley. It is not within the province of a newspaper to boost the interests ol a private corporation, but in the case of the Sea Isle City Traction Company, the interest of the stockholders in the well are ..f the town, which prompted them to go to a heavy expense to get the cars operating thus y ear, deserve* commendation and ear-

nest support.

A business ceases being a business when it does not pay. Its continuation is either a sense of gratification and pleasure to the owner, or a philanthropy. Whether it be one or the other, if the operation is one which cannot be dispensed with by the' general public, and the business interests which serve the general public, then it is deserving of support. That is exactly the case with the local traction company. With only the short summer scaaon to work in. and with the comparatively few persons at both Inlets, the trolleys in Sea We City cannot possibly pay for years to come. It is up to everyone, therefore, to support them as much as possible. Hide whenever possible. Watch the trolley crews and if they are not performing their work for the interests of the Cotnpan.v, report them. Remember that every boost for the trolleys is a bou.-t lor Sea Isle City. THANKS. MR. BUCKALEW. Superintendent Buckalew of the \\e>t Jersey Railroad, has actually done something for Ocean City, Sea Isle Avalon and Stone Harbor. Strange as it may seem to those who a rv familiar with the antagonism of the Superintendent toward some of these resorts, he actually consented to placing an additional smoker on the morning train to Philadelphia, when May or • rumvker. of Sea Isle City, showed him thai an average of two hundred person.- ride on this division to only eighty on the Cape Maydivision. which enjoys better facilities. Overjoyed at Mr. Buckalew'* concession. Mayor CTonecker has luid a letter of thanks signed by about two hundred of the most prominent and mfiuential men of the upper portion

ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME. President Wilson and members of his cabinet .-re reported to be very much vexed over delayin passing the food control bill. If there has been delay, no one is to blame except those who have been endeavoring to secure control over food production, sale, and distribution. There has neen no opposition any place to an effective law which would prevent and punish the hoarding of food for speculative purposes. All the opposition that has been aroused to attempted legislation has been due to those features which contemplated the delegation of autocratic power to bureaucratic officials unknow n to members of Congress and unknown to the people of the United States. In all its efforts to get proper legislation the administration has had the hearty and prompt support of members of the Republican party. In its efforts to get autocratic power, where unnecessary for the accomplishment of results, the administration has had opposition among the members of its own party no less than among Republicans. The charge that the delay is. unpatriotic is untrue. Real patriotism has been manifested by those members of Congress who have guarded well our democratic principles of government without withholding any necessary power the administration should have. THAT CHINESE TARIFF LAW. Japanese commercial interests are protesting against the proposed Chinese tariff law and aver that it is not a mere revenue measure but a protective tariff. Ikies anyone suppose for a moment that Japan is solicitous for the welfare of China? Not at all. Japan realizes that a protective tariff in China will discourage importations and build up Chinese industries, to the detriment of her own trade with that country. Japan looks with disfavor upon a protective tariff in China for exactly the same reason that European countries, and Asiatic countries as well look with disapproval upon a tariff law in America. And fur exactly that reason Americans favor it. WISE OK OTHERWISE. B •♦0.1 Herald—Germany must not make the mistake of thinking that General Pershing is going to dinners indefinitely.
