DISPLAY THE FLAG

DP. WAY IN FRANCE. Cape May County may well be proud of her ^ eon, D~. Clarence W. Way, who is now First Lieutenant in the United States Arm}’, in France. Dr. Way left some months ajjt* for a three months stay in the medical service, at the American Hospital, in Paris, France After his departure, America entered into the world conflict, and immediately Dr. Way applied, and received, his commission as an army officer of* high rack. In a letter, published in this issuer Dr. Way £ives a graphic word-picture of some of the thrilling experiences he has had while far away from the battle line, and comp&rath ely safe in Paris. A little further in his letter, however, he says that he will soon leave for the front, and from the manner in which he a^ys it, it appear?- he is eager to get there. Service in Paris, far removed from the danger of the enemy’s guns, is one thing, and service at the front is quite another. It has been said that the danger to physicians at the front is greater than to the soldiers themselves, as not being in the trenches, they are more exposed to the enemy’s fire. Dr. Way’s sction in joining the army shows a fine degree of patriotism, and his willingness, and even eagerness, to get lo the front should be an inspiration to others, some of whom, perhaps, are being drafted into service and compelled to fight against their will.

THE CHAMBER CONVENTION. Next Tuesday the Cape May County Chamber erf Commerce holds its third annual convention, marking the beginning of its fourth year as a County body, workiiig at all times for the best , Interests of the County as a whole. The Chamber is unique and is perhaps the Only organization of its kind in this section of , the Country, though in the South and Middle West County organisations are numerous and strong- The object of the Chamber is to bring 1 rxmth, from September to ' iness and professional men 1 if the County, to discuss : waters conducive to the County’s good. The first year of it* organization was up-hill j cork, anti the meetings were not always so well 1 lUended a* they* might have been, and the nflueiue of the Chamber as an organization | raa practically ail The second year things I look a turn, however, ami the voice of the reive* an attentive ear from the powers that »e. The third year this also applied, and It is | afe to assume that after three successful years i he fourth, to open next Tuesday, wili be men :

together once June, the lead from every *

on Tuesday, and then attend the regular monthly meetings. Only by united effort, with all working harmoniously, can the greatest good to. the greatest number be accomplished by the Chamber. »

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES. In announcing his candidacy for the United States Senate to succeed Senator William Hughes, Austen Colgate has taken time'by the forelock. The election does not take place until one year from next November and much may happen in the meantime. There will be other contenders for the lytse. Many of Governor Edge's friends hope that he will become a candidate, but thus far the Governor has said nothing to indicate his intentions. He is devoting his entire tiiae to aiding the national administration in the prosecution of the war and is leaving nothing undone to this end that comes within the scope of his official powers. As a war Governor he ie a pronounced success. If he cherishes any Senatorial aspirations he certainly is not permitting them to interfere with his duties as Governor. Allusions in unfriendly newspapers to the unpopularity of the new road law are signs that the possibility of Edge’s candidacy is both recognized and feared. The road law issue is mostly spent powder. It has been overshadowed by others of more vital importance to the nation. Unless there shall be a sudden termination of the war his record as a war Governor one year hence will count vastly more in Edge’s favor with the voters than any dissatisfaction with the road law will against him. Governor Edge is stronger today than he was a year ago and he is daily growing in public esteem because he is steadfastly devoting his whole time and his whole mind to the business of the State and of the country and letting his political future take care of itself.—Newark Sunday Call

WHAT IS OUR LIMIT OF CREDIT? Imports of gold into this country since we became belligerent total $214,000,000. And the entire amount of gold brought in since the war in Europe began is $1,677,000,000. The Journal des Debats, an influential Parisian newspaper now tells us that we can expect no more gold from Europe, that we must ask for no more, that our position as a nation at war with Germany compels us to furnish to our European allies all the cred'U they may require, and that we shall be held ungenerous and slackers if we fail in this regard. Simultaneous with this the British Parliament is discussing fiscal legirlation which indicates a purpose to seek a billion and a quarter of dollars from America. All this points to a condition where our legislators and financiers should be seeking an understanding, between themsdves and with toe governments of our allies—to say nothing of the people of the United Stat-^s. There must somewhere be a limit to our ability to produce money, whether for our own use or for that of our allies. If prices are to be regulated, profits depleted, production diminished and taxation increased— while at the same time we are to be drained in credit for the benefit of European nations with whom we stand—what will the end be? The time to consider these problems is now, before conditions have become acute; and not after futile trial of vague expedients has depleted all cur productive capacities.

PITY THE POOR FARMER. Mr. F. Z. H. von Engelken criticizes the farmers of America, who stand, he declares, at the foot of list of subscribers to the Liberty Loan. Mr. von Engelken was once the Director of the Mint. He is now the head of a Federal Land Bank. He represents the udministratioa attitude of mind toward the farmers of the country. They are expected to plant increased acreage of all staple CtOfK, to work harder th-n they ever have, to pay higher wages to more inefficient labor, to accept lower prices for their products—and to subscribe handsomely to each installment of bonds "which the war will produce. The fanners of the land voted freely for Mr. Wilson last November because he “kept us out of war” and because he was under virtual pledge to continue to Jo so. Being “kept yut of war”, the farmer had an eager customer in each of the Allies, and he received bumper prices for bumper crops. Now he is menaced by commandeering, threatened with price-fixing. :.nd scolded because ne doesn’t come across with the coin. Pity thefjoor farmer—who evidently h;is not yet learned to apply the remedy’ which is in his own hands, namely, the vote.
