Carl Hildreth For Clerk. No announcement of a political nature in recent years has caused more wide-spread interest than the announcement of A. Carton Hildreth as a candidate to succeed himself for the office of| | County Clerk. Tlie interest manifest is not to be wondered at, for Mr. Hildreth’s announcement makes an actuality of something that his countless friends throughout the county had hoped for, and had urged upon him. Perhaps never before in the hundred and twenty-five years that Cape May County has boasted a County Clerk has a more efficient, obliging and better qualified man filled the office than is the present incumbent. . It has long been the belief of the TIMES that the office of County Clerk should be taken out of politics, and should be filled by civil service, the same as o. cr offices and positions that absolutely require a man who thoroughly understands the work, and is qualified to fill the office with assurauce of the greatest satisfaction to the greatest number. There is always danger, by some chance of fate or political pressure, that a man may be elected to such an office who is wholly and totally unfitted to handle it; and thereby the whole community suffers. Here, however, is an opportunity to reinstate one whose ability ha»; been proven by ten years of most courteous service, and whose record as a public official is as white as the driven snow. Small wonder, then, that Mr. Hildreth’s oecision to be a candidate to succeed himself is meeting with such universal and wholehearted approval on every side. 39 to 1. The United States is confronted with - the question whether the judgment of one man is l>etter than that of thirty-nine. President Wilson says that the League of Nations covenant is wisely constructed and that the United States should become a party to it ; also tboi*tbe League of Nations covenant should be incorporated in the Peace Treaty. Thirty-nine United States Senators say that it is not properly constructed, that the United States should not be a party to it. and that in any event the League ol Nations and the Peace Treaty should be considered and acted upon separately Representatives of other nations at the peace conference have had du n notice of the action taken by the thirty-nine Senators. These Sc^av Zi constitute more than the number required to defeat a peace treaty. It follows, therefore, that not only President Wilson but all other participants in the conference are aware that if they combine the League of Nations and the Peace Treaty they take all the responsibility for any delay that may result through the refusal of the Senate to ratify the Treaty. The Peace Conference was called for one single punrose, that of effecting peace between the Central Powers and the Allied Nations. The League of Nations covenant was an extraneous subject gratuitously injected without any sufficient reason whatever. Members of the Senate ’-cry properly protested against it. They will also very properly make their protest effective. Il the Peace Conference delegates will perform their single duty of reaching an agreement by which the slate of wai will be terminated, they will liave performed all that theif several nations called upon them to do. Whether there shall be a League of Nations is a question that can be taken up later if the several nations deem il desirable and expedient. Thrift Turns Savings Into a Home.

What an Owner Cannot do

Beyond a certain point an OWNER cannot regukte the CONTRACTOR he employs. You can cage a leopard, but you cannot change his spots or his point of view. But what an Owner CAN DO is to select, in the first place, a Contractor who has an established reputation for integrity, efficiency and results. Edward B.
