ELECTION TIME DRAWING NTaB

The time for the September Primary Election is drawing closer, and although the election is one of the greatest importanoe to Cape Hay County, little interest, thus far, has been displayed in it or in the men seeking elec-

tion to the offices to be filled.

The most important office is that of the County Commissioners, three •fwhom will be elected this year. Under the present Freeholder system, erery section of the County is represented on the Board, while under the SmaD Board, or County Commissioner system, three Freeholders will represent the entire County, and these three men may, under the law, eome from any one section of the County if there are enough votes to elect them. Representation cannot be equally divided under the fcwii Board ■ystem, and some sections of the County must necessarily be without local representation. This being so, the next nearest ideal repr—— would be to have one of the three Commissioacrs elected from a county resort one from the mainland and one from a southern county

It would be manifestly unfair to all the rest of the County if all three Commissioners, or even two of them, should cone, for instance, from Wildwood; or from Ocean City, Cape May, the Townships or any other one

section.

And yet this is exactly what KAY happen unless there is some agreement between the voters of the various sections upon some riidryt which will give adequate consideration to the needs of the whole County, and this l ticket, or slate, would be composed of men who axe the very best that | he had regardless of their political faith 01 sffiK.ti*™ H there is to be sane, sensible, impartial county government for the next three years, action must be taken SOON, and in this Bepublicans and Democrats alike should take active part. THE CITY BEAUTIFUL ALMOST RFAT.tvct Sea Isle City is now the city beautiful—almost During the Spring and Summer property owners all ever the resort improved and re-painted their properties until today there is scarcely a houie on the island that does noi look spick and span. New houses have been built where there was before a weed-grown lot, and this has helped in the general effect of beautifying the city. Then, too, more and more property owners are paying to their grounds, and rare indeed is the lot in the central portion of the resort, upon which the grass is not trimmed and the hedge cut anddhe lot generally kept in trim order. ’ The City Commissioners have, in the public property, in the city beautiful idea by taking care of the streets, and in keeping the property in good repair and neat condition. But—and here lies the difference between a really beautiful town and a slovenly one—we still have with ns the unkempt, generally disgraceful railroad lot and coal sheds, in the heart of the business district; there still remains the unsightly, smelly freight station where a park should properly be; and, inddent'y. peanut shells which were thrown on the boardwalk last May appear to be still in the same places where they were thrown. There are many more conditions that could easily be remedied by the proper action at the proper time by persons interested in the resort, either as officials or as just plain, every-day citizens. The City Beautiful—lot’s make it one hundred per cent so.

A HEW DRESS THIS WEEK

Few persons who read a newspaper realize that it, like persons, must have a change of uress. A newspaper’s change of dress is only made as tone and growth require, and when such a change is made, it involves a large expenditure of money and energy. Today the TIMES appears in its third new 4 dress” since the advent of the present ownership and management, and the ‘‘dress” consists of a complete change in the type used for the reading matter. For the past two years the TIMES was set in a smail type, so that more news could be crowded in less space. There was much complaint however, from our readers that the type was too hsid to read, though it was no smaller than that used in many of the Philadelphia and other city newspapers, and this would indicate that many readers depend upon the headlines of their city newspapers for their news rather than upon a aareful reading such as is usually accorded their home-town newspaper. Arrangements have now been made for the hanrilH g 0 f the news in the TIMES, which permits setting it in as large a type as anyone could desire. You are now reading the first issue so set. How do you like it?

Editorial Comment Qranrrt from Our Exchanges

HOW SILLY

The Cape May Star and Wave Company has been for the past yea; or so. publishing a newspaper in Wildwood, called the Wildwood Leader. Now the Wildwood Snn Publishing Company has started one in Cape May, called the Cape May News. How silly for both of them. Both Wildwood and Cape Kay are capable of supporting one really good newspaper, and instead oi giving their home ■ towns such a newspaper, the rival corporations are publishing one in each

other's tenifory!

Both Wildwood and Cape May are splendid, progressive resorts, and are worthy of newspapers in keeping with the size and spirit of the cities. And such newspapers coaid be produced by devoting scattered energies to

the main idea.

WILDWOOD GETS 1923 HOTEL CONVENTION While Wildwood may not be as large as some of the other New Jersey resorts, it makes up In energy and progre-alreness for what It lacks In sire. Wildwood folk went after the MM convention cf the New.Jersey State Hotelmen's Association, and needless to say that they got It. Wildwood is to be congratulated, not only in getting the convention, but also for the progressive spirit that It manlfcjted in seeking the honor, and for the type of boosters that it possesses in such personages af Mayor W. Courtright Smith and members of its delegation to La

liopatcong.

Members of this party of h wires distributed literature and did a lot of “missionary" work, ’/bile the oratory was supplied by the Mayor, who addressed the convention and extended the invitation to meet next year in his home town. Mayor Smith described the beauties gnd adrantages of his city In such glowing erms and painted such a rosy picture of that growing resort, that the ■ could not but accept euch a cordial invitation. We are not unaware of the many plans that Wildwood and Its Board of Trade have on foot for the enlargement and betterment of their city, and we feel confident, that the Wildwood that re-elves and entertains the 1923 convention of the State organization of hotelmen will be a bigger, brighter and better city in many ways than it is today. The spirit of Wildwood appeals to We wish to congratulate the municipality and its citizens and to wish them the utmost success. Jersey Hotel Pilot.
