A SUBSIDIZED COUNTY FAIR Mayor Fitch, of Sea Isle City, made a suggestion well worth considering. at the recent meeting of tie Cape May County Chamber of Commerce, that the County Fair be subsidised by the County itself, and the Fair Ground purchased and made into a public recreatum and meeting centre. Those who have watched the Cape May County Fair for recent yean have noticed its riae and fall and its subsequent rise. Four yean ago the attendance at the Fair was poor, the exhibits were few, and the whole affair badly managed. Then it was taken over, when the Trotters and Breeden’ Association gave tip the ghost, by the County Board of Agriculture and under the direction of this body the Fair has grown until this year it was a real credit to the County. But even yet there is ranch that needs to be done to make it really worth while, and this can only be done by an organization with sufficient finances to put the Fair Grounds and buildings in good condition. The logical organization to undertake this public work is a public one—the Board of Freeholders. With the County, functioning through its Freeholders, as owners of the Fair Grounds, the annual County Fair would be perpetuated and its success, which is of vital importance to the agricultural interests of the County, would be assured. And then, maybe, the fence that encloses the Fair Grounds might pass into history, in line with the County Beautiful idea. Goodness knows— and so does every tourist that travels the Shore road—this is far from a beauty spot now! THE SMYRNA HORROR Blame whom yon will for the Smyrnu horror: the least over here can do is to contribute promptly and generously to the Smyrna Emergency Relief fund. Responding to the request of the State Department to do its utmost, the Hear East Relief advanced $25,000 and then a second $25,000. first in food, medical supplies and stores collected at Constantinople for its regular orphanage work; and since the fire, some steamers besides destroyers have been secured to transport refugees. It is impossible to exaggerate the terrible conditions of the Smyrna, any cable reports The call is to feed temporarily hundreds of thonsandi •f refugees—homeless, helpless men. women and children—and convey them to (daces of greater safety where they will not starve to death or breed pestilence. It should be remembered that the $200,000 appropriated by Congress was for the relief of American citizens only, in Smyrna Heme Americans on the job rightly count on ns folks back home to supply the necessary dollars for this humanitarian service, as we have never failed to do for the honor of oar country's name throughout the world. Send your contributions to the editor of this paper, your mayor or the state treasurer of the Smyrna Emergency Relief. Frederick Frelinghnysen. of Newark.

1TF.AT) TOMLIN Sheriff of Cape May County Three yean ago the voters of Cape May County elected as Sheriff Care May County a younr man who has so capably filled that office It is now a model of efficiency. 1 young man was Mead Tomlin. Cape May Court House. Mead Tomlin U thirty-seven T old. and of that thirty-seven y« thirty-two have been spent In Cape May County. Mr. Tomlin was ucated in the public schools of Court House, being graduated from the Middle Township High SchooL later completed a business course in the Peirce Business College, Phila-

delphia.

Soon after completing hla edut v tlon. Mead became “apprenticed' the late Jesse D. Ludlam. of Cape May Court House, in his title work, and soon became an expert title examiner. which occupation he followed until his selection as Deputy Sheriff under former Sheriff Robert S. Miller. At the time he became Deputy Sheriff he was a member of the Township Committee, of Middle Township. Sheriff Tomlin is an ardent base ill enthusiast, and there la never a game wlthtu hailing distance Court House at which he cannot be heard above all the other rooters.

ELECTION IS OYER—HOW LET US HAVE HARMONY On last Tuesday the Republican voters of Cape May County pronounced their choice of candidates for the various offices to be filled at the General Electios ia November And now that the Primary contest is ended, let us. by ail means, have perfect hannony and give to every nominee a solid Republican support against the common enemy of the two factions of the pasty in Cape May County. Thu candidate, or that one. may not be our personal choice, but if he is the choice el the majority cf the party he represents, it is only fcir and just *ha> the minority should stand solidly back of him Primary elections were designed to give the voters—the people—a chance to select the persons whom they prefer, within their own political party, for the offices to be filled. This selection has now beer. made, and certainly both the factions in this County should be content, for the result was an almost fifty-fifty split between the candidates backed by each of them. Let us have hanuony now—at least until after November seventh. STIRRING UP THE MINISTERS It appears that Governor Edwards started something at the time the ministers of New Jersey appealed to him to stop the Dempsey-Carpentier fight in Jersey City. It seems that the Governor, losing patience with the churchmen, remaiked: “If the Methodist ministers do not like New Jersey let rhem move out of it/' This has led to a concerted move to defeat Edwards for United States Senator. A Inter was read from every pulpit in the New Jersey Conference. urging all members to register and vote for Senator Frelinghuysen for re election and William E. Runyon for Governor, the latter because of hu stand in declaring for enforcement of the prohibition laws.
