WILLIAM H. CAMPBELL

Director of Finance of Ocean City William H. Campbell, the "watchdog" of the Treasury of America's Greatest Family Resort, was born In Gibson Creek. Atlantic County, in 1862. and has been in Ocean City tor

the past twenty-live years.

Mr. Campbell was educated In the public schools of Atlantic County, and for fourteen yean taught school. He also served as Assessor prior to

coming to Ocean City.

Almost since his arrival In tilts County. Mr. Campbell has been engaged In the retail hardware buainess. He was also a member of the Arm of Dixon and Campbell, lumber dealers, for six yean and organised the Consumen lee Company, which after twelve yean under Ms direction was sold to the South Jersey Ice

GIVE THEM THE LIMIT

Unannounced and unheralded, the contractor on the Corson's Inlet bridge repain on Wednesday cut off the Middle Thoroughfare bridge, and dozens of antoists were compelled to turn back when confronted by

the barrier placed across this bridge.

The TIMES has no objection to the bridge being shut of. if necessary, for a period of time to complete there repairs, but we do consider it an absolute outrage to a long suffering public, insofar as this piece of work is concerned, to shut off the bridge without notice of any kind. On the Btrathmere side of the bridge there is a bridge tender paid by the County, who could easily tell passing motorists, going north, to turn back, and

even this would saved many miles of needless travel.

The policy of the contractor on this work, however, has consistently been of the “public be damned” variety. The work was to have been

completed on Inly first of this year, and now December first is looming m May. 1916. Mr. CwnpbeU waa ... .. j v * elected Director ol Revenue and FI- «, With th« T0.6 U«t Oil , , nance, of Ocoan City, and In NowttThe contract on this work provided a penalty of $20 per day for non- ^ of the foUowiQC r ^ T el<wt *j completion. The least that the Board of Chosen Freeholders can do, to t0 , he Democratic Bute Committee,

satisfy the demands of common decency and fair play, is to exact the full

penalty from the contractor.

liberality in dealing with contractors is well enough if the contractor shows just a little disposition to treat the public fairly. But when tactics are used such as have been used on the Corson’s Inlet work, they

should be given the limit in penalty. WHOLESALE D0UBLE-CB08SIHG

When this latter concern went tato the hands of the receivers. Mr. Campbell was appointed by the court as Receiver and Is still acting in that

capacity.

Mr. Campbell has two hobbles: is fishing and the other is quoit pitching. And those who know say

he Is expert In both.

The political campaign, which ended with Tuesday’s election, was an eventful one in many ways, and the wholesale doable-crossing of certain Republican County candidates by party leaders was not the least of these. On the surface everything was serene in the Republican ranks. Both factions apparently were cemented solidly together for the success of the entire ticket. Bat underneath the old sore of the Primary fight was still festering, and early on election day broke forth in orders from certain County leaden to “cut” Mayer Joseph G. Champion and George Bedding,

in favor of the Democrats.

These omen had the effect of cutting down the plurality of these two candidates but contrary to expectations, they pulled through. It is truly unfortunate that this situation developed at the last minute for it is certain to have the effect of placing both factions farther apart Mil well, though, that ends well, and Cape May County’s voters on Tuesday placed into office as fine a set of men as ever aspired to political office. From them Cape May County will expect big things—and will get them. 4.,*^

A BOULEVARD TO THE SEA

With the opening of the newly widened and improved section of the White Horse Pike, between Camden and Berlin, there is provided a continuous, new. hard-surface highway, of sufficient width to handle the vast volume of motor traffic between Philadelphia and Atlantic City.

testimony to the entire willingness of the United States to co-operate in | efforts for world peace, and to the effectiveness of American action while

this country is free from foreign entanglements.

Secretary Weeks expresses what is in the minds of all true Americans when he says, "I am personally in favor of doing everything practicable to bring about the industrial rehabilitation of Europe. We have already presented to Europe a definite plan for the reduction of naval armaments and are more than willing to co-eperate with Europe in preventing future wars. But Americans do not understand European polities. Let us help

wherever we can. but never mix in the affairs of Europe."

WALL STREET HO SHIBBOLETH

A prominent Atlantic County banker recently declare' 1 that the time is past when talk °gainst Wall street will carry elections. Well, no more past now than it has always been. The Bryan campaigns against McKinley were chiefly on the Wall street issue, and McKinley won. Although Bryan has pictured Wall street in various rolls in antigonism to the welfare of the country, he has never been able to carry an election on

that issue.

In fact, we do not recall an instance in which an anti-Wall street candidate has won a Presidential election. The people of this country can see through political buncomb with a fair degree of discernment. The country is no more against Wall street than it is against Main street. If there are wrongs and abuses, the country is against them, but it has never been unreasonable in seeking to eradicate the wrongs. PUBLIC DUMPIHG CAH The poor newspaper is the public dumping can.
