EESOSTS TO

SUIT ALL TASTES The waters of the Atlantic Ocean that wash the shoi South Jersey, from Briyantine to Cape May Point, Is the same at each resort, but their similitude ends with that. It may not have struck the average person very forcibly, but each of our South Jersey resorts has its own Individual characteristic and every

taste can be met.

Exclusive, aristocratic Cape May, which now appears to nave felt the wonderful wave of progress sweeping the entire coast, has elected to maintain Its exclusiveness, to be a “different kind of resort,” and there the “exclusive” can find Just the atmosphere they seek. A few miles sway the quiet home-lover will find at Wildwood Crest a place that will meet his every wish. At Wildwood the gay. pleasureseeking cosmopolitan crowds find entertainment to their liking. While Stone Harbor and Avalon cater to the vacationist who seeks a restful, quiet place, where the whole family may enjoy the pleasures of boating, fishing and bathing. while replenishing wasted physical strength. Sea Isli is quite similar to our close neighbors on tbe south, with the added attraction ol more diverse entertainments and catering to r. more

cosmopolitan patronage.

At Ocean City the seeker for good bathing, plenty of amusement. and a more metropolitan air, yet devoid of every semblance of a wide-open town, will find Just what be or she la looking for. Cosmopolitan. international Atlantic CRy knows neither nationality, creed, or station. It caters to the world, the only limit being the sire of the roll of the visitor.

Perhaps on no stretch of -eovertng so few miles, in A

world, can there be found such a collection of pleasure resorts, lertng to such diversified tastes

and yet every one possess

-chief attraction of all seashore resorts—matchless bathing beaches.

BRIDGE TOLL

FIGHT WAXIHG WARM Toll or no toll oa tbe Delaware river bridge is beoomlng as warm a question as "Thimble, thimble, who’s got the thimble?” Boiled down, the question resolves itself Into this: A big blunder was made In tar.iring on the toll provision to the act authorlxlng'the Issuing of bonds for the bridge. A second blunder made when no agreement was made with Pennsylvania covering this point before work on t bridge was commenced. But tbi blunders are past and th > State faces a legal situation tntr which there seems to be no eec will pass muster before a New

Jersey court.

Now the question Is drifting In-

to politics, where It has no bust-

Both gubernatorial candi-

dates hsve declared for a toll bridge and other political leaders have dune the same, all of which is disingenuous, because nobody wants either toll bridges or toll roads. They are out of date, they belong to a past age. Governor SUxer is being urged by Hudson county politics ns to take a stand on the matter and the'latter now threaten to institute Injunction proceedings to prevent further construction work until the toll question is settled, all of which is cLUd’s play, as an injunction cannot be secured to stop something which nas not taken place

and may never take place. South Jersey does not want a 11 bridge, despite the legal

status of tbe case, and would vote heavily against such s proportion

-. whatever may bare been tbe

view some years back. This situation is possibly well exemplified In the position of the Allantic City Press. That paper a short time since heartily endorsed the stand of Senator Richards on the

toU question.

Now if any loophole can be found by which the Legislature ran authorise amortisation of the bridge bonds other than tolls, that paper la In favor of It. After dla-

The Greatest Crops

The Wker View

Philadelphia Ledge.-: Those New Jersey officials who Insist work on' tbe Camdsn-P. illadelphia bridge must not be halted, regardless of tbe tolls quarrel, are taking tbe wiser view. If New Jersey perrists In her stand that tolls must be collected tbe Usue must finally be settled by the couita. Such geetuies as .utUng an end to all work the Jem., side of tbe structure, jgeeled by so^s of tbe Jersey partisans, would complicate everything and In tbe end settle nothing Tbe first business of both parties to the qh£r»l is to finish ihe brid&e. Then If negotiation cannot bring about a settlement, the courts must take It and dispose of It. Meanwhile both States need the bridge, and Jt should be pushed to comptelftn without delay. On the day It Is .ready for use public opinion will become a powerful Influence In settling the

quarrel.

Westfield Standard: Much anxiety has been manifested, since supplies of common labor became scarce, as to where people would be found to do the rough manual work of the country. The young men want “white collar Jobs’ now. “Who will dig our ditches?’ has been a common query. The answer is eeen In the puffing giant called Mr. Steam Shovel doing that same Job. He doee not go on strike, Tf he is properly fed. and he will work m long hours ss human beings will drive him. He L never alarmed by tbe bigness of his Job. Tbe little task is the only one he kicks at. Thus machinery la solving the problems of civilisation, and as our people advance and demand better opportunities, some new mechanical appliance comes along to do the work they have dropped.

Tolls Over the Hirer

Wildwood Tribune: Metropolln papers are having a great deal say about tolls over the Delaware river bridge. There have been numerous exchanges of more or less uncomplimentary rem '.ween men In public life ih sides of the river. T have been veiled threats that work

on tbe brldg would be unions New Jersey el

tolls.

Cape May County Is Interested In tbe completion of the bridge, regardless of tbs qusstlon of toils. When tbe bridge Is finished there will be s suburban growth out from Philadelphia in South Jersey, as there has been from New York to tbe northern part of tbe State. We want tbe bridge completed without delay. Th# question of to Us can be adjusted at a later

Dancing and religion have long been united. Samuel tells you “David danced before tbe Lord.” He well might, for bis rise was rapid from lightweight champion. conoBeror of Goliath, to ruler over

Dancing has Its proper place, see Ecclesiastes, third chapter, fourth verse, “time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to

and a time to dance.”

The next verse says there is also ’a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.” That should be remembered in these
