! ^Uncovered a Hornet s Nest The editor d the Trenton Stste Gazette, who recently assailed the veracity o! newspaper stories 1 t ‘’’W bk>Ofning roses, red ripe stiawberriw. frolicsome , bluebirds and winter bathers in Cape May County, calling them fairy tales, now frankly admits in Another editorial, reprinted on this page, he is - losing 'faith in his own skepticism. And well he might, for he certainly uncovered . .ji hornet's nest with his prods. The hornets, resenting the jabs from his overly sharp pen. lost no time in tailing into him. After that it was a '' one-nded battle, for he was at their mercy , witbw out a single weapon, while those whom he so *'unwisely criticised had defensive material in

oB abundance.

• Confessing that his unbelief was inspiied. prrJJjJkaps, bv envy, he—oh. read the editorial yourself wand hear from hit own pen how he is compelled H ! to give ground. It reveals that he h a better Sportsman than his first editorial indicated and that £jjhe possesses that saving grace of humor, which he jv»«ki!lfully puts to work to extricate himself from * somewhat embarrassing situation. Aj We hope he will pay this county a visit and by personal observation and first-hand information, learn that our climate cannot he judged by that {S prevailing in other sections of our

announced his plans for the erection of modern ! poultry farms on live-acre plots. compJftrly j ecpiipped with bungalow, garage, modern poultry j house, and ready for the poultry-man to move in.' Mr. Krinskev say*. :n an article in thu i-ue. It is my idea that Cape May County i» ideal as a poultry growing snrtion. The industry i* already assuming large proportions. With our climate and soil, anyone who has made any study of poultry raising and has enough money tn finance the first six months. i> certain of a comfortable income after that it they pay attention to the Mr. Krinslry'» farms will be located near Woodbine. in which section there are alreadv twenty-six poultry ranches, now occupied, created during the last two years by the Baron DeHirsch Fund. If Cape May County i* really serious about •anting industry, this poultry opportunity, which has been knocking for years, is patiently waiting to

be grasped.

Worth $2500 If Worth a Nickel

Senator Read has introduced a bill into the! Senate that provides for increasing the salaries o! j County Freeholder* from $1 MX) to j2VX). Busi-1 ness companies and corporations endeavor to pay! executives a salary somewhat coynmmsurate i with the importance of their office. Boroughs, j cities, counties, states and the nation should, but j

don't.

Just because a man elected to public office n [ apparently satisfied with, or is public-spirited j enough to uncomplainingly accept, a salary far too! small for the importance and amount of work he j is supposed to do. is no reason why he should be] niggardly treated. Few public officials, from the fifevident of the United States down, are adequately paid for their services. Perhaps that is why so many of them are not worthy of the office*

they hold.

The minute any public official makes a mU-sie of any ki.*). big or trivial, even tl iugh it he entirely unavoidable or an excusable error of judgment, he Is. to put it crudely but expressively panned" in harsh terms. When, as more freluently occurs than his critics are willing to admit, he performs an unusually fine piece of work, it is usually overlooked. The man who gets ittie but criticism for doing the very best he can, at least deserves to receive somewhat adequate

inanrial remuneration.

fhere doesn’t seem to be any good irason why lie men who maiuge such a vast corporation as a county should noj receive at I-sst StWXf a rear. We hear some one saying. “Why. I know plenty who would take the job for 51000 a year."

How many polticial campaigns can you rentemher in which the cn was "We want a business administration.'’ Yet the folks who howled the loudest about wanting a business administration would have howled twice as lustily if anyone had suggested that the men they were putting in office should be paid an honest-to-goodne*. business ulary for conducting the municipality's business in a business-like way. The office of Freeholder has enough responsibility to make it worth 52500 a war if it is worth a pickel. The Freeholder who is not actually worth that to his county should never he elected.
