RECORD*.

COnmUNICATED Mosday, Dbc. a, 1907. To Editor of Capr May Hrrald: As the New Year Is approaching 1 few thoughts as to what our new politicians may find peace and c lation If they make a few resolves only stick to them. Let me say In way of introduction, I have a*ked those in authority why the local liquor taws have not and are not enforced and am told it is ap to the Senator, Judge of the Cbunty, Mayor of the City, City Council, Alderman, Police, and other. I know those who advocate temperance In the use of alcohol have made the appeal. I want lo say for the benefit of a few of my political friends 1 am not in the true sense strictly a Prohibitionist, and I know my friend Sen. Bob Hand and Col B. Hughes will vouch for this statement, even if they will not agree with me in others, have great respect for an honest Prchl bill on 1st, and there are many. The local a* well a* the United States law* ore very good, but here they lock forcement. I am told they are here openly and groaaly violated, and we oil know it but do nothing. I know from personal observation and have go into ram shops day *ob*y and come out drunk and have known the wiva* of drunkards go to rumaeliere and oak that their husband* be given with such on appeal rum was (till dealt out to the husband. I know the wife and children of the drunkard have sat horns in toon and actual wont of the noosed Itas of Ufa, and those In control of the laws and able so set have done absolutely nothing, of losing their job and political pull.

Now Mr.

ready to be corrected if I have made a misstatement, hat have this to suggest to the Incoming politician!:,try at least to be honest to you reel vd and those (the people) who put you in power. Try and fdllow the example of President RooeeraR whom I hod Uw honor to meet March tJ, 1*M, b* honest and you will have many enemies who will my mil kind of .lhit«s behind your bask,

Now why -va< it so easy for the Beal Estate? Mr. Aaron Hand edits the Wave and Star, Mr. Townsend is the City Engineer and doe* work directly indirectly for the Beal Kata.e Coininr; Mr. Ellis Mnr.halle.er guided by his colleague and knows Utile or nothing about it. I gi -e Mr. Mar-hall credit, for he lives In Philadelphia a great p>rt of the Urn?, and does the bjsl from distant information, but possibly he would rather let same one nearer at home hare hi* job, then Benalor Hand could appoint another, making in all three good men. TheUitjrCoTmcil live loo near at home, for the present, to say much about, but If 1 can think of anything especially creditable, maybe later 1 will have something lo say. Since the advent of Peter Shields and the Real Enisle Company,-taxes ha-e Increased one to five, six hundred or morn per cent., the benefits going almost to the Real Estate Company, and lor what— the promise of grealness in the future. Most men do not conduct their perns the taUcs of the City of Cap* May has allowed it to be conducted for the past few yean on promise. Mr. MoCrea, President of the Pennsylvania R. R-, and Mr. Baer, of the P. A R. R., who I had the honor set recently on a n alter in which interested, and may add pleasure of the residents a* well as coming here for pleasure and I, gave me lo understand that road* were not in b isiness for the names of their stockholders for plensI quite agree with both in such a policy, but I thought they might al some time feel a Utile more generous, but that we will pass over. Why should our City Council contribute the l ixpayen money to Peter Shields and the Real Estate Co.? I will await their reply. Concluding here today I entertain the best of feeling for most if not all, as I think they want lo be honed but have been carried away in the po**tbiUUe* of what we are lo expect from the Real Estate

Company.
