Senator Philander O. Knox ib 1 growing in popular favor aa a candi- 1 date for the Republican nomination for 1 the presidency. Hia recent address at ' Pittsburg is to be published a a a Senate document by unanimous consent of the U. 8. Senate, a remarkable tribute ( r — to the character of the man and of the , address, , . 1 It must be admitted that there is j "" not one of the candidates for the Republican nomination for the preai- ' dency who ia not an honor to American citizenship. Whichever one may ae- ' cure the great prize; will be likely to prove a patriotic preaident and effec- e tively cuide the nation in its glorious j and prosperous career. With such a galaxy of distinguished men as candi- J dates ijforv the greatest honor and greatest office in the srerld. the Republican party is entitled to claim that its successful control of the destinies of * the Republic for ao many years en- c titles it to qontinued trust and honor. £ - -- I If there is ■ one thing needed more j" than another at a seashore resort it is capital and energetic capitalists for its development and Cape May has been fortunate in attracting the atten- * tion of Peter Shields and'the wealthy sad energetic busineas men associated I ■with him. So far as Mr. Shields him- * self is concerned, he ia a marve. of r energy and far-sightedness and skilful- t: ness in. arousing attention and interest 1' in others for the enterprise of which he ■' ia the titular head. His work at^Wash- 0 ington last winter in securing attention e: to our harbor needs was a wonder. The necessity for a harbor of refuge n for the Jersey ' coast has been re cog- <*' nized for years and the possibilities in P' this direction at Cape Mfejr have been hi 4tbcuased here for a long time but it ■' remained for Peter Shields to secure ®< the attention of-the Congress of the w <W«UGUUUU Ul'lUC VUnglBBB UL U1C

United States to this importanfmatter. That it means wonderful development here ultimately, there ia* not the -j. slightest reason to doubt, aqd that it f - Will be an important element of safety ( to veaaeli along our coast is likewise j certain. That the people of Cape May a thoroughly appreciate the value of hia j weak to Cape May and are willing to •id in every possible way in' these •OartsT is as certain aa can be. The hopes of our people for a great . future for this elasaic resort are more vivid e today than ever and nothing has occurred or is likely to occur to dim the 8 • brilliant prospect Most of us are ^ likely to aee Oape May county a much c •"•ater and more prosperous county, ? with this city leading the van in a " ••plrit of amity and cordial cooperation ° with all the other resorts, for Cape fc Hay's harbor development means a 8 •rest future not ©-.ly for this city, but ° also fear every section of this county. b . c In thia' part of the State the necessity ci for a law to regulate public utility corporations ia not appreciated as it is -i? the centres of population where the management of public utilities, i. e.. d. railroads, trolleys, gaa and electric o: lighting service, telephones, etc., is a ft •utter of every day discussion, since a( almoet the entire population ia in daily 8 •m of the facilities furnished by the U ▼uriooa corporations in theae things. . mftar aa«Mag valaahla frenrhi— B & for— - • - -7-r -

doubt either. Oat many corporation gives more attention to the as- , ridiment of oflfcera and stockholders, . than to satisfying reasonable public demands, and thus far, have canard the agitation which now arouaaa the public and-*" finding voice . in the- doj mauds for regulation. TSe members of 1 the legislature will dP' well to scan carefully the various bills which have been introduced far public utility rego'ation, however, before committing themselves to support any of them. Theae hills are all formidable iu their scope And whichever one becomes law, will endow a commission with tremendous power and saddle the state with enormous annual expense. It ia questionable whether the proper and strictly honest administration of any of the plana proposed would be productive of . any good which' cannot be obtained in a leas circuitous way and if it should hapnen that the power should fall into the hands of unscrupulous commiai si oners intent upon strengthening the ! hands of a political machine, rather ! than upon serving the public, the opi portunities would be boundless To ; grant to any commission the power to regulate rates, would be, it aeema to as, a dangerous mistake. Tfie wave of socialistic fervor which is urging government interference with everything, will surely pass and it ia to be hoped that Hew Jersey will avoid becoming involved and maintain its reputation for safety and sanity in the midst of the unwholeeoo e excitement which ia being fomented by agitators in many parts of the country. We can see very sincerity in it and a great deal of ( political wire palling by demagogs who they have found a popular iasue with which to ride into power. The "hard times" which fiave appeared i aa the result of the destruction of confidence in business circles is rapidly , destroying the popularity of the issue,aa ia likely to be discovered sooner or later.* If the cry against the present tax system is justified, then those opposed to it should intelligently point out the for their opposition to the instead of dealing in glittering generaities of denounciation. Let us, therefore, reason together. Is it an injustice and a wrong to ta* all alike? Will anyone publicly " object to this? And it is the aim and intent of the law that the corporations, the large property holder and the small property be equally taxed, according to his holdings. Will some one explain where the "iniquitous" part of such a law is visible to the naked eye. ' But there ia another point to be , touched upon, and one which should be considered by those who are not unduly Bwayed by appeals to passion and prejudice. And that is this : the in- ' crease in taxation is doe almost absoand" Solely to the increase in ' taxation. If any taxpayer is in doubt about this, let him examine his ' tax bill. And neither the state nor 1 the county board has anything to do with this. If municipalities are progressive and feel that they are able to raise their and increase their expenses in other respect i. they have the privilege to do f this, so loi.g as they keep within the of the law— and if the present state law is repealed, another state . governing local taxation, will be enacted. In the language of Andrew . Jackson, "the blessings of government,, like the dews of heaven, should descend alike upon the rich and the poor," and he might have added the burdens, also. And all that the present tax aims to do is to deal out , equal and exact justice to all —Five Beach Sun * ^ r
