TRIBUTE TO HpN. JOAN J. GARDNER : TBE FIRMER STATESMAN : The Congressman One of the! BaW Workers Who | Dees Things 1 The following tribute to the Hon. John J. Gardner, recently [nominated ' for his ninth consecutive term in Con1 gress, appeared in the Philadelphia Evening Telergaph in ita issue of September 25, under the caption of : "Who is who in the news of the day." "JohnJ. Gardner, Congressman from the 2nd district— 'the Farmer Statesof South Jersey'— never parades around Congress with a brass band or a steam calliope to attract attention, rarely fails to secure the passage I of measures that he is interested in, in a quiet, matter of fact, workmanlike There are two general classes ; 1 of statesmen in [Congress known to ; every frequenter of the lobbies undei ! the great dome of the Capitol at Washington. First— The hard worker who does I things and who is rarely heard on the j : floor of the House except when it is necessary to explain measures that he is seeking to have passed by Congress. Second— The speechifier who goes in i for filling as many pages.of the Congressional Record and / the newspapers possible with speeches to dazzle his constituents back in Buncombs county. In these two classes all shades and eradations of lawmakers can be found. Congressman Gardner belongs to the first class mentioned. As second memon the Postoffice Committee and chairman of the Committee on Labor of tbe House, he has mainly to do with questions of national importance which require much thought, careful j consideration and original investi- i gallon. Congressman Gardner was engaged j for several years as an active member I • of the famous Industrial Commission • | which sat in Washington 1897-1908, dur- 1 ing which period some sixteen volumes of testimony were taken on all ques- | tions pertaining to industrial conditions i i in the United States, -ft" was the first ; j systematic attempt to obtain accurate • for legislative use of the ; I trusts, monopolies and ooonomic in- ' , equalities in our social and economic • life. The report of that commission is i today generally consulted by social and j political economists and was the direct and warrant for the creation of j the Department of Labor by Congress , to correct many 'social and economic -| evils which had g^own up iu the body i politic of the United States. The friends of Mr. Gardner believe that he ] contributed more to the practical out- ( come of this movement |than any other I member cf the House of Represents- j tives. There is no class of legislation ! , Congress which elicits more or- i ( ganized opposition — and frequently i bitter opposition— than labor legisla- 1 tion. There is no class of legislation which reauires more care in framing in order to avoid constitutional pitfalls 1 which would destroy it before the ' courts. Congressman Gardner pro- 1 posed to the House and secured the ' ! passage through that body, two or f three times, the only constitutional eight hour labor law ever passed to ( I the hours of day labor on all ( contracts let to con- c I The Senate, however, a.' - - ; ways buried this measure and conseiquently it has failed to become a law. Mr. Gardner was pioneer in the de- t j velopment of th ; rural free delivery c ! in America and secured more than v j thirty rural free delivery routes for his •district very. early in the experiment. • j was of great advantage to all[the t I and suburbanites of South Jersey. That Mr. Gardner is well qualified for thejhigh position he holds ; c must be admitted in looking over hi6 I ' | record. i He served four years in tbe Civil 1 1 ! ' He was six times Mayor of At- ' tic City. He served fifteen years [ ! I in the State Senate of New Jersey. ! t I has served nearly eight terms iu | « from the 2nd New Jersey:' I district, embracing Atlantic, Burling- ( Cumberland and Cape May court- \ ties. Mr. Gardner has made a reputa- | < | tion in Congress as a forceful, ready, j 8 | picturesque and at times[qoaintly Hum- 1 . speaker. Some of his best I j speeches were made on behalf of 1 1 public buildings and waters ays im- ' provements for New Jersey. One or j two of these speeches are classics of , their kind." li

POLITICAL J0TTIN6S. [Gen. Dan. Sickles, one of the oldtime war horses, has come out for Taft and Sherman. Prominent Democrats all over the country are doing the ( same thing and thousands who do not I advertise Jt ate preparing to do tbe ] likewise. . i\ . x The Paterson Calls says : "It is not believed that one-half the I | Passaic county Democrats are in favor j I of Bryan. Instead of the 80,000 'Taft j j plurality estimated by Slate Chairman - Murphy it looks asif it might safely 1 be raised to 60,000. > There is one thing that Grubb has - against Gardner for many years, and 3 that is tbe failure of Senator Gardner in 1890 to attack Leon Abbett'a title 3 to the Governorship on account of the ' ballot box frauds in Hudson County in 8 1889. This, it is said, is the cause of r his present candidacy. He wants to • "get even." Yet. Gardner is not to - blameqh tbe premises. If thd Gen1 era I wanted to contest Abbett'6 seat it - i was op to himself. If Gardner's in- | 8 1 vestigation supplied the necessary evi- ) 3 dence, it did all that could be asked. Governor Fort predicts a plurality of from 40,000, to 80,000 for Taft in ! 8 j New Jersey and he will not be dis- j - j appointed. - Cape May Conty was never repre- • sen ted in the legislature. by a more ' effective team than Senator Hand and ■ " ssemblyman Stille. Both are ' on ' the job" all the tin e and no interest of 8 Cape May County is neglected. Stille becomes more effective each year and 1 should be returned with a rousing majority. General Grubb, Democratic candidate ' for Congress in thh district, has turned a complete somersault politically, and | I from a staunch Republican has become | ■ a rabid Democrat, swallowing Bryan I i and all' of bis follies and absurdities. if this "about face" movement was | ' necessary in' order to secure the nomI I ination to Congress on tbe Democratic ' | ticket, it was a tremendous price to 1 1 P*.T1 Hon. Corsville E. Stille, the Repub1 lican candidate for the Assembly, has 1 ; been a member of the House for two ! ; and has earned the respect and : attention of his colleagues by his care- 1 ' ful attention to duty. "Stille is never I j absent during the .session, " they bay, )' "and is always ready for business upon j , the committees to which he is ap- 1 j ! • pointed." "You should see him when anything up affecting Cape May County," 1 said a fellow member, recently. "Why neither eats nor sleeps until it is j fixed to go through. " He is a typical son of ."the county. . every feature of it and is proud , of its history, traditions and great pro- . It is his ambition and pride to i advance its interests as its represents- I ] tire, in every way possible, and he at- 1 tends to his legislative duties with ' • great care. Republicans of the county appreciate his zeal and so do many cit- I izens of other parties. ! , New Jersey will give a good sized | 8 majority for Taft and Sherman, but it i I will be all the bigger if the presidential candidae can be induced to devote j a day or two to speech-making in this 1 state. Bryan has been here and has drawn large crowds and has promised j 1 to come again before the end of the j , campaign. It would be no mistake on the part of National Chairman Hi'ch- ' t cock not to arrange for a visit to this State by the Republican candidate.Camden Post-Telegram. Mr. Taft calls attention U> the fact jt that, notwithstanding Mr. Bryan's \( doleful prophecy of eight years ago. ! are still celebrating the Fourth of ; c 1 July. And we will continue to observe \ J periodical political obsequies over Mr. 2 ' Bryan as long as he persists in being a candidate. c — At least two townships in this county | r do not raise a dollar by taxation for ' school purposes and every munici- - pality in the county raises much less - ! by local taxation for school purposes | than for a number of years. This is c I because tbe greatly increased amount I I appropriated by tbe State for school t purposes is sufficient in some districts a j and nearly sufficient in all, to pay the I entire scnool expense. The amount to | ; be sent to Cape May County alone by 1 1 tbe Sure is over SI 1 1,000. This sure j f of affairs is due entirely to the Repub- , t policy of fostering the public ! education and building up the public j ' schools. It will be recalled that under j I j Democratic rule the attempt was made j rob the State school funds for expenditure in other directions. Voters | i should notice tbe contrast. Under I Republican rule the Sute's contribu- j I' Hons to the maintenance of the schools I in this county have increased in five years from a little over 120,000 to over *111,000. ' 1

I INTERESTING 1 NEWS NOTES 5 OCCURRENCES BERE AND HERE f— * ' licideats Wkici lire Attracted tie Atteitiei ef tie Star ait Ware ' A highly res pec ted property owner f and visitor who is very fond of Cape May asks us to call attention to the ) fact that the city hall haa som» feat- , e ures about it which do not comport 2 well with a "city beautiful. '' The watering cart is a fixed feature of the . landscape,, it Is complained, and in the 3 plot between the next cottage and tbe . r city buildings the weeds are sometimes f so luxuriant that they .reach to the ( height of the fence, it iB said. Now ; this property owner suggests that the i ? watering carts be kept in the rear and , - out of sight and that tbe plot of ground f referred to be sown in grass and ■ ■ flowers. Why not? The suggestion should be acted upon. The city should , i set the example in keeping things trim 1 and attractive. •) •) « If the Hotel Oape May had not been j built and opened this season .what sort } of a season would we have had? It ' was advertised all over the country and the money spent for this purpose ex- ; ceeded by a large sum the combined ' • amount spent by the Board of Trade | i and all other adtertisere. This was as j beneficial to Cape May at large as to , , the hotel itself. There is not a resort , ■ on the coast which is not ready to do i anything required to secure just such enterprise, and Cape May people ap- . 1 predate the value of it. i <•%)(• ' i It is rumored that the Ford Automobile Company /has purchased Dr. Pbysivk's farm and will erect a plant ' for the manufature of autos and motor ' boats. It is probably true and it is ' a great thing for Cape May, if it is * , true. Now what induced such a com- ' , pany to locate here? Unquestionably i ' the harbor and the prospects of great ' development here In other words if I the Cape May Real Estate Company I 1 had not spent its millions in creating ' the harbor, the Ford people would I' ; never have thought of locating at 1 Cape May. Tbe farm property would ' have remained simply a farm. If the \ plani is erected hare it means building j | , and employment for all of the building ! • trades. It means work in the plant | ( for many people and the consequent c distribution of much money for hous e j ' rental, for merchandise and for other ' ' , things required by the added population. Will this help the general pros- \ ' perity or will ii not? j i •> »j « ( Hundreds from this section enjoyed 1 all or a portion of the Founders' Week ' in Philadelphia. ! ' The season has closed and it is now r time to get readv for another season. ( 1 The Board of Trade is beginning to . 1 j stir itself and ther? i- a disposition to 1 j begin planning for the future right now. This is right. Everybody. busi-'J I uess men and property owners, should i 1 join the Board of T rade and contribute i to its fund. Every resort on the ( ( coast which is Looming is doing so be1 cause of ceaseless and united effort on I the part of its people. s Proprietor K J. Creswell, of the I well known Windsor Hotel.
