A charge of willful deception and the deliherat- creation of a false prejudice against a principle which is admittedly that of pure self-government should not be made in biased haste. A full knowledge of the provisions of the Bill, together with a side light on the person of its sponsor, might make material difference in the judgment pronounced. The Local Option Bill to which reference was made la more properly known as Assembly No. 92 and was introduced by Mr. Crosby on February 4th, 1908, with one, J. Frank Burke, seeking the center of the spot light of publicity as its parent and chief supporter. An attempt has been made to specify the provisions of that .Bill, but, in some manner, there was omitted therefrom, a provision contained io the original Bill which was : of most vital importance. < The Bill, as introduced, in addition ■ to specifying towns, townships, bfcfr- . oughs, villages, » ities and other mu- , nicipalities, oontaimd the words, "or ward .therein;" thereby making a ward the territorial unit of Local ' Option. The Bill was fifel brought to the at- ' tention of the writer by a .member of J the House of Assembly, and it was immediately, concluded, after a careful perusal, that the phrase designated 1 had been inserted for a purpose. With inteni to make the municipal- . ity the unit, an amendment was Ihen drawn, striking out the words ''or J . ward therein" in the several places in which they appeared. Then as becbhies a gentleman, the ! Memb.r carried the amendments to the Honorable, J. Frank Burke, the[f.iAer father of the Bill, and modeitly explained their meri s. An endeavor 1 was made to demonstrate to the Hon- ' orable Gentleman that, with a ward as the unit as specified, the ostensible ' purpose of the Bill would be debated ' and its operation be most vicious and ' work irreparable harm. It was shown 1 that in no-license towns, such' as 1 Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland, the license advocates could colonize, oneward ana, by virtue of the Beneficent Burke Bill, secure license for that one 1 ward, thus thrusting license upon a 1 community in which a majority of the i i entire number of people were opposed ; t to the sale of liquor. As a matter of 1 £ fact, under the provisions of the Burke 1 Bill, as introduced, Bridgeton would ! < have license thrust upon it despite its • 1 long-continued .and emphatically de- ' dared opposition. i I Bat what matters that? Have we > not a Local Option Bill? and is not < the name and fame of J. Frank burke . > heralded in every paper, and flung j i from even puloit in the Stale? 1 1 And when these facts were humbly 1 1 and deprecatiugly set forth, did not i the Honorable Gentleman grow wet- i eyed with gratitude and voluble with t many thanks!, Not J. Frank Burke ! t Up went his hands in righteous indig- < nation and under a verbal tirade of ac- £ cusation the Member of the • House < slunk shrinkingly away, taking has i amendment with him. i Astride-light, if one is needed, up- x on the mind and motives of this Hou- i orable Gentleman. I might add that 1 on the following Sunday, in a pulpit i in a city of North Jersey, be bitterly t attacked this Assemblyman by name, t stating willful and deliberate untruihr. c with unblushing effrontery, and had i neither gnyx Yior shame to apologize when an Officer of the House, who t cl lanced to be in the congregation, c called his attention to his errors. i At any rate, the Bill failed; for 1 which blessing the people of some | parts of Cumberland County, at least, i should be grateful,, to those who op- t ... e i

The artitii referred to ri. htly stated that the Lofcal Option Principle' is an Ameri canzone, and that to thrust the saloon npoo a people is tyrannical. Under the operation of the Burke Bill whom aoold the people of Cumberland diem the tyrants? With this statement as a gauge, however, let us measure the locaLrit- , uation. Prior to the Spring of 1906 Cape May City enjoyed as pure a of Local .Optioo as it was ^tben possible to obtain. The licensing power vested in the members of the City Council and the election .of Gouncllmen who were opposed to license marked the abolition of the saloon. It may be said that the local issue waa not that of license, and that such an issue, wpen made, placed the .Council upon a less high plane, but that would not prevent its properly being made an issue It is admitted, however, that, there has been a time in which it wis made an issue and, the no- license party prevailing, the city was, for a time, without saloons. In the Spring of J 906 a Bill (which was subsequently passed) was introduced in the Legislature which removed the licensing power from the banda of the people .(through its j Council), and placed It in the County Court, thus deatroying.'.effectually, the f wish with reference to the liquor question. The passage of this All was favored and publicly endorsed by those who last winter clAmored for the pas- " sage of the Burke Lccal Option Bill. , Oh Oonsistency, Thou are indeed a j rare jewel! It may be said that the facts Justi- " fied this temoval ; which is but another j way .of saying that the end justifies the means, j It is submitted that the opposition which developed, in this locality at , least, against the Borke Bill was not ^ directed against the principle of Local Option, but against that .provision of it which rendered the entire Bilj p vicious, and the refusal of its sponsor | to strike from it 'hat [provision must , lead one to question the sincerity or , intelligence of that sponsor. ; A LOOKER-ON. ' Mr. Editor: ! The newspapers from all parts of ; 1 the country report great .signs ol pros- | 1 perity. The present lack of work has i peen .charged to the fault of politics ' 1 but there is another argument that can j be given which slightly offsets this. . ( 1 At-- the time of the money pknic i which began in 1905 the factories were ' | working their full forces. They were manufacturing and storing a surplus ' ' supply of everything. The money . panic happening at this time would naturally effect the manufacturers and ^ J on account of its scarcity and a super- j fluous supply which was on .hand, there ( was nO demand for goods >s there was ■; no money to buy them with. ^ ( The market has been getting so short j here of late that much of this surplus, j has been used, so that factories have c one after the. other been opening up. ( It has happened just at this time and ( the election of new men is claimed by < some to be the force that is making j things go, but it stands to rea-.on that j the factories could not remain shut down forever or we would soon be , imitating Robinson Crusoe; in the ( manner of our wearing apparel. | Of course we must admit that poli- t tics is responsible for a good bit ,of , this financial depression. There is al- ( no matter how good the times, c slight depression at a presidential ] election. , A REPUBLICAN- j There is likely to be more or less 1 in business on the eve of a £ presidential election, because capital timid and capitalists always desire j to know what they have to • ootond . | against befoie placing their money. ] 'The clamor of theories, anarchistic, j 1 , childish snd iridescent, .which haVe j ! filled the air for the past few mouths, | J ' woulff make even ^ courageous man \ • about investing money, uutil . 1 • had discovered whether [the Ataeri- j ' can people were capable of being hood- ^ i winked and de- eived by this clamor or not. The election of Taft proves that j the bulk of the nation is not favorable f J fantastic schemes of government i ( and can not be fcoled by cheap oratory. | , A3 a consequence the business activi-11 ties become alert and aggressive a1- j J most over night. It is not a coinci- j deuce as some folks would like to rea- ■] but merely an illustration of r and effect We have not the 1 slightest doubt that Bryan's election j would* havt produced a panic beside e which all those which have gone before would have been child's play, simply ' because Bryan would have been a men- . to every business interest in the I country, iLnot by actual intent, by his continued oratory and incapacity. One nqjt imagine Bryan not spouting theories. If the wonderful awakening were not- due to the restoration of business confidence by the election of a man of j recognized ability and conservatism, , but to the allied depletion of sup- i plies, it would'not have awaited the ' settlement of the presidential quea- j tioo, but'would have occurred as a re- i suit of demand. The active reaump- I

S* Interesting New Notes Continued fro m First Page The County Board of Registration, consisting of L. E. Hughes, Henry Daugherty and M. Kearns, met at House Monday to count election returns. The official report is published another column. Court House is developing as a manufacturing centre. Only a few years ago the good roads movement waa made a campaign issue and many voters were influenced to opcandidates favorable to it. would happen to a candidate opposing it now? The Newark News wants the polls close at 5 p. m. hereafter. Its candidate has been licked and its fatuous opinion is that there must be something crooked about it, so it wants to tinker with the election laws. Almost all the tinkering with the election is caused by a desire .on the part of the agitators to .find some way for the minority to win elections, but tit never be done, so the election laws as well be let alone. The Republican party should determinedly set its against any further .complications the these laws and any changes, excepting in the direction of simplifythem. (• <• (• There is complaint in several election districts that election boards have to make the proper and careful of their districts which[the law requires and have failed |to register some instances, a number of old residents in the districts complained of. Of course the omissions were procorrected in [most instances and not made intentionally, but they should not have been made. It might transpire some time that intention not carelessness would cause the omission of names and there should be no precedents established to .make this poesioie. O ft 9 ' V The Cape May County Board of is making ita round ot visits to various taxing districts to hear appeals and in four .districts [recently visited not a single appeal has been made. These districts are Upper Middle Township, West May and South Oape May. L ' . - '
