SOME NEWS ANJKOMMENT BREEZY OPINIONS AN# NEWS Hens Catbered by Star and Wave Reporters aid Comment ea Carreat Events Some of the inspired articled emanating from Trenton suggest that the Republican party in tnis State needs a leader. Well, it need not go far to find one fully equipped and logically * the 1 proper man for the job. Governor John Franklin Fort, one of the ablest governors 'the state ever had, is the man, and he will be satisfactory Tto a very large,' percentage of the members of the party. He is certainly as thoroughly informed upon public matters as any in the State. e ft •» Mrs. F. L. Richardson hRS been taken seriously ill. ft ft ft The ground Ihog Is ! dethroned for he has [proven a false .'prophet fand there are things occurring which may well cause us to believe that winter is gone for sure. For instance the Board of Trade has awakened and pioneer fishermen in the persons of John Lemons and George Roseman caught In their net last week 185 flounders. The oldest inhabitant has to ruminate powerful hard to recall flounders caught in February. Furthermore. Sheme ley's dredging machine has actually pumped'-out flounders where it is at work near the bridge. Take time by the forelock and polish up those hooks. •) « (• Commodore Clifford Wilson arrived Wednesday morning in Fhiladelbpia after a trip to Veneiuela.^yhich has occupied a month. Thursday night the annual banquet of ! the Cape May Yacht Oalb was held at the Union League, Philadelphia. A number of the local [members of the Club participated. ft ft » Two hundred and twenty-five flounders were caught by John Lemons and George Rosemsn at Mill Creek Wednesday. * ft S Assemblyman Stille's bill to permit counties to contract with sheriff's to feed prisoners held by the county was passed by the Senate after a battle, ft ft a Charles S. Church baa leased the Oape May Grain and Coal [Company's Jacks on "street propertyf and will begin a ooal and ice business there very soon, ft ft ft The new March Edison records are on sale at Star and Wave Music and Stationery Department. ft ft ft Both the Legislators and Congressman put up with a great deal more of outside efforts to "run" them than is at all necessary. They are the representatives of the people and they are responsible to[tbe people and to nobody else, and Governor Fort's and Senator Hand's indignation at the attempt of a few members of the Repulican State Committee to "butt in" is entirely justifiable. Many no doubt have noticed that one of the first suggestionsfmade by the State Committee was to economise by cutting out the inland waterway appropriation. South Jersey and the seashore ask for very little and get less as compared with other sections of the State and thia suggestion is {[unnecessary. Anv attempted action of this kind.'sbould be vigorously protested against. ft ft » Fine collection of Easter post cards just arrived at Star and Wave Music and Stationery Department. ft ft » It is said that a movement is on foot to substitute a steam plant at the sewer pumping station for the gas engine now in use This should not be done. Steam power is the most ex- .*■ pensive pnwer which c*u be used in this city. Boilers suffer from some [ ingredient in the water which makes ( tubes short lived. The expense of j [ maintaining bailers and of buying coal r is much greater than the expenditure ( for gas to run a gas engine, according to our experience. We believe the ; most economical pov er possible here is that obtained by means of gas engines, ft ft ft Hie Atlantic City Union is a million I miles off the track when it says that f "Atlantic City originated the State 1 t' canal idea." It originated at Cape j May aa can be easily proven and Oape ' May's Senator did more to ger the I -law about it on the statute books than any other man unless we except Governor Fort. Atlantic City's got • Schneider. l>o they want it all? ft ft w The Ocean City Sentinel says that Ocean City had a mercantile tax until recently, but abolished because "there was much objection thereto. " ft ft ft William EL Preiser has purchased of Isaac Tenenbaum. the property he ocf-. cupies at 418 and *20 Washington street The sate w s arranged through Sol. N edJes.
