The "Weather Forecast" for March 4, 1909, was par ticularly'good, and so was a description ' of the inauguration by an eye witness. "Presidential Limitations" were talked of, members of the new cabinet named, 1 1 and duties of each discussed. Music was interspersed and the program promises to be attractive. Mrs. R. Snyder led the discussions. The newly established "Rio Grande Grange is adding new members and contemplates building a new ball. At present it ia holding its sessions in a , private bouse. \ ( Pomona Grange met at Tuckahoe April 2. The Lecturer, Mrs. H. Fidler, of Dennisville presented an interesting and instructive program. PLAYINQ POLITICS i Last week for a few moments the "new idea" "one idea" Assemblymen : had the Martin Public Utility Oommis- , sion bill passed. There was great glee 1 the "idea" camp. This Martin bill , provides for a Commission of five with , salary of $7,500 each, a $5,000 Coun- ■ j sel and a $4,000 clerk or secretary, with 1 I power given the Commissioners to em- ; ploy all the clerks and assistants they | | desired to. To maintain 6uch a com- | | mission as the Martin bill provides for would cost the State a half million I dollars, end at the end of the year the

' commissioners would report nothing accomplished. But Martin and the other "idea" men are playing their little politics and by their savage oratorical onslaughts upon the corporI ations, seek to at'vact attention and cheap notoriety.— Bridgeton Daily should be "letter perfect" and on cards ol good quality, that is the reason so many of these cards are sold by the Star and Wave Publishing Company, 315 and 317 Washington St. We can please you in this line.

NEWS NOTES Con binned from first Page 1 are accnatomed to exchange without any aerioos meanning, and the earnest t business of tbe Senate. To give forth a tbe impression that Senator Hand, or anybody else interested in Cape May j deaires or expects Atlantic City to become bankrupt because of its entert prise is nonsense. To think Cape May or any other resort could benefit by such a catastrophe is greater nonsense. On tbe contrary, any serious difficulty B at Atlantic would adversely affect every other resort. Senator Hand is a j warm admirer of Atlantic City and its B wonderful development and every enterprising man bere has tbe same sttig tude toward the great sister resort. 1 Cape May expects 10 become as great D ultimately and Senator Hand ia doing and has been doing for years all in his j power to hasten tbe day. Meantime he and his constituents here rejoice in j all of the successes being achieved in Atlantic City and all other resorts. There is no occasion for jealousy nor for any other sentiment than that of 1 good will. 8 • • • O. B.
