WASHINGTON il ST.Pj$IN& A GOOD JOB— COUNCIL DESERVES . CREDIT— A GREAT SAVING OF j MONEY TO TAXPAYERS— CITY/ SHOULD vJIAWfe ^MORE GOOD' STREETS. Washington street is paved with asphalt (or four squares. The work has required some time, which was to be expected. Such a job can not be done in * 8 day. During the course of this street . construction there has been a good deal of comment and criticism, and even * some unfavorable remarks by some who ' do not fully dnderstand the situation. The present city council is com|K>sed " of men of good judgment and integrity. 1 The work that they are doing on Washington Itreet and at the Beach front, J while it is costing a lot of money now, is all work, that will make Cape May a better and more sanitary place to live f In, and will mean a great saving to " the taxpayers in the long run. A little consideration of the whole matter, in the light of actual facts, will prove to | any unbiased mind that the members of , council have had the interests of Caps Mays citizens and taxpayers at heart, in the work they have been doing to im- ^ prove the condition and appearance of the city. ' The city has been spending yearly, from eight thousand to ten thousand 1 dollars on street repairing, for materials and work. This was spent for work that must be repeated every year. Now if any method can be adopted by which • such an enorjnous yearly outlay can be . saved, and the streets-kept in i>cnna- ' nent good condition, it ought to be done. The paving of Washington street for four squares is" a step in the right direction. While tlie initial cost seems * large, tlie job is «U*nmteed for five , years, and good asphalt paving in At- : Untie City has lastisl twelve years with- ] ' out repair. Cape May di» not have half the street traffic that Atlantic (Sty has, and therefore, asphalt paving here ought to last a great deal longer. Thus it will prove a great economy in tBe r end. Furthermore, the present condition | the main business thoroughfare of our ( city is certainly a great improvement -"tfver its former condition. The smooth, clean surface not only tends, to beauty and sanitation, but also givej ub a less ( noisy street. ; Another matter Which needs to be ; understood In order to be appreciated is the spending of fifty-five thousand on ^ our Beach front. Heretofore, the city ^ has been spending in the neighborhood of ten thousand annually, on the water

front, in repairing damages done by storms. This had to he repeated every ' year and was consequently, so much money wasted. The work that is being ( done now, while it requires an enormous | outlay, will be permanent, and there- j fore in the long run will prove a wise and economical piece of constructive work. The men who have the courage and strength to go ahead and do these, things not only deserve commendation and ( credit for their far-sightedness, but they are bound to receive it, when the matter is fully understood.

SECOND DAY MARYLAND BAR ASSOCIATION AT HOTEL CAPE MAY —GOOD ADDRESSES AT BOTH SESSIONS — COURTS DEFENDED— HYSTERICAL LEGISLATION DEPLORED. The second day of the convention of the Maryland Bar Association was at- • tended by fully t^d hundred lawyers,many lay visitors. The mornidfp and evening were devoted to regular routine work, with speeches by T. Scoti Offut, of Baltimore, and Jaules R. Caton. of Alexandria, Va. Immediately after the forenoon session all the lawyers and their friends assembled on .the front plaza ef the Hotel Cape May, where a group picture was taken. The Corinthian Yacht club opened" its doors to tha association this afterqon, and instead of a regular meeting, the whole convention availed itself of the privilege df enjoying the hospitality of that active sporting centre. A card party has been arranged for the ladies of the asociation . for Friday afternon. Tlie evening session was held at 3.15 and a large audience greeted James R. Caton, when appeared to deliver his address on: "Legislative Ncwraetlienia Versus Uni- ' - formity of Laws Among tlie States." At the morning session Mr. Offnt in address spoke on "The Courts and the People." Tlie American court occupies an unusual position among tlie tribunals of the world of which history has kept a r.*ord, in that it not only adminietera justice according to the laws of the land as declared by statute or estabhv custom, but actually and substantially participate# in the determination tof questions which measure the power# and fix the limit the very nature and form of the government itself. The peace, the prosperity and the very existence of the Union are vested in the hands of the seven judges of the Supreme Court. Thr American Judge is, whether State \or Federal, the guardian of the people's rightsT">Tl)e commanding positions which this^reat nation has | attained, the widely diffused prosperity ' which its people enjoy, and its brilliant and successful history are in a great measure due to the wise, and patriotic exercise of this unique power by tha ! jifdge of the American courts, i The corruption which has often be- ; smirched legislatures and other departi ments of government, has never touched . the courts. The court is non-partisan, I and the selection of judges should bo , taken out of politics. ; As one of the by-products and inci- • dents of our civilization and prosperity t there are found many citizens who are ' dissatisfied with our form of govern- ■ ment and with all the department there- . of. and distrustful and suspicious of all its officials including tlie judges and courts. They are known as by various . names, some of which they have assum- . ed themselves, and others of Fhich they . have been given them from llie nature of their work. They are variously railed reformers, socialists, ' upliften, iconoclasts, patriots, progressives and the like. Some of them are " engaged . with tlie purest and most unselfish mo- , lives in a sincere effort to correct what . they conceive to be defects ' either in r (Continued on Fourth page, col. 4.) 1 — r C0LDWELL LAWNMOWERS s Nothing but the best of materials and I, workmanship enter into the construction of Coldwell Lawn mowers — tbey have been continuously on tlie markets of the world for more than forty years.
