A COMMUNICATION Cape May, N. J., Sept. 29th, 1920. * To the Editor of the Star and Wave: 1 The other day the writer was in the City Hall and saw hanging on the walls of the Commissioner's room a beautiful drawing of the proposed Monument to the Soldiers and Sailors of Cape May County to be erected at F the Juqction Point of Guerney street and Columbia avenue. The Board of f Trade held a special meeting in May * and President Lewis T. Stevens ap- a pointed a committee to get plans for " the monument, and prices, which was , done, and the drawing that now hangs in the Commissioner's room was executed by the O. J. Haromell Marble Co. ' of Pleasantville. The monument was to * be unveiled on July Fourth, but alas, nothing was doing. Then the com- * mittee said that the monument would , be ready to be unveiled Labor Day, . but there was nothing doing. On " November Eleventh is the Anniveroary of the Armistice. Will we a American citizens allow the second . pear to foil away without showing the folk of the country that we appro- n date the Boys who went over there and made the supreme sacrifice, and are now sleeping where the Poppies a grow in Flanders Field. • -- - — - — nwu.

Of Cape Mayites, it seems a crying ahame that Cape May should allow their patriotism to entirely die. Some time ago the writer saw an article In your paper headed "Quit Your Knockfag"; we think that it is pretty near time that some one knocked loud enough at the door of the hearts of the citizens of this cit^gpd that we bad the monument to be unveiled on November Eleventh. Why not get busy with an entertainment or two and then «have a Tag Day and the money will be easily raised. One of the Boys who loves the Stars and stripes and all that it stands for. "" TO A CRIPPLED DOUGHBOY Deep in your soul I can read Oae burning thought that is set— They have forgotten so long— l too, would like to forget; Yea, I would like to forget All that has happened to me. Now bat the remnant and shell Of the man that I started to be." \ No one remembers you now; They have forgotten — and yet Someday before the trial ends I Each will remember his debt; Each will repiember bis debt. Lifting "Fame's cup to the brave"; _ Bat you will not rime to the toast Except as a ghost from the grave. THOSE qTY ORDINANCES We have ordinances on the city , books which cover almost every conceivable tiling relating to the management of the dt.v. We have a ' solicitor who knows all of them and \ hoar in enforce them. They should I bo enforced when necessary and en- 1 farced with vigor.

, to wake op and force off these handicaps. We've got to do things and get things in proper shape to encourage the growth of this resort as it should grow. a THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE ' It may be that the Anti -Saloon | League is a perfectly great and good organization which is being guided by > of proven worth and wisdom and it may be that it has had a lot to do with securing the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment but we have . always had our doubts on all of these counts. Our attitude is that of welcoming the aid of any organization which will insure suppression of the traffic but we have qualms of ' doubt about the safety of such an ] organization, when it exerts its power _ to/make the churches its medium for political propaganda, designating ' through the pulpits the candidates it ' ^desires elected. THE SCHOOL LIBRARY Since the library has been moved j to the school building, the patrons have experienced considerable incon- 1 venience in not having proper atte'n- ' tion. i Naturally it is impossible for the superintendent of schools to attend to the work of librarian. If the library is going to be of any ' real service it must also receive real 1 attention. Perhaps after the routine 1 of school work is executively estab- ' liShed, better service can be given. It is still thought however, that only a librarian of experience is the « thing. « wiw 1 INCINERATING PLANT < i Paradoxical as it may appear, the organization established for the ex- ^ press purpose of abating and abol- ' ishing nuisances, is itself guilty of ' maintaining the greatest nuisance in 4 the city. 6 Many years have we endured this * abomination, this "Valley of Jeho- * saphat", where the fly and "the woStn" ' dieth not and the fire is not quenched." ' la an age when sanitation wa? in jits c primordial stage, it might have befen, * and possibly was, necessary to main- 1 a public gehenna. In this advanced F and at a time when the Laws of 8 Health and sanitation are better un- ^ derstood, and preventative agencies e in thorough command, it would seem that the maintenance of a dump was c altogether unnecessary, excepting for *- material entirely unharmful and not t in the nature of a nuisance. n The finality of waiting until the miserable hole is filled will principally acruc to the benefit if the private owners of the land. Naturally they afford to wait. If it is thought necessary to grade ii iv i» uwusiii necessary lo grace

^ this territory, why not do it properly e and ordain that the expense should be finally defrayed by the large beneficiaries. r Should they refuse let the city take ^ the improved property in lieu of ex- ^ pense incurred. Naturally would follow the question B "what shall there be done with the t refuse and garbage of the city?" ^ Back comes the answer, "Establish 0 an incineratory plant owned and operated bythe city." s The dump will not be obliterated j until we cease to indulge in the fashionable past time of "Passing the Buck." , THE REAL IDEA * When the SuSfces arranged to build thp fine Liberty Theatre, on Washington street, everybody was rejoiced that so fine an improvement should be made and so expressed themselves. I When it was completed . -d in service the patronage immediately became large and the people universally expressed themselves as anxious for the success of the enterprise. That was • the spirit of the community toward DANGERS OF A GOLD Cape May People Will Do Well ta 1 Heed Them. Many bad cases of kidney trouble ' result from a cold or chill.

- this enterprise aad timt is the jfai it ' of the community toward all laudable - business undertakings. Miller and t EAnnnds do not represent the people nor express their sentiments. They are instead f rep resent fay in the main the fear of competition and the desire to foster a sort of monoply. One ^ distinguiAed citizen some years ago, I opposed with frightful energy the con- . struction of a new railroad to -Cape I May and his frank reas -n was that it ( might bring competition in his busi- ; FIFTY AYES— TWO NOES— THE NOES HAVE IT | Quite a group of people gathered : . at city hall on Tuesday at the regular ■ | meeting of the Commissioners, about , fifty of them to favor the proposition . which was published In last week's : Star and Wave for the leasing of ■ some of the city's beach front for ' additional amusement features, at a ' price and on terms quite favorable ■ and advantageous to the city. There ] two present who were opposed, name- | ly, Attorney Charles H. Edmunds and ' L. E. Miller. The vote of the Commissioners supported the contenders of the two rather than of the fifty or j as follows: Yes, Wentzelh Nay, Sheppard, Melvin. In addition to awaiting this adverse ; verdict, the prominent business men who were present for the encourage- : ment of the movement clearly for the ' benefit and advancement of Cape May ware compelled ' to listen lo an ; "oratkm" of one and a half hours ' duration by Attorney Charles H. Ed- 1 munds which shows how determined they were to sfand to their guns for the good of their home city, for they " sat the thing out. At least nine-tenths of the men and j of this city~are favorable to i the proposition. A petition support- < ing it, signed by about one hundred and fifty of our best cicieens, almost ( one of whom has done his part ; in some way to assist the progress of < May in substantial improvemeut, 1 in the hands of the Commissioners, j *Qiere is no petition against it. It c could not be done. Twice have big t of prominent business men left j their business to gather at city hall in public meeting to urge the favorable j action of the Commissioners. There t been no gatherings of people to c express disapproval. The meeting of s last Tuesday was advertised broad- ], cast and everybody invited; to attend, c all those present there were but C opposed, Attorney Charles H. Edmunds and L. E. Miller. ^ " ' " s MASS MEETING I Women Voters Instructed in the Use 8 of the Ballot 0 Friday evening, the 24th inst., the e g riiuaj evemug, une £4ui inst., me

y mass meeting to expound and exhibit j the method in using the ballot and other features of the election laws, opened at the high school at 8:00 e p. m. and adjourned to Rutherford Hall, Decatur street. Consent had been gyjen to hold the n meeting in the high school for the dee finite purpose as advertised. When it was found that the meting h was of a political nature and in the interests of a candidate for office, the request was made to those conducting j the meeting, that the resolution denying the use of the high school for s political purposes be complied with. Not desiring to be bound by any limits in the presentation of the particular phase of the question which the organization representing it hao in mind specifically, the adjournment to the Hall was made. " Upwards of one hundred persons were in attendance. Mrs. H. S. Ruth- ' erford, President of the local W. C. ' | T. U., presiding. ; Wm. Porter, City Clerk, presented ! plainly and pointedly the items in the Election Law which it was necessary ; tor the fahfe who had recently ac- | quired the use of the franchise as voters, to understand. Successively the various steps of the application of the Law followed each other in the order: Election Districts in the dty; address of polling stations; registration; qualifications for voters; primary Sept. 28th; general election Nov. 2nd; rules to remerriber; method in voting; sample ballots exhibited and instructions in detail; provisions for absent voters; miscellaneous instructions. The matter was handled by the City Clerk, with no mention of candidates free from partisanship, and confined strictly and solely to the subject, as a public official. The pastors of the Baptist, Methodist nad Presbyterian churches expressed the necessity of holding and maintaining Prohibition. Hen. Was. H.
