RAILROADS. ATTENTION ! Some one .has said that when the men who make up the railroad schedules to and from Cape May, that they either go to sleep or else they try the hardest way possible to give tike poorest service possible. It is hoped that when the winter schedule goes on on the seventeenth of October, that the schedule will show that the trains on both railroads do not go out at practically the same time both in the morning and in the afternoon. Why not have dither the Reading or the Penes y trains run out in the morning at seven-thirty and eightthirty or nine o'clock, and in the afternoon let one or the other roads Ik mm a two o'clock express to PhiladJqkhia, and then the late afternoon aapicsB at say. four-thirty. It seems to the writer that the railroad men try to see what they can do to the (Schedules to kill the travel to Cape May. In regards to the railroad /are it sure is a crime for Cape May people to go to sleep and let the railroads charge six, dollars and twenty four cents to Philadelphia from Cape May for a round trip fare when the round trip from Philadelphia is four fifty-four. Where is the justice inthat ? A man that can point out the justice of it is some reasoner. The express company is another thing that ought to be awakened in Cape May. We suggest that the company just let #ome one rent the office for some better use than at present for the eervice is anything but good. BUILD THE BRIDGE There is no doubt in the world that all of New Jersey is interested in the building of the Delaware river bridge | and the North Jersey tunnel and our South Jersey resort section quite as much as any other section of the otale. In these days the knell of any resort will be sounded when the roads approaching it are neglected and allowed to fall into bad condition. A eery large percentage of all the people who Visit the resorts come by wane of good roads and automobiles. The Board of Freeholders of Cape May county have been severely criticised because they have pushed, during the past ten years, with such vigor, the road building program in th!s county, but they should be commended as men of vision. The extravagances charged against them in their way_gf handling the contracts is tp be considered under another bead. Good roads are absolutely essential. The argument for the bridge and tunnel is just as good and these two are absolutely necessary to accommodate the immense volume of automobile traffic which has developed and is increasing every day. Rivers caaaot be allowed to bar the way of ■ildiia development and free access to all sections sad adequate coanectkm with the metropolitan centers is tsBssyi or the itusnilMo lines.

, DEMOCRATS AGAIN IN WRONG Despite the fact that the law provides that only males shall be chosen Presidential Electors, the New Jersey Democratic convention has made their presidential electoral ticket half men r and half women, with the certainty - that in the very remote possibility at I its election its legality would certainly be challenged and the State - probably lose its representation. It is only more illustration of the - old Democratic adage, "What's the law j between friends?" _ A "QUID PRO. QUO" SUGGESTED 1 r Senator Bright in his contest for the nomination to Congress on the - Republican ticket, received a hanu- ■ some vote and should rejoice that be finds such a seqtiment here. He will ' certainly see to it next winter that Cape May delegations to Trenton, ' seeking to advance Cape May's and 1 Cape May County's interests shall have all the help and all of the courtesy/ he has in the shop. Cape ' May County has never -had the attention it is entitled to receive from the ' state government and our represent- ' atives should get into the habit of in- 1 sistance and persistence when their 1 cause is just.

( n Thousands of Civil Wlar Veterans • and their wives and daughters are , r coming in on every train, and the in- ( j* flux of the G. A. R. men yesterday p exceeded by several hundred the num- , * ber which had been expected by the , s committee in charge and emergency measures were necessary to care for n them as they arrived. 18 The Grand Army of the Republic f n has oome to this Hoosier state, "Ine dianapolis" again to celebrate an an- . j niversary. It held its first encampment here in 1866, when the organiz- * ation was small. It came again in < 1893, when its number was at its y highest, but now the numbers are * much smaller; still, there is a large ^ body of survivors alive yet and the ^ I indications are that the same earnest ; interest in the coming reunion with j € their comrades of the war back in the j 8 "sixties" that was manifested twenty- ' seven years ago is felt today — the ^ bond that bound these soldiers of the ' union together in that titanic struggle ^ * of the civil war was too strong for ] time to weaken — the memories and associatkms of those bitter years too ^ deeply and vivid to be forgotten. The first meeting in connection with . the encampment will be held by the ^ Woman's Relief Corps at 4:00 p. m. ( it The National President of all organiz- ( * ation, allied with the Grand Army and < « the Connnander-in-Chief of the Sons 1 of Veterans, as well as one delegate s from each organization, will attend, e Complete programs for the conven- j y tion of the Daughters of Veterans, ^ Is Sons of Veterans, and Sons of Vet- ( I- erans Auxilliary. ^ t The sessions of the Daughters of ( '• Veterans Will be held in the Supreme t y Court room at the State House; the . s- sessions of the Sons of Veterans in 1 * the Assembly room at Hotel Severin; i- The Daughters of Veterans has es- j - tablished their headquarters in Room ( h 501, hotel Severin. j n More than 500 Indianapolis women ^ will serve on various committees for. f the G.

v' — A Urge number of Vlli HUP" U Mayor Jewett. They found him to ' be a broad minded and generous 1 hearted man, one hundred per cent. ' American. r Large delegations from every state 1 are arriving every hour. All the 7 hotels are full. Private houses are r taking them in all over the city; the charges are merely nominal, ($1.50 a - night with breakfast included) and they surely do make the Veterans feel 5 at home. Three miles out, the sub- '■ urbs, one could find the Vet's housed in beautiful bungalows. The families gave up their rooms and slept on cots in halls. A party of three of us were . assigned to a family over three miles , from headquarters. A place' named "Hawthorne Lane", , most romantic and lovely part of the | country, all bungalow bouses, with fine lawns fifty foot between each residence; I was loth to leave the place — | an ideal spot to end one's days. A trolley line only a few minutes I walk would take us to the heart of the city in twenty minutes. All the streets are asphalt and very Hotels in plenty -and up-to-date. Places of amusement are mostly handsome buildings. Eastern cities have nothing on those western cities as far as modern and up-to-the-times improvements. Business session began today and the Encampment will officially open at 7:30 this evening at Tomlinson hall. Gov. James P. Goodrich welcoming the Veterans to the State, and Mayor Chas. W. Jewett will extend the freedom of the city. m • -Daughters of Veterans held business meetings at the hotel Severin. are over 15,000 Daughters of here as delegates from every state. Their numbers are growing fast and they are very proud of their organization, which shows a patriotic feeling for our great country, and a love and respect for their sires. Sons of Veterans are among early - arrivals, and many grandsons. They have a fine organization in the western states. The Sons of Veterans Auxiliary are growing. They are composed of the wives and sisters. Theyihe here in large numbers and seem to t^ke a deep interest in all 0 A1 R.' Sons. Not a single accident was reported and/the physicians in charge of the first aid station have little to do. Tuesday, September 21. With more than eighty Regimental and Brigade Reunions and the Annual Gampfire of the Grand Army of the ' Republic, the social activities of the encampment will reach their peak today, but the real business will not j before the veterans until Thurs- / day morning. The tide of incoming visitors , reached its flood yesterday afternoon, ^ when they were for a time arriving at . a rate of more than 1,200 an hour, and j last night it was estimated that at 60,000 veterans and members of , organizations allied with the G. A. R. been quartered in the city. But the old soldiers will continue to arrive in large numbers until the pa- ' rade at 10:00 a. m., Wednesday horning — this, the most spectacular feaof the encampment. A rally at the monument, the soldiers and sailors monument is a great and attractive place for the old veterans, hundreds of them visited it day, and even making the ascent by the elevator to the top, there to get a grand view of the city beneath them. This monument is universally admitted to be the grandest achievement of architectural and sculptural art in the world, designed to glorify the heroic epoch of the Republic and to commemorate the valor andfortitude of Indiana's soldiers and sailors in the war of the rebellion and other It was begun ni 1887; completed in 1901; dedicated in 1902; cost $600,000; diameter of plaza surrounding, 3342 1 feet, 7inches; diameter of terrace,110 feet; height of terrace, l6feet; mohu- ' ment foundation, 69x53 feet; depth of foundation, 30 feet; height of monument, incjudhkg foundation, 314 feet inches; height of monument from street to top, 284 feet 6 inches; height of Victory statue, 38 feet; shaft at 13 feet 3 inches; balcony, 16 feet. balcony, 228V4 feet above the ground, is reached by an electric elevator, or by stairway, consisting of 32 eights — 324 steps.

J ^^—^^^mSJwARE BAYj, 5 — .!« WhBe fishing off the Fishing Creek , Clam Flats on Tuesday morning, Jer- i s ry Chambers, the fish merchant, had a ' , e very narrow escape from drowning, , s after having caught about two hun- ] e dred pounds of Weakfish and Croak- 1 1 ers. Chambers started aahorejn his ] i big seabright skiff, when two high'j 1 seas coming together capsized the , - boat, throwing Chambers out and a]lj i of his catch. When the unfortunate ' , s fisherman came up he was under the j ( i boat. To use Chamber- own words, jj e "it was no place for him"; so he dove 5 and came up again, this time under | j the boat, but catching hold of the , - , seats lie managed to work out from', ; under the boat, and crawled up on the t » bottom of it. His brother El wood j - Chambers, having gone ashore, ac- , - companied by Bill Tobin, seeing his . brother in trouble, quickly launched 5 his slriff and after a battle with the f high seas running, soon had Jerry | safe on shore. Outside of a good 1 - ducking and losiKg his fish, £hambers ' - is none the worse for his experience. | — . ' THE ATLANTIC 1 ' — ^ DEEPER WATERWAYS | — I I Anj^ organization which in any way 1 , is connected with Cape May, directly ' or indirectly, is deserving of notice. | , An organization like the Atlantic 1 Z Deeper Waterways in its end and aim ; ■ . is doubly interesting to Caipe May. | When the organization mentioned 1 . was created, Cape May City was one ' of the first to be a member. | f About 1910, Adam Suelke, then a ■ . member of council, was far sighted ■ , enough to mdve "That Cape May City { Z subscribe the yearly fee and be estab- ■ . lished a member." I t The membership held throughout | the councilmanic form of government. ■ . Under the first commission, ' we ' . dropped out of the organization. | The present commission restored • . the membership. I . Now, to have a standing in any | society of this character, implies not . I only the payment of membership I I dues, but also representation. | Unfortunately for many- oonsecu- . I tive times, when the annual meetings I , came to order and the roll was called, | Cape May has been a silent cypher. ■ Better resign than be penurious. * Getting a little closer to the As- | sociataon, it perhaps would be the 1 . correct thing to state its aim and ob- ' I Principally, its object is to con- ■ ■truct . an Inland Water- way from Eastport, Me., to Key West, Fla. The | idea is to avoid the dangers of the I open sea. Already much of the work is done. | State and Federal aid in appropria- I ' tions have enabled the association to ^ ' in a great measure realize its am- I bition. Z It is clear that such a waterway J will be beneficial to all the seaside re- j sorts, Cape May among them. | ^ Anything, even though it may not j go beyond mere advertising, wherein I Cape May appears is of benefit. . J We are glad to note that at the 1 18th annual convention this 5th to 8th J inst, Cape May is represented by its . mayor, by official order of the Com- | i mission, and when the roll is called j the answer will be "present".* Incidentally, the mayor is also pres- I _ ent on behalf of the city at the regu- I lar annual meeting of the New Jersey ■ Rivers and Harbors Associate (/ on J same dates.
