TRUE IN 1914 AND TRUER NOW

(Wood row Wilson, May 6, 1914) ^ "America should lead her own life We cab not form alliances with those , who are not going our way. We need , not and we should not form alliances , with any nation in the world. Those" _ who are right, those who hold their ] honor higher than their advantage, do , net need alliances." , 1 THE WHISPERING CRUSADE , « One o f the surprising develop- , ments of the presidential campaign, is a Democratic whispering crusade. , The same tales are being told in little t meetings, and personally and confi- ^ dentially by Democratic candidates , and boosters all over the country 1 showing carefully planned concert erf i •ct ion. f THE SCHOOL SITUATION ' The State Commissioner of Education has recently made the following •tetement: The plain, unvarnished truth is that there is not universal education in New Jersey because of two reasons, j First, many children attend school so ! irregularly that they are not educated . at all. Secondly, it is probable true , that other children do not attend ] eehool at all, but who these children I are we do not know because of the j absence of a state census. The state loses a million and ahalf j j dollars a year because of the failure j , of children to attend school. I No business concern would tolerate I an enormous loss like this. The oause of such a loss would be cor- ! rected at once. We spend a large amount of money ( an our schools each year. We shall apend probably $35,000,000 during this current year on the schools. We j aught to make the results of this huge ! ^ expenditure as effective as possible, j It would cost us no more to have i the children in school all the time than to have them in school some of j the time. Many of the so-called defects in \ public school education may be traced directly to the fact that children In t this country do not go to school as they ought to. { It is obvious that the teachers can •at teach children if they are not in j achool. This ought to be corrected In New Jersey and to this end we \ ^>ught to have an attendance bureau in connection with this department f 1 have been pleading for this for several years, but have made little l progress so far because, unfortunately, public opinion is not amused to .the necessity of children's being in \ achool all the time the schools are in } session. » — . — « — £ BOS WELL DID HIS DUTY WELL I VHon. Andy Boewell, of Ocean City, j I rap.cscnted the county in the House at Aarantoly last year and he did it wall. He was bath beard and seen when circumstances required bis at- 5 fteation and be stood strongly for Cape May Coanty's iaterrats all the time. . " * He ill educed mad secured the pas- ' sage erf the bill which would have giv- J oa the avpest at tbe state to the New ( Task to Florida automobile route, ria 4 toe Delaware Bay. aad placed wharf- 1 ego fadHWw htto tor a stisain route to toooa. Delaware, md wetod have 1 MteJ to^MMat Om-

error Edwuds vetoed tbe bill but 1 Boewell did las part in the matter as well as be could. Incidentally, he is a national, not an international, and has proclaimed himself in favor of maintaining the independence at the United States, in opposition to the 1 ' Democratic doctrine that the time has 1 come to make the "Supreme Sacrifice" - ' and surrender our independence and ' our army and navy, which means our ■ young men and resources, to the nan- 1 • agement and demands of a European ' syndicate of nations. Prof. Charles Wj. Elliot, president ' emeritus of Harvard university, is a 1 great man in his line, but neither he ' nor any other college president is nee- ' essarily a good advisor on public mat- ' ters. Have we not discovered this? say we have. Good Lord, yes! * Moreover he is a life long Democrat 1 and like many another doctrinaire J Democrat with his head in the clouds, holds the independence and national - integrity of the United States as mat- ? ters of small 'consequence, by the side 1 of his visions and voices in the air. 1 The Democratic mass meeting yielded ^ a few Atlantic monthlies with a f speech by Elliot on the League of 1 Nations. E)id you ever hear of such 3 infatuation? Is there anybody who ' does not know that when the United States enters the League that it en- 8 ters a state of perpetual war? If ( there is he should see a specialist on c addled brains. * I mtm 1 POLICIES — NOT * MEN NOR WOMEN j * Men and women voters of the I* county should not overlook the fact 1 that election day is a day upon which <- we choose policies — not men nor wo- 8 men. With a Democratic Governor ^ who has announced his policies, the election of Democratic members of the s Assembly means that he will secure o support to carry them out, a which are several that do not | b appeal to the conservative citizen or E any citizen who desires the best t welfare of the commonwealth. Gov- a ernor Edwards views are those of his t environment but they do not represent ii the voters of the entire state. Hudson county is one of the few spots in a the entire United States and its de- p pendencies which desires to be "wet 0 the Atlantic Ocean". The rest of the state can do without saloons and j g without losing any sleep about the absence of moisture of the particular kind which these institu- ^ tions represent. c . f OLD AND NEW COX 8LOQAN8. b Washington. — The following Inter- e eating Interview with Governor James i d M.

GRANGE GATHEa^G ,^ The Autumn Meeting of the Cape May Pomona, held with the Rio 1 Grande Grange last Saturday after- I noon and evening had the' weather with it, bringing out "ah unusual at- « tendance; every subordinate in the 1 county being represented- ' The Worthy Master, Truman Hide- * being detained by a business en- < gagement, Past Master Llewllyn Hil- < dreth officiated. For the first time 1 in all tbe years the Chaplain, David • Corson and wife, were absent. David Mcpherson and fella Vanaman were ' assistant stewards; Minnie Madara, I Yerkes and Mary V.' Bis ley occupying the platform as the Graces. ' Rio Grande Grange has always fav- 1 ored the Autumn for entertaining the I as usually the "frost- kissed < showing the Pomona colors helped in the decorations, but, this 1 year there was none of it, and, nature ' Art had it all to do and did 1 it well, adding to the yellow in a corof golden pumpkins, she women I voters' color as a reminder that our 1 Country (God bless it) had amended 1 its Constitution with the fifty-five 1 old plank from the Grange platform! I In the " Reports from Subordin- « ates," William Bate of the Cold Spring Grange told of gains on every' ac- 4 count; his grange was never more v or in better standing. On- ' ly $500.00 remained due on the $4,000 mortgage on its hall and this would be « cleared off before the Pomona would > be around for the next Autumn Meet- £ j ing &nd for its biennial -election at the next autumn meeting. Cold Spring s Hall and out buildings are < among the finest in Southern New r Jersey. I Dias Creek Grange has had a busytaking in an unusual number s of new members and since last Pomona c adopting the Baby Grange, Stone Har- 3 With its meetings and socials, Boys' aid Girls' Chib, and Domestic e Class, there has been something 8 always a -doing. It had never aspired owning a hall, finding it economy 8 both mo^ey and labor to be tenant. r The Rk> Grande Grange has been c adding; to its tfiebership until it had practically become the social center « of its community. p The following resolutions were v | adopted: Whereas, God, in his all -wise Provi- ^ has removed from our Pomona ^ Grange Sister Emma S. Smith, therefore be it Resolved, that while we bow in humble submission to the will <rf onr heavenly Father and acknowledge He t | all things well, we realize that t in the death of Sister Emma Smith j. have lost a good member, therebe it Resolved, that our Pomdba Charter S shall be draped for thirty 4 days; that 1 | these Resolutions shall be fpread upon I the minutes of this Autumn Pomona t , meeting, and a copy be sent to the | bereaved family.

-v- 1- j Retrospectively the summer music for the few years last past has not all Yhat could be -desired. History proves that the result of all ware has been a depreciation in moral sentiment and a decadence in moral desire. Following jE the trade of satiation in blood and the breach of the sixth commandment, comes the descendance in tbe moral scale, and music of the ennobling and poetical descends in like manner. The pendulum of moral thought and resulting action swings to the exAppearances seem to guarantee that there is a desire to return to the romantic, poetic and soul satismusic with other pleasureabte existences. More than one expression was made last summer favoring a return to the superior and better things in public music. Jazzy and filligree rythn. apparenthas reached ennui and satiation, and a longing is returning for the more sentimental, refining and elevating. Against the musicians composing the o robes' ra no charge of incompetency or inefficiency can be made. The make-up of the instrumentation was no choice of theirs, neither was the selection of music. These dictated by the public demand. May we not with credit to ourselves and the entertainment of the summer visitors, endeavor to return to the standing we once had. No orchestra consisting chiefly of strings, drums and traps, can fill the ! Convention hall or play the class of, music demanded by the music-loving public. Nothing short of 24 pieces, balanced according to the recognized standard can begin to do justice to a third grade overture. Even this would not supply the powand magnificence of a hand of the number of pieces. Only a full band can put life and soul into the martial glory of a Sousa march or infuse spirit into a grand overture. Possibly we are asking too much and endeavoring to get more than our public purse will allow, but nothing will be gained by standing still. It might perhaps be possfcle to insome band of high standing, be represented by a contingent at Cape May next summer, even though it might cost $10,000. For example, if an aggregation like the "Kilties Band" could be obtained, think of the advertisement it would be. Why not try? Dancing is all right, but it does not to be quite clear that tt should relegate music to the rear, nor is it patent that it should be altogether borne at public expense. Chilean Nitrate FlelOa.
