THE SOLEMN REFERENDUM ( -» ' It looks as if about two-thirds of the people of the Uyited States had s risen up against it and that the great- t er part of the other one- third is by ^ to means much disposed to feel ag- i greived or unhappy over the phenominal result. In fact, the wide extent i and the astoundingly enormous size i at the majorities of Tuesday make it j less a Republican though an Ameri- i can victory, less of a partisan than i . a national demonstration. It denotes c our entrance into a new political era, 1 and it will long be a mighty and raon- I omental landmark in the history of | American politics. ] j CAPE MAY, CAPE MAY 1 1 ■Hie election is over and the country i is safe. We are going to have safe • and sane and prosperous times. Now lets turn our attention to tbe up-build- , in g of Cape May. We must have 60,000 population in ten years. Lets get busy and attract people here. There are so many advantages here j that the task will be easy if we but \ take hold with vigor and common j aense. Men who have made success in their own business can help to make the city a success. We could ( enumerate a large number of men 1 who have performed wonders in the development of their own business and would do so excepting that we should dislike to omit any one and this might easily happen. We all know j them, however. Let's get busy and , , apply rite combined knowledge of all of our successful business men to the poshing along of this resort ; THE H. C. L— HOW TO MEET IT The times are wrong, and every ; day I find myself more solemn, for \ though I'm earning good big pay I'm . in the debit column. No matter how ; much cash I draw, I find myself a i debtor. Such beastly times I never < aaw. They seem to get no better. : My job pays me a lot more graft than ever I had reckoned, but in the race j with overdraft I'm always running ( second. I go to buy a pair of shoes, they cost me eighteen dollars; I pay , three cents to read the news, and i thirty cents for collars. No matter < what I want to buy, from cheese to ' Irish 'taters or coal, or clothes, or apple pie, or salt, or nutmeg graters, I j find the price "too high for me, in spite , at increased wages, and all that I can , see is gloomy debit pages. I cannot , break the wretched spell; my over- , draft keeps growing; the Democratic j H. C. L. has surely got me going. 1 1 • guess Fll always be in wrong, and falling short in payment, unless 1 1 , learn to get along with neither food , ; nor raiment. I ] ^ ^ i SOME THINGS MEANT BY THE RETURNS', The third war for the independence at the United States has been fought < and won. The sentiment of the people of the ; United States is dry, as dry as can be. and prompt steps should be taken ! to insure the enforcement of the lava. ; The Senate of the United States is : not a hand of unprincipled men whooe hot a hand Unlive patriot* 1 whe have preserved the nation's righto ' eootoy— wtewwn I.

the Inbor vote nor can they work. any scheme whereby they can control it. We are delivered not ohly from hut from McAdooism and Tumultyism, a trio of isms which . should warn the country of the dangers of rulfe by the Democratic party for generations to come. Cox said that all traitors would vote ' the Republican ticket but if all who voted the Republican ticket are traitors, we are in a pretty mess. Speaking of treason, how shall an effort to shackle the nation and deliver it to the control of a syndicate of European statesmen , be designated? TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT Henry Ford says in "The Dearborn / "Certain people are overdoing the campaign that teaches the people to depend on the government. We see" in our country the ^growth of a movement that trains both children and adults to look to the Government for health, . recreation, entertainment, baths, and for jmany other things. The results are! not good. We are rearing a generation of dependents. , It is not good for any government to have a people entirely dependent on it. And, as for the people, it reduces them to the status of adult babies. Much of the so-called "community" work is' only institutionalizing the normal impulses of the people. We want individuality in America, independence and equality. ■ We can never reach it by making the ! people the moral dependents of the i Government or any Government 1 agency." j A great many thougthful people agree with Mr. Ford. John Fiske, the noted Amreican historian, in his volume "The Critical Period of American History," says: "If the day should ever arrive (which God forbid) when the people of different parts of our country shall ' allow their local -affairs to be administered by a perfect sent from Washington, and when the self-government of the States shall have been so far lost as that of the departments of or ever, of the counties of England — on that day the progressive political career of the American people will have come to an end and the that have been built upon it for the future happiness and prosperity and prosperity of mankind will be wrecked forever." BREAK OLD CUSTOM ; Modem G ri Not Saticffed With Seoond Place, Even When Inscribed , .on Her Tombstone. j There's a Certain old cemetery out j ; Id Jersey where, now and again, when ' | visiting friends tbe writer strolls I I on Sunday. Many a story lingers | | about a ueglected grave or a haughty i i headstone. But two very-much-all vs young peo- i pie furnished her diversion one after- | noon. They were engaged, that was i i plain, and proud of It Theirs was s | happy silence, broken by the girl's i clear soprano. "Do you know, George, what rve 1 ■ been noticing in this cemetery 7" j Apparently George did not j "Why. on almost every tombstone ' ! marking the grave of a man and his | wife, his name comes first, with hers ; j tucked modestly below. Take this" : And she read aloud. "Thomas Springer. Died April 22. 1842. Age eightyfive years. His wife Annie, died June 2, 1838, aged forty-three years. Yon see even If the wife dies first her place on the tombstone Is at the bottom. Isn't It queer?" George had evidently not bothered much about tombstones. He'd been too busy looking at her. But It didn't really matter muchi he thought "Oh, but It does," she argued.. "It's another attack on a woman's Individuality. Now, when I die, much as I ' care for you. I don't want my name to be a postscript on your tombstone." Naturally George assured her that shouldn't be. and they strolled on. In tune with the Infinite and the j weather. It had been a glimpse of the twentieth century girl that would have amazed Annie Springer, at rest beneath the moss-grown granite. Integrity a Requisite. 1 | Integrity la a prime essential to- real j I success. One who is dishonest may i | pile np money, but riches are not lm- j portent without honor and the respect j ; of your aisaociatea. I try always to ! i keep my word, no matter how trifling ; i the circumstances, and never promise i 1 what I cant fulfill. I Insist that none j of nor nun make a contract that the company cant live up to fully. Any salesman discovered making an agree nient In which Is Inserted a clause glv- , Ing the company a loophole to escape from so filling the contract, will be given ten minutes' notice. This policy 1 Is an well understood that we never have M enforce the threat.

PROUD OF THEIR HIGHWAY Edinburgh CItlzana, Nat Without Ran 1 son. Claim Princes Street la < Superior to Any. i 1 When Edinburgh began to outgrow < Its streets and run over Into the conn- £ . tryside tbe citizens took tbe maltei j ( In hand and decided to enlarge their city. They, started with a drab Uttl# street which they built over from tbe 1 ground up and called It Princes street. 1 ' From the day Its first stone was laid < the Scots of ' Edinburgh V&ermlned < • that Princes street should be the most i beautiful street Imaginable. ] Today Prtncee street la. to the ( Scot the most beautiful street In tbe j world. The stranger from another land , struggles to remain true to home attractions and compromises by pro- ' ' nounclng Princes street one of the 1 most beautiful streets In the world. Y 1 On one side of the Scottish mala s i street are ranged the beat hotels, t i shops, and clubs In Edinburgh. On } the other are terraces and monuments t 1 with a frame of trees and grass. From this street yon can see the t towers of Edinburgh castle standing out against the sky. Here are statues 0 of Edinburgh's great and igardens 1 ' .where the Scots can take tbe ilr with- t out going to the outskirts of the city, s i Of the statues, the most beautiful Is t i that of Scotland's favorite writer, 8ir t Walter Scott. An arch decorated with a many spires forms a covering for a . marble statue of the novelist. About hlra In corners of the arch are small L statues of bis greatest characters. s Princes street Is beautiful because * the Scots have never swerved from s th«|r purpose of making It so. Noth- r i lug can l>e added to Princes street, no o structure bulh without the approval j] ; of the city. ^ - i a i .: p LEGAL ADVERTISING * AN ORDINANCE t 1 c I AN ORDINANCE authorizing an is- ^ uance of bonds to the amount of seventy-five thousand dollars for ® the purpose of providing for the payment of the cost of building bulkheads/and other works and d structured for tbe protection of the d beach Yropt of the City of Cape May fronj' encroachment of the a waters ox the Atlantic Oct an, and t for the building of new board, or f ocean front, walk along the ocean o , side of Beach Avenue, on the in- t side of the said bulkhead.
