MEW THEATRE SEEMS ASSURE® Not a 'day passes but that one tears comments of those on -every ■ ' , — hand who are anxiously awaiting the k decision of the commissioners regarding the acceptance of the beach, front Theatre proposition. * The signets on the petitions which, we regret to say, have been necessary to circulate in order to pass this issue, ■ now number well up into the hundreds. A copy of the proposition itself ap- i pears over every sigfiature, together with the following: " T<5 the Commisk aioners of the City of Cape May: The ; « ondersigned, sftizens of Cape May, re- ■ i spectfully urge the immediate accept- ; ance of the TTieatre proposition on the beach front property owned by the , city which is hereto attached." • The words "immediate 'acceptance" ; in the above paragraph ipean just , what they say. _ To further delay this ] natter is dangerous. It. might mean • fer jost the difference of having a new j and attentive feature to greet the ) eyes of our summer residents when . they oome to Cape May next Spring, , • or, of having no signs of improvement ] along this line* , It seems impossible that the Com- \ mission ers will see lit to do anything , but reconsider their decision when this petition is presented. Wife shall at t least see if we are a self-governed ) eommunity. It is certainly not to be , expected that they will ignore the ( wishes of the many who are so an- ( xious for Cape May's advancement. j - " ^ t BISHOP BERRY AND t THE CRlUSADERS t £ Bishop Joseph F. Berry, of the C Methodist Episcopal church, in a state- ^ Stent a few days ago explained he is t opposed to the rigorous "Blue Laws' being fathered by The Lord's Day Al- t fcance and which will be brought before tbe next session of the New Jer- f may assembly. t Bishop Berry's opposition would indicate that after all, the Mehodist y - Bouse of Bishops, which just conclud- , od a session at' Atlantic City, is not a g ■nk. in backing the Blue Law crusade, h as was at first reported. Scarcely a day passes that a prom- v 4nent divine does not go on reoord as c •maherably opposed to the "closed" Bundays recommended by the Alliance. 0 • ouuu.u.tauou uj U1C

In every case they are against the reform because it is too strict, so impossible of achievement. Ministers, as well as laymen, see the t futility of attempting sweeping reforms that will require .strict police enforcement at a time When prohibition of liquor traffic is already testing the supreme strength of law Better a few lawrs*we can enforce than many laws impossible of enforcement. Prince of Wales had to take a rest after his vacation. He's just human after all, only he can do things the Teat of us can* afford What is a mandate ? England ateuis to think it's a machine with wheels which require lots of oil. Poor time to break jail, considering the labor situation and the housing problem. i In tbe face of the sweeping repudi- , ■tern of all his fantastic notions about , mixing European affairs.

Some of our owners and tenants' ; who planned to go to the cities for their winter's work are thinking better of it and the trend is rather coun-try-ward. Wle have ps yet no unwilling idlers.
