" _ ^ Argument, invective, denunciation, e condemnation, vituperation en tnassei are usually poured upon subjects# jcast understood and indiscriminately I examined To discurfs public matters, to <lem , mstrate the truth" without prejudice or preconceived conclusions is per-' haps difficult! j To discard and eliminate the cle- . „ jnent of human feeling is almost if p not altogether impossible! s To present plain, bare facts, un- 0 biased statements, unvitiated analy- 0 — 0jdi jo possibly more Ihltn can be ex- c '><To 'those who lived and worked in the days of the Co meilmanic Regime „ the "old flesh pots" still have their* ( / fascinations! n The progressive thinker is more in- t clined to the enamours of the mod- a ern conception! Retrospectively, the Council of b nine (often a committee of the a . whole) wherin the petty quibbles and f foibles of the individual" /ncmbers „ X~^were paraded in quite unnecessary ji \ manner, and much .valuable time lost I g In wordy argument entirely out of v the pale of executive public .business, h, and detrimental to the furtherance, b of the community's interest- ! t The opportunity • each of the nine ' b members had to display oratorical b ability, to exhibit knowledge parlia-! u mentary, was too tempting to be lost- j „ The body organization was -- over- t: organize<l in nffmerous committees, | s frequently overlapping and produc- 1 e ing a clashing of authority and action i generating in "many instances ' indi- ! t, vjdual jealousies an'd producing splpn | b etic 'itterances between the members i e both "on the street" and in- meeting- j s Regular monthly meetings detract I y ed from executive work and necessi- | t; Aated sessions often to midnight some t times beyond. Concentrated effort | a and harmonious action were scarcely i E possible. Responsibility. was easily, r shifted - " s To the credit pf the council as ex- t; Isting in Cape May, it must be said | b that much more good work was ac. „ comp'ished that thcrsituation guaran- ( c, teed, and Considering the top-heavy t| organization, more than theory would y anticipate. „ For times past this may have sen-- [5 ed its purpose, but in the age of effi ciency Is too slow and laborious! t| For what the system accomplished e we honor it, and for what was achiev ed under the cumbersome and crude methods wefraraise it! 1 The claymfre and the broadsword y were all very good in their time and | n age, but had to give way before the g, brilliancy and effectiveness of the ' faoier! The "theory of the Commission is s. built upon compactness of organiza- e tion, concentration of effort, and q centralized execution! „ Three men will scarcely waste as a much time in discussion as nine. ,h One man committees " will deter- a mine quicker lhan .three men! n One man responsibility cannot well ti be shirked! It is pre supposed, that the Com- . mission for its own benefit and that t] of- the people will meet informally every day, and by law once each w week, enabling close touch with pub- y lie business and systematic and live •„ work! ? The various sub-officers can be in- ' terviewed daily and furnish weekly reports, the whole being held well in "hand thereby! Whatever successes or failures, go <j to or against the credit of the individuals without sefnblance or ques. tion! All. are enabled to do better and give more efficient service! ti While it is clear "That it does not «' make such a pretrial difference what E Die form of government may be as it e does in the moral qualities of the in- f dividuals which e^ftute that government" it is quite clear that the |os' n sibilities of the CoTTimission are far R superior -to those of a Council! d The law would infer. "That the H Commissioners should give all their j" time to the conduct and execution of t public business. . Practically this is " impossible in smtTll communities un-, • less the members are affluent enough " to be sure of a- living Independent of ? their public positions. x! 1 This "Carries on" to" tiie .thought o that in small communities the Board j T -of Commissioners, in consideration of 1 •the fact that the salary is insufficient | v to hlldw sole atfgntijuL-tp oubMc nf'j v fairs, the" Commission sKoilld be con ' - stituted a Board of {Directors- and the; 1 Executive work appropriated to a cit; , ® manager, at least outside of the -de- : 1 partment of public safety. j r It ought "to" be matte* "possible for r I"3 .Municipal Corporation to- condy?' 1 business as well and effectively as :: j 11 private corporation.

THE D6UGHBOYS OF THE RHINE | We grew so pensive over the dough bovs on the Rhine! Senators made speeches about -recalling them from printed about them. Far from home and kindred they pined, young eag > lets wrenched. from the brood, lone)exiles pining on an alien strand, etc. Suddenly our solicitude sagged with a puncture. The serene poise of the doughboys on. the Rhine loomed with large eloouence- Thev looked like men who had found com pen sa tion for the misfortune of estrangement—like devotees in the presence, of that whifch they tenderly loved I , Then the whisper passed that ftretr j * pay wa: equal to twentv dollar- , daily and that the barges splashed ! g along the -beauteous Rhine j'ist asj they splashed so nobly in AuSJ Lane £ Svne. 1 € Thus the foreign legion lost out i , pity and won our envy. It js a priv . ileged class- It enjoys without de | „ 1 lights denied within. -It is content, j i The Germans lire content- The- mar- ■ riage statistics show- that the frau- ! liens are content. But here there is j ; rising discontent. There is a rustic ! . toward the enlistment office, and j when the facts percolate there i> . likely to arise a wild clamor for for- . g eijtn service. . i COMMUNICATED ■ Star and Wave: j •• Dear Sir: While the people and ' politicians -of- Cape May county are ' r very busy in aiv election cam- a paigif, it has come to my mind that > some consideration ooght to be given ® , question upon which the citizens 11 of Cape May County will vote at the coming election on November 8- The , question is: . Shall we reduce the number of 0 members of our present Board of J Freeholders from fourteen f elected by city and township, to '' thrive members elected by the county f As Cape May County expenditures R the Freeholders have reached the b annual sum. of over $520,000, aside ® any sums expended for perma. E nent improvements, this is a most n question- The members elected at the election next month b will only serve one year with othei ® I hold-over members of the present ■- ! board, if the people .decide to adopt ® ! the small board of three. This small ^ will, if elected, begin their £ on the first Monday of Jan1923, and will have to continue with the regular county officers, like J clerk, solicitor and other * statutory officers until their terms expire. Experience has shown that no mat- ' ter what are the number of the memof Boards of Chosen Freehold 1 City" Councils und City aCommissioners, good government will exist ' if you have capable, active am! * men in the body; but if 7 the personal of £he body is not up t, " standard for good and economic governmentIf the present fourteen membership is reduced to three, there is lit- 1 likelihood of the townships again c having a member of the Board, no: I will all the cities or boroughs in the ' county have membership. Otherwise, J] particular want>-qf any conymm- V without a member"Tnay_ be' ne-. | gleet ed Voters want to think deep ly before they vote "Yes" or "No/" t: The membeis of the small board, if n the scheme is adopted, will be chos first: One for three years, one for a two ye^Kt, and one for one year, an'd ® thereafter one each for three ycai;s. t Two good and capable men in a small oon make good county govern ment- Two incompetent men in a striall board will be productiva^f bad t county control. n The salaries of the members of the 0 small board will be, under the ores- r' ent law as applied to Cape May ° one thousand dollars per b This sum is not adequate for 11 a- competent man" who should: devote his business time to the place if he a aspires to membership therein. Will men elected at such a salary devote 1 their time to the work? Personally, as a voter and tax pay- ' it is hard to decide how to vote on !' question of the adoption. At first " impulse, most people would say it 11 a move in the right direction, the consequences should bring on study of the subject before a vote is cast- \ Cape May, N- J., Oct. 10, 1921. f LEWIS T.

BUS UNK ORDINANCE While the ordinance for the Bus Line into WiMwood awaits amendment pending the return of the City Solicitor, an -agreement has been reached between Robert Chew, superintendent of the Ocean City Elec- , trie Railway Company, and the management of tiie bus line to Cape : May whereby they will ask the city . to modify the ordinance passed in the Spring which prohibited the from entering the city, to aliow them to come into the city when there is no connection made with the cars of the local trolley company.
