LAST CITY DANCE TUESDAYEVENING FINIS OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SEASON YET EXPERIENCED AT CONVENTION HALL WAS LARGELY ATTENDED. A midsummer crowd jammed the spacious Convention Hall last Tuesday night on the event of the last Citv Dance of the season. Enthusiasm because of the splendid dance was mingled with regret that it was to be the last one until next year. Professor Blenk and the three musicians who were retained by him after the September exodus, trotted forth all the late music, and some of the older popular numbers to the amusement of the dancers, and his efforts were heartily appreciatedThe Convention Hall wore a sum-mer-like amearance owing to the really large crowd of spectators, as well as dancers. The dance was the closing one of the most successful season the Convention "Hall has known. Each year, i the city's free dancing pavilion is becoming more and more of an attracl tion, and its unique character and exI cellent appointments, appearance and | music, are becoming widely known-Q I Cape May will be anxiously awaitj ing the return of Professor Blenk I next June CENSORSHIP OF NEWS = ! ( (New York Times) | J A court decision now holds that the | 5 powers of the State movie censors ex- j S tend to news reels as well as to those i v which are more or less hastily re- | I garded as art, and that news photo- < f graphs which seem indecent or im- I , proper to the censors may be exclud- i \ ed- Thus the censorship of news bef gins, and it is hard to say where it f will end-. ; The immediate danger, of course, is f not great. Few people learn of what 1 f has happened from the movie news t ; reels; and it would be rash to say that 1 ( pictures could be shown in public of < f everything which may be described in « 3 the news. But the wedge usually en- i * ters b- the thin end. In this par- I f ticular case, the picture found ob- | f scene by our censors repesented noth- ' J ing but some girls in one-piece bath- i \ ing suits, a spectacle which can be >f seen at Long Beach any Sunday, and « J which average observer does not find ' \ in any way exciting. But nobody is • T ualified fo a job as censor unless he ; J is able to see evil where the ordinary i > mind would never notice it. ^ The powers of the movie censors < stop with the movies- But it has been J held that they may forbid the showSi ing of photographs of things that — have happened. Apparently, there is » nothing in the decision or the regula- : tions of the commission that might prevent partisan ceheors from apply:r>~ their powers to the Elimination bf news that had a political aspect. And when the next offensive comes for the extension of a moral censorship to printed works this precedent may "rove inconvenient. If books are censored, why not ^nagazines ? At least one of the books suppressed in recent -ears on motion of the Vice Society had run through magazine serialization with no objections, so far as the public knows. If it was wicked, it was just as wicked in the magazine. And if magazines, why not nevvspap ers? There is some logic in these arguments, and they lead straight to the conclusion that the public should he permitted to read and see only what three political ap-n'ntees think will be good for it- Our censors in this State are pot so bad as most, but -Arsons of tolerance and judgment can rarely be persuaded to become censors, and are still more rarely inI vited. |

PROHIBITION THE MAIN ISSUE Prohibition will be a prominent issue in not fewer than thirty this fall, and results will he watched with more than usual interest. The wets contend they are certain of victory, while the drys openly state that if no other force kills the hope for ' ' light wines and mild it will die at the hands of the bootleggers who ar^ making too much money under their present system to permit the traffic to belegalized. . New York and New Jersey are all "het" over the issue, which also will be paramount in all of the New England States, and in Missouri. Pennsylvania will face the question, as will Maryland, Delwarc, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Colorado, Ohio, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan, California, Oregon, Utah, Louisiana, Oklahoma, rfnd Florida. Pennsylvania wets pretend to believe they are sure of victory, but the recent sweep of the Progressive Pinchot points the other way. It would be difficult to predict the outcome in many of the States but it is to be hoped that whatever be the verdict it will result in an obedience to law. A decided dry victory will most emphatically express the will of the people, and unless the bedrock of American government is to be dynamited the sooner the expressed will of the people is obeyed the > And it will not hurt if Uncle Sam himself leads the way on the one two of the seven seas he is now managing to navigate. GOOD TIMES ARE IN SIGHT There is an element of hope in the recent statement of The Wall Street Journal that this year's crops, measured by last year's out-turn, will be no less than $12,000,000,000 and in all likelihood considerably more. ' . « Such a staggering sum of money going into the liquidating of loans, the erection of new buildings and the purchase of new machinery means that the wheels of progress will begin to hum. The crops should prove particularly satisfactory to the farmers as [ they seem certain to bring good prices and are being cultivated under deflated wage conditions. ' Unless some new form of hocus pocus is devised to strip the fart mer of his profits, the year-should be a helpful one. ' - Manufacturers may hold back from production fearing the coal s and railroad strikes will check distribution, but when the dollar goes • into the pocket of the farmer, nothing will stop for long the general prosperity of the country. ' ' When sound demand is heard, we will soon get down to normal production and adequate distribution, r The public, of course, will pay the cost of strikes. But higher prices will not halt consumption which in the last anal- ' vsis, is the basis of American happiness and prosperity.

COUNTY CHAMBER OF COM- ] MERCE MEEJS The annual meetinR of the County Chamber of Commerce occurred in the | school buildine at Sea Isle City on ^ Thursday evening last and a large ] audience representing all sections of ] the county was in attendance. The , session was opened by prayer by the chaplain. Mayor Fitch, of Sea Isle ] City, delivered a pleasing and forceful , address of welcome in which he made , ! a number of valuable suggestions for , the work of the Chamber during the , coming year. The election of officers for the ensuing year came next on the program and the following officers were unanimously elected: President, Luther C. Ogden; vice presidents, to be named by the degelates from each municipality member, one for each; secretary, William A. Haffert; treasurer, Lan'ning Myers; chaplain, Rev. Mr. Hain'es of Court House. President Omlen then presented the recently appointed county superintendent of schools, E- R. Brunyate, who

delivered an interesting address askfor the cooperation of the cham- ' in his work. The speaker of the evening repre- : senting the State Department of Hig; '■ wavs, was then introduced and ex ; plained in detail what he regarded as • incontrovertible reasons for voting the $40,000,000 bond issue for road imi provements which will be before the legal voters of the State in the November election. The nieetinv then adjomed to the ' basement where a sumptuous inform- ' ' al lunch was provided for all of the ' • member.^ WALTER ENTRIKEN BURNED ' While working on an automc iile Thursday.

y> : 'U rj LAW ENFORCEMENT 1 It is often aald that law enfoece- = inent depends upon public, oph^on- = There was never a more fallacious = "btatenrfnt made. It is a smoke 5 screen which often hides cowsrmy, = inefficient, or corrupt public om- = 'rials. That doctrine has done EE i more to break down respect for 2 and to pi event the enforeej= »cnt of law than any other state- ^ Z dent ever made. N . E Law is sovereign. There n no such filing and never was such a J S tiling as the divine right of kings. , E But there i» such a thing and there . 2 will be forever such a thing as the J — divine, sovereign right of law. Law , = is soveretgc And laws ought to 2 conform to the sovereign right of = eternal LAW. S No criminal believes In law. No j 5 Criminal helicves in the penalty that 1

iIHBIk-F i w I ilea. P.D. Lt-.D. ^311 1 AUTOCA3TXR. inflicts. No criminal believes in | justice. No a-iminal wants justice. { Therefore, when it is said that i public opinion controls the enforce- I ment of law, THEN, it is said that i public opinion is the opinion of crim- 1 mals, and that public opuiion is a • criminal opinion. I deny such a statement. If it is true, that tn itself does not excuse ■ the public official nor give him the 1 license to neglect to enforce the law.

There are no methods by which i Justice should 1* averted except the j methods prescribed by law. Ths t poor midnight thief who steals ham to support his hungry child is I often caught and punished while the ' man who steals a railroad is made its president. These apparent injustices come because of the doctrino that public opinion mu*i be consulted before law is enforced. Whether the man be a plumber or preacher, whether he be a banker or butcher, whether he be the bead of a labor organization or the president ; of a capitalistic trust, if he violate* ■ the law, defies this government. : flaunts his infamy in the (»c* oi ;ha • Constitution he ought to be put u i the penitentiary and fed on bread and water until he ,conle**s.. h'« , wrong, pays his penalty to society . and is willing to kiss the flag every . day the rest of his lift Law is supreme and should bo enforced.
