kiwanians hear j fine address bi dr. marna poulson ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR A LADIES' NIGHT AT THE i MIRTH FIELD ,CLl!B Invariably Orenn City's Kiwanisir- lire priveleged to hear at their noon luncheon, some very stirring and instructive addresses, delivered by men of prominence i and expert knowledge in various departments of human endeavor. | Always tho motivating slogan of: the fraternity "We Build." is cm-' phasited,. and while the Kiwanians . sing ami enliven their meetings' with 'good-humored banter, food f.,r thought, and stimuli to intcFj lectnal development form no insignificant part of each noonday progntm. The chief speaker at tho last luncheon meeting was Dr. Mima i'oulson, whom President "Bill" intrrH lured, as a past-president ef the hinanis Club in Portland, Vn..' ami an active mcmlser of the Club ' in Atlantic City. Dr. Mama I'oulson proved himelf a moat entertaining and in- 1 si motive • speaker, his address, cinUUating with rare flashes of humor and wit. Dr. I'oulson moreover is "a feat- a less anil trenchant a speaker as I he is pleasing. In dealing with the prohibition imbroglio as far as it effects the political situation of | the hour, he delivered himself ' without mincing words, an\l with inrortrorertable logical cogency. liquor, said Dr. Poulson, has as I many friends in private, as it has ' enemies in public. Upon an occasion, Dr. I'oulson was invited, so it transpired by a friend, who was - a noted juristf to djstuss the question of prohibition, the judge; challenging the Doctor to advance1 one argument in defence of pro- ^ hihition which he could not answer ; 1 ami refute. Dr. Poulson however was equal ; tor argued as the first premcses of to I ha occasion. Alcohol, the Dochis argument, was a drug, a nar- [ t colic, tho excessive use of which, ( g led to disease, crime, death and i a dishonor. | y lAcessive drinking therefore 1 1, was dangerous, because it led log-j0 ically to excessive drinking. | Drunkards are recruited always! from tho ranks of moderate drink- 1 j ers. Total abstainers could hot ^ iiernme drunkards. f In the third piece, inasmuch as ^ rxressire drinking was wrong, and ^ moderate drinking dangerous, it t followed logically, that total abstinence was advisable. Finally, Dr. Poulson argued, a traffic which promoted the doing "f what was wrong, which obscur- 1 ed the dangerous, and discourag- J ed the advisable, was in itself illegal and criminal. Dr. Poulson had tho satisfaction of hearing hi friend confess, that the argument advanced was unanswerable. Tho failure of prohibition, if it •night he so termed, said Dr. Poulson was due largely to the fact that men had been appointed F enfmcement officers, who were entirely out of sympathy with the Tlie speaker cited as an example Mm law enforcement officers in Atlantic County, who was so wet, } that it fairly dripped and oozed "'it of him. Overture had been made with the authorities at Washington, to bare the man replaced; but Senator Edge and other politicians had * interfered, defying the authorities v t" make any change. I" the face of the distressing farts, brought to light by the pres- u e»t election, Dr. Poulson continual there was infinite consolation " in knowing that moral issues are ° never and can never be defeated. I! Victory may be delayed for a periml. but moral principles are in ^ themselves invincible. All errors and mismanagement s government, said Dr. Poulson, 1 fan he laid at the door of the 1 'ay-at-home voter. The speaker 1 advanced the principle, that the * eraiTwhn neglected to do his duty r as a citizen, by registering his v"te, should be disenfranchised for • * period of two years. ^ Despite all that is said to the c contrary, Dr. Poulson claimed that ® prohibition was never so popular * >n the country as it is today. 1 Dr. Poulson conculded his address with an impressive appeal ' 1,1 the members of his audience, c t" I -end all their energies toward * the task of helping the individual, * community, the nation and the 1 A otld, to discover the soul in them. .

information comes to hand, of s land deal recently consumated, fi which reads like a page from some <1 old world romance. u The last year has familiarized It in Ocean City with big undertakings, big enterprises, and big a achievements. This last however, a overshadows all, to the extent that ii if the facts had not come from au- a thenUc courses, one might have, a tempted to suspicion a hoax, fi Seldom has a transaction of b such magnitude, particularly inj the form of land purchase and nc- ] w quiremcnt, been read of except in j li the history of the middle ages, o when feudalism and feudal lords F reigned. _ S In simple terms, Messrs. Massey j a and Edwards, the well-known and ii highly esteemed realtors, have ti eonsumated the purchase of 14,000 acres of land, covering a vast C of both Atlantic and Cape o May Counties. '< This enterprise constitutes, whatl is probably the largest purchase g of land, in point of area, in the jo of the state, since the 1 1« Bethlehem Company's purchase ofic the contemplated proving grounds, u The vast tract comprises very a valuable woodlands, with acres n upon acres of magnificent timber.

' Hosts and Hwiored^Iuests Parade Through the Streets Led by Wildwood Band. Enthus- ) iastiC^Meeting Held in Strand Theatre on Boardwalk. Mayor Joseph G. Champion Hands to President Davies the Key of City.

■ The pastoral pcacefulness and serenity of Ocean City, was shat- ; tered on Thursday evening, .H efl.anvj- uf.neariy7 two ItfSBred fez-crowned Progressive Leaguers, from Cape May, streamed from the railroad depot. Happily however they came, " with weapons nothing more deadly, than songs and yells, laughter 1 '•and greetings, nattering com pi F (j menta and friendly overtures. To be explicit, the Cape May I Progressive League came on a vis- : it, to the "Daddy" league. It ■ was highly excusable then, and in- 1 > j deed desirable, if the "youngster" > ili.l give vent to his exuberant ' -[writs, and instantly take posscs- ' sion of the town. It must lie also added that the "parent" was intensely proud of ! offspring, with justifiable ' pride. A finer body of men could :

1 not be seen. An enviable record - of civic achievement, and social ;, service, in their home-town, had 1 preceded them. i. And in honor of the auspicious i occasion, the parent League had donned a sporty Glengarry, cocked i, rakishly on the side of the head, - while its Big Chief headed the pror cession, his royal mantle waving - in the breeze. (Query: Was there a breeze blowing? If not there should have been one to justify . the poetic expression.) , t The parade through the streets i - on to the Boardwalk, was stirring " in the highest degree, the visitors i t making the welkin ring, with their i - marching song, "Ocean City, How I The sentiment prevailing be- < r tween the two cities, Cape May , City, and Ocean City, was most | I aptly and accurately expressed, | v hen the visitors lustily sang: , "Come to sec us, you we adore, i I Your progress is so ample ' Your League's a perfect sample, 1 We've the latch-string outside t the door, I Come and visit your son along i the shore." t The meeting held in the Strand i , Theatre on the Boardwalk, will ic[main long in memory. Enthusiasm . rose to a high degree of tempera- r ture, and good will suffused the ! { assembly. | The Cape May Prgoressive „ had come primed up for , the occasion. They sang their j song with a gusto that made the v 1 spacious auditorium echo, alian- f (Inning themselves completely to e the joy of the occasion. t Dr. J. Thornlcy Hughes asxum-|t I

d ed charge of the meeting, and nf-l .1 tcr e; tending a warm greeting loj ii the Cape May Leaguers, he intio-i cured President Dai res of the vie-! s iting league, to Mayor Joseph G. ii Champion. I Mr; or Champion performed the I, honors of tho own: ion, in one of1 - his peculiarly happy moods, and in f a short arfdres', remarkable for its 5 felicity. - It was to him, he said, an uni* usual pleasure to welcome the delegation from Cape May, for they s came from his own home town, a , r place hallowed with sacred mems ories of his boyhood. Sentiment , r consequently tinged the welcome .• extended to them, and a warmth of greeting which words ( - could nut adequately express. He was delighted, Mayor Cham- ; ' pion continued, to see such close , ■ bonds of friendship, and affiliation existing between the two organiz- , ations. The two Leagues represented the future leaders of Cape j 1 , County. They had nothing! J i lose by their friendly affiliations; he added; rather they had all to. ; gain. Unitedly they could accomplish for their respective commun- 1 I ities, and for the county, what . separately would be- impossible. | Personally he was proud of his' association with the Young Men's j league of Ocean City, j * was a member of the organization, and had liccn for Tnany | years. The possibilities before the \oung men of Cape May GjUnty without limit. With one organization, actively interested in t civic affairs, located at one end of t 1 the county, and unothcr organiza- i [tion, fired by the same aims and •"

champion triumphs over intriguery and trickery CAP*: MAY COUNTY RETURNS THE FULL REPUBLICAN TICKET I Despite all political intriguer^ land trickery, crossing and double-cros-ing. Mayor Joseph (i.

Parts of the County were fl nod's I with literature in an eleventh j hour attempt to dixcredit him in ! the estimation of the voters of the ] County. 1 I There is one great satisfaction j to lie found in the distributed litierature however. The writers and I I lie promoter oil took it upon I themselves to assume the role of : prophets, and to prognosticate j some of the terrible things ho would do, and of the awful out- | rages he perform if elected. ' From which we must gather ! that Mayor Champion's past cur eer will hear very close scrutiny, otherwise if anything could be found of nn authentic nature, damaging to his public career, it would mosl certainly have been capitalized t" the Nth degree. Ocean City has the satisfaction of knowing that henceforth its interests will have direct representation upon the Board of County Commissioners. There lingers not a shadow .of doubt moreover, that in the three ■ gentlemen elected, Cape May County will have the benefit* of a business-like administration. Men ► of sound and wide experience, and unimpeachable integrity. The election was doubtless one of the most bitterly contested in the history of the county, and Ocean City appears to have been the storm center. In face of It all, however. Mayor Champion has the gratification of knowing that he holds a secure place, in The esteem or the county . electorate, from which no art of political intrigue can dislodge him.

^ BURIED THURSDAY IN SEAw SIDE CEMETERY, PALnt MERO, FROM HER HOME ie Another column contains a graceful and affectionate tribute af to Ueba, tlie wife of Mrs. Charles Gilford, who passed away Monday. 10 November 6th, at her home, Wash- (° ington Avenue, Berlin, N. J. *" Mrs. Cha*. Gilford was for years a resident in Ocean City, a ir woman beloved for her generosity, and kindly disposition, and uni1 ve really esteemed for her unblemished Christian character. Death came suddenly and unexpectedly. tearing a fond mother away out of the bosom of a devoted family, and leaving a husband and one son, Raymond Gilford, and a daughter Mrs. Myrtle Bard, of Haddon Heights, to mourn her departure. A very sad feature associated with the' death of Mrs. Gilford, is the fact that her aged parent*. Mr. and Mrs. James -IngereoL were unable to partWpate in paying the last respects, to their departI e.l daughter, both being confined I by sickness to their bed*. | Funeral service* were held at I her late home on Thursday, and | interment made in Seaside Cemetery, Palmero.
