MIR. sIMMERMAN's SPEECH.
Mr.. Chairman:

Mr.. Chairman:
In responding to the toast wild
wood" to which I have been requested
to do, I am happy to say that you
could not have given me a more pleas
ing subject. One that is calculated
to excite greater enthusiasm and aid
healthy digestion after partaking of
such a sumptuous dinner as we have to-
night.
Wildwood is rightly called the Gem
of the Ocean.
There is but one Wildwood, and 1t is
not likely nat there will ever be an
other.
Nature after experimenting at Cape
May, Sea Isle City, Ocean City, At
lantic City, Beach Haven, B%arnegat,
Sea Girt. Ocean Grove, Asbury Park,
Long Branch and other places, having
reserved all the best it had in store,
made Wildwood. That is it set the ex-
ample that we have followed here to-
night, reserved the best for the last
of the feast, and in order that it's pur-
poses might be achieved it hid it with
a gigantic forest, about one thousand
years age, and stocked this island with
wild cattle to keep the vandal man that
preceded us away until the ending of
the nineteenth and the beginning of
the twentieth century, that is to do so
much for the progress of the world
and happiness of mankind. Here we
have the proof of the law of progres-
sion that nature is equal to the highest
needs of man.
For having bathed at all the other
resorts named, l speak from expert
enoe when l say hat Wildwood Beach
is Incompatible and that only those
who lave bathed here know what an
Ocean bath is. in it's perfection. I
have never met a man vain enough to
suggest how it could be improved, and
it has been a fad with me to say to
strangers who were here 70. the first
time. Suppose you were going to make
a beach according to your own notion
and had the material brought here to
do ii with, what improvement would
you make, but zone of them have even
suggested how they would do it. l said
this to a friend of mine once and after
viewing it he said by gosh l could not
make it so perfect. l put the question
to a gentleman the other day who re-
Piled, l would put the boardwalk
farther u
After nature had made Wildwood it
projected a narrow peninsula of lane in
the rear, the soil of which produces the
best of vegetables and fruits for our
use. Then to protect us from the hot
and breezes that other resorts suffer
from, made the Delaware Bay, 40 to
so miles wide, directly to the west and
southwest, which enables us to live
her in a constant salt atmosphere, that
is impossible to enjoy at other resorts.
OF the progress of Wildwood l need
not speak, for it shows for itself. |

need not hesitate about investing II
Wildwood, for l am satisfied tnaf
real estate is sure to double and treDF
in value in a few years.
1t must be borne in mind that the
is but one Wildwood. In fact the So
coast available for resorts is Limited
in area, while the country, and Its
population, in the future, may be said
to be unlimited, and to the extent that
we progress and become more intelll
gent we shall doubtless make it possible
for a large per cent. of the people II
possess the means of recreation amp
rest to be enjoyed only along the seh
coast.
We already have the Saturday half
holiday in many occupations, and Ia
fifty years hence, one hours useful Ia
Dor will produce he equivalent to en-
able the person to make the trip from
Philadelphia to Wildwood and enjoy an
ocean bath.
Within the next 30 years I look for
the realization of what Benjamin
Franklin said was a possibility l50
years ago. And Franklin was the
greatest philosopher this country has
produced.
He said that if all men did their
proper share of work in the world,
there would be no need for any to work,
more than 4 or 5 hour in the day, and
have a greater abundance than we now
enjoy If this was true in Frank
Inns time, when it required the labor
of IL men to produce what one man
with modern appliances now produces,
even less hours now would enable all TO
enjoy the luxuries the riche6t now
have.
When these things come to pass i'm
agine, If you can, the Importance Of
wildwood and Won mnSf ALWAYS re-
member that there is but one Wild
wood.
Now all of this is simply a ques4oh
of intelligence. When we become
capable of comprehending our possibilit
tbs and wisely caring for ourselves, 1T
will be realized.
The child is born who will see the
time when a round trip ticket from
Philadelphia and return will not be
more han Is cents.
The population of Wildwood is CONT
posed largely of ordinary men and
women, mostly women. AS yet 1T has
not attracted many of the millionaires
or trust magnates, but for respectable
ty l believe our people will compare
favorably with any other resort, not
excepting IMPORT or Saratoga.
In government and in the manage
ment of our municipal affairs, we do
not boast of having achieved any great
er results of craftsmanship, than Con-
gress has done for the people of the
country at large, as the legislature of
the state has lone for the welfare of
the people of New Jersey. All We claim
in this respect is, that we are at about
par with other communities similarly
circumstanced.
We have taxes to pay and other bar
barrie inconvenience, that has afflicted
the people of the world under all other
civilizations that has preceded ours,
and | presume it will take some years
before we shall be able to turn these
explorations into blessings.
In conclusion permit me to say that
the future depends upon the interest
and devotion people TAKE in promot-
ing the general welfare. 1t will be no
better han we make it, it may become
worse han we wish it to be, but it Is
certain it will never be any better than
the average intelligence of the people
are capable of making it.

Animals and Music.

The effect of music On animals was
recently tested by a violinist in a Der
lin menagerie. The influence OF the
violin was greatest on the puma, which
became much excited when quicksteps
were played, but was soothed by slower
measures. Wolves showed an appar-
ent interest, lions and hyenas were ter
rihed, leopards were u~nconcerned, and
monkeys stared in wonder at the per
former.

Dever is a pleasing orator and handled
his subject in a interesting
to his fellow b~anqueters. He reviewed
briefly the history of the United States,
dividing it into epochs, beginning with

with the reconstruction period at the
close of the Civil War. At the con-

]. Thompson Baker, Esq, who recent
ly returned from a trip to Europe,
spoke upon The Seaside Abroad" in a
very interesting way. He told of the
celebrated English resort, Brighton, a
sity of $4,000 population, situated fifty
two miles from London. The bathing
there he aid was inferior to that of
the New Jersey coast. In fact there
was no surf but the people took their
dip by means of the bathing machine.

a sandy beach as we have. Mr.. Baker

TOM LEE OF BAD ROCK.

Tom Lee of Bad Rock, is farmer
of long residence in this county, per-
fectly competent and qualified to la
the office of county commissioner, for
which he was nominated by the dem
ocratic convention. AS farmer who
has heavy loads to haul, he knows
the advantage of making good roads
for the public benefit. Mr.. Lee has
many personal friends who have in
terested themselves in his candidacy
and who have been busy in his behalf
while he was at home taking care of
the seasons crop. A prerequisite of
the county commissioners office is
common sense and honesty, and this
Mr.. Lee is amply blessed with. 1t
is safe to say that under his super
vision the affairs of the county will
be as honestly and economically con-
Quoted as by any man on either
ticket. He will not consent to build
expensive roads for individual bene-
fit or to span imaginary rivers with
costly bridges. The roads of the
county for the benefit of the
general public will be looked after.
Vote for Tom Lee for one of your
commissioners, not because he is
democrat, but because he is an up
right, painstaking citizen and will
attend to the public business with
diligence

A CHANGE NEEDED.

This is plain English that even a
woman may understand; George Nc
Mahon was a good coroner, vote for
him. A coroner may be an expensive
feature of the county government or
not, merely a matter, of judgment. 1t
is stated that Willoughby has only
passed up three cases of violent death,
no matter how clear the circum-
stances surrounding. Every inquest
means not less than 500 cost, and
while they should be held, regardless
of expense, when there is a suspicion
of foul play or contributory negli-
gence, there is limit. Mr.. Willough-
by reached this limit, and, as he de-
clared that the coroner asked no
bodys advice, it is not to be won
dered at. There have been numerous
cases where inquests that were un-
necessary have been held, and vice
versa, though not in the coroner's
opinion, but he is his own advisor.
1t has not infrequently been the case
that the bodies of persons have been
unlawfully moved, to suit the coro-
ner's convenience. At other times
one instance in particular, at the
scene of the Nyack wreck it was re-
ported that the remains of those vic
tins were not decently buried, though
under the instruction of the coroner,
and that the night prowling beasts
paved up and carried away skulls
and joints which now lie bleaching
in the mountain wilds. All these
things, if true, reflect upon the CON
duct in office of the present coroner;
probably nothing appeals to the lV-
ing as the dissertation of the dead.
Mr.. Willoughby will not be reelected
if there are enough railroad votes in
Flathead county to insure his retire
ment to private life.
