ALL COMMISSIONERS
ARE WIPED OUT

Recently Senator Minch recommend
ed to Governor Stokes the names of
the Shell Commissioners for this
county, the positions at present being
held by David Claypoole, Of Ceaar-
vile and Lewis Shropshire Of Port
Norris.
Thls week Senator Minch received
word from Gov Stokes that the Shell
Commission act was no longer effective
and that there was no authority now
for the appointment of Commissioners.
An examination shows that the act
creating the several Shell Commission
districts in the State and the proyi-
sion for the appointment of Shell Com
mlssioners was originally passed by
the Legislature in 1896, and the law
was effective for three years. In 1889
the law was re-enacted for three years,
its provisions extending until 1909.
The law was not then renewed, hence
for the past two years the Commission
has had no legal existence or authority
to expend the money of the State.
1 There is no way at this time to rem
edy the matter and the Governor will
not have authority to make any ap-
pointments.
There has been considerable interest
in the appointment of the Commits
sioners, there being several candidates
for the place.
Governor Stokes has notified the
present Commissions that they have
no authority to further continue the
business of the office.

fell. and struck Mr.. Parker a glancing
blow on the head. tearing off portion
OF the hair and scalp. Mr.. Parker
was for the time being rendered un-
conscious. The wound healed quickly
and Mr.. Parker thought little Of the
matter until probably about Memorial
Day. when he began to suffer pains in
his head. He grew much worse. and
continued to fail until much OF the
time he was in great pain, and he was
insensible to his surroundings.

DIR. FORD WILL
ACCEPT PRESIDENCY.

AS lntimated in the Pioneer two
weeks since, Rev. James W. Ford, D.
y, will succeed Warren Marts as
Principal of the South Jersey Insti-
tute.
The information that DR.. Ford had
made favorable decision in response
to the request Of the Trustees to take
charge OF the school, came Tuesday
by wire to Judge, Thomas w.
Trenchard, chairmen of the Instruc-
tion Committee of the school.
The acceptance of the position will
be received with the greatest satisfac-
tion OF every friend of the popular in
stitution.
That DR.. Ford is we'll suited for the
place seems to be conceded by every
one. His record as an instructor al
ready given in the Pioneer" demon
strates his fitness, and when a couple
OF weeks ago he preached in the First
Baptist Church, he showed his learn
ing, his power as aypulpit orator and
a personal charm that at once at
tracted attention
DR.. Ford left here one week ago
yesterday for his home inst. Paul,
MINI. At that time he was personal
ly favorable to coming here. He had
carefully gone over the situation and
seemed to find here field for future
usefulness. He went home to place
the matter before Mrs. Ford, and the
decision Is favorable to-the school..and
community.
DR.. Ford will probably1' reach
Bridgeton about the first Of July and
at once assume charge of the institu-
tion, making preparations for the
opening Of the fall season of the
school year.
With DR.. Ford here and the I'm
provements planned, it would seem
that the immediate future of the
school was exceedingly bright.

Millville, June 2.-As a result of

Ira Wade Goes Free.

Ira Wade, clerk IF Lincoln
county, was acquitted in the land
fraud case against himself, Potter
and Jones. The jury made short
work of the case as is shown by
the following from the Telegram !:
The Potter Jones' Wade jury
took about 80 minutes late Sat-
urday night to reach a verdict of
conspiracy to defraud the govern
lnent of timber lands, and to ex-
onerate Wade. TIE guilt of
Jones and Potter was so evident
but that one ballot was required
to reach an agreement. 1t took
three ballots to clear Wade; the
first showed seven ballots for ac-
quittal and five for conviction of
the clerk of Lincoln county, the
second niue for acquittal and
three for conviction.
1t is expected that Potter and
Jones will ask for new trial, and
as soon as Judge Hunt returns,
OR judge is appointed for the
District of Oregon, motions to
that end may be submitted.
Meanwhile there will be nothing
done in the Federal Court, as
Judge Hunt left today for Butte,
Montana, where there is press
of business awaiting him, and it
will be sometime before be can
return, if at all.
w. J. Burns, head of the secret
service agents connected with the
land fraud investigations, will
leave Wednesday for Washing
ton. He does not know when
he will return, but he will prob
ably come back with Mr.. HeAey.

The UnquenchabIe.

Many people of our section are
terribly in earnest in their clamor
for development in Yaquina har-
Dor and Hon. B. F. Jones, of
Lincoln county, is foremost in
the ranks. Speaking of this
gentleman and his efforts, an ex-
change says:
At the Engene Development
League meeting, President Hofer
put the.lid on B. F. Jones in the
midst OF his plea for Yaquina
Bay harbor and an outlet there
from. At the Republican Peace
Conference last week, when Jones
was asking for recognition of va
quina Bay harbor and the Will
lamette valley, the lid was again
put on by Isaac Manning of
Salem having his motion tabled.
Being sat upon does not dis
courage Jones. His face only
grows little redder each time.
Determination grows with each
turn-down. Every suppression
of Jones means more pent-up
cratory from the clam beds of
Yaqulna Bay. 1t were better for
those interested in keeping Jones
in the background that no at
tempt be made to dim his light.
Jones is unquenchable. He will
be heard from at the next meet
ing or the Willamette Valley De-
velopment League meeting in
Albany. 1t will be worth ones
time 10 go to hear him.
Jones can't understand why
Is; ac Manning, living at Salem,
should object to resolution be-
fore the Peace Conference, favor
ing the lifting of the so cents per
ton embargo on every ton shipped
out Of the valley in the way of a
toll at the Oregon City Locks.
Jones had observed in silence as
long as his nature will permit,
the farmers, hop growers, stock
raisers, fruit growers and other
interests of the valley paying
some 5000, 600 annually merely
because Of a little obstruction in
the river at Oregon City.
Jones can't understand why
time is given to discussion of
scientific irrigation and kindred
subjects at League meetings
when he is denied the privilege
of telling Of the advantages of a
direct connection with an open
sea at Yaquina, M
There will be no lid on B. F. I
i Jones at the .A!Allbalny.~League
meeting.

LET WE'LL ENOUGH ALONE.

It IS pretty evident that GER
tain elements in both the repub-
lican and democratic ranks are
attempting to break down the
tariff wall in this country. In
the face of this attempt in our
own country other nations are
aware Of our astonishing pros
perity and there is q cry for an
adoption ola protective policy
that they and their people may
enjoy the blessings, happiness
and contentment that a strong
protective measure brings.
Strange it is. indeed, that any
person yersed on present con-
ditions would wish to combat the
policy that made these conditions
possible. But such is fact and
we find many urging a revision.
Bear in mind that there al
ways has been and always will
be calamity howlers, men who
would resort to any means to
bring about measures Of personal
benefit to themselves and their
own particular business. Then
there is another class-those who
howl because they are consti-
tutlonally rut up for such work
just as a dog bays the moon.
Nearly all mills and factories
throughout the land are running
at full tilt and many of these
great workshops are doing
"over time" Does such con-
dition not look good? Does the
country need any radical
changes of policy? Is not Roose-
velt all right and does he not
show honesty of purpose in his
every action? Is not what is
good enough for him good enough
for you?
Talk about reciprocity, about
free-trade, tariff revision, dual
tariff and everything else a fer
tile brain can suggest, but in the
midst of it all remember that at
present we are not obliged to
talk of soup houses. Wipe out
all ideas you may have entertain.
ed of tariff tinkering and settle
down to the policy of letting well
enough alone, bearing in mino
that the chances are ten to one
that change would make con.
dltions worse.
