There has been a diversity of opinion
on the matter of consolidating the Five
Mile Beach resorts of Anglesea, Wild
wood and Holly Beach, and the action
of the Legislature on Wednesday of
last week in killing the bill has had a
satisfying effect upon many residents
here. There are many conservative
residents at all these resorts who think
that the towns should continue as sep
arate municipalities for some years to
come, when an assured extended growth
would make them of sufficient size to
be formed into a city second in size to
Atlantic City only. All of the resorts
are showing a most progressive spirit
all are enjoying prosperity and the
benefits Of modern conveniences-and
in a few years the entire island will be
a beautiful city of no mean proportions.
Under consolidation 1t is reasoned that
more or less sectional jealousy would
spring up and cause discussions that
would have a tendency to retard the
progress Of all the %borOughs. This is a
condition that does not now exist, and
there are many residents and extensive
property wner who are satisfied to
let the three towns attain a larger
growth before consolidating.-Philadel-
phia Press.

the southern coast will be the American
Riviera, where a broad ocean boulevard
will connect many superb summer and
winter resorts, filled with fine hotels
and elegant villas, and alive with visi-
tors from allparts of the country and the
world. The railroads are anticipating
that great change, and SO is the State,
the one by introducing electricity to
propel trains and by charging their
transit facilities, and the other by its
system of new improved roads, which
are conquering the marshes and inlets
and gridironing the whole southern
region with good highways.-Newark

Southern Coast Development

In what other seashore resort in this
world, without exception, can 1t be
truthfully said that hotels were over
crowded on February %, Washing
toms Birthday? Where can be found
travel SO great that the railroads had
to u trains in sections from New
York or other points? Wonderful,
wonderful.-Atlantic Press.
Wonderful, indeed, Atlantic City's
daily paper takes just pride in a fact of
more than local interest. The develop
ment of the island in a short time as a
winter pleasure and health resort is
phenomenal, and it has a significance
much wider and greater than the mere
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Atlantic City, a
significance that relates to the whole
southern ~seacoas of New Jersey, on
which Atlantic City is a mere spot.
What has attracted thousands of
people from all parts of the country to
Atlantic City is not the hotels, or the
boardwalk and its novelties, or the
pier or other features of the place, but
the climate, and the city has no mono
poly of climate. The health-giving air
that, sailed by old ocean, is a tonic for
the sick and wearied and tagged, who
come to be restored, prevails In like pur-
ity and softness all along the coast and
is perhaps even more life-giving further
south at Cape May.
1t is the warm Gulf Stream off the
coast that softens the rigor of the ocean
air and gives to it the tonic qualities
that re~invigorate the ailing body.
Physicians are more inclined than ever
before TO dispense with drugs, and a
common prescription to a patient is a
few days. s%ojourn and rest at Atlantic
City, which is now preferred only by
reason of its superior hotel accom-
modations.
The transformation of this resort into
agreat city, with all its activities and
eXcitements, and the overcrowding of
the hotels, must lead inevitably to the
development On a large scale of other
places on the southern coast of the state,
and that development has already
begun, especially at Cape May, the
oldest and most salubrious seaside re-
sort, where the foundation for a splen-
did city has been laid.
Not many years will elapse before

BILLS @ MENDED
Many New Changes In The Elec-
ton Law

lion Law
The Camden Courier, a few days ago
said:
"Various propositions to amend the
election laws are on file In the respective
houses of the Legislature, and they will
bear careful consideration The propo-
sition for direct nominations at the
primaries instead of by delegates in
convention would afford voters an
opportunity to ex press their individual
choice and not trust it to delegates who
might be susceptible to the influences
of combines and, therefore, not repre-
sent the will of their constituencies.
There is much to be said in favor of the
demand for unequivocal freedom of
men to aspire to nomination for office.
AS it is, men seeking to be candidates
for Office are compelled to get signers
to petition to enable them to do SO, and
the people at the polls are limited to a
selection from those who thus qualify.
The field should be open to all corners,
without restrictions of a red tape
character that play into the hands of
practical politicians. A direct vote for
candidates as prevails In boroughs and
townships, should rule in every election
district.
IAN interesting amendment to the
election laws is that proposed by Sena-
tor Crosse, which prohibits a citizen
who has voted at a primary election
from signing a petition for any indie
pendent candidate. That Is based upon
the principle of majority rule, and
means that when a voter has voted
once for q party nominee he should
abide by the election In which he par
ticipated and not be entitled to two
chances In naming a candidate.
"If a minority voter is moi satisfied
with the result he has his chance at
the regular election to express it.
Republican politics in Cape May
are always lively, but the county being
firmed settled In the Republican col
umn there is no question of the result
should an independent ticket be placed
before the people. The independent
move there is of the usual character,
and similar to reform movements being
engineered by longtime office holders
whose services the people no longer
desired. Senator Crosse has proved a
faithful and capable official and is en-
titled to the denomination as has been
the custom in Cape May"

party, and are represented in oregon
in this struggle to establish the direct
primary and the direct election of
senators by the vote Of the people.
To this principle the republican party
of this state and nation is irrevocably
committed.
Republican legislatures have re-
peatedly demanded that the people
be given sole control of electing sem
ators. That principle has been in
dorsed by the party platforms and
conventions in Oregon and many
other republican states, and is now
pending before the national congress
and senate, introduced by republican
representatives of the people.
Direct election of senator's is far
more firmly imbedded IN republican
policies than rate legislation. RE-
PUBLICANS HAVE GONE TOO FAR

REFLECT TOM WORD.

If Tom Word, sheriff of Multno-
NAH county, had done nothing in the
world to merit the esteem of the peo-
pie of Portland, the fact that the
Oregon Liquor Dealers association is
making a bitter and determined fight
against his denomination, should in
duce the law-loving people of Port
land to re-elect him by an over
whelming majority.
Whenever this aggregation of whis-
key dealers goes out after the scalp
of a public official, that is sufficient
reason for the law loving people of
the state to tie to that official.
Because Tom Word has enforced
the laws in Portland and has refused
to be dominated in his official acts
by this octopus of law-byeaking, he
is now made the target for its viii
lainous political practices.
1t is time for the people of Oregon
to sit down upon this whiskey influ-
ence in state politics. 1t is time for
the people to ferret out its secret al
lies among politicians and lay their
true character bare to public view.
In every city and hamlet in the
state this liquor dealers association
is arrayed against public morals. 1t
engages in city elections, dominates
conventions and selects candidates as
far as possible and the party which
ties to it should be exposed in its Sc
cret rotteness.
People should be for or against
good morals. They cannot be neutral
in local affairs, permitting this agen-
cy of law-breaking to dominate city
and county, and yet pose as evangels
of decency when the struggle is over
and the apparent danger to their po-
litical fences is past.
The same fight which is being
made on Tom Word in Portland is
being made on Walter Pierce and
others in this and adjoining counties,
for no other reason that that he
openly defied the whiskey ring and
stood against its proffered comprom-
ises, its threats, its coercion and its
intrigues.
1t is time for Oregon to sit down in
indignation upon this organized band
of lawbreakers. 1t merits this name
by its practices. The East Oregonian
judges it solely by its public acts,
while having due respect for many in
dividual members.

ing himself.
What is Statement No. 1" and
what hidden meaning or portent does

ism of the week-kneed brethren who

believe it is right and in accordance
with the teachings ana principles OF

1.-The federalist party, founded by
Hamilton, did not trust the people
very far, and was succeeded by the
democracy Of jefferson and Jackson
Democracy came to stand for section
alism and special privileges to the
slave power and was in turn displaced
by the republicanism Of Lincoln, un-
der whom the rights Of the people

Selfish interests in Portland are
trying to defeat the plans of the north
bank road to enter that city by way
of a bridge over the Columbia river,
on the plea that the bridge will in
terfere with commerce. If Portland
will awaken and assist in building an
other road into that city to help haul
in the products, the world which
needs those products will look out
for their expectation. The main
thing is to enable the grower to ship
his products INTO the metropolis;
shipping them OUT is small matter
to be considered afterward.

IDAHO'S LATEST MAN.

1.-THE LATEST man I ever saw" said
a travelling man to a group Of fellow
drummers at Chestnut street cafe
recently, twas not tramp nor cop,
but a station agent in a little one
horse village In Idaho.
"After had finished what little
business could do in the town, l went
down to the railroad station to buy a
ticket for my next stop. The lazy
station master sat on n broken-down
office chair his feet on the desk and a
pipe in his mouth, unlit. When ask
ed for the ticket he slowly reached up
to the rack, drew it out, handed 1t to
me and took my money without be-
slowing a glance upon me or moving
from his chair.
"'That's the LATEST thing I ever
saw | said to him. If you can do
anything lazier than that I'll give you
this dollar without the slightest
curiosity or even interest the loafer

LOVE TRIUMPHANT.

Helen's lips are drifting dust.
1lion is consumed with rust:
All the galleons of Greece
Drink the oceans dreamless peace:
Lost was Solomon's purple show
Restless centuries ago;
Stately empires wax and wane-
Babylon, Barbary and Spain
Only one thing undefaced
Lasts. though all the worlds lie waste
And the heavens are overturned:
Dear how long ago we learned!
There's a sight that blinds the sun,
Sound that lives when sounds are
done,
Music that rebukes the birds,
Language lovelier than words,
Hue and scent that shame the rose,
Wine no earthly vineyard knows,
Silence stiller than the shore
Swept by Charon's stealthy oar,
Ocean more divinely free
Than Pacific's boundless sea
Ye who love have learned 1t true;
Dear how long ago we knew!

If you're dreaming of heaven,
Build 1t here.

With our cheer;
We can bury woe so deep
That he ne'er will upward creep;
We can grain of gladness reap,
Never fear.
If you be to heaven winging,
Wipe your eye.
You'd look well hosannas singing
With a sigh,
You'd look Well harp to play,
Moaning, groaning all the day!
