PREPARING FOR ANNUAL cAMPMEETING.
Meeting at Camdeu Camp Grounds Will Be 10
Tents During August-Oiher Camps.


Tents During August-0lber Camps.
A meeting was held on the Camden
camp grounds recently, attended by
persons from all parts of Kent County
and representing people from neighbor-
hood of Maryland. Rev. B. F. Jester, pas
tor in charge of the new camp meeting
which has been closed for six years,
appeared with a number of proposals
from Baltimore and Philadelphia
houses for furnishing tents. Pastor
Jester is believer in sanitary precau
tions in holding camp meetings and is,
therefore opposed to the erection of
board tents, but advocates the use al
together of the fresh canvas tents as
supplied by the tent makers. Pastor
Jester named an entire new board of
managers, with the exception of two of
the younger members of the old board
who are retained. Concord Circuit
near Denton, of which Rev. S. Ship
man is pastor, is arranging for a big
camp meeting this year at Concord,
which will also be re-opening. This
is one of the old rallying camp grounds
of the peninsula. 1t has been decided
to open the camp on August 3, and
these prominent citizens of Caroline
County will be in charge: L. H. Ever
ham, s. G. Nuttle, William t. Hignutt
and Otto Smith.

OBJECTORS TO
NEW POLICE ACT
WILL BE HEARD

number OF local men who have
watched with interest the progress Of the
new Providence police commission act
In the assembly have addressed letters
TO the chairman -et-t senate eefafT4lttee
on judiciary. objecting to the passage Of
the bill.
Among them are Ex-Governor Charles
Dean Kimball, General William Ames, J.
NJ. Burlington, Richard b. Comstock and
Rev. A b. Cristy.
The principal objection raised seems TO
be that the authority 10 appoint members
OF the police commission should be vested
I'm the mayor alone, instead OF In the
mayor and board OF aldermen. as is pro-
posed by the bill.
In view OF the receipt of these letters
the committee has thought best 10 hold a
hearing on the matter next Tuesday, in
order TO let the parties present their argu-
ments for or against the measure.
while personally | would like 10 see
the control or the force in the hands OF
a single commissioners, appointed only by
the mayor" said one OF teh oldest officers
on the force TO-DAY, 80 far as getting the
force back into politics ia concerned, that
Is al rubbish.
II haven't the slibhtest doubt that the
men who oppose giving the aldermen the
power, OF confirmation are absolutely. sin
cere I'm their belief that the present state
out OF politics, and 80 / suppose it's nat
ural that they may have some doubts as
to giving the aldermen any grip upon II.
But anyone who is on the inside and
even some keen observers from the out
side--snyone long familiar with the
workings OF the department-kaows that
politics are in the department, and the
department is I'm politics.
THE trouble isn't with the ordinary
average patrolman, however He is, gem
orally speaking an honest, faithful man,
disposition TO get into the hot water of
politics.
THE real political activity is higher

can see II in every election. In the first
place. the commission, as now existing.
r. created by the state political machine,
and II doesn't seem as II II was necessary
TO argue the matter any further. That
settles IL. TO my mind.
And don't you think-even granting
that the department he In politics
10 some extent-and it's hard to see how
II can be altogether free from politics in
any event-don't you think It's better 10
have its political activity confined 10 our
own city affairs than 20 have Il doml-
mated BY the big Republican machine that
runs the state?
Local politics. If any at all. for mine.
I don't believe however. there'l be half
as much politics in II II the commission
