Communicated

Several weeks ago the House by a
vote of 188 to 106 declined to increase
the salaries of the members of the
cabinet, justices of the Supreme court,
senators and representatives. Ofcourse,
you must remember that these gentle
men are very poorly paid employees of
the people and the country, and no
doubt not one of the gentlemen refer
red to is worth less than hundred
thousand dollars and several of them
more than that and yet they are dicker-
ing in "you push and We'll shove it
along,n way that is enough to make q
fox ashamed of his family. Sure, every
one should be willing to give these
poor men a raise in their salary, as
they work SO hard and lose SO much
sleep, while the letter carriers, life
savers and few other branches of the
Civil Service, such as the men on light
ships who get all of 25 dollars a month
need no attention at all. For instance
look at the overpaid life savers, they
get $500 per month, get about six
hours sleep out of the twenty-four must
answer every call for assistance, buy
their own clothes, feed themselves at
the stations and their own families at
home, have one day and night at home
out of from one week to four, depend
ing on the weather; 60 out and patrol
the beach in good and bad weather,
move stations, paint, keep the house
clean, drill every day rain or shine, buy
gum boots and oil skins, cook one
week each, not allowed to leave the
station excepting they hire substi-
tute, enjoy the strictist discipline, risk
their own life for others, and no doubt
some of them have to endure the
society of men they do not at all love
or enjoy, be censured for every trifie,
and when worn out with old age turn
ed down for defective vision or dis
ability, they receive pension from the
Government for two years or in all
100000 for being disabled for life and
useless to themselves and others. Is it
not grand thing to see our poor over
worked Senators and Congressman
asking for raise in their own salaries
when they provide SO bountifully fol
the life savers.
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1907-01-23

My! My!! My!!!, A wave of prosperi-
ty, disparity or whatever you may call
it has stricken Anglesea in all Its saw
age fury. They have reduced the
salary of the Marshal from $4,000 to
$500 per month, and that person very
quickly showed his disapproval by
Immediately resigning his position.
Also they have placed the engineers
position on a salary instead of per-
centage as heretofore. Keep the good
work up, gentlemen, but be sure that
you replace the old with as good
material as you had at first.
No doubt, like all other things, there
will be division on the question of
the consolidation of the four places as
one city. AS question with only one
side, would be funny thing, and if
we all thought alike, such thing
would be still funnier yet. | heard a
discussion on Friday of the matter be-
tween two interested persons and no
doubt both of them put up very good
argument for their own side. If were
the people, which / am not, and a
good thing for consolidation, [ would
say, no consolidation for me, for this
reason. Each Borough is, at the pres
ent time, enjoying pleasures of their
own, which, should the rest of the
Boroughs become united in would
make the worst case of jealousy that
you could imagine, as Wildwood would
want something the rest wouldn't let
her have, Anglesea would want offi-
GERS that the rest of the beach wouldn't
have, Holly Beach would get some
thing that the others would want and
if they all got what they wanted the
people would kick and call us grafters,
hogs and pigs. There would be rivalry,
everything readjusted, and how could
there be fair division of offices and
Office holders, as each place would
want it's Mayor, Councilmen, and lots
of other things that we don't think of
at the present time. | would say this,
that if we wish to consolidate wait un-
til each Borough has its own place in
a presentable and equal manner as far
as possible and become SO we can COM
mand place in history as place OF
all places and can get clear of some OF
our unequal debts; then let us think

Il JOURNAL TALKS
a TO ADVERTISERS
When TO Quit
Advertising

An English journal requested a
number of its largest advertisers to
give their opinions concerning the best
time to stop advertising, and the
following replies were received:
When you forget the words of the
shrewdest and most successful men
concerning the main cause of their
prosperity.
When competing houses in your line
of business cease starting up and using
the newspapers in telling people how
much better they can do for them than
you can.
When you have convinced every
body in your territory that you have
better goods and lower prices than they
can get anywhere else.
When the population ceases to
multiply and the business cannot
possibly cover larger field.
When you would rather sit back and
sleep than be up and waiting on
customers.

The Cape May Harbor

The project to establish harbor of
refuge at Cape May, N. j., received a
setback this week when a far from
favorable report was submitted to Con-
gress. The findings are by Major Flag
Ter. General Mackenzie lays the en-
tire matter before Congress with this
endorsement:
"Trhe plan is entirely feasible from
an engineering stand point, but the prop
osition for the general government to
join with private interests in creating a
harbor at a point where there is no
present commerce is an unusual one.
AS this case may serve as a precedent
in leading to material change in the
policy of dealing with new improve
ments, | concur in the views of the
division engineer, Colonel Stickney,
that this is question that only Con-
gress, in itsIwisdom, should decide"
The Cape MayI Development Com
pany, in which Philadelphia capital
lists are interested, is the "priyate in
terestn referred to by General Macken-
zie. 1t is developing Cape May and
Cold Spring Inlet.

mendicants and loafers, but of course
she, like all other towns, bas her share
of them. But there is no excuse for
any able bodied man being idle on this
beach, as we are enjoying the most
prosperous boom of any seashore place
along the coast.
The Carpenters Union has given no.
tice to the builders that on March 1st
they will refuse to work on a building
with non-union mechanics. Without
a doubt labor unions are good thing
until carried to extremes, as some of
them have done. The union must re-
member that when they refuse to work
on building, and if the master bull
ders refuse their demands, which they
probably will, they are not only taking
bread from their own families but they
are keeping other innocent people from
making the necessaries of life which
nature demands and which demand
must be needed. 1t is alright to de-
mand anything when you must have
it or nature demands it, but when it
comes to dictation from someone who
has the power to grant and refuse then
that is thing that must be met with
delicacy on the part of both parties.
| say, if you are not suited with the
present situation and think you are
entitled to more, then it is time to ask
for it in a respectable manner and not
demand it until refused, as no sane
man will turn you away without hear
ing both sides of story. If your de-
mands should be refused, then the only
thing to do is to get work in place
where your rules hold good and you
can work without resorting to violence,
and bad feeling or violence never Won
battle yet

for the best and all say CONSOLIDATED
No doubt most all of us have by this
time read all about the sad and horri-
BILE fate that has overtaken thousands
of people in Kingston, Jamaica, and
thought with shudder what sad
and awful fate such thing is to hap
pen to human beings that were short
time back enjoying the best of health
and looking forward to still better
things in the future. We must all
sympathize with the sad fates that are
bound to overtake some of us, as we
all know that none of us are infallible
and sooner or later we may be cut
down in the prime of life the same as
they, yet while we are thinking of the
awful fate of those far away have we
forgotten those that are suffering near
our own homes? Isn't there some one
in our own town that may be sick or
a cripple, helpless and poor that need
our sympathies as we'll as those far
away, some one that we can visit, send
bunch of flowers, a basket of fruit or
or give our attention to in way that
they will most appreciate? No one
knows but the sufferers themselves
how such kind acts as these have an
everlasting effect on our lives. Just
think now if we can't do just little
favor like this for some poor sufferer.
Just think of it, in Chicago there is
at present 10000 tramps. This means
that the city must feed surplus of
900 people, people that are willing
and able to roam from one place to
another and yet are too lazy to use the
energy and muscle that nature gave to
earn living in an honest and upright
manner. Chicago, like all other cities
and towns, has enough of its own poor
to feed without feeding an army oflazy
men. Well, such is the way of all
things. AS soon as Chicago gets the
chance she will run them out of town
and they will simply go somewhere
else and be fed. But what are we to
do about it? They won't work; they
must be fed and they depend on char
ity to do so and if charity won't do Sc
they will have money and victuals il
they have to rob to get it. Thanks to
Five Mile Beach, she is and has always
been very lucky about being clear Of
