and Serious, Condensed

THE VALUE OF sEAsHoRE RESORT
ADVERTISING

THE VALUE OF sEAsHORE RESORT
ADVERTISING
1t is safe TO say that with the ex-
ception of Newark, by reason of her
manufactures; Jersey City, by reason
of her railroad and steamship terminals,
and Trenton because of her historical
associations, no town in New Jersey is
better known throughout the continent
than is Atlantic City. This is all the
more remarkable. says the Trenton
State Gazette, because Atlantic City
has no manufactures, is no terminal
and has generally noimportant colonial
or revolutionary history. Atlantic
City has relied upon her beach and
climate as the basis for prominence.
These two elements do not distinguish
Atlantic City from Cape May, yet one
is great and the other, until recently
lived upon past glory
If advertising ever paid, Atlantic
City is the best proof of its value.

MODEST SHIP SUBSIDY
Seven mail services to South
America and Oriental ports and pro-
vided for in the ship subsidy bill re-
ported to the House. The steamships
which will form this postal service
must be built in the United States on
designs approved by the Navy Depart
ment, with view to use as auxiliary
cruisers or transports, and must be held
at the disposal of the government in
time of war. They are to train Ameri-
can seamen for the navy. The bill
also provides for naval reserve made
up of skilled officers and men of the
merchant marine, including the fish
cries. The senseless prejudice against
ocean marine subsidy that exists in
the West must yield to the necessity
for this moderate bill, which gives
promise of so much for our ocean com
merce, for foreign trade and our navy

MANKIND Is MADE OF SOAP
An exchange gives an account of a
lecture delivered before the Harvey
Society, at the Academy of Medicine,
Philadelphia, by Prof. j. d. Adami.
'Man is made of soap and not of dust, /"
states this professor Of course, man
is not entirely made of soap, but there
are scattered through his body an un-
knovs14 aaea14rter-of tiny giobules, called
"myelins,o which are now believed to
be primitive form of true soap.
1t is the only pure type of soap on
earth, and scientists say it may be that
man was originally constructed on a
self-cleansing principle.
All he had to do was to exercise his
will power-think hard and set his
myriads of soap globules in motion.
The soapy nature of human beings has
been discovered by means of the polar
izing microscope.

Highway Inspection.

Next month a bill passed by the
recent legislature Will become eff
fective creating the office of state
highway inspector. This new law is
the result of the agitation for good
roads and the work of Senator
Thorn and Delegate Parsons in the
legislature.
The state highway inspector is to
he a man competent to know what
good roads are, how they are made
and how to keep them in repair. 1t
will he his duty TO visit the different
counties of the state and make in
speetions of the roads and ascer-
tain what material there is in mother
earth in the State of West Virginia,
that will help to provide better
system of public highways in the
state Of West Virginia. He makes a
report to the next legislature the
same as other state officers recon-
mending what changes are needed in
the present road laws to bring about
a better condition. His salary has
been placed at $4,000 per year. and
he will have an office in the state
house.
The appointment OF such inspector
is left to the governor of the state.
HUI Maxwell. of Morgantown, is a
candidate for the place. Mr.. Max
well is certainly splendidly well
qualified for the position. He has
travelled over the state extensively,
knows its formation and topography
quite well and is a learned gentle
man. He has been an earnest advo-
cate through his paper. the Morgan
town Chronicle, Of good roads, and
the Telegram believes he is the man
for the place.

council that he did not hold any en-.

that he believed all should work to

The Now Administrntion.

SldTksbuFS IS now governed by q
new city administration. Harvey
W. Harmer has stepped down and
out Of the responsible office of mayor
in accordance with the desires OF
the people expressed by ballot and
Mayor Lafayette c. Grille has assum-
ed executive charge of the city's af-
fairs. All of the other officers elect
ed at the recent city election have
also taken up the duties of their
respective positions, but as the most
of them were reelected there will be
no unusual departure in the conduct
OF their Offices save only as it relates
to the fulfilment of the instructions
given by the chief executive and the
city council.
Mayor Grille enters upon the duties
of his Office at time when the city
faces singularly radiant and pros
Porous future. He takes up the
duties of the position in circum-
stances particularly suspicious ana
encouraging. The antagonisms OF
the recent municipal campaign are
over and forgotten. and Mayor Grille
begins service as general manager Of
the city government not only with
the encouragement and co-opera-
ton of his constituents who support
ed him in the campaign but also
with the cordial well wishes of those
who opposed his election. During
the ensuing administrative year
many things that will affect our
civic welfare win come up. The
population OF the city will be in
creased considerably with the COM
ing of number of new Industrial
establishments. Commerce, Industry
and general business activity is al
ready beginning to expand to pro-
portions never before experienced in
the history of the city. The PROPOSE
ton to issue bonds for public i'm
provements may come up for con
sideration. There is great amount
of necessary public improvements to
be looked after in any event. With
the growth OF the city as Indicated
many other matters OF public i'm
portance win naturally arise that
will require attention that hitherto
has been unnecessary.
All these things will require more
effort and greater administrative APP
plication than in times gone by.
They will require, rigorous. intelli-
gent. impartial. calm. iudicious
executive accomplishment. The
citizens carefully considered these
features in the recent campaign and
the confidence placed in the eficienc,
and ability of the present mayor was
such that he was selected to carry
out the responsible duties of the Of
flee he now occupies. The people
have faith in Mr.. Grille and they be-
lieve that he win carry ont TO the
letter his promises made at the con-
vention that nominated him and re-
iterated by word and in the press.
To fulfil his promises and to dis
charge the duties of his Office to the
best Of his ability, Mayor Grille
should be given the cordial and
hearty support of every citizen.
Every. resident should do all In his.
power to assist in the welfare.
growth and progress of the city. He
should assist to the full extent OF
his individual effort to make our
city better and bigger. In doing
this he is helping himself and his
city rather than any political party
organization.

The annual settlement with the
commissioner of water works this
year will show a considerable in
crease in the amount of money raised
from that source, though the rates
are practically the same as the year
before. except little adjustment
with a few large consumers. The
statement will show the total re-
ceipts of the present year to be $751;
40, or about $S,719 more than last
year. This speaks well for Captain
CaIlaghan and his assistant and is
an evidence that they are carefully
putting the water works on a pay
ing basis and doing it without hard
ship to any one. The record of the
coming year will doubtless be even
better than that of the year just past.
