Boy Scouts and Strawberry
Short Cake

In order 10 impress it's motto, "Be
Prepared upon the minds OF the Boy
Scouts of Wildwood Troop, Scout Mas
ter H. M. Liddell gave them a surprise
last Monday evening at his home, 224
west Poplar avenue. Several weeks
ago Mr.. Liddell promised the Scouts a
surprise which would take place upon
a meeting night In the near future, and
those Scouts who were present that
evening would enjoy 1t. On the lucky
night the boys were formed Ia line and
marched out OF their headquarters APP
parently to drill, but when they reach
ed the street they were kept moving
until they reached the above address,
where, they found fun prepared for the
evening. Rev. I. Fisher gave the boys
q talk on "Being Prepared The next
thing on the programme seemed to
tickle their palate, for they certainly
Owed into the strawberry short cake.
After the refreshments were served the
balance of the evening was spent in
playing games selected from the official
scouts handbook. Prizes were won by
Scouts Lloyd, Gardner and Let's.

Fisher, Rev. Thomas, of the Anglesea

No Recall Vote

The Supreme Court has rendered q
decision In the recall Of the City Com
m%issioners of Wildwood and it is in
favor of the commissioners, the opinion
being as follows:
ION December IL, 1913, petitions for
the recall of the Commissioners OF
Wildwood were filed with the city
clerk. On December 20. the clerk de-
termined that they were insufficient.
On December 20, amended petitions
were filed. Before the clerk had passed
upon the amended petitions, writs of
certiorari were allowed. On April 20,
1914, the writs were dismissed. On
May Ia, 1914. the clerk determined
that the second petitions were
insufficient. Nothing further APP
pears to have been done until
February 2, 1915, when the present APP
plications were mrde for writs OF mani
damus commanding the city clerk to
summit the petitions. Nearly nine
months, therefore, intervened between
the hostile action OF the clerk and the
present applications. We think that
where the continuance OF the right of
officers OF a municipality to hold their
offices is involved, n who seeks to.
turn them out and have an election
held for their successors should move
speedily. The matter ought moi to be
left uncertain for a time nearly equal
to one-fourth of the whole term of the
officers, or fully equal to one-fourth IL
allowance is made for the necessary
time consumed in court procedure.
For this reason we think that the writs,
which are discretionary writs, should
not be allowed, and the rules must be
discharged with COSTS"
1t may be said that the delay in bring
ing the mandamus proceedings was
due to the lawyer engaged In the case
before Lewis Starr was procured as
counsel.
The City Clerk and Commissioners
seem to bear a charmed life and they
will now serve out their time, which
expires next April.

The Census Enumerators

Thomas Hall and Thomas Tuso be-
gan June first to take the census for
the borough. They report being used
very c~ourteously by the people. No
unreasonable citizens have been en-
countered. 1t Vas said last week that
one woman gave notice that no census
enumeration need ask her when she
was going to be married or how many
lovers she had refused. Her worry
was all for nothing because the enum-
orators do moi ask foolish questions.-

have his cordial approval, but are dis
tinctly in harmony with his earnest
desire to stimulate the interchange of
traffic between the United States and

"Already the u~ndercurrents Of trade
point to new and well defined connec-

view Of the cordial feelings which have
always existed between the two gov
