INTOXICATION AND GUN
A BAD COMBINATION.

From the Mays Landing Record.
A drunken man with a gun is about
as dangerous a proposition as can be
imagined. He is a worse menace
than the drunken driver of an auto
mobile. So grave is this offense that
the Legislature should be of one mind
in passing Assemblyman Bertram E.
Whitman's measure, prohibiting per-
sons under the influence of intoXi-
cants from carrying a weapon.
1t is no uncommon sight to see
men prepare for a days cunning by
an all-night arouse and take with
them into the woods a generous sup
ply of their favorite beverages. No
real sportsman can be accused of this
~offense. 1t is almost invariably the
fellow who is "out for a good" time
regardless of game. Several resi-
dents last November witnessed an eX-
ample of extreme carelessness, when
a hunter came in from the woods car
rying a loaded gun and staggered up
Main Street, dropping his gun on the
road several times and leYelling the
weapon at a companion to make him
wait for him while he rested against
a telephone pole.
Let the bill pass.

COMMENDS THE PROBE
IN GASOLINE PRICE BOOST,

From the Cape May County Times.
To Assemblyman Whitman, of At
lantic county, all eyes are turned, for
it is he that introduced a resolution in
the Legislature last week providing
for a committee to probe the big raise
in the price of gasoline.
1t is high time that some such probe
is begun. Gasoline today sells for 81
cents a gallon, wholesale, against 10
cents a few months ago, and for no
apparent reason.
The Standard Oil Company has its
dealers SO tied up that they cannot
sell any other but Standard gasoline,
and it is soaring. The consumer is
the one to suffer.
1t is true that the raw materials 60
ing into the manufacture of gasoline
have advanced. But it is equally
true that they have not more than
doubled in price.
A probe, fearlessly and honestly
conducted, should bring some relief
if in no other way than to convince
the users of gasoline that the raise in
price is prompted by no other motive
than increased costs of manufacture.

Our battered old editorial heart is
just bubbling over with joy. We
knocked off grinding out copy for the
printers the other day and took a
stroll around town just for exercise.
Everywhere We went we found some
one who had a good word to say, ar
expression of good will to offer, and
not once did we hear a knock against
the town, the people, ourself or the
paper. Truly, it is good for any MAI
to live among such a whole hearted
and clean people. We hope to live

We Americans seem to be in some
doubt as to what will happen "after
the war;. British manufacturers are
not. They have bought twice as much
raw wool as last year. The quantity
on hand is far in excess of visible
needs and greater than could possibly
be used in making war supplies. The
fact is that British factories know
they have a free trade market await
ing them in America. In seven
months after the Democratic wool tar
if became effective, America increas-
ed her purchases of wooden goods
nearly $21, 200, 900, or nearly $3,O00,-
600 a month. The British manufac-
turer feels that they are safe in lay
ing in a huge stock of raw wool, for
they expect the American people to
retain the Democratic President on
the plea that che kept US out of the
war;.

Disguise it as Tumulty may, Presi-
dent Wilson's speechmaking trip in
the ~ostensible interests of the national
defence is mere political campaigning
for a reelection. Mr.. Wilson was a
late, reluctant, and we are inclined to
add the other word of the well-known
phrase, unimportant convert to the
cause of preparedness, while he has
been recognized from the beginning
of his career as a Jealous volunteer in
his own behalf. One word for defence,
two words for Wilson. This will
prove to be the demonstrable ratio of
the Wilson speeches when they are
made.

said he would.
These girls who have been disap-
pointed by the men who have led them
to believe that when they have made
an appointment it was sure to be
kept, have not the idlest conception
of what the average girls really think
of them for their lack of considera,
ton. Did this particular fact ever oc-

women who have found their beau
ideals as they really supposed, will
make all sorts of excuses for their
having broken their engagements re-
~peatedly? Scarcely ever will they come
out openly and lay the blame for their
hours of waiting alone in the parlor
until their going upstairs in detection
to just where it belongs. Other
young women and girls might consider
the mittened zone" not capable of at
tracing a beau ideal when one paid
court for awhile. 1t takes a young
woman's stanchest courage to face
her girl friends as we'll as gentlemen
callers and admit hat the beau who
had won her fancy from all others
had suddenly turned a cold shoulder
to her for some fairer, perhaps young
er or more attractive maiden, whose
charms he valued more than hers.
When that first little cloud of mis-.
trust crosses the horizon of the young
woman who is entertaining a bright,
pleasing beau, that he is adroitly try

1t isn't fair to her if he does her the

A young woman is usually afraid to

she d~iscourages his calling on her

the power of mere words how dear
he was to her.
Even if a husband does err in his
judgment now and then, he should not
be made to feel that he had committed
an objectionable folly. Wise is the
wife who throws her arms about his
neck, assuring him that she is sure
he has done everything for the best,
and that success will come their way
when he is least expecting it-that
her confidence in him is unshakable.
Such a husband will have renewed
strength to try again, aye, and keep
on trying until he really does win out.
Many a man has a dread of telling
his wife of his business affairs when
they go wrong, fearful of her upbraid-
ings, which would be but adding fuel
to the fire of his encouragement.
Don't find fault with a good, deserv-
ing husband. Worthy ones are hard
to get, being few and far between.
1t is in almost every instance the
man who has a happy home life who
succeeds and the man who is torment
ed at home who meets with ignomini-
Gus failure. Love and appreciation
are props of steel to keep a mans
courage from sinking.
I wish every petulant wife who Is
not doing her share in tightening her
husbands burdens would ponder yer
these words and make the resolve that
she will experiment on being more
kind and tolerant with her husband,
to spur him or to more successful
achievements. Finding fault with him
will insure his anger, discomfort with
his wife and home life. His wife's
love and confidence will help him
climb to success. Wives, think it
over.

If you have a husband who is trying
hard the best way he can to get along,
don't be a milestone around his neck
to hamper him in his bitter fight with
the harsh world. One word of encour.
agement from the woman he loves
will put heart and strength in him to
make renewed efforts; her sheer will
make him so respondent that the light
est blow struck at him by an unfeeling
stranger will force him down and out.
1t is every mans right to have a
happy home If he provides n for
his wife and assumes the responsible
ity of it's upkeep. If his nerves and
brain have been on the rack all day
by business cares and worries, he
should find peace, comfort, love, con
s%ideration and c~heerfulness within
the four walls of his home.

Ordinarily by this time Congress
would have passed one or two appro-

general record of a session eve prior
to the Christmas recess. This year,
however, not a single bill has been re-
ported, to say nothing of passed.
However, the session is likely to last
until the autumn leaves are falling
and there is ample time for the Dem
ocrats to make another new record
for reckless expenditure of the public
money. Extravaganza, be it remem-
