SURPRISING BRICHTISM

Evidently ex-Sheriff William H.
Bright has the Wildwood City Com
missioners, together with their political
followers, OF the run. Ever since his
purchase ofthe Wild wood "Sunn Edi-
tor Bright has handed his political
friends hot shots in form of double COL
umn first page articles that made May
or Smith and Commissioners Ryan
and Hendee sizzle and bake.
Recently Mayor Smith fixed Editor
Bright n hundred dollars and COM
PEELED him to pay twenty dollars extra
for mercantile licenses on his news
paper and real estate offices, the fine
being for failure to pay the 1916 mer-
camille taxes. At least so a dispatch
from Wildwood in a Philadelphia con-
temporary tells us.
But soon will Editor Bright's vitrio-
lie pen be stilled and his editorial &C.
Invites come to an end-at least at the
helm of the Wild wood "Sun".
Threats, p%leadings. reasoning, and fin
ally fines, were like water on the pro-
verbal ducks back, so 1t has been con-
cluded, according to reliable informa-
ton, to do the next best thing to get
rid of Brightism-buy his paper,
which has been for sale for some time
past.
The plans are to raise sufficient
money by the sale of stock among the
County Democrats and conduct the
"Sun" as a Democratic newspaper.
With the sale of the Sea Isle City
"Review" eighteen months ago the
last Democratic paper in Cape May
County passed out of being, so that the
Sun" will be welcomed with open
arms.
1t is said that o. L. Black we'll, Presi-
dent of the County Tax Board, aud
Evans G.Slaughter, a prominent Wild.
wood politician, are back OF the pur-
chase. Both are supporters of the
Wildwood City administration which
Bright has been 80 mercilessly attack.
Ing.
The Times, for one, will welcome it's
Democratic contemporary and wishes
it all the success possible. We believe,
no viewer, that some few Wildwooders
will find that publishing a newspaper
Is rather an expensive proposition.
This, however, is for time to tell Sea
Isle City Times.

Two Acts Which Conflict.

Chapter 270 of the laws of 1916 pro
vided that a person convicted of muir
der in the first degree shall be impris-
oned at hard labor for life If the jury
before whom he is tried so recon-
mends. Previous to the passage of
that act there was but n penalty
fixed by law for this crime-namely,
death. | feel satisfied that it vas the
intention of the legislature in passing
the act of 1916 that every person found
guilty of murder in the first degree.
If saved from execution by the recon-
m%endation of the jury, should serve
the full life sentence unless pardoned
or paroled by the court of pardons I'M
der its constitutional power, and yet
such may not be the result, because
chapter PA of the laws of 1914 pro
yides that any person sentenced to
prison for the term of his life may be
released on parole by the board Of
nrison inspectors after he has served
fifteen years. The apparent conflict
between these two acts should be EN-
ediec; otherwise an opportunity for a
miscarriage of justice is left open.

ice from the date on which they re-

Upon the refusal of such men to
enter voluntarily the service OF the
