ANGRY DEMOCRATS

From the Dover State Sentinel
Many Democrats are very angry be-
cause Delaware Republicans have united
to nght the Democratic party and
iis "olcies and especially the corrupt
machine. We say many Democrats adj
V.seuiy, and we carefully refrain from
saying all Democrats, for it IS no Sc
cret that many Democrats are glad
that they are TO have help In doing
what they want done but have not the
strength or the courage to do 10. They
want TO smash The Salisbury machine
because 10 is so absolutely selfish and
because It is so absolutely for the ben
eft of Salisbury and his pets Under
salisbury, the man who wants a favor
must be either a slave TO Salisbury
or an opponent whom salisbury thinks
is worth while TO win. Here is where
"a part Of the trouble comes in. Sauls-
bury has sought to win his personal
following by rewarding those who
were for him and by trying to buy,
at the expense OF State Or national pat
rOnage. those who while posing as
Democrats, have opposed SALISBURY
He has rewarded many Of his friends
but when he tries to buy his political

blue Democrats who have served the
Democratic party for g generation with
out hope OF reward. Not a Wolcott
man gets a peep-in under Salisbury.
With Salisbury out Of the way the
Wolcott men would get all, as long as
the Democratic Administration con-
tlnues in power; hence there is quiet
and secret--not very quiet and not very
secret-rejoicing at the certain defeat
Of Salisbury under united Republl-
can PARTY In the Slate.

Nine months OF tho calendar year 1918 were under the

The following year under near-free-trade with i'm
ports increasing s22OOOOOO exports declining SOP 100000

1916 did the effects Of Canadas heavy buying become
apparent in trade and by last year this had reached
volume which began to create uneasiness the Cauucs
breast hence the steps which win be taken to curia
purchases in our market, probably directed to COM
modes not considered essential to the conduct Of the
war.
10 viii be observed that while imports from Canada
increased 1870 cent 1917 i9i3 exports to Canada
Increased only iO6 per cent Meanwhile our generous

with Canada which continues our market on a free

saying that Canada has the advantage both ways in the

BIOOmer Girls Didn't Come
to Wildwood

The New York Bloomer girls didn't
materialize last Saturday, nor Sunday
as announced, and much disappolnt-
ment was felt by base ball devotees.
Kelly said Porter was heart-broken
over the matter. According to infor-
nation given out by the base ball man
ager the Bloomer girls, in high spirits,
were burning up North Jersey roads
last Saturday forenoon, in their swift
auto. Being discreet young women,
they stopped at Trenton to phone
Wildwood relative to weather condi-
tons. Hotel Ruric was called and
Porter asked for. George being out at
the time, the girls said all they wanted
to know was about the weather. Moth
ing vas said about a guarantee. A
lovely summer shower happened to be
s%prinkling the parched earth at that
moment, and the person at this end of
the wire, unwittingly exclaimed: "Oh!
it's rainingm That settled 1t; and the
girls said the games were off and hur-
riedly hung up the receiver. Funny
girls" some will say, "to let go, SO
easy" The only bloomer girl ION
deck" last Saturday was our own Hat
tie Baker, who had been slated to pitch
for Wildwood. Hattie looked swell
logged out as she was In q stunning
bloomer suit of black and white; and
she wore a sailor hat. She was in the
pink Of condition and was prepared to
send the sphere over the plate with
swift and unerring accuracy.

War Camp Community Service
Club

The meeting announced in last
weeks JOURNAL to take place on We'd
nesday, August 14th, at the home of
Mrs. Thomas Msrtindale, was held at
the time and date specified. This
meeting, which was attended by 81
representatives of the organizations
composed exclusively Of women on
Five Mile Beach, had been called at
the instance Of Leon A. Harvey, of
New York City, representing war de-
partment and navy department COM
missions on training camp activities in
wal camp community service. Prac-
ticallay 20 womens' associations were
represented at the gathering on We'd
nesday last. On being introduced MI.
Harvey entered at once upon his mis-
sion. AT first he manifested a little
embarrassment because of the fact that
he found himself standing with his
back to some of the auditors. Quickly
shifting his position so that his back
was toward the east wall of the COM
modious living room, he soon became
at ease and gave a quiet talk that was
listened to with serious attention. 1t is
interesting to note how much better
any one can acquit himself when cir
cumstances force him into a position
with his back to the wall.' Mr.. Har-
vey dwelt mainly on the peculiarities
of this war, and the super-prominence
of what is known as 'schrechlick"
(frightfulness), or cruelty against hui
manity. Hospitality to the soldiers and
sailors, outside of camps. aids greatly
to increase the morale of the men and
thus multiply the degree of their ef-
ficiency when they "go over" Tenta-
tive plans of arranging for the establish
ment in Wildwood of a community
club house for the boys were discussed,
and proper committees created to en-
gage in the necessary preliminary
work. Full details of all moves will be
given In the Journal as made from time
to time. Someone has suggested that
the Germans or Huns have suited the
word to the action in vainly employing
"Schrechlicheitn to describe "deeds
without a name"

WILDWOOD CREST

How would you like to take a ride
on the pillows? That is the desire that
comes over one while standing way
out on the Crest fishing pier, and
watching the huge swell of the tides
as they roll so p~rettily shoreward.
The ocean looks somewhat different
when viewed 700 feet out from the land
and before the pillows break and foam.
There was a fishing contest, beginning
last Saturday evening and continuing
for two evenings more Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings, 18th and 14th)
between the Crest ~"regulars" and the
Crest commuters" as to which group
could land the most fish. Both sides
were boastful and defiant, and as the
time for argument had about ceased,
William G. Mcguire, the vice presi-
dent of the club, to settle the matter,
offered a private prize of ten dollars in
gold to the winners, the trial of skill to
be made on three evenings. Five con-
testants and two substitutes were Sc
lected by each side. E. j. Hockenbury
picked out and marshalled the force of
regulars, and F. E. Willsher performed
q similar act for the Commentators"
Result will be announced next week.
All day Tuesday and Wednesday last
a free for all club contest was on.
Three prizes were offered as follows:
To the person catching the greatest
number of king fish, a duck call; for
the highest score on weak fish, a bass
lure; and for the most goodies, a mon
nix wobbler. All sorts of devices are
used in catching fish; there are wob-
blers and wigglers and wagglers! Mr..
Hockenbury was trying, the other
morning, a pork rind bait. That
sounds good. but it isn't pork at all.
It's only rubber, made to look like a
piece of bacon skin. Mr.. Weak Fish
is the kind that Mr.. Hockenbury was
trying to inveigle with this deceptive
bait. You can learn lots about the
art of fishing by watching experts like
the clubs secretary as he trolls for the
"finnies." Miss Jennie Commins, of
Vineland, but at 125 east Heather road
for the summer, caught last week at
three different times seven, six and
three founders respectively. When
asked if she were the founder special
ist on that pier, Miss Commins laughed
and said: cit seems that way, but l
caught two kings also," she hurriedly
added. "One of these weighed nine
teen ounces Last Monday evening
the club Was treated to q moving pic
ture exhibition in the club house on
the pier by E. F. Wilsher. Most Of
the pictures thrown on the screen de-
picted hunting and fishing scenes, for
MI. Wilsher is not only a disciple of
Izaak Walton, but a follower In the
footsteps Of the mighty nimrod. The
club house was filled with members
and invited guests to see this exhibit
ton.
Charles Maneval, of 6102 Park boule-
ward, lived in Johnstown, Pa, in 1889,
the year of the big Johnstown disaster.
In that flood his sister and his niece
were drowned and also his son, who
was at the time but fourteen years OF
age. Maneval's own life was miracu-
lousy spared In that deluge. The

They are at the first quarter and
off for the half mile. Mr.. l. Il. jumps
unexpectedly in first place and Mr.. L.,
H. is close on his heels, but as the
latter is so young in the game 1t looks
impossible to pull him over the line a
winner. Mr. j. p. is completely out
of the race at this time. The little
black haired Brown only smiles as she
looks on. One of the greatest races
for honor ever undertaken in this

a good account of themselves in time.

At the bottom of his missive he asks
