GOOD NEWS FOR COMMUTERS

Recognizing that Atlantic City has
become in fact a y~ear-round suburb
of Philadelphia, and that the winter
patronage of the New Jersey resorts
further south is also increasing, the
Pennsylvania Railroad has decided to
withdraw the six months season hmi-
tation heretofore placed on the use of
the 150-ride individual ticket. The
change will apply also to Ocean City,
Wildwood, Cape May and interme-
date seashore points.
Under the tariffs now in effect the
l5O-ride tickets are good only from
May 1st to October list, inclusive, COW
ering the late spring, summer and
early fall seasons. The Railroad Com
pany believes that the privilege OF
using such tickets the year round
would prove valuable and that he
traffic is now of sufficient volume dur
ing the winter months to warrant their
issuance.
Beginning with December 18th, next,
these tickets will, therefore, be sold
at any time during the year n Will
be good for six months from late OF
issue.
The tickets, as heretofore, will re-
quire the users photograph to be at-
tached for Identification and to pre-
vent misuse. They will trans
portation to and from Market Street
Wharf and will be good on Delaware
River Bridge trains upon payment Oh
the bridge fare. The price OF the
150-rides will be 500.
Effective November goth, ten-trlp
tickets will be placed on sale, making
a material reduction in the supple
mental fare charged over n Dela-
ware River Bridge in connection Win

GEORGE BONN INQUEST

At the inquest held on Monday after
noon, October oath, at City Hall, over
the death of George Bohm, 65 years
old, of Cape May Court House, who
was fatally injured when a big motor
bus, operated by the Reliance Trans
pole near Cape May, the following
jury was empaneled: Joseph p. Brown,
foreman, Alfred W~interburn, William
E. Forcum, George 1. Stein, Warren
Mount and Willard Campbell. A num-
Der of witnesses were heard. The tes-
timony showed that the vehicle, driven
by Earl Emily, was going not less than
Is miles per hour and not more than
% miles. The accident was due to the
blowing out of a tire on one of the
front wheels, causing the vehicle to
swerve suddenly and dash against the
pole. Mr.. Bohm, who was sitting on
the steps, by means of which the a
is entered from the front, had his legs
crushed and also sustained internal
injuries. He died not long after hav-
ing been taken to Mace's Hospital IN
North Wildwood. The %coroner's jury
censured the management of the Re-
lance Co. for the excessive rate of
speed at which the motor buses are
often driven, but exonerated the
driver from all blame for the fatal
mishap, below Erma on Sunday after
noon, October 23d.

"NEvERS" FOR JERSEY HUNTERS
Suggested by the New Jersey Fish
and Game Commission

Never load your gun until you are
ready to hunt. Never carry it loaded
in trolley cars, trains, automobiles
or other vehicles and never leave it
loaded around the house. Remove the
shells the moment you stop hunting.
Never lean your loaded gun against
a tree or fence.
Never shoot until you distinctly see
your game. 1t may be your compan-
ion or your dog rustling in the brush.
Jail or the madhouse is the place for
the man who shoots at an object with
out being absolutely sure of its iden-
tity.
Never, for a moment longer, hunt
with a gunner you discover to be care
less. Beat it for home before they
have to carry you there!
Never point a gun at another per-
son in jest. It's the didn't know it
was loaded" gun that plays a CHASTITY
joke on the pointer and p%ointee.
Never jump a ditch or climb a fence
with a gun unless the shells are re-
moved. Never draw a gun through
the fence with the muzzle toward you.
Never rest on the muzzle of your
gun-unless you are seeking eternal
rest. Never poke the muzzle OF your
gun into the ground unless o are
| anxious to see a barrel explosion a
few inches in front of your nose the
next time you pull the trigger.
Never "hog' all the game. Never
kill more than you can Immediately
use. You, yourself, may want to go
cunning next year.
Never fail to kill the tramp cats
you find in the woods and fields. They
prey upon birds valuable to the farmer
and destroy much young game.
Never hesitate to report to wardens
or the State Fish and Game Commits
| sion, in confidence, all violations of
the game laws. These laws must be
| enforced to conserve game for the
benefit of all sportsmen.
Never grow "too old" to enjoy a
days sport with rod or gun.

Label the Park Spoilers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Would it not be a fitting
punishment to compel every despoiler
and litterer to wear badge for two
weeks on which might be stamped

The city could provide several thou

park policeman with dozen or more,
which he could carry around with him
on his daily beat ready to fasten upon
an offender who threw down paper,
fruit skins or peanut shells.

Vandals Unpunished

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The protest of "a. L. P" will
be echoed by all lovers Of our parks
and wild spots now being utterly
ruined by vandals utterly destitute of
a civic consciousness or even of COM
mon deceney.
What makes the matter almost hope-
less, however, as in the parallel case
of our sanitary regulations for the
protection of all the people, is the un-
accountable callousness of certain of
cur magistrates, who render enforce
ment of the law wellnigh impossible.

a magistrate administered reprimand
to the police for doing their plain duty
II endeavoring to save our parks from
destruction because, forsooth, it was
lnconvenient for his honor to t1y so
many cases! When magistrate takes
this attitude, park vandals, subway
smokers, sidewalk spitters and other
anti-social persons naturally feel that
they can do as they please and that
the public will have no redress. Are
they not about right?

The National Anthem

To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The controversy regarding
"The star-Spangled Banner" as our au-
thOrized national hymn has brought
out number Of interesting letters in
your paper.
1t may be of interest to know the
subjsct was considered during the Civil
War. The New York Times, in an eI;-
torial said:
"A national hymn seems almost as
indispensable an appanage of nation
aiity as 2 national flag. Patriotic feel
Ing excited by any unusual Incident al
ways seeks expression in noise and
music. That we have thus far been
without secOgnized national hymn
must be attributed partly to the brev-
ity of our national existence
Speaking of the popular tunes Of the
day, the editorial says of THE Star
Spangled Banner:
The music, the tune, requires a
compass of voice quite uncommon
merely Il" sing. The notes and verse
are SO intricate and in one of the
stanzss so harsh and SO il-adapted to
vocallzation that it fails entirely 20
fulfill the Office of a national song. All
attempts to modify this air have only
succeeded in taking away some of its
Characteristic spirit. without making it
more singable for the masses of the
people"
What The Times said of "The Star
Spangled Banner" in 1861 is just as
applicable to-day. Many of the at
tempts during our last great war to
sing our national hymn were pitifuI
In 1851 committee was appointed
to call for the production Of a national
American hymn and to offer a prize OF
$500 for the same The committee
made simplicity, both in words and
music an essential condition. The fol-
lowing is in substance the report of
the Committee Upon National
flynn, dated August 9, 1851:
They received 1900, manuscripts;
only one-third furnished new music
and words. Every manuscript received
was read and duly considered Every
musical composition was performed

torlous were heard in solo and chorus.

Pioneer With Stirring Memories

To the Editor of -rba Tr;h,,,n

~ Wv A&oteoi on Inc iT1Dune.
Sir: The opening of Oklahoma April
%, 1889, was an important event in the
history OF America. 1t was the cul-
mination of long fight between the
people on the one side, clamoring for
iahu, and the so-callcd cattle barons'
on the other. 1t was the wedge which
IN few years opened millions Of acres
of land to settlement and cultivation,
caused the organization of Oklahoma
Territory, later the extinction of the
indian Territory and finally the admis-
sion to the Union of the present State
of Oklahoma,
had the good fortune to be person
ally and officially identified with those
stirring days The only place that has
been, or probably will be, accorded me
in history is a short notice in an early
publication of those days edited by
one of the pioneer women.
Many of those early settlers have
achieved fame and fortune. Some Of
them | have on more than one occa-
sion "staked" to "a stack of wheats" at
one of the many short order houses
in Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Chandler,
Perry and other towns, the prevailing
price of which in those days was 20
cents. The price OF a pint bottle of
Budweiser was 81.
Those pioneers came from and now
are scattered throughout every state
of the Union.

lted many of it's beautiful cities, which
IN those first days were cities of tents

mense blocks of brick, stone and con-

credit to Riverside Drive have supplant-
ed the dirt streets, the plank sidewalks

| am informed that Oklahoma has an
old settlers society which celebrates
each year the anniversary of the open
ing of Oklahoma, April %, 1889. l

papers that this day is held in the
same esteem as the year 1849 of Cali

equal Importance. To the writer's per-

who have many "reminiscences and

has been suggested to me to form an

Excessive Fire Losses
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "The Insurance
Burden" in last Sundays Tribune init
mates that the fire insurance compa-
nies are in measure responsible for
the present excessive fire losses. 1 be-
lieve you are right.
Fire insurance as at present conduct
ed has one very bad feature, namely,
every small loss, even if caused by the
carelessness Of the insured, is paid.
This is wrong.
The proper method would be to
make the insured bear the loss up to,
say, 10 per cent of the policy, the in
surance company paying any loss above
this to the full amount of the poicy.
If the insured knew that he woud be
the first to suffer loss from any fire it
would make him more careful. 1t would

would save She insurance companies
the expense and annoyance of adjust
ing many small losses.
Under this system fire insurance
rates could be reduced, bat that is just
what the companies do not want.
