TALL CEDAR SMOKER

The new officers of Cape May
County Forest, No. Is, Tall Cedars of
Lebanon, have arranged a series of
events for 1923 that is bound to make
every member sit up and take notice.
The first event will be staged on Fri
day evening, January 18th. From all
reports this, a smoker, will be
crammed full of real fun for the men
and topped off with some fine eats.
This smoker and feed will be held at
Basketball Hall, Casino block, Oak and
Atlantic avenues, and is open to all
Tall Cedars and their male friends.
This is the first time in the history
of Cape May County Forest that the
members have been given the oppor-
tunity to bring their male friends to
one of their social gatherings. If you
are a Cedar bring a friend or two; if
you are not a Cedar get some Cedar
to vouch for you.

NORTH WILDWOOD COUNCIL
HOLDS SHORT SESSION

A short session of the North Wild
wood council occurred on Tuesday
evening at which time the reports of
the various departments for the month
of December were received, read and
ordered filed. In the collectors re-
port the total receipts showed ST.
913.0S, with expenditures of $75,732.-
so, leaving a balanceof $2,1S0.4S. The
plumbing inspectors report showed
collections for permits amounting to
$3S.25. The building inspectors re-
port showed permits issued for con-
struction work amounting to $76,220. =
The electrical inspectors report show
ed fees of STAB. A resolution of the
Board of School Estimate was read
showing that this body had approved
a budget for 1923 for the schools total
ing $18, 800. A resolution was adopted
by the council ordering payment to
Contractor Thompson for the sand de-
livered by him. Other bills for the,
month were also read and ordered
paid. Collector Peterson said that
H. H. Ottens had been to him asking
for water supply pipes along the Mace
tract. He stated that the present pipes
are but n inch pipes and not sufh7
cient to meet the demand for the Sec
ton. The matter was referred to the.
Water Committee for investigation and
report. The clerk brought up the fact
that the surety bond of Contractor Lee
on the garbage contract and Loeff1er
on street improvements had not as yet
peer filed. The solicitor said a rea-
sonable length of time should be al
lowed these contractors to do this
work, and if they then fail that new
bids can be called for. The matter
was left in the hands of the respective.
committees to take up with the con-
tractors. The work of laying up the
city dredge for the winter was also
placed in the hands of the committee.

NEW YEARS DAY EXCURSION

The one day excursion to Philadel-
phia last Monday, January LIST, over
the West Jersey and Seashore Rail-
road, on account of the annual Num-
mers' Parade, was well patronized,
Notwithstanding the very inclement
state of the weather that morning, re-
sulting finally in such a downpour of
rain that the big show had to be post
poned-said to be the only rival of
New Orleans Mardi Gras exhibition.
While the calling off of the big pageant
was a great disappointment to many
so%journers to the city founded by Will
liam Penn 24O years ago, yet it was
the wise thing to do under the cir
,cumstances, and the captains of he
numerous clubs are to be commended
for their prompt decision in the mat
ter in the face of much bitter criti-
cism. The parade is now scheduled
to start at, $3.50 tomorrow morning
from Broad and Dickinson streets and
to go over the usual route. The
Pennsy ticket agents on Five Mile
Beach reported the sale of 456 tickets,
as follows: 1874 were sold at the An
drew avenu station, 274 at Wildwood
avenue station and As at Anglesea. 1t
is probable that a few more persons
may have boarded the train at the
Crest, purchasing tickets for passage
to Philadelphia and return from the
conductor. The number of tickets
sold was phenomenal, when the de-
terrent factors are taken into consid-
Grafton. Had the day been favorable
at least a hundred more tickets would
have been purchased according to a
statement made by one of the agents
On New Years Day, in 1922, barely
over 100 tickets were sold; but there
were reasons for the limited patronage
then. The day was intensely cold;
there was a nipping and an eager air,
with a temperature not far from zero
and we had, besides, a mummers' pa
rade of our own. 1t will, be a long
time before allvpf the people here for
get the chilly atmospheric conditions
prevailing on that cold first of Janu-
airy day.

MOOSE STILL GROWING

Another lively meeting of Lodge No.
5S5 of the Loyal Order of Moose, was
held last week when two new mem
bers were received into the order.
Secretary tanning Myers received an
extension of the special d~ispensation
to take in new members at an initia-
tory fee of Sc until the first day of
April. During the past nine months
the lodge has increased almost so per
CEN in membership and with the
spirit that the members are showing
it is practically certain to make a
100 per cent growth in 1923. This
lodge received special notice in a re-
cent number of "Mooseheart Maya
zine" the national publication of the
order, for making a gain of 40 per
cent. This magazine article prompted
the writer to investigate the lodge and
he learned the following facts about
it. 1t conducts a vocational school
and home for children of Moose,
called "Mooseheart." 1t has a Won
derful new home for aged members of
the order who are no1longer able to
maintain themselves. This is called
"Moosehaven." 1t offers assurance to
the young married man with family;
the working man who is subject to the
vicissitudes of fortune, and to the
small salaried man that in the case
of his early death his dear les will
be taken care of and his children given
an education and trade.

connection with a system, OF private
peonage. Men who owed money were
forced into the service of the creditor
and were treated with great cruelty.
Some were murdered. There was no
shadow OF law for such a practice Of
forced labor in that case. In Florida
the law not only tolerated but actually
provided for the use of offenders
against the statutes and regulations
for the profit Of private individuals.
Crimes were committed in the enforce
ment Of discipline" no less crimes
for that reason, and now some Of those
responsible for deaths i'll the prison
camps are to be tried.
1t is not assured that the perpetra-
tors of these denominations in Florida
convict camps will be punished. Wit
nesses summoned to give testimony, II
appears, are afraid to present. them
selves at court. A state Of terror still
prevails despite the housecleaning
that has been effected in the legisla-
ture. But whether these men are con.
vfcted or not the fact stands that
Florida has purged itself OF a most
abominable practice and deserves COM
mendation for adopting that course.

The Horticultural Show.

Washington could give more atten.

now on at the New National Museum,
under direction Of the American Horti.
cultural Society, were it not so busy
making preparations for receiving and
entertaining the Shrine and the other
thousands of persons who will come
with the Shrine. Even under the ex-
traordinary conditions which now pre-
vail in the city there is satisfactory
attendance at the show. There is a
remarkably large number of persons
in Washington who are as interested
in fine flowers, fruits and vegetables
and in the things of nature in general
as in pageants and spectacles of
marching men. Forty-two citizens as
sociations OF the District have entered
plants and flowers, and the display of
garden products includes roses, onions,
irises and strawberries and hundreds
of other things that grow about our
homes. 1t is said that this is the
largest exhibition of it's kind ever held
in Washington, which means that it
is a very large exhibition, for ii is
many years since Washington was q
small city and did anything in a small
way.

Borah's Move Next.

Senator Borah may presently find
himself in the position Of being COM
PEELED definitely to announce whether
he entertains ambitions for a nomina-
tion for the presidency, and II so,
whether as a republican and rival Of
President Harding for the nomina-
ton. An incident which occurred in
Ohio is indicative of the embarra S.
ment he may otherwise encounter. CO.
lumbus members Of the committee of
forty-eight, which is sponsoring a
movement to boom Senator Borah for
the presidency, declared they would
circulate petitions under the state law,
although Secretary Of State Brown
had notified them that he would not
issue blanks until Senator Borah had
given his consent in writing for the
use Of his name. The secretary of the
that Senator Borah must have given
his consent or we would not be going
ahead to obtain Signatures
The secretary Of state maintains a
"show-me'' attitude, insisting that
there is nothing on file to that effect
So if Senator Borah means business,
as his hackers count upon, he will not
be in the way of getting any delegates
from Ohio in 1924 until he declares
that Barkis is willin'.,
a similar situation will exist in
other states. Meanwhile, and pending
a formal declaration of either his in
tention to run for the nomination. or
not to do so. if his friends persist in

ination, and, as he is now classed as
q republican, a rival Of President
Harding.
In a speech at Manchester. y. H.,
last night Senator Borah said that
measures looking to solution of the ma
tons domestic problems are in prepa-
ration for introduction in Congress,
particularly as to fuel. freight rates
and profiteering. which he realized
would be denounced as radical. He
the critics to produce substi-
tute measures, for conditions are in

looking like participation in
European affairs. He is giving the
country a very clear idea OF what he
thinks about domestic and interna-
tional problems, in case he is being
talked of for the presidency, and he is
being discussed by enthusiastic friends
in several states in that capacity.

Sir Auckland Geddes.

Keen sympathy and hope that his
aff1iction of partial blindness is only
temporary are felt in Washington for
Sir Auckland Geddes. the British am
bassador, announcement Of whose af-
Fiction yesterday caused a. shock to
the people of the capital. In the course
Of his official sojourn in this city Sir
Auckland has made many warm
friends. In his official relations he has
so acted as to win the high esteem Of
government officials. He has proved
himself most efficient and capable
diplomatic representative, and in the
trying and difficult questions arising
has borne himself with the utmost
dignity and discretion and with a
spirit of appreciation for the American
viewpoint. This sudden seizure is at
tributed to the results Of war exposure
and also to the strain of assiduous
devotion to duty in the preparation Of
the war-debt adjustment which falls in
part to him. The happy BELIEF Is en-
tertained that the impairment of his
vision is of passing nature, and that
Sir Auckland will soon be restored to
full health and powers,

Florida's Housecleaning.

Florida is making it's prison reforms
effective. The legislature, after a Sc
we're struggle. responded to an aroused
public sentiment in and out Of the
state and passed bills abolishing the
use OF the lash on prisoners for cor
rection and discipline. Now it has
passed another bill which puts an, end
to the county convict lease system
after the list Of next January. Under
this measure no leasing will be per-
mitted after that date. and all existing
contracts will become void It is pro-
vfded that one county may turn its
prisoners over to another county for
work on the public roads, or they may
be turned over to the state road de-
partment for similar service. Convict
wardens are. placed under bonds Of
S2,500 each, and guards are bonded
for $1,000.
This is long step forward for the
state OF Florida, and it is hoped it will
serve as q stimulus to similar reforms
elsewhere in the south. The practice
Of leasing convicts for private work is
a vicious one, certain to lead to evils.
1t lends itself to questionable political
practices. 1t is'a form Of state slavery
Some months ago an atrocious series
of crimes was unearthed in Georgia in
