Mr.. Darnell made his last stand on
a strong plea to the Commissioners
that they guarantee the payments on
the sand pumped out of the ocean by
the contractor. He wanted these pay
ments made direct to the company on
orders to be given him by the con-
tractor. The city solicitor said the
city cannot legally do this and that
the Beach Company must look for
payment to the contractor and to the
contractor only. The city consistently
refused to recognize any third party
in this beach front contract and con-
troversy. AS Mr.. Darnell, represent
ing the company, manifested so much
uneasiness relative to any damage the
contractor might cause, and fearful
that his company might be held liable
for such damage by said contractor,
the Commissioners passed the follow
ing resolution, which looked like a
sop to the Beach Company to let its
members and it's attorney down easy:
"To Whom 1t May Concern:
This is to certify that the City of
wildwood will not hold anyone, other
than the contractor, as legally re-
sponsible for any damages that may
be done to public property by reason
of sand from the beach front under
the contract between the City of Wild
wood and Richard H. Coney, and thai
the contractor will likewise be held
as the only party responsible for any
--i.zs-- 4Iok ~ ou hn nnnnCGlPV nv T9a-
son of the carrying out of the SAID
contract"
The foregoing resolution was fol-
lowed up by another along the same
lines:
"Resolved, that the Mayor of the
City of wildwood issue a public letter
certifying to the intention Of the City
of wildwood in connection with the
Richard H. Coney contract, to hold
no one responsible other tina the
contractor, for possible damage to
public property or policing necessary
in connection with said contract"
To speak of acres of Diamonds
to Wildwood enthusiasts would not
arouse half the interest that the mere
mAnflOn OIL ACI60 VI Ooh0
awaken in their minds; for sand, you
must know, is one of South Jerseys
choice assets.
Contractor Coney and his attorney
met the president of the Beach Realty
Co. and it's attorney at Charlie "A.
Norton's home on West Rio Grande
avenue at s o'clock on Tuesday night
last, the result being that a CONTRACT
was signed between the contractor
and the company looking to the pur-
chase of the necessary quantity OF
sand needed at the rate of 2hc per
cubic yard.
The bond furnished by Contractor
Coney to the Beach Co. was also I'M
derwritten by the Fidelity M De-
post Co., of Baltimore. 1t was in the
sum of $4,000.
Mr.. Coney is rushing preparations
to go on with the work. The contract
must be completed by September ISL

Chairman Hull Shows Tariff As
Cause OF Sugar Profiteering.

In a statement issued by Cordell Hull.
Chairman of the Democratic National Com
mittee. on the report Of the Tariff CON-
mission TO President Harding. Chairman
Hull made it clear and emphasized the
point that the tariff is the underlying
cause of the present high price of sugar.
without which the orgy of speculation and
profiteering would not be possible. He
called attention to the fact that the Tariff
Commission did not dare deny that the
tariff at least increases the price Of sugar
in the amount of l.76 cents pound. and
that the tariff of 2.20 cents on other
foreign sugar is prohibitive.
What happened. therefore. says Chair
man Hull, was that American and Cuban
owners of sugar, seeing much OF the do
nestle beet crop marketed, and knowing
that Java and other distant sugar pro-
ducing countries could not and would not
undertake to pay freight and 2.2O cents
tariff and bring sugar to America to COM
pete with American and Cuban sugar.
proceeded during January ana up 10 thIs
date to boost sugar prices with the knowl-
edge that there would be no world COM
petition
The statement Of the Tariff Commission
that a reduction Of the tariff on sugar
would not necessarily reduce the price,
Chairman Hull calls not even good non
sense
In a later statement Chairman Hull
SUGGESTED that the sugar barons and other
beneficiaries of the profteering tariff should
be prohibited by law from making cam
paien contributions to political parties
Bv abolishine this debauching and cor
ruptine practice. he believes a repetition
Of this national sugar scandal could be
prevented in the future.

Child welfare Work or The Social
Service League.

Since all modern scientific investigations
tend to disprove Lombroso's theory that
criminals are born, not made, especial
interest attaches to preventive work among
children, such as is daily practiced by the
Social Service League Of Montgomery
county, whose members declare that 1T Is
cheaper 10 care for the child than to
prosecute the man."
Such an eminent authority as Sir Basil
Thompson, X. C. B.. the well-knoSn As
sistant Commissioner Of Metropolitan Po-
lice. London. England. sponsors the en-
phatic statement that environment and
early training. and not heredity. make the
criminal Out Of his vast experience, the
Commissioner stresses the tremendous i'm
portance Of saving the child. and 1t is in
Its work among the unfortunate. neglected
and delinquent children that the Social
Service League puts forth its great efforts.
Sir Basil Thompson says that when large
numbers Of convicts in English prisons
were tested by measurement, family his
tory and disposition. the result proved
conclusively that environment and early
training. and not heredity made the crimi-
nal" Il was shown that more than 30
per cent OF the professional criminals be-
Dan their criminal csreers before they were
twenty-one. and that it was 'commoner

"Unfortunate. neglected and delinquent
children are to be found in every commu.
nifty, and to care for them is duty from
which no good man or woman tries to
escape" says the Social Service League,
and through its Child Welfare and Juvenile
Court work the League emphatically prac-
tees what II breaches.
Mental and physical examinations Of
children needing such kindly and timely
assistance. care and nursing for the tuber-
cular child. the providing Of homes for the

children, the securing Of work for boys who

Republican, Gives Rec ons Why
Aurdiug Gees be Re- elected.

One Of the indications ,het President
Hsrdine's renoulination Is orecated by
Republican Ess spapers as well as by many
Republican politicians is furnished by the
New York Tribune. which published on
its editorial page a few days ago letter
from a reader who gave half dozen
reasons why some one else should be
chosen in 1924. This letter was more
than 900 words in length and occupied
a prominent position under two-column
heading. The writer Of it was Wilson D.
Youmans, of Yonkers. N. Y.
Mr. Youmans said that he was amazed"
at a recent statement that President Hard
ine would be renominated, and then
offered on his own account "a few good rea-
sons why it would be impossible to re elect
Warren G. Harding" He said the suffer-
ing and extortion Of thousands OF people
due to the shortage of coal In New York
and New England last winter were CHARGE
able to President Harding because he was
not equal to the situation" or was not big
enough" He also blamed President Hard
ing for alternating former service men from
the Republican party and referred TO MS
advocacy of American representation in
the International Court of Justice as "a
smoke screen" designed to divert atten-
ton from his failures in administering
domestic affairs.
The Tribune s willingness to give so much
prominence and currency to these criti-
cisms of President Harding coupled with
a suggestion that he be discarded In favor
Of Leonard Wood or Calvin Coolidge as the
Republican candidate in 1924 is regarded
as having significance.
