SOME SINGING WORDS.

Miss Ethel Barrymore, one OF the
most beautiful and foremost actress
es OF the day, and whose position In
American society Is OF the best, has
fallen out with the American wo-
man OF wealth. Miss Barrymore's
words are very severe. and II is not
gallant for mere man to add anything
to a "woman's opinion OF woman.
Miss Barrymore says;
"Women OF wealth, generally
speaking. are merely selfish, piggish
and utterly content with comfortable
living quarters, little polo, bridge,
or rapid automobile or two
They are empty shells and perfectly
meaningless and useless in this coun-
try.
III a plague we're to wipe out the
entire society element in New York
that city would be none the worse
for It, nor would they be missed.
They accomplish nothing and give
nothing to the world"
Miss Barrymore fastened to add
that she did not refer to the great
middle class, the working, or the ac-
complishing class but only to the
so-called society girls.
III the lords and dukes and mar
quises would only choose their brides
from the interesting middle class
they would not be disappointed" ad-
ded Miss barrymore, "for these wo-
men are the finest types we have
made"
SO much for the ladies OF wealth. ="
And now Miss Barrymore gives her
opinion OF another element OF the
dountry's social makeup. This time
she proceeds TO dress up or rather
dress down the son OF the American
millionaire. "Never will / marry
the son OF a millionaire" says the
actress, having reference to the in
dolent species In the East. A read
ing OF the young woman's words will
prove interesting and there is small
ground upon which to stand to dis
pute her. She says:
Never, never, will ! marry the
son of a millionaire! The million
aire would be bad enough, but the
son OF one never!
"Why, the average young son OF
q millionaire hasn't enough brains to
interest a playful kitten. much less
q woman who has lived any life or
developed her mind or seen the
world. He hasn't any purpose in his
existence. He never enters the world
OF affairs, the political arena, that Of
science OF art, or even cure OF any
kind, as English gentlemen consider
II their duty to do.
"All the rich American cares for
Is to lie around in luxurious club,
talk polo and golf, and bask in the
glory OF his fathers dollars, with in
finite leisure at his disposal"
This Is in line with what a dis
tinguished American once said, when
he remarked that he "pitied the man
who didn't work. no matter at which
end OF the social scale he considered
himself to be-"
Some hearty amens can be given to
Miss BarrymoreB estimate OF the
young American snob. Regarding
her words of the female contingent
we leave them to the opinion OF the
lady readers of the Daily Panhandle.

The own Hall.

1t has been asserted many times in
these columns that the greatest need in
Palisade is town hall. The company
promoting PaliSade has agreed to do
nate lot for this purpose, besides Civ
ing $500 in cash to put up suit
able building, provided like sum is
raised here within two years. While
this time limit may be short, there is
no doubt in the world but that the com
pany would willingly extend it to any
reasonable time. 1t has offered the lot
in good faith, Notwithstanding there
are some opinions to the contrary. But
the sanest, safest and surest way to
test the good faith of the offer will be
20 put up good money by the side of
the cOmpany'S cash and then see who
backs down from the bargain. Who
dares say that the offer is not made in
good faith is taking too much upon his
shoulders. The PaliSadian does not
1iScredit the offer because it happens
10 know the sincere motive behind it,
md it believes it. Be this as it may,
isn't it better to be careful? We don't
want a private club here, and the com
pany will do nothing in that line. But
it will give a town hall lot and $500
cash.

The Charm of Watching Growth.

Mention has several times been
made in The Palisadian that one Of the
interesting things about the growth of
/ newly promoted village settlement is
the watching of its development There
was never a greater truism than that
error is ever the sequence Of haste
md to see the finished product Of any
thing in the way of of a dwelling place
for man is to have it too soon grow
Did and pail upon the senses. Nothing
could be more conducive to the happi-
ness of home lover than to watch it
build upon itself. 1t is vital to human
interest to court and expect change and
variety. The building of finished city
would not find it human like the one
that has expanded gradually. Few
houses ever remain without added
changes now and then. We should all
ike to work and be part of the his
tory Of our town. If Palisade could
not grow it would soon deteriorate in
stead of getting better. We want to
go at the making of our homes with
contagious enthusiasm, keeping our
working power at the maximum. There
must always be something new in
sight. Remember that excellence is
never denied to we'll directed Labor.
Palisade is surrounded by many benef-
lficent gifts of nature. If the climate
did not change these we should find
them of Supine value.

No Saloons in Palisade.

1t is just as well that a recent appli-
cation for a saloon license in Palisade
was made 1t removes for all time the
idea which seemed to prevail that
pull could do anything. While this
is true in some cases. it has no signif-
canoe here The entire property in
Palisade is decided against the saloon.
The restrictions cover everything need
full to bar liquor, and it will be unwise
to make further efforts in the direction
of license getting. Judge Demarest,
at Hackensack, deserves nigh praise for
his radical disposal of the license he
was asked to issue. 1t helps Palisade
to know that a saloon is impossible.

Village Association.

The Village Taxpayers Association
held its usual monthly meeting on
Thursday evening, September II in
House No. /, the president presiding
reports of committees were the prin-
cipal business heard. The committee
on removal of tents, billboardS, etc,
said they had proven their case to the
satisfaction of those who had violated
the terms of their deeds and that the
things would be taken down at an early
date. The committee on town hall re-
ported and said the deed to the lot was
in hand but that it was not satisfac-
tory. and, upon motion, it was decided
to return the deed and Immediately
take action against the company in de-
mand of their rights. There was no
opposition to Mr.. Foeppel's motion to
this effect.

Palisad eIets.

When things are not coming yoLI'
way turn up the corners of your mouth
and watch your thoughts.
The best way to stave off ennui is to
keep busy long and often.
The only way to build up a reputa-
ton is to put the pressure on tempta-
ton.
Love everything in nature, even your
enemies. You'll feel your pains less.
All the PHILOSOPHERS of earth Will
not cure the fool, but club will
straighten the liar.
The man who knows thing is so
when it isn't, and he knows it has a
mind that emits the smell of garlic.
Flowers and grasses and leaves and
ferns are dearer companions than
people who know not truth. Nature
does not lie.

PaIisade Boys Go Shooting.

were Mr.. Simpson. of New York Ed

They laboriCusly poled in and out

they started for home Motley
were not exactly empty handed, but
to tell precisely how many they shot
might prove embarrassing, so that
technicality is omitted.

ments of novels of the day there is not
one worthier than The Big Fellow

good deal, for the majority of novels

veying real human interest. but to be
sensational and to make the readers

Final Game of Baseball.

A post-season game of baseball was
played by the Palsade Athletic Club
team against the LeOnia nine on Labor
Day. 1t was a hotly contested game
throughout, and resulted in Palisade
victory. the score being 16 to 10. The
F. A. c. boys were wholly out of prac,
tice but managed to put up a very
good game at that. The score would
have been more in favor of Palsade
except for the lame shoulder of Emory
Douglas, he giving way to Steel in the
Eighth inning.

JOHN WALLACE TALKED
 ON THE GAME LAW

Hon. John H. Wallace, IT., has re- turned from Atlanta. where. Wednesday morning. he delivered an address to the Georgia Legislature on the protection of game and fish. As Mir. Wallace is the Alabama Commissioner of Game and Fish. his speech was in the way of an elucidation of the Alabama law on this subject, of which he is the father and author.
 The reports from Atlanta indicate that Commissioner Wallace was well received. He was given e handsome entertainment at the Piedmont Hotel by members of the Georgia Legislature and other leading citizens of that State.
 At the conclusion of his address. MT. Wallace was greeted with applause. and the Legislature. in joint session. adopatd unanimously a set of resolu- tions thanking the Alabama visitor for his courtesy. The address was charac- terized as "masterlys lucid and elo- quent"
 The Georgia Legislature has pending a bill for the protection of game and fish drawn along the plan of the Ala bama statute. There Is an excellent chance of it's being finally passed, ac- cording to reports from that State. At present, Georgia trails the list of States not having effective checks on the de- struction of game.
