FORT LEES SCHOOLS.

No borough in the county OF Ber-
gen has given greater care and pro-
lection to its public schools than Fort
Lee. The Forthcoming issue of bonds
for school purposes amounting to
$32, 900 is an indication that the
people Of Fort Lee are wideawake
and mean to be in line with the most
progressive communities on the ques-
ton of school facilities This is as it
should be. When the new additions
are all finished there will be ample
provision for all children for several
years to come. As provision has
been made for a public school in
Palisade next year, the people on the
south side of the borough are deeply
interested in all of the borough
schools, and want to see the system
perfected to the highest standards.
The. beginning of the home school
will start this fall when the primary
department opens up in temporary
headquarters. Fort Lee is on the
right track when she spends all the
money possible for good schools.
Her future is assured when she does
this.

LAWSON AS A PROPHET.

With all of the vagaries of Thomas

he has proven no mean prophet about
John D. Rockefeller and his vast for
tune. In one of his advertisements
published just following the finish of
his 'Frenzied Finance" series in "Ev-
erybody's," he made a1lusion to the
gift of $Io,ooo,ooo to the Educational
Board which had just then been given
by Rockefeller. Lawson said that the
Standard Oil king would be con-
science stricken and would be offering
donations in ten million dollar blocks
right along He couldn't get away
from it, Lawson said. and in the light
of subsequent events his wisdom has
proven itself. Mr.. Rockefeller has
now come within earshot of the char
titles of Andrew Carnegie, which he

A TOWN HALL.

That the necessity exists in Palisade
for place in which to hold public
meetings was never more apparent
than now Outside of private resi-
dences there isn't any place for a
gathering of any kind. This is not as
it should be. The Hudson River
Realty Company some months ago Of
fered to donate lot and $4,000 for
this purpose, if Palisade would raise
a like amount 1t is not necessary to
detail here the circumstances which
led UP to that unfortunate. failure.
The demand, however, is for action
NOW, and it should not be delayed.
An appeal has been made to those in
authority and it is expected that some
arrangement will be perfected where
by we may get the building at an
early date. Let us hope so, and let
all work with a will to bring about
this happy solution to our greatest
crying need, next to a church and
school.

THE CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR.

The job of being mayor is ever a
thankless one. Under our New Jer-
sey borough form of government
there are no salary or emoluments OF
any kind attached to the Office. His IS
a work of pure, unmitigated patriot
ism. He makes a tremendous per-
sonal sacrifice who would become
mayor of borough. 1t is, therefore,
a simple duty that every citizen owes
to be considerable of and to uphold
the mayor in all of his acts, and espe-
cially so when he is known to be an
upright man.
In the selection of Fort Lees next
mayor report is current that there will
be several candidates for the Office.
But it will do them no good 1t is
going to be mighty hard to prevent
John C. Abbott from making clean
sweep. He will doubtless stand again,

SEEING THE BRIGHT SIDE.

1t paws to be cheerful Brooding
gives no profit. Look on the bright
side. The past three years has been
cherries period of financial depres-
sion. 1t had some generic cause, or
it wouldn't have come about. 1t
might have been over-pro duction; it
could have been brought on by
conditions in Asia, or Africa, or Eu-
rope. Something has held it on.
Financiers give no solution. Proba-
bly, they don't know. Anyhow, the
bottom dropped out and is now in
again. They may soon send it into
the we'll of prosperity to come up
filled with the sparkling waters of
business activity. Let us hope so.
But in the meantime, we are awful
ly thirsty. We need something to
stir things up. 1t can't go on this
way forever. Capital has hidden its
head too long already. 1t has had its
sleep. 1t must now come out in the
open and ramify through the chan
nels of investment The dull stupor
of summer is on, but Old Mister
Money will soon wake up. And when
he does, look out. He is going to do
things. Palisade and all this broad
land of ours is going to get in line
with General Prosperity, who will
lead his forces to conquer General
Adversely, who has been Smelling the
woods so long. The long range guns
are in place and soon we'll have the
shells from Hustleland breaking over
head and making havoc among the
enemy.
Now you just look out for General
Prosperity. He'll soon have the
other fellow bound hand and foot.

BEING CONSISTENT.

1t is no easy task for any man to
be consistent-that is, to be perfectly
so. The world recognizes man as
consistent who performs his duties to
his fellows in manly fashion; who
does not lie and cheat, who has no
doubts cast upon his motives, and
whose public and private dealings ad-
NIT of no doubt. Thus is one meas
ure of the consistent man. Some men
think they are consistent because,
having taken a stand they cannot
be driven from it. They are not
open to conviction, and are conse-
quently stubborn. When man thinks
he is consistent in being mulish he
has mistaken his calling in life. The
mule is consistent because he doesn't
know any better. This is his nature.
He cannot help it. But for man,
being endowed with reason, and oft
entimes with mental gifts, to reason
without reason, is false conception
of duty. To be false in literal sense
in one thing is to be false in all
Being true is being consistent, and
that comes nearly covering the entire
meaning of the word. Harboring en-
nifty, jealousy, i'll feeling and gossip
are all inconsistent traits. To love is
wholly consistent. 1t is the basis of
all truth The. so-called consistent
man lessons his hope of happiness
when he fools himself into believing
that he is consistent when he hates
for the sake of hating. Let him COM
mune with himself. Let him look
himself over Let him see himself as
others see him. He will soon change.
SO, being consistent is being true; it
