1t takes time to put on the finishing
touches to any development, but the
most casual observer must note that
Palisade is assuming real proportions.
The people who have made the vii
lage their home feel an abiding pride
as well as faith in Palisade. There
are evidences of this on every side.

are prouder than boy with bis first
pair OF red-topped boots at what it is
to-day
But it so happens that with all of
the solid growth shown; with all of the
charm and beauty of location, there
sounded from time to time that have
indicated feeling of unrest. Per-
haps this was a wise and proper thing
to have happen. We are inclined to
think it was, and this, nothwithstand-
made some of the discordant notes.
The regulation of the child; the
education of the boy; the elevation of
the youth, all require time Per-
lection cannot be attained in a day,
a month, year. We are but the
ready victims of an all too capricious
fate, and shall have to await the sift-
ing processes of time before we reach
those sublime heights of Ideally to
which we all aspire. Patience alone
will conquer present evils if there be
any. If we but put on the armor of
courage, we shall realize some of our
aims.
What "The Palisadian" is against
is the eternal wrangle over local
affairs. For its own part it believes
always in the militant attitude, but
only when truth is assaulted and our
rights invaded. We also believe in
having the right sort of equipment
with which to wage war upon any
enemy In most of our troubles we
have needed two essentials, caution
and leadership No nation going to
war could hardly hope to win victory
if some self-appointed general should
take the field and say: 81 am the ma
tim Follow meH' This simple fact
is the paramount issue in any we'll

to say disgraceful position. The eff
feet upon Samuel Gompers reveals
this arrogant man in an attitude
where he can go out and pour cold
water upon his own head and if he
be wise, he will fall upon his knees
and plead:
ooh, Lord! be merciful to me,
fool!"
And that is about all the consola-
ton he will get, for no other fountain
source will ever show him proper
pity.
Gompers cuts a sorry figure in his
tory. With the public inclined to lend
a willing, patient ear to the plea of
labor, Gompers has had fight after
fight, losing at the same time, and
urging his cohorts to grasp on and
on and then grasp more.
Gompers' worst side in this whole,
miserable business was shown in his
denunciation of General Otis and De
tective Burns, whom he charged with
cooking up the entire conspiracy
against labor, then Kidnapping the
McNamaras to make examples of
them. He fairly fayed Burns for
trying the cases in the magazines,
then goes to work and further charges
General Otis with criminal neglect in
not stopping gas leaks in the Times
building.
One of the most sensible rules of
humanity is for no one to take snap
judgment on any thing. Forming
opinions, and reasoning out a case
from mere theory is never a safe
plan on which to win. Theoretical
ideals look well on paper, but they
won't pan out all the time.
Samuel Gompers is not a safe
leader, because, representing a sound
cause, he has not yet learned the les
son of humility. Organized labor is
all right. 1t has a legitimate and
proper mission. 1t should be encour-
aged But it will only command SYM
pathetic interest and respect when it
defines its position with the force de
manded by common sense and reason.
Gompers' denial of knowledge of the
guilt of the McNamaras must stand
undoubted until it is proven against
him. His all around defiance does not
augur we'll for his individual future,
for he has plainly helped to make a
mess of things by his spirit of def
ance, which is foolish.

GOMPERS.

The confession of the McNamaras
at Los Angeles, the self-convicted
brothers charged with dynamiting the
Office of the Times of that CITY,
ends a case of worldwide interest.
The net results of their confessions

head of the American Federation of
Labor in a most embarrassing, not

more, any man who has ambition to
lead can add character to his work by
to counsel and acting along
lines that do not provoke ridicule
Moreover, we will go even further
and state: CD That motive in any
line of endeavor is what lends char
acter to it; (2) that where motive is
based on selfish ends it generally fails
of its mission.
Sometimes we may injure some one
I'VE are after; sometimes we may cir
culate a falsehood to attain an end;
sometimes we may start rumors and
gloat over their spreading. And
when we do these things and find
ourselves hauled up with a jolt, it is
always exactly what might have been
expected.
Now, when a man finds himself in
error; when he realizes that he has
been pursuing a phantom hope; when
The comes upon failure as the result of
"a foolish attitude, if he were wise he
would at once change his course
take another tack. The man who
hugs to his bosom the fallacy that
he can fool all the people all the time
will awaken at last. In the final count
he must realize that human nature
|purges itself of all unclean things
land false motives. Even if a man
we're honest in thinking he is right,
and someone whispers that he is
wrong, he should stop his course
then and there And all of this may
as well apply to the editor as to the
Individual who has almost worn him

No, Neighbor, we do not hate. We
carry the poets motto deep down in
our humble heart:
Life is so short,
And hatred is not sweet;

A QUESTION.

While the vital spark of leadership
comes to the quick thinker, it some
times comes to him who moves slowly
