other forces put together Columbus
was content to wait on his discov-
ery of America amid the jeers and
doubts of his contemporaries; Edison
was supreme in his contentment
watching long series of failures in
discovering the subdivision of the
electric light.
1t is best to be satisfied with every
thing except ones self. We can all
make ourselves better, but no process
of making men and women better can
be named than by encouraging feel
ing of contentment. People in good
circumstances are often discontented,
yet they should look around them at
their very doors to see people in
worse condition who would be con-
tented to change places. Let your
lives so blend into your daily doings
that you may value this sentiment:
"With whose sweetness of content
Expectant hope was ever blent. "

An EngIelUOOd KnaUe.

That the fools are not all dead yet,
nor all the knaves, is evidenced by
the elopement of A. Cornelius, jr.,
and his pretty young girl stem
ographer, Loretta Adelgais. The fool
part of the story is in the belief by
Cornelius that he had found his af-
fnity; the knave part is in the das-
tardly manner he went about the
game of destroying a young girls
life His brazen effrontery in taking
his own wife to visit the girls home,
and there in an appeal to the latter's
mother, urging that the girl be in
fluenced to come back to her task at
the bank over which Cornelius pre-
sided, was perhaps without parellel.
Just why men will allow passion to
so sway them as to sacrifice all that
is holy and good in them, is a mystery
no man may easily solve. Except on
the basis that man is at heart a
sinner, it cannot be explained. Cor
nelius had grown, married daughter,
wife and two sons. He had fine home
and position in society. The devil in
him got the uppermost, however, and
all that should be dear to man in
life is sacrificed on the altar of an
illicit love. Granting that the woman
in the case is not without sin, the
evidence points to the fact that she
owes her downfall to the persistent
Vaccinations of devil in human garb
whose subtitle batteries she could not
resist. There is no moral in the case
that has not been emphasized an hun
dred times. But one thing may be
taken home by all young girls: That
if they are true, and pure, and sweet,
and lovely they do not have man to
thank for it.

The Petty Man.

The petty man is the man of small
ways, small ideals, small thought, mar
row vision. He may be found in any
community, and may be sized up after
a few months acquaintance. The
petty man, delights in doing the things
he thinks will pique, punish or pinch
a neighbor or friend. The petty man
does the little spiteful things that
nag He seeks to prod under cover,
never fights in the open, and has a
soul that would make mustard seed
look like a watermelon by compari-
son. The petty man conceives pre-
judice and imagines wrong where none
exists. His spite would make him
rob his grandmother of her spectacles.
Caught at his meanness the petty
man comes back with the smile of
hypocracy. He is as much to be
trusted as pig in swill tub.

The Fall of WnrsalU.

That the Germans should finally
have captured Warsaw from the Rus
slams causes no surprise among those
who have watched the trend of the
European war as so far conducted.
Perhaps no military campaign in all
history was ever waged with such
numbers involved The forces of the
Russians were no doubt equal to the
Germans. But they lacked both the
equipment and the efficiency of the
latter, hence they lost. 1t was not
so much a question of impotency on
the part of the Russians as fighting
strength on the side of the Germans.
The great pounding impact of Ger
man drive has proven Of ferocious
force against Russia, as well as
against the Allies on the west. Rus
sia has not shown any power of at
tack worth speaking of and no re-
sistance whatever. In France the
story is different. The topography
of the Paris Basin is at present Ger
many's greatest impediment, added
to the very skilled generalship of
Joffre. 1t now remains to be seen
whether continued drives with colossal
numbers will overcome the western
front for Germany. If she cannot
now arrive at Paris, she will have to
content herself with draw. If that
comes about, England will still have
her fleet and be mistress of the sea
as before. There are scores of "ifs"
to be considered yet Germany has
swept many of these aside that were
formerly in the way. 1t looks as
though the war might last yet long,
long time. God knows everybody
wants it stopped now Certainly the
poor devils in the trenches do. Though
their hearts must be of stone by now,
they would melt at the sign of peace.

Freeholder George Lahm has some
thing to say in another colum about
the proposed communication ferry ticket
at $1.75 per month, and which is not
transferable, and on which the con-
tract reads that all rides are for
feited that are not used. He gives
some very plain reasons why the
plan is not a good one, the principal
one being that it is an unjust ar
rangement and does not allow any
leeway whatever for the purchaser
Mr.. Lahm reiterates the stand the
Freeholders have taken on the three
cent fare for all, and says that is the
only arrangement that is or could be
satisfactory. On one thing, however,
he declines to speak at this time: He
says that better proposition on a
communication ticket has been sub
mitted to the Freeholders, and which
will be told to the public in short
while. Mr.. Lahm, among other things
says he has asked the views of a
great many commuters and none OF
them favor the $1.75 plan. 1t may
be that after awhile there will be
found some one who will favor the
compromise arrangement. In that
event, it will be easy enough to get
it through.

Refreshing Times In PdIisdde.

The present summer has found not
as many homefolk away as has been
the usual custom at this season of
the year, and the result has been
agreeable in many ways. An air OF
sociability has provided the village,
with everybody being neighborly,
which is half of life's happiness.
There are no places on the map in
this part of the moral vineyard that
surpass the Hilltop Section, and the
older the development gets, the more
it is appreciated. Some day there
are going to be many more people
up here on the Palisades than at pres
ent, so those now here will do we'll
to make the most of the ideal condi-
tions at present prevailing, when
things are not too crowded, and when
the beauties of nature as they come
in the wild woods and rocks that have
not yet been disturbed from their
long rest as God placed them, are still
free to all who care to roam in their
inviting midst With or without a
book, a stroll alone in these woods,
or in company with congenial friend,
or with ones own thoughts, is form
of happiness unsurpassed. For some
reason the songs of birds this season
have been more numerous than at any
time within any ones memory in
Palisade. And more strange and
beautiful birds have been around. 1t
may be that there are more insects
to attract them, but something has
brought them, and with them a great
source of joy to those who love the
birds for what they are.

COntentMent.

No one feeling within the gift of
the Creator can compare with con-
tentment. No matter how the
weather runs; no matter how fate
seems to toy with us; no matter
what good or what evil befalls US,
if we are content to have it so with
out a murmur against the cause, we
have added just so much happiness to
our lives.
Many people never seem to know
contentment. Their hearts crave one
thing today, tomorrow they are un-
happy because they have it. To be
contented demands no sacrifice. If
we crave peace of mind always,
we can have smiling heart in
the face of any difficulty. Do
not become restless because success
does not come today to crown
your efforts; be content to bide a
wee. Rome was not built in a day.
Have fixed purpose in all you under
take. Smile at one failure and be
content to try again. Never lose hope
or heart. There isn't anything in the
wide, wide world so conducive to joy
as the privilege of waiting on the
development of human plans that are
honestly placed and worked out. All
the greatest successes the world ever
saw were built up on series of
failures. If a man were content to
fail and stop trying, there would be
no climbing high on the ladder of
human achievement. 1t is content
ment alone that has made the world
today more advanced along the lines
of scientific development than all the

Wur Antitheses.

The conclusion is about reached by
this newspaper that all discussion of
the European war is hopeless task.
The more one undertakes to solve its
riddles the more it befuddles. When
we make up our minds to be neutral,
as all fair minded Americans try to
be, along comes fellow with book
and says, "Read this" 1t generally
proves to be perfectly impartial
review of the war and its causes, and
is either very pro-German or very
pro-Ally. So, whichever book one
happens to be reading, that is the
answer There is only one side to the
war, and all sides believe the right
side is theirs.
There are certain concrete facts,
however, that stand out, regardless
of books and unbiased opinions.
Among these may be stated few
in order to prove that the war is
already settled on paper.
Germany's complete and unpar
alleled war preparation makes it i'm
possible for her to lose. England's
absolute mastery of the seas makes
it out of the question for Germany
to win
There we have two of the concretes.
The newspapers tell us Germany is
winning somewhere all the time, and
that the Allies are forcing the Ger
mans back on the western line.
Russia is forced out of Austria to the
gates of Warsaw, then suddenly turns
and the report comes that Germany
has sacrificed 100000 men in licking
the Russians.
That something fearful is going on
over there is certain. But with CEN
sored news filtering through the
cables, who knows the real truth?
We know that men are dying, widows
are wailing and children are crying
for their lost loved ones. We know
that graves are digging, hearts are
bleeding and soldiers swearing for
this thing of war. 1t does not matter
to US away 5000 miles from the con-
flict who is winning or who is losing.
We only know the tales we hear are
heart rending

Uncle Sans Soft SPOT.

Those of us who perambulate
through the small parks of New York
are wont to see large posters in color,
red, white and blue, put out by Uncle
Sam, appealing for recruits to the
army. In the background is generally
a picture, also in colors, of soldiers
on horseback grouped in an ideal
spot as though they were out to enjoy
themselves. Appended below the big
poster is some governmental hot air
which people who crowd around read
with avidity:
Men Wanted
Between 18 and 35 Years of Age For
the United States Army
Special inducements offered to
Pharmacists, Musicians, Bandsmen,
Electricians, Clerks, Bakers, Cooks,
BARRIERS, Transfers, Carpenters,
Blacksmith, HOrseshOers and other
mechanics.
A Chance to See the WOrld-A
soldier has the opportunity, free of
cost, to see Hawaii, the Philippine
Islands, Alaska and other places.
Steady employment for four years
and upward. Retirement after 80
years with liberal retired pay for life.
The notice particularizes as to
what the soldier is to get "free of
charge" This appeal is really not
new, and is about what has been put
out by the War Department for sew
eral years past. The casual reader
would reap from the notice as printed
that the government is offering soft
jobs to the idle or down-and- d-outers.
1t is not an appeal to the patriotism
of recruits, just an announcement of
the benefits to accrue" 1t does not
seem the right sort of appeal, some
how, because it attempts to idealize
tough job, and gloss over the real
career and purpose of an American
soldier. 1t is not an incentive to any
man of true spirit to tell him he may
dance the tango under the palms of
Hawaii, or tip the light fantastic toe
to the soulful fandango of the Phil

impossible service The first thing
the prospective new resident asks is,
"What is the ferry fare?" When told
it is five cents he throws up his hands.
We confidently believe that if the
ferry fare were reduced to three
cents it would induce thousands to
come to Jersey, where now a score
only come. The two cents difference
is mighty factor. 1t seems small,
but it is really big.
If the Freeholder Board should vote
for the $1.75 communication ticket it
would stullify itself. 1t has stood out

The Compromise Ferry Dicker.

There is no disposition to quarrel
with "The SentinePs" figures on the
prospective Saving" to the public
on the compromise dicker for COM
mutation monthly ticket at $1.75.
But the figures are not those of "The
Sentinel" They are from the
Mayors Committee, and are in them
selves a mass of estimates" pure and
simple. Their fallacy lies in the fact
that they are estimates and nothing
else. Granting that a good percent
age of the present commuters would
buy the $1.75 ticket, the injustice of
the proposition is evident on the face
of it because it is species of class
privilege granted to few and not
to everybody. True, all railroads al
low lower fare on daily commuta-
ton tickets, but they also issue
monthly family tickets. The principle
involved is not by any means the
same, however. Here we have a more
simplified proposition. We have a
ferry line persistently charging five
cents in the face of all other promi-
nent river ferries in New York charg-
ing three cents, except the very long
ones. The company refuses to grant
three cent fare in the face of every
advantage lin the future) it would
have by granting it. Nobody is ask

By BAILEY WILLARD

Chut -chut-brrrum- brrrum!

HOOray, boys!

Only man, sir near or far,
That knows how to run a car.

Mines no fivver,
But the real thing.

Buz-buz-, brrrum-brrrum!

What's that? Did l see that sign,
against the law
To cut out mufflers?" Yes, l saw,
But l Opine
1t don't scare me.
What do care if folks have nerves?
I'll fly the curves
A-spOuting smoke.
The laws joke.
I'll crack it,
And make all the gosh-dinged racket

I'm the main squeeze;

By heck!

See me come!
And tonight when they're asleep,
I'll rouse 'em up from slumber deep
When forth and fifth fly.

I'll make em curse.
I'll let 'em know it amt no hearse

All night!

Say! Don't tell me
Cut-Outs are no good 'cept when you climb
Steep hills. Why, can't you see
By this time
What they're for? Three-fOurths the fun
OF making her run
Is the chut-chut -chutter
Of my strident stutter
That makes folks turn
And see I'm there.
What if they swear?
When gas l burn
I'm going to get my moneys worth,
And they can all get off the earth
If they don't like the way
