serves in public office should be paid
as literally as his work indicates it's
amount and quality. 1t seems to US
that a business management is the
one high solution for our borough
officers. 1t should save a lot of
money in the end, would cut out the
evils of politics, and effect many re-
forms now made impossible because
politics now directs what shall and
what shall not be done.
The simplicity of the commission
form of government is it's greatest
charm. 1t puts the government on
a business basis. 1t does not have a
long and intricate system of book
keeping. 1t buys it's supplies for
cash; it debts what comes in to the
proper account and credits what goes
out the same way. Any kind of gov
eminent is supposed to do this, but
it would befuddle the most accom-
plished accountant to go through a
set of books kept by the average
borough and find correct exhibit
of its affairs. Only approximate re-
suits can be found. AS for the accur-
acy of the daily balance, that is sim
ply not to be considered among the
possibilities. Yet this could all be
accomplished if we run our govern
ments as business is run. There are
no deferred" charges to be reckoned
with; no sudden Overdue" interest
to be put into tax bills; but all is
clear as bell, SO that the machinery
may be looked into and seen at
glance. Good bookkeeping can al
ways be had at price The average
borough accounts are kept in
groove because they are generally
found that way by the new man who
GUSTS the old, and are kept that way
for the good and sufficient reason
that lack of knowledge precludes
any kind of a change.
If the voters in the boroughs are
wise they will take up this commits
sion government plan and apply it
to their own affairs There is moth
ing better, nothing safer. Then, too,
if man who serves does not prove
his fitness, he may be asked to step
out and better man put in. Eff
cheney is the only safeguard in any
business, and it should apply to mu-
nicifal business as well as to private
business.

NO STATE POLICE.

The discussion in the New Jersey
newspapers regarding a State con-
stabulary similar to that now in
vogue throughout certain portions of
Pennsylvania, has brought out strong
opposition. The Newark Call" de-
clares it is an NECESSARY move, and
says the sheriffs of the different
counties are empowered with suf-
ficient authority to put down riots
if they only exercise it. Cases are
cited where this authority should have
been made effective, but none named
where it was used, except at Pater-
son. Edgewater is another instance
of where the sheriff of Bergen county
did very effective work in quelling a
riot and Furnishing the instigators
by law.
The objection to a state constabu-
latory, however, should not be raised
because the sheriff has power to call
out deputies in cases of emergency.
The demand for state aid in policing
certain portions of New Jersey is on
the basis of the demand for men reg
ularly on the job, stationed at in
tervals with telephone communica-
ton so that alarms may be sent out
in all directions when robberies and
other depredations are discovered.
In the eastern and northern section
of New Jersey the demand for ad-
ditional rural and village protection
is very great. The boroughs are all
too small to afford ample police pro-
lection because they have not suffi-
cient income to support it. But the
state gets eonugh taxation to fully
warrant all the protection that is
needed and should grant it ungrudg-
ingly. This police force need not be
large but it should be efficient, and
every man should be mounted in
some form-either on horse or motor
cycle. The system would act as a
deterrent to the proving thieves
chat infest Bergen and Hudson coun-
ties, at any rate.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS,

The freedom of the press has again
been upheld in a recent decision by
the United States Supreme Court.
Two reporters of the New York Tri-
bune refused to give the sources of
their information concerning custom
frauds, and were promptly dealt
with by the United States court
grand jury. Hailed before the Fed
eral court they were duly found
guilty and ordered punished, The
president even pardoned them, but
they appealed from the courts decis-
ion, and now the highest tribunal
in the land says that no newspaper
may give the source Of information
concerning public news matter. No
honest reporter will write false re-
ports, and no true newspaper will

VAR IN WINTER TIME.

There has never been war with
Waglng in Europe. So far as war
information is concerned, the battles
Of winter scarcely undersize those
of early or late autumn. This means
that modern methods are different,
and that thought has evolved a diff
erent system from anything with
which the world was acquainted. The
soldiers of both armies now facing
each other in France have literally
lived in the trenches, and part of the
time, at least, have been forced to
stand, lay down and sleep in water.
None of these things is impossible,
because the human system is capable
of sanding far more in the way of
hardship than we have heretofore
been willing to accept. The truth is
just what man can stand is as yet I'M
known. The fact that in a six day
race man may far outlast a horse
nary performance for the human being
against the brute, because in any
limited race or contest of endurance
the animal is almost sure to win. A
man can readily outrun a rabbit
though not in a short race In
limited contest rabbit would make
any man look like the tortoise 1t is
largely mans endurance that makes
him the sturdiest of all animal crea-
ton. 1t is no wonder, then, that the
present war should have finally devel-
oped the fact that armies may fight
each other in any kind of cold.
Washington, Napoleon, Grant, Lee,
all let their wars lag in winter. But
not SO your modern general Injured
to every kind of physical trial; with
years of preparation for anything
that might loom up on the horizon
of a nation, the European countries
have their soldiers to shoot as we'll
in snoWtime as in summertime. Ice
is no longer a deterrent, but a mere
cause for a somewhat slower speed
due to the heavier equipment deman-
ded. They still kill and MAIN just
the same, and still have the same
ferocity of attack. The greatest pity
of all is that soldiers are big enough
fools to fight each other at all

The victory for the Central Site

Committee, and they hereby acknowl-
edge, with gratitude, the work that
must have been done, quietly, unas-

ment
A certain phase of the election can
not be passed by without notice, One
cannot help a feeling of shame and
indignation at the open, bare-faced
attempts of repeaters, and those who
tried to vote illegally. Those respons-
ible for this state of things, those
who have lent the semblance of re-
speciality to proceedings now open
ly disclosed, and seen by all to be
unlawful, morally degrading and sub
versive of liberty and justice, cannot
escape contamination by such meth
DDS, and just as surely have forfeited
the respect of all law-abiding, right
thinking members of the community.
When it is known that upwards of
fifty persons, who were in line to
vote, were not residents, some not
even citizens, this community must
realize the seriousness of the condi-
lions attending all our elections, and
by unremitting vigilance, nullify such
attempts in the future.

COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

That the commission form of COVER
ment is coming more and more into
vogue is evident all over the country.
Every little while a new city is added
to the list, thus proving that the
people are awakening to the nee
essity Of the business way of run
ming municipal affairs. The new idea
has not swept the country, but it
has made a big start. "The Pals
adam" long ago took up this ques-
ton, and advocated it. 1t also said
that the time would arrive when the
United States Government would at
some future date enter into the same
plan of running its affairs. That
this side of the case is already re-
ceiving public attention was evident
the other day January POI when
Ex-President William Howard Taft
addressed the Indiana legislature. He
openly advocated and urged that pri-
vate business methods be introduced
into the government enterprises and
suggested that experts be employed
to insure greater governmental eff
cheney and economy. This was a
very wise conclusion on the part
of Mr.. Taft, whose ideas are always
pregnant with truth and wisdom.
There was never a greater oppor-
tunity for commission government
than in our New Jersey boroughs.
The borough form of government as
practised in New Jersey has been
cracked up as an ideal system of
managing public affairs. The plan
of having men volunteer for public
office and attempt to run govern
ment as a matter of local patriotism
is very fine on paper. 1t is altruistic
to the last degree. Yet nine men out
of ten who act as mayor of the New
Jersey boroughs are as strict types
of the modern politician as could be
named. They make martyrs of them
selves in order to serve the people,
get no thanks, are roundly abused,
and their honors consist of ingrati-
tude. Everybody knows better how
to run the borough than the mayor
serving without charge. 1t is a
thankless job, and it should be rele-
gated to the shelf among things that
have outlived their usefulness.

is worthy of his hire, every man who

4 GLORIOUS VICTOR Y.

The success of the High School
campaign in the borough of Cliff
side Park reveals once more the Ger
tain value of holding to one purpose
in life. The citizens committee
started out to prove necessity,
and began with the premisis of truth.
There was an element of the voters
that thought that conditions did not
warrant the outlay, so it took three
elections to bring the matter finally
home to the people so that they saw
the light only after it had been driven
into them. This is all right, now that
the fight was finally won. And GER
tainly no men ever labored with more
unselfishness than this committee of
citizens who set about the task
of turning an Indifferent school sys-
TEN into one of the modern kind with
a fine, well equipped High School as
Tic CeIlteI dIoullu WHICH tIlS Llelncii-
tary schools could revolve. The people
were hard to convince. Objections
were raised in many quarters, but all
proved invalid against the dominant
fact that the new school building was
a necessity if the system was to grow
into anything like the worth of the
borough. The names of this citizens
committee are unimportant at this
time, except that they deserve a
great deal of personal credit for
sticking to a principle. They never
once Wavered from their standards,
or their ideals. 1t was to be the
proper kind of High School or moth
ing. Now that they have seen the
value of this kind of labor, the Dor
ough has learned valuable lesson.
1t should be a lasting one. The new
school house will shine. not as a mon
ument to any one individual, but to
the sagacity of the borough itself.
This is all there is 10 it. The battle
was won after hard fight, and there
fore it is all the more a reason for
congratulation to everybody. IN an
other year Cliffside Park will have
a High School thar will draw pupils
largely from Palisadc and many other
communities in this section of North
ern New Jersey. Good for Ciffslde
Park!

A HOPEFUL YEAR.

1t would not be at at all surprising
if this did not prove a highly val
liable year for this section of New
Jersey. Had it not been for the
European war, there were signs in
the air of great activity. AS it was,
last year was far from being a poor
one for most of Bergen county.
Everywhere else there was a great
deal of building going on, besides
many fine roadways being laid down.
1t is true that Bergen has had
the reputation of paying very high
prices for its roads, but the effect
of their building is readily apparent
in the way of improved conditions,
1t will not be a great while before
politics will play the lesser part in
road construction in this section,
and then the growth will be far
better. AS for this portion of the
county, the Eastern end, there is
nothing that can keep it back. Its close
proximity to New York City will
take it a long at great rate, There
has been a painful depression in all
realty developments near New York
since 1907, but the signs all point
to a complete recovery. AS people
flock to New York, that city must
expand, and people are going to look
over into New Jersey for relief from
the crowded conditions, for which
there is no relief until they get away.
Last year Palisade put in fine sea-
son of progress, spending something
like 100000 in homes alone-the
only thing, in point of fact, that can
be built here owing to the restric-
tions. Grantwood is about to build
a fine new high school at cost of
more than 100000, and it is sure to
be enlarged before two years. 1t
is also sure to be the means of adding
greatly to the population, for fine
school system is one of the best
attractions for any community. Pal
isade is sure, also, to reap some of
the advantages from the Cliffside
school improvement. The entire out
look is most promising, not to say
inviting.
