The Upper Hand

Since the beginning of time men
in their relations with each other
have played for the upper hand. The
serpent in the Garden of Eden played
for the upper hand and through
Mother Eve held out the golden
apple on the Tree of knowledge, as
an inducement, an attraction, which
at fatal moment gave him his su-
preme conquest. The serpent, typi-
cal and representative of the Devil,
has from that apple fruit delivery
to today, held mastery over mankind
in general 1t has never relinquished
it's hold.
So, following on down through the
corridors of time we find nations,
commonwealths, cities and communi-
ties, and men in them, trying to at
tain that supremacy which caused
the fall of Adam. When one consid-
ers the source and the composition
of the DEVILS Kingdom; when one
realizes that the prime motive in his
original purpose, there was added to
the good Of humanity when he got
the upper hand of the human race.
And so throughout all Christian
dom, the matter of holding the upper
hand generally has had no noble,
high-minded purpose to uphold it,
and lead it on except selfishness.
Selfshness never yet won the enco-
miums of men. AS selfish child
is not to be admired, selfish man
may be and generally is Stunned.
Those who play the upper hand
game, therefore, in any community
may be safely set down as the
enemies of progress and those higher
ideals that should actuate men. We
may sift and analyze the selfish
character and it never develops adj
variability. 1t never gets anywhere,
or, it deceives itself if it thinks it
does. The moral undoing of any
upper hand philosophy is automatic.
1t finally forces it's own disintegra-
ton. And as a force it invariably
nullifes ITSELF

The Jupnnese Emperor.

Now that Japan has at last made
quasi into real Emperor, that
little nation may felicitate itself
upon the fact that her real import
ance is at last registered upon the
Book of Fate that rules the destinies
of nations. Heaven grant that the
mirror, sword and crystal ball that
are now entrusted to Yoshihito's
keeping may find no visions or re-
Elections to create discord in his mind.
Japan is the worlds wonder in the
evolution of peoples, and her ad-
vances toward the higher grades of
civilization, just beginning, may
prove or disprove the illusion that
culture and enlightenment go hand
in glove with peace and happiness.

The speech delivered by President
Wilson at the Fiftieth Anniversary
of the Manhattan Club on last week,
Thursday night, was in keeping with
all of his more recent public utter
ances. 1t was strongly and deeply
rooted in it's American sentiment, but
perhaps not so vehement as his adj
dress of last spring before the Asso-
ciated Press. But -Wiittlhlaasl thetS ntiFe
utterance was Wilsonian in all that
term means. Wherever and when
ever President Wilson has addressed
the American people he has brought
message; he has had something to
say.
This latest message is one on the
subject of preparedness. and he
drove home the important fact that
even Mr.. Roosevelt cannot cavil at,
that America is going to safe guard
itself against all foreign foes. He
advocates going about it right, first,
with an adequate naval defense;
second, with enough citizen soldiery
to make a worthy army. In this di-
rection he thinks the short term en-
listment of 100000 men ample as a
nucleus, because in case of war
every man of these would be equip
ped for quickly training many mil
lions more.
On the subject of our hyphenated
citizens he was again outspoken. lie
thinks the men of alien sympathies
are misguided but capable of doing
much mischief, and so great has be-
come the menace that it is time to
sound warning. On this point he
said
These men who speak alien sympa-
thies are not their spokesman, but are
the spokesman of small groups whom
it is high time that the nation should
call to reckoning. The chief thing
necessary in America in order that
she should let all the world know that
she is prepared to maintain her own
great position is that the real voice
of the nation should sound forth I'M
mistakably and in majestic volume,
in the deep unison of a common, I'M
hesitating national feeling. l do not
doubt that upon the first occasion,
upon the first opportunity, upon the
first definite challenge, that voice
will speak forth in tones which no
man can doubt and with commands
which no man dare gainsay or resist.

Our Taxes.

The tax bills for next year have
now been issued by the Borough of
Fort Lee. 1t is significant, very
significant indeed, that their on
slaught upon the community was de-
layed until after election. Had these
bills been received before election
they would have cost somebody some
votes.
Another significant thing in this
connection is the statement made
during the campaign that taxes were
going higher still. This looks like
an admission made by the powers
that be to forestall a certain howl
they knew would surely follow. A
20 per cent. raise last year, and a
10 per cent. raise this year looks bad
and tastes bad to those who have to
pay the bills. There is little hope in
sight, that is certain. High taxes do
not invite population, and certainly
Bergen county is ridden to death on
the tax question. Houses in Palisade,
for instance, are taxed almost $50
per cent. more today than ten years
ago. That is - lot!

PALISADIAN

earnest endeavor to serve them to
the fullest extent of it's ability.
"The Palisadian" acknowledges
freely and gladly the error contained
in it's issue of two weeks ago to the
effect that Cliffside Parks $250,000
sewer system was not yet in work
ing order. AS is we'll known, the
northern half of the system has been
in operation for many years, and the
newer portion since August. 1t is
glad to note in news item in an
other column that at the government
meeting referred to in the foregoing
motion was passed asking that a
detailed report of the new sewer
systems construction and cost be
prepared and published under the
auspices of the councils roads and
sewers committee and the borough
engineers.

BRYAN and Wilson.

Mr.. Bryan is barking up the wrong
tree when he comes back at Presi-
dent Wilson and his proposed de-
Tense plans. No peace at any price
at this time is going to stand much
of a chance in the face of the now
aroused American spirit. Mr.. Bryan
has lost caste among some of his
closest admirers. He must realize
this. "The Palisadian" talked to one
of the most prominent editors of the
country about Mr.. Bryan only few
days ago-a member by the way of
the National Democratic Executive
Committee. This gentleman said,
Bryan is an migrate and impossible.
l used to almost worship the man.
hold him now in supreme contempt"
This very radical view is only
sample. There was at one time no
way to dodge Bryan's influence. 1t
is no longer of any real importance.
Recently he has said that he is OF.
the impersonal side of politics. What
does that mean? That he doesn't
want office? There is not one to be
offered him, and none in sight. No
influence can ever elect him presi-
dent, and he would be foolish to seek
a nomination. At most he is dar-
ing, and he has following but it is
fast decreasing.
So any opposition Mr.. Bryan may
feel toward President Wilson's de-
Tense plans may be set down as an
opportunity for the Nebraskan states
man to continue in the limelight.
The advertising value of his opposi-
ton to Mr.. Wilson is apparent. He
couldn't buy the publicity he is get
ting at any price.

An Error.

A little error on the part of "The
Palisadian" in a recent issue in re-
gard to the borough's new sewer
system was noted rather strongly by
members of the borough government
at the last meeting of that body.
"The Palisadian" does not lay claim
to immunity from mistake or error
in it's presentation of reports of the
borough's happenings. It is human,
and subject to the shortcomings of
other of the borough's institutions
and agents. The general profession
of esteem and confidence which the
paper has received from it's many
friends and readers, however, are
an assurance of their belief in it's
