PARTTCEPS CRIlNINIS.

Notwithstanding the accusation
and apparent proof that there was
actual and more attempted fraud in
the voting on the recent Cliffside
Park school election, the matter
should be passed along for what it
represents. 1t does not represent
great deal-nothing that is good. To
be fraudulent voter is scarcely diff
ferent from any other kind of crime.
But the poor, ignorant devils who
were induced to vote illegally were
not so much to blame as the smarter
politicians who used them as tools
to thwart the voice of the people.
There are no grades or degrees of
dishonesty in the opinion of many. A
man who will induce another to COM
nit felony is particeps criminis in
the eyes of the law. But in cases
like the false votes that were led to
the ballot box on the school ques-
ton, the real burden of sin is on the
head of the man or men who urged

A BOROUGH CALENDAR.

The socially inclined of the COM
munity will be very busy next week

NEW JERSEY MUNICIPALS.

The recent sale of Bergen county
bonds at par to private individuals
without the usual formality of sub
hitting them to the public by adver-
tisement, is brought most wildly to
mind through the advertisement of
some bonds now offering from the
City of Passaic. The bonds are to
bear four and a half per cent. interest
and the announcement for their sale
says they are readily worth $1.05, or
$1.047s, at the lowest. We do not
find here any higgling with the lone
private firm, but on the contrary, the
most up-to-date method of trying to
convince the bond-buying public that
the offering is out of the ordinary.
This process of saying things about
the true value of the security while
not exactly like department store
advertisement, at least bears some
resemblance. Blankets that are off
cred as special value, worth really
more, are offered at six dollars the
pair! The City of Passaic says vir-
tually the same thing. Not less that
$1.041a, and they should bring $1.05!
This is at least felicitous, and shows
that it pays to go at things of this
character with the same sound bust
ness methods that should prevail in
offering any other true value.

the commission of the evil deed. But
even if no action is taken against
these men through the ordinary
channels of justice, there a higher
law, fundamental ruling of fate,
that will take care of the evil doer
He cannot escape. The moral SEN
tence will be upon him, no matter
what he does to escape it. The ret
ribution of this mysterious though
certain force of justice is absolute.
There is sure, steadfast, even-gaited
tread of certainty in the march
or retribution that comes finally upon
all who violate the moral code. 1t
is as certain as fate makes anything;
it is as fixed as principal of psychol-
ogy or, as the mystery of the stars.
To him who blazes the path of crime
into the forest of Gods multitude,
there is no avenue of escape. He
enters and his rambling way is soon
overgrown and disappears as he con-
tinues into the everglades and
marshes that end at the Slough of
Despond, and he is swallowed up in
it's Shiny ooze. There is no recon-
pense in creating, inducing or prac-
Using fraud, except the backward
kick. And this always comes. Play
with fire and you must expect the
burn.

The Hudson River Bridge.

The persistent manner in which
Major S. Wood McClave hangs on to
the idea that bridge must span the
Hudson river, is to be commended.
With all of the decisions that have
been made by the various State Com
missions, he continues to hammer
with a patient purpose that is
most admirable. The bridge is
great demand of the times
no one will question. 1t ought
to be built, and doubtless some day
will be built. If it is, no one may
claim one 1.-THE the credit that will
belong to Major McClave. After
sitting all of the bridge plans, how
ever, the opinion seems to prevail
that there is only one spot along the
river front opposite New York where
geological conditions favor bridge.
At 59th street, there is location
that is we'll suited. But north of that,
the silt in the river, according to
such well-known geological experts
as DR.. Charles P. Berkey, of Columbia
University, and others, make it al
most, if not quite impossible to build
span from piers that should be
built out in the river on which to sup
port the spans. A bridge cable can
be built only to limited size. The
present East river bridges are said to
be the extreme limit in cables of a
given size. Above the size used in
these, the best expert testimony
claims it is not safe to go. A bridge
across the Hudson would ornament
the landscape, and be visible monu-
ment to it's builders. 1t ought to be
built, if it is possible. Colonel Dan
Lamont once killed a Hudson river
bridge because when he was Secre-
tary of War he merely said it should
not be built. Since that time building
Hudson river bridges have all been
on paper, and are liable to continue,
unless very drastic action can be
brought about, and caulk up the
seams in the projects that have al
ways sprung leaks. Let us hope so,
at any rate.

THE VILLAGE CHARM.

City dwellers have little apprecia-
ton for the quiet village life. Yet
there is undisputed charm in the
smaller place that is not thought of
in the city. The artifciality of the
city is apparent; whereas in the vii
lage life is far more natural, and
there is none of the restraint that in
dicates lack of freedom. Out in
the open, the intercourse with neigh
bors is one of the benedictions that
come from knowing that first and
best of all criterions upon which to
judge of character, the more intimate
association. Men come to know each
other in the village. Human char
acteristics stand out, and men stand
finally for what they really repre-
sent. But aside from this relation
ship, the quiet of the village lends
many additional charms. The joy of
seeing the stars shine at night is one
of the blessings of life. The moon
rides slowly across the skies, shedding
it's soft rays, and mellowing the
nights into a species of calmness and
beauty one never wearies of. Here
are blessings, delights, joys, that
never can come to the city dweller.
1t all tells a different story to the
home dweller. To him who stops and
needs what there is that is best in
life must choose the village for all
that it brings of happiness.

CLIFFSIDE PARKS SHAPE.
Outline of Borough that OfAni-
NAL Nth Large Head and
Small 7uH.

The borough of Cliffside Park is
the shape of an animal. Perched
upon the broad shoulders of the Pail
sades, two hundred feet high above
the waters of the Hudson, with it's
eastern boundary reaching to the
jagged edge of the cliff, a few hun
dred yards back from the rivers
western border, is the plot of ground
known as the borough of Cliffside
Park.
The nose of the borough reaches
to latitude north, forty degrees, fifty
minutes; it's tail, so to speak, ending
at point two miles below, or thirty
five hundred miles south of the north
pole. The face of the tract is some
what wrinkled by great earth waves.
At the tail the borough plot is
only sixth of mile wide, this por-
ton being half a mile long. The
head is square nearly mile on a
side. Between these two portions is
the connecting part, or body, forming
q square half mile on side. The
head is all that portion north of
Edgewater road, and reaching to
within three hundred feet of Daily
Town road. The body reaches only
to the reservoir and Anderson avenue
on the west, and from there south to
Main street. The tail runs along the
trolley tracks to the Hudson county
line. It's what-is-it.

The Speakers

It is scarcely necessary to in
troduce Mr.. Collie Seaborn to our
readers. He has just finished
his high school course at Pickens
and is ready for college. But in
school he stood at the head. He
it was who brought the trophy
cup from the state meet at Co.
lumbia. He also DEVELOPED
strong powers as a public speak
er and those who hear him on
September 2 will not be disap-
pointed.
Lieut.. Gov. Bethea is known
to many of our people. He is a
young man of ability, a strong
advocate of temperance and a
most pleasing public speaker.
Col. w. d. Upshaw is known
as the spineless man. He is
editor Of the Golden Age, a re-
ligious paper published in At
lanta. He is the cyclone speak
er against liquor. Few men
have his equal on the stump and
when he fails to entertain others
need not try.
All who hear these men will be
richly rewarded.

Prohibition in West Virginia

Mr.. Fred O. Blue, State COM
missioner of prohibition for
West Virginia, has just prepar-
ed statement showing a fifty
per cent decrease in crime and
seventy five per cent decrease
in drunkenness since state wide
prohibition went into effect.
In an interview Mr.. Blue said:
We have received reports
from fifty-four municipalities
throughout !, the state. which
show the following results: To
tai arrests for the year ending
June 30, 1914, l5,267; total ar
rests for the year ending June
30, 1915, 7,731. For the year
ending June 80, 1914, there
were arrested for drunkenness
1926, and for the year ending
June 39, 1915, there were ar
rested for drunkenness, 2,772.
You will note there is a de-
crease in crime in the, State as
shown by these reports Of prac-
tically fifty per cent, and a de-
crease in drunkenness OF practi-
cally seventy five per cent.
Il regard this showing as
wonderful for the first year of
prohibition. There are many
other indications Of the good
prohibition has done for West
Virginia, but to put it in abso-
lutte concrete form is at this
time impossible. With another
year Of prohibition we will show
many other results.
The figures 1 have given
you are absolutely correct, and
are the reports of the different
mayors throughout the state.

Georgia Bankers Close 1t Out

Four hundred bankers attended the
recent Georgia Bankers association,
and by an absolutely unanimous vote
closed out forever all spirituous and
malt liquors from their banquets. The
following resolution, introduced by
Banker z. H. Clark of Moultrie, Ca,
was adopted without opposition:
''Itis with peculiar pride that we, the
bankers of the state of Georgia, are
considered among the leading factors in
the development of the state, not only
in the financial and material develop
ment, but in mental activity and moral
strength. 1t is a compliment to US as
individuals as we'll as an organization.
Being leaders in the mental, moral and
material progress of our country puts
upon us peculiar responsibility.
In order that we may be unanimous
in our solidarity for higher develop
ment, | feel that we should be unani-
nous in our relations with one another.
Some of us are unalterably opposed to
the details maintained in this conven-
tion that of serving liquors at our an
nual banquets. 1T is mere detail, you
may say, and yet it is an infraction of
principle with large majority of this
organization. hardly believe that a
minority of this association desires to
impose that detail on the majority when
they realize how obnoxious it is to their
sense of right.
Therefore move that it be the
sense of this body that no spirituous or
malt liquors be served at any of the
banquets of this association or in any
way under the auspices of this organi
zation.'
