.big uns" are making chopping

insatiate ambition to be the head of
the Government From the time he
first entered congress in 1913, to the
time of his death, in 1852, the bee
still buzzed-almost forty years.
Henry Clay had it from 1928 to 1852,
and was three times candidate,
in 1928, 1882 and 1874. 1t was
Henry Clay who said, 81 would rather
be right than President" and which
became proverbial. Maybe the people
took him at his word and Let him down
easy.
Blaine was another great, big,
powerful statesman, one of the great
est of all Americans, who had the aim
and aspiration to be President. From
his entry into congress, when he was
speaker, senator and secretary Of
state, he still had the fever, and even
Grover Cleveland's victory in 1884
never quenched Blaine's ambitious
fire for the office.
Bryan thrice his partys candidate,
and once receiving the largest vote
his party ever gave a candidate, is
said now to be once more laying his
plans to enter the arena. But this
time he has big gamble on his
hands.
He has chosen for once, the wrong
psychological moment to shy his
castor. He has to face Wilson, and
Wilson is so big and powerful today
that nothing could eclipse his shining
light.

Some Difference NOlU.

There is some difference in the
relative positions of the United States
and England today compared with
the situation 139 years ago when we
declared our independence. From g.
100000 we have grown to more than
1OO,00O,000, and that is some differ
ence. Our Declaration was solar
plexus to England, but that country
had her hands full at the time with
several other fights, or she might
have come over and troubled us as
she did the Beers. Today we are the
equal of any nation in the world, and
really superior to most of the others.
But we are blessed with the in
stinct of peace and possessed of COM
mon sense, so that with all of our
overwhelming power, we don't want
war and won't have it if there is any
way to pass it up. The rest of the

The NarrOU VielU.

The moral effect of false attitude
is seldom considered by the man who
persuades himself into believing that
the liberal way, the broad way, is
not the way in which to deal with
all matters, public and private. When
we pin ourselves down to one idea
we become narrow and cramped in
our views, so that whatever spirit
there might be within us that would
lead us into the light, is dwarfed by
the egoism of selfishness, which nine
times out of ten is innate meanness.
Men go laundering through life crush
ing out the very blossoms of their
own hearts merely because they
cramp their viewpoint; their visual
angle is limited to so small an area
that their ideas do not cover much.
We should not confine our views. To
be sure, when we have sincere pur-
pose, our views must take in clear
vision the whole horizon. We must
lift up our eyes from the ground.
We cannot fail of heaven and earthly
rewards if we steer clear of ruts.
Getting into rut is fatal to all in
tellectual, social or moral growth.
There is no expansion under the
guiding hand of selfshness.

Americas Hope.

All attempts at forecasting the end
of the European war having now be-
come impossible, the business men
of America are beginning to look
around at home for natural expan-
sion and development of trade. That
things are looking up is evidenced by
the large amount of preparation and
activities visible everywhere. The
well-informed man of business is at
this time more hopeful for good
business season in the coming fall
than for long time. This business
activity which threatened disaster
during the first few months of the
European war, has been constantly
on the increase, and July finds the
general conditions highly satisfactory.
There is a great industrial army
in the United States. 1t is now busy
with itself fortifying the country, not
with a network of trenches in which
to bury men, but building up the
breatsworks of commerce and manu-
facture in order that prosperity may
again be crowned king. In this land
of the free and the home of the brave
the war spirit is engaged in a fight
against the spirit of unrest, and in
the building of happy homes. Peace
and prosperity should be our portion
for another century. For somehow,
America, centered and isolated as she
is must be the balance wheel to all
civilization. Her light must shine for
all the world, and her example of

The Tense Situation.

If the forecasts of President Will
sons note to Germany may be be-
lieved, the situation at this writing
Thursday nights more acute
than at any time since the beginning
of the controversy. A hundred mil
lion hearts are at prayer against hos
tilities. The President puts the issue
squarely up to Germany. He does
not mince words, say those who have
been given the outline of his mes
sage to the Kaiser.
1t is to be hoped that notwithstand-
ing the exigencies of the situation
which made the destruction of the
Lusitania possible, as we'll as justi-
fable in German eyes, the Kaiser
will yield gracefully to the demands
of the American people. He has al
ready yielded number of points; it
would do no hurt to yield this one
more. There would be not the slight
est sacrifice on Germany's part if
she met the American contention
squarely and acknowledged the corn.
1t would elevate her in the eyes of
the entire civilized world. Germany
knows this. AS the matter now
stands, almost all of Europe and all
the rest of the world is opposed to
the German attitude. While this of
itself does not prove Germany in the
wrong, it makes all humanity believe
that she cannot be right.
Peace with honor appears to be
the popular demand in Germany to-
day. Certainly that people do not
want less of peace with America.
Let us all hope that the Presidents
message carries home to German
right and justice.

The county newspapers have been

Edgewater's Government
Communicated

ICOmmunlcaCeQJ
Semi-monthly, throughout the year,
the borough of Edgewater sits, SYM
bolically speaking, within small
rallied council enclosure. Herein, sit
the seven men, embodying supposedly
the highest interests, human and COM
mercial, of the sovereign community.
Here, supposedly, are its strongest
brains, it's keenest minds; here, sup
posedly, it's prominent and success
full business men, the managers and
owners of it's great factories, its real
estate promoters, and leaders in pro-
fessional and artistic life.
Supposedly-yet one looks in vain
for the presence on the board of rep
resenatives of the borough's domi-
nant interests, men of successful
business and intellectual accomplish
ment. Edgewater, the so-called
wealthiest borough in the state of
New Jersey, representing grand
total investment and valuation of
from $15,000,OOO to $20,0OO,0O0. is
represented on it's sovereign council
by the owners of probably not one
half of one per cent. of the towns
wealth. Edgewater, the sovereign
communal plant, with its blocks of
dwelling and manufacturing struct-
ures; it's picturesque assemblages Of
cottage homes; it's systems of road
ways, sewers, sidewalks; water, gas
and electrical supply lines; and, above
all, the heritage residing in it's citi-
zenry of the noble ideals of commun-
ity of the worlds greatest democracy

small affairs, however honorable, her
blacksmiths, cafe and saloon man.
ayers, or keepers, and lesser prop
erty holders, the conduct and control
of her civic life.
November 2, is the date of the next
general election. On this date, under
the election law, the power of three,
at least of the borough's official rep
resentatives to retain their control
beyond the year-end automatically
ceases. 1t is rumored that that of
fourth will also cease Voluntarily.
1t may be that one or all of the
outgoing members will again offer
themselves as candidates. Every
American instinct for fair play should
not only grant them the right, but
give them full credit for their will
ingness to serve their community
Their example is praiseworthy, and
it is to be hoped will be followed by
others who have in the past held
themselves apart.
Edgewater is about equally resi-
Dental and manufacturing, and it
would seem as though the latter in
terests for the sake of their own
"amour propre" and repute should
seek and labor to assume a share in
the more human and cultured devel-
opment of the community of which
they are so important a PARTON

Var Oddities.

The oddities in the present con-
troversy with Germany are many.
For instance: The world knows that
England, very small-sized territory,
is entirely surrounded by oceans.
There is no connecting land any
where. She has been forced during
the progress of the centuries of her
existence, to fortify herself against
invasion by utilizing those forces
that appealed to her as the most
certain to beat back an enemy. AS
the years have passed, Notifications
have gradually come to be regarded
as impossible in themselves to stay
an attack made from the sea. The
only other medium, therefore, that
presented itself was sea power-a
commensurate navy. And so for over
one hundred years the English navy
has been the paramount issue in de-
tense.
So, long before the present Euro
pean conflict began the necessity for
English rule of the sea was preach
ed and put into practice. Statesmen,
publicists, naval and military experts
England's only salvation. A great
navy became national axiom. If
England survived it must be by the
protection of it's fleets. Thus the
English navy grew and grew apace.
While Germany was making land
war-machine, England was making
another on the seas. She was in no
wise interfering with warship ex-
pansion by other countries, but she
was looking religiously after her own.
Can any one imagine Germany not
starving England into submission
were it not for the British navy :?
That would be the first attempt at
subsection. So now, when the siege
| of Germany is not complete, and it
is shown that Sweden can sell goods
to Germany, but America cannot,
complaint is made that we favor the
allies. Germany would take a lot
from US if we could deliver England
would close all the Baltic ports if
she could, and also shut up the Hol-
land frontier. In war each belligerent
has it's task set at harrasing the
enemy all it can. That is the bust
ness of war. 1t besieges country
exactly as it besieges a city. There
is no material difference-only a diff
ference in process. The fact that
England cannot make a complete
blockade does not deny her the right
to make it as complete as she can.
This is an admitted rule of war.
What England is doing any other ma
ton would do.
These are some of the oddities of
the present war. One country says
another is violating international law:
another says because we cannot you
must not. Not only is this specious
argument, but it is unjust. But is
anything more unjust to humanity
than the war itself? 1t is hardly
conceivable.
