Mr.. Sears And The President.

In the face of an almost unanimous
backing given President Wilson by
the American press and people on
his war policies, it ill becomes a man
with the supposed mature judgment
of Seymour Sears to continue be-
lifting him. 1t is rare that we have
known any mans partisan bias to go
to such extreme lengths as Seymour
Sears. Such a stalwart Republican
newspaper as the New York Tribune,
uncompromising in it's Republican
proclivities, has only recently said
time and again the most enthusiastic
things in praise of President Wilson;
and the support he should have by
every loyal American, regardless of
politics. Nothing could be more earn
est or more sincere than the praise
the Tribune has given Mr.. Wilson.
And it has been so all over the
country.
1t therefore ill becomes Mr.. Sears
to assert in a political meeting that
"any other man would have done as
WE'LL" meaning that Indifferent credit
should be given to Wilson on his war

Christ A Small TOlDn Man.

He was a small-town man, and no
world-builder. He preached the
Kingdom of God, knowing God for a
spirit and having an increasing reali-
cation of the Kingdom as a state OF
being. But he had no program. He
followed the inward voice, and follow
ed it instinctively, with the freedom.
of a river in it's natural channel, with
no fretting of the flesh. But where
the voice left him uniformed, he was
simply a man from Nazareth; his
social outlook was the outlook of a
villager. All the great prophets of
Israel had come out of the wilderness:
their words were full of the terrible
on the mountains. But the words of
Jesus are all of the small town-the
candle and the bushel, the house
wife's measure of yeast, the children
playing in the street. The rich he
knew only as the poor and the op-

The series of mass meetings now
being held in the borough of Cliff
side are touching upon the most i'm
portant movement beyond any ques-
ton that has ever taken place in the
borough. They relate to large ex-
penditure of money for the purpose
of building permanently good road
ways. Elsewhere in this issue of
'The Palisadian" is a short interview
with P. Otto Hunicke, of Palisade,
who has recently returned from Cali
fornia, says that the making of Los
Angeles which is now city of 6O0,-
900 population, has been brought
about through the building of road
ways. Nothing has tended to make
California great more than her magni-
fcent system of public highways. AS
between fine roadway systems and
the automobile, California has been
made to blossom as the rose and no
state has a more promising future.
1t is the same wherever fine perma-
nent roadways have been built. AS
matter Of fact, any country or town
is really not too poor to have good
roadways. There is no known power
of civilization so strong in develop
ing town or section to compare with
good roads. If Cliffside is wise, it
will go for the new bond issue that
is to make her public highways prom
inent and lasting. 1t will add hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in
values, when without good roads pro-
gress is always slow.

Clifside's NelU Enterprise.

The movement in Grantwood to
have the Public Service allow the
making of a roadway out of it's right
of way passing through the entire
borough of Cliffside is one of the
most far reaching and pretentious en-
terprises ever undertaken by a NUM-
cipality of Eastern Bergen county.
It has made strong appeal to the
leading citizens of the entire borough,
and everybody is giving the matter
the closest attention.
On the part of the Public Service
there is everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by this arrangement,
which calls for a fine thoroughfare
that will extend all the way from
Fairview to the Fort Lee borough
lines. The plan contemplates the
building of broad avenue right
through the heart of the borough of
Cliffside, exactly the same as all
streets in New York are constructed,
or, as the Public Service has now
running through the town of Wood
cliff. The tracks are in the middle
and the top of the tracks on line
with the road surface.
The best part of this proposal is
that the entire burden will fall upon
the property owners, the railroad not
having to put up cent of the con-
struction money. The property own
ers feel that the work will more than
pay for itself in five years through
the rapidly enhancing value of their
holdings. This, no doubt, would bring
a quick response to the undertake
ing, and for this reason the matter
is receiving the earnest attention of
the borough officials to whom the
idea has been brought through the
medium of petition that has been
presented to the council. The whole
thing looks very attractive, and should
receive the support of every citizen
who feels an interest of the Dor
rough's future. This magnificent en-
terprise, coupled with the splendid
new high school now under process Of
construction, should give an impetus
to the. material growth of Cliffside
that has never before been approached
in the history of the borough. The
fact that the measure originated in
Grantwood is another evidence that
this town is always wide awake, and
that it has enough enterprise to make
a go of things when other towns are
sitting down thinking them over.

The Leo Frank Lynching.
The final lynching of Leo Frank

The final lynching of Leo Frank by
Georgia mob was exactly what was
coming to that most unfortunate
young man. There was not channel
through which he could escape with
conditions existing as they were. The
fact that Governor "Nat" Harris had
only recently visited the State farm
at Milledgeville and found everything
in poor condition, including lack of
security, makes the executive of
Georgia most culpable because he
neglected duty at a time when i'm
mediate action was imperative. Had
Governor Harris removed Frank to
the federal prison at Atlanta until
such time as the old penitentiary at
Milledgeville could be made mob
proof, he might have saved himself
the responsibility that greater crime
than Franks has now placed upon
him and his state. Had Governor
Harris acted as the conditions he him
self had looked upon and knew de-
manded instant remedy, he could have
saved the State of Georgia from the
foul blot lawless mob of murderers
has placed upon it's escutcheon.
Governor Harris is as much NOR
ally responsible for the killing of
Frank as the mob that strung the
poor devil to the tree in sight of Mary
Phagan's grave. And this is not
taking sides on the question of Leo
Franks guilt or innocence.
The masses of American people be-
lieve Frank was innocent. Yet there
is still an element holding to some
so-called secret information that be-
lieves him guilty. This is what
Mayor James G. Woodward, of At
lanta, meant in his San Francisco
speech last Tuesday when he said,
Common decency prevents me from
telling you of the revoulting truths
of the murder of Mary Phagan."
What were these "revolting truths"
that people keep limiting at about this
case? Nothing could be too revolt
ing that would bring out the truth.
Georgia has been disgraced, not by
her best citizens, but by the neglect
of her highest officers in her govern
ment. The whole story of the Frank
case is shocking example of how
far and how easily the human mind
may be inf1amed by just common loose
talk. That pack of wolves in humon
garb should have murdered Leo
Frank proves nothing, establishes
nothing. And more's the pity the cost
of it all.
