The Derigible In Var.

So far in the great European war,
the derigible balloon, of airship, has
not made good to any tangible extent.
1t has been proven of very little real
value, unless its scouting records are
yet to be told of after the war is over
and the historian undertakes to tell of
what it has really done in this line
But as machine to be much dreaded
in warfare, it has not performed. But
it is not yet impossible for it to do
something big There are very astute
minds that have seen the possibilities
of the derigible, and these have not
hesitated to make predictions. The
scientific construction of the Zeppelin
type of derigible in Germany, has so
far, caught most of the worlds atten-
ton. 1t has done more than all the
other types. And yet it has not done
a great deal. 1t is because of the tri-
umphs man has made in the field of
science that makes many believe that
the day of the Zeppelin has not yet ar
rived, but may come at any moment.
Man has conquered all of the other
elements, virtually, that are known,
and that surround us, why not succeed
in his conquest of the air? If the
Zeppelin should make successful and
damaging raid on England, it would
startlo the world as no other achieve
ment in warfare has ever done. 1t
does not seem reasonable that such
thing could be done at this time, for
the reason that with all of the adj
vancement made in this style of air
craft, no really great success has been
recognized. But2man in circumstances
of desperation has always been more
resourceful than at any other time,
and it may be that Germany will yet
have reckoning with her enemies

Fort Lee School Election.

There will be an important election
in the borough of Fort Lee next Tues
day for three school board members.
Palisade is entitled to two regular
members, but as there is one hold
over member, and two Palisade candi-
dates, it is not going to be an easy
matter to elect them later. And it
will be equally difficult to elect one in
the present circumstances. Unless
one of the Palisade candidates with
draws, the hold-over member in ali
likelihood will be Palisades only rep
resentative on the board for the next
three years.
DR.. Berkey in his open letter OF
acceptance when he was put up as d
candidate, announced that he would
consent to run only on condition that
there be no opposition in Palisade.
Yet in the face of a very decided,
though almost unwilling opposition,
made SO by an unexpected compiled
ton, DR.. Berkey finds himself still
in the hands of his friends and is
still a candidate. He would make AN
admirable member of the Board OF
Education-a shining light, in fact,
what his chances are for election is
another matter. There can be moth
ing said against the other Palisade
candidate, Mr.. Schall. He is far from
being a negligible quantity in the
campaign, and is sure to poll good
vote in all parts of the borough.
The interest in this election is sure
to bring out a large vote. 1t proves
that village politics can have as many
heart throbs and be possessed of as
much feeling as though a great prin-
cipal were involved in a national cam
paign. After all, the world of the
individual is reduced to very narrow
confines. The folks in the great city
beyond have no realizing sense of the
deep emotion that stirs the villages
across the Hudson at this time.

tariff is a fixture. 1t is there to re-
main. 1t will stay on the books. The
Republicans will never dare to re-
move it, even if they should again
come into power The public wants
the tariff tested. It is going to be
tested, and no two years trial is going
to prove it bad. There are millions
of people who think the tariff right
as it is.
During all of the loud shouting of.
Congress for this or that, President
Wilson has stood in the midst of it
with cool, calm mind and unrufIled
head. He has never WINGED, con-
scious every minute that the aim of
his administration was high, its pur-
poses clean. There has been no hint
at IDEALS" of any character in con-
nection with the administration. Mr..
Wilson has fought always in the open.
There has been no doubling processes
to cover tracks. Whatever the trail
he has blazed is there in an unbroken
line. The enemies of Mr.. Wilson are
merely the chronic GROWERS of the
opposing party, and principally these
have come from the men who have
always representated or sided with
the special interests. But the special
iy4o re ,hol Ut
us hope, for all time. There is no
argument but greed that ever held
them in power, no feeling but selfish
ness that now wishes them back in
control. But Mr.. Wilson has been
farsighted and keenwitted. He has
looked long way ahead. He knows
that the country long prayed for just
what he has brought about, and it
has been too tremendous a task, and
the job has been too completely done
for any set of mere politicians to
tumble it over like house of cards.
Every bit of the legislation put into
effect by Mr.. Wilson has been sub
stantial; it will wear well; it will
stand the test. The Tariff, the Bank
ing Law, the Income Tax, the Euro
pean war policies, the Mexican posi-
ton, the saving us from war there
all are themes for the future his
torian. The account must be taken
years hence when the story is re-
lated on the pages where the record
stands. Somehow the impression
forces itself that those pages will be
thumb-worn because their curiosity
will attract those who want to know
the truth about a great man.

Taking Themselves SeriOusiy

The Equal Suffrage League of The
Palisades has lambasted "The Pail
sadian" so severely that even if there
were anything the editor might de-
sire to say, he would feel a delicacy
in doing so for the reason that the
criticism offered against the stand
by this paper is so complete that
saying anything else would appear
to be unnecessary. In the first place,
"The Palisadian" is for equal suf-
frage and has said So The dear
ladies who have seen proper to take
this paper to task, appear to have
ignored that altogether.
There are a few facts, however,
presented in the criticism that need
Illuminating a bit, because they are
not altogether as stated by the Equal
Suffrage League members. The nam
ing of the number of years that suf-
frage has been in existence does not
mean the least thing in the world as
an argument in favor of WOMAN
suffrage. In fact, it rather detracts
from any argument in favor of equal
suffrage, for the very simple reason
that what suffrage has done in the
states named is of no sort of con-
sequence whatever. Take Wyoming,
for instance, that has had suffrage
for forty-four years. Whoever heard
of anything suffrage has done there
Indeed, all that has been accomplish
ed is so negligible that when the suf-
fragists want real something to
talk about, they cite Colorado. All,
there is where woman has shone re-
splendent. Their world-famous State
Senator came to Palisade once upon
a time and undertook to tell all that
Colorado represented as a field of
genuine accomplishment by women.
Her lecture was highly interesting.
One thing she did was to throw the
meeting into an open one after she
had finished talking, saying she
would answer any question. The
editor of this paper asked her to
name something really tangible that
suffrage had done for Colorado, and
she instantly replied, "Well, l am
very glad you asked that question.
Among other things it has done is
to reduce juvenile crime 265 per

4 Minister'S Strange Doctrine.

Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, rector
of the Church of the Ascension,
Episcopal, of New York, preached a
sermon last Monday week at the Len
ten services that stamps him as
revolutionary radical of the first type.
Mr.. Grant came more nearly avowing
the doctrine of free love than any
man has ever dared, and considering
his position in the church, it is with
out precedent The Bishop of his own
church, David II. Greer, roundly de-
nounces Mr.. Grant, and Rev. DR.. M.
T. Manning, rector of Trinity, is en-
phatic beyond measure. Mr.. Grant
attempted to arraign the divorce
law, and said it should be broader;
that when people cease to love they
should separate. His exact words
were quoted in an editorial comment
of the New York Sun on Thursday,
which follows:

ment disappears the only ground for
marriage. # i
'If the only basis for marriage is
love, why, in the event of that love
being changed to loathing, should the
marriage continued"

What America Needs.

business conditions as follows:
"Our folks in America keep trying
to boost business issues. But the
fact remains, conditions are poor.

to learn how to live and thrive unto
ourselves, regardless of all other
nations. Just cut out all superfluous

A Short History of the Development
..Of the Telephone Business
in Great Bend

During the boom days OF Great
Bend one or two attempts were
made to establish telephone SER
vice in Great Bend but the first
effectual attempt was made in
1889 by Mr.. w. B. Grimes, of the
Grimes Light, Phone and Power
Co. Since that Great Bend has
had continuous telephone service.
The first service Mr.. Grimes un-
dertoOk to provide was with auto
matte equipment, after two years
trial it was found that this SER
vice was not satisfactory to the
people and expensive as to main
tenance.
The next service was furnished
of the common battery lamp sig
nal type, the switchboard hav-
ing been installed in the building
now occupied by MeSSrS. Fank-
hauSer & KoOpman. This was
one of the first common battery
SwitchboardS to be installed in
the state.
After operating the light plant
and telephone exchange for two
years, Mr.. Grimes and his aSSCcl-
ateS found the financial burden
more than they could take care of
and the Great Bend Telephone
company was organized, the
switchboard was then moved to
the Wilmer building over the old
poStOffice, the exchange was en-
tirely rebuilt at that time, 1902
and 1903 and a few farmer lines
were built and connected with the
local exchange. In 1906 another
section was added to the switch
board and additional cable added
to the outside construction.
In 1910 the cable installed in
: 19O2-03 and 1904 commenced
causing trouble, the insulation
being broken, the poles were al
so rotten, and it became neceS-
Sary to rebuild the exchange and
the SwitchbOardS were also cauS-
ing trouble, it being evident that
they had about Outlived their use
fulneSS, the cOmpany'S assets at
this time appeared to consist of a
plant that had practically out
lived its usefulness and several
thousand dollars in notes in Great
Bend and Larned.
In 1911 the management sue
ceeded in inducing the Missouri
and Kansas Telephone Company
to interest themselves in several
exchanges in this portion Of the
state, the different exchanges were
consolidated into one organiza-
tion, The Arkansas Valley Tele-
phone Company. The Great Bend
exchange was entirely rebuilt in
1911 and 1912, the new switch
board, a lamp signal common bat
terry multiple switchboard, was
installed in Inc Mcbride Build
ing, the wires in the business pOr-
ton of town were placed under
ground, and wires in residence
section were placed in aerial ca
bleS.
In June, 1912, the old exchange
was abandoned and service was
commenced at the new exchange,
The old equipment was then
iunked.
From 1910, the time when a
number of Great Bend men fur
nished first capital to develop the
telephone business to the present
time, approximately half of the
average investment has been car
ried on money borrowed either
as individuals or as a company,
this money has cost from six to
eight per cent annual interest
while the average return on the
actual value of the property has
been less than one per cent.
