plicability beyond seas, and above all,
sweeping changes along widely ex-
banded lines in our military and naval
defence equipment. All these matters
are urgent, so urgent that each in
itself would almost warrant a speedy
assembling of Congress in special ses-
sion. Yet the President is said to
hesitate about calling an extra ses-
sion, and with the disheartening pros
pect of a deluge of such bedlamite
stuff as this embargo petition, with
all the attendant oratorical miseries
inevitable, Mr.. Wilson's hesitation is
far from being past understanding or
beyond syupathy-New York Sun.

pressed know them; the kings of his
parallels were the kings of fairy tale
and legend; such rulers and poten-
tates as make the stock of the village
storyteller. His very way of speak
ing was a folk-way: the pithy SEN
tence, the pregnant figure. He saw
God reflected in every surface of the
common life, and taught in parallels
which are, after all, but a perfected
form of the quizzes and riddles dear
to the unlettered wit. That is why so
many of them are remembered, while
his profounder sayings escaped his
audience. It is evident from the form
of these, blunted as they are by re-
translation, that they were many Of
them cast in the matched and balanc-
ed sentences of Hebrew verse, which
accounts in part for their easy re-
tention.
He was man wise in life, but I'M
learned. He read no books but the
scriptures; wrote nothing; took the
folk-way of transmitting his teach
ings from mouth to mouth, and trust
ed God for the increase; and he had the
folk-way in his profoundest speech,
of identifying himself with the Power
that used him. He dramatized all
his relations to the Invisible. And
with it all he was Jew of the cir
cumcision. He grew up beyond Juda-
ism as stalk of grain grows from
its sheath, but never out of it. Always,
to his death, it was there about the
roots of his life.-Mary Austin, in

PALISADIAN

terial fact connected with the en-
tire matter, and does not mention
the right of Germany to buy war
material from the United States
if she could get it. This, of course,
makes the issue not so immoral as
it does one-sided. If the United
States did not stand within it's
rights as neutral nation, it would
not permit the selling of dollars
worth of munitions.
Now, as neutral newspaper,
one that has stood out strong for
Germany's position and strength in
this war, we cannot but protest
against such an appeal, and from
such a source, as the one printed
below. If any man who is a ma
turalized citizen of the United
States cannot stand up for his
country, he ought to leave it, or
give up his citizenship. These
things of coddling congressman and
doing the hazardous things that DR..
Boaz is doing, are far from what
we regard as loyal acts of Ameri-
cans. And any man who is dis
loyal in any degree is disloyal in
all. America first is our motto.
The presentations of some inside
facts by the New York World con-
corning German intrigue in this coun-
try has now brought the entire mat
ter before the National Government
at Washington, and it would surprise
no one to hear Of some very drastic
action in that quarter soon.
We have no desire to criticise any
man who errs through being misled !;
but there is now a limit reached
where the difference between loyalty
to America and loyalty to some other
country, must adjust itself upon line )
satisfactory to what is right over
here.

BrOhel On The Firing Line.

Joseph A. Brohel always was a
very clean chap. He was for several
years chairman of the Bergen County
Republican Comittee. He now comes
to the front and says the county needs
scrubbing. Joseph sees the light
at last. 1t was SO in his day, but he
could not put his finger on the leak.
Besides, graft was not so bold then
as now. Politicians did not graphic
the county by the throat and choke
it to death as now. They didn't hire
thugs to rifle the taxpayers as they
do now. They were satisfied with the
legitimate spoils of the spoils system,
and nobody said anything.
But things must have reached the
hazardous stage when Joseph Brohel
will squeal. This isn't intimating
that in the old days of ten years ago
when he was the polished chief he
knew anything on the boys. Perhaps
he didn't. But even then the germ
worked, or was getting ready to work.
In those days when one wanted to
accomplish something in politics he
went to one of the "powers" and stat
ed the case. In his own county?
Lord bless you. No! Outside of his
county. Certain recognized "recipro-
calls" went at Trenton then, and per-
haps they do now. But you had to
employ legal talent at price, if you
wanted anything accomplished This
was not bribing anybody. 1t was
straight business. You wanted a
benefit, or you would not be after it..
But it is for the people. Yes, all
things in politics are for the people
and they pay the price-if they get
it.
And so it has gone on all these
years from the days of honest Joe
Brohel until now. The grades and
degrees of political honesty in Bergen
County have gone on and on, spread
ing out like fan, as it were, until
they are now so all embracing that
they cover everything. But you can't
see what they cover. 1t is all as
opaque as black night. All one knows
is that the tax bills have gone up as
the fan has spread out; today they
are staggering, bewildering!
And so Joseph A. Brohel, dear, de-
lightful old Joe that he is and ever
was, is back on the firing line! Put
out your skirmish lines, Joe; deploy
your sharp shooters, put your big
guns in the artillery pits; have your
machine guns working, and shell the
enemy! Go it, old chap We are all
praying for your success, and may
God direct your strong right arm!

A Mississippi Optimist.

DR.. w. B. Martin, of Sunfowef
county, one of the Delta counties, was
a candidate for sheriff at the recent
primary election. He was badly left
as were many others who went down
before the Bilbo landslide. DR..
Martin is big, bluff, hale-fellow-
well-met sort of a man, of large brain
and a warm friend.
Here is what he had to say about
his defeat:
"They threw me clear out of the ring
but | am glad to say that l am not
even sore. l can still hold out my
hand and say friend to every man.
woman and child in the county.
have nothing to offer my opponents
and the good people of Sunflower
county, but my good will and my
prayers that Peace, Prosperity and
Happiness may sit perched over the
doorway of every home in this, my
adopted, my beloved county.
"To my own home folks l want to
say that | did not wear out my old
buggy in making the race for sheriff
that | am still good doctor; leaving
out the women and children l don't
give a damn how many of you get
sick-not bad sick, but sick enough
to have doctor, for | have got to
make living, so come on and show
me your tongue"

Does anybody KnOU?

The efforts the world is making to
solve the riddle of the European war
appear more and more puzzling. No.
body knows anything; nobody can ex-
plain anything. Both situations are
inexplicable. Why doesn't somebody
know something? Why cannot some
body explain what it is all about?
Does Germany know why she is
fighting? Does she really and truly
know? Outside of the fact that
Austria declared against Servia there
was no cause except that Germany
was ready. England was not ready
except on the sea, where she has been
always ready, but she was not count
ing on war. They say England had a
secret compact with Belgium to in
wade Germany. Foolish compact, and
the testimony does not prove its ex-
istence, for Belgium's King holds a
receipt for the delivery in duplicate
of the mysterious papers" found in
Antwerp.
France was not counting war, and
was not really prepared, though she
was always on war footing. Russia,
with big army, was not ready, and
is not ready yet. She will have to
squeeze herself in before she can
fight.
Italy wasn't thinking of war. Now
she is in it for greed, pure and simple.
She admits she wants back her prov
inces taken by Austria. With all of
her fine art in diplomacy Italy stands
about as much chance of winning as
Russia.
Thus, out of the six great powers
engaged, only one is outspoken as to
why they are in it. So, if the coun-
tries themselves don't know anything,
how can the average mortal be ex-
pected to divine cause or learn the
truth? A guess is as good as any
thing else.

No Wonder He Hesitates.

Hyphenated enterprise is now as
piring to general embargo on all
American exports, contrabrand and
non-contrabrand alike, to each and all
of the warning countries. A petition
to Congress to that effect having it's
origin in a recent Milwaukee "meet-
ing of citizens" is now in circulation
in Wisconsin and will be pushed Wig
orously among the populations of BIZ
furcated patriotism elsewhere.
A great deal of stress is laid in the
petition on the Importance of avoid
ing "stratifcation of our citizens"
and it is urged that any mere financial
loss incident to the absolute boycott
on belligerent money proposed will be
more than offset by the "unification
of our citizenship" War munitions
are of course included in the "ver-
boten" export list, but they are only
a detail. 1t is to be general shut
down on everything, on "all American
goods, products and provisions" The
inclusion of provisions as hyphen-
ated demand is little bewildering in
view of the cutlery not remote in time
against the deliberate villainy of a
starving out" policy applied to Ger
many's 100000 people. None the
less, foodstuffs are to be barred.
There are matters demanding as
early national legislative attention as
is possible. A repeal of the so-called
La Toilette seamen's act, an inter-
probation of the Sherman laws ap-

The German Illusion.

One of the mistakes made by the
Germans in the conduct of their side
of the European war has been the at
tempts to influence American opinion
through propaganda that appears
to have been inspired by Berlin. The
COMMUNICATIONS have been misled
into very daring acts through the
tolerance and the spirit of American
fair play, of which they have taken
every advantage. Perhaps it is not
going too far to say that it is no
more than natural that our hyphen-
ated citizens have done the natural
thing in lending all of their sympa-
thies to the German cause. No one
can blame them for this.
But in extending their sympathies
and lending all the legitimate sup
port within their power to the Ger
man side of the war, they have gone
| to the fullest extent of their rights.
In setting forth propaganda through
secret channels, and in declaring their
intention of asserting themselves at
the polls, they have gone just a step
too far. The sentiment in America
is very outspoken against this thing,
and it no doubt will result seriously
for many concerned, unless it stops
right now.
The activities of the propagandists
have now entered another field, and
"The Palisadian" last week lent itself
under protest but without comment
| to the issue in publishing at the re-
quest of DR.. Franz Boaz, professor
of anthropology at Columbia Univer-
sity, and a resident of the borough of
Cliffside Park, a letter addressed to
Congressman Hart. In it he dis
cussed the question of the immoral
attitude of the United States in fur
nishing war munitions to the Allies
This letter was not the single-handed
act of DR.. Boaz, but he had been
delegated, it is supposed, by the
German American organized propa-
ganda to undertake to do something
for the cause, and the part he played
was in addressing the congressman of
his district an open letter telling hin,
that his own people were guilty of an
immoral act in selling arms as a
neutral nation to an enemy of
Germany.
For the benefit of DR.. Boaz, it may
be stated here than an Introductory
editorial expression was prepared to
go with his letter, but was left out
at the last moment, merely to keep
down discussion, it being the editors
opinion at the time that the letter to
Congressman Hart was testing to the
extreme limits all American patience.
Here is the unpublished criticism on
DR.. Boaz:
Space is given the letter below
from Franz Boaz, of Columbia
University, not so much because it
merits any consideration, but be-
cause it shows to what lengths
German sympathy in this country
may extend itself. 1t is not, in the
opinion of the Editor, within the
province of DR.. Boaz or any man,
to say that it is unneutral to ex-
port arms. He lodges the most ma

SATURDAY, AUGUST Fl, 1915

If newspaper is only scrap of
paper, the town that brushes it aside
indifferently, is only puff of wind.
You can't get away from the moral
effect of a good town newspaper that
has the courage of its convictions,
that stands up for the town, and is
run with honest motive.
The power of the press is not when
the editor is conscious of his force
His honesty alone carries all the con-
victiOn the public needs. The correct
attitude of newspaper finally pushes
aside every obstacle.
Full many town is born to blush
unseen,
Because no newspaper has learned
to flourish there,
Just as town needs a newspaper
for it's proper development,
So a newspaper needs a town to
back it, in order to be a credit to its
name.

The Latest German Torpedo.

It will not be worth our while to
allow the sinking of the Arabic. the
White Star Line steamship. by
German torpedo to completely upset
us. To be sure it is savage realiza
ton to ponder over, because it may
mean so much. If any American
lives were lost on the Arabic there
is going to be no possible backdown
by the United States on its "unfriend-
ly act" attitude as expressed in the
last note to Germany. If it is es-
tablished that the Arabic was not
warned, or that American lives were
lost, it places the relations between
our country and Germany in grave
peril of conflict. God grant this
may not be true! p,
The Sun of yesterday pertinently
asks:
Is more murder Germany's answer
to us? Is it the answer of great
civilized nation, wonderful among the
races of mankind for its efficiency
and legitimate progress, constantly
through the voice of it's Kaiser point
ing to God Almighty as the director
OF its military enterprises, continu-
ally assuming and asseverating the
divine sanction?

attitude. Mr.. Sears is ardent always
in his party loyalty, which is to be

when he belittles President Wilson.
We have the kindest consideration for
Mr.. Sears personally, and he knows
it. But he slips cog sometimes, and
this is one of the times.
