"Hypocrisy,"

Nothing is more unjust, however
common, than to charge with hypoc-
risy him that expresses zeal for those
virtues which he neglects to practice;
since he may be sincerely convinced
Of the advantage of conquering his
vices as a man may be confident of
the advantage of a voyage or a jour
ney, without having courage or indus
try to undertake it and may hon
estly recommend to others those at
tempts which he neglects himself

The Christmas Angel.

Here comes the Christmas angel,
So gentle and so calm.
AS softly as the falling flakes
He comes with flute and psalm.
All in a cloud of glory,
AS once upon the plain
70 shepherd boys in Jewry,
He brings good news again.
He is the young folks Christmas.
He makes their eyes grow bright
With words of hope and tender thought
And visions of delight.
Hail to the Christmas angel!
All peace on earth he brings.
He gathers all the youths and maids
Beneath his shining wings.

White Still Juggles,
Then Juggles Again,
On Eastern Sewers

referring to Mayor Whites let
ter in last weeks Sentinel" said a
committeeman yesterday, 81 have
taken note of what he says about my
statements being inaccurate and I'M
fair I deny, of course, that any
statement Mr.. Kerwein has made has
been inaccurate or unfair. You will
remember that he showed that the
former engineers per centage for
engineering on the eastern section
of sewers, was just 2 1-3 per cent.
Why does Mayor White juggle this
as we'll as other quotations from
what he has said? Why, by includ-
ing in the word engineering all in
spection work, which is clearly an
unfair comparison, when it is con-
sidered that Mr.. Mason receives 5
per cent. for engineering alone.
Further, Mayor White has included
in the amount the former engineer
received, the total cost of plans and
specifications, while Mr.. Mason makes
a separate charge for plans and speci-
fications. Doesn't he, Mr.. White?
Can you deny this? This is only one
of many ways you have misled the
public into believing your side of
cause, which needed just the ventila-
ton l am giving it, and you know it.
mayor White says the former
engineer received $9,19S.51 for the
eastern section of sewers. Not a
word of this is true, and Mayor
White knows it. All that the former
engineer got was $6,949.34, and this
included all charges for plans, speci-
fications, engineering, inspection.
The inspection was paid for by the
former engineer, but under Mr..
Mason's agreements, the borough paid
this charge. Rather a different state
of affairs from that presented by
Mayor White, now isn't it?
again, Mr.. White states that
Mr.. Clark received $11,542.69 for
engineering on Leonia Heights
sewer, but he very carefully does not
say what this includes. As a mat.
ter Of fact $1,948.92 of this amount
was charges for preparing the plans
and specifications and $3,506.7O for
inspection, leaving balance of S.
0S7.07 for engineering. Not the
same as Mr.. White would have you
believe.
again, Mr. White in his COMPARE
sons attempts to mislead the public
into believing that under his system
he is saving 100 per cent. on en-
gineering for the borough. He does
not tell you that the amount of
money paid the engineer in any case
depends directly upon the amount of
construction work performed during
any given period"

This condition has existed during
the latter portion of Mr.. Thompson's
term and exists today, and Mr.. Van
Buskirk made it plain that in event
of his election he will see to it that
the taxpayers will not be called upon
to pay overtime" for the perform
ance of duties which should properly
be performed for the salary allowed.
What is the voter to do under the
present state of affairs? Mr.. Thomp-
son is a candidate for reelection as
Progressive after having "bolted'
his party ticket and is standing
upon his record" the merit, or rather
demerit, of which is set forth above.
Mr.. Mercer is the candidate of the
Republicans and the voters have not
heard from him one word to indi-
cate that he possess knowledge OF
these abuses, or if he does whether
he will do anything to remedy them
Evidently he also is running upon
Mr.. Thompson's record, so that moth
ing in the way of reform may be ex-
pected from him. On the other hand
Mr.. Van Buskirk has come out bold
ly both before the primaries and
since calling the attention of the vot-
ers to these extravagances and
pledging himself if elected to make
of the County Clerks office depart
ment returning to the taxpayers a
reasonable profit each year instead
Of as at present the meagre sum OF
$4,000 per year. Upon Mr.. Van Bus
kinks record of accomplishment and
effective public service as Tax Col
.ector of Hackensack the voters may
depend that he will do all that he has
oledged himself to do.
The people of Hackensack have
shown their confidence in Mr.. Van
Buskirk's ability by according him
reelection as Tax Collector for three
successive terms by majorities rang
ng from 500 to LOO. Can the vot-
,rs of the county do better than to
put their reliance upon the word Of
such man who has been repeatedly
endorsed by the votes of his neigh
oors in such great volumne as to have
aever been even nearly approached
oy any candidate in this or possibly

father of Congressman Archibald G.
Hart, on Kinderkamack road, Emer-
son. was entered presumably on Sum
day during a weekend visit of the
family in Hackensack and the place
completely ransacked. Trunks and
bureaus, closets and every conceiva-
BILE place were broken open and the
contents strewn about.
Five suits Of clothes, belonging to
Victor Hart, were taken, as we'll as
two overcoats of Mr.. Hart, number
of dresses of Mrs. Hart, and guam
tity of jewelry and silverware.
Entrance was obtained by cutting
out a section of glass with diamond
and unlocking a window on the south
porch.
Mr.. Hart and family were away at
the time visiting the Congressman in
Hackensack, and the house was in
charge of a caretaker. In conse
quence the robbery was not known
until the return of the family the
other night.
The County authorities were mott
fed and are working on the case.

The tennis world is confronted with
two momentous facts this year which
render predictions easy on one hand,
while on the other there exists a doubt.
The war has eliminated any POSSIBLE
ity OF the Davis cup matches, so it
can be safely presumed that the fore
most players in the country will par
ticipate in more tournaments than if
they We're forced TO train for the in
ternational competitions. With this
condition it is only necessary to glance
over the country where the largest
tournaments are held to discover which
ones will attract the western players.

players Of lesser ability as Ella Fot-

When a player has won two legs on
a challenge cup, valuable because of
the many names engraved upon it, he
is apt to consider pointing for the
place where that tournament is held
with the idea in mind of attempting to
carry the prize away. At Lake Forest,
just outside of Chicago, the western
championships are held, usually late
in July. and Mclaughlin has won two
legs on a challenge trophy there that
the OnwentSia club donated to the
Western Tennis association. The past
two years lie has been unable to par
ticipate in this tournament because of
the international matches, but this
year. on his way east to New York,
It IS fair to predict that he will stop
