Triumph of the Spirit.

The eternal law of compensation
is at work, even in the midst of the
horror and devastation of the great
war. In compensation, in a certain
degree, for its blood and suffering,
there has come great spiritual
movement, and the thoughts of ordin-
airy men have been exalted to the
sublime. To-day, France, the nation
Oh cynicism and free thought, is
swept by a great moral revolution;
the resolution and devotion of that
country which inspires the admira-
ton OF the world, is happily, part
Oh the reawakened spirit of religion
and of sacrifice.
War, as one writer, and a peace
advocate puts it, "brings the heroic
opportunity to the average man, and
the heroic incentive to the exceptional
man." and the writer, a believer in
and an advocate of universal peace
"deplores that kind of opportunity
and that kind of Incentive; the cost
is fearful; is to be reckoned largely
IN what others must pay" But he
concludes that it is not to be ignored
that war brings a quick transition il.
responsive natures from the common
place to the cynical, to the sacrifcial
and sublime.
The English poet, Rupert Brooke,
went to his death in the Dardanelles
expedition with an exalted pride in
the reawakening of England, which
re-aroused with "hand made sure and
sharpened power"
Turn as swimmers into clean
ness leaping,
From world grown old and cold
and weary,
Leave the sick hearts, that honor
could not move"
In commenting on this pbase of
compensation in the great struggle,
Dr.. William levitt Tucker, essayist,
minister and former president of
Dartmouth College, says:
1.-The decentralization attending the
great war is as appalling as the
physical ruin it has wrought, but we
are nonetheless awed and abashed in
the presence of the spiritual trans
formation which it is effecting in the
lives of individual men, and even of
nations. Probably no phenomena con-
nected with the war has been as i'm
pressive as the capitalization of
France"

The New York endorsement OF

alton was a back-fire noise follow
ing the recent love-feast between this
able statesman and Theodore Roosc-

Just why such big men will under
take to use schoolboy tactics in poll
tics is puzzling.
Why didn't Mr.. Root make up with
Mr.. Roosevelt after the endorse
ment? 1t would have looked less;
polpable then. AS it is, it makes
even simple folk laugh.

The Right To Fight

Even the right to fight has been
denied poor voteless woman. A wo-
man boxer was recently ordered out
of the ring Of a New York gym
nasium because she boxed with a
man. More tyranny.
Hasn't woman an inalienable
right to get hurt?
We must prosecute this case with
vigor.
This "dog-in- the-manger" spirit
among male boxers threatens the
life, liberty and pursuit of pugilism
by our sex. 1t must be broken at all
costs.
Let us strike for the fistic fran
chise, sisters. Let us blacklist the
men who deny us the right to fight.
Let no man ever go back to the gym
nasium until he has promised to vote
for our rights in the ring.
What's that?
Most women do not care to box
with men?
What of it? eff only one woman
in the world desires that right, she
should have it."
The women who oppose us are the
allies of the prize ring interests
nollycoddles and backnumbers. They
only serve to shield the real opposi-
ton of the sporting men, doctors and
boxing commissions to our cause.
Boxing would develop women and
purify prize fighting. We would
have clean floors, pure water and bet
ter boxing gloves.
There is no argument against us
that does not equally apply to the
men. And our opponents are "anti'
everything.
Fights for women! Let us have
more than thirteen letters in oul
slogan and otis bound to come!"-Ex

Prohibition and Local Option

The defeat of the Local Option bill
in the Assembly by almost exactly
the vote that was predicted, 40 to 10,
may suffice to end for time this in
trusion upon public affairs by persons
of fatuous ignorance. The Senate
passed the bill by the one necessary
vote, because its members are elected
by counties, without regard to popu-
lation, and are mainly towards. The
Assembly, representing popular
opinion, was against Local Option
and will always be, we trust and be-
lieve. local Option" is device,
which is vice, to promote neighbor-
hood discord and to unload upon the
next town the responsibilities which
belong at home. 1t. is used by agita-
tors for their own purposes, and it
is fatal to all the more important
issues of government. 1t is a wick
ed and unjust attempt to use pre-

Again The I1OlUn HGU.

The Triangle Club, an organization
of young boys of Palisade, have set
themselves a most commendable task.
1t is to be hoped that they will be
helped along in their worthy enter
prise An article in another column
of this issue of the "Palisadian" tells
of their desire to build club house
for themselves, and the intimation is
made that they are not the least bit
selfish about it. They want to have
it for the whole town. The fact that
Town Hall is needed has long been
a topic discussed in these columns.
Several ambitious schemes looking
to this end have been fathered here,
but all have toppled over at the last
minute for one cause or another.
Something that could not be foreseen
always took place and frustrated
things.
The old story that youth must be
served" is we'll exemplifed in the
stand these young Palisadians are
taking about this more than import
tant matter. They desire to build a
home for themselves, and to provide
place for general public entertain
ment for the village. Could the un-
selfish side of real boys take higher
ground? The purpose is entirely
worthy, and there should not be the
slightest objections to seeing them
succeed. The plan is feasible, and
they have the hearty cooperation of
the "Palisadian," as they should have,
and doubtless will have, of every
citizen in town.
If the boys make up their minds to
build their club house, and make a
town affair of it, they cannot fail.
The thing remaining now is to go to
it and do it-that's all.

To The FreehOlderS Credit.

The action of the Board of Free
holders in declining to build any more
roads in Bergen county this year on
account of the high taxes, and the
large amount of Indebtedness already
on the books, is move in the right
direction. It is a fulfillment, also, of
prediction pledges, and the board
deserves every praise for living up
to it's agreement, an agreement that
said in plain English, eve will run
an economical government for the
county,"
The entire campaign was based on
the reform idea, and as it is so sell
dom that campaign pledges are kept,
the. Bergen Freeholders stand out
more boldly on the canvas of public
appreciation than they would under
ordinary conditions. Somehow, poll
tics is discredited as a general propo-
sition, and the opinion prevails that
it is mostly a game in which there
can be question marks placed after
any kind of prediction promise. One
of the most earnest takers in this
last campaign was George p. Eager
chairman of the board He talked in
diligently always, and said he would
not only devote all of his time to the
work of the office, but would see that
all eXtraVagancoS were cut out in
future. Some Of his speeches which
were heard by the writer were mas
terpieces of good business sense, and
he made fine impression wherever
he spoke.
To no one, therefore, may we be more
indebted for this latest act in which
the Freeholders have shown theic
determination to run a business man
agement for the county than to Mr..
Eager. That's the way to do things.
They went right out after the for
mer boards deficiencies and extrav-
agances, and have literally made
things hum. They have made good,
and are deserving of the highest
praise. Any criticism that may be
levelled at the Freeholders must be
of the most agreeable nature. They
have stood by the people all the time,
and the people will stand by them

Facilitating The Mayor.

1t is never very much consolation
to find that your pocket is being
emptied and an apology made for it.
This borough is burdened beyond
human endurance with everything it
should not be burdened with
Taxes have mounted by leaps and
bounds, and the mayor, instead of
abusing his predecessors in office for
neglecting the borough's finances
should be finding way to relieve the
people.
Not only is he not doing it, but not
even making beginning.
Instead, in his campaign he passed
up the cold consolation, "And taxes
are going higher"
When a mans taxes start at say
$40 a year on his home, then go up
year by year to 500, $120, S140, $3.50,
1928, and are now $241, on moder-
ate piece of property he calls his
home, it is high time something were
being done to put a stop to undue
taxation.
If Mr.. Kelly wants to do a hand
some thing by his own people, let
him go to his friend and whisper in
his ear, ed, for Gods sake, reduce
the taxes" That's the kind of glori-
fcation we need.
The people are tired of being led
around by the nose with half handed
promises of redeeming the borough
from the slough of despond into
which it has fallen.
A program that takes a mans all
to support the local government is
not leading toward the light.
Economy does not lie in the direc-
ton of creating new departments
that while they may be necessary
when we grow into something bigger
should not be saddled on us now that
we are bending under the weight of
burdensome taxation.
Just one dollar of real reform would
mean more than all the glitterino
generalities we are now getting. II
would at least be start in the right
direction, for we are now pointed the
other way.
The way we are going leads along
the road of Nothingdoing, and Ole

An unusually interesting event took
place at last weeks meeting of the
Fort Lee borough council. All I'M
suspected by Mayor White, and while
he was in the midst of the ordinary
deliberations of his board, a large
delegation of Palisades citizens came
in and presented petition Of en-
dorsement, a sort Of recognition Of
his labors according to the views of
some one who engineered the pretty
little compliment. Orator Vincent B.
Kelly acting as spokesman for the
occasion, delivered a speech in his
usual brilliant fashion, acquitting
himself perhaps in better style than
is his won't, albeit he is not unaccus-
toned to putting very handsome
touches to his oratory at times. The
mayor, taken so completely off his
feet showed a becoming modesty at
the tribute that was being paid him,
and replied, also, with fine speech
in which he reviewed the finances of
the borough quite at some length, re-
ferring to the necessity of creating
new public offices at this time, and
showing from his belief, he said
just why it is now necessary to take
on more expenses in order to protect
what is being done.
Now, the "Palisadian" has no real
cause to question even the good taste
of this handsome performance, and
would not do so if it could. These
little incidents of fidelity all indicate
the unselfish trend, and are the
means of helping to put Palisade on
the map. Yet there are certain
thoughts that come up in the face OF
this wholesale endorsement of the
new Palisade mayor that force them
selves even in the face of much mer-
riment and congratulation over the
success of Mr.. Kelly's little incur
sion into the realms of felicitous per
Torrance. Of course, no one be.
erudges Mayor White all these fine
honors which he so much deserves al
the hands of his admirers. 1t al
helps us along the rough road VIC
have been travelling, and leads US tx
hope, and to believe, that better days
are coming, sometime.
But while considering the work OF
the delegation THAT handed the neta-
phorical laurel wreath to the worthy
mayor, it is meet at this time to con
slider some other things.
1t isn't how nice man your mayor
is, what is he doing to reduce taxa
ton?

ton and distract attention from
great purpose.
"Local Option" does not mean tenn
perence, nor legal prohibition of the
sale or use of liquor. 1t means voting
on one question of interest, to the ex-
clusion of other questions, and to the
exaltation of the most offensive of all
men, the local agitator, filled with the
drunkenness of his own desire for
notoriety. Local Option is intern
perence.
Now, under our State government
it is possible to legislate only for our
State people. New Jersey cannot
regulate New York, nor Philadelphia,
Such is the government of the United
States, which formed union, but
reserved to each State the regulation
of its internal affairs. 1t is a pretty
good plan, altogether. But since there
must be State legislation, we cannot
hope to deal with social questions by
IdUlOlldl ldWS WlIHouC IiNduiliS iS-
served rights which the country de-
mands shall be kept for the States
for other reasons. These are basic
principles.
If New Jersey wants prohibition
New Jersey can have it and should
have it when the majority, honestly
counted, so desires. New York and
Pennsylvania may obtain it also, but
that is their business, not ours. II
will be said that if New Jersey adopt
ed prohibition it would be one form
of Local Option" This may be true
in sense, but that is the weakness
of our Federal system. 1t certainly
should not be perpetuated and ex,
tended to every locality of every
State.
Let us hope that when next the
Prohibition cause is presented to the
Legislature and the people it will be
by law abolishing the sale of liquor
throughout New Jersey. Compensa-
ton for the loss to the individual
may be necessary incident, but that
would not be a serious matter. If,
as claimed with much reason, the use
and sale of alcoholic liquor is a public
injury, it should be prevented by as
wide law as there can be framed
1t cannot and should not be less than
State law. 1t can hardly be more.

Some March Weather Records.

The month of March that came in
with sullen mien, and went out the
same way, nevertheless carried along
in it's slow-dragging lengths some
worthy records as March months go.
In the first place it broke away
from the "lamb and lion" tradition
of much wind betimes, and, although
there was a mean wind average OF
1877 miles per hour (the normal for
March being 1877 miles) this differ
ence was unimportant. There was
one windy day, the fifth, when a
northeaster cavorted at ga miles, and
vet one more on the seventh at 81
miles. All of the high winds came
out of the northwest caves of Boreas,
as witness: SO miles NV. on the 4th,
GA miles NV on the 9Th, A miles NV.
on the 9Th, Al miles NV. ond the 18th,
so miles NV. on the goth, 46 miles
NV. on the Goth. For the rest OF
the month there were some low
velocities down to $50 and 8.8 on
two days.
In temperatures March was away
higher than normal. The highest
was GO degrees on the 31st, lowest
7 degrees, on the 18th. The normal
March temperature in this latitude Is
37.5 degrees, while March this year
was 1922 degrees. The minimum
mean was 25.1 degrees against 3O.7
degrees normal mean minimum.
The lowest mean for March since
1871 was 20 degrees in 1872, 30 de-
grees in 1885, 80 degrees in 1896.
The highest March means have been
"A degrees in 1871, A degrees in
1878, 1894, 1898, 1902 and 1918. In
1890 the mean for March was As de-
grees, and 48 in 1903-an unusually

In clear weather March had s
days, partly cloudy 10, cloudy TO-
The average is 8 clear days for
March. There were no thunder
storms for March this year, though
there was just one isolated thunder
clap
The snow fall this year in March
was over two feet, or 25.5 inches,
divided as follows: 7.6 inches on the
9th, A inches on the 9Th, "a inches on
the 18th, 81 inches on the 21st, and
80 inches on the 22nd. There was a
fall of Ia inches, also, on the 10th,
and traces on seven other days.
There was sleet on the 9th, 7th,
9Th, 18th and 22nd, included in the
totals above. The deficiency of pre-
cipitation for the month was .39
inches, showing March to be damp
most of the time. The greatest
snowfall record was on the 18th and
18th in 1888, with 1875 inches, the
year of the great blizzard. The total
precipitation reduced to rainfall
inches was in 1876, 100 inches, the
record month. In 1881 and 1899
there was precipitation of CTS
inches. The smallest precipitation
was in 1910 with SO inches.
The percentages of wind direction
this March was 80 NV, 10 me-, 6 S.,
IL W., Is n, 6 e., se., 8 sw., calm O.
These figures are from the monthly
meteorological summary by the
United States Weather Bureau for
New York City, from which the" Pail

tions.
