There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used in Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used m
some baking powders instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.

Bear Coming Back

The mystery of the recent great
Russian drives on the eastern wal
front need not appear so remarkable
after all.
While the world is asking, Is the
Bear coming back? and What is he
bringing with him? the answer need
not be vague or indefinite.
Russia has simply learned her les
son. With almost 200,000,000 popu-
lation, more than Germany, Austria,
England and France combined, and
unlimited resources, Russia will sur
prise no one if she now turn her at
tention to few conquests of her own.
The greatest trouble with Russia
is her lack of mobility in handling
masses of troops. Also, she has
lacked equipment in manufactures
for cannon and munitions. Given
both, and time in which to concen-
centrate troops in front of base of
supplies, and Russian arms move for
ward with the irresistible force of a
glacier. So far, in the present
summer drive they have overcome all
obstacles in startling manner, cap

Disrespect To The President

Some of the anti Wilson New York
newspapers have peculiar way of
supporting the President. The Sun,
for instance, begins an editorial by
saying Wilson has messed things up
in Mexico, but that the whole coun-
try will back him up in sustaining
American honor in war; This is q
process of saying that he is the
"mildest hammered gentleman that
ever scuttled ship or cut throat"
Partisan politics leads some editors
to forget themselves. Support to the
President is not support when accom-
panied by insulting filings. The
"Palisadian" holds to the doctrine
that any editor should be punished
who speaks even unexpectedly of
the chief magistrate of the land.

Loyalty OF BOYs

The loyalty of a boy is inconceiv-
ably strange. Beside a man, boy
can give cards and spades on the
issue of being true. He is loyal to
his fellows to the point of lying for
them, which is the living limit of
loyalty.
1t is not necessary for boy to be-
lieve in the conduct of his playmates,
He may not like some things that are
done, but when they are done, you
need not ask a boy who did them,
for you won't find out that way. 1t
is none of any persons business to
ask what boy did certain things in
his community. Boys don't excuse
this kind of loyalty-they just take
to it like a duck does to water.
Men are >aaNas loyal to each
Vllef as Do] E were, with
their more mature ideas of truth,
the world would be all the better.
Of course, there cannot be any ex-
cuse or defence of lying, but some
how one cannot help having a sort of
inward-a secret feeling of regard
for the chap who is SO loyal as to
evade the truth if the truth will get
a companion in trouble.
There is another good trait of the
average village boy. He does not
carry tales 'behind your back" They
do not carry false reports, and it
is seldom you hear of one boy "run-
ming another down."
Isn't it better for boy to lie in
favor of his fellows than against
them? Of course, a good way, the
best way, is never to lie at all. But
boys are boys, and they are loyal to
most things relating to themselves
You've got to catch boy red handed
to know that he has done something.
You will never learn it from his com
panions.

The Mexican Crisis

The situation between the Ameri-
can and Mexican governments has
now grown so acute that any hour
may develop open hostilities between
the two countries.
It is easy to see how fool thing
like this would turn out.
If the de facto ruler of Mexico is
idiotic enough to invite war with this
country he would see himself wiped
out so quickly and so clearly that he
couldn't even say what the wood
chuck did when the hawk struck him
-"Goodgod!"
Anyhow, if war comes, with the eff
ficiency and the power of the United
States equipment, the contest would
be sort of short-shrift affair. Mex
leo would soon find herself cut off
from supplies of all kinds, munitions
especially, and forced to surrender.
In her present depleted condition
Mexico could not put up much of a
defense in war with Uncle Sam
Then, when the fight is won, if we
choose, Mexico would be ours. But
the humane policy of our government
would be to set up protectorate;
teach the poor how to read and write
point out to them the folly of in
dolence and rapine and outlawry, and
make proper citizens out of them. 1t
would take quarter of century to
do all this, for school houses would be
set DIP everywhere; and the process OF
tutoring a slovenly, illiterate people
would be slow. This done, a trial
would be given the people under their
own rulers, and if self government
proved itself, Mexico would then pro-
coed to pay the United States all of
her indemnity bills. That's all.

Fireworks And HOUers

One hears few people argue that
the shooting of fireworks is waste.
This is not true. Fireworks are
like flowers in different form. They
represent flowers of the imagination.
God gave the world flowers and
fireworks. The one he presented in
visible form in their natural state;
the other he created in hidden, unseen
form. Both have been developed by
the brain of man.
Flowers and fireworks are analog-
Gus in beauty, though one is more
lasting than the other. Flowers live
and die; fireworks flash and fade.
Mans inventive genius has devel-
oped flowers into the most wonderful
creations; the same mental achieve
ment has evolved the most wonderful
creations and dazzling effects freS'
fireworks.
Given two products, nature-pro-
duced flowers, and nature-produced,
hidden elements, and the most start
ling results are evolved.
Man cannot create-he only in
vents. Flowers are adorable, fire.
works are enchanting. The mystery
of the rose in it's beauty is no less
enthralling than the secrets within a
rocket.

turing over 100000 Austrians, an I'M
precedented feat in itself.
Germany expressed her fear of
Russia from the very beginning, and
it looks now as though she may just
ly have greater fear than ever. At
the same time, there is yet Won Hin
denberg for Russian force to match.
This terrible warrior seems possessed
of the awfulness of an avalanche,
once he hurls his Teuton armies
against an enemy He may stem the
tide of the Russian advance, but even
he must realize that he is no longer
dealing with an impotent foe. The
time has come when Germany can
no longer sit back on her skill at
arms alone. She has efficiency greater
than any nation ever developed, but
surrounded as she is by enemies that
have each developed tremendous
striking power, Germany will have to
plunge with greater fury than she
has yet shown if she is not crushed.
To her supporters this seems an i'm
probable conclusion, yet it is not an
impossible one The outlook for huge
German gains this summer is more
gloomy than ever, and especially
since the five months futile massing,
plunging, hammering and unsuccess-
full drives and trip-hammer blows at
Verdun.
Germany is not yet whipped, but
she is long way from herself fetch
ing home the bacon.

Let The FreehOLders Alone

Whilst no man can claim the right
to stand sponsor for public officers
nevertheless the tendency of certain
Bergen county newspapers to fine
fault with and criticise the new small
Board of Freeholders seems ill-timed
The new board is too short lived as
yet for anyone to form correct
opinion of it's real efficiency. What
ever appears on the surface as in.
dicating cause for criticism may
not, upon closer investigation, prove
to be so.
A case in point is that of Free.
holder Reid Howell, in charge OF
public printing. Against the charge
of peddling the county printing
among New York City printing
houses, he sends an open denial. What
are we to do in such circumstances
The best thing to do is to wait anc
watch further developments.
There is this to say, however, re-
garding Mr.. Reid Howell: Not long
since he sent The "Palisadian" q
number of printing jobs that would
have totalled near the sum of 5000
Bids were asked on the work anc
promptly sent in. Out of this totaI
this newspaper was asked to print
less than SO dollars worth.
Now, with all the support accorded
the new board in the recent campaign
it would have seemed natural that
we criticise the freeholders, or Mr.
Howell, or somebody, for passing us
up, instead, we took our medicine and
no grumbling.
The freeholders are working out
their own destiny. If they represent
the business intelligence, integrity
and efficiency they are credited with,
Bergen county will hear from them.
If they don't they will hear from the
county. Give them a chance.

The Full Dinner Pail

After all, that old slogan created
by the Republicans in the days of
their former supremacy, "The full
dinner pail" is liable at the coming
election to prove the undoing of the
party that gave the saying birth.
At the present time there is so
much prosperity, so much work for
everybody to do; business is SO radi-
cally good everywhere, that the
thinking people will just about con-
clude that they will be unwilling to
swap horses in the middle of a
stream, no matter who is put W to
undo Woodrow Wilson.
The. party managers and the party
Spokesman Of the Republicans ~
not, of course, go before the country
admitting that any American condi-
tions could by any possible stretch of
the imagination make business good.
That would be impossible. It all
comes about by the great profit-tak-
ing America has enjoyed from the
European war. They will not con-
slider economic conditions at home.
They will not see that the ghost of
panic has been shooed away by the
Federal Reserve Act, and that pros
perity has come to every nook of the
entire country.
The most deplorable side of party
politics is the tendency to admit no
argument that proves good to the
"other side"
The "other side" in politics is al
ways bad, so that finally the voters
come to think it all over and decide
for themselves which side they will
lean upon.
1t will not be surprising if Presi-
dent Wilson's great achievements
during his administration do not
make the public do a lot of thinking
before turning him down. The best
business minds of the country know
that conditions are not only good, but
promising for the future. General
prosperity is not only striking, but it
is real.
hn nv@vy hot IICt 70 rNI
of depression when the European
war is over is not borne out by the
outlook. The surplus reserves of the
national banks were never so large
and sound. Money is plentiful every
where, and enterprise is as busy as
capital and labor can make it.
The new markets of Central and
South America are opening up for
us, and will greatly aid any deficiency
in our exports that may come from
the ending of the war.
The entire situation is so cheering,
so rosy and so hopeful that it must
be almost miracle to bring about
change in administrations at this
time.
The cry of preparedness is all
right, and President Wilson can
match records with Mr.. Roosevelt,
who had seven years in the White
House yet never saw the necessity of
any extra, sensational preparedness
scheme. Whatever the country
needs Mr.. Wilson appears always a
willing servant. 1t is going to take
something more than landslide to
beat him back, if, indeed, it do not
require catalysm.
A full dinner pail is always good,
but one running over is great joy.

United States-Mexico

Sealed bids will be received for the
killing, mutilating, strangling, and
general laceration of American citi-
zens, old and young, in uniform; also

ing, bodies. Alternate bids may be
submitted for participants north of
the border and those south.
Estimates may further be SUBJ

hat "Cummins was developed to
ais present towering strength
through much toll, physical and
mental and gained the equipment
which he has for public service by
years of doing the things which the
people believe ought to be done for
their good"
In still another letter Cummins
is held to be 1.-THE ideal man in this
crisis, because he fairly represents
the sentiments and is able to carry
out the purposes OF the men and
women who live RICH in the heart of
the nation, where the best judgment
as to national policies is calmly de-
veloped."
There are many more letters SIM
liar in tone commencing the private
and public career of Senator Cum
ms and advocating his candidacy
for president. The campaign to i'm
press upon the American people
these facts has made a splendid pro-
gress. 1t has reached out into a
dozen states. 1t is moving to the
Pacific and the Atlantic coasts. Min
nesota has already responded by
sending a solid delegation to the
National Republican Convention in
Chicago next June. Wherever there
is opportunity for presenting the
facts squarely to the people, and the
people have the right to act for
for themselves, there is approval Of
Cummins as a candidate.
Cummins' career has been that of
typical American carpenter, ex-
press messenger, surveyor and rail-
road engineer earlier in life, he was
later Iowas leading lawyer for
many years. He was a member of
the legislature sand seven years gov
ernor of that state. subsequently
being elected twice to the United
States senate. He is independent,
eloquent, aggressive, always patri-
otto. He has splendid record in
harmony with prevailing sentiment
on all great issues among the peo-
pie.
Here are some of the things Cum
Minis has done of national scope:
Railroads must show reason for
raising freight rates. He wrote into
the Federal statutes the important
principles that the burden of proof
must be on the carriers in the mat
ter of charging rail rates, under
which the Interstate Commerce
Commission has saved millions to
