TO Let Thinga Drift.
An attempt made at this conference
to decide upon a plan OF action failed
j. was agreed that the best thing to
10 was to let things drift for the present.
Meantime resolutions intended to sim

various members OF the House. Most

and most OF them expressed confidence

Issued a warning 10 Americans to keep

There was considerable excitement In
the House at 5 o'clock when II became
known that the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee had at last been called to order

was general that this meeting might
bring the situation 10 4 head.
The committee discussed the situation
In n general way for an hour or mor.,
when finally Representative Miller. Min.

Barefoot Children

The children of the present gener-
alton are missing lot of childhood
happiness by not being allowed to go
barefoot. Few of them are allowed
to go without their shoes in summer
time.
Mothers and fathers conceive the
idea that it is not good form to all
low their children to go without
shoes. Where this idea originated
would be hard to imagine. There is
nothing offensive in seeing a bare
foot boy or girl And yet some
mothers punish their children for
daring to seek the freedom of a touch
OF mother earth by running around
barefooted! Certainly there is health
in the barefoot theory.
On this point, here is what a lead
ing physician said sometime ago on
this subject:
"Going barefooted strengthens the
muscles of the feet, prevents weak
feet, so-called broken arches and the
other disorders which belong in the
group. The muscles which move the
toes turn up, become misshapen or
twisted, or whenever the muscles of
the feet lose their ability to move the
toes, the chances are that the arch
has given or is on the way to give,
or the foot is due to develop weak
foot.
"There is not much danger from
hookworm in any part of the coun-
try if the boy or girl will wash his
or her feet we'll once or twice a day.
Even if hookworm infection does
occur, it can be cured without much
trouble.
"The way to prevent weak feet is
to exercise the muscles, ligaments,
tendons and joints of the feet. A
good way to do that-in fact, the
best way-is to go barefooted. The
reasons for going barefooted out
weigh the reasons against it in most
parts of the country In hookworm
country perhaps it is better for the
children to wear sandals. The argu-
ments for girls to go barefooted is
strong. Girls are more apt to suffer
from weak feet. Going barefooted
makes pretty feet"
If the youngsters of every COM
munity would form Barefoot
Club" it would prove of inestimable
value to them.

The British Blacklist

The sooner Great Britain gets rid
of the delusion that there can be one
kind of international law for Ger
many and another kind for herself,
the sooner will she establish her posi-
ton among the other nations of the
world as fair and just.
The United States has been COM
PEELED to dispatch a sharp note to
England recently because of the
blacklisting of more than four-score
firms and individuals in this country
that dared do business of one kind
or another with the Central Powers.
The London government has upon
more than one occasion taken too
much for granted in fixing it's policies
with America in the present war. We
may be natural allies with England by
long ties of origin and association,
but we are forced to be actual neu-
trails in this war, and have tried to
live up to the principle of strict neu-
trality in all of our course with the
European nations involved.
It is going to be hard shedding for
England to prove her case against the
blacklisted Americans. So far, ex-
cept from bare assertion and from
biased sources at that, there is no
evidence that ana5unf the parties
named violated any laws of neutral
ity. Certainly they have done moth
ing detrimental to British interests
in general.
President Wilson from the very be-
ginning set his face as flint against
allowing unneutral acts by Ameri-
cans. If England really thinks she
can 60 over our head in this matter,
she will find herself sadly out of
plumb in short order.
The administration at Washington
is giving the matter proper atten-
ton, and we venture the prediction
that she will bring England to her
senses in a perfectly sincere manner.
International law never before SO as
serted itself as since the European
war began. 1t is not going to fail
at this time, either, and England can
not break it down.

1t has been announced that Judge
Cornelius Doremus, of Ridgewood,
has entered the State Senatorial race
in Bergen County on the Republican
ticket, and he is making an active
canvass. He has made several
speeches already. He is we'll known

For many years he was counsel to

Hughes Would Haze
SaUed Lusitania

Among the many claims made by
Mr.. Hughes is one that makes us all
wonder why our hindsight is always
better than our foresight. He would
readily have stopped the sinking of
the Lusitania by merely being "force-
full" with Germany. He would have
told the German ambassador that his
country would not dare to sink the
Lusitania, but he would have told him
in such manner that it could not
possibly have been misunderstood.
The United States Government did
demonstrate with the German en-
bassador when the advertisement was
printed warning passengers not to
sail, and was informed that the mat
ter was out of his hands. In other
words, the order had gone to the SUBJ
marine commander to torpedo the
Lusitania, and it was then too late
to issue counter instructions.
Thus we have the spectacle of
claim by Candidate Hughes that
makes him really ridiculous. Ger
many violated the law of nations
when she torpedoed the Lusitania.
She has acknowledged her error, but
has not yet atoned for it, the rush of
war being, no doubt, the cause for
her long silence. But world sentiment

Hiqh School For Fort Lee

The action of the Fort Lee Board
of Education in deciding to take the
first steps looking towards the estab-
fishing of a high school in the bor-
ough is one to be highly commended.
1t should have been taken long
ago.
The proposal is not to begin now
and build new high school, but to
put in business course in one of the
other schools and let it be the start
ing point. This will give the borough
high school ranking under the pres
emit State law after two years, and as
it is enlarged it will finally develop
the finished product of a high school
itself. That is exactly the way the
present Cliffside high school was
begun.
In this connection it is worth
while to call the Boards attention
to Palisade as a location of the
new high school. The present
Palisade school is not large enough
for a high school, but there is
ample room already for taking care
of the business course it is proposed
to put in. Then, when the borough
can afford to erect a finer, larger
building, it could find no more invit-
ing location for the big high school
than Palisade. There is already ample
ground which would be one asset in
the beginning. A fine, classical struc-
ture of the kind the borough will
finally want to put up, would look
well on the present public school site
in Palisade. There isn't anything
more desirable in the whole borough.

Use Your Noodle

The man who works mechanically
does not find it easy to make progress.
1t takes initiative to get ahead.
Any man with even mediocre talents
may walk away with the chap over
him by using his head-his noodle,
if we may be pardoned the use of a
touch of slang.
Almost all lines of work and bust
ness hold positions of exactitudes
and times of trial, when it requires
patience and skill to overcome them.
That is the time to use your head.
Stop and think. Don't waste time re-
forming people. Don't misuse your
brains. 1t is no effort to think a
little.
But when you do think, think right.
That's the stuff. Put every bit of
knowledge you have on your problem.
Don't bluff yourself along. Know
you are right, then go ahead. That's
the judicious use of brains.
You can terrify the earth that way,
let alone the fellow over you.
- Don't let little things upset you.
Don't be afraid you can ever do
too much. But doing just little
more than you are supposed to do is
what makes the man ahead of you
sit up and listen.
Every firm is looking for the man
who is awake; who does not soldier
on the job; who isn't afraid to set the
clock ahead an hour day. You are
bound to get recognition.
Concentrate and think.
Results will take care of them
selves.
Just use your noodle.

in the Lusitania case.
Candidate Hughes would have used
such strong words about the Lusi-
tania that Germany would have seen
in a minute that he meant business.
The mere matter of going to war
about it was nothing at all. Also, as
in the case of Mexico. He would
have used merely "unmistakable

Hughes Speech


his supporters and tickled his op-
ponents.
1t did not reach out into the
larger sphere one had hoped to see
the distinguished jurist attain. 1t
lacked the punch, in that it was
neither creative nor enlightening.
To really state the case, Mr..
Hughes, had it been in him, could
have made bigger hit had he let
Wilson alone. 1t will not do to I'M
derate President who has put into
force as much constructive legisla-
ton as the present administration.
When the President took his seat he
declared that it was not so much
policy as program he was laying
out-a program of performance. Hav-
ing announced the things he wanted
to see done, he went after them.
Viewed in the impartial light of
cold truth and simple justice, Mr..
Wilson has lived up to his promises.
He had busy program to work off,
and he has put it through with I'M
fiinching courage. These are the
things Mr.. Hughes did not touch
upon. He did not commit himself
upon the careful guarding of the pub
lie good evidenced in the tariff and
banking law. These things had long
been considered by the Republicans,
but they could not put them into
operation by law. Nor will they now
undertake to undo them, because they
are progressive measures and de-
mand of the times.
Taking Mr.. Hughes utterances as
a whole, it may be said that they are
no more American in their sentiment
than President Wilson's. They are
not more lofty or more patriotic.
What then, is their chief character
istic? Merely TRADE of abuse and
criticism of the President and his
party
One Of the weak things said by Mr..
Hughes was that the United States
is held in contempt by European
governments. What proof is there
of this? Who says so? Just gossip.
The tale was started by enemies of
America and it has travelled far.
There is not the slightest evidence
that American diplomacy is in dis
repute anywhere. So base SANDER
was never uttered. 1t is partisan
nightmare, and has become joke.
The facts in the situation are that
American diplomacy never before had
SO many triumphs in the face of most
trying coalitions. Mr.. Hughes knows
this if he is honest. He could easily
have spared himself this useless form
of attack, for it is sure to react
Taking the acceptance speech as
whole it is meant to be reassuring
of just those things America is get
ting. 1t boasts of being firm" with
Mexico, thing that has already
been done to the utmost. Nobody
wants war with Mexico, yet Mr..
Hughes policy of firmness would
certainly bring it on. In what meas
ure or manner Mr.. Wilson has lack
ed business cannot be stated with
truth. He has had his wits and his
patience put to the most extreme
tests, and has triumphed.
Whatever praise may be given to
Mr.. Hughes speech, it's main feature
was an ill-timed and ill-tempered at
tack upon Wilson.
The best answer Mr.. Wilson can
make will be his record, and the final
answer will be given by the people
in November. Mere party abuse is
not going to beat Wilson. He has
either pleased or displeased the coun-
try. The ballots will tell how much
and just how he is regarded.

nave participated in the contest to 159 for the junior league. The least number employed was in the 1915 series, when the Athletics used twelve and the Giants eleven. In 1912 and 1915 total of thirty-four took part. each contender in this years putting seventeen on the field. The 1905 series also holds the record for the least number of runs scored. the total for the five games being but eighteen. The greatest number of runs made came in the play between the Pitts burgh Nationals and the Detroit Ameri- cans. the two teams collecting total of sixty two runs in seven games.

AMERICAN LEAGUE CAPTURES MOST OF
 WORLD SERIES
Fennant Series of Other Years Favor Younger Organiza- ton, but Nationals Win More Games by Two.

NEW YORK, Oct 7.-The Worlds Series of 1916, the twelfth under the auspices of the National Baseball Com mission, finds the American League leading in the race for premier base ball honors by the narrow margin of one series, so that victory by the National League representatives would tie the standing at six series all. O. ing back to 1905, when the New York Nationals defeated the Philadelphia Athletics four games to one in series in which every game was a shut-out, the American League stand ard bearers have won six series and the Nationals five.
 Although outplayed in the series to date the National League teams have won more games and scored moro runs than their American League rivals, when the eleven series are con- sidered as a whole. From 1905 to 1915 the two pennant winners of the major leagues have met annually in a series of Worlds Championship games, the winner of the title to be the team which first wins four games out of the seven yearly scheduled.
 Up to the present but one team won four games straight, the holders of this unique record being the Boston Ma tionals of 1914, which defeated the Philadelphia Athletics four times in a row and thus brought about the breaking up of what many consider to be the greatest baseball machine in the history of the game. The New York Nationals and the Boston Ameri- cans figured in the longest series when they played eight games in 1912. Boston winning four; New York three and one game being a tie. In 1907 the Chicago Nationals defeated the Detroit Americans four games straight but the series consisted of five games. the first being a tie at to when dark ness halted the play.
 Comparing the work of the teams in the eleven series to date 1t will be found that sixty-one games have been played of which the National League clubs have won thirty; the Americans twenty-nine. with two games tied. The average for the series are as follows: games per series, ell: runs per series, 27 ell; runs per game 3-4.
