To The Men of PaLisdde.

For several years the men OF
Palisade have been entertained by
their wives and daughters at various
public functions. Perhaps no one
effort on the part of the ladies stands
out with such particular emphasis as
the famous chicken-pie suppers at
the Union Church.
1t is high time the men folk were
doing something to show their ap-
probation of all that the ladies have
done for them. Why cannot the men
of the village get up "spread" for
the ladies'? 1t would be great event
and cause lots of fun. 1t ought to be
done. And it ought to be no half
handed affair. The men ought to do
the cooking themselves, the serving,
washing dishes and everything else
connected with it. 1t ought to be
held in the Public School, and arrange
ments should begin at once. Let it be
a homemade affair, every detail OF
which is done by men alone, with no
hired or outside assistance.

Walter E. Edge For Governor.

Hon Walter E. Edge, of Atlantic
City, and president of the Senate, has
announced his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for governor OF
New Jersey. Mr.. Edge bases his
claim for the nomination upon his fit
ness as business man. He thinks
the State could have more efficient
government if it's affairs were man
aged as a going business concern. He
recently proposed to Governor Fielder
that he be allowed to take over some
of the responsible duties of the of
flee, claiming that the responsibility
was too great for one man to Shout
der. Perhaps this is true. But the
responsibility of being governor is
always great, and it is difficult to
see how business plan of govern
ment would be superior to the pres
ent system unless some real head
were in charge to make the respon-
sibility absolute. That is why the
people elect governor in the first
place.
But perhaps Mr.. Edge has in mind
sort of State Commission form of
government with a real, live, wide
awake Business Manager at the head
of it. This would seem an ideal form
of managing a states finances.
Mr.. Edge would no doubt make a
good Business Manager governor,
and he has enough familiarity with
New Jersey affairs to make cork
ing good man for the job. He is in
no sense man of the "reformer"
type, is not faddist, and puts out
his platform in advance with a
mighty strong plank in it-a plank
which should hold up a multitude of
other things along with it.

The Wickedest City.

Which is the wickedest city in the
world?
If you ask an American this ques-
ton he will probably name Chicago,
which has most unenviable reputa-
ton. But he will be wrong. The dis
credit undoubtedly belongs to Irkutsk,
in Siberia. The population of Irkutsk
the very name has a cut-throat
sort of sound about it's 10000, and
every year 500 murders are committed
there That is a worlds record; and,
what is worse, the murderers gener-
ally get off scot free, for arrests
average only about one in every fifty
murdered, and only one-half of the
arrests are followed by convictions.
In order to remedy this state Of
affairs Irkutsk once decided to have
a vigilance committee of it's own.
1t got one-the worst vigilance
committee on record, for ex-convicts
and active thugs enrolled themselves
by the score and were given excep-
tional power by the governor.
is unparalleled in criminal history. The
The reign of terror which followed
police were massacred. Rich mer-
chants were shot in broad daylight
under pretense Of being suspects. A
system of house inspection and penal
confscation was introduced, which

The Booker I. WnshingtOn
Memorial,

Under the auspices of the board of
trustees of Tuskegee institute fund
of $2,000,000 is to be raised to perpet-
uate the institution as permanent
memorial to the late Booker T. Wash
ington. The negroes have pledged
themselves to raise half of this amount
among their race and the white people
of the United States are asked to
contribute the other half.
Representative citizens of the South
appreciated fully the far-reaching
good that the principal of Tuskegee
accomplished during his long years
of service and it is but reasonable to
expect generous contributions to the
memorial fund from the white people
of this section.
Booker Washington was a great
leader-the greatest leader his race
had ever known. He was thoroughly
equipped by training and experience
for building up the normal and indus
trial institution of which he had
charge, and his ideas touching the
kind of education the negro needed
were so sound and prJstical as to
gain for his efforts the sympathy of
every intelligent and fair-minded man
in Alabama.
Washington's heart was in his
work. Progress at Tuskegee was
slow at first, but the principal never
lost faith in the cause which he was
striving to promote; and several years
before his death he saw the institute
the recognized center of education
for the southern negro and saw, too,
the excellent results of his system in
the arts of peace-on the farm, in the
mechanic trades and in pedagogy.
In the year closely following the
civil war the race problem was
staggering. Could the negro be adj
vanced in education alongside the
white race without serious clash? was
question often asked.
But the question has been happily
solved. The negro is not only here to
stay, but the South needs him as
much as the colored race needs the
South. And the helpful relations be-
tween the whites and the blacks of
Alabama and of other southern states
are traceable either directly or i'm
directly to the leadership of Booker
T. Washington.
There should be no difficulty what
ever in raising the 100000 memoir
ial fund.-Birmingham Age Herald.

Edge Is A Candidate.

Senator Walter E. Edge, of At
lantic County, has finally declared
himself candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for Governor this
year, as many of his friends have
been expecting him to do. In his an
nouncement the Senator says that
while he has a personal ambition to
crafty, he is primarily interested in
carrying to a successful conclusion
the efficiency and economy program
which he was instrumental in start
ing, and to "make workable a COM
plete budget system, through which
a revised and modernized financial
control can be developed, until the
state of New jerseys $15,000,000 an
nual business will be conducted from
business mans standpoint"
For seven years Senator Edge has
served in the Legislature and dur
ing that time he has been interested
in the best progressive legislation
that has been enacted. He is a sue
cessful business man, having risen
from the ranks, and his record is
without blemish.
One statement made by the candi-
date will appeal to many taxpayers
he believes that the Governor should
be the responsible business manager

his policies, this exploitation would be
all but impossible.
The Presidents preparedness policy
is now threatened largely because he
has left the business of creating pub
lie sentiment to public that is be-
wildered by a multitude of discor-
dant counsellors 1t no longer knows
what to believe, but there can be
little doubt that lit will believe the
President, if he puts the case before
the country with the convincing force
that he can always employ when his
heart is in the cause.
Mr. Wilson is a great President,
one of the greatest of all the Presi-
dents, but he must take the Ameri-
can people as he finds them. The
country has come to expect closer
intimacy between the President and
the people than it used to expect
more direct interchange Of opinion
and sentiment. The powerful weapon
of government should not be left to
demagogues like Bryan and Roosevelt.
1t should be employed in the cause
of sense and sanity and disinterested
craftsmanship as well. If Mr.. Will
son will use it as he is capable of
using it, he will strengthen not only
his Administration but he will steady
the political thought of the country
and hold the Americans truer to their
traditions.-New York World

sense at times is almost purile.

sense at times is almost purile.
In an address recently in Florida
where he has winter home, he said:
IF Christianity is not capable of
finding substitute for war it is not
the religion we have thought it was"
He might with equal grace have said
that IT common sense is not capable
OF finding way to prevent war, it
is not what we thought it was.
In Europe neither Christianity nor
religion could find a substitute for
war, and the whole world is in the
same boat regarding Christianity,
common sense and war.
Christianity does not teach anv
country, including America, to per-
NIT their country to become so weak
as to invite aggression from stronger
nations. Thus far the great power
of American civilization and our ex-
haustless resources have prevented
attack. But there is proof that more
than one power has the itching palm
against us melted by jealousy or Gu
pidity. Our resources, however, have
held them off.
Christianity cannot and does not
teach that if a foreign foe were to
come to America and American wo-
men and children should be treated
as many have been treated in Europe
American men should sit quietly
obeying the orders of the invader and
permitting him to burn, kill and
ravage as he pleased
Christianity certainly would not
disapprove of the man who dies, if
necessary, to protect those he loves
If it approve of this, it also must
approve his taking steps in advance
to prevent attack. So Christianity
could not justly disapprove of pre-
paredness by this country, and nc
amount of specious argument by
Byran and his followers can make
Christianity responsible for our neg
Letting a necessity. The holy man
upon whose life Christianity was
founded was himself as militant a
foe to wrong as any character the
world has produced.

A Too Reticent President.

lcs is ore of the weaknesses of the
Wilson Administration that the Presi-
dent not only habitually ignores
criticism but he seldom takes the
public into his confidence.
He is the most taciturn Chief
Executive since Grover Cleveland; he
makes few speeches; he issues fewer
statements; he communicates little to
Congress and encourages nobody to
speak for him.
If Theodore Roosevelt as President
had ever accomplished one-tenth of
what Woodrow Wilson has ac-
complished, the newspapers and
magazines would have been swamped
with statements, issued from the
White House and inspired from the
White House, clarifying the work of
the Administration. No day would
have been long enough for the
Colonel to make all the speeches he
wanted to make and to receive all
the correspondents and writers whom
he wanted to use in chanting the
praises of himself.
Even Mr.. Taft, who had little
taste for press-agent exploitation and
shrank instinctively from the chorus
girl methods employed by his strenu-
Gus predecessor, recognized the value
of making direct appeals for public
support.
Mr.. Wilson has gone to the other
extreme. The present Administration
does not court publicity. 1t shuns
publicity, and the less it has to con-
ceal the more reluctant the President
seems to be to talk in his own behalf
or let others talk for him,
There is fine dignity about this
attitude, but it has its disadvantages
in carrying on the work of govern
ment. For one thing, the President
deprives himself of an aggressive
public support that is invaluable in
critical occasions. This sort of sup
port is likely to grow the more it is
appealed to, and by never appealing
to it the President chills and restraints
it.
What is equally important, all man
ner of ridiculous and foolish criti-
cisms of the Administration go on in
definitely because nobody in authority
takes the trouble to answer them and
dispose of them. Most of the fault
finding with the Presidents foreign
policy is the product of popular ig
norance of international law, history,
precedents and traditions of this Gov
eminent. This ignorance is now be-
ing capitalized by Republican poll
ticians who know it is ignorance but
who believe they can take advantage
of it. Had the President been a little
more eager to explain and defend

The Bungalow Tendency.

Suburbs are great things. They
are more than that, for no first-class
city would be without a dozen or
more, and hence they have become so
much a part of our daily existence
that we no longer look upon them
with particular interest, but take
them as matter of course. 1t has
become quite the popular thing to do,
among those who can afford to spend
their spare time travelling, to pur-
chase a six by nine bungalow with
a basketful of lawn, at least an
hours journey from nowhere in par
ticular, and consider this "real life"
in comparison with living in four
by eight flat where they have all the
modern conveniences, including a
dumbwaiter, to say nothing of a
twenty minute privilege of hanging
on strap on the way to work in
the morning. 1t is so much more
fashionable to buy a "house in the
country where the children can have
fresh air." that everybody is doing
it. People are more willing every
day to put out perfectly good money
for "shack" in a model suburb,
paying the same amount which would
have procured for them thirty years
ago nothing short of young estate,
the envy of their neighbors. So,
many builders of city flats seeing
the trend of the public, have given
up their old occupations and are
reaping large profits from the con-
struction of what is known as the
'installment bungalow" $40 down
and 81 week. It seems almost a
shame for the promoter to take the
money, but after all he is only hui
man, and he might just as we'll take
it in a suburb as in the city, so it
makes little difference to him which
way he gets it.

Christianity and Preparedness

William Jennings Bryan is so
water-logged on the subject of anti
preparedness, and so overfows with
specious argument on the subject of
peace, that his utter lack of common
