Road BuiLding.

The awakening Of the American
people to the necessity of fine roads
was never so apparent as now. What
the railways were to the development
Of civilization in America in XIX
Century, so public highways are point
ing the way towards higher develop
ment Of the country's resources today.
Even the unresponsive State of Mis-
sissippi has caught the meaning of
good roads building. With cotton at
80 cents a pound, Mississippi will
soon be very rich state. Here in
New ersey, with untold riches every
where the public highways are mis-
cradle where they were formerly the
best. But it is gratifying to know
that the tendency at present is to-
wards general betterment in this
direction. General Goethals is on the
way towards system which will add
many millions of dollars to property
values everywhere.

to be the badge Of admittance to in
wade the judiciary, the voters will
beyond doubt again show their indie
pendence of party lines and register
most emphatically their disapproval
of such appointments. Fortunately,
however, the appointment is made by
the Governor of the State, and he has
shown his determination too many
times during the past year not to be
influenced either by politics or poll
ticians in order to give the people of
our State an administration second
to none in the country. To appoint
any one to this important Office with
no greater recommendation than be-
ing good fellow" and politician
would be little short of a public out
rage. Machine politics, bad enough
at best, should at least draw the line
at the Judiciary Already we have
seen too many political decisions, and
too much politics from the bench. :

Linguistic Can,ouRage.

The brief interview published on
the front page Of this issue of "The
Palisadian" with young man men,
Der of the Bible Class formerly taught
by Rev. M. J. Bradshaw, is very in
teresting testimony relating to the
minister's attitude on the war at that
time. This was before the latter
came to Palisade. "The Palisadian''
is in possession of still stronger facts
regarding Mr.. Bradshaw's questionable
loyalty which it deems unnecessary to
print at this time.
The cry of persecution has gone up
in connection with the effort to get an
understanding on the young minis
ter's position on the war, but no
charge of this sort is justifable. Far
from trying to prosecute any one, per-
haps prosecute would better fit the
occasion.
When it comes to using linguistic
camouf1age, the athletic dominic can
discourse with the magic Of lost
archangel," but with all of his color
ed volubility he does not seem to fit
in by many lengths with the accepted
standards Of American patriotism.

The German Creed.

1--WE Germans and Christians are
also taught by honor and duty that
there can be no peace for the souls Of
the dead or the living until a conflict
is settled by the victory and triumph
of our arms. Pagan belief and Chris
tan faith alike teach us that we
should give our lives for our broth
ers, for our fatherland, for our Kai-
ser and his empire, for the victory Of
our arms, in order that there may be
peace for the living and rest for the
dead. Therefore was is the most sub

AHHH HHBH
Still Off The Job.

To the utter amazement of every
body, there was not a syllable in last
weeks Fort Lee Sentinel about the
Hearing" before the County Tax
Board Nov. 30. When the Board met
recently in Fort Lee, Mayor White
appeared before it and stated his in
tention to move heaven and earth to
secure justice for the taxpayers in an
appeal for reassessment of the
whole Borough.
The County Board has promised an
other hearing, but if Mayor White
himself gets a reassessment with his
own labors in that direction there will
have been a miracle performed.

A Lesson In Taxation.

The sale of nine acres of land in Fort
Lee, the T. Sanford Ross property,
for 100000, is lesson to the Bor-
ough authorities who now see the
error of their all too low assessment
Of $4,000 On this estate.
The real value of the Ross property
has long been known, and only few
weeks previous to the completion of
the present years tax list, Assessor
Cavanaugh wrote to the Borough Club
for any information it might have
regarding it's real worth as prop
erty value. The Assessor already
had the facts Of an offer of $150,000
cash for the Ross holdings, but
in the face of it all, the assessment
remained unchanged. If this property
had been assessed at $150,000, an ap-
proximate to it's true value, it would
have been the uesns OF dropping the
stas+ pL..a.-t seles several points.
Witness these figures: In 1916sthe
tax on the T. Sanford Ross property
was $997.20. In 1917 it is $874.8O.
In 1916 it should have been $4,155,
assessed at $150,000, and the tax in
1917 with the same assessment should
be $3,646. Thus the borough was
cheated out of $3,157.80 in 1916, and
fleeced of $2,770.20 in 1917.
An administration that has the
facts about real values and does not
give them any attention needs to be
pried out Of its rut. This is why al
most 400 property owners are now
in revolt and organizing against in
competency.

Americunism.

The significance of Americanism
demands neither definition nor ex-
PLANTATION. It is word that carries
its own unqualified intent, and has no
derivitive to indicate its origin. sit
is word that comes out Of the bowels
of "the land we love-" and it's d.
rection is SO clear that like rocket
blazing it's way across the heavens it
is seen of all mankind.
And yet there is deeper thought
behind Americanism than that it prin-
cipally represents the United States.
It is the morning star of the Western
Hemisphere, and its ideals, written
first in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, shaped at that time the course
of the the whole world towards dem
ocracy. The history Of America is
the epitome of democracy and this
country is the first and only republic
that ever passed the century mark.
Judged by it's past and it's marvellous
growth, and clinging to its original
ideals and its old hopes, it bids fair
to be even more luminous a thousand
years hence than it is today, and God
knows its light shines for all at this
time.
This is all that Americanism need
stand for today. But it is enough.
And one may add that with liberty,
justice and equality as its motto, it
stands solidly against all attack, be-
cause it is impreerable. Most that
is necessary for world-religion is
in America, and hopeless
must fall any mans attack who dares
assail it. Only fool or braggart
would undertake Il Ct tins time.

No $3.50 Patri0tism Desired,

In these times Of stress Of war, it
behooves every loyal American to as
sert himself to the fullest degree in
favor of his country. And while it
is not expected that there will not
always be small percentage of mall
contents, this element is scarcely Of
any moment except as trouble-makers.
The real cause for worry over this
class of our population is their secret
processes of fomenting discomfort.
That they are trying to injure Ann
erica's chances in the war is self-evi-
dent. They do 80 many things out
wardly to INDICATE loyalty, but
under cover they are emitting every
kind of love of our opponents in the
war, and contributing every grain Of
comfort to them that they can get
away with.
This, of course, is playing the game
fifty-ffty, and it can't work. All
men who enjoy the blessing of citi-
zenship under the support of the
United States Government must be
100 per cent. loyal. Drastic action
is coming to every mothers son Of
these men who are in the $3.50 class.

The Presidents Message.
It is scarcely necessary to add

1t is scarcely necessary to add in
mentioning the Presidents message,
delivered last Tuesday, that is was a
message delivered right. He spoke to
the point, and spoke it right. He told
what was the demand of the hour
and told it right.
The two big things surrounded in
the Presidents appeal was (1) the
prosecution of the war vigorously I'M
til it is won in behalf of an honorable
peace for this country as we'll as for
the people Of the countries we are
fighting: and (2) his desire to declare
war upon Austria Hungary and prob
ably Turkey and Bulgaria.
The vigor of his speech, the elo-
quence, unsurpassed in any of his
former utterances, stamp this partic-
ular message as perhaps the most
important State paper ever promul-
gated in behalf of humanity at any
period of world-history. It is mas
terly throughout, and its fairness
should appeal as much to the German
people everywhere as to Americans.
He seeks no advantage. All Presi-
dent Wilson wants or aims at is to
stamp out the dominance of Prussian
militarism, selfish autocracy and let
peace, justice, and democracy take
their places. Higher purpose than
this no man can have.
Of one thing the Kaiser may be
sure in scanning President Wilson's
message, it bears no camouflage in
any part of it.

A Parallel.

Compare the two utterances below
on the point of Americanism, anc
Judge for yourself which stands ths
highest in its ideals for love of coun.
try:
4. DIR. Manning, of Trinity Church
New York, on Thanksgiving Day.
"Some may think the present
: strange time in the history Of
our country for the people to be
engaged in thanksgiving" said
DR.. Manning, "but in the midst of
anxieties, the trials and the un-
known possibilities of this war
we have really the deepest
causes for thanksgiving. Amer
lea should be thankful for her
great crops because this year
they enable the nation to give
, help to others, to meet the needs
Of our Allies who for more than
three years, have been fighting
the battles of freedom, and be-
cause our eyes have been opened
to see with absolute clearness
our duty in this war, and because
we are HOW dDle 10 10 IOI OCu6T
nations what we did for ourselves
when we promulgated the De-
claration of Independence"
Rev. Marion J. Bradshaw in his
Palisade sermon:
There is put upon one deep
obligation to participate in the
group activity, to share the ma
TONS undertaking. And made
more specific, it means that there
are genuine obligations put upon +,
every American to support the
war in which our nation is in
volved. But it is only right to
add in passing, that the same
principle means, also, that the
German is bound just as Loyalty
to support his group-and all
honor to him if he has sacrificed
more, or thought more for his
group than has his opponent"
An adroit way Of aiding and adding
comfort to the enemy of America
Why the last sentence? It negatives
the preceding thought.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1917-12-08

that would indicate a surrender.
Torn with conflicting emotions, no
doubt, and still at heart Morris Hill
quit socialist (which is his privilege,
of course), he is holding on with abid-
ing faith to his glittering generalities,
because in them rest his only hope.
In effect he says: eff l can only mys-
tify them; if 1 can only keep them
guessing shall have accomplished
my purpose of inwardly mistrusting
America, while still preserving the in
tegrity of my political fortunes"
One of the interesting facts devel-
oped in the controversy with Rev.
Bradshaw, is his admission that he
submitted his recent sermon on "Group
Loyalty" to several college presidents
and ministers. His position thus be-
comes premeditated. He would write
sermon weeks ahead, shave the point
as closely as he dared, get away with
it if he could, and let it go at that.
But he let these outsiders know moth
ing of the cause of his congregation;
he told them nothing of the split
among the church members, but just
let the manuscript speak for itself,
as far as it's CLOSED over passages
would take him and it. SIS this sermon
lacking in patriotism ?" he asked.
Of course, college president, with
due Difference, would not want to
wound so scholarly minister and
without reading between the lines, the
real intent of the Palisade minister,
sent it back with Indifferent praise,
and seeing no evil in it. Two of the
critics, it is alleged, said it was "all
right but don't do it again." rather
questionable endorsement to be sure,
but better than nothing at all to one
begging the question. Indifferent fav-
orableness is better than cold turn
down, so there was no difficulty in the
minister feeling fortified to such an
extent that he finally delivered it and
brought down storm of protest.
There are some who feel that Mr..
Bradshaw is now trying to play the
part of martyr, position of isola-
tion that should at least bring him
some additional support where he was
without it before. But he is no mar
tyr. Far from it.
But there are yet many things he
can do to prove his loyalty. His in
definiteness kills his many little de-
tours into the realm of patriotic en-
deavor, and all these are given a
negative meaning by his despising
German autocracy in one breath and
Gliding -An,Arica in another.
The real truth is that sA;pg:dg IN a
sentence of so-called loyalty now and
again, then PR jug Germany .te F.
skies, is damffng this country with
faint praise. He really shows no
tender sentiment for America and
has not from the beginning. It'll
has been a long time since the coun-
try was on the right track, and judg-
ing him by his brutal address to chill
dren last Washington's Birthday, he
"bulks" very small compared with the
ideals of President Wilson's impas-
stoned thoughts on all that.this coun-
try represents in enlightened, progress
sive, inspired, democratic government.
