Let Us Haze No UndeserUed
SYnspathy for Enemies at Home

There must be no misunderstood
ing of the seriousness of the offence
charged against the three Columbia
students who were arrested this week
charged with conspiracy to prevent
the registration of men liable to mill
tary duty under the CONSUMPTION law.
They are all of full age, and knew
exactly what they were about when
they undertook to stab the country in
the back. They are legally and NOR
ally responsible for their acts, and
should be punished in g manner that
win serve as warming to all dis
loyal and traitorous persons.
When they participated in an en-
terprise to induce men to evade their
military duty they struck blow for
Germany against the country which
has sheltered and protected them.
Each of them sought to be as useful
to the Kaiser as any soldier he has
in the field. Their purpose was to
sup CIlC IdlSlIlS VI oil clAiy uHNtO1 cAS
method decreed by Congress, and were
they able to carry that purpose out
they would leave the sailors in our
destroyer flotilla to fight hopelessly
for our cause, and the men on mill
tary duty in this country to be muir
dered by cpies unavenged and unde-
Tended. By their conduct they invite
the German General Staff to invade
and subdue the United States, and
give earnest that Prussian expedi-
ton to conquer America will be aided
and assisted from within this country
to the full extent of their ability.
Before we can give undivided at
tention to the enemy that has de-
stroyed our ships and murdered our
citizens we must clear our house of
traitors. Let the work be done thor
oughly and expeditiously.- N. Y.

In Behalf OF The People.

Mayor Whites recent uncalled for
attack against the "Palisadian" and
its editor has now called from us two
rejoinders, but not line or syllable
from His Honor to either of them.
Can it be that his organ, the erudite
Sentinel no longer feels it incumbent
to answer the sweeping arraignment,
or is it's noble editor holding US too
cheaply to dignity US with a con-
troversy? Fortunately, the issues
brought up bythe mRalisadiahR are
in behalf - ave
no referen or
other feeling against Mayor White,
or any member of his administra-
ton. We have presented facts that
speak for themselves. There is the
Give Per Cent Engineer de-
MED, and couldn't be in face Of the
actual facts that are NOT ANSWER
ABLE. There is the Sanford Ross prop
erty, also, assessed away down be-
low it's admitted value, the owners
wanting the sum of 100000 for it
as a special offering" to the Inter
state Park Commissioners, and which
is now taxed at $4,000, having been
beaten down by smart lawyers be-
fore the County Board from $4,000,
and on which the borough did not
have lawyer of it's own to defend
it's assessment before that august
body. The $4,000 is the borough's
own assessment, mind you. In COM
mon with the Allison Land Company
assessment, heavy acreage holders
are outrageously favored at the ex-
pense of the home owner. AS the
"Palisadian"s pointed out last week,
these DEFICIENCIES in assessed valua-
ton would tend to GREATLY reduce
taxation on homes in the borough. In
addition to the logical increase in
business enterprises, notably the
growing moving picture plants
there is really little or no excuse for
eiiC CASCColNC tdACS IIldt have pre-
vailed in the borough for the past
three years. The public is gradually
awakening to this fact, also, and is
asking for hearing of it's own. 1t
is going to come next fall. There
will be another election then for an
other administration to run things.
Let all hope it will be so far better
than the one that has messed things
these three and a half years, that
people will wonder why it was
not all done sooner.
In the meantime, as between an at
torney who plays Poobah for the
borough, and Poobah for the Dor
ough's heaviest land owners, we are
at skies and sevens trying to I'M
ravel a very ugly tangle. We know
who is responsible, but who is the
culprit?

War With A NelD Motive.

President Wilson's ideal of Amer
lea at war, as expressed at Airing
ton on Memorial Day, was that we
are enlisted not selfshly for national
honor and rights alone but for a
wider and more generous assertion
upon the battle-fields of the world OF
the cause of human liberty.
Such a conception of national and
governmental obligation will not be
grasped at once even by all Ameri-
cans, and among the ruling classes OF
Germany, if understood at all, it will
be rejected as fantastic. Yet it ex-
presses the difference between a peo-
pie going to war for universal prin-
ciple on behalf of humanity and one
devoted solely to ambitious ends and
pursuing them without regard to
reason or justice. Mr. Wilson glori-
fies war of sacrifice and service
The war spirit that Prussianism ex
ats is altogether sordid, for its in
spiration is greed and aggression.
1t requires no gift of prophecy to
see that if the human race is to con-
tinue its advancement the principles
of Arlington rather than those of
Potsdam must prevail. Nations as
well as individuals must have regard
for each other. The ruler no less than
the ruled must recognize duties of
good neighborhood which are more
than parochial. Governments them
selves must be governed not by the
caprice of men but by law.
Idealism of this kind is always
wholesome, and as result of it, when
expressed by true interpreters of
progress, each succeeding generation
finds itself nearer the reality. The
Presidents words were of war, but
his vision was of peace based upon
liberty and good faith throughout the
world AS such it will sustain many
an army on the fiery path of victory,
and in it tyranny and wrong will see
the forerunner of their certain doom.

Grant And Lee.

Up at the war department in Wash
ington the other day conference Of
officers was being held to consider ar
engineering project in connection with
our preparations for war.
Side by side in the meeting sat
Maj U. S. Grant and Capt. Robert
E. Lee.
Heads bent close together, they
studied the complicated blue print
plans of the project, occasionally
making comments or suggestions.
The tenor of conversation showed
that warm personal friendship ex-
listed between the two men-some-
thing stronger than the ordinary
courtesy exchanged between army
officers.
And who are the men who bear
these familiar neams? They are
grandsons of the men who led the
Union and Confederate armies in
deadly conflict more than half CEN
fury ago.
And both are running true to the
form of the family. Both belong to
the engineering corps of the United
States army. Both have been under
fire, both are masters of their branch
of the profession of arms.
But, better than all else, the grand
sons of Grant and Lee are bully
good chums, ready to fight and die
for common country.-Jackson,

Great Task of France.

The position of France in the Euro
pean war is far more important
than the world at large has been able
to understand.
The general impression has pre-
vailed that France was not really
prepared to enter the war, and that
events leading to it's final consuma-
ton were SO rapidly forced that she
was only half ready when Germany
fired her first shot.
The opposite is true.
Not only was France ready on the

The Stacker.

1t is going to be difficult to account
for all the motives behind the men
who fail to register next Tuesday
Men are peculiar animals, and they
love life. The one thing that will
urge any man not to register is the
fear of service, and in military serv-
ice in war time turks the universal
dread of death.
But in serving ones country all
fear is banished by the truly brave.
There is an old legend among
soldiers that the best and most valor-
Gus in the ranks are men who were
regarded as timid and unaggressive
in civic life. There appears to be
some basis for this conclusion. The
failure of the volunteers system is
the one big proof behind the selec-
tive draft necessity. Men simply fear
to enlist; and while conditions might
come to stage where self-defense
reached the acute stage; where actual
invasion was either threatened or in
progress; tlsar thehe would md. longer
be q holding back, but glad rush to
arms and willingness to face every
danger to beat back the foe.
Whatever hestancy may at this
time be shown about enlisting, it will
last only until necessity becomes
more CALLING. Then men will fall over
each other in their eagenress to
serve.
