All Is Quiet But
Political Hunters Are
Ready For Season

The political pot is slowly simmer
ing over the slow flames of gossip
and rumors, but the real campaign
chefs have not started work on the
recipe to turn out savory dish.
The season for candidates con-
tinues closed, but the hunters for
campaign material are cleaning their
rifles and preparing for the big
game hunt. Scouts who have come
through the woods report signs of
tracks of candidates, but no sight of
them. They continue gun-shy and
publicity shy. Several splendid speci-
mems have been known to be at the
feeding grounds of Gree Space"
but all efforts to sight them has
proven unsuccessful.
However, the hunters of political
game are unusually pessimistic over
the possibilities of the seasons hunt.
Good game is scarce and particularly
shy, perhaps being frightened into
hiding by the heavy cannonading
across the Big Pond. And the great
inroads being made into sheltered
preserves by the agricultural inter-
ests has also had it's effect in driv-
ing the game high up into the COB
livion Mountains" the attractions of
the low feeding grounds having been
destroyed by the huge planting oper-
ations.
But the campaign cooks, knowing
the voracious appetites of the voters,
feel confident that the trusty hunters
of both parties will do their best to
fill the game bags, and have instruct
ed the hunters to use every effort to
bring home edible game. In the
meantime the faithful lieutenants are
keeping the fires going and hauling
water for the annual feast of Elec-
ton Day.

ed milk, cheese and wide variety of
articles could be produced in bulk.
1t might necessitate some storage on
the part of the firms undertaking the
movement, and those which have ia
cilities for cold storage could under
take a still wider range of activities,
including butter, eggs and poultry.
"My personal thought is that the
firms undertaking this work should
try out the plan on few staples,
such as potatoes, and if successful
results are secured, extend the opera
ton to as wide a field as may be
possible"
Commissioner Bryant cites case
where one firm three years ago be-
gan the plan of contracting in the
fall for a supply of coal for it's en-
ploves who had subscribed for their
individual supplies. The firm paid
cash for the coal, and it was dis
tributed during the winter by the
coal dealer. This has worked very
satisfactorily, the Commissioner says.

Englewood Field Club
Destroyed By Fire
With Loss SIS, 600

The Englewood Field Club house
on Engle street, Englewood, was al
most totally destroyed by fire shortly
before last Sunday midnight.
The fire was discovered at 1,.15 in
the east end of the second story. 1t
had a good Roadway and the larger
part of the second story was ablaze
when the firemen arrived.
The whole department was called
out and all did good work, the fire
men getting things under control and
having the fire practically out by II
o'clock.
The blaze was spectacular one, il
Illuminating the whole neighborhood
and drawing many hundreds to the
scene.
No one is known to have been in
the building at the time, as it was
closed at 6 o'clock, 1t is believed
the fire started in the billiard room,
but the real cause is unknown.
The entire second story with furn-
ishings was totally destroyed.

Unfortunately for Jack, his action
was noticed and the party ran in and
took the goods to the store. Moth

but that evening about 6.45 Jack fin
ished his days work and started for
his New York home He did not get
very far. He went over by the post
Office, looked back and all around,
then sneaked off north down the car
tracks to Bluff road, and walked di-
rectly to his cache in the grass, un-
conscious of the fact that he was at
that moment watched by man from
the store and a Palisadian man. Jack
was too keen-witted not to under
stand very quickly the situation
When he saw the goods had been re-
moved, he hurriedly ran out to the
road again, but he saw Mr.. Tonges,
from the store, and hanging his head,
met his accuser face to face.

During the talk it developed that
Jack was college man of N. Y. u.
At least he claimed to be. He was
very sorry. He lived with his mother
in 115th street, New York, and went
to college at night. He had never
worked before, and was his mothers
only dependence. His mother and
father had been separated for sew
eral years, and he just learned that
his father had taken sick and died in
Philadelphia yesterday. Jack had
all sorts of alibis on the stealing end
of his talk, and was just about the
most innocent chap one ever saw
But he could not conceal his ear
marks of badness, and committed
himself so many times that it would
not be wondered at if he had not led
a very unsavory life. Out of the
kindness of his heart, Mr.. William
Beckmann let him go. But that chap
looked very guilty, and was as slick
as a peeled onion.

Palisade Autos
Worth About 500, 900

There are at this time not less
than seventy-fve automobiles in Pail
SADIE: They will average, perhaps,
not less than $1,000 each, so that
their value must be in the neigh
borhood of from 100000 to 100000.
That is, their cost value. Their tax
value would not scale so high, be-
cause the selling price of used auto
mobiles is always much lower. Tt
might be that their selling value to-
day would be near $4,000, which is
rather good for town of this size
nerhaps 1000 population at this
time.

Citizens Club Ready
For Political Fights

The Citizens Club met last Mon
day night at Carney Hall and the
promised fireworks failed to material-
ize. However, the only decisive ac-
ton that was taken was the resolu-
ton of Mr. Lehsten that the club
take part in the coming political ac-
Invites. This action had apparently
been agreed upon previous to the
meeting. Other plans were, however,
laid aside or forgotten after several
lengthy discussions had been thor
oughly aired.
From all appearances and judg-
ing from the talk of the active heads
of the organization, it is planned to
put third ticket in the field for the
mayorality and perhaps for the two
council chairs that will be vacated.
But this was not definitely announced.
Mr.. Zabriskie suggested that the
Executive Committee get in touch
with the County Committeeman of
both parties with view to finding
suitable campaign material that
would meet with the approval of the
club. This step was not favored by
the majority, judging by the census
would really be decided at the pri-
maries.
To Endorse Candidates
Another plan was to endorse the
candidates who measured up to the
size set by the Citizens Club, but
this action would enroll the club as
a party ally and the balance of the
ticket might be below the set speci-
fications.
A Third Party
Mr.. Lehsten spoke at great length
on the possibility of the club making
a three cornered race of it by enter
ing another ticket. He showed that
as the club planned to get into poll
tics, it must use strenuous methods
to get results. The fact was men,
toned that should the club offer a
candidate on either ticket and were
defeated at the primaries, the can
didates would be eliminated as a
prospect, and under these circum-
stances it would be advisable to wait
until the primary fights were settled
and then enter the third ticket. Sew
eral other members spoke along these
lines, but no action was taken and
no names were mentioned.
Held Legal Test
The action of the Borough Council
in placing the advertising for bids on
fire apparatus in an out-of-town
paper was passed upon by an. attor-
ney for the club and it was found
that through small technicality no
action could be taken. 1t was also
proved that the members of the
Home Guard were empowered with
the authority of officers of the law
and could make arrests on grounds
of suspicion.
Kicks About OdOrs
Mr.. Schilling presented vigorous
protest against the odors eminating
from the Edgewater factories and
some time was spent discussing the
futility of curbing this obnoxious
nuisance. However, the correspond
ing-secretary was ordered to get
facts and data pertaining to the
legal fights waged against these in
dustries, but, as Mayor Cadian point
ed out, the possibilities of checking
them appeared almost impossible.
Protest Factory Building
The rumor that factory was to
be erected at Columbus avenue and
the car line brought forth several
angry protests and strenuous meth
DDS were threatened should the
rumor be found truthful.

They have all the pride of Shake

all the temperament of grand opera

possibly may be imagined. They
reckon their success upon the num-
Der of spectators that surround them
and the length of time they remain.

If there was one lesson of the Civil
War which we in this generation

was what was known as the Mcclellan
policy of most systematic unreadiness
always waiting until one more stitch
was taken, always waiting until we
could get little bit more carefully
prepared and organized; and delay in
that case, as you know, finally became
Well-nigh fatal. although il was IN

FRANK E. HOWE, Editor and Pub
Monday, May p 1917.
Mr.. eREENE,s VIEWS

!
Congressman Frank l.. Greene has
been gently criticised by The Banner
and other papers for voting against al
lowing Col. Roosevelt to 20 to France
with a volunteer army of 100000 men.
1t seems that Mr.. Greene spoke in the
House against permitting Roosevelt to
go, but it seems to The Banner that
v1ost of what he said there actually
showed the need Of permitting the eX-
petition.
This country should not make the
mistake it did in 1861 of sending for
ward great army until it is properly
trained and equipped The great
force OF volunteers and conscripts
now being assembled cannot be
properly differed before next spring,
to say nothing OF being drilled and
equipped 1t will be wrong to send
them abroad before that time.
1t will be remembered that at the
outbreak of the present war Great
Britain sent an expeditlonary force TO
France and Belgium. but that it was
ten months later before England could
put real army in the field 1t ought
to be manifest to congress and the
country that the United States is not
as we'll prepared 10 start great war
as was England in August 1914.
1t is clear that a few regiments OF
regular army can soon be sent to
France, perhaps at once--possibly
100000 men. or a little more. by using
the national guard and the early vol
unteers to take their places where
needed in this country TO this ex-
pediuonary force can be added the
Roosevelt army Of 10000 men Of
previous military training to show
American good faith This is all the
United States ought to undertake this
year. it is more than England was
able to accomplish at the start,
In tho meantime the new army OF Q |
million men can be trained and ofiic
cred and equipped and should be |
ready to so to Europe sometime next |
spring. To hurry them over there !
before they are ready would be

our contribution, to the cause OF the
Allies and our own country in the

resolves itself more into practical

Of the eighteenth century. differed
from Newtcns view that Providence
had so arranged matters as to make
collision of the earth with comet i'm

that il was only very improbable This
paper. which was to have been read
with others before the French academy
on certain day in 1913, got crowded
out, but the Partisan public hearing of
1t, made up its mind that Lalande had
predicted the impending destruction of
the earth. and such panic enSued that
the police had TO order the publication
OF the paper 10 reassure the public
mind. But even then it was popularity
