The situation cleared up, the Board of
Education saw the light, and the
members publicly pledged themselves
to an entirely different course for the
future. The public will be asked to
come in and confer on all educational
issues, so that everything will here
after be done in the open.
It may safely be said, therefore,
that David Arthur Carson's meeting
of protest has resulted in one Of the
greatest benefits ever obtained for
the public. 1t need not be said that
the present board has done more than
follow precedent. The system has
long been in vogue, but is now hap
PLY cast aside for more progressive
measures. The happy result of the
controversy is source of congratu-
lation to all parties concerned, and
those partisans of the old system
will not again find excuse for bolster
ing up in the public prints an institu-
ton long since deserving the discard.
Now let everyone concentrate on

come; let it be a good one.

Adopt the pace of Nature; her
secret is patience.-EmersOn
Minute Men McCIaUe.

The announcement that Major S.
Wood McClave and his five sons were
all ready to- take up arms in behalf
Of the American government need
cause no surprise. Descending from
old Revolutionary fighting stock,
Major McClave has not forgotten his
heritage, nor will he fail to give a
good account of himself should it be
necessary for him and his fine array
of family talent to enter army serv-
ice now. If it comes to clash, the
spirit everybody should want to show
is the McClave ideals-jump in at
the very instant of starting. That is
the true hope of patriotism, and in
dicates the loftiest principles of
courage.
1t is certainly sure that the Nc
Claves do not desire the throwing
of bouquets for their immediate
espousal of the American cause. But
candor compels acknowledgment of
their fine offer. AS an example it is
one every family should be willing to
follow.
All honor to the six McClaves.
May the clan never grow smaller!

in appreciate quantities on fourteen
days in January. The wind was not
particularly freakish, though on two
days there was velocity registered
of 60 miles an hour, and on one day,
&c miles. The mean average wind

ing considerable shutting of wind cur
rents, the total movement being H.

wind velocity for January recorded
since 1871 was January 3, 1918,
when it blew sc miles from the sw.
There were seven clear days,

cloudy days for January since 1871
being twelve; partly cloudy, eleven;
clear, eight.
The total snowfall was 1.8 inches

The Bible.

One hears the modern preacher
discourse on religious topics from
time to time and wonders what it is
all about-these departures from the
old accepted orthodox ideals of faith
They have come long ago to dis
putatious viewpoint on many old con-
structions of the Bible, and dispens-
ers of Biblical topics do not hesitate
to speak of the antiquated ideas that
formerly prevailed as now entirely
out of date. The world has made
progress in Science and thought, and
the Bible, taken as strange and in
congruous form of ecclesiastical his
tory, has been torn asunder to such
an extent that the various transla-
lions and interpretations of the Word
of God is now in many places not
easily recognizable as the basis of the
religion of our fathers.
Theorizing about the Bible was al
ways more or less questionable
performance. Of course, transla-
tions are varying, but in the main,
the real sense of the original version
has not been materially changed. 1t
is in the Interpretation of the mean
ings of the Good Book in specific
spots that has brought science into
play in treating Bible lore and all
of it's depths and understanding. The
so-called contradictions of the Bible
are what has made men bold in giving
it a different standing before the
theological world.
There is this to say concerning all
of the theories that have come for
ward about this or that in the Bible:
All that has been deduced is a matter
OF uncertainty, to an extent. What
has been evolved is merely in places
more logical, but it is not necessarily
more true. There are those who very
rightfully refuse to believe that the
Bible can have two meanings that
are not explainable. Whatever of
doubt there may be in instances, these
may be cast aside partly in clear
acknowledgement of the larger truths
that even the acute analysis brings
on issues about which there may be
differences of opinion but not of fact.
After all, differences in the Bible
really cannot alter the divine origin
of the book, and all of this modern
day delving into science for new
truths is really of little account, when
one considers all that the Bible has
done for humanity untouched in its
own original presentation. What use
the Bible Contender makes of his So
called discoveries is negative, so far
as it relates to the great principles
of truth that were already there, and
which no fallacy of translation can
ever take away.

The Old Lady's Last Word.

Like an old woman having the last
word, The Sentinel took it's final fling
at the County Tax Board last Satur
day. The members of the board 1.-TWO
of them, count themD had stated that
while yielding on technical basis
the contention made by the Fort Lee
administration that the Borough
Club assessments were illegal, they
intended to look further into the
merits of the case. They used some
pretty straight talk, also, which, no
doubt, was the cause of the come
back from the Sentinel.
The cry may be made until Dooms-
day that the Borough Clubs list of
corrected and equalized assessments
was illegal, and therefore wrong,
but that would never make it true.
The Sentnel's editor knows better
than he asserts in this connection.
He knows that any assessment may
be corrected AFTER the tax rate has
been made. If this were not true,
what would be the sense in protest
ing any assessment at any time ?
How could anything be protested ex-
cept AFTER the rate had been fixed :?
How would the amount be known on
which to predicate protest? The
very nature of the matter shows the
utter idiocy of the contention.
The technical reason for throw
ing out the appeal made against the
Fort Lee assessments was due alto
gether to the fact that the Borough
Club was not legal taxpayer, though
members of the organization were.
If members who were taxpayers had
signed the appeal, it would have been
'1egal," and the administration would
not have had leg to stand on. 1t
is dollars to doughnuts that the APP
peal would have been declared regu-
lar in every way. As before stated,
these axe-grinders may really felici-
tate themselves upon having turned
out good job of flim-fam as usual.
But as the taxpayers at large are the
sufferers, and as the friends" Of the
administration were the beneficiaries,
it will have to go at that. Even the
Allison property's lowered assess
ment stands.

Wilson'S Real Greatness.

1t isn't going to do any good to
keep praising Woodrow Wilson for his
mastery handling of American in
terests in the European embroglio.
The fact that he has done it in a
manner to force worlds admiration
is enough.
Comparisons have been made with
Jefferson, Lincoln and other great
Americans, but none of these faced
so grave crisis as the present.
With world looking on; with OPP
posing parties crying aloud against
him; with the jingoists forcing the
real war party into greater promi-
nence; with the pacifists urging eau
ton, and thousand obstacles placed
in his way to fret and annoy, it is
truly wonderful that our loved Presi-
dent has been able to keep his head
at all.
Yet above all of the home made din
and clatter and the echoing battles
of Europe ringing in his ears, he has
risen high above all clamor and at
last lifted his voice in the name of
America and humanity. It was a
deeply solemn and impressive occa-
sion when one week ago President
Wilson appeared in Congress and de-
livered his memorable Grafton that
severed the ties between Germany
and the United States. There was
deadly silence when his words rang
out clear and precise over that
hushed assembly. And at it's end
there came no exhultant shout of APP
plause but the just and appropriate
handicap of approval from nations
heart represented in the peoples
spokesman.
Then whole, nation responded!
Partisanship melted away into a
pralanx of support from countrymen
of every faith and creed. And again
no exultant cry of "On to victory!"
The American people have simply
settled down to an appreciation of
conditions as they exist, content to
follow the leadership of a great and
good man whose conscience is clear,
whose purpose is lofty, whose spirit
is proud.
If the deep meaning in these cir
cumstances does not attach the pro-
foundest respect and consideration
for Woodrow Wilson, then those who
oppose his wisdom and leadership
now are common traitors and should
be measured as such--trampled upon
as such.
1t is not alone that the American
people should be thankful for great
man like Woodrow Wilson to lead
them; the whole world is looking in
our direction, for his luminosity is
shining throughout every land, and
his statue rises above the undulating
plains of humanity like huge noun
tain in the desert!

"The way in which the country has

vice has been one of the most sur

of the present movement for prepared
ness. When the various speakers for
the National Security league came to-
gether to discuss results, almost with
oft exception they stated that the
mere tentative mention of universal
service to their audiences throughout
the country brought immediate and
enthusiastic applause. Evidently the
American people are ready for this
