The Fort Lee Riot.

One does not have to do much
guessing at public sentiment over the
moving picture riot at Fort Lee
studio last Monday night. The movie
industry is now large asset in the
borough, but there is no necessity
for allowing such scenes as were en-
acted this week. Either the movie
people should try to conduct
their business in an orderly manner
or they should be made to do so. 1t
may be difficult to control thousand
picked up people from New York. II
doubtless is. The movie people have
had loads of experience, and should
themselves provide protection against
rioting and bad conduct generally
And when they don't the borough au-
thorities should make them know the
meaning of law and order by refus.
ing to allow the importation of rough
necks in cargo or regimental lots. II
is lovely name the borough will soor
be getting, for this is not the first
moving picture disturbance in Fort
Lee by long shot.

A "COsnaic Goat. I"

Chicago has developed many SEN
sational things and people. Also she
tolerates much, including it's Mayor
Thompson. But Of all the social
graces, or nymphs, or moral faddists,
or just pure, unadulterated cranks,
Margaret McIvor-Tyndall takes the
supreme prize. Margaret was for
merly the wife of DR.. Alexander j.
McIvor-Tyndall, propaganda of
the New Thought cult. At present
this social bomb is living with her
late (meaning former) husband and
his new wife in Chicago. Of course
she has been the cause of much critic
ism, and styling herself the "cosmic
goat" she recently spoke to the press
in part as follows:
/ am surprised to find that my
attitude toward my former hus-
bands marriage to Miss Laura
HudsC4y is .almosl general w. cyfti-
cized by my friends.
Well, all j can say is that So
ciety, as it is now constituted,
ought to be disorganized. 1t will
be, because it is built upon hypoc-
risy, deceit and self-deception.
My refusal to brand as Sim
moral" the woman who has taken
my husband from me, my deci-
sion to retain tie friendship which
was the foundation of my asso-
citation with DIR. McIvor-Tyndall
for twelve years, is unusual only
because the average human being
is undeveloped, selfish and lack
ing in anything like a normal
and sane outlook upon life.
There are times when slang is
more expressive than elegant, and
sometimes necessary. And in these
moments everybody wants it except
purist from Boston. One of these
forms appears to fit the case of
Margaret-she has bad case-acute,
perhaps-of "bats in her belfrey.' u
forgiveness" says she, sis my
middle name" (she's up to date
anyhow, and while she thus patron
izingly throws boquets at herself,
she seeks no inward unrest by such a
minor consideration as Analysing her
presence in the home nest of her for
mer husband and his new partner in
bliss.
What Margaret really needs is a
commanding appreciation of self
respect, following the realization she
must now have that another woman
has put her nose out of joint. If
"New Thought" can make person
as many different kinds of a pumpkin
as it has this Chicago deciple, it
ought to make rapid progress. Also,
Margaret needs to pinch herself, she
is dead asleep.

The great feeling for independence
Day in America will take on new
and added interest this year of our
Lord. Heretofore it has been a day
of rejoicing and pleasure-taking. No
day in the annals of the United
States has as many hallowed
memories as July A, and around it
have conferred the highest and most
eloquent thought of the brainy men
and women of the country. Human
ingenuity has conjured up all of its
best deliverances for our Fourth of
July celebrations that have come to
make all Americans proud of their
country. All nations have their natal
days, but in its great moral effect
upon the world at large, our July A
has done more than it's share in dis
seminating to the world the prin-
ciples of liberty and democratic gov
eminent. The thought behind the
American Independence Day has
standardized our ideals before all hui
manity, until to-day our great Re-
public has become the greatest of all
nations, and also the richest, most
powerful and most progressive. Upon
the standards set up in our Declare.
ton iaye been built all the hopes of
other great peoples. AS America
has proven the value of Republican
government, so France and England
have seen the light and set up their
own similar forms of rulership that
make the Republican plan the bull
wark of the people. They know that
where the people rule truth and lib
erty triumph. And so America stand
ing sponsor for the world has pro-
claimed each year the principles of
freedom until her example has be-
come the most Illuminating mark in

The Whole Truth AIloays.


The local newspapers are gradually
coming into their true recognition as
mediums of truthful news as the
events of the past few weeks prove
SO conclusively. Although published
but once a week, the "Palisadian" car
ries the most news in each issue, and
that news truthfully and accurately
written. No garbled statements
catering or press agenting for a fav-
ored few, but impartially recording
the events exactly as they occur.
A recent example in the story of a
recent Cliffside Park Council meeting.
A misunderstanding led to breach
in which several verbal bombshells
were exploded. The local news
papers were the only papers to carry
the true story, unbiased and uncol-
ored. Those outside butchered it.
And this leads up to the ques-
ton of local patronage. A news
paper, printed somewhere in Hudson
county, has attempted to create the
impression that it covers local news.
BY the methods that has brought this
paper in question into disrepute in
its home territory, it is attempting to
weld some influence with the Board
of Council, but fortunately the men,
bers of the council, seeing the havoc
wrought in other communities by this
paper, are not being easily misfed.
The people of the community also
have their eyes open and for accurate
news they turn to the local papers.
Experience has proven the best
teacher. We welcomed the strang-
ers to our gates and regret their
leaving US, but East Bergen demands
news and accurate news tfuthfully
told.

DOuUn With DisIOyalty.

Digging right down to the core Of
things, America is fast waking up tt
the full realization of what the wal
means in the broader sense. True
mothers have not yet put on mourn
ing for their sons, because the time
of preparation has not yet arrived
The hour cannot be approached with
out the long grind of getting ready
We were too busy watching the wal
from afar to think of a great dea
of preparation, yet there doubtless
was much more being done in antici
patton than the general public knew
The Plattsburg camp of 1916 was the
government broadcast hint, yet that
preparation has been scarcely notec
by the critics. But it could scarcely
have been broader.
And so the passing of the months
of this year has found our country
not gradually approaching the prepa-
ration period, but actively engaged in
the making-ready time. The move
ment has already arrived and each
week sees transports leaving for
France laden with our men-the pick
and flower of the nations youth.
No one knows what the result is
to be, but every loyal American be-
heves he will win. Only the disloyal
whelps who are a disgrace to our
citizenship are inwardly (and out
wardly as far as they dare) hoping
we shall lose. These aliens who
have come to make America their
home must sooner or later realize
that they cannot serve two masters.
Only when they are brought up
sharply and rounded to will they
realize the Importance of being loyal.
But this day will come, for the pa
thence of generous government will
after while tire of these things and
end them with prison bars where the
malcontents may batter their brains
out wondering about the true mean
ing of American liberty and the
meaning of American citizenship.

Palisades Red Cross Work.

The work of the Palisade Red Cross
stands as one of the proudest rec
ords made by any New Jersey vii
lagos of equal size. With popula-
ton of almost 1000 souls, the sum
of $1,000 was raised in the week al
lotted. Everybody worked with a
will and a zeal most commendable.
Twelve hundred dollars does not
sound big, but it will go long way
towards aiding the sick and wounded
at the war front. The women and the
men who so CALAMITY pushed through
this notable work are to be congratu-
lated upon their unfaltering courage
in making such sum possible as was
collected. It is as much as many
places ten times as large as Palisade
contributed, which proves that we
have both a prosperous and liberal
community.

UniDersaI Training Urgent.


1t has SO long looked unnecessary
to the average American to prepare
national defensive system as pro-
lection against war, that the thought
of war for US became entirely
foreign to our very natures. We
didn't let the thought possess us
long enough for it to take root in
any form.
And for the first two years of the
great European war we were still
callous to our own necessities, hoping
all the time against hope that we
would not be drawn into it's vortex.
Then suddenly, early this year, we
appeared to wake up at last, and be-
fore we knew it we were in the thick
of it.
In the Encyclopedia Britannica the
Franco Prussian WAR is treated. 1t
says that Germany during the entire
war lost in dead $4,000 and France
$4,000 (more than five to one).
Why? The German soldiers were
highly trained, ably differed and
skillfully led; while the French
troops were poorly trained and badly
handled. The French war depart
ment at that time was saturated with
politics and jealousy; cooperation
and teamwork were lacking, so
France paid the price. She surrend-
cred two splendid provinces to her
conqueror, paid an indemnity of a
billion dollars, and suffered crush
ing national humiliation.
| When that conflict was over France
walked up. She put into play two
factors for her future salvation
UNIVERSAL TRAINING, and she
PUT POLITICS OUT
To-day the French army is the
surprise and admiration of the world.
With an efficient general staff, and
political, bureaucratic stupidity out
of the way, the management of the
armies of France has become the
wonder of the world.
There are things done by France
we must do in America. We must
enlarge the general staff of the army
and navy, where only the most ex-
pert advice and counsel should pre-
vail
Next, we shall have to adopt in
some form system of universal
training that will make the young
men of the nation physically fit, so
that when they are nineteen they
will be as hard as nails, joy unto
themselves and the finest insurance
for peace we could find.
Just the first moment possible
after the selective draft has been
put into motion, we should begin our
universal training system. Perhaps
there is no better plan than to let it
operate in all of the schools of every
type and character. But it must be
compulsory.
f. W4llh1efr this is done, there viii be
another self-wrought factor intro
duced. 1t will regenerate American
manhood. Then, while we shall not
have reached perfect idealism, we will
have sown the seeds for a still
greater democracy, when the sons of
rich and poor alike wear the same
uniform, and stand in the ranks
shoulder to shoulder together for
America, the land we love.

that is to blame.
