A GOOD MAN GONE.

The death of A. A. Hopkins of the
neighboring village of GrantwOod re-
moves a man of great yet modest
worth from the community. Mr.. Hop
kins was man who fulfilled all of the
demands of citizenship and who was
always willing helper in all works
that tended to uplift the moral and re-
ligious side of his community. More
over he was unobtrusively good man,
wide awake to the better impressions
of life, and his own life was an express
sion as he daily lived it of what a
man should be. Mr.. Hopkins was past
seventy-four, yet he had remained IN
the harness of an active career up to
the very last days of a short illness.
OF his purposes, his high aims and his
noble endeavors in behalf of truth and
light and clean living, the best evil
dences of which he represented are
scattered all along the roadway OF his
life. Wherever he has lived and work
ed he scattered good deeds and sun
shine, and he made no enemies. He
typified mans loftiest ideals always
and carried to. his grave as tenet OF
a faith that was holy the spirit of a
man who minded his -own business,
helping others all he could.

STOLEN FRUIT is SWEETEST.

The case of man has come to our
attention who is undertaking to pun
ish a boy under ten for poaching upon
IA small arbor of grapes left upon his
premises without caretaker while the
family were all away the past summer
and early autumn. This is infringing
upon the rights of boyhood Further
more, it is striking at one of the recog-
nized traditions of childhood that must
be respected.
In the present case the youngster
with others saw the luscious punches
of purple fruit dangling as tempting
bait for the ever gnawing childish ap-
petite and helped himself. Stolen
fruit is sweetest" is an old song which
the most of us have sung. So how
ridiculous to go off and hire an impos-
ing lawyer and have him threaten dire
vengeance against the little fellows
parents, demanding reparation, pun
ishment or indemnity for the "crime"
of poaching upon the absent mans
preserves. Really, it is petty thing
to do. We have just read in the inti-
mate life of General John J. Pershing
that one of his early failings was to

BLUFF ROAD.

Following the great stir that has
been made over the turning of Bluff
road in Palisade into a state highway
there is some consolation in the fact
that at least another winter will pass
before any attempt at construction
will be attempted. The present road
ways will suffice for war purposes for
the. present, SO Washington has de-
cided
If the war should end before next
year there may be opportunity to
come to some understanding with
those who have shown very decided
feeling against Palisade in their in
sistence of using Bluff road when half
a dozen other different and equally
good routes might be chosen. On the
theory that it never pays to try to
cross bridge till one gets to it per-
haps we may yet escape this injury to
Palisades. Let us hope so at any rate.

The Socialist party may well be

THE OUTLOOK FINE.

Following the collapse of the Aus
trian peace drive the Germans have
been given several kinds of an an
swer to the gratuitous offer. President
Wilson snapped back a sharp 48-word
no. Then an additional $1,000, ,OOO, 600
was asked for the army and given.
Then General Foch concluded more
hammering advances on the central
and north portions of the long western
battle lna.Mitlf- adnaiiraa's33ll
everywhere. The Americans have
parried all come-backs from the st.
Mihiel salient front and have gained
minor forward steps from their first
hating lines before the bulwark forts
of Metz, the strongest fortified city in
Europe, it is said.
The general status of the allied
armies on the western front is splen-
did, judging by the best war expert
testimony everywhere. And, while the
Germans still fight on and are vet a
tremendous force to contend with, the
hopes of terminating the great world
conflict grows brighter as the days go
by.
One noticeable thing the Germans
have promised does not show itself: :
The great war surprises their prOpa-
ganda has so many times promised.
The failure of their U boat warfare is
recognized. 1t has neither starved
England nor stopped American troops
going to France. The cause of the al
lies is fine
Palisadian., 1918-09-28
We Were the First.

We were the first to point out the
only way home for the American army
ii. e., through the gates of Potsdam
Palace. We were the first to denounce
Lenine and Trotzky as German agents
and to show the absurd weakness of
the Socialist party principles when put
into action. We were the first to
show the necessity of opening up the
land to our soldiers when they return
by taxing all land values and thus
forcing idle land into use, not by ex-
pending vast sums of public money on
worthless swamp or arid areas, but by
actually increasing the public income
while bringing valuable IDLE land
into immediate cultivation. Look at
the contents of any newspaper pub
lished in the neighborhood and see if
you can find any one of these vitality
important questions mentioned or even
limited at.

LET HIM LIVE.

The following poem was found in Il
Christmas packet sent to an Ohio sol
dier and was from a Lancaster CO..
girl. 1t has been widely copied in all
parts of the country:
AS long as the flowers their perfume give,
So long I'd let the Kaiser live,
Live and live for million years
With nothing to drink but Belgian tears;
With nothing to quench his awful thirst
But the salted brine of Scotchman's
curse.
would let him live on a dinner each day
Served from silver on golden tray,
Served with things both dainty and sweet,
Served with everything-but things to eat
would make him bed of silken sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and filets of lace
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when to it's comfort he would yield
1t would stink with the rot of the battle
field,
And blood and brains and bones of men
Should cover him, smother him, and then
His pillow should cling with the rotten
claw
Clay from the grave of soldier boy,
And while Gods stars their vigils keep
And while the waves the white sands
sweep
He should never. never sleep.

LINE LIGHTERS.

There are always men who have
the habit of getting in the limelight.
They can't help it. Based on personal
vanity for the most part. the habit
finally becomes disease. After
awhile 1t becomes incurable.
There are, of course, various types
of the limelighter. Sometimes he af-
fects to wonder why he gets into the
glare, because he poses as the most
modest Of men. Like "Saml of Po-
sen,' who sold goods as a travelling
drummer and never performed tricks,
he .iss der mOsdt innocendt man on
der roadt." The posing limelighter is
hard to catch up with. He gives the
public chase for it's money, and the
more innocent the cause the more
certain he is to bob up serenely and
make people wonder how he does it.
Another specimen of the limelighter
is the tricky politician, whose solemn
face and deceit keep the world guess
ing. The more meanness he pulls, the
more sure he is to come back with
some plausible performance that is as
hollow as his head.
Yet the public falls, somehow, for
the limelighter. 1t can't get away
from him, and so it swallows the bait
he offers, hook, bob and sinker. There
is no way to dodge this human pest.
The more he is throttled the more he
squawks. Looked at from the view
point of intelligent analysis, the lime
lighter is necessary evil, perhaps,
and has his uses. He allows intelli-
gent men to gaze upon him and feel
that he could be useful citizen if he
were not Such a -- fool

WHAT THE LIBERTY LOAN HAS
BOUGHT FOR THE ARMY.

From the beginning of the war to
June 30, 1918, the last day of the past
fiscal year, contracts were placed by
the Ordnance department of the United
States totalling $4,300,OOO,0O0. The
estimate for the current year is over
$7,OOO,0OO,O The major items of
last year were as follows:
Artillery, $1,050,O0O,000; automatic
rifles, $3OO000,O0O; small arms, $780,
100000; artillery ammunition, $1,000
100000; small arms ammunition, $780,
100000; small arms ammunition (prac
tice), $S0,OO0,OO0; stores and supplies
(personal horse and OrganiZation), J,
$3.50, 100000; armored motor cars,
$100, 100000; total, $4,100,OOO,O0O.
Some other expenditures by the War
department were S375,0OO,OOO for en-
gineering operations, mostly in France !;
S37,OOO,OOO for -four, $145,OO0,OOO for
sugar, $43, 100000 for bacon, $12,OOO,-
600 for beans, $9,OOO,OO for tomatoes,
$2,OO0O0O for rice, $47, 100000 for roll
ing kitchens $127,00O,OO0 for shoes,
$685., 900, 900 for clothing; for blankets,
$147, 100000.
Some smaller expenditures were
over $6,OO0,OOO for axes, 81, ,635, 900 for
field stores, $2,7OO,OOO for carpenter
and 1921, 100000 for blacksmith tools,
$2,5OOO0O for shovels.
The department has bought 100000
wagons and carts, costing $37 100000; !;
and 100000 horses and mules, costing
$99,OOO,O0O; food for them cost &c.,
100000, and harness $29,OOO,OOO
These are only some of the figures.
They seem large, but not so large
when it is remembered that we have
nearly 100000 men in France and al
most as many in training here at
home. All of this money and all the
other money raised by the Liberty
loans goes to make our Army, our
Navy, and our people powerful and
victorious in their war for freedom

Thoughts Of Today
An Intercoastai Canal.

Well, the New York newspapers are
beginning to awaken to the impOr-
tance of the intracoastal canal.
The Globe of the Goth Of September
states that "a series Of sea lexel ca;
nails paralleling the Atlantic coast
holds more interest for New York city
than any other community to. be sbenef
fitted by the project" Read the editd-
rial and you will see repeated that
which this column has urged for more
than two years.
But the editor does not yet see far
enough. He does not complete the cir
Gle. New York, Albany, Buffalo, Alton,
New Orleans, Cedar Keys, st. Angus
tine, Norfolk and back to New York.
1t takes Palisadian readers to be fore
sighted. Mere New York newspapers
have limited vision, and they only
print things after they happen. The
Palisadian prints news long in ad-
vance.

OUR PRESIDENT.

President Wilson has proven tire
less worker for the American people.
Because of the great growth of the
nation, his responsibilities must now
be tremendous, far beyond the ken of
the average man or his conception.
For many months at a time Mr. Will
son is never seen in public. He rarely
makes speech, and of late his state
papers have been few and far be-
tween He has braved the swaying
thousands of a New York crowd but
few times since he has been in Office.
If he were to come into Gotham to-
morrow he would be acclaimed with
eager and perhaps frantic fury by
multitudes. Fortunately, there is no
cause for the Presidents showing him
self at this time His bearing has
been most commendable. With the
great weight of world responsibilities
resting upon him, he has moved eau
tiOusly and with modest decorum. He
has proved that he knows how to be cir
cumspent and faithful as well. There
is no need to laud him into great
ness. His entire attitude, his poise,
which is remarkable; his patience, his
alertness, his force, his forbearance,
his ability to withstand the shock of
sharp criticism are all most admirable.
1t takes a keen wit to unseat Wood
row Wilson, and of him it may be
said that his hard head is of figurative
adamant, once he sets it to stand for
a principle The enemies he has made
all recognize in him foeman worthy
of any mans steel.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

of our country at war who would un-

large indeed, and 1t is large; but it Is

That the people will subscribe lib
