Gasoline Day A Loyalty Day

The first Of the motorless Sundays
passed off in this section with a small
percentage of violations of the spirit
of the order. Anderson avenue enjoy
ed day of rest, the first for many
years, and the residents felt like they
had been transported into a new
realm. 1t was return to the old days
of quiet and the real feeling of SUM-
day.
It would be a safe estimate to ray
that not over five per cent, perhaps
even less, Of the usual number of cars
were out. There must have been an
average of thirty of forty cars per
hour for six or seven hours of the
day, whereas on ordinary Sundays
there have been that many per min
ute.
Anderson avenue is the densest
automobile traffic roadway in the en-
tire State of New Jersey, so that it
was doing pretty well to see so large
number of car owners jump i'm
mediately into the heart of the fuel
conservation order. Those who dared
to bring out their cars must surely
have been i'll at ease, for when they
were not jeered at they saw their
numbers were being taken, which
made them uncomfortable in mere
wonder as to why they were being
recorded.
Taken as a whole the effort at saw
ing gasolene was highly commend
able, and America may congratulate
herself at the general feeling Of
loyalty that Enthusiastically prevails
throughout the land.

Pushing On To Peace

eTy = xance 81 mile made 4
the americans on the Western front
trings us that much nearer to peace
"a real permanent peace, that can
be secured only by victory.
Every letter referring to the
Americans that is found on German
prisoners or taken from German
wounded, tells how the morale of the
German army has been affected by
the dash displayed by our troops from
the United States. The feeling in the
ranks Of the enemy brings peace
nearer.
Every utterance of German news
papers since the counter attack of the
Allies was begun, discloses whole
communities in condition of des-
pair, disillusioned and sullenly re-
sentful- Pressure from those homes
beyond the Rhine is being exerted on
behalf Of peace.
Every man who will be available
for active service under the new
Draft Law is a promise of more
speedy peace.
Finally, every dollar that we lend
to our Government hastens the day
when Germany's rulers as we'll as
the populace of Germany will recog-
nize the futility of fighting against
the Allies whose latest member is
cheerfully giving the whole Of her
manhood, and is prepared to lend the
last dollar of her wealth.
Within a few weeks a Fourth
Liberty Loan will be offered. We must
subscribe to the utmost Of our abil-
ity. If we have to make serious
sacrifices, we must make them. The
record Of our soldiers at the front
who are pushing forward to peace
urges us to record in the campaign
in which we must participate at home.
The needs of this new grand army
that has been called to go overseas
that peace may come to us sooner,
compels US to unwonted liberality.
Hold the fact ever in mind: the
more we do for the Fourth Liberty
Loan, the quicker will the world be
relieved of this nightmare Of devas.
tation and restored to the blessed
condition Of stable peace.

The only criticism we can offer in
regard to the one-piece bathing suit
for women is that when a well-built
girl is wearing one, and is wet, why
wear it at air?
Some men are used to working that
if they take a vacation they spend
it standing around the shop watching
the other fellows work.
A man who is smart enough not to
say foolish things isn't always smart
enough not to do foolish things.
The luckiest men we know of are
fellows who carry lucky pieces in

land a girl husband quicker than a

A Chicken Moral

The more the Sd! .ect is dis ,ussed
the more interest," is ieveiopin., in the
land tax question everywhere. The
"Palisadian" has been running a SER
les of articles for months from the
facile pen of Citizen E. Y. Cohen, of
Palisade, which have been of re-
markable educational force and value.
The great outstanding hinderance
in the present system of taxation is
that land holdings are in the large
majority of cases mere channels
through which men seek investment.
They put their money in land because
they hope to see it rise in value.
Sooner or later it will come into de-
mand and at higher price. In the
meantime, while the land is going
up, it matters nothing if it has been
a slow process, it has paid very low
taxes, while the Government has been
supported by IMPROVED property
alone. The NEAL value is in the
land, because it cannot be taken
away. How unjust the system is
may be clearly understood by read
ing Mr. Cohen's Parable of the
Chickens" the second installment of
which appears in this issue of the
"Palisadian." The chicken is a very
lowly and humble fowl, but he is a
valuable asset as food. He is also
valuable in pointing a moral while
adjoining a tale.

Burglars Again

The appearance again Of burglars
in Palisade brings up once more the
wholly inadequate police protection
with which the taxpayers is served.
It is little short of scandal that with
these burglaries continuing not one
can be captured. On a big holiday
like Labor Day when huge crowd
damned the amusement park it was
logical to expect thieves to be about
So they were. But the police? Were
they in the neighborhood just after
twilight to apprehend q bold, not to
y facetious, burglar who walked IN
to the Phillips house and turned ON
the lights while he plundered it Of
a small safe and made way with It?
Not on your life. Policeman Heft who
serves Palisade admitted to a "Pai-
sadian" man that he was in the Fort
Lee station house when this news
paper notified headquarters that a
burglar was in the Phillips house,
and rode in the auto to Palisade to
aid in catch thief then on his way
to Hoboken or some point South.
If Mayor White who appears to
have no other occupation but being
Mayor rnd raising wa~ funds, and
getting his name in the Hudson Dis
Patch enc doing his religious" duty
would Only wake up and realize how
much in contempt such methods are
held by all self-respectiny people, he
would be ashamed of himself. Getting
after burglars after the bird has
flown is oil tommyrot and useless
waste of public funds. Keeping
watch al: the time is the better plan.

My Dear Mr.. Goemann:

am sure from the account which you
have kindly sent me that it must be
very glad satisfaction to have had a
son Of such beautiful spirit and char

America Il Servant AmOng
Nations Not A Master

A comment On letter in the last
number of Life wound up with a CT
tation of "Chapman's remark that
the words of Christ destroy the whole
whole fabric of society,"
Chapman said dissolve, not destroy;
dissolve the whole fabric of society"
A very striking remark, that, es-
pecially when taken in connection
with current events, when the whole
fabric of society seems to be progress
sing very steadily towards dissolu-
ton, with prospect of reconstruction
on new lines.
Undoubtedly there will be an effort
just as there was after Waterloo, to
start the nations off again on Chris
tian principles, and of course the mil
lennium will ,1ntfensue any more than
- l,;apce. Rat DEM
may easily bsat the arrange
ments of the HIy Alliance, and we
are entitled to hope that it will. Mr..
Wilson, as the leading Democrat
agent and spokesman, is strong in
good will to men, and the predomi-
nant disposition of the Allies is to-
wards an arrangement that will let
every nation go it's own gait, just as
far as is compatible with sublunary
cohesion. "The terminating idea Of
Mr.. Wilson's policy" says DR.. Jacks
in Land and Water, els that America,
because of her greatness, of her
power, of her vast potentialities, is
servant among nations, and not a
master" That certainly is a highly
Christianized attitude, and DR.. Jacks
by no means speaks for himself alone
when he attributes it to Mr.. Wilson.

Mcc.,p. New Position.

The following is taken from re-
cent issue of the Louisiana Planter:
"Eean J. Mccall, we'll knownstnem-
her of the sugar ana molasses firm
of w. T. King & Co. at New orleans
and a live stock expertshas been re-
ouested to take the position OF Ap.
praiser for the Southern District OF
Louisiana flor the Federal Land Bank
of New Orleans and has accepted the
position which will in no way inter
fere with his present connections
with the sugar and molasses opera
tions of w. T. King & Co., or his big
live stock interests. Mr.. Mccall was
chosen because of his thorough
knowledge of conditions agricultural
ly in south Louisiana"
Mr. Mccall is a native of this par
:sh and resided on the large Evan
Hall sugar estate of his father IN the
| first ward from his birth until about
one year ago. For many years he was
engaged as manager of the large Nc
Call estate, and some few years ago
hranched out into stock raising on
the place, which he conducted with
UNQUALIFIED success for long time,
and removed to New Orleans anc
took up his residence in that city
when the Mccall plantation changed
hands last year. Mr.. Mccall, a.
though young man, has had wide
experience in farming and is
thoroughly familiar with the values
of lands and therefore fully qualified
to fill the position to which ne has
been appointed. The news Of his
selection as appraiser for the Fed
eral Land Bank, was received with
great pleasure by his many friends
here who rejoice at his good for
tune. and have no hesitancy in pre-
dieting that he will make good and in
time prove one of the most efficient
of the land banks appraisers.
Mr.. Mccall makes his headquarters
in New Orleans and the duties con.
nected with his new position will in
lno way affect his connections with
1.-THE sugar and molasses firm of W. 7.
King & Co., of New Orleans, and the
operation of his live stock farm, on
the Oak Alley plantation in st. James
parish, both of which connections
will continue without interruption.
