and departs one hairs breadth from
peace of justice on every point consid-
cred. So the world may look with
every certainty Of well directed hope
to see "a peace consummated at YER
sailles that will represent the best
thought of all lands. That American
ideals will dominate the peace table is
also as certain as that the stars shine.
This government is the one great out
standing democracy that has with
stood the passing Of more than CEN
fury of the peoples rule and will. Re-
publicans and Democrats alike have
always stood for, or tried to stand for,
the people and their desires. 1t mat
tiers not today whose ideas shall domi-
nate and finally prevail, the great
overshadowing principles of the Amer
lean free nation will lead at YER
sailles and point the way to the new
freedom that is to make for the future
peace and liberties of mankind.

ticular agitation was the nearest til
bridge ever came to being cOnsum
mated. The money was all ready, an,
only the consent of the government
was necessary, which Mr.. Lamont de
clined to allow.
General Goethals, politician, says tir
Hudson bridge cannot be constructs
for very foolish reason and one tha
win not hold water. The Hudson rive
today presents great navigable VT
terway disable as far as Troy. 1t cor
meets at Albany with the Erie cana,
and no kind of ship or boat that trat
els on the river or the ocean eve
could be interfered with by bridg
across the Hudson. The fact is tie
public is being deceived about tfl

ize could be laid at the door of eithe
New York or New Jersey politics. II
Their state could claim that the bridg
might injure commerce in some mar
ner, but merely claiming such thin
would not make it true. General Coz

WELCOME TO OUR SAILORS.

The return of a large portion of the
American fleet this week from Euro
pean waters gave opportunity for the
heart of New York to unburden itself
to the full. The great part of the fleet
in the war is only casually understood.
The actual labor of being a member
of our naval forces in the dreaded WIN
ter months on guard in the frigid tor
lures of the North sea cannot be COM
pretended by any but those who went
through it. With no cOmpaniOnship
but the deep sounding waves, ''pulu-
phlois blOioise thallasses,' as the
Greek legend has it, the lonely vigil
through the winter of 1917-1S must
have been a period to try mems souls.
1t was guardianship trust which the
men of our navy never once betrayed.
Physical hardships were endured with
stole heroism, and finer record of
service was never made under the
flag. Secretary Daniels has been
abused r0undly by an unthinking
press, but the worm has turned. No
more efficient brains in the post of
secretary of the navy was ever devel-
oped than in Mr.. Daniels. Perhaps
history will accord him the highest
h0nors ever given to any man in this
role.

POOR "HoBEY" BAKER.

No athlete of modern times showed
greater or more remarkable skill than
"Hobey" Baker, the Princeton boy just
now reported killed in an airplane &C.
cident in France. In war he was ear
ly in the thick of the conflict and as
an aviator had many hOnOrs for dis
tinguished service. 1t seems the irony
of fate that he should have gone
through so many real dangers in the
frightful orgies Of battle, only to come
out and be brought down" by con-
trary machine. But Bakers example
will live. He exemplified clean sport
and the clean life. He was a typical
American youth who grew up with the
typical traditions of this wonderful
land and went to the front among his
peers through the sheer force of grit,
skill, and moral as well as physical
power. The dear fellows prowess as
an athlete will long remain the Won
der of maturing youth, and what
"Hobey" Baker represented will be
pointed to many years hence as an
ideal to be envied and emulated. God
bless the memory of such chap who
literally loved nation to his feet
through the sheer modesty of his worth
as man.

wANrED-rHE HUDSON BRIDGE,

The contending forces operating
against the building of a bridge across
the Hudson river are again at work
trying once more to forestall the eff
forts that have recently been put forth
in behalf of this great enterprise.
General GOethals, in his recent at
tempt to get through congressional aid
on traffic tunnel project, went out of
his way to throw stones at the bridge.
He said it would be a menace to navi-
cation, but gave no real valid reason
for so thinking, if indeed he ever
thought so. One wonders why this
thought never stayed the hand of prog
ress in the construction Of bridges over
the East river, far more important
arm of navigation than the Hudson
river At the present time there are
no less than four large and wonderful
bridges over the East river, yet navi-
cation has never been threatened to
the slightest extent. Our largest war
ships, our deepest draught vessels of
every kind, go under these bridges
with the greatest ease.
What then is the real cause of opp0-
sition to bridging the Hudson? The
United States government has stood in
the way more than once when this
matter has been agitated. Away back
in the days of Grover Cleveland, Dan
MEL Lamont, secretary of war, said the
Hudson should not be bridged, and the
project again fell through. That par

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Mr.. and Mrs. John McNulty gave a
birthday party for their daughter,
Anna, at their home, on Washington
Place, Cliffside, N. ]. Miss McNulty
received numerous useful presents
from the guests and entertained them
by doing few Irish dances with FL
wood Linsky as partner.
Edward J. Ostermann furnished the
music for the occasion and also accom-
panied Miss Loretta FOy, who sang
her latest song hit entitled you'll
Find Old Dixie Land in France and
who found no difficulty in displaying
her talent as singer. Miss Agnes
Foy and Charles Curran gave very
graceful and entertaining exhibition on
modern dancing, displaying some of
the latest and up-to-date dances, the
Rocking Chair" being the one of
most interest. During the evening an
elaborate supper was served. The.
supper march was played by the st.
Johns Orchestra, composed of MEM
bers of the ST. Johns Lyceum Club.
Those present were the Misses Anna
McNulty, Laura McKenna, Loretta
Foy, Agnes Foy, Mary Either, Eliza
beth McKenna, Adelaide Hoppe, Gene
We've Webb and Sissy Mcfsennif.

GAMBLING in sERcEN.

An anomalous situation exists in
Bergen county, according to an article
reproduced In this issue of The Pail
sadian. Mention was recently made In
the news columns of all the northern
New Jersey newspapers about the ar
rest of the sheriff of Bergen county on
charges by County Prosecutor Huckm
for certain language contained In
published letter in which the prosecu-
tor was rather plainly handled for
failure to prosecute certain gentry OF
the gambling profession who had been
operating in the county. These gam
blers were duly raided and captured
by the sheriff, but after long delay,
the sheriff got his dander up because
they were not brought to the bar of
Justice. The prosecutors regarding the
sheriff's tone and words as reflection
upon him personally, issued a warrant
for his arrest upon the charge of GRIM
fnal libel.
Whatever the merits Of this case
may be, The Palisadlan is not prepared
to say. But that gambling, and great
deal of it, is done all through Bergen
county is well known fact. How to
get rid of it is difficult matter to sur
round. Almost every village and cross
roads town has It's element of men and
women who have the instinct of gam
bling, and who follow their bent re-
gardless Of all law forbidding it. 1t
goes on in society under the very
shadow Of the village church, and
within the hearing of the organ Sun
days. 1t seems to be a sort of human
instinct to want to take chance. No
man can readily explain this feeling.
We all know that 1t exists, and also
we know the almost impossible thing
of putting it down. The main thing to
be abhorred about it all is the pres
ence of the blackleg gambler. This
type of the gambler is the common
thief kind. He makes his gains by
devices that cheat. But those who
know these facts cannot somehow be
restrained from becoming victims.
They appear to believe that there is
honor among thieves, and that no high
minded gambler would stoop to take
advantage of patron. On the con-
trary, it is well known to police circles
in every American city that all gam
bling places are VIGOROUSLY filed with
cheating devices The travelling"
gambler takes his paraphernalia along
from county to county, and these are
the type now operating in the nearby
counties around New York. Whatever
their right of Immunity may be, it
doubtless exists, regardless Of political
denials.

A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS.

Last Wednesday was Christmas
What a wonderful day it was, to b.
sure! All the world at peace again
with no nation practicing,the arts O.
trickery and selfishness for gail
against some other nation or people
How our shops everywhere fairl,
bulged with the precious things tha'
were to be offered as tokens of the day
and its meaning, this time more filled
with meaning than ever before in al
the worlds history. Millions made
Christmas great thanksgiving mo
ment of rejoicing that the world is al
last freed from war and killing. The
thought of war in the future is going
to be more and more abhOrrent. As
we look today at the promise of to-
morrow there is little likelihood thai
war upon large scale will ever again
be fought, and war methods, too, will
be changed. The airplane and subma,
rine, developed in this war into a state
Of wonderful perfection and efficiency
were at best only engines of horror
and devastation. The compact of
peace that is to come from the Yer.
sailles conference will do away with
these aggressive methods for the rea-
son that as used in the war just closed
they were against all rules of civilized
combat. In future wars, if ever they
come, the airplane may be used as n
weapon against foe, but not against Il
nOncambatant. The submarine, too,
may be used for purposes to be de
fined, but not for the destruction OF
passenger ships or neutral vessels.
So this Christmas promised SO much,
represented SO much, that it's like was
never known before and may never be
again. The rainbow of hope was never
before SO brilliant, and the meaning OF
the natal day never before impressed
itself upon the human heart as this
year of our Lord, 1918. The world al
peace, humanity again goes forward Oh
its march towards the goal of-achieue
ment, rivalries, competition, struggle
for supremacy, but only in the justified
cause of righteousness for the rule OF
right, justice and truth.

a PEACE FOR ALL PEOPLES.

President Wilson was wise in saying
the other day that no one man could
comprehend the complexities that viii
come before the great peace confer
enee that is so soon to assemble. 1t is
desired, as he has later said, to make
this peace for all peoples.
This is the democratic ideal. But
can order be brought out of the chaos ?
With England demanding, or at least
talking, about forcing Germany to pay
the complete cost of the war; with
France limiting that she must extend
her borders to the Rhine; with Italy
silently seeking the Jugo-Slav coun-
try; with American statesmen appeal
ing for some of the .spOils or war
with all these things and hundreds
more demanding attention and on
which action must be taken, no Won
der President Wilson is appalled, at
the great task before the peace dele
gates.
But just as the war was the great
est of all time, so the coming peace
must be the most immortal document
Of all time. And its sacred adjustment
must fulfill all of the demands of JUS
tice today and protection for tOmOr-
row. Loose screws that may be tech
nically twisted must be lightened the
more against intrigue and distortion.
Treaties of peace have indeed been
scraps of paper, but compact of
peace made at Versailles this time
must be on form of figurative parch-
ment that no hand may tear apart and
that will be as enduring as time.
The present is an anxious moment
for the heart of the world. COnten-
tons everywhere are arising over the
disposition of EurOpe's future. A new
continent is in the making, and there
must be cool hands at the helm. Euro
pean diplomacy has long been in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS leaders, at
least in some directions, but the time
has come when the people and not chi
canery must rule. Neither sect nor
king must play these smart roles in
future that have bedeviied the life OF
nations in the past. Compacts of 1928
and all antedated outlawed treaties
must be swallowed up and obiiterated
by one complete understanding that
will guide future civilization-that is,
if law and order are ever to prevail
again.

SHAKESPEARE TODAY.

A New York dramatic critic in
quires, "Was Shakespeare play
wright?'
Well, of course. maybe not in the
sense that George Cohan and other
Broadway geniuses are playwrights.
Still, considering the crude, uncul-
tured times he lived in, and the char
acter of the audiences he had to
please, he didn't do so badly-Hack-
ensack Record
And considering further his lack Of
knowledge Of human nature, and his
supreme ignorance of men, he would
be looked upon as a piker today,
Truth compels, the admission that
Shakespeare was no Cohan.

VILLAGE GOSSIP
Patient Bertha.

The most patient-relentlessly pa
tient-person in all Palisade is Bertha.
Nobody needs an Introduction to Ber-
tina. She's known to everybody, liked
by everybody, held in high esteem by
everybody, treated with consideration
by everybody, and all because she is
the most unreservedly accommodating
postmistress in the entire United
States of America, anywhere, any
place. She has at this Christmas time
about enough to keep ten men at work,
yet manages to smilingly glide right
through it just as though some people
were not foolish enough to send so
pound parcel post bundles to go
through the mail, and she can pick up
one of these big bundles and get a
mail sack on the outside of it about the
quickest of anybody in this part of the
country. And as for letters, they dis
appear in her hands and into the re-
pOsitOries that are called boxes about
as fast as the eye can wink. Now,
here is little suggestion: Let all of
us go up to Bertha this Christmas and
say, Bertha, the war is over, and we
are glad of it, but you are still here at
war all the time, and here's something
for your Christmas" Then hand out
a nice dollar bill or half or quarter
and go along off about our business, as
though we had done what we should
have thought about long ago and don't
let there be an exception in the whole
dodgasted town. Get it?
Four Generations Dine.
The Ernest Sibleys had as their
guests for Christmas dinner Mrs.
Evans and her daughter, Mrs. Captain
Ross Lillard of Oklahoma City, little
Dorothy Jane and the war baby, Ross,
Jr During the afternoon photo
graph was made of the four genera
lions of the family present, Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Evans, parents of Mrs.
Sibley; Mrs. Evans, wife of their son,
and Mrs. Ross Lillard, the latter's
daughter, and little Dorothy Jane,
Mrs. LIZARDS four-year-old daughter.
The Tallmann Children.
Mrs. John A. Tallmann, formerly OF
Palisade, has sent The Palisadian Il
photograph of her four children. 1t is
very pretty group, the little ones be-
ing pretty and attractive. The Tall
manns are now living at Toledo, O..
They will be remembered as living in
the house now owned by DR.. Theophi-
lus Nelson, in Cumbermede road.
They formerly had two attractive chill.
dren, little Virginia and Jack, both of
whom died from meningitis while they
lived in Union Hill, following their re-
moval from Palisade. Their other
child at that time was Marion, the
youngest, now grown into a pretty miss
about ten. The group just sent shows
Marion tall and slender, representing
Miss Liberty in costume, while an
other little Virginia, in Red Cross garb,
makes a very pretty picture, holding
in her arms dollie fastened on a
board, like the famous Third Liberty
Loan Red Cross picture, 1.-THE Great

ginia's side are her two young broth

WORLD a PATIENT LISTENER.

Truth cOmpels the frank admission
that politics is so large factor in
the present widespread debate on a
world peace that dissociating peace
and politics is herculean task. OPP
posing forces in politics boiled down
mean that one element Of citizenship,
or thought, believes the other side a
fool. and that the way to meet an ac-
tual condition right is to always ig-
more the party in power and listen
only to the party not in power. That
is the essence of politics.
Now, world peace is almost GER
tain to come, but it is to be by no
easy process. Every man who has an
idea on which is the best thing to do
must get it out of his system. So
the Lodges and the Knoxes and the
Teddy Roosevelts must all throw off
their steam so that the outer world
may see their spouting. These gentle
men are not fools, either They are
merely smart politicians. Perhaps the
what of 1t? There are others.
SO in the final getting together on a
peace plan that will be satisfactory to
everybody we must first listen to all
the politicians. England, France and
Italy all have politicians also. The
men running the governments of those
countries are kn0w-n0things, accord
ing to the ideas of their opponents at
home. When these vaporings are fin
ished and the beginning of the peace
methods starts before the real confer
ence the terms will fall out of the
peace tribunal hopper one by one till
the grist is all ground. What pleas
ant surprise there is going to be for
the world then No European nation
wants any more war. Life is too pre-
cious to be seeming disturbance ev-
cry time diplomat sneezes. The
world is all too anxious to put the pos
sibility of future wars out of the reck-
Oning.
OF the responsibility resting upon
every man who is delegate at the
peace table there can be no doubt.
Each man Is going there to look cold,
stern facts in the face, haunted by
ten million dead who fell in France.
The ghost of every wrong vote, every
doubtful stand taken at the peace ta-
bic will taunt the man who sits there
