avenue runs through the Allison Land
Company's property, and Judge Seu-
fert some. years ago Informed the BOr-
ough Council that it's order to lay
sidewalks could not be enforced, and
the sidewalks were not put down.
Judge Seufert was at that time attor-
ney for the Allison Land Company.
When Lemoine avenue was made a
state highway it's shining surface in
vited all automobiles, thousands week
ly, and also all the young people who
like promenading.
The habit (2) of young people in
getting too far inside on this and other
highways is always dangerous, and
many times it is done to annoy auto
lists, against whom there appears to be
certain unjustified prejudice.
Just why 90 the administration in
Fort Lee, knowing these facts, has not
sought to correct them is unknown ex-
cept on the basis of dovetailing politics
or the well-wOrn rut of neglect.
And (4) as sample of the meaning
of sidewalks, do we hear of any acct
dents or dangers to PEDESTRIANS in
Anderson avenue, Palisade, where
sidewalks exist?

BURYlNG THE Ratchet.

A right-minded politician can ac-
commodate himself to anything that is
fair for his party, if he's of the right
sort of stuff. Now, here we are having
Charles O'Connor Hennessy and Can
didate LaMonte making friends, as it
were, at the very beginning of their
campaign for United States senator
Mr.. LaMonte beat Mr.. Hennessy a
few hundred votes for the long-term
nomination, but got in on the short
term end. He had not liked the ma
chine politics that got Mr.. LaMOnte
on the primary ticket, but like the good
sport that he is, he is now willing to
bury the Ratchet and is going to pitch
in and try to make the Democratic
regulars win, including his own end.
Mr. LaMonte is somewhat of an I'M
known quantity as senatorial timber,
but Mr.. Hennessy will make the well
kin ring, and there is going to be some
fur flying between now and the No
vember election. But it is going to be
a clean campaign, though Governor
Edge will not have the walkOver he
now believes he will. Mr.. Hennessy
is no mean politician by a long shot,
and will have the backing of the adj
ministratiOn, and that is somewhat
strong at this time.

AMERICA NOT HESlTANT.

It's no use trying to satisfy every
body, no matter what you do.
The Presidents answer to Prince
Macmillan pleased all of the New
York newspapers except the Herald
and Tribune.
The Herald feared it would not
please the "Man in the Street" The
Tribune feared it was giving Germany
an opportunity of "capitalizing it's in
sincerity in terms of morale by MAX
ing the people believe it had asked -
vain for peace on President Wilson'S
own conditions"
To the latter objection it may be
said: Very well. Suppose Prince Max
imilian says just that and refuses to
withdraw German armies from in
vaded territory? Will not that prove
the Presidents estimate of the trickery
attempted? Will not the war go on
until ''force without stint or limit
brings the unconditional surrender we
now ask in so many words? We are in
the war for the supreme sacrifice
and are ready for any answer Ger
many may make or any move she may
make. We are neither hating nor
hesitating about what to do in the war;
If Germany wants peace, she has the
terms. We are not coaXing her in the
least

THE AMERICAN ESTIMATE.

The Kaiser got the fullest measure
of a report of American sentiment on
his recent proposal for an armistice
through the press of the country.
From Maine to California the feeling
was the same all over Every writer
banged the proposal to the utmost linn
it of indignation. Every man of them
thought the complete surrender" idea
the only one worth while. AS an ex-
preston of unanimity of feeling, the
American press was composite whole,
complete and final. There was not a
single dissenter
This makes what President Wilson
said in his Metropolitan Opera House
speech all the more to be emphasized,
viz: That the present government of
Germany cannot be trusted in the
smallest degree.
On the one essential of brain per-
ception people are pretty generally
alike all over the world. Most men of
common sense can see the same thing
about in the same light. 1t is now
generally conceded by all minds ev-
erywhere in all countries, that Ger
many has been greatly weakened in
war efficiency. She herself admits the
superiority of her enemies. But I'M
less the Allies grant her demands for
an armistice, she proposes to fight on
till she has forced san honorable
peace Ninety days ago Germany was
delivering the mightiest battle ever
launched since the dawn of civilian
ton, but she met her master at the
Marine, and today she is outfought,
outgeneralled, outguessed, outclass-
ed. She is no more able to conquer
the Allies than she can drink the
ocean dry at a gulp.

DON'T FALTER ON BONDS.

We have every faith in the heart of
the American people. They are con-
fronting the gravest crisis in all the
history of mankind. The faith of
America has builded the greatest of
all democracies Our example as eX-
pOnents of freedom and defenders of
liberty has rung round the world. Ev-
cry nation in existence today knows
the truth of American loyalty and I'M
selfish patriotism. This republic has
been built up on the sOundest theories
and advanced to the greatest heights
ever attained by any people in history.
1t has all been done without a boast,
without acclaim and by the simple
principle of having right purpose.
How have opponents to American
rights, American reason, American
fairness, vanished in the past? Has
anything ever contested against us
with success? Has any nation ever
known America to play the game of
life falsely? Have we ever obtained a
diplomatic advantage through trick
cry? Have not our aims ever been
true and our principles clean? This is
why in the present war we have so
amazingly gone forward at clip that
almost battles human understanding
And this is why the German terror is
being fast put out of the running. The
victory is not ours yet, but the mighty
fist of Uncle Sam is making huge dents
in the carcass of the hated Hun. Our
idolatry of the higher aims has brought
fear only in evil hearts. The triumph
of truth is not based on vengeance
but justice.
This is why at the moment of SUI
preme test the American response to
the Fourth Liberty loan, tagging for
the nOnce, is going to emerge tri-
in behalf of honor and the salvation
of worlds liberties.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER II, 1918.
PUT UP OR SHUT UP.


The rapid-movement action on the
German peace proposals this week
have been so fast that even the daily
newspapers have scarcely been able to
keep up with them. The preparation
of editorial copy for the local weeklies
therefore on topics relative to the war
has had to be held in check in order to
await last minute events.
The suddenness of the German pro-
posal almost took worlds breath
away. No one was looking for any
thing like it to come at the moment it
arrived. Those who read it for the
first time Sunday morning were sure
that peace had come. But as the day
wore on and more mature elaboration
over 1t was taken the general public
trend was to discredit the proposal as
another German trick at playing for
advantage. We all know that Germany
is virtually beaten; that she is practi-
cally starved; that she has failed in all
of her detectives, so the plausibly pre-
scented armistice bait seemed all too
good to be true, yet many thoughtful
people concluded it was a sincere ap-
peal for peace-an effort, however, for
German heads to sit at the peace table
and argue out the best terms the allies
would Offer But it is as a suppliant
that Germany must come, culprit
convicted of the most unhOly crimes
ever recorded in the annals of the
world. She must be tried by the jury
of world opinion and judged accord
ingly.
And so the week began in a frenzy
of public interest, and President Will
son was fairly deluged with appeals to
hold Germany to the complete sur
render" basis, and that's what he did.
His answer on Monday night pleased
everybody. All America, all England.
all France, all Italy, all Belgium, all
the world, eagerly drank in the Presi-
dents words and accepted them as a
drastic order to the Kaiser to ''put up
or shut up"

THE INFLUENZA.

The fearful ravages being made by
Influenza has created the greatest
alarm all over the country. From re-
ports it seems to have spread all over
the world, Africa reporting cases in
the southern sections of the dark con-
tlnent. All over the United States the
strange disease has spread, and there
seems to be no way to put check
upon it's ravages. 1t is all over Eu-
rope too. In America its heaviest toll
appears to have been in Boston and
New England centers that are thickly
populated.
Whatever the cause of this unusual
visitation, there seems to be no way of
understanding it, and the medical pro-
fession is working in the dark to a
certain degree in trying to put it
down. The most certain processes of
prevention is keeping aloof from other
people Just how it is communicable
is its greatest mystery. The medical
world gives certain precautions, many
of which are as carefully guarded as
possible in a great metropolitan cen
ter, but still the affection spreads with
deadly scope and peril everywhere. No
section is immune. In some places it
has partially run it's course; in others
it is just appearing Until some spe-
cific that will actually stop its spread
is known there is only one thing to do,
and that is to take the most common
sense precautions in keeping the gen
eral system in good order. Avoiding
over-eating and drafts that induce
colds are among the essentials of pre-
vention. Keeping warm and dry feet
is another.

SALOONS DEFY STATE CLOSING
ORDER.

The order of the New Jersey State
Board of Health last week closing all
churches, schools, theaters and saloons
was one of those drastic actions that
seldom come except under great stress
and menace to the public health. The
prevailing epidemic of influenza being
the cause and the percentage of fatali-
ties following the disease made hasty
action compulsory if it was to be
stamped out by closing all avenues for
its spread.
With what amazing impudence, there
fore, do the saloons of Fort Lee, Cliff
side, Edgewater and other places dare
oppose an edict of this kind? Who
gave them this assurance? Certainly
it was an open violation of the sacred
and prescribed prerogatives of the
great commonwealth of New Jersey to
protect its people against the inroads
of an epidemic as fatal and wide
spread as this, and any violations of
the edict of the State Board of Health.
should be given drastic punishment.
There has come to the ears of The
Palisadian a report that Mayor White
of Fort Lee attended meeting of the

HIGH WAR PRICES.

One of the strangest things con-
nected with the war is the high price
of living. 1t is always natural in all
wars for prices on commodities to go
up. This is necessary concomitant
of all war periods everywhere. The
law of supply and demand forces every
commodity to a sitter selling price.
But in this country very large per-
centage of the high prices are purely
arbitrary, as, for instance, eggs, but
ter and such articles of daily use. A
reasonable raise in prices would be
looked for. But eggs at so cents the
dozen cannot be allowed as reasonable,
because the best experts feel that
prices could rule lower if only the
middleman could be made to keep
hands off. All things are high. But
when the first break of peace shall
come the bottom will drop out of
some things, and it cannot come too
soon to the hated profiteers who will
be carrying unduly large stocks of nee
essaries in the hope of still further
rises in price. The American people
have been willing sufferers and made
every form and nature of sacrifice.
But it is an unhappy thought that one
feels over their willingness to be
tleeced and the hecat devils who do
the job allowed to go free.

WILL EXPLAIN FOOD PROGRAM

After the completion of the Liberty
loan drive on the part of the four min
ute men the government has asked that
body of citizens to explain to the pub
lie at large the details of the food pro-
gram for the United States in 1919.
Our government has pledged 17,50O,-
600 tons of food to the allies and our
army in France. This is 5,750,0OO
more than we shipped last year, and
our aggregate food supply is approx
mately the same. On October 2S there
will be distributed new home card
of which every family in the United
States will receive one. Food is as
vitality necessary to the winning of the
war as is ammunition.
The junior four minute contest for
the fourth Liberty loan has been I'M
avoidably postponed owing to the in
duenza epidemic.

saloon interests last Friday night, Oc-

called for the purpose of protesting
the saloon closing order Mayor White
has done many things during his long
incumbency of the mayoralty Office in
Fort Lee with which this newspaper
differed and on which he was censured.
But of all the miserable things sell

this last damning act of going out
openly and asserting that he is higher
than the state law and allowing the
saloons to open regardless of the order
by state authorities.
