Of change, that has helped to null

the spending size Of our pennies is
advertising.
Every merchant, every manufac-
tuer knows that advertising mate
rally reduces selling costs by in
creasing the demand for and the
distribution Of the products Of
hundreds Of thousands Of mills.
Indeed many Of the things we
count today as necessi::: or SIM
pie Injuries could not be made
and sold at their reasonable prices
except as advertising has created
a broad market for them, making
millions Of sales at little prices and
little profits.
You owe present advertising a
thorough reading. A greater ia
mliarity with advertising, with adj
verhsers and advertised merchan-
disc makes continually for the IN
creasing size Of your pennies.

THE EXPIRED CONGRESS.

The windup of the Sixty-fifth Con-
gress marks the end of the epOchal
period through which any American
national legislative body ever passed.
1t saw the approach, the beginning,
the waging and the end of the worlds
bloodieSt and most terrible war. More
history was written in the short time
of the past two years than ever found
record in any other two years since
the birth of man.
1t may be said that with the eXcep-
ton of a few spats here and there,
the expiring Congress was more gen
orally united on the immediate needs
of the United States than any of rec
ord The war was upon us. we were
in it from the beginning of 1917 to the
end of 1918. On most great matters
up for discussion in the halls of Con
gress the large majority related TO the
war The country was united on that
AS it never was before, and America
threw her power and striking force
into the European vortex amid the
enthusiastic plaudits of the whole nat
lloll. II OF tllS liHlc, Ut any rate, pdT-
ties were of minor consideration. The
old thought of when the war is over"
chanted itself into the newer more in
spring song of when the war is
won.' That was the spirit that ami
mated Congress; and the country
looked on in admiring wonder at the
assembling of America in the war No
such spectacle had ever before been
witnessed. Like a huge figure, larger
than the mountains and broader than
the ocean. the colossal movement took
shape and was soon co-ordinating its
machinery into Il great fighting unit
that was again reasSembled in Europe,
where it again smote the Hun hip and

SOME FORT LEE RECOLLECTioNS

The most interesting part of the
testimony in the Courier case at Hack
ensack this week was the part played
by the two Peters of Fort Lee, Messrs.
Sicardi and Celia. Sicardi swore ON
the stand that he heard IA New York
gambler promise money to Detective
Taylor of the prosecutors staff. and
Peter Celia corroborated this by say
ing he was there and heard the same
thing. Detective Taylor swOre he never
saw the New York gambler brought in
by Sicardi, thus establishing an alibi,
in Il way. 1t is easy to understand
why the Sicardi testimony was intro
duced He is the Bergen county traf-
fic officer, taking his appointment from
the sheriff. If Sicardi never really
heard the New York gambler make
the offer referred to in the testimony
somebody has been guilty of perjury
and a new case may be made of it, as
would be just in the premises. There
is no meaner thing to do than
swear TO lie. Perjury is the worst
form of malice. 1t is il form of Grim
inal miSbehavior second TO nothing
that may be named that is bad. 1t is
as bad as stealing, to put it mildly
for there is an old saying that any
man who will lie will steal What
Peter Celia wanted to come into the
case for is somewhat puzzling. Peter
is former freeholder, and at one
time associated with some of the best
politicians in the county. He is wide
ly known, and if he made any mis-
statements III this case, he is likely to
suffer the penalty. Cellas hotel is
widely known all over the East, and
he has played the part of host to many
celebrities, one of which was the State
Board of Health last fall when he de-
clined to close his saloon during the
flu epidemic. 1t would be too bad
to see poor Peter get into trouble
through trying to merely protect
friend But then Peter can always fall
back on his friend the mayor.

drove ahead with the spirit of an
aroused lion after its prey.
When it was all over and peace
came, returned the party spirit, and
the leaders opposed to the administra-
ton began to feel about for IL spot on
which to begin its opening for future
control of Congress. At this moment
Mr.. Wilson, foreSeeing the danger to
his own party, issued his appeal for Il
sustaining Congress in the belief that
getting out of the war was as big job
as getting into it, and he wanted to
fortify himself against the upSetting
of his policies. At this there was a
revolt and new Congress. Republi-
can in both branches, was returned.
Thus the President finds himself
with his own party Congress thing
of the past He has his personal pres
tige alone on which to travel for the
balance of his term. With his past
brilliant record it will not surprise the
world if he should continue his won
derful leadership. The old Congress
was not easy to handle at all times,
and the Republican party, always pos
ing as the party of reason, may find
itself facing a man it cannot in reason
resist At any rate. the incoming Con-
greSS has no set program so far be-
cause in the nature of things it cannot
have definite policies now. There is
too much chaos in picking the policies
of peace. They have started out, how
IL.
credit, that of opposing the League of
Nations and offering no alternative
plan. We can only await the outcome.

Woodrow Wilson on the rack now
Lying rumors that people ''know to be
true are about as untrue as they are
unlikely and Illogical To believe the
current lies about the social life of
Woodrow Wilson would be to make
him the most unworthy man that ever
disgraced life itself The same sort of
lies were circulated about poor Nc
Knley, than whom there appears to
have been no cleaner President or man
connected with our government. There
is something in the great responsible
ties of the office that should make the
mission of President deeply religious
service to the people So why should
we worry about the lies that are told
upon our neighbOrS? INSCRIPTIONS
people love to talk, and they live for
no better motive. Whole families are
given to this tendency 1t simply can
not be stopped and always the lies
are disseminated with the utmost con-
fidence in their source We cannot af-
ford to believe in the sloppy gossiper
They lie for the love of it, and they lie
for the life of it. 1t becomes part of
their existence. The habitual liar gen.
orally comes ii crOpper after awhile.
They meet their Waterloo.

GOV. EDGE AGAINST LEAGUE.

With characteristic agility Cover
nor Edge put his name TO Senator
Lodges Immortal 81" DIRECTORS to
the League of Nations There you
have it. The matter is settlg3gs. The
League cannot be. The act Of Gov
ernor Edge was of course his own
matter Nobody objects to his feel
ing that Il league won't do. There are
millions of others The United States
has about 110000,00O people in it. OF
course Il few millions who side with
Governor Edge won't bother much
with the 101 100000 who look upon
the League of Nations as the para
mount issue in preserving peace.
Somehow, that grand. clean, good man,
William Howard Taft, has never ap-
pealed to us as Il fool. He's built
about right. He feels the need of the
league. He breaches it and lives it.
His following may not be as big as
it once was, but he is still as level
headed us ever. He has made few
mistakes of Judgment. and is fair in
his expression of faith. 1t doesn't
matter about GovernOr-SenatOr Edge
now. He is coming fast, and he won't
be long in the senate before he will
be heard, and to advantage.

OF WOMEN'S
CLUBS NEWS ITEMS

Plans are being formulated for the
amaIgamatiOn of the New Jersey State
Federation of WOmen's Clubs and the
New Jersey Division of the Women s
Committee of the Council of National
Defense.
Five departments of the New Jer-
sey State Federation of Women S
Clubs-Civics, Education, Industrial
and Social Conditions, Legislation and
Public Health--are working together,
under the direction of the State Cham
Der of Commerce. in making survey
of the physically handicapped persons
in this state.
The problem of the disabled persons
is one on which the war has conferred
public attention and thrown new
light The cripple is no longer cOnsid-
cred as helpless, and therefore neces-
sarily debarred from any economic ac-
tiVity.
The survey is to determine Il prac-
teal basis for the training of all dis
abled persons, and will include handi-
Mapped civilians as well as soldiers,
and is not to be confined to cripples
proper but is to include all persons
affected to the extent of being handi-
capped in working for self support.

. LOCAL BOYS GETTING BACK

The Palisades section is getting
some of its own boys back at last, and
many families and scores of friends
are greatly rejOiced ut their safe ar
rival home again after the long alb
sence in France fighting Germans.
The boys all declare they are delighted
to be on American soil again. Most
of them who We're volunteers feel that
war is not desirable, and all are glad
enough that it is all over, at least for
the present Few of them have any
criticism to express about the way
things went off over there. Perhaps
they see how things could have been
different and to that extent improved.
But this country was new and i'll used
to war for 80 years, and when this last
great demand for America to enter the
world conflict we were forced to use
a great deal of haste in getting ready
There are some who criticiSe the coun
try for not having more preparation
But that is all nonsense now. The
Lord knows we got busy quick enough
and helped to make short Shrift of the
pesky business propelled, promoted
and started by the German nation
against the world The most heart
felt and cordial welcome is extended

great sacrifice for their country, which
is honored by their deeds in it's behalf
They left many behind in France who
made the supreme sacrifice. and for

Taft Urges Ratification of
the World League Plan

Helena. Mont, Feb 15.-"AS low
ers of your country and as lovers
of mankind, / ask you to use all
your influence with our senators
and have the treaties embodying
the League of Nations idea rati-
fed" declared William Howard
Taft, former President of the Unit
ed States, here today. Mr.. Taft
spoke to the crowd at the Union
Station on his arrival from the east
with the party touring the country
in the interest of the League of
Nations.
Commenting upon the text of the
articles agreed TO at the peace con-
ference for society of nations,
former President Taft said
ut is real League of Nations.
1t is not all that | wished, but
comes near. 1t is great deal bet
ter than I hoped. 1t contains with
in its terms provisions for its own
growth. Indeed, the eXigencies of
the European situation in the
sphere of the league will probably
require additional and more Strin-
gent provisions in some respects
than appear in the present plan,
but on the whole I am quite graft
fed over the unanimous agreement
on the subject.
There should be no doubt of its
approval by the senate when it is
embodied in the treaty.

GOOD PREACHING.

Preaching good sermons, like all
other forms of communication of
thought between public speakers and
assemblies of people, is one of the
greatest of arts The Use of language
means little if it is not readily under
stood A public speaker who general
ICES and does not stick to his theme
seldom builds up following among
those who assemble to hear him week
in and week out. Thus, Il man may be
highly intellectual; he may be able to
discuss abstruse problems with great
skill and with an infinite degree of
able thought. But if he cannot i'm
press his thought upon the minds of
others he has failed Of his mission. a
speaker to be good must be convnc
ing. The greatest demand in oratOry
is not to be eloquent, but to be express
sive. After all, feeling is the most
powerful form of expression in any of
the arts, and in public speaking it is
everything Without it preacher
must perforce become more or less in
feeling as if it were Il view plucked
out of the very heart of the forest or
garden. Giving expression to ones
emotion so that it appeals to others is
the cornerstone of power all speakers
should build to. But how few of them
do! To feel oneself the deep. preg-
nant thought behind the meaning of a
topic is gift that is great only when
that emotion can be communicated to
ones hearers
So ministers of the gospel are great,
good or indifferent, according as they
get at the meaning of carrying on
Gods work in the church. DiSSerta-
tions on various forms of theology
mean little to the average mind going
to church. SermoniZing cannot APP
peal except it go to the heart and its
depths with the meaning and the feel
ing of the thought in the subject. Men
go to church to be made better, not
to be merely entertained with fiery,
burning oratory or profoundly thought
out theories about this or that point of
religion. After all, mere religion is
nothing in itself unless lived in our
daily lives; unless we eXemplify it
with our actions.
TO tell men how to do this is one of
the greatest of all pulpit gifts. EX
pounding the Scriptures is of no use
in itself unless it carry with it the
fullness of feeling on how men should
live to inherit the kingdom of God.
One thought of emotion in sermon, if
it reach the heart, is worth an hour of
generalities on the opinion of some
one of the meaning of some thought
connected with the church. How to
live better lives is what men want to
hear about. And that preacher who
addresses himself to this mode of
preaching is doing more real good for
the church of the living God than all
the so called solutions of thought; all
the absoluteness he can express in a
month. Solving riddles of religion is
not preaching the way to glory.
