country can take care of its own and
will.
But the niger in the woodpile is the
labor situation. The war boosted day
labor away beyond anything it ever
hoped to attain. Now the labor lead
ers want to maintain the present labor
scale regardless of anything that might
have a tendency to force hard times
once more. If prices stay up and labor
stays up profits cannot stay up unless
trade stays where it was in war times.
Certainly we have nothing like the
markets for our products today that
we had in the war period. If we can
not sell as much how can we make as
much? Something is wrong with the
calculations somewhere. The law of
supply and demand alone appears to
be the only solution, and it is getting
ready to adjust itself. And we believe
it will do it without great scramble
or contention for wrong demands in
any quarter.

GOV. EDGES NEW NEW JERSEY.

In Governor Edges Hoboken Cham
night ON the necessity of the traffic
tunnel he was at his best He never
was better. He pointed out the de-
mand for unity on the forward going
progress of the state and assured the
gathering of business men that the
traffic tunnel was certainty.
Governor Edge took occasion to ven
ture the hope also that big vital
NEW New Jersey would emerge from
the present status of things, and the
kind of advancement everybody had
long desired would begin. 1t was Il
rare opportunity, he pointed out
But in connection with Governor
Edges admirable appeal for the NEW
New Jersey would it not be well for
him to adjust himself to some of the
things he himself is neglecting? Could
he not address himself, for instance, to
the NEW New Jersey on the PaliSade
Bluff road highway matter? His High
way Commission, in its diSgraceful in
Sistence of running a promising resi-
dental village by forcing a state high
way through its heart spelling the
quietude and charm of a delightful Sc
questered suburb, is not only NOT con-
tributing its share to his vision of the
NEW New Jersey, but is complacently
sitting back and grinning its head off
at the discontinue it is causing Pail
SADIE because n few SINISTER politicians
want to pay somebody back for some
thing having no relation whatever to
the home owners whose property they
are going to slice off and disfgure so
mercilessly and with such amazing
shame. If this is what Governor Edge
stands for in his ideals of the NEW
New Jersey he would do well to go out
and "brace" himself and think it over.
Take another think, governor, and
bring in your Bluff road scandal as you
kneel in prayer for guidance.

NAVIGATING THE SKIES.

When the war broke out there was
already a deal of perfection in the
airplane. The necessities of war made
men associated with airplane work
think Il lot more about how TO improve
it, To make it go was the main thing,
so the dependable motor was made
more and more perfect. One that
would run on a level or even on banks
was already perfected. But an engine
to run at any angle or inverted was
another matter. That soon got out of
the way. And now, with greater sta
bilizing power and more engine power
and increased construction strength in
metal wings and other power-all the
time more power-we have airplanes
large enough to lift and fly away with
fifty people. Enough of these would
move an army in iigtime.
Up to the present the airplane IS
remarkable. Soon it will be marvel

distinguishes himself in an article pub

not painted a picture of some people

to whom he refers in such eloquent

an accusation? Yet who can doubt
the truth of one word Editor Bird
says? Well, they will have to go to

THE LABOR PROBLEM.

The country is facing great prob
lem in the labor question. There are
some outstanding facts connected with
it hard to dodge.
Before the war started the country
was prosperous. Everybody who could
work had a job.
After the war started there were not
enough workmen, but no special COM
plant that labor was especially scant
Wages scared and have remained up.
America came out of the war much
richer than she went in. This was due

normal. In some instances they were
overabundant, but these We're largely
taken over by the government in the
way of excess war taxes.
Now the war is over, and we shall be
where we We're at when the war was
not-that is, as we were before it
started in Europe. There was no Spe-
cial worry in America over general
conditions until 1914, when Germany
began her antics that led to her down
fall. The events of the late summer of
1914 completely upset the United
States, and business of all kinds went
to pieces. 1t got all mended again as
soon as America found herself and be-
gan to see how the war would profit us
unless we got into it. But at that we
went on making large profits before
the government got any of them.
Now, here we are at the beginning
all over again. Our 100000 soldier
boys are on the way home, and many
thousands of them are stopping in the
large cities before conditions have been
actually reconciled to the postwar
conditions. If everybody had plenty to
do in 1914 why should they not have
ample TO do right now? Surely the

THE PRESIDENTS TRIUMPH.

The speech delivered by President
Wilson last Saturday before the Peace
Conference was in many respects the
most important of his life-important
in its results. His speeches in London
and Manchester We're of equal impOr-
lance, but they bore upon the process
of reaching his great climax at Paris.
The Paris speech of last week clarifies
the League of Nations atmosphere.
Already convinced and settled upon the
main policies of the great instrument
to be drawn. the address was intended
as a presentation of the principles of
the compact to the common mind, the
everyday people of all lands. Trans
lated into any language, the most illit-
crate could understand that Mr.. Wilson
meant to say that if democracy were
to be established, if small nations were
to be protected in their rights the same
as large ones, the principles for which
America stood had not been fought for
In vain.
Clothed in his usual fine dress of
and deliverance OUTLYING the Paris adj
dress. 1t seemed to meet the require
ments of understanding completely, and
in an ideal manner presented the faith
of America, her al0OfneSS from Euro
pean complexities of diplomacy, and to
reduce all consideration of a guaran-
teed world peace to the basis of per-
feet simplicity. The address must be
reread to be properly valued. 1t must
have been very carefully thought out,
for it is almost q perfect document.
SO far as the adoption of league of
nations plan by the supreme council,
the idea is not new. But the difference
lies in President Wilson's program of
establishing league of nations at the
moment when the hope of the world
needed it's bolstering influence to start
it out right on new beginning. Mr..
Wilson's idea of what a program is is
that it is worth nothing unless carried
out. AS in the banking law, the Tariff
Commission, and other great bits of
national legislation, he placed upon the
statute books, all of them had been long
desired and long debated, but aggres-
Sive opposition always Shelved them
ut the pressing moment. If President
Wilson be possessed of one faculty
more than another it is his power of
vision. His imagination sees far
ahead of the common thought, the
everyday mind. His voyage to Europe
could not be seen at the outset. Many
of his strongest supporters opposed it
strenuously. These criticics are now
all back in line, and they willingly
admit that his European presence was
a master stroke of strategy as well as
Importance. The greatness of America
was never so big as now. The European
peoples have seen our great champion
of democracy. His personal appeal
was worth millions more than the
written word. How feeble would have
been his appeal to Paris and London
and Rome had he not stood up before
the people! 1t is not longer necessary
to acclaim his greatness. n man is as
great as his works, and President Will
sons are before us.

A MYSTERY OF THE PALISADES.

The mystery of death and the TO-

For the Palisadian.


You are the spirit which within me moves
Onward to life and to hope.
You are the one who taught me to rise,
From out of my world of shame and lies;
Whispering tendery,
Knowing how slenderly
Built is this body and soul of mine.
You are the breath of the life in me,
Each inhale giving strength
You are the one who taught me to heed
The words of "Experience,' Life's only creed
You are the essence of the man in me,
Which now aims high and seeks.
You are the one who came to my side,
When was rotten and brooked no pride.
You Dottie. You.
You as the spirit of sincerity.
You as the spirit of purity.
You as the spirit which within me moves
Onward to life and to hope.
