NEW Works. WELCOME.

Up to the time of the return of
Grants victorious army from the Civil
War and it's return in 1865 over the
Potomac into Washington this country
had never before seen so pretentious
military display of cOnquering
troops. In 1898, after the victory over
Spain, the great American display in
honor of the victory of that day, real
ly inconsequential war compared to
the one now ending, the focal point of
celebration was in New York city,
where Il great temporary triumphal
arch was erected about where the pres
ent Victory Arch now stands. The
Dewey parade was the greatest show
of the kind America had ever seen,
and memory of it still lives in the
minds of thousands who saw it.
The celebration this week of New
York S own division, the gallant Twen-
tyseventh, scarcely eclipseS the Dew
ey celebration, though the present day
event was of far greater significance,
not only to America, but to the world.
Nevertheless, the parade last Tuesday

promises with which it had been her.

CRiTICISING THE WAR.

Col. NJ H. Haywood, who com
manded the negro regiment in France,
has made a public declaration in re-
cent speech denOuncing the army man
agement in almost unheard of terms.
The bad taste of Colonel Haywood is
evidenced on the face of it. Perhaps
the colonel is peeved because he was
not made a general of some kind. Had
he been promoted there probably new
err would have been whimper from
him.
And this brings out one other
thought There has been far too much
criticism of the war by the men in the
ranks. Almost any returning soldier
has something to growl about. The
officers were lordly. They ordered
their men around like so many slaves.
They put on too many airs. These
and similar opinions are freely eX-
pressed The tendency is wrong and
comes no doubt from the feeling that
instead of democratic war it was Il
war of caste.
There could not have been the uni
versal class among the officers some of
the soldiers complain of. Cads there
We're, of course The old Shake
spearean thought that men clothed
with a little brief authority became
pompous and dictatorial may have led
many commissioned officers to swag-
ger and domineer over their men. But
in the very nature of things this could
not have been the rule.
We feel sure that the men in the
ranks when they have sobered down
and reflected will think more seriously
of this thing of speaking too freely
about the shortcomings of America in
the war Their own personal records
are enough in themselves to ward off
this hypercritical thought. Each man
went into the war with determination
to sacrifice all for his country. That
the war was won after the most bril-
liant short campaign of all record
should he to the lasting and eternal
glory of this country.

THE VILLAGE r.

The Nillager is the name of high
brow weekly of four pages without
advertisements of any kind published
at Katonah, n. Y, near White Plains
We have read several copies of the
new publication, but so far have been
unable to quite catch the drift of its
purpose, unless it is put out by some
writer or circle of very well educated
men who have no higher aim than to
set the Nillager adrift with no avowed
purpose than to see their thoughts in
print. And at that the audience of the
little paper must be scant. Ii is sold
only at Brentano'S and it is question
if a dozen copies IL week are sold
there. In the White Plains section,
however, where the editors may be
widely known, it could have Il larger
number of readers. But as a paper
appealing to even average readers its
field would be more than circum-
scribed. There are a number of highly
literary publications in the country,
but the most of them are understood.
The Vilager is nothing unless liter
AIRY, and it undertakes to settle all
public issues rather more from the
standpoint of some senator, Knox or a
Lodge, than with the painstaking care
of newspaper writer. Whoever the
editor is he is not appealing to the
masses. The prime aim of the Vii
lager seems to be to hit at and to slam
President Wilson. In fact. it is easily
n form of propaganda in disguise. SO
far Mr.. Wilson has done nothing in his
career that appeals to the editor of
the Katonah publication. AT Paris he
is simply sacrificing America, and in
last weeks issue the editor fairly
flays him alive and loudly acclaims
the fact that American propaganda
has at least reached Europe and will
'.be heneeforth effectively present at
Paris, sitting next to Clemenceau of

THE BIG TWO IN ONE CIRCUS

The worlds first super-circus, the
Ringing Brothers and BarnunT 4 Bat

season at Madison Square Garden,
New York city, this afternoon, March
%. After week of strenuous rehear-
is about ready to unfold it's many won
ders before the eyes of host of anX-
iously waiting circus fans.
The announcement of the merger of
the Ringing Brothers and the Barnum
& Bailey circuses came as a great sur
prise this spring, and it is believed
that the combined shows will present
a more colossal and grander exhibition
than has ever been attempted in the
arenic world. The galaxy of circus
stars who have been rehearsing at
Madison Square Garden all week com
prise the best and greatest performers
in Europe and America All the big
gest and best features of both circuses
have been assembled on the new pro-
gram, and a great number of new for
eign importations have been added.
The circus will open with ire
mendOus new pageant, gorgeously cos
tuned and embOdying a procession of
more than 1,500 persons and animals.
Following the opening afternoon,

UP GO TAX RATES.

The report of the County Tax Board
giving the tax rate for the coming
valuations in Bergen county boroughs
emphasizes the URGENT necessity
for system of ASSESSMENT
EQUALIZATION. Citing the borough
of Fort Lee as a FORCIBLE EN-
AMPLE where the facts of unequal
valuations discloseS an ABOAl1NA-
BILE, not to say DISHONEST sys-
TEN of fixing valuations on all kinds
of property, SOMETHING NEEDS TO
BE DONE, and that quickly to PRO
TECT HOUSE OWNERS who foot
the bills.
The borough of Fort Lee has JUMP
ED IT'S RATE just 81 points within
two years. In 1917 the rate was 243,
in 1918, 2S3, and in 1919 it is 3O4.
The raises are monstrous. In 1918
assessments jumped $1,750.000 at one
clip.
But they would not amount to so
much if assessments were equalized.
The Sanford Ross and the Allison
Land Company properties have been
mentioned many times to prove the
contention this newspaper has made
that values should be adjusted accord
ing to their worth The Ross property
was assessed for years at $4,000
when it was worth eight times that,
and sold only few months ago for
100000 cash.
1t is the same with the Allison tract
of 156 acres that splits the borough
from the Hudson river to the Leonia
line
underassessed, or unequally assessed.
Everybody says don't mention the
moving picture plants. Why not?
Are they really assessed AT ALL in
keeping with even the insurance they
carry, or the tenth of it? Perhaps
Councilman Schale will enlighten us
on this point He should be in posi-
ton to know. No one wishes to dis
turb the moving picture interests, but
if they are to do business in the Dor
ough they should tote their own skill
let like other good soldiers in the vine
yard of the Lord There is no doubt
but that this interest has been welded
into a political machine of large pro-
portions and that it is being taken
advantage of every day in the year.
Does any one doubt it?
If the taxpayers will ONLY GET
TOGETHER they can put this in
iquitious system down. Calling it
rotten is a mild term. 1t reeks with
almost as much pollution as sewer.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BY H. D. r.

After 81 weeks of crowded houses at
the Selwyn Theater, 1.-The Crowded
Hour is now attracting capacity au-
diences to the Manhattan Opera
House, New York, where it bids fair to
remain until hot weather. Jane COwl
and the entire original company con-
tinue to give the superlatively excel
lent performance which inspired every
New York critic to acclaim it one of
the most brilliantly acted dramas of
the current season.
The management of the Manhattan
Opera House is giving especial atten-
ton to mail orders, when accompanied
by the war tax, the very large Out-of-
town clientele which this mammoth
theater has having been largely ac-
CURED by this method. During the run
of 'The Crowded Hour" at the Man
haitian Opera House the best seats can
be had for S15O, with 500 orchestra
seats at 81. The top price at the We'd
nesday matinee is 81.

est doubt but that certain politicians
in many places have capitalized their
so called patriotism for personal polit-
ical ends. They have used press agen-
cy methods to fiaunt the glory of their

shame of the community, many of
them. And many of them were prof

A CARD.
Palisade. n. j., Marcl

l have always known that Il lie will
travel faster and farther than any
kind of statement that may be made.
More than twelve years ago the re-
port was circulated that my home in
Palisade was donated to me by the
Hudson River Realty Company, the
founders and promoters of Palisade
as a suburb. l have on more than one
occasion denounced the party who orig
mated this false rumOr as Il man
unfit for decent society, Il man who
has masqueraded in this community
all these years with no righteous claim
to responsibility. He has money and
plenty of it, and is generally credited
as desirable citizen, principally be-
cause he has taken certain So-called
interest in the village. Now | do not
care anything about a report per Sc,
for nothing that one may say of an
other that is not true can do him any
permanent injury. But recently the
original report about my home has
taken on another angle My wife has
been verbally assaulted at the Red
Cross meetings with this nasty false
hood, and told in addition that the
furniture in our home was also a
donation from the Hudson River
Realty Company. For myself | do not
care what any one might say in con-
nectiOn with matter of this charac-
ter But l do think that it is ii mighty
mean, low down thing to trot out a
base falsehoOd to woman and tell her,
to her face, that gossip says her hus-
band is Il bride taker The. Hudson
River Realty Company never gave me
anything. On the contrary, they went
out of business owing me more than
$500 for advertising in The Palisadian.
Also, they made an agreement when
/ purchased my home that l was to do
all their advertising. Not only did
they never allow me to place one dollar

UNDERSTANDS FINE ACT.

The sudden change of eX-Attorney
General Wickersham. who went to
Paris last December fully opposed to
the League of Nations, is one of the
remarkable signs of the times as to the
trend of public opinion on this momen-
tOus question. Mr.. Wickersham took
the best means of informing himself
as to the facts in the heart of Europe.
He went there and studied the war
torn people. He felt of the public
pulse on the general desire for future
peace. He got all of his impressions
first hand, so that none of it was
through any but trustworthy channels.
Sent with mission by the New York
Tribune, newspaper wholly opposed
in principle and practice to the League
of Nations, Mr.. Wickersham gave up
his post with that newspaper and took
his own way of presenting the facts to
the American people. That he has
done this in the right spirit is evil
denced by the manner in which he has
withheld nothing of worth connected
with his investigations. He is not
backing up President Wilson more
than he is letting the real truth be
known. Republican himself and a
man of the highest sense of honor, Mr..
Wickersham saw the light and came
home to preach it.

PALISADES OPPORTUNITY.

One of the most charming villages
in the world is Palisade. Nature has
adorned it with her choicest products
of scenery and woodland. The homes
are all attractive, and not an INDECENT
family lives in town. The women,
God bless them, are the only wide
awake, live-wire, factors looking to the
progress of the village.
But what can be said of the men
plain, everyday, unpretentious Ameri-
can business men, on the large major
ity of whom fortune has smiled most
affectonately and glowingly? There
is a modicum of man-talent in Pail
SADIE that would put to blush a large
city in point of fact. But what do the
men do? 1t is not stating the case too
strongly to say that they do little or
nothing, or nothing for anything or
anybody except their personal, indi-
vidual interests. They sleep in Pail
sadie nightly. They come and go to
and from their places of business in
New York-and then it is all over. As
for getting the real JOY of life in their
residence here, few of them know the
meaning of the word so far as it re-
lates to civic duties. They put forth
less activity, less community spirit.
less feeling, less of the interest-in-Our-
town thought than could be told in Il
large book.
The wonder is why. Cannot they see
that to live this sort of life is not life
at all, but mere existence? Is Palisade
going ahead? Not so as any one can
see it. 1t is still, dormant, dull, stu
pid, inactive, dead asleep. Any town
or man that stands still is going back
wards.
What is the remedy? Several. How
to go about it? Organize with no self
ish personal thought behind the act.
Get together in the spirit of helpful
ness and above all cease the long-cOn-
tinued bitterness against the individ-
ual Men of Palisade, cannot you get
together on some form of co-Opera-
ton? Cannot you assemble once a
month for get-together talk on any
kind of subject? 1t need not relate to
the affairs of the village. 1t could be
merely to talk of why the rocks do not
emit enough heat to run a factory. 1t
could be to talk about the sun or the
flowers or national issues or the war
or even politics-anything- so
you get out and talk with each other
The thought is worthy If we consider
the future of the village. And further
more there are tendencies today at
our doors that should make us think
very seriously of our Investments here.
Already goodly percentage of unde-
sirables are coming in, and the sweat
shop is at hand under our noses, with
the neighbors powerless to intercede
because the men who do these things,
who make them possible, do not care a
hill-O'-beans for Pallsade or little else
except for their own pocketbooks.

who was himself later charged with
theft, deserted his family and fled the
country. l hope, therefore, that when
any other fool repeats these lying
statements about me they will at least
be considerate enough to keep the
thought away from the lady members
of my family. AS for the man who
instigated the reports in the first place.
he is as much of a libel upon decent
manhood as the lies he circulated are
upon truth. Harry Schall. personal
representative of what interests there
are left of the Hudson River Realty
Company, knows the truth about my
property, and I feel sure he would be
glad to tell any one the statements
about me and my business relations
with the Hudson River Realty Com
pany We're all open and above-bOard.
Because my newspaper was one of
class and reflected the character of
the village of Palisade, the company
gave me certain amount of patron
age in advertising. And from that the
Hudson River Realty Company never
gave me anything, let alone my house
and what is in it.
