INFLUENCE AND PULL.

Some men go through life in the be-
possess to insure success is Il pull.
They like to feel that they can make
progress that way, that they can ac-
compliSh things with Il pull. This is ii
mistake. The error any man makes is
in mistaking the SO called pull for in
fluence There is all the difference in
the world between influence and pull.
Pull indicates the obligation and
predicates its operations on that
basis. The falsest thing in the world
is the feeling that somebody is Obli-
gated to you. The pull is first cousin
to obligation. When we exert the pull
it is equivalent to oppression. We
may be sincerely obliged to someone
for a fine service, but to be obligated
means feeling that one must ut some
time pay back something. Debt is the
only obligation that is permissible
The man with the pull is next to a
sandbagger He eXerts it when he
wants to put over something not alto
gether on the level. The pull never
carries the quid pro quo. 1t is always
something below the belt Influence,
on the other hand, means the accom-
plishment of results through the sheer
force of power behind the fact or the
thought presented. 1t is the quid pro
quo of everything that is just and
normal. and, unlike pull, gives some
thing in return. When man says
he has a pull, it means he has some
thing ON the other fellow. The pull
is not really worth while, because it
is moral blackmail, while influence is
the God-given result of achievement
on merit.

VAGARIES OF WINTER.

The Oldest inhabitant has not been
heard from on the present abnormally
warm winter. Doubtless he will come
in later on and remember a few
things. Already hint has come over

minds one of the winter 1--WE once had

fourteen years old now, nearly, Just
when was there a winter like this in
its history? Can any one tell?
That the winter is unusual there is
no question. Perhaps old Andy Jack
DeVoe might tell us, or, ig he should
happen not to know, he could invent"

yonder time when we had a winter the
counterpart of this. AS for any COM

1.-THE INVISIBLE FOE"

One of the most significant develop
ments associated with Thomas DiXon's
production of Walter Hackett's thrill
ing play of spirit communication, "The
Invisible Foe" at the Harris Theater,
New York, is the evident fascination it
holds for our soldier boys returned
from the French battle front. From
being guests of the management
courtesy extended by all the New York
theaters-these men, many on crutches
and showing other signs of their terri
BILE experiences, have become among
the best paying patrons of the attrac
ton.
Since the opening night 1.-THE Invis-
Bile Foe has steadily increased it's hold
both upon the minds of thinkers and
upon the imagination of play-goers in
search of thrills"

A CLIFFSIDE APOLOGY

The Palsadian has learned from un-
official sources and from Mayor Ca
dian over the telephone also that at a
recent meeting of the Cliffside Board
of Council objections We're raised over
a publication made in this newspaper
last October referring to an alleged
deficit in the finances of the borough.
On motion an apology was demanded
of The Palisadian for the statement
in question One wonders why it took
so long to get to it.
While there was no intention to mis-
state facts in the news matter printed
at that time, The Palisadian is very
willing to offer an apology for the allie
cations in question, and hereby does
so. The matter was sent to the editor
by a responsible party, and no other
thought was given to it at the time.
Had there been deficit in the finances
of the borough it would have been
nothing unusual in municipal affairs.
All municipal deficits, so called, are
readily explainable by those in charge
of affairs, as in this case where ii is
now insisted that no real shortage eX-
lists, and none existed at the time the
publication was made. An apparent
deficit, furthermore, does not mean
that any one has been stealing, but
that not enough funds are available for
borough uses.
The statement is made that there
is deficit in the railroads of the
country of $25O,OOO,OOO, but this cannot
be called libelous.
How futile it would be to charge
anything against municipality, so far
as finances go. Outside of the few
who THINK they know how to present
municipal finances intelligently to the

POLICING THE WORLD.

The thought prevailing in the minds
of many world leaders that in enforc-
ing the proposed League of Nations ii
will be necessary to have fleet OF
naval police battleships or cruiserA to
look out for the proper enforcement OF
the rules of the league has soiffessow
never found lodgment in the cranium
of this writer.
Why should nations be watclsfd?
The League of Nations will be a GEN
tleman's. agreement supported by
moral sentiment alone. 1t is gratVfy-
ing to see that a few of the peace dom
greSS leaders are looking at the moral
side of the case If an agreement were
entered into to watch Germany after
the peace agreement is signed it would
be logical. Germany simply cannot be
trusted And if she is accepted as an
accredited member of the League of
Nations it will he on probation only.
The future historian will write Cow
ard after German attempts at con-
quering the world, and no coward can
be trusted.
But as for the necessity for more
than the cOvenanted word of the sub
scribers to the peace agreement that
is to abrogate world wars in the fu-
ture, it is unnecessary 1t never exist
ed, in fact. When peace comes this
time it will be complete. 1t will re-
quire no weapon to enforce it but the
spirit of all nations entering into the
compact. The simple fact that no one
nor two world powers could combine
to break the peace agreement as now
planned will make peace "A perpetual
guarantee. Just what could break into
the permanent peace plans is difficult
to understand at this time because
every safeguard will be thrown around
the compact to make it adamant and
irOnclad. The two nations that could
come nearest to upsetting any peace
agreement would be England or Amer
lea, but each is too honorable in it's
dealings to make even the thought per-
missible.

German dyestuffs and other chemical
products as well as phosphates wound
themselves in serpent Strangle about
American manufacturers of these prod

The discoveries made in the inveS-
LEGATIONS of Alien Custodian Palmer
have been amazing. And, thanks to
his unbounding energies and his un-
afraid initiative, these nests have been
so cleared from the fabric of the in
dustrial energies of the country that
fears for the future are done away
with. Germanys determination to con-
quer the world was directed as much
to industrial supremacy and control as
to military strength. But we need
neither German dyes nor phOSphates
now. We are Independent enough.

THE GERMAN REPUBLIC.

If some internal strife should not
knock the bottom out of things the
new German republic will probably
save that warlOrd ridden country from
itself. Perhaps even there may be a
chance for the new Germany to rise
to greater heights than ever before.
so far as the world is concerned, how
ever, she will have to do her climbing
and her going out on her own initia-
tive. She will no longer have the
greatness of America to lean on, and
which her brutal seltishness entered
with intent to dismember and corrupt.
She can no longer capitalize the favor
of the United States into Il bulwark
against civilization itself. Whatever
Germany attains for the future must
be in the hard knocks of the school
of experience. She will be on proba-
ton before the whole world for a long
time. Prejudice against everything
German is not going TO die down mere
ly because the German people say they

THE INSPIRATION OF A SOUL.

The story of the author of the BAT
tie Hymn of the Republic" and how it
was conceived is ii remarkable in
stance of the psychology of inspila-
ton. Few people know the meaning
of psychology in the abstract, but
whatever it means it must have rela-
tionship to both the mystic and the
spiritual. There is no doubt but that
many of the great. immortal things we
have in poetic literature have been
conceived under inspirational intlu-
ence of some kind. a daughter of the
author of "The Battle Hymn of the
Republic" says her mother always said
the inspiration for the great song came
to her as she lay awake in the early
morning and thought over the spiritual
side of Americas hopes. The germ of
the immortal lines broke into her heart
with the dawn, and she arose and com.
mitted her thoughts to paper. SO the
wonderful hymn has lived-and will
live on through the without

struction from that moment of its
birth. What strange, unSpeakable, un-
fathomable things find being in mans 5
mind from sources unaccountable

FORT LEES HIGH SCHOOL.

That there is an urgent demand for
a new high school building in the bor-
ough of Fort Lee is evident to all who
have given the subject any thought at
all. But with the present large and
increased cost of maintaining the bOr-
ough at excessive taxation, how is the
money to be raised? The trouble here
tofore in most of the school eXpendi-
lures has been in not further distrib-
uting the cost over more than one gen

fair to the taxpayer. A school build
ing of any kind should last for at
least two or three generations and the
cost correspondingly stretched to COW
er that lapse of time. Fort Lee could

high school if the cash We're not all
saddled on the present taxpayers. 1t

They must prove how repentant they
are for having yielded so long to this

and frightfulness knew neither law,

they gave the kaiser and jumkerdom
was universal, absolute and unreserv-
ed Whatever profit the pattern set
by America in honest government and
perfect liberty for her people may be,
Germany is welcome to the ideals she
may aspire to- But she cannot be
trusted for long, long time yet, re-
public or no republic. Whatever good
she does for civilization must come
through exhibiting Il contrite heart and
attending strictly to her own knitting.

it's position as the greatest theatrical

This record not only exceeds the run

ARIZONA: A PROSE POEM.

"Only facile pen, and not this dull
one, may be dipped deep enough into
the ink of temerity to attempt de-
scription of Arizona says the over
modest junior senator from that state,
the Hon. Henry Fountain Ashurst.
Well. we are not sure about that. He
dips pretty deep and drips beautifully.
Could the inkweed of most temerity
supply colors more lovely, we ask, than
these?
1.-THE rich purple tones in the distant
hills, the pearl gray touches, the deep,
translucent aZures in the arching
heavens, make up myriad glints Of
light and colors."
That is big canvas, hint of what
may be seen as the traveller lifts his
ravished eyes for a moment from Ca
terer Harvey's excellent food and
glances out of the dining car window,
Arizona as whole, SO to say. 1t is
when the senator reduces the size of
his canvas, when he paints intimate
specifications, that we find him most
alluring. Here is the Grand Canyon
il before the swimming vision: The
colonnades, pyramids, tluted pilasters,
swelling dOmeS, mosques, minarets, in
verted temples, bold eScarpmentS,
sheer cliffs and isolated mesas within
that wondrous canyon where tumbles
and rolls and bols the forbidding
Colorado river" No more tumbling,
rolling and boiling than the splendid
vocabulary of the senator.
And then there is the subject of
health, about which most of us talk
dourly and without art. But the sell
ator makes health talk SWeeter by
far than prose poem. Consider tins,
and as soon as Director General Hines
restores the two and a half cent fare
rate with StOpover privileges buy IA
ticket to Arizona, because 1t is dream
full tranquility which soOtheS the
throbbing nerve of pain. She lAri-
IONA, of coursel blows bracing, heal
ing lip and paints the rose upon the
invalid's pallid cheek
We care not what the schOolmen
may say: you'll seldom find language
dipped deeper from the inkwell of
temerity We chide the senator only
because he hints that more facile
word painter ever made nature jeitl-
Gus of her own portrait.-New York

felt the inspiration of the sunsets on
the western slopes of the Palisades.

must have so many drinks day, who
destroys himself and his fortune by
drink. The names of well fixed men
financially who have drank themselves
out of money is legion. Nearly all
steady drinkers do this, or, if they do
not, they drink themselves out of good
health, which is worse. The drunkard
is the profit maker for the saloon, and
they all know it. It. is like running
a drug store for well people. SICK
people would never support a drug
store, but sick people alone support

public so that any average man can
understand them, there are few who
know anything at all of what they
mean. This is no ones fault and may
with justice be laid at the door of a
nefariOus system. OF all forms of To-
cal government the present borough
system is probably the worst-almost
nauSeating, in fact, as it is. And this
is said here with no thought of reflect
ing upon any one except those who
wish to take it that way. How can
effective management be maintained
for a municipality where there is no
incentive of compensation? Salaries
should be paid for all service in be-
half of the people 1t is true that men
serve in places for no compensation,
and this is called altruistic In a way
it is. But emoluments should go with
the service. This is why business
manager government under a commits
sion, as provided for in the laws of the
state of New Jersey, is now looked
upon as the most desirable of any kind
of government
SO far as the Cliffside government
is concerned, it has nothing much to
learn. 1t is not far from ideal, regard
less of any other merit it may or may
not possess 1t has nothing to learn
of politics, of course, for the whole She
bang is not run as Il political machine.
But there is no ground for improve
ment in other directions. And as long
as the present system is in vogue,
where the people have as little to say
in the actual affairs as a jack rabbit,
nothing more idealistic may be looked
for. 1t is regrettable, too, or it may
be source of congratulation. Take
your pick.

NO TOLL TUNNEL.

Now that New York state has added
Il million dollars to begin work on a
traffic tunnel under the Hudson river
to join New Jersey, the project looks
like certainty. 1t will doubtless go
along unless 1t strikes snag.
But it is unfortunate for the greatly
needed enterprise that a mercenary
barrier should be placed in front of it
before it is started. 1t is asserted
that the tunnel will pay for ITSELF in
a few years from tolls. 1t should new
er be made toll tunnel. No one of the
bridges across the East river is toll
bridge. Why should not the traffic
tunnel be free? CommercialiZing a
work of this character is not desira-
BILE and should not be thought of.
