Rock Goes Through Tent

One does not have to travel to a war
zone to be bombed, according to Mrs.
II. T. Dewitt. who has just returned
from a summer camping trip spent at
the confluence Of the Lake Branch and
West Fork. 4 blast on the Lost Lake
highway one day sent large rock
hurting for a hundred yards, dropping
the stone through the tent occupied by
Mrs. Dewitt and her mother. The
stone landed with the force almost of
a cannon ball.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS SURE.

AS the days go by the opposition to
the League of Nations is gradually
weakening. 1t is going by default SO
fast that it will not be long before all
the league fighters will be scrambling
to get on the bandwagon, as Mr.. Taft
told them to do many weeks ago Last
week two outstanding events took
place. Charles Evans Hughes an
nounced that the world should have a
league of nations, and that in the dis
cussiOn of it it should be viewed as
an American interest and not as par
tisan fight This was very wise cOun-
sci from man who had been the last
Republican party candidate for the
highest office in the land To this eX-
tent he was upholding the hands of
President Wilson.
The other great event was the in
dorsement of the League of Nations
by George w. Wickersham, formerly
attorney general under President Taft.
Mr. Wickersham was sent to Paris and
advertised to be representative of
the New York Tribune. When he got
real feeling of Europe, he sent about
two or more cables to the Tribune,
with no very decided stand on any
thing. The next thing we find him
back home writing for the New York
Evening Post last Saturday most
Illuminating article of Endorsement of
the league! He says it is European
necessity and that America should
back it up to the fullest extent of her
power. The whole country is sur
prised as well as pleased ut the Wick
ersham flop. And there will be many
more. 1t has been ii glaring blunder
for the Republican leaders to take the
stand they have of discredtng Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t was the worst form
of bad politics. Mr.. Wilson had won
the supreme confidence of Europe.
He had let them believe and feel that
American friendship was not Il sham;
that we had over here the heart of Il
great people that was ready to pour
out its sympathies and its purse to
start them out on the happy road to
peace They trusted him. adored him,
and this has made his opponents both
angry and jealous. That is the whole
truth to the opposition to Mr.. Wilson.
But all of it will not stop the League
of Nations When that document
comes out in its finished shape it has
got to satisfy the world, and it will.

THE SHERIFF ACQUITTED.

Sheriff Courier was acquitted by the
jury that tried him for criminal libel
against the county prosecutor on a
charge brought by the Bergen grand
jury some weeks ago. From reports
of the trial it was the most sensational
event in the history of the county.
The daily newspapers gave it full
lengths and featured the sensational
chapters with which it abOunded.
That the sheriff was acquitted by a
jury of his peers was his vindication,
all he looked for or demanded through
the long array of testimony he gath
cred in his defense. That he put the
county prosecutor in bad light over
the county was just what he intended,
though this need not have been his
motive at the start His own reputa
ton was at stake, and he would not
have been half man if he had under
taken less than he delivered. In the
circumstances, which We're unusual,
the prosecutor was at disadvantage.
The sheriff made the printed charge
that public duty was being neglected
in cases where gamblers who had been
apprehended in obedience to the man.

few weeks. Setting aside the leading
part America has played in the culmi-
mating chapters of the rejuvenating of
the world, we may at least feel proud
that there has appeared some of God
given direction to the making of peace.
Whose hand has been the guiding one
will be taken care of in the future.
Perhaps no one brain has evolved the
shaping of the mass of details into
the finished whole that is now about
to be born of the peace council. 1t re-
CURED the strength of union, the coun-
sci of many minds and the fullness of
faith to get such a start toward the
process of peace. But now the dawn
of the great day is upon us. The slant
ing rays of the sun of peace are slow
ly piercing the armament, and hope
springs eternal at the thought of the
real day that is to come into the world
What an everlasting joy will reign

GERMANY'S BITTER PILL.

After all of her bluff and buster, all
her hell-bent war against the world,
Germany is at last brought to Il real
iZation of what her fool folly meant.
The terms of peace will contain ter
rible portion she must take, because.
as President Wilson said in one of his
last notes to Germany before the ar
mistce and which was Il part of the
work leading her into an acceptance of
the armistice, she must be rendered
''impotent" because the world could
not trust her If her power for fight
ing We're taken away, the President
said. the allies would treat her on the
basis of future peace. 1t is more than
likely that Germany thought she would
overawe the world in designating
peace terms as she had in the war of
frightfulnesS. But she is now at last
awakened from her dream. With a
puny army of only 100000, her Rhine
forts destroyed. her munition plants
leveled, her shipping all taken away,
her navy gone, the submarines in hook,
what can she do but come like Il
craven to the altar of sacrifice and
yield her all like the beaten, hated,
mistrusted foe that she is. The medi-
cine she is taking is a bitter dose, but
gall and NORWOOD would not be too
much for so hateful an enemy as she
has proven. Being too drastic with
Germany would be impossible. She
needs to be skinned alive and is near
ly getting that very thing.

REVELATIONS OF A TRIAL.

The end of the sheriff prosecutor
trial at Hackensack has proven rev.
elation. 1t opened up many long hid
den avenues and exposed many Of the
covered paths along which politicians
must travel in order to serve the dear
people. Men are announced as candi-
dates for certain office; their records
for popular approval are placed before
the public, and at the ballot box those
are chosen who have made the strong
est appeal. But they do not open the
skeletonized closets. AT this long
winded and very serious trial. in
which the prosecutor tried to prove
that the sheriff libelled him in a pub
lished article. there was brought out
a long chain of things to prove that a
form of secret warfare can exist at
our doors of justice and the public
that pays the bills be unaware of it.
The fighting between these two Office
holders had lasted for years. 1t was
virtually IA feud. Public business must
have been more or less neglected so
that one or the other of these two men
might waste InelT tlIlle Trying 10 Hliti
something on the other fellow. SO the
thing went on from year to year until
the elimination that brought the fight
to court
There are many things connected
with the politics of Bergen county that
will not bear the light of investigation,
and perhaps this trial will prove a
blessing in disguise Hereafter it
might not be bad idea to make a
man taking over public office declare
himself on the matter of bearing
grudges against some other public Off
cial with whom he shall have to deal.
There is something in this thought
worth looking into. And the Lord
knows there are enough other phoney
things connected with Bergen county
politics that might be looked into with
benefit For instance, ballot box stuff
ing has not been eradicated, and one
wonders why.

PEOPLE DEMAND A TUNNEL
WITHOUT ANY DELAY AND
WANT PROMPT ACTION

Not only has New Jersey pledged its
word on the vehicular tunnel matter
to New York, as Governor Edge has
pointed out, but the method which the
governor is advocating is the most
feasible for bringing about this i'm
provement upon which the people in
this part of the state are determined

Indifference or hostility of south Jer-
sey to plans that mean so much to the
northern counties?
Senator Edwards certainly knows
that 80 per cent. of the people of his
home county, to say nothing of Bergen
and Essex counties, are in favor of
this Improvement and are only second
arily interested in the method of
financing it. IT, as Governor Edge has
limited, the senate is playing politics it
is mighty poor politics to oppose a
strong public sentiment even though a
different plan, if proposed in the first
instance, might have proved more ac-
ceptable.
The municipalities of Hudson, Els
sex and Bergen counties are vitality in
terested in this question. The munich
pal officials should unite in a demand
upon Senator Edwards and Governor
Edge that they drop their controversy
and take steps to hasten passage of
whatever legislation is needed to en-
able work to start without delay.
The experiences of last winter and
of the two strikes that have taken
place on harbor craft within the pest
few weeks have made plain the dam
gers that Turk in delay or in attempt
ing to change the method of financing
the project which was determined up
on over year ago. A belated effort
to change the plan now savors too
strongly of disguised effort to kill it

lARvEYs HATRED OF WILSON

Was there ever such an amazing in
stance of bitter hatred of another as
Col. George Harvey bears for Wood
row Wilson? In his weekly news
paper he presents each week about
the ultimate reach of human malice and
contempt against Americas President.
All of his vituperative vulgarity, all of
his most vehement force of spleen, all
of his most volatile wrath, every ounce
of his malignant disgust is thrust into
the foremost part of the columns of
his paper and all through its pages,
of which there are sixteen only, two
columns to the page, and twenty-eight
of the last issue We're diatribeS
against Wilson. The whole is libel
upon decency, disgrace upon public
sentiment, and a reflection upon the
higher principles of journalism A
public Journalist with no higher aims
and no cleaner motives than old
George Harvey should be barred from
decent society. Claiming to have been
the original diScOverer of Woodrow

when it was generally understood that
J. r. Morgan either owned or directed

Wilson simply requested that Colonel
Harvey refrain from supporting him
because it sayored too much of Wall
Street, and he did not want anyone to
feel that he was going after the office
with that kind of label on his coat.
This so angered the Colonel that he
has never forgiven it. The things he
has done no Self-respecting man would
do. and no righteous man would ever
condescend to consider Colonel Har-

himself nor his country. He is a type

AiRPLANE CRASHES.

periments with the perpendicular pro-
peller to be operated on top of air

New York appear to possess ample
stability, but anything is liable to hap

the case of the HandleyPaige plane
accident on Monday, the gasoline feed
pipe became clogged in some manner,
and down came the whole shebang in
a swamp, nose end, in the mud and a
$4,000 crash.
The manufacture of airplanes might

assured some time, but it is not at our

THE TROLLEY STRIKE.

The action of the public service
trolley men in declaring strike
might have been expected. The union
men wanted the company operated
under their organization and the com
pany wouldn't agree. Thus the pub
lie is forced to be greatly inconven-
fenced because the two ends of Il Ia
Dor controversy cannot be brought to-
gether. AS i'm all cases, both sides
claim to be right, and doubtless both
sides have rights. But with no power
to make men yield either way the
public becomes the goat. The situa-
ton is extremely critical for work
men with families dependent upon
them, and who have long distances
to go daily. The steam railroads will
be overloaded until the strike is set
tied. and the public will have to grin
and bear it, How far arbitration will
go in the present embarrassment re-
maines to be seen. The postpone
ment of arbitration in such circum-
stances is generally due to the is
sue made by both sides-''What is
there to arbitrator" Strikes succeed
and fail by turns, and somebody is
always the loser

dates of the law had not been brought
to the bar of justice and duly pun
ished according to the laws of the
great commonwealth Of New Jersey.
The verdict in the case has left the
prosecutor in the attitude of the boom
erang thrower and showed him up as
both inefficient and neglectful of his
duties. But be this as it may, the trial
has its lessons, among them this: That
it pays to be on the level; that it does
not pay to dilly daily with ones sworn
duties as an officer of the law. The
lesson does not apply to the prosecutor
alone. There are public officials in
this immediate neighbOrhood who
might profit by this trial. The public
has it's eye now opened to these dere-
Lotions on the part of public officials
and will much more readily take ac-
count of them than heretofore.

The Saviour, he thought, had led a

Glenn Hacker was over from Camp
Mills last Sunday, attending service at
the Palisade church in the morning,
where he met many of his old friends.
He is now back at camp, waiting for
the big parade, then his discharge.
Locked in the Church.
Last Sunday morning a man was
seen to open one of the west windows
of the Palisade Church, look around
for minute or so, as though to meas
ure the distance he would have to-
go if he jumped, then all of sudden
he climbed out and swung himself
down to the coping stone that runs
around the building just over the base
ment windows. Here he chung for q
few seconds, then turned loose and
came down in the soft soil alongside
the building. 1t was raining at the
time. Going on around to the front
of the church, the man pulled out his
bunch of keys, unlocked the front
door, picked up something on the
front steps, then went within. The
man was Mr.. Logan who had gone 10
the church as usual Sunday mornings
to arrange the pulpit decorations.
Something had gone wrong with the
inner door knob. so that when he
opened the door for the first time the
knob dropped off and rolled out the
front door. When Mr.. Logan went to
go back home after his work, he could
not let himself out, so there he was
locked in good and fast. He could
do nothing with the short end of the
doOrnob bolt, it being too short to
catch hold on. Luckily he had Il
soft spot on which to alight when he
jumped. And fortunately the ElkanSi
did not see the exit through the win
