into popular favor.
They should desire to sell Repub-
licanism on the very highest projec-
ton of it's merits based on perform
ances. Some of these latter were OBJ.
jectiOnable to the American voter
along about 1912, and they declared
their protest at the polls. The latest
congressional election was slam at
the Democrats, which may be over
turned in 1920, for the Republicans
should remember that their smartest
guns were silenced by some very
shrewd political strategy by little

Paris. He may return and again con-
found the enemy. Obstructionists sell

THE cLEMENcEAU SHOOTING.

The shooting of Premier Clemenceau
Coffin, is real warning to men who
undertake to lessen the burdens of
humanity. The common mind be-
comes inflamed at caste, of which it
is insanely jealous in the belief that
the rights of the masses are being
invaded by any leadership looking to
measures beyond the power of ignOr-
ance to understand. Lincoln and Nc
kinley met tragic ends through the
Authorizations of two fools who re-
gafded them as enemies of mankind
1t is impossible to steer clear of men
of this type. There is no special WARN
ing in the Clemenceau incident beyond
the fact that dementia cannot be con-
trolled. 1t takes deep root when it
starts, and with the devilish malicious
ness which always leads the assassin's
hand, there is no telling which way or
when it will strike-or whom
The New York Tribune of Friday
cites the Clemenceau case as a warn
ing 1t We're better to say it means
more watchful care of our leaders who
are striving for the best ends in ne
gotiating the new world order But
there is little need for the Tribme's
yelled hint in these words:
'The warning is written very large.
Let not those who would push on their
own ideas engage further in breeding
distrust of nations or of the great
leaders of Il just cause who have
served humanity if ever it has been
served. The next time revolver
sounds or bomb explodes the excuse
that no such result was expected may
not be accepted"
Hearst's famous words just before
Mckinley was shot could scarcely have
been more significant than the Tri-
bune's. The difference lies in the
latter'S hidden thruSt-an attempt to
cover tracks in case anything happens.
1t could then say it didn't mean any
thing personal to any man. OF course
not.

BECK NOT REPRESENTATIVE.

The World of last Sunday places the
credit of the League of Nations large
ly upon the shoulders of eX-President
Taft, saying he shares the credit with
Wilson. If the fOOl-killer comes along
he will get Beck. If Mr.. Taft is en-
titled to credit, Mr. Beck discredits
his own party head. 1t all shows how
many different kinds of a fool man
can be-sometimes. The Philadelphia
Ledger strongly anti-WilsOn, says the
Beck speech was dishOnor to the ma
ton, and an insult to the memory of
Abraham Lincoln. The New York
Times takes a similar stand in last
Sundays issue. All over the country
the tone of the Republican press is not
in line with Beck. If the Republican
champion represents American senti-
ment, then a polecat is first-cousin to
a gentleman, and the stencil emitted
by Beck is equally offensive.

SOME FORT LEE FINANCING,

ing allusion is made in local article
elsewhere in this issue of an item of
over $4,000 for borough hall site, on
which the borough is borrowing money
from a local bank at 6 per cent. inter-
est This has grown now into scan
dial. If that piece of property were
put on the block today it would proba-
bly, not bring One-third of $4,000 Of
course no one is to blame for these
things. Your borough hall committee
selected this site long years ago with
the intention of building public
structure on it. Mayor Kerwein was
defeated by the "great, successful
New York business man. (get us a
club, pleaseD who has never yet
found avenues enough into which to
divert the borough revenues, and, of
course the town hall has been given
a back seat
An example of what money will do
if left alone is shown in this town hall
site. 1t is eating it's head off 1t
takes only a bit over 16 years for
$4,000 to double itself at 6 per cent
interest. So that it won't be long be-
fore this borough hall site will soon
have cost $4,000. -

We suspect it is the sOmnOlent voter.

REPUBLICAN oBsTRUcTIoNlsTs

That the Republican party leaders
are doing everything in their power to
discredit President Wilson in anticipa
ton of the 1920 election is readily seen
from their behavior over the League
of Nations. Their methods of Obstruc-
ton are scarcely to their credit and
are liable to react. There are two
things the leaders should know: %
That the falsest basis on which to sell
anything is on the dement's of another
line of goods; (2) That abusing a par
ty without warrant nine times out of
ten reacts.
The Republican party has something
to sell-its principles. Now, these are
good, bad or Indifferent, according to
the performances of the party itself
The people are the final judges.
Fighting Wilson by discrediting his
work, which outranks that of any 9TH
er man in a century, according to the
worlds estimate of leadership, is. the

THE CRITICS AND BURGLARS.

Certain thin skinned people who are
afraid to open their mouths about pub
lie affairs for fear of doing injury to
the reputation of the town are sending
the Palisadian messages of protest
about what it publishes on the subject
of burglaries that have taken place
here.
For the benefit of these critics we
would say that we have done only our
duty in giving publicity to such mat
tiers. We have a wholly incompetent
administration of our public affairs.
The proximity of Palisade tOa New
York, like Hoboken, makes it an easy
mark for burglars.
The stubbornness of the administra-
tons police officials in NOT giving
Palisade at least twice as much pro-
lection as any other part of the bor-
ough is most reprehensible. Every
body knows this.
The functions of a community news
paper are to print only what is juStitia-
BILE news, and we defy anyone to cite
a case where this has not been done
with this newspaper. Those who crit
icise the Palisadian condOne lot in an
administration that is AT THE PRES
EMF TIME ON THE RACK IN EVERY
QUARTER OF THE BOROUGH.
The BEST people of Palisade are not
the ones that criticise the Palisadian
1t would surprise the public to know
the names of some who have sent in
concentrations of our course.
We shall be glad any time to ex-
change bad piece of news for good
one

TAFT TO THE RESCUE.

Our rotund, jocund eXPresident,
the fore in an immediate and admira-
BILE defense of the League of Nations.
He sees little in it to confuse and
everything to be joyful over He has
been fighting for the same principles
ever since the war began and is ac-
quainted with the subject. He there
fore speaks with knowledge when he
pronOunces judgment upon the cOnsti-
tuition read last week before the peace
tribune at Paris. AS it stands, and
without alteration in single particu-
lar, Mr.. Taft accepts the League of
Nations without the change of a pune
tuation point. In closing his review he
says:
Now that President Wilson brings
back to us a real league and has
fully made good his announced
purpose, it would greatly please
the country if the senators could
give him unanimous support. The
ii nations have done so, why not
the senate? Such action would be
heard around the world with ac
claim. Article 10 covers the Mon
roe Doctrine and extends it to the
world
The league is not a supersOver-
eign, but a partnership intended to
secure to us and all nations only
the sovereignty we can properly
have, that is, sovereignty regu-
lated by international law and mo-
rality and consistent with the
same sovereignty of other coun-
tries. The United States is not I'M
der this constitution to be forced
into actual war against its will
This league is to be regarded as
Il conflict with the advice of Wash
ington only with Il narrow and re-
dictionary viewpoint. Let us hope
that Il forward looking senate will
not seek to defeat this grand adj
vance of mankind toward a just
and lasting peace.

BERGEN COUNTY GIVEN
HIGH RANK ON METHOD
OF KEEPING ROAD BOOKS

The New Jersey State Chamber of
Commerce is circulating the REPORT
of the commission which investigated
county and township highways. 1t is
a very comprehensive document, deal
ing thoroughly with road matters and
recommending the unifying of the q
counties of the state in a highway sys-
TEN comprising the entire state.
The investigators complimented the
accounting of Bergen county in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
ut is only lately that the counties
have attempted to introduce better
methods of bookkeeping. Some of
them, particularly those of Bergen
county, have much to be commended,
but others are little better than no
records at all"

A KANSAS MoosER KICKS.

William Allan White, writing for
the New York World last Sunday an
article dated January 81, dissecting
the proposed League of Nations, at
which time he knew nothing whatever
of what it was to contain, takes Presi-
dent Wilson's Fourteen Points and UNI
dertakes to say that they do not form
much of a basis for the league. There
are so many objections to them as a
whole that their real meaning he puts
under five heads, and then says the
Socialists would not only include all
the Wilson plans but others of their
own Why he did not include another
League of Nations plan from some
other man or country is not made
clear. The fear is that perhaps Mr..
White may be biased. Most of the
Presidents critics are. In the mean
time, the constitution of the real
league is out and has set the whole
world to talking, just as it was intend
ed to do. And Mr.. Allan in a special
wire to his paper last Sunday paints
the picture of the session of the peace
council in the following cold terms:
"Outside, a gray, ShadOwless day,
misty and luminous Inside, a drab
company of modern men, with but one
ground, present, conventional and I'M
interesting of figure and form, and be-
yond and all about the dull, undraped
building ranged an orderly city, in an
ordinary civilization, in an orderly
world, waiting to receive in most
undramatic manner document which
may change the course of human de-
velopment on this planet"
He says the day was gray and
shadowless," yet admits it was misty
and luminous" Now, how can any
thing be like that? How can there be
luminosity in a mist? We fear that
the versatile Mr.. White makes a false
smile, else his comparisons are bad
OF the members inside he says they
were a 'drab company with "but one
ground" Now how could there be
ground" inside? Mr.. White is IA
nous word scene painter, as we recall
from his great political novel, "Strate-
gems and Spoils," published some
eighteen years ago. He appears, how
ever, not to have improved in picture
painting since that time, for the every
day reporter would not have drawn so
saffron "a picture as his of the birth of
the League of Nations.

A WORLD IN PROTEST.

Following the great world war just
closed there is apparently more trou-
BILE getting a right start along the road
to future peace than there was to get
into the war itself.
The whole world has resolved itself
into a debating society.
Everybody is right; everybody is
wrong.
Today England agrees with America
as to . proper course to pursue, only
to find France like an obdurate child
the next morning
Japan concurs in the peace paeon
one minute, the neXt she wants more
Pacific coast possessions.
The constitution of the Society of
Nations is no sooner presented than
one hears of its many-sided weak
neSSeS
The whole world is bore!
Nobody can do anything right.
A year ago we had great President.
Now he is jacSass, or worse.
What is the matter, anyhow?
We appear to be living in an age of
protest.
Nobody knows how to get a start in
the right direction any more.
Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Wilson (the stain upon
America, Beck says), the wisest men
plan for peace, but they merely garble
things.
They don't know enough to get out
of a shower of rain.
Newspapers that year ago were ac-
claiming Wilson as world liberator,
the emancipation of mankind, are today
loudest in condemning his incapacity
for anything worthy.
The old world is in a fret and
stew.
The war didn't make us sick.
1t just stirred up the bile.
Who is to blame?
Why, Wilson!
Who else could be?

THE RHINE IN ITALIAN HANDS.

The Rhine has been regarded as be-
longing politically and unsteady to
Germany An Italian of creative gen.
ius about 80 years ago invaded this
Teutonic territory. New York has had
it's first hearing of the results of that
invasion at the Lexington Theater
The hearing certainly has been inter-
esting.
When Alfredo Catalani wrote the
'Lorely" he was under the influence of
German music as well as of the Rhine
That influence is to be seen in some of
the crashes of woodwind, drums and
cymbals, in the occurrence and recur-
renee of phrases recalling the Wag-
merriam method. But woven into the
Germanic legend of the Loreley is the
Inevitable Italian softness of which we
find so alluring an example in Puccini
the Latin warmth and passion and
ebullient romanticiSm.
1t has been said that Russian COM
posers, in greater degree than any
others, are interpreting the soul of the
East to the West Here is an interpre-
tation of the North through the soul of
the South that is amply worth hearing

BAILEY WILLARD, SUCCESS.

Bailey Willard, formerly of Palisade
once a resident of California and now
living there again, after trying his
fortunes with an agricultural publica-
ton at Los Angeles, is now editor of
the San Francisco Bulletin, a popular
afternoon paper of that city. Mr..
Willard, according to a rumor that has
reached The Palisadian, is reaping the
reward of his long career as a writer
and newspaper genius. The Bulletin
is owned by an old personal friend
of his who long wanted him as editor.
Willard is a man of the people, demo-
cratic to his finger and toe tips, and
has more good ideas springing out of
his head in a minute than most men in
his line get out in a year Report
says he gets $4,000 a year-not half
enough. AS soon as he got the swing
of things on the Bulletin, it began to
feel the spur of his leadership He

simply trimmed things And after all,
trim is wonderful thing. We trim
a house to give it finish. Without 1t,
rough edges would always show. We
trim the sails of boat to make it

to make ourselves go straight. Trim
is the finish of anything, and Mr. Mil

THE CONTEST.
BY Samuel Minturn Peck.

BY Samuel Minturn Peck.
Within his forest kingdom
Decreed the Elfin King
That all the birds in wingdom
For a prize should sing.
Oh, there was great excitement
The feathered minstrels all,
They knew not what it quite meant,
But each obeyed the call
Yea, every piping gallant
However devoid of skill
Resolved to show his talent
At whistle, boot or trill.
His feathers preened with neat art
Upon a bough of spring,
Each softly eyed his sweetheart
Ere he began to sing.
Passion stirred invention,
And Linnet, Lark and Dove,
Unneedful quite TO mention,
They caroled all of love.
Who won? The triller fieetest
Was the Lark at heavens gate,
But little bird sang sweetest
Amounting for his mate.
