it they fought against the Ameri-

the Second Philippine Republic, when
America redeems her promise.
The colors of the Philippine flag
are red, white, blue and gold. 1t
consists of two stripes, one red and
the other blue, the blue being on
top. At the end near the staff there
is a triangular space which is white
in color, at the center of which there
is a sun having eight rays. At each
corner of the triangle there is star.
Both the sun and the stars are in
gold. The triangle stands for broth
erhood; the sun symbolizes the ORR

provinces originally declared in a
state of rebellion against Spain; and
the three stars represent the Island
of Luzon, the Visayan Islands, and
the Island of Mindanao, respectively.

MULFoRD's PHILOSOPHY

Prentice Milford was born in 1885
and lived until 1901, most of his ac-
tivity being as New York newspaper
man.
His philosophy is simple version
of Emerson as applied to material
success, bodily health and the gener-
al conduct of life-a widely adver-
tised correspondence school of sales
manship having taken its basis from
the thought of Prentice milford.
His writings are for the most part
in five small volumes under the gen
eral title, "Your Forces and How to
Use them" and from which the fol-
lowing epigrams were derived:
Thoughts are things.
When you think you are at work.
Evil of any kind is but temporary.
Peaceful thoughts are a construc
tive force.
prayer is a desire expressed or
uneXpressed.
Poverty comes largely from a fear
of assuming responsibility
New thoughts and ideas bring new
strength to both mind and body.
Goodwill is the stronger force
and will overcome the force of ill
will
Expect nothing but health and
strength-let them be your day
dreams
Our bodies decay and lose vigor
by thinking the same old set of
thoughts.
Quarreling, angry argument and
grumbling put out a silent destruc-
tive force
Every discordant thought towards
others is a sword and brings out a
sword in return.
Every impatient thought or act, no
matter how small, costs us an I'M
profitable outlay of force
Your thoughts act on others for
or against you
The thoughts of success in an
honest plan of business bring an
unseen aiding force to you.
When you fear misfortune (Which
usually never happens) your body
becomes weak and your energies be-
come paralyzed.
We are as members of society all
| of one body; if one of that body is
diseased of mind or body or be in
| poverty, all must in way suffer.

WILSON AND LINCOLN

If a poor, unimportant somebody
might venture an opinion about
things in general, and some in par
ticular. we would venture the opinion
that as regards the treatment of the
treaty at Washington it is having a
helluvatime.
1t is the longest drawn out wran-
gle over petty prejudices in party
politics that ever was, perhaps, and
while things are not yet gone to the
demnition bowwows, the situation is
indeed most perilous.
OF one thing the country may be
sure, however, and that is that no
President of the United States was
ever so roundly abused by party OPP
ponents as Mr.. Wilson has been
except Abraham Lincoln. The only
thing they didn't do to Lincoln was
to boil him in oil, but foe finally
shot him to death. Mr.. Wilson has
been roasted to turn, but he still
survives, thank God, to at least try
his damdest in leading his country
in the right direction.
And maybe history will take care
of Mr.. Wilson as it has Mr.. Lincoln.

BIG BUCK NEGRO THIEF ENTERS
FORT LEE HOMES IN DAYLIGHT.
GETS HAUL.

Fort Lee has been bothered with
thieves, the last week and in broad
daylight, too. The home of Mr. and
Mrs. Klingberg on Lemoine avenue
was entered at three o'clock on We'd
nesday of last week, and in addition
to money, a cello worth three hun
dred dollars and a violin, were car
ried off. The thief is reported to be
tall negro, and also entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Daley, on Cen
trail avenue.
The negro calmly walked up to the
front porch of the Klingberg home
and using a master key, entered the
house and selected just the things
he wanted. Mrs. Klingberg was not
at home, but later in the afternoon
neighbors saw tall negro fairly lad
en- with things, walk down Lemoine
avenue and board trolley car for
the ferry. No doubt this is the same
man who caused havoc in Leonia last
week. The police are on his trail.
Mr.. Klingberg is especially distress
ed over the loss of his cello. Aside
from it's intrinsic value, it Is one of
his cherished possessions, as all mu-
steal instruments are to musician.
The students of the Fort Lee High
School held their first dance of the
season on Friday evening, November
Z in the auditorium of the school,
The gymnasium of the Fort Lee
High School has been undergoing vast
Improvements. The entire room has
been painted and the wainscoating re-
inforced, so that now there is no
danger of the young bloods going
through the wall when engaged in an
enthusiastic basket ball game. In ad-
dition to all this "sprucing" up the
gym boasts of a new climbing ap-
paratus which is very popular. Bas-
ket ball practises are held regularly,
and every one is looking forward to
a repetition of last Winters excel
lent games.

went before the voters not with any
degree of right regarding prohlol-
ton, but more on the plea of saying
to them, I'VE believe prohibition is
unconstitutional, therefore, vote for
me and I'll fight to have the matter
righted." He should have added, IF
| can" Taking him at his word, he
got a sound majority on his plea, and
this is the kind of stuff shrew politi-
clans are made of. The election of
Mr.. Edwards was in no sense an cleo
ton of right, but of chance. This is
good governor. He doubtless will
make as good a head of the state gov
eminent as any man who could have
been selected. Any man who can get
away with his case as he did has
in him. Senator Edwards
had many stiff things to fight in his
campaign, but he appears to have
been the master of his own progress
and he made good Roadway from the
start. There was never time when
the contest was really in doubt-not
one. The Palisadian is pleased to
have been one of the good Edwards
guessers. The taxpayers have no just
reason to regret his election. Only
his political opponents see danger to
the interests they represent, not
those of the people at large.

NOVEM 3 E r.

With the opening of November be-
gins to come real thoughts of win
ter. 1t is not a winter month, but
there are seasons when it so asserts
itself as to make itself fit for win
ter in any climate. Some of the real
bad snow storms loom up in this
month, though it is by no means
period of bitter cold. There are those
who believe in the weather theory
that as goes November, the winter
will go the other way, meaning, of
course, that cold November indi-
Gates warm winter, and vice versa.
But no one really knows any theory
of weather that is workable. 1t
might snow three times in November
three years in succession, and the
fact would be only coincidental. AS
matter of fact, weather is something
that just happens. There is no way
of getting out how it is going to hap
pen. Old man DeVoe, the hit or miss
oracle of Hackensack, claims to be
IS per cent successful in his prognos-
tications, when as matter of fact
he is more than that percentage the
other way. When he guesses right
he is elated. When he misses, he
says, well, we have to miss some
times" Nobody has it on him for long.
But there are years when Novem-
Der possesses all the charm of Oc-
tober, the jewel month. The real In
dian summer month is November, for
when it is warm in November, it is
languid like summer sometimes. AS
time passes, and the world gets used
to what was the most distinguished
day in that great contest of the ma
lions of the world, the recent war, No
vember is going to be thought of the
oftenest because the armistice was
on the 18th of November, 1918. And
it was the most momentous day in
it's meaning for the worlds future of
any day in the worlds history. If
found a waiting and exhausted world
ready to drop for joy at the mention
of peace which had been prayed and
fought for for four long and desper-
ate years. 1t may be that November
II in years to come will be the most
illustrious day in the annals of time.
Indeed, it is almost sure to be, for it
will mark the actual remaking of the
world that had somehow almost CON-
pletely lost it's direction.

you CAN GET 1T SOMETIMES.

Now that New Jersey has declared
this prohibition thing Ubiquitous and
abominable, you can get a drink some
O. the time, at others you cannot. A
New York Tribune man last week I'M
dertook to go the rounds of New Jer-
sey cities to study the situation, got
as many drinks as the law violators
would risk, then got back to his office
quite able to write very decent and
amusing article. Well, there is a whole
lot of booze tied out, some of it bur-
led in the earth and no chart made
of where it is. But there is this fact
apparent, there is not 1.-THE as much
whiskey being drunk as before the
law went into effect, and won't be,
either Where politics stands in with
the saloonerers, it is easy picking to
get it. But most of the older chaps
are moving with great caution and not
taking all the chances.

Fort Lee Department
Fort Lee Pioneer, Charles Wilson,


Fort Lee Pioneer, Charles Wilson,
Dead.
Mr. Charles Wilson, of Palisade av-
enue, Fort Lee passed away at his
home on Tuesday afternoon in his
88th year. His death was sudden and
unexpected as he had been in good
health and in a CHEEKY mood an hour
before His grandson, Arthur Will
son, found him in his workshop. Flu
neral services were held on Wednes-
day evening at his home. 1nterment
was Thursday morning at the Edge
water cemetery.
Mr.. Wilson was one of the Oldest
residents of Fort Lee, in fact it might
be said that he was one of the pion-
GERS, having come to Fort Lee when
Main street was the only road run
ming through the village and which
was then called the Hackensack Plank
Road For years both he and his
wife acted as sections for the Church
of the Good Shepherd and her death
several years ago was sad blow to
him.
Mr.. Wilson was Familiarity known by
every one and numbered among his
most cherished friends, the late Thorn
as Dunn English, author of Alice
Ben Bolt" who wrote those immortal
lines while living in Fort Lee. Like
Mr.. English, Mr.. Wilson loved the viii
lage with the fondness of child and
although he did not express it in
written verse, he was never weary
reciting tales of the old town that
VISA, when honeysuckle and wisteria
adorned the houses on Main street
and when high finance was coach
and three.

Thoughts of the Day
CAUSE FOR WONDER

How astonishing it is to see the way
the professional politicians dodge a
real issue, when it does not suit their
purpose! And they blind their follow
ers in the same way they blind them
selves. Chairman Hayes of the Ma
tional Republican committee recently
issued an address to the public, in
which he stated that Capital and labor
and the Public should get together
in all justice and settle the labor
question. Why does he not name the
Land owner? 1t is the same on the
Democratic side. They deliberately re-
main silent on the one point they
know is the crucial.

PLAYED HIS CARDS WELL.

There were two outstanding fac
tors entering into the recent election
in New Jersey. The first was the
edge machine which was all encom-
passing, taking in about everything
there is worth while controlling in
the State. The next was the scare
crow of prohibition. There may be
something behind the national pro-
hibition as passed by Congress that
we do not yet comprehend. 1t may
or may not be constitutional, but I'M
til the case is fully determined by
decision of the Supreme Court of the
land we can do nothing more than
wait till that is rendered. So until
the final end is reached through that
channel the national law stands, and
it will be illegal to engage in liquor
traffic of any kind after January 16

THE RIGHTS OF LABOR.

The American Federation of Labor
has braced itself against the admins
tration at Washington with a re-
markable fanfare of trumpets and
gesturing headed by Mr.. Gompers, of
course. 1t is not altogether sure that
Mr.. Gompers is not going mite too
far in his wholesale defiance Of edicts
from the head and seat of the govern
ment. 1t may be that some fine
morning he will wake up to reali-
cation of this fact. The right to strike
is one thing, the right to defy is an
other So long as the American Fed
Grafton leaders hold themselves with
in the pale of the law, there can be
no question as to their rights and
none will be raised. The great trouble
with the present situation, however,
is that Mr.. Gompers assumes
far too much. He is becoming ultra
radical. No one wants to see labor
denied a single thing to which it is
justly entitled. On the other hand,
no one can countenance any spirit of
greed. The American FEELING was
deeply anu Sig SAPiS ooSN
the other day at the Massachusetts
ballot box. 1t VIII be asserted in
other directions, also. Labor should
felicitate itself that it has chosen so
able a man for its leader as Samuel
Gompers, but when that is said all is
said No one man can set himself up
as dictator in this country. 1t is not
that kind of a country, and the rights
of it's citizens do not deserve any
kind of treatment that is not fair and
just ,
Gompers has seen fit to quote Alb
raham Lincoln on labor's rights, in
which Lincoln said that as between
capital and labor, the latter should be
given preference. Lincoln did not
say what he did on that subject with
that meaning-that is, not at the eX-
pense of justice. The heart of the
world is in sympathy with all men
who earn their bread by the sweat Of
their brow. But for labor leaders to
attempt to run roughshod over ira
dition and right, will not be counte-
nanced. The American heart has
always been right, though this is
stoutly denied by some who are lead
ing labor today. But whatever else
may be said, no one can deny that
with the high cost of living, the pub
lie has not complained at all about
the rise of wages. Whether wages
stay where they are, or go higher or
lower will depend upon production.
Germany had a great expensive mill
tary machine, but her people are
buckling down to the task of produc-
ton and that means practice Amer
lea could initiate and would but for
the eternal strike. When the peace
treaty gets settled, perhaps the labor
fight will end, or at least it will not
further retard production.

WELCOME TO OUR SHORES

How fine it would be if we could
convey to the foreigner taking out
his papers to become citizen, the
idea that he obtained thereby share
in the ownership of the soil of Amer
lea! 1t is very much of hooking to
tell him he is in the land of Liberty,
that is liberty to starve unless he
can get work and that he can't work
unless he belongs to Union. That he
must pay entrance fee and then
keep up his nsnthly dues, and if
there is job open he may be fortu-
nate enough to get job. Workingmen
should be welcome to this country in
stead of being regarded as rivals to
drive other men out of work or lower
wages.
