others out in their place. Collectors
generally enjoy handling and rearrang-

QUESTIONABLE STATE
ADVERTISING METHODS.

Under the state law of New Jersey
the price of all official advertising is
ten cents per agate line for the first
insertion, and eight cents per line for
subsequent insertions. While this price
is seemingly high, at the same time
there is not q great deal of it for most
of the papers. There are some, how
ever, that are favored at the expense
of others. official advertising gener-
ally goes with the papers selected by
the party administration in power.
In this connection where there are
two papers in a borough, each is sup
posed to have a chance at the official
advertising pap. Fort Lee borough,
however, is an exception There are
two weekly newspapers in the borough,
The Sentinel and The Palisadian, but
only one ever gets any official adyer-
tisements. Recently the Fort Lee
Sentinel sent a letter to the council
offering its columns at ten and eight
cents per line for a tax delinquents ad-
yertisement. The HackenSack Record
at eight and six cents. The Palisadian
offered a rate of eight and six. Col
lectOr Bender then went to The Sen
tinel and asked if it would meet the
lower rate offered and on being told
it would, promptly sent the contract
to that paper.
This is not in any sense fair or hon
orable treatment. In the first place,
Collector Bender says the Hackensack
Record asked his permission to bid,
which was duly sent in, only to be
turned down cold and the local man
favored. Now, the Hackensack Rec
ord in the first place had no right to
bid for Fort Lee work against local
paper If The Sentinel was going to
be favored, it should have been paid
the legal rate. The Palisadian does
not look for or expect favOrs by the
present administration, which has been
rottener than a sinking egg, or stink
niger than a rotten egg, or both. And
Mr.. Bender places himself in a ques-
attitude in making a so-called
Saving" at the expense of the local
paper If he is in charge of the bOr-
ough advertising, he should at least
tote fair, which he has not done in
this case.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARTY,

On Saturday evening last, number
of young people gathered at the home
of Miss Ethel CARING, of West Fort
Lee, to wish her a happy birthday, and
their ardour was not dampened by the
weather either. When youth decides
to make merry, the elements are not
considered. There was lots of fun all
evening and between dancing and
games, the hours sped all too quickly
AT twelve O'Clock Mrs. CARING an
nounced that supper was ready, and
such feast as greeted their eyes, The
table was most becomingly decorated,
there were paper hats and snap
notices to keep up the fun and cute
little favors on which were written ap-
prOpriate verses.

PROHIBITION GOOD.

We may preach against prohibition
being opposed to the rights of per-
sonal liberty as mucn as we like, but
the fact remains that as a measure
forcibly protecting large percentage
of humanity against its own weak ten
denotes it is an unqualified success. 1t
may not keep the ricn man from laying
in a supply of liquid refreshments, but
the time is near when the manufac-
as forcibly watched as its sale is to-
day in most places. This will place
all classes on an equality.
There are ten reasons why prohibit
ton is good for humanity and not one
why it is not. The one big reason is
that is prevents the masses from get
ting strong drink, which is a curse to
any man who makes it habit. Nine
tenths of human misery has been
caused from liquor. No one can deny
this as statement of fact. 1t has al
ways been the greatest breeder of
crime. No one can deny this. If pro-
hibition lessons crime, it is good. If
it tends to make men think, it is good.
If it teaches men to understand that
they can do without something that
in the main is injurious, it is good. If
it puts money in the savings bank for
the sustenance of the workingman's
family, it is good.
All of the testimony from various
cities and states that have tried it say

seen the benefits of prohibition they
see it now in the bettered condition
of men and women wherever it has
been introduced

of course, would not be nearly as
heavy as the government tax of the
same character, but would produce an
adequate revenue and be less burden
some than the present system. At the
present time New Jersey is receiving
something like S12,OOO,OOO on personal
property tax. The new income tax
would be assessed on all incomes
above 81 900. The difference between
the newly proposed income tax law
and the national law would be fiat
tax rate rather than graded one.
The main features of this new tax
suggestion are reproduced in another
column of this issue of The Palisadian.
They form interesting reading Under
the present law there is no such thing
as equality of either taxation or as
SeSSmentS. This is due to a negative
system whereby the tax assessors are
sole arbiters and make up their lists
in their own way, taking little counsel
and listening to few suggestions at
any time.
If any plan of taxation can be ar
ranged that is different from the pres
ent system it will be a godsend, for
what we endure now is most iniqui-
tOuS.

AWAKES FROM LONG SLEEP
Little Town Of Koeniostein Has q

On the great main route between
Frankfort and Cologne, the little town
of Koenigstein has enjoyed an IN

itary Importance this summer, owing
to the fact that General Mangin has
made it his headquarters. The. de-

And instantly his attention is ARRESTED
by the great ruin, silent, missing pen,
upon the hill, forcing upon the pres

POSITION DiScOUR-
AGING.

There are certain facts connected
with the negotiations on the peace
! treaty that stand out, so far as they
relate to the actions of the United
States senate Reading the partisan
press, President Wilson is discredited.
That is the way with politics. Reverse
the order and Wilson would today be
acclaimed as the man of the hour, as
he really is entitled to be so rated
A handful of his own party in the SEN
ate has differed with him. A larger
number of the other side have taken
his view on the League of Nations as
connected with the treaty. 1t is a
toss-up as to which side has the best
of it, Two votes either way would
settle the whole matter. In Europe
Mr. Wilson was properly, even enthu-
siastically, received The greatest re-
spOnsibility was on his personal Shout
ders. The Republicans say he went TO
Europe unauthorized, which is not
true. He alone is authorized to nego-
tiate treaties-no one else-by the
terms of the Constitution. So this
President falls by the wayside.
Europe and the rest of the whole
world look to this country to uplift all
the balance of humanity, yet we falter
and hide ourselves in our shells be-
cause we are Americans and have so
long stood aloof from European poll
tics. What arrant nonsense. AS
matter of fact, America has always
more or less been concerned in Euro
pean politics. After bowling because
we did not go into the war sooner, the
plea is made today that when that
great cause was finished we should
isolate ourselves and stand out alone
against the whole of mankind. We are
unwilling to lend a helping hand eX.

that it is won, the rest of you help

unadulterated hoggishness. No other
country but America can pull the world
together, and we should do it with a
good heart willingly.

NO FIGHT IN MEXICO.

From the general public attitude
over the Mexican embrogliO, not much
stock is being taken in Carranza'S eff
fort to involve the United States in
war. Carranza is a political gambler.
He is taking chances in f1outing this
country over what one prominent
newspaper editor is pleased to call
"police case" We do not desire at
this or any other time to enter war
with a nation as weak as Mexico. 1t
would be no sort of a job to lick the
tarnation stuffing out of her, and it
would not take much time. Secretary
Lansing wasted a lot of diplomatic
language this week. and might have
saved it for a more material subject. 1t
may be that CarranZa will tempt us
into q row, but if he does he will find
it the best thing he ever did for his
country. A protectorate government
in the hands of Uncle Sam might civil
ize about 100000 Mexicans. If this
happens, somebody down there will
have to go. to school, and they no doubt
will learn how to behave.

LEARNING TRUTHS OF THE WAR.

The big guns of Germany and Aus
tria are making capital out of their
war records First we had Ludendorf
and Won Tirpitz in their own presen-
tation of facts as they put them into
historical records and then syndicated
in America and England. These con-
tributions probably netted the former
war lords of Germany great deal of
money, and if we are to believe what
we hear of the financial conditions in
Germany they doubtless need the
money Their contributions to the
German side of the wars history were
valuable, thrilling in spots and always
interesting. Yet throughout their en-
tire record of the almost amending
chain of events there always appeared
the unrest thread woven into the
fabric of the German government.
There was always doubt and uncer
tainty in the minds of the war makers,
for they knew that at heart heavy
percentage of the German people were
against war.
And now comes Count Czarnin to
Hungarian minister of foreign affairs,
ambassador to Bucharest, a personal
friend of the aSSaSsinated Archduke
Ferdinand and the leading official rep
resentative of the Hapsburg empire in
the critical years from 1916 to 1918.
He is to reveal the real facts about
Germany's responsibility for the war
and Austria's unfortunate position in
relation to her dominating ally
Advance proofs of Count CZarnin's
history have been shown and read in
this country. Frank FL. Simonds says
of the work:
Nothing that l have read during
or since the war has been las iHdfff--
mating or absorbingIy interesting as
this manuscript of Count Czarnin."
Thus the world is to be made wiser
again by one who, while an ally Of
Germany, was yet cognizant of other
conditions that prevailed at the time
the war was suddenly forced on an I'M
suspecting world ana which should
have made the war unnecessary. AT
least we may now learn much of the
truth about the Paris conference, the
Kaiser posing as "the elect of God,
the London conference death sentence
on the empire of the HapsburgS and
perhaps why an American solution to
the European tangles was never posi-

WHAT is FOOTBALL?

A number of the most prominent

merely a spectacular attempt to per
form certain worked-out problems il

where each side undertakes to plac
it over a certain goal post at the end
of each side of the great field wher

the tactics mean, what the formation

knows anything about and cannot e,
plain the game as it proceeds to al
other spectator. Yet with all of tn
doubt and ignorance prevalent one {

Plants Name Significant.

The spelling of Mangel-Wurzel is a
question which appears capable of be-
ing settled in different ways. What
is really interesting about the word
is the fact that it's name was altered
from Runkelruben by the German
people. At time of famine Runkel-
ruben saved the people from starva-
ton, and was for that reason given
the new name of Mangel-Wurzel, lit
orally famine root" The plant stood
the Germans in good stead during the
latter days of the recent war, thus
once more earning it's sobriquet, by
which it is known everywhere in Eng
land.-Christian Science Monitor.
