would consent to unconditional sur
render when she had laid down her
arms; when she had surrendered her
ships and submarines; when she was
virtually impotent, an arlnistice would
be considered That was how and
when peace was considered, for the
President represented not alone Amer
lea but the allies as well, and with
their consent. He was the spokes-
man of all the powers at war with
Germany.
And now, having acted the knave
about the war and its ending, Ger
many is acting the fool forsooth be-
cause the terms she asked for are not
to her liking The brutality of Ger
man instinct was never more fifty rep
resented than in her present attitude
over the drastic peace offering she has
been handed. 1t may be natural for
her to raise a howl. But if she took
swallowed it down at one gulp she
would win the worlds admiration ten
times quicker than by the inSincere
whine she is now raising. This is
what makes Germany appear at such
a disadvantage In many ways she is
better off than any nation that fought
against her except America. But as
between Germany and France and
England, Germany is in far better ply
steal condition. Each of them has ire
mendouS war claims to be paid. If
Germany had been made to pay the
whole cost of the war the verdict
would have been just Instead she
comes out with a whole skin, her cOun-
try unchanged, her people, her indus
tries intact, and the future open for
her to make her way in history on
equal terms with other nations For
the nonce she is denied the right to
enter the League of Nations, but that
she will be permanently barred is not
looked for, and Germany knows it. AS
between the roles of fool and knave
the way she plays both is superb.

SENATOR MACkAY, JR,
MUCH SOUGHT AS A
SPEAKER FOR BERGEN

Senator w. r. Mackay. Jr., of Hack
ensack is a busy man these days as
a result of his popularity and his abil-
| ity as a speaker.
On Wednesday of last week he at
tended the first meeting of the newly
formed William Il. Mackay. Jr., Asso-
citation of Palisades township at New
members present reviewed the work of
the legislature the past three years,
during which time he served as sena-
tor. He called attention to the new
budget system put in effect and told
of the passage of the tunnel bill and
New jerseys appropriation of mil
lion dollars toward that project, New
York having appropriated a like
amount. The tunnel when completed
will pay for itself by the collection
of tolls and the expense will not have
to be borne by the people of the state.
On Thursday Senator Mackay made
| the presentation speech at the Bergen
County Bowling Association dinner,
giving loving cup to the Oritani Field
Club, a winner in the recent tourna-
ment.
On Friday evening the genial sena-
tor was the principal speaker at the
meeting of the Leonia Mems Neighbour
hood Club, attended by about $50 of
the leading residents of that borough.
Among those present were the famous
artist, Mr.. Chapman. and Colonel Hal
ford, who was secretary for the late
President Benjamin Harrison. The
senator's subject was '"The Marriage
of the States of New York and New
Jersey" which gave him ample oppor-
tunity to explain the Hudson river tun-
mel bill, for which he labored so ear
nestly.
Colonel Halford, in the course of his
remarks, paid a tiattering tribute to
Senator Mackay for his services at
Trenton and remarked that so long as
such service was rendered the senator
could at all times depend upon the
support of LeOnia voters.
On Saturday Senator Mackay at
tended the banquet of the Manufac
turers' Association of New Jersey at
the TraymOre Hotel, Atlantic City,
and on Sunday met Governor Edge,
who stated that he would resign as
chief executive on next Friday noon
time. at which hour Senator William
NJ. RunyOn would be sworn in as act
ing governor.
Senator Mackay will speak at the
meeting of the Ridgewood Republican
Club this Friday evening.
AS compliment to him W. r.
Mackay associations have been form
ed at DumOnt and Palisades township,
and associations are to be formed at
Bergenfield, Emerson and Oradell.

WELCOME TO THE HOME BOYS

Palisade is planning Il great time
for May % in hearty welcome home
to the fifty odd soldier laddieS who
went to war. Good The everyday
thought gives little consideration for
what these boys really went through in
giving service against Germany for
God and country. 1t is fit that they
should be taken to our hearts at this
time and public testimonial given
them. They deserve our everlasting
gratitude and Palisade is going to take
them, every man, to her bosom and hug
them tight, God bless EN-. The COM
ing event at the Public School will be
at least one form of outward express
sion that willing community will
gladly beStow. But it won't be ALL
The coming year will look upon each
man of them striding along our road
ways and always feel, He was a sol
dier!' There is no nobler service any
man can render than to fight for his
cOuntry-hiS affairs and fires.

THE VICTORY LiREREY LOAN.

The success of the Victory Liberty
Loan was fOreseen before it started
That it finally triumphed proves that
all the American people need is a bit
of coaXing. This last loan was the sin
cereSt appeal of all, perhaps because
the war had been gloriously won and
the great strain was over 1t there
fore became a question of patriotic
pride rather than an appeal of necessi-
ty. True, the necessity existed. But
there was something very earnest in
the Victory Loan appeal 1t was not
the heart throb, so outstanding in the
fourth Liberty Loan, but rather the So
Der sided reality of inherent bigness of
purse, brain and intent.
If anything the Victory Loan was the
strongest evidence yet shown of the
depths of American love of country, as
it was also added emphasis of the ma
tons tremendous boards of almost I'M
believable wealth. In point of fact
with over $23,000,000,0O0 of govern
ment bonds taken by our people, the
sum invested scarcely scratches the
actual wealth of the country. And
what consolation it is to know that
democracy that has lived more than
40 years is still triumphant in deed
and hope for the future. AS an eXem-
plar of the best thought and truest pur-
pose behind the life of great people,
the unselfish attitude of America at
this time is exciting worlds admira-
ton that she can be so big and broad
and helpful to the balance of mankind
Peerless America is the thought of the
hour in every land. And with peace
triumphant we emerge from the black
ness of wars despairing ravages into
the sunshine of brighter rainbow of
hope arching the sky.

MOTHERS DAY IN
PALISADE MADE
NOTABLE OCCASION

Mothers Day was celebrated last
Sunday at the Union Church of Pail
SADIE, at which Rev. Guhse was at his
best in delightful and feeling sermon
on the subject of the day. And if any
| body ever heard finer tributes to the
nobility of motherhood and the posi-
ton of mothers before the world it
would be hard to pick the spot and
name the man. There was something
so felicitOus in the ensemble of the SER
mon, or, rather, talk, on Mothers Day
that not only was the interest tense
throughout the delivery, but there were
times when the emotional touches were
most appealing, and there were few
dry eyes in the congregation. In this
connection Miss Dorothy Kenworthy,
the charming GrantwOod soloist, sang
medley that was so full of feeling
that keeping back the tears when she
sang with deep feeling and expression
the songs our mothers used to Groom
in our baby days, such as "Suwan-
nee River Nearer, My God, to Thee"
Home, Sweet Home" and others, all
fectly that the appeal was earnest and
inspiring, and scores showed how deep
ly they were affected. Miss KenwOr-
thy sings with the very best of taste,
always in key and gets about all there
is in her music to value. Her cOntribu-
ton last Sunday was distinct tri-
umph
Mr.. Guhse took his text from Cole
ridge, "a mother is the hottest thing
alive" and wove around it one of the
most Illuminating dissertations on
mothers that has ever been heard in
Palisade. 1t was a gem all the way
through. He quoted many things that
had been said on the subject of mother.
He said that the emoluments of moth
erhoOd were never greater than today.
Poets had sung her praise, and at the
basis of all these tributes must be fun
damental and valuable truths, by
which not only motherhood thrives, but
by which civilization and religion must
fight their way step by step. In the
philosophy of this supreme and noble
esteem of motherhood there must be
couched the measure of human prog
ress and worth, the standard of highest
life and success, the individual quail
ties and characteristics that make life
blossom into fullnesS. 1t is no wonder
that a Jewish proverb says, God could
not be everywhere, so he made moth
erS." This may not be good theology,
but it conveys noble Interpretation of
the function of motherhood. Quoting

THE FRIENDLESS SALOON.

More than any other one influence,
the saloon contributed to the spread of
prohibition sentiment Evidence of the
strong disfavOr in which this peculiar
ly American institution was held was
found everywhere by Louis Seibold in
making for the World a survey of CON
ditionS in ii large number of states 1t
had no friends and no defenders. This
almost universal prejudice was com
mon to believers in the rational use of
beer and other alcoholic beverages and
to extreme prohibtionists. 1t was a
bond of union between two classes of
opinion radically opposed to each 9TH
er by principle
The leaders of the Anti-Saloon
League were shrewd enough to CAPT
talze this widespread feeling in the
name of the organization through
which they carried on their campaign.
They were really sailing under false
colOrs. For several years ostenSibly
they directed their campaign against
the saloon, while their real purpose
was to put under the ban of the law
the sellers and consumers of liquor of
every kind To them the use of beer or
wine in the decent surroundings of the
home was just as obnoxious as the
drinking of the worst forms of intoXi-
cants in the lowest corner grOggery.
In their zeal they made no distinction.
To these extremists the saloon offer
ed itself as an ever present ally in Win
ming the fight for prohibition. In the
popular mind it had come to stand for
a confirmed lawbreaker, for corrupt
ing power in politics and in govern
ment, and for a center of social abuses
and domestic distress. Because of the
resentment aroused against it the Sa-
loon industry received neither sympa-
thy nor comfort under attack. and its
protectors, the brewers, were unable
to clear its reputation. Against it was
aimed a moral crusade which became
IL nation wide agitation and whose pro-
moters held in contempt the personal
rights of millions of Americans.-New
York World
If the Anti-Saloon League capitalized
the deep rooted sin and crime of the
saloon it did the wisest thing ever ac-
complished in putting red liquor out of
the reach of men unable to restrain
their appetites for the murderous stuff
