SON OF JERSEY
MAY Be PRESIDENT
Nicholas Murray Butler, Born in
Elizabeth, Is Regarded as
States Favorite Son.
WIDE POLITICAL EXPERIENCE.
His Life and Training Such That Both
His Candidacy and Service Would
Be Able and Insure Pros
perity to Nation.

Nicholas Murray Butler, who has
been proposed by his friends through
out the nation as the best fitted of all
the candidates for the Republican
nomination for President, is son of
New Jersey, having been born in the
city Of Elizabeth in 1863 Shortly after
his birth his parents removed to Pat
erson, N. j., where he grew up and re-
manned until some years after reach
ing his majority.
Paterson is rightly called "beehive
of industry" Everybody worked in
Paterson when Butler was boy there
During the two first vacations after
he had reached big boy estate he be-
gan the normal life of his environment
by working in his fathers mill, getting
wages just as other boys did, no more
and not penny less.
1t was In an atmosphere Of work
that he grew up-an atmosphere in

Really Free Countries.

Armenia is to be made a republic.
Will the government be so asinine as
to collect custom duties on food and
machinery that is to be sent into the
country to relieve the famine and
build up the people? Where will they
get revenue if they don't? 1t is in
credible. The same rule holds for the
Holy Land. Fortunately we have sub
mitted to us the proposed Constitu-
ton of the Holy Land, part of which
runs as follows:
2. To insure in the Jewish National
home in Palestine equality of oppor-
tunity, we favor policy which, with
due regard to existing rights shall tend
to establish the ownership and control
of the land and of all natural re-
sources, and of all public utilities by
the whole people.
3. All land owned or controlled by
the whole people should be leased on
such conditions as will insure the
fullest opportunity for the develop
ment and continuity of possession
5. The fiscal policy shall be framed
so as to protect the people from the
evils of land speculation, and from
every other form of financial oppres-

SAW BIRTH OF GREAT MEN
Year 1909 Was Remarkable for the
Advent Of a Number Of Personages
Who Won Distinction.

During 1909 occurred the births Of
more distinguished persons than in
any other year of the last century. 1t
Is, of course, just possible, though
not at all likely, that during one Of
the last few years of the century
there may have been born children
whom the future will prove to be as
great as those who saw the light in
1919, but all probabilities are against
1T. 1t would be truly marvellous should
any one Of those years have brought
into being celebrities whose names
shall one day rank with those of the
Americans Lincoln, Poe and Holmes;
the Englishmen Darwin, TennysOn and
Gladstone and the English woman
Elizabeth Barrett Browning; the Ger
man Mendelssohn and the Pole Chopin.
These names stand for achievement in
craftsmanship, literature. music and
science that must remain unparalleled
so far as human intelligence can fore
see. The eighteenth century had such
year in 1859, which has been called
'The Year of Great Babies"
The conditions of unrest, of enfran-
chisement, the opportunities that came
to these notabilities in their youth can
hardly be repeated.
To those who believe in the mystic
properties of numbers there will be
significance in the fact that to 1909 be-
longs series of significant dates that
seem to be connected in some occult
way with human liberty. Though we
may admit that there is no real signifi-
canoe in the condolences, it is at least
interesting to know how many dates
ending with the figure 9 have been
notable for marking eras in human
freedom.
Beginning with the Christian era,
the year 9 saw the first great victory
of the Germanic tribes under Hermann,
or Arminius, the first rising of that
power which was to destroy the Roman
empire and make civilization Germanic.
The year % is the date of the Cruel
fixiOn, most significant of all in the
history of human liberty.

Fiume Question Solved.

Free trade makes for peace, and
ends disputes between nations for ter
ritory The final disposition of Fiume
will show this truth If Jugo-Slavia
can get goods freely shipped in and
out of Fiume without taxes laid on
the goods, she has no cause of COM
plant, and has no reason to occupy
the city, provided the freedom of
transit is made absolute and guaran-
teed by the powers. Free trade be-
tween the states of the Union has
made peace forever certain in this
country. The Civil War was brought
on by the struggle to restrain the
slave trade. The south wanted free
trade in slaves. The north was de-
termined to prevent it's extension into
new states. Hence the war. Lincoln
declared for prohibition of the trade
altogether. SO will the prohibition
of the liquor traffic be generally ac-
cepted in the end

Good Old Dudeen Coming Back.

History moves in cycles. SO the
corncob pine. It's coming back to pop
ularity. One finds it on the street, in
the workshop, behind the polished
doors Of the bank directors rooms. 1t
is an old friend, returning in it's old
dress.
The reason? Just because, perhaps.
Increased-inflated prices of cigars,
some charge-have driven thousands
Of cigar smokers back to the pipe. And
pipe smokers know that there is none
so sweet as the Missouri meerschaum.
1t, for decades, has been the fisher
mans standby, and the hunters, and
the outdoor mans in general. The
briar, the meerschaum and pipes of
various clays and woods have their fol-
lowing. But any of these devotees are
glad, once in while, to pick up one
of Mark Twain's favorite bowls, load
her up to the top and pull for the
shore.
The corncob pipe is cheap in price,
but is worthy a potentate's pocket,
when it comes to solid comfort. Watch

man, the chief subject of conversation,
the chief topic Of thought. The idler
was regarded as a disgraceful crea-
ture. People were interested in work
only or they were not worth knowing.
Schoolmasters were the sons Of work
ers, and most Of the clergymen had
similar histories.
There were two summers Of mill
work for young Butler, then he began
to teach and wrote for the New York
Tribune and the Paterson Daily Press.
His was a political family, his IA
ther having been chairman Of first his
County Committee and then of his
State Committee. The elder Butler
was as keen as his distinguished son
has been in the study of American po-
litical life and systems and in work
for the improvement Of both, but, like
his son, refused Office. Mr.. Buffers
daughter is today the captain of the

Early Entered Politics.
Nicholas Murray Buffers early po-
litical experience was full Of satisfac
tion for SO young a man, although it
was marked by the refusal Of rather
than by election to public office A
purely political career was suggested
to him by Republican no less distin-
guished and important than Garrett A.
Hobart, later vice president of the ma
ton and at-that time one of the most
powerful Republican leaders in New
Jersey and the nation.
The Buffers and the Hobarts were
neighbors, and when Nicholas Murray
Butler left college it was Garrett A.
Hobart's own suggestion that he be-
come a candidate for the New Jersey
assembly.
The thought was tempting, but there
had grown in young Butler another
which conficted with the possible
qualification of this. Even as long ago
as that he quite understood that the
nations of the world were interdepend-
ent and that fully equipped Ameri-
can must know, preferably at first
hand, many things about other coun-
tries. y
The young man went abroad and
there laid the foundations for his ex-
traordinary friendships with men of
the first Importance in European af-
fairs, friendships which he never has
abandoned and which have been of
great value to all concerned. He came
back much benefited, and Mr. Hobart
saw 1t instantly. Again the older man
suggested to the youth a political ca
reer, but at the time to follow the sug-
gestion was impossible, for young But
Ter never believed that politics should
not be regarded as the means to a
financial end, holding the view that
they may be legitimately so regarded
to be perhaps the greatest peril threat

reason that so many votes are cast for

Citizens Club Has
Evening of Praise
For Local Utilities

The adjourned January meeting of
the Cliffside Citizens Club was held in
the Masonic Temple, Grantwood, on
Monday evening, February 2. Presi-
dent Hearn called the meeting to order
at S:15 o'clock.
During the session the members
present displayed keen inquisitiveness
regarding borough matters and lively
discussion prevailed. Dull moments
were few and far between. Committee
reports were interesting and encOurag-
ing and reflected unified endeavor on
the part of the chairmen to discharge
faithfully the work allotted to them
in behalf of the club.
The Board of Health was commend
ed for its splendid work during the
present scOurge of sickness. Very
close attention to isolated contagious
cases has checked the spreading of dis
ease and it is comforting to know that
every means of precaution is being en-
forced to protect the health of our
people.
The fire department was commend
ed for the fine work it rendered at the
Division street fire last week, for what
might have been a complete devasta-
ton of an entire block resulted in the
loss of only one frame building. Nick
Mahoney, by quick thinking and faster
execution, rescued several people from
the burning building and his act of
bravery also received meritorious men,
ton.
The committee in charge of the
smoker held last month in the Masonic
as the speaker of the evening Judge
Mccarthy, who delivered one of the
finest addresses ever heard by the
hilltoppers. The committee was dis
charged with rising vote of thanks.
The School Board, through its presi-
dent and vice president, was asked for
a report on school matters. An inter-
esting review of this important work
followed. Questions were freely asked
by citizens and willingly answered by
the above mentioned officers. A sketch
of the coming budget was outlined as
against the last budget. Allotments
for teachers salaries and operating
expenses for the coming year will be
larger than for the past year to cope
with the abnormal condition now exist
ing. The educator prepares the mold
for future citizenry. Education is the
mystic foe of unrest and upheaval. and
in the future will be the principal force
in defeating the isms now so prevalent.
A resolution will be presented to the
voters at the regular school election on
February "a to authorize the eXpend-
ture of $1,000 for teachers bonuses to
equitably adjust comper~"4'~'> f~r the
past year.
The question of school trustees was
discussed. Three trustees are to be
chOen at the coming election to be held
in the high chOol on Tuesday n~o"'->~
February "a, to fill the vacancies of
three retired members whose terms eX-
pire. Two of the retiring members,

kin, has not as yet made known his
views as to whether he will be COW
didate for reelection. The club fa-
vored the Endorsement of Mr.. Larkin,
but as he was not present and being
without knowledge of his intention,
the matter was held in allegiance
After careful discussio" 81" "ossible
candidates, the club indorsed MesSrs.
Velcey and Joyce and held under ad-
viSement the name of James Moore,
pending the final decision of Mr.. Lar
kin.
