A BAD PLIGHT POSSIBLE.

The announcement that the Public
Service may have to close down or
at least curtail some of its utility serv-
ice, such as gas and electricity, from
shortage of coal, comes as form
of shock calculated to make the peo-
pie of New Jersey sit up and listen.
1t takes coal and a great deal of it to
supply gas and electricity for New
Jersey, and the reserve supply is now
seriously threatened, so much so that
President McCarter has been COM
PEELED this week to journey to Wash
ington, seeking relief from the gov
ernment This of course can come
only through the Interstate Com
merce Commission. 1t has been asked
to furnish cars to move the necessary
coal supplies.
The reserve piles of coal are always
built up during the summer months
but so far none has been accumu-
lated. The situation is so accute that
the curtalment in the supply of gas
and electricity may be started imme-
diately. This might mean an allow
ance of light for so many hours after
nightfall only. Cooking gas would
be cut off or limited to certain hours
also. Such thing never happened
before, not even in war times 1t
really is a. dreadful state of affairs.

THE CITIZENS CLUB.

The people of Grantwood and Cliff
side are to be congratulated upon the
good work now being performed by
the Citizens Club. The leaders of the
organization every one appears to be
broad-minded and liberal, and all are
open to suggestions that will promote
the general good. The active work
now going on i'm n-nerfecting the Zoning
system will benefit property holders
largely. 1t will make all realty COM
modify the same as merchandise be-
cause ii will show what every form of
property really represents, and what
can be done with il. There will no
longer be any uncertainties as to what
can be done with property in the
Borough of Cliffside Park.
The Citizens Club appears to travel
along with fine effort for the public
veal at all times, but at no time of
its history has it been as efficient as
at the present Any man or set of
men having the open mind can make
progress. The Citizens Club is to
be congratulated on having at least
the virtue of initiative, the most val
liable asset of every forward move
ment.

CANDIDATE HARDING.

From reports published in the vari-
Gus sections of the country it would
appear that the nomination of Senator
Harding has not given universal salts
faction. In the east the pro-partisan
press has accepted him with little or
no objection. In the middle west the
situation is mildly Indifferent. The
newspapers say that he lacks yirility,
is not progressive, and Senator Pen
rose says he is a Progressive-COnser
vative, an entirely new appellatiOn for
q politician, whatever it may mean.
The fact of the matter is, Senator
Harding is man of some strong
points, perhaps, but lacks the spon-
taneous stuff that live-wire candidates
are made of, and while a strong party
man, does not measure up to the stan
dards of Il Roosevelt, Il Mckinley, or
Hughes. Hughes is really the strong
est man the party could have picked,
but his favoring the League barred
him at the outset. Besides, Hiram
Johnson was given an affront by
Hughes in the 1916 campaign, and as
Hiram practically controlled at Chi
cago by debating the platform, Hughes
never had a look in.
The results at Chicago were plain
ly the desires of the Old Guard, and as
they are all strict stand-patters and
non-progressives, they may be expect
ed to put up the finished product of a
campaign, with no frills lacking. Big
business Is again in the saddle, of
course, which is no secret, and things
will have to stand from under. What
the Democrats do at San Francisco
will not cut the slightest figure with
the Republicans, who have their CAM
paign all cooked and primed for a
fight to a finish. Harding will make
tractable candidate in the hands of
the National Committee, and will no
doubt make far better showing than
his opponents now concede. How good
n President he might make no one can
tell, though he does not start out as
well as he may end. 1t takes con-
test to bring out what is really best
In man. Many dark horse has won
his race.

its meetings every Friday evening.
A very lively discussion was precipi-
tated by the president through a ref
erence to the many instances of un-
slightly conditions noted on vacant lot
properties throughout the borough.
Complaint was made at the inadequate
garbage removal service, and likewise
the dumping of debris on vacant lots
by the street cleaning squad Mrs.
Coulter volunteered the suggestion
that if the cleaning of vacant lots was
taken up by the borough and a charge
for the same added to the owners
