Nominations Of a Rebel
. BY Tom Clifford

How evanescent is fame! Less than
two years ago President Wilson was
loudly acclaimed by press and pulpit
the super.evangel of world democracy
and universal peace. "How have the
mighty fallen!" The erstwhile eulogies
that once appeared in the daily press
are. CONSPICUOUS by their absence II
now seems probable that when the
President leaves this vale of tears his
passing will excite but brief comment
He had an opportunity that comes Ia
hut few men to place his name along
side that of Lincoln in the hall of
fame. Had he considered social service
above personal ambition he would now
be receiving the plaudits of the multi
tudc instead of almost univerasl con-
demnation. The contrast between his
career and that of Eugene " Debs
stands out in conspicuous relief. Al
though Wilson still occupies the highest
office within the gift of the people
of this nation, his personality excitcs
practically no interest, and he is fatod
to 20 to his grave "unwept, unhonOrel
and unsung." Gene Debs is an in.
mate of federal prison-a convict
yet his personality is enshrined in the
hearts of millions and his name will
go down to posterity as one who
Iloved-and, loving, served-his fellow
men. De5s will live in history Wilson
| is already practically forgotten.
Herbert Hoover, the much toutcd
caudidate for President, is a typica
bourgeois. Tn harmony with his claS
interests he is doing his bit in de
nouncing Russia's Soviet government
With unblushing effrontery he shame
lessly repeates the lying tales Of m
archy and hloodshed in Russia, whicl

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF
IN DISTRICT COURT ACTION

The case of Morris Zuckor against
Morris Mechanic was tried before a
jury in the district court yesterday.
This case came before the circuit
court in New Brunswick. but It was
found at that time it was a case to
be tried in the court in this city.
In the trial yesterday Mechanik
claimed through his attorney,
George ]. Miller, that on June 8 of
last year Zuckor came into his store
at $50 State street and before two
witnesses said that he would not
raise the rent on Mechanic for three
years, which he had sent notice
would take effect on July list. Me-
chanik took it for granted that this
verbal agreement meant hat he
could stay in the store for three
more years, but when Zuckor in
formed him that he must vacate the
store, Mechanic took the matter to
court.
In New Brunswick Mechanic tes-
titled that the term of the agree
ment was to begin on July 1, 1919.
but when cross-examined by Senator
Brown, attorney for Zuckor, he said
that he had gotten confused in the
trial at the county seat, and that
the agreement was to begin on June
3, 1919. Senator Brown charged
that this statement was contrary to
the one Mechanic made at the for
mer trial. Mechanic when forced
to answer the question put to him
by the senator said that he did not
remember what he had stated at
New Brunswick
The only written agreement that
Mechanic had was a lease for one
year, which ended in last July.
Therefore, Mechanic has to move
out of the store, as Zuckor made no
verbal agreement with Mechanic to
stay in the building when he stated
that he would not raise the rent on
Mechanic for three years. The jury
returned a verdict in favor of Sena-
tor Browns client.
