AN OUTLET FOR JAPAN.

The vital statistics of Japan for 1918
have just been published. Births for
the year were 1,S43, 023 deaths, $780,
279; net increase of population, 612,-
TIA. The foregoing figures show de-
creased death rate and an increased
birth rate. A comparison of pre-war
statistics shows that the japanese
birth rate was only exceeded by Hun
gary and Roumania. The best under
stood comparison perhaps would be be-
tween Great Britain and Japan. The
former, with 100000 population, has
a net annual increase of 100000. ia
pan, with 100000 inhabitants, has a
net increase of 612,774. With popula-
ton less than % per cent greater than
Britain, Japans birth rate is Is per
cent greater.
There is no doubt that Japan has a
tremendous overcrowding problem. As
her people increase in education and
intelligence they are demanding better
living conditions and more room. They
won't tolerate forever the crowding of
the old barbaric times, and it behooves
the world to provide an outlet where
their migratiOns will do the least harm
racially as well as politically.

doubtedly looked upon as a great
achievement by the former director of
the freeholders, at least from his
viewpoint. From the Palisade view
it was just the opposite.
But the situation as ugly as it is for
Palisade, is laughable from another
The sO-called 'leaders" of the village
journeyed many times to Trenton for
the purpose of telling the State High

they most wanted it to go. And some
of these influences were no doubt
closer than they knew. OF course.

More Teacher Pay
Campaign On

The campaign for more pay for
teachers, who always have received
about as little as the various commit
tees they benefited could pay them,
was carried to Fort Lee this week, a
big meeting being held at the Whit
man street building Monday night to
hear an address from DR.. Hopkins,
principal of the Jersey City High
School.
DR.. Hopkins gave an interesting
talk showing how inadequately paid
the teachers are compared with other
callings and was listened to by very
large gathering. Other speakers were
Rev. DIR. Kelder, of Coytesville d. A.
Carson of Palisade; James D. Moore,
of Fort Lee and Mr.. Chase of the Fort
Lee schools. All presented interest
ing angles of the same question and
urged that municipal expenditures be
so arranged that the teachers can get
the living wage they have earned.
Edward kautfer, of the Board Of
Education, presided at the meeting
which was an enthusiastic one.

Cross Questions and Crooked Answers

What are you doing to make the
world just little better for your hav-
ing lived in it? In business way,
it is none of my business, in a re-
ligious way it is some of my business,
because if you are faithful to your
principles, am benefited to just that
extent, like everyone else, but in po-
litical way it is all of my business be-
cause you are bound to vote, not for
yourself but for the best interests of
all your neighbors. If you vote just
to get your man elected, who has
promised you that he will boost your
district at the expense of all other
districts, you have betrayed your trust,
have you not? Or, if he has promised
you better job? Did you ever pray
before you voted? l have heard the
prohibitiOnists do it, but perhaps it
would not do in your case? Excuse me.

HOOVER FOR PRESIDENT

While at the present time McAdoo
among the Democrats appears to have
the call for the presidential nominal
ton, among Republicans there is no
spot where the light is really spotted.
But there has suddenly loomed up
q man on whom the light is steadying,
around whom it has been dancing for
some time. He Is neither pronounced
Republican nor accepted Democrat.
He is progressive OF, the first water,
however, and regardless of which
party placed him at its masthead, he
would poll the big percentage of the
Independent vote as no other candi-
date could,
The man is Herbert C. Hoover.
OF him the World of Wednesday has
this to say:
In the Judgment of the World, the
best equipped and best qualified man
to succeed Woodrow Wilson as presi-
dent of the United States is Herbert
G. Hoover.
We should be glad to support Mr..
Hoover as the Democratic candidate
for president on platform that rep
resented the historical principles of
the Democratic party. We should be
glad to support him as an Independent
candidate ON a platform of progressive
liberalism We should not hesitate to
support him as the Republican candi-
kind of government which Mr.. Hoover
has exemplified in his public career.
Among the Democratic politicians
the chief objection to Mr.. Hoover is
that he has been successfully Re-
publican and Progressive, but has
never affiliated with the Democratic
organization, although he was APP
pointed to Office by President Wilson
and was the most distinguished of all
the presidents lieutenants during the
war.
Among Republican politicians the
chief objection to Mr.. Hoover is that
he never was an organization Repub-
lican and that in the fall of 1918 he
had the independence and courage to
urge the election of congress that
would work tremendously with Presi-
dent Wilson. If the country had fol-
lowed Mr. Hoover's wise and practical
\ advice it would not today be the vic
tim of a deadlocked government which
is virtually unable to function.
The partisan objections to Mr..
Hoover are arguments in his favor.
The American people are tired of pro-
fessional politicians and disgusted
with party politics. The old party
lines have broken down so far as the
rank and file of voters are concerned,
and in respect to principles both par
ties are bankrupt. Although the spirit
of partisanship has rarely been more
bitter or more brutal, and never since
secession has it been more inimical to
the welfare of the country, the battle
of these warning politicians is ficti-
tious conflict.

Help Wanted.

The sudden decision of the supreme
council to open up trade with Russia
shows that free trade makes for peace,
while protection breeds war and
hatred. BY their blockade the Allies
were acting the part of the protection
list. They were keeping the products
of the pauper labor of Russia from
the highly paid workers of France and
England, and were protecting the
laborers of Russia from the cheaply
made products of the Allies. Will
some kindly protectionist please
straighten out this matter for me, if
have got it wrong?

1t took man like Henry George to
mention a topic like this, that is, in a
political speech. Everybody else
lodges. Do our leaders want such a
result to. come from their efforts? Not
our governor for one, that is, he
didn't say so. Practical man, mebbe.
Do our politicians really care for JUS
tice between man and man? All, the
pity of it. And our good citizens en-
trust their vital interests to men who
have only the desire to get the office.
When do they ever speak of the rights
of the tramp, for instance? And yet
that man has rights of which he may
not be morally deprived. Neglect those
rights, and you are ploughing the
ground for the red devil of anarchy.
But who cares for the tramp? Or the
