WILSON'S FIUME TRIUMPH.

The news from Italy that Premier
Nitti and Minister Trumbitch are now
willing to accept Fiume adjustment
on the exact basis laid down by Pres
ident Wilson is interesting as well
come information at this time. Since
the moment when Italy tiared up at the
"audacity of President Wilson" the
world settlement has gone the gamut
of emotional hysteria over the awful
Wilson blunder of messing things in
Europe. 1t was none Of his business
to butt into Italian diplomacy. They
knew more over there in minute than
he ever knew in his whole life.
No one incident connected with the
European settlement has caused as
much upsetting talk and noise making
as this Fiume affair. President Will
son had no Interior or selfish object in
wishing, or even demanding, that
Fiume be buffer state. He foresaw
the justice belonging to Albania and
other Balkan states, and as they were
among the smaller nations his sense
of justice demanded that they be not
bottled up to become the football of
any other grasping country.
How far the vision of President
Wilson extended in this Fiume mat
ter is evidenced by Italy's final COM
ing around and admitting it. There
was no more than simple justice in
what President Wilson sought to ac-
complish. 1t is what he stood for
throughout the long discussion at Yer
sailles over proper peace settlement
out of the war. If Italy came close
to destroying President Wilson by her
contentious attitude over Fiume she
has now become the unconscious me-
dunn through which the world-tide of
opinion may be turned in his favor
AT home here in America coldblooded
calculating partisan politics, fomented
into storm of protest against Wilson,
has placed the world in state OF
turmoil unparalleled in world history.
Our greatness as a people has made
us the great example to follow, and
all other peoples everywhere have
halted in any measure looking to a
process of Strengthening things out un-
til America could find herself. Our
example thus becomes a guide all are
anxious to follow, and it will be
Gods blessing when mere politics is
brushed aside so that the world may
start afresh to redeem itself

Mr.. HoovER's BEST EFFORT.

Herbert l.. Hoover again this week
sustains his well-earned reputation for
astute thinking power and ability to
forcefully express himself, in state
ment on the issues of the day. He
says that the first probability of the
Republicans will be to send out plat
form that will be constructed around
two general themes, first the party
view as to the many measures before
the country; second, the less tangible,
but of even greater Importance, the
ideals that the party will represent.
Mr.. Hoover says that it was never
as important that the party convey to
the public it's ideals in positive and def
mite form. The country is in no posi-
ton or mood to be trifled with, and
anything that can be perverted into
dual meaning is sure to be resented.
The whole pronouncement is one of
the greatest and best ever sent out
for the consideration of the American
people, and if it does not create
greater feeling of confidence, it will
be most surprising. He says in eff
feet, Here is what / stand for, take
me or leave me-" With all of the
party politics; with the Johnsons, the
Woods, the Hardings and other Repub-
licans doing their level best to secure
the nomination, it is certain that Mr..
Hoover will come in for his share of
criticism, and even now he has been
the recipient of several hot shots from
certain quarters that acknowledge by
their knocks that he is big, clean man
to be reckoned with. He favOrs the
league of nations, and feels that the
rank and file of the nation is of this
mind. Whether it is to be a reserva-
tion league, is of minor importance
beside the main issue that the league
is essential. Mr.. Hoover makes of
himself a greater mark for the respect
of the American people in this last
statement than ever before, because
it is his most forceful effort.

VILLAGE GOSSIP

Last Sunday was automobile field
day for the heart of Palisade. Ander-
son avenue was fenced off from Edge
wood lane south to Dorincourt road, so
that all north bound traffic had to come
around through Palisade avenue The
autos had the choice of going into An
derson avenue through Bride way,
Bluff road to Edgewood lane, or along
Bluff road to Abbott boulevard to
DOrincOurt road, thence into Anderson
avenue. They were out by thousands,
all day long, too, and made the old
fashioned macadam roads dusty the
day through. At Bluff and Cumber-
mede roads was danger spot, owing
to the sharpness of the turn east. Cars
coming down Bluff road going east
were put to it to dodge car turning
the same direction into Bluff road from
of close shaves.
Thanks, James Binner, for helping
the Palisadian out last Saturday when
the regular boy failed to deliver the
papers to the Grantwood and Cliffside
section. Nothing like being accommo-
dating. And, as has been said here
before, one accommodating, willing
hearted boy in community is a rare
jewel and big asset to the whole COM
munity.

INDEPENDENCE FOR FlLlPlNos.

The next big thing to be under
taken by the United States is Civ
ing to the Philippines their inde-
pendence There will be some Objec-
ton to this, but it appears to be in
line, and nothing should stand in the
way. This government has labored
with remarkable loyalty and fidelity
to the Filipinos, winning their COM
plete respect and affection. 1t is a
question if there is an enemy to this
government in all the Philippines.
From the best authorities there ap-
pears to be nothing but complete sat
isfaction with what American control
has done towards developing the is
lands. A recital of the Improvements
and general advancement that has
been carried along by our government
would read like romance. Yet this
task being now sufficiently finished, we
should be ready to give the islands
what every ambitious people most long
for, their liberty, independence and
freedom. The FilipinOs are at this
time well equipped for the battle of
the future and must ever look with
longing hearts to their saviors, the
American people.

A LOCAL WRITER.

Those Palisadian readers who have
not made themselves acquainted with
our gifted contributor "Earsen 1. So
pen," are missing a treat out of the
ordinary The writer of this column,
Thoughts of the Day." is unquestion-
ably one of the greatest thinkers of
the times. He is so far above the or
binary writer that his works shine by
comparison with the best in everyday
or weekly newspapers. He stands on
par with the finest one sees in the big
dailies. He could fill an important pO-
sition on any of the great dailies, yet
he is content to hide his light under a
bushel out here in the hills of Jersey,
where his audience IS small and per-
haps really unappreciative. But what
we say goes-"Earsen I. Sopen" is a
gifted writer and man of most un-
usual abilities.

Brigadier George f. easier, head of
the New Jersey division of the Saliva
tion Army, says that about one-quar-
ter of the children who join the army's
Sunday schools come in tatters. They
are afraid to go to the denOminational
Sunday schools, or their parents are
afraid to have them go because of the
humiliating contrast with children who
are better dressed.
The Salvation Army officers make
clothes for the children who have no
respectable clothes of their own, and
the result is that the Sunday school
takes on for these children a charac-
ter that can hardly be appreciated by
anyone except themselves. They de-
velop feeling of self respect, which
is more to them than much they can
not understand about religion. 1t is
practical religion, the kind which
reaches the heart before the mind is
ready to receive it's lasting impression.
This is only one of many ways in
which the Salvation Army is educating
the world in the practical idea of serv
ice to humanity. From May 10 to 20,
inclusive, the army will make it's an
nual appeal for funds to carry on its
work. Let the response be as gener-
Gus as the cause is worthy!

1.-THE PASSION FLOWER"
AT THE BELMONT THEATER

The theatrical season on Broadway
is drawing to close, several of the
more important plays having been
withdrawn to make way for the sum-
mer shows, of which there will be a
greater number on Broadway this year
than ever before. OF those which
show no signs of waning interest, 1.-The
Passion Flower one of the most pDw-
erful plays ever written, is the. most
conspicuous example. This play, from
the Spanish of Jacinto Benavente, the
foremost Spanish dramatist, acted by
Nance O'Neil, Charles Waldron, Al
fred Hickman, Harold Hartsell, An
nette Westbay and a further cast of
exceptional brilliancy, is the most dis
cussed play produced this year. The
New York critics are in accord in de-
fining it as one of the most powerful
plays ever produced and one of the
best acted plays Broadway has seen
in decade.
''It is an extraordinary dramatic
play, the vivid and vital work of an
expert" the Times declares, while
Burns Mantle, critic of the Evening
Mail, says that Modjeska, Janauschek
nor Charlotte Cushman has never
done better emotional acting than
Miss O'Neil in this play. Louis de
Foe, on the World. says sit is a breath
lessly interesting play which never
falters in the sweep and onrush of its
story"

FIND YOUR OWN MORAL.

A stern warning for all married men
is carried in a story from Atlanta
about suit filed by Mrs. Max Liber-
son to obtain a divorce from her hus-
band.
The testimony offered at the trial
showed that Max Liberson has
Never touched drop of beer in his
life.
Has never touched drop of wine
or whiskey in his life
Has never played game of cards
and never gambled.
Has turned over all his money 10
his wife.
Has swept the house every morn
ing to tighten her burdens.
Has helped cook the meals when she
was tired.
Has nevelospoken cross word TO
her.
And yet, in spite of this record of
exemplary conduct, Mrs. Liberson
threw pot of scalding coffee in the
face of her worthy husband, and went
off and hired a lawyer to file a divorce
suit against him, declaring that he
was the most tiresome mortal it was
ever her misfortune to meet.
You can write your own moral for
this story. 1t is so obvious, Mr.. Mar
ried Man, that it would insult your
intelligence to point it out.

it does not hurt any more than to
sleep with younger person." And
the answer given in part in these
words: Grandma is right. 1t is re-
freshing to find one grandma who is
not bowed down under a weight of
superstition
Was ever there little child that
did not want to sleep with grandma,
and was ever there a grandma that
didn't consent instantly to have the
child do so? Grandma knows that the
little one is going to be restless, and
in it's sleep, as most children do.
Grandma knows that she would rest
better in bed by herself. But what
are grandmas for if it is not to have
their rest disturbed by little children
Assuredly they are used to it, anyway,
if they are grandmas.
And the lightness of grandma S
slumbers-when child is at hand.
She awakens with every passing
whisper of the winds; she is con-
the child; dozen times during the
night she arranges the coverlets, lest
the tiny mite within her keeping be-
come chilled. Oh, it was given to
grandma to sleep lightly, to hear all
that goes on in the stiffness of the
night, to be ever ready to lift hand
for the protection of the offspring.
There is no more beautiful thing in
this glorious old world than the love
of grandma for the child and the
child's confidence in grandma.

The Home Service Fund appeal of
the Salvation Army, set for May 10 to
20, inclusive, will be test of the will
lingness and ability of the public to
maintain our permanent, organized
benevolences. This appeal should not
be cOnfounded with the ordinary
"drive." Last year the Salvation
Army decided to abandon it's all the
year round "tambourine collections"
which took so much of the time its
workers could otherwise have devoted
to real humanitarian service, and go
before the public once year for the
funds necessary to carry on its work
and expand it as the needs might re-
quire. This was move for economy
and efficiency. The public responded
generously and should again respond
generously this year.

PALISADES AMUSEMENT PARK.

Palisades Amusement Park is again
TO the front with the announcement
from Nicholas M. Schenck that the sea-
son will open on Saturday, May 1. Ev-
erything will be in readiness for gala
day. Scores of wOrkmen have been
employed during the winter months to
make this resort the greatest in the
world, and judging from the many adj
.ditions and improvements they have
completed the big job Mr. Schenck laid
out for them. Numerous new Midway
attractions will be in operation, includ-
ing a tremendously pretentious device
called cover the Falls" This attrac-
tion is housed in a new theater on the
Main Walk and promises to provide a
brand new style of thrill
The free vaudeville and circus acts
which are presented on the stage of
the amphitheater have been selected
from the best talent available. Two
performances will be given daily, fin
ishing with the spectacular dive of Ar
thur c. Holden, who comes back to the
resort with added laurels. Holden
captured the worlds championship in
high dive during a congress of high
divers last year in Toronto, Canada.
The dance hall promises to continue
in popularity inasmuch as Mr.. Schenck
has retained Professor Fred Fisher and
his syncOpated orchestra. AS an add
ed attraction for opening night dis
play of fireworks will be given. Dur
ing the summer every Tuesday and
Thursday will be fireworks night.

The poor we have always with us.
Because of our present prosperity we
must not lose sight of the fact that our
permanent, organized benevOlences
should be supported by the public, so
that they will continue to function eff
ficiently. They are needed now, the
same as ever, and we know not how
soon the time may come when they
will be called upon to take up much
greater burden of service to humanity
One of the organizations which are
bearing this burden of service is the
Salvation Army. There is no question
of the value and efficiency of it's work.
Last year the army decided to abandon
the time consuming "tambourine col
lections" in order to release it's work
ers for the kind of service they are es-
pecially trained to perform. A Home

of going before the public once a year
to obtain the wherewithal to carry on
the work during the following year and

There is now danger that the appeal
may be confounded with the ordinary

give to the Salvation Army. 1t is a
duty to give, because the work it is do
ing must be done and cannot be so well
done or so economically done by any
other organization now in existence

That Caldwell may have fourth

petition cannot be ascertained.
In addition to this, further reports
are current to the effect that applica-
ton has been filed also for a national
chartered bank in Caldwell. Of this
report, nothing definite can be learn

petition has been filed and that for a
state institution.
