Thoughts Of Today
With a Grain Of Salt.

Can it be possible the Republicans
have learned lesson? The glorious
victory of Governor Edwards Of New
Jersey has shown the Republicans that
they must offer their platform with a
large quantity of deliquescent salt.
This salt, as every one knows, is the
kind that becomes liquid in wet
weather and solid crystal in dry
weather without the addition or sub
traction of water. It obtains its
moisture from the air. Now, the Re-
publican party of today, like the Dem
ocrats, has no ambition beyond that of
getting into Office If people want
prohibition they dry up, but If the peo-
pie want booze they deliquesce. 1t all
depends on the district leaders re-
ports.

To Restore Loyalty.

America never experienced great Sc
cial discomfort until all the land was
taken up. There was intense loyalty
and pride in the form of government
in the seventies, eighties and nineties,
but as soon as economic pressure grew
apparent the wOrkingmen banded to-
gether with more loyalty to their I'M
ions than they had for their legal
state and national representatives
Hunger and want make men desper-
ate, and they are ready to destroy ev-
erything that stands in the way of
the immediate qualification of their
needs, good as well as bad. Land
monopoly must be destroyed, not by
turning out the occupants of the land
nor by destroying their titles thereto,
but by charging the annual value OF
the land that is created by the COM
munity to such occupants and abolish
ing all taxes on labor and capital.
This can be done in perfectly pain
less operation by abolishing personal
property taxes, reducing assessments
on improvements, with increasing as
sessments on the land, until the i'm
provement tax is eliminated and the
land tax alone remains. Simple, but
effective, and nobody wronged!

A Ship Thought.

Some of the Republicans are calling
for heavy tariff on all imports. Dear
friends, you don't need it. Thirty or
forty ships sailed to Brest loaded to
the guard rails with American goods
and came back empty. What more
could any protectionist desire? OF
course the goods will be paid for with
gold which can all be sent on one
liner, and everybody knows how much
we need gold so as to reduce the cost
of living. The trouble is that it costs
as much to send ship back empty as
it does to send it out full, and there
are no freight receipts on an empty
ship to cover the cost. Any wonder
our merchant marine f1ourishes?

Out of Gas.

we left volunteered to take several
women home in my automobile. We

my gasoline supply gave out. At a
garage near by discovered that did
not have the price of single gallon

DEBATING TEAM AT c. p. H. S.

A meeting of the candidates for
places on the debating team that will
represent Cliffside Park High School
against the representatives of Union
Hill, Hackensack, Hasbrouck Heights
Englewood and of several other
northern New Jersey high schools, was
held in Mr.. J. A. Preston's room on
Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Preston, who is speaker of
known ability, is enthusiastically ap-
plauded whenever he takes the plat
form. On Wednesday he explained to
the pupils of the school at assembly
the fundamentals of debating. Mr..
Preston, who is graduate of Ford
ham College, served as first lieuten-
ant in the army during the war. And
he will surely train his pupils to bring
home the bacon to G. p. II. S.
Over 20 signatures of those who
would compete for the team We're
handed in on Thursday. Among
them were the names of Albert Van
Dusen and Martin Stien, both of whom

WHO ARE THE COMMON PEOPLE?

In Woodrow Wilson's New Free
DOM he says, "The nations are renew
ed from the bottom, not from the top.
The real wisdom of human life is COM
pounded out of the experiences of ordi-
nary men,"
While there may be nothing new in
this thought, it is driven home in a
newer meaning coming from man of
the Presidents position. Yet it is a
fact that most of the progress, most of
the great inventions, and most of the
leadership of the world has come from
men in the ordinary walks of life. In
the great commercial centers policies
and parties are not always shaped by
men of this type, but the highest lead
source. Nearly all men who rise in
the world have been of humble origin.
Thus we see the electorate almost set
against the sons of the rich when adj
vancing leadership is at hand. Rich
mems sons seldom rise to eminence of
their own accord or. efforts. It re.
quires hard knocks in the school of eX
perience to bring out real manhood.
Woodrow Wilson is one of the most
notable examples of a man of aristo-
cratic origin and tendencies who have
risen to the heights. But he had sim
cere appreciation of the aims and as
pirations of the more humble men of
the world. 1t was his understanding
of these principles that has made him
what he is, for he has never posed as
above the common herd. During his
life In the White House he has been
called exclusive, and it is said that he
holds himself aloof from all friends
and foes alike. But this is not the real
reason of the apparent isolation of
President Wilson. Since he has been
President he has faced more great
problems than any other man in all
history. His time has been in use.
First his vision foresaw the demand
radical laws were necessary to be
enacted Only set program made
this possible, and he put more real
big law into force than any other man
of his time The coming of the war
forced American domestic policies in
the background. For five years this
country had war problems far greater
than any it ever faced, so home mat
tiers were relegated to the secondary
position they have occupied since
1914 But for these conditions it is
thought that President Wilson would
have built up at Washington a far
different reputation than conditions he
had to face have made possible.
As Mr.. Wilson says the common peo-
pie are the real backbone of the ma
ton, and have been so since the begin
ming of time. Woodrow Wilson'S ORR
gin was more like Washington's. but
both appreciated the true meaning of
democratic ideals.

SAW BIRTH OF GREAT MEN
Year 1909 Was Remarkable for the
Advent of a Number Of Personaaes
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
1909. 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
1.-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 IL 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, 1t Is at least
interesting to know how many dates
ending with the figure 8 have been
notable for marking eras in human
freedom.
Beginning with the Christian era,
the year 8 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 20 is the date Of the Cruel
fixion, most significant Of all In the
history of human liberty.

GERMANY'S FALSE MOVES.

Before America got into the war
Germany made so many false moves
in order to impress her power that it
is wonder she ever made progress at
all. Looked at in the light of sub
sequent events, the biggest mistake
she made in the whole war was the
sinking of the LuSitania. But the
German nation, nor any of her sub
jects scattered all over the United
States could see anything but vic
torious Germany. In every town and
village of this country the most con-
fidential advices were sent out that
Germany was going to conquer all of
Europe in short order. The sinking
of neutral ships right off the harbor
of New York city in 1916 struck terror
to the hearts of thousands of Ameri-
cans everywhere, but it was the be-
ginning of the end with Germany. 1t
was the least tactful of all the moves
the Teuton made. 1t united sentiment
against the German method, and it
made it positively certain that Ameri-
ca was not going to allow her to con-
quer Europe. The sinking of these
ships set America to keener think
ing than ever before. 1t is what really
whipped Germany
And now Germany is riding to an
other fall. The opinion is expressed
that Germany delights in the failure
of the United States senate TO ratify
the peace treaty and the League of
Nations. She wants to be able to say
what America shall and what she shall
not do if separate treaty is to be
concluded with Germany alone. But
she will fail as signally trying TO drive
America to cover on a separate peace
as she failed to balk the peace treaty
at Versailles. We have been slow in
coming to conclusion in the treaty,
due to internal political causes, but the
time is not far off when America will
