COLLECTOR BENDER.

Tax Collector Bender of Fort Lee,
having resigned last summer, is again
a candidate for the office. If what
The Palisadian says is true, that Mr..
Bender said when he sent in his resig-
nation that he did not want to resign,
but wanted more money!" he would
better serve the people out of office.
That Is the way this newspaper feels
about him and with no apology for the
thought The borough system is either
what it represents itself to be or it is
not 1t is either an altruistic form of
civic community government or 1t is
something else. The officers are sup
posed to serve for about as small n
sum as compensation can be. And 1t
was this way in this borough for
long time until a certain unnamable
gentleman took up the reins of office.
Then salaries went up with bound
all along the line. And they have
been bounding ever since. The coun-
cilmen get no pay, and they do devil
o. a lot of work with no compensation
except free telephones.
1ne trutn OIL the uidlteI Is liut
when a man becomes so important
that he can resign without being taken
seriously then his desire to quit be-
comes q joke at the expense of the
taxpayers. The time for that sort of
thing passed long ago-in other words,
play the baby act, quit your job, pout,
sputter about, dig your toes in the
ground and say, "All | want is the
money" Then you get it.
But the taxpayers would do well in
this case to remember that there are
other candidates.
1t is stated on perfectly good au-
thority that the tax collector is not re-
quired to give his entire time to the
duties of the office nor any consider
able portion of it. This makes even
$500 a pretty round sum for the job.

MORE NOVELTIES CROWDED
INTO "GooD TIMES"

Wonders never cease at the New
York Hippodrome, where Charles Dill
lingham's monster pageant, "Good
Times" again succeeded during the
past week in breaking it's own previous
high record of attendance for IL per-
formances. During the Jewish holt
days and early part of the week the
great playhouse was the most popular
amusement headquarters in town, and
during the latter part the number of
social parties indicated the return to
town of thousands of New Workers.
This week an additional novelty was
introduced in "Good Times" by the
Fender troupe of pantomimists. These
comedians, who previously appeared in
their novel advertisement on stills in
"Toyland," have been given another Op-
portunity by r. HI. Burnside in the cir
Gus scene, where their quaint animal
representations were so long a feature
of the London Drury Lane pantomimes.

CALVIN COOLIDGE SAYS.

(From message for the Boston Post
April %, 1918. This was written at
the height of the great German drive
in the spring of 1918, the darkest
days of the war;
The nation with the greatest moral
power will win. OF that are born ar
mics and navies and the resolution to
endure. Have faith In the moral pow
Ter of America. 1t gave independence
under Washington and freedom under
Lincoln. Here right never lost. Here
wrong never won. However powerful
the forces of evil may appear, some
where there are more powerful forces
of righteousness. Courage and conf
dence are our heritage. Justice is our
might. The outcome is in your hand,
my fellow American; if you deserve to
win the nation cannot lose.

LEAGUE STOPS TWO WARS.

There is no use any longer for pref
udiced or partisan critics of the League
idea to pretend that the League, as
constituted in Paris, cannot prevent
wars. 1t has. Even without the pow
erful backing Of the United States and
with Europe still in q state of hair
trigger excitement, the Council of the
League has headed off one war and
seems to have stopped another actually
in progress.
If 1t really has succeeded in bring
ing to an end the conflict already be-
gun between Lithuania and Poland
and the leaders of these two ma
lions have formally pledged their gov
ernments to stop fighting-then the
League Council can put to it's credit
an achievement that approaches a
miracle! The case of Sweden and
Finland was more nearly normal. 1t
is more like the average case which
would come before the Council of the
League in period of settled peace.
But both Poland and Lithuania are
in a condition of dangerous inflamma-
ton. Poland is fighting for her life
against Soviet Russia, with the terribly
ing prospect of having to face a new
i, Bolshevik "drive" in the spring.
1t will be noted by fearful persons,
who are always seeking to make our
flesh creep" by insisting that this hor-
rible ogre of man-eating League
would infallibly drag our sons off to
die on distant battlefelds whose very
names we would have great difficulty
in pronouncing, that both these gifts
of peace to the volcanic regions about
the Baltic have been made without the
employment of single weapon, not
even economic. Not soldier has been
sent. Not shot has been fired by
League forces. Not so much as a
blockade has been established. Not
so far as we are told-a single cargo
ship has been detected.
The League worked its beneficent
miracle by simply offering the quar-
relling nations commission of in
quiry which they could trust. We are
not given all the details of the four
"cases" involved; so we are not in a
position to say for certain to what ex-
tent the disputes would fall in the
category of justiciable questions. But
it is altogether likely that in both cases
there are matters for settlement which
could hardly be handled under the for
NAL rules of court, but which must
be dealt with along political or diplo-
matte lines. That is, statesman as

Dear Mr.. Perkins,

September 8. 1890

Dear Mr.. Perkins,
am glad to give you full support your contest for
the Congressional Nomination, in district think
will be able to do things for at Washington as
you did at Trenton. have lived in Bergen County
nearly 35 and in all that time do not recall
single representative who has put the real essential in
erests of this district at the front Bergen and always
will be county of farms and suburban homes. Sussex
and Warren agricultural counties. The district is
therefore, made up almost entirely of commuters and
farmers is not manufacturing district but great
dominating problem the production and distribution of
food Our people, both farmers and commuters are now
held up by the middlemen and handlers. Farmers are
being robbed through low prices and are rob-
bed through extoronate charges for the same goods
Every farmer in the district knows that he being rob-
bed and every consumer knows he is being exploited
is largely due to the feeble and cowardy actions of the
present administration at Washington. We have never
been represented by any bid strong enough to
recognize and face this great issue and force into prom
nence No one expects any single to settle it but
the only way of settlement lies in making Congress un-
derstand it.
l am going to support you because feel that you
understand this problem and that you will tackle with
out fear favor You did great things our Schools
when put through the Railroad Tax Law with it's
distribution of funds to Public Schools believe YOU will
find way to force this criminal high living prob
lem into the lime light and put in the way of settle
ment. would earnestly advise every farmer who pro-
duces food and who buy to give you
full support in this contest.
Yours very truly,

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Albany, N. Y, Jan. s.-Five Social
list members OF the Assembly OF the
New York State Legislature were de-
MED their seats at the lower branch's
opening meeting Of the 1920 session. A
resolution questioning whether they
could be loyal toahelr oaths OF office
when bound to act subject to lnstruc-
lions OF the Socialist party, was quick
ly passed 40 TO O after Speaker Sweet
with dramatic suddenness ordered the
sergeant.at-arms TO bring the Socialist
members before the bar of the House.
The Socialists must now prove their
fitness to their seats before a tribunal
selected by this Assembly.
The session was dragging as the
clerk was calling for routine resolu-
tions when Speaker Sweet interrupted
him. The Socialists, August Claessens
and Louis Waldman OF New York coun-
", Samuel A. Dewitt and Samuel Orr
OF Bronx county and Charles Solomon
OF Kings county, were ushered before
the speakers desk In the pit Of the
House.
"You are seeking seats In this body
you who have been elected on a
platform that is absolutely lnlmlcal to
the best interests OF the state OF New
York and OF the United States" the
speaker said.
THAT platform IL the doctrine Of
the &nalollat noptu 10 IL naf Nnttltg m
political party, but is n membership
organization admitting within It's ranks
enemy aliens and minors"
Quot 8; from the section OF the con-
stltution of the Socialist party that re-
qulres all members to be guided In all
their political actions by the constItu-
ton and platforms of the party. the
speaker continued:
ut Is interesting to note that Lud-
wig @. A. X. Martens, s~elf-styled so
Wet ambassador became a member
OF the Socialist party upon his entry
into this country and took part In Its
deliberations. II Is therefore quite evil
dent that you, In spite OF your oath Of
office, are bound to act subject to In
structions received from an executive
committee which may be made up In
whole or In part OF aliens or allen ELL
emies, holding allegiance to govern
ments or organizations whose interests
may be Numerically opposed to the
best interests OF the United States"
As Dol as the speaker had finished
Majority Leader Simon |. Adler offered
the resolution declaring vacant the
seats Of the Socialist members.
Two Bronx Democrats, william s.
Evans and ]. Fairfax Mclaughlin, vot-
ed in the negative as did four OF the
Socialists.
