If Mr.. Jackson's style, his feeling,
could be transferred into others; if
his manner could be taught, he could
soon make the world worth while. He
is truly remarkable man, and deliv-
cred his message to Palisade in a way
that carried full conviction to all the
thoughtful people who heard it. Ex-
presSiOnS of desire to have him come
again were heard on all sides, and he
has promised to do so. And when he
comes he should turn people away He
left an impression here that will not
soon be forgotten.

that idle landowners could extract that

New Jersey has taken a proud posi-

Perhaps the saddest spectacle that
has ever cast gloom over New York

freedom given him in celebrating the
