Thoughts Of Today
The Beqinninq of the End


The new minister of Trinity Church,
New York, warns the people that the
decay of faith and hope in the nation
foreshadows its ultimate destruction.
This is true and should be needed by
all thoughtful people. The difficulty,
however, is not to reach the thought
full, but the thoughtless. Here is the
mission of every American citizen.
How can you succeed if you are not in
yourself altruistic? If you refuse to
consider the cause of poverty; If you
frown upon misfortune and ignorance
without holding out helping hand are
you not aiding in the nations down
fall? Are you not pushing the poor
deeper into the pit? See man sink
ing into quicksand. You must help him
at once or he will get beyond your
strength to pull him out. Furthermore,
while You alone may save him now, a
hundred men cannot do SO after a long
er period Our nation is sinking into
a moral slough. Continue and you may
write "Finis" over the Republic OF our
Fathers. AS Lincoln declared, Wealth
and pleasure alone will ruin us. "
Scarify the wretch who says, after
us, the Deluge."

SINGULAR TRIBUTE TO WILSON

The following report of Armistice
Day in Washington was contained in
the Associated Press dispatches de-
Scribing that notable event:
A thunderous ovation from tens of
thousands of spectators greeted
Woodrow Wilson, Americas war
President, as he rode along Pennsyl-
vania avenue. The reverent silence
that marked the slow professional of
tremendous cheering as the Wilson
carriage rolled by.
The former President, accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson, left their home at
.S:15 o'clock for the Capitol to ride in
the procession of the unknown Ameri-
can soldier dead. Wilson was assist
ed into the carriage by an attendant.
Both Mr.. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson
wore red poppies. They arrived at
the Capitol ten minutes late. Their
carriage was scheduled to follow close
behind the caisson, but Wilson waived
aside the offer to put him in the desig-
mated place. Anywhere will do" he
said.
The Wilson's dropped in at the very
end of the procession, behind the Sec
ton of World War veterans wearing
mourning bands on their uniform
sleeves.
But as the old victoria pulled slowly
up at the last part of the funeral
parade, the concourse of men, women
and children broke forth in thunder
Gus cheering. 1t seemed a paradox in
a mournful ceremony. Wilson looked
his gratitude. He lifted his high silk
hat and slowly waved to the crowd.
His wrinkled and drawn face worked
with emotion as the former President
struggled to keep back the tears that
We're yelling in his eyes.
Mrs. Wilson waited kisses to the
crowd Wilson was the only man
cheered. 1t seemed a spontaneous
outburst of enthusiasm for the strick-
en- man who carried the destiny Of a
nation upon his shoulders throughout
the war.
Aside from the tenderness of this
almost tragic incident, it bore on its
WHY'S ahothci hieoSaSc VI SUN Sic"loi
Importance. 1t said, in effect, that
notwithstanding the great political
effort to create prejudice and hatred
against Woodrow Wilson, the great
heart of the people at large still holds
this wonderful man in reverence and
grateful esteem. No other similar in
cident has taken place in this country !;
but it loses nothing of its striking sig
nificance on that account. The moral
is, The people are not slow to forget.

Poverty and Rebellion

London is suffering from an epidem-
ic of scarlet fever, so to speak. At a
meeting of the British Empire Union
held at the Central Hall, Westminster
the Earl of DENLY was howled down
and the British flag torn down and
trampled under foot. These were
Reds who had gathered to break up
the meeting. There were numbers of
unemployed also, who showed that
they could not be loyal to a system of
government that placed them in dan
ger of starvation. England is the very
home of the landlord who lives on the
earnings of other people, and when
these people find not only their earn
ings. but also the chance to earn their
living gone from them they become
rebellious and vicious. Is there no
lesson for us in these incidents? Have
we not the same vicious poverty breed
ing land owning system?

Harveyized Altruism

I love people who tell the truth
children and fools mostly, and, OF
course, the bigger the truth the small
err the child and the bigger the fool.
Our ambassador to England, Colonel
Harvey, has told the biggest truth he
ever uttered in his life when he told
the European nations that we only
went into the war to save our coward
ly, measly skins. He should have quot
ed to them that charming proverb, "a
live dog is better than dead lion.
They would then understand. When
you get yellow dog cornered he will
turn on and snap at the danger. When
the coast is clear he will run away
with his tail between his legs. AS
Longfellow says, LET us fold our tails
like the Arabs and as silently sneak
away"

DANTE CELEBRATION
IN ITALIAN MISSION

A crowd of nearly 100 assembled in
the Cliffside Italian Mission on the
evening of Armistice day to celebrate
that event and the six hundredth birth
day of their beloved Dante.
Professor Paul Abbate of New York
was present and spoke on Dante and
his works Professor Abbate is a
sculptor of note, and the monument of
Dante in Newburgh, N. Y, is his work.
Rev. A. Calenadros, pastor of the
Italian work in Grove Reformed
Church, also gave an address, and DR..
Duggaro Fragali of Fairview spoke on
general topics. Banjo selections were
provided by DR.. A. Eustace of New
York, harp selections by Miss Vivien
Donaldson, violin numbers by Miss
Dorothy Donaldson and an organ solo
by Miss Helen Donaldson, and the
whole evening was great inspiration.
Rev. S. Gozza, pastor of the mission,
was in charge of the program.

cLIFFsIDE ELECTION CONTEST

The recent Cliffside Election has de-
yeloped a state of affairs that Is most
regrettable.
On the face of the returns Mayor
Cadien was duly elected by small
majority, at the same time it appear
ed to be clean cut and fair. Since
then it has developed, however, that
certain Irregularities in the printing
of the ballots according to the New
Jersey law were discovered and Mr..
Edward A. Kenney, one of the can
didates made protest.
Also Frederick l.. Smith, another of
the candidates, secured this week a
court order for a recount on the votes
on technical basis and it was grant
ed. ~ iYSI
Mr.. Kenney now comes out with a
second letter addressed to Mayor
Cadien in which he uses some very
violent and positive language and
charges open fraud and Irregularities
in the election. In other words
Mayor Cadien has been elected mayor,
but through trickery. Mr.. kenney
does not mince any words and his
language borders closely upon libel
unless he can substantiate his claims
by more positive facts. AS lawyer
it seems to us he would be wise in
steering clear of such aspersions upon
the integrity of man until he knows
that he is guilty of wrongdoing.
The whole situation Is most I'M
fortunate. Few people believe that
Mayor Cadien has become party to
any evil practice in politics although
such things have been done. In his
case there was no necessity for him
resorting to any unfair practice be-
cause had he lost the election 1t is
believed he would have proven good
sport and acknowledged himself beat
en- without protest.

lea, England and Japan so far as their
navies were concerned, to the extent
of stopping all shipbuilding now in
progress and the scrapping of more
than sixty great warships, first class
battleships of the line, America fur
nishing more than either of the two
other countries, and at loss of over
$500, 100000. That was beginning right
and in the most unselfish manner.
That the world was stunned was to be
expected. 1t was the only way to
begin on process of stopping all war.
If countries were not prepared for
war they could not have war. Ger
many was armed to the teeth, and that
is why she challenged the world. If
all the leading nations go unprepared
they are not going to fight again in a
hurry That is logic. That America
took the initiative in the very begin
ming of disarmament negotiations, was
wonderful display of sagacious
diplomacy. 1t wa sa coup without par
of any who might have had views of
their own. But it was all SO fine and
big and natural that no suggestion Of
objection was made, because none
could be offered. The plan was too
clean. They either all wanted what
Mr.. Hughes proposed or they were
there for the outing and not for bust
ness Do it now is what Mr.. Hughes
put down. So far there have been no
dissenters. England ratified the pro-
posal Immediately, with Japan giving
quasi acceptance.

An Ignorant Emigrant

President Masaryk Of Czecho-S lovak
gave utterance to a thought that
should be repeated all over the United
States every Independence Day. He
said: Independence will not preserve
and save nation. 1t is only the
measure to attain the righteous living
of a nation" If there are people living
by means of the monopoly of the
sources Of wealth, on the earnings of
others, are they living righteously?
And do they not help or even force 9th
ers to live unrighteOusly? Shall it not
be our task to remove these evils by
the rectification of the laws whereby
such monopolies are established and
maintained? We will do well to heed
the words of this ignorant (O uncul-

SERVING AS WATSoN'S sUBSTI
TUTE

Slowly but surely the position
Sun-that Thomas E. Watson, now
serving a term in the United States
senate, ought to secure the release Of
David Z. Blodgett, now serving a term
in the United States penitentiary, or
else "get in with him is being es-
tablished; in fact, it has come to be
asserted by none other than Blodgett
himself.
AS has already been explained in
these columns, Blodgett was con-
victed, in Iowa, under the espionage
act for reprinting and circulating
speeches made by Thomas e. Watson
during the war; when the latter was
so viciously assailing the Government,
the draft act and the nations war
activities generally-for which his
own publication, the Jeffersonian, was
denied the use of the mails; though
Watson himself escaped prosecution
and punishment.
say downright unjust that he should
be serving term in a United States
penitentiary for circulating Watson's
seditious speeches, while Watson,
himself, is serving a term-or part of
a term, as the case may be-in the
United States senate; and Blodgett
says so in a letter which he has sent
to President Harding, of which the
following is a part:
Il have been unlawfully imprisoned
almost four years for reprinting a
speech sent unsealed through the
mails by Thomas e. Watson after the
espionage act became a law. If his
speech constituted the crime alleged
against me (for which l am impris-
oned as Senator Watson's substitute)
Congress would not be so tyrannical
as to fail to proceed against him after
having ousted Victor Berger from con-
gress for similar alleged offense."
Blodgett goes on to say that he is,
in reality, merely serving a term in
the penitentiary "as Senator Watson's
substitute" if one looks at it the
right way. And, for the life of us,
we don't see how anyone can look at
it any other way. So. we say again,
watson ought to get Blodgett out, or
else get in with him." columbus

A Good Suggestion

Well, now that the Unemployment
Committee has reported progress, the
problem is in fair way of solution.
1t will take year to formulate real
plan. and meanwhile the unemployed
must remain idle for that period until
the committee tells them just what to
do. How foolish all this waste of
time. Why wait year? The answer
may be summed up in a sentence, "Let
all the unemployed go to work" One
tender heart says the people in the
city should STARVE till they are driv-
Ell into the country. That is the way
