BREAKING A MUSICAL IDOL

A brutal deed was done recently at
the Paris Conseryatoire. They took
six old viOlins, including instruments
made by Stradivarius and Amati, and
six modern violins and had them play
ed in the dark before an audience of
musicians. Neither the player nor the
listeners knew in what order the vio-
Inns were played. The critical audience
took notes as the blind contest went
on. Afterward they voted for No. l.
No. Z, No. - or whatever number the
violin whose tone they liked best was
disguised under. Modern violins won
first and second hOnors.
Thus the conservatory destroyed an
old superstition. 1t was suggestive
ordeal. Suppose the same test should
be applied to other ancient things wide
ly believed in and beloved? Old wines,
old cheese, old pictures, old pipes-is
the faith in these to be annihilated by
such iconoclasts as these Parisians?
We hear New Workers often say that
the old subway is better than the new
one Is it possible they are wrong?-

Thoughts Of Today
Our Land System Abroad

Surgeon General Gorgas made the
Panama canal possible. Had he not
destroyed the mosquitoes they would
have destroyed all the laborers. But
when he began to operate he found an
impossible barrier in the way-the
land owner. These fellows owned all
the swamps, the wild land and jungle
which never had and under present
conditions could not be cultivated.
But they OWNED it. They demanded
impossible sums of money for their
worthless property, and the eyes of
the general opened. HE SAW THE
CAT. He saw the iniquity of theii
claims and became a protested single
taxer. Among the last of his acts
was the sending of a contribution to
the national treasurer of the Single
Tax Party. What pity we have so
few public men with such insight and
such conscience.

MAYOR cADIEN REELECTED

The reelection of Mayor John c.
Cadien of the borough of C1iffside Park
this week was a tribute to the integrity
and ability of that fearless young poll
tician that Is sincerely appreciated by
his hosts of friends and admirers who
stuck to his colors when the attacks
upon him were thickest and when they
came so fast and from so many direc-
tiOns that lodging them or accounting
for their great number seemed well
nigh impossible. 1t is seldom that in
small community public officer is as
sailed as was Mayor Cadien, yet
through it all he bore himself with
courage and dignity beftting his ster-
ling manhood. The strange part of
these chapters of opposition Is that
nothing evil that could be said of John
C. Cadien was in the slightest degree
deserved. Through a long period Of
years he has devoted his time, his en-.
ergies and his talents to the interests
of Cliffside Park, and through all kinds
of weather, cold, heat, rain, snow and
sleet. he has been ever at the duties of
looking after the interests of his peo-
ple. What more could be asked or eX-
pected? His fidelity to duty in times
of stress and dire need has been most
admirable, and none know this better
than his traducers. How foolish, then,
to attempt to defeat man of his CALI
her for office-the best in the gift of
the people! Mayor Cadien went
through the campaign unruffied, undis-
turbed, holding to the same calm mind,
the same cool judgment that have been
his sustaining guides throughout his
several administrations That he has
now been honored by the electorate
once more Is alike credit to him and
a tribute to the judgment of his follow
ers. That the affairs Of the borough
will be satisfactorily administered goes
without saying, seeing that once again
they are In capable hands.

a WORD ON TUMuLTTs WILSON

With all consideration for the great
world benefit in the work now doing
by Joseph Tdmnlty in giving Wood
row Wilson as Knew Him" there is
a certain interesting popularity about
1t as a whole as far as it has gone
that compels the belief that Mr.. Tu-
multy is relating at the same time
what he thinks of himself as a politi-
clan. There are innumerable instances
OF how he brought himself forward in
the career of Mr. Wilson, whether by
intent or because he was a necessity
to the incident. Whatever it is, one
almost wishes at times that more of
what Wilson thought or did himself
were injected into the story rather
than so much of what Mr.. Tumulty
made necessary. Mr.. Wilson must
have thought much of Mr.. Tumulty
and relied more largely upon his judg-
ment. at times than he did on his own,
else he could not countenance much
that is being printed in the Tumulty
narrative. 1t must not be understood
that anything Mr. Tumulty has said Is
ODJtCllOlldDlt tACtDI tildL part VI II
.savors far too much of the personal,
not to say the ego side of the history.
And while what Mr.. Tumulty Is relat-
ing could not in the nature of it be al
together impersonal 1t could neverthe-
less have been freed from much of the
ultra personal Mr.. Wilson is a great
personality. History is going to place
him high in its list of immortals, and
1t is to be regretted that there cannot
be a history of intimate knowledge of
his real bigness written that will show
him as he was, outstanding and alone,
ASSOCIATED from any other influence.
circumstantial or human. Mr.. Tumul-
ty, Of course, excuses his motive by
making his history of Wilson purely
PERSONAL---VERY. is, related personally
as to his own association with Mr. Will
son. Biographies have not been best
written that way. If, for instance, the
now famous telegram dictated by Mr..
McCombs at the Baltimore convention
had not been presented just as Mr..
Tumulty gave it, it would have been
much more effective-that is, If 1t had
been given to the world as a reporter
would have chronicled the event, with
no other association with 1t than what
Mr.. Wilson had had himself, it would
have been a truer climax to great
historical incident and would have
fastened more certainly the stigma
that McCombs wOve about himself In
the selfish ends he was trying to es-
tablish at the time.
But these criticisms may not be JUS
titled, for Mr.. Tumulty may at heart
have very different feeling from the
selfishly personal. At at any rate he
is contributing a wonderful value to
the world in these "reminiscences.

HELPING HAND ASSOCIATION

Despite the heavy rain, the monthly
meeting of the Helping Hand Associa-
ton of the Christian Home for Or
phans was well attended on Tuesday
afternoon at the Home and much bust
ness was transacted.
Final plans were completed for the
coming musicale.
The four chairmen of the respective
towns around are securing goodly
quantity of cake for the occasion, the
musical program is fair to be excellent
and many are anticipating the after
noon of November II.
1t was suggested that children's
clothing be asked for and automobiles
were offered for the transportation,
also that the neighboring Sunday
Schools be asked for any toys, etc,
which the children would bring and
these suggestions were gratefully ac-
cepted by the matron, Mrs. Nelson.

umph would be good thing for Ger
many.
Ludendorff can't understand that
when a people gets into war it loses
sight of things which don't really con-
Germ its existence. 1t will fight for
self preservation, even for self ag-
grandizement But it will not fight for
dynasty or form of government in
whose efficacy it has no real belief
Even Prince Max of Baden cast the
Kaiser overheard when it was seen
that he was an obstacle in the way of
peace. War destroyed the Hohenzol-
lerns, just as it did the Hapsburgs and
the Romanoffs. The German people
are enjoying self government, or a
near approach to it. They got that at
least out of defeat Is it likely that
they will want to be Hohenzollernized
again and organized by Ludendorff for
the war for which he is now acting as
an advance agent?

Heart to Heart

An address to landowners Breth-
rem, what are WE doing to produce
wealth? What an absurd question
We are renting our land to any who
want to use it, of course. But there
are many of US who do not rent our
land? In that case we are increasing
enormously the wealth of the country
by selling it at the right opportunity
for as big as possible an amount of
money above that which we gave for
it. Is this right? OF course it is. 1t
is legal, and that is enough for us.
We need not fear any change in this
system as long as nobody is going to
be fool enough to throw away his vote
that is, by voting for candidates
outside of the great political parties.
Herein dwells our safety. Our strength
lies in the conservation Of ignorance
and Indifference.
