Calling a Spade an Excavator

Why can't newspaper writer's use
plain language that every one can I'M
derstand? Read this president Hard
ing speaks of conference on disar-
mament. Perhaps there should be a
prior conference on economic disarma-
ment and a peace of unimpeded eco
nomic intercourse" Now, why use the
last three instead of two plain, univer
sally understood words-'free trader"
One would think to see the way these
writer's dodge that the words 'free"
and "trade" were swear words, not to
be uttered in the family circle, to say
nothing of the balconies and boxes.
Then the writer says that President
Wilson tried to give the world peace
through the political means, but Presi-
dent Harding might find more work
able plan through economic means, and
l quite agree with him, for peace can
only come through free trade.

Foolish Public

Suppose these buildings were run as
we run the g0vernment-the ground
floor space practically given to the first
applicant, the second floor to the sec
ond and so on till the top floor is dis
posed of The next newcomers are
forced to rent their offices from the
first "owner" and then the second till
the building IS filed Everyone using
the elevators buys tickets for each trip.
Then in order to meet the expense of
running the building the building own
ers send men through the building and
examine the books of every tenant to
see how much money they have made
so as to levy an income tax. Mean
while the first Corners draw the highest
rentals they can squeeze out of the
tenants" They do not need to do
business; they pocket the rental mon
ey. The picture is so absurd that it
seems incredible. and Yet we run our
government on this plan. Don't you

Thoughts Of Today
Playinu Fair


The only musical instrument I ever
learned to play is the Victrola. After
a little practice l found 1 could pro-
duce the most exquisite melodies. We
have baby grand piano, but it would
make no difference if / were to wait
till it was a great grandfather piano
could never produce original music.
This is the condition of many citizens
in politics. They can only reproduce
the thoughts and speeches of the lead
ers of their parties or their party
newspapers. They shrink from the
idea of independent thought, which in
almost all cases will be found to pro-
coed from mental Incidence. This apa-
thy on the part of the majority of
voters is the main cause of the eco
monte evils from which we suffer. To
think correctly is of vital Importance
to the safety and welfare of the ma
ton. People of this mental caliber do
injury to others, though they may es-
cape or even profit by their actions
ANY who will gain at the expense of
their neighbOrs are not good citizens,
and it is source of regret that they
must have votes.

Another Perplexed Philosopher

Joseph Dana Miller, editor of the
Single Tax Review, has written an
open letter to Samuel Untermyer re-
garding the latter's suggestion of APP
pointing a state board of control over
employers and employees. In this let
ter Mr.. Miller points out the absurdity
of the attempt to settle such a question
by a board of control. Mr. Miller, how
ever observes that so many SOcialistic
features have been added to our gov
eminent that one or two more will
make little difference, but that Mr.
Untermyer should expect to secure any
satisfactory results would only lead
him to failure and disappointment
Contractors and laborers are like two
cats tied by the tail and suspended
over clothesline. What will the ami
mills do till released? Fight, of course,
and tear each other to pieces. Would
you appoint board of control to stop
their fighting? How much easier to
cut their bonds and let them down to
the ground. THAT is the only solu-
ton of the question. Till men are free
from the horrors of unemployment
they cannot live peacably.

Wise Landlords

All office and loft buildings in all big
cities are operated under the single
tax plan. The floor space is rented out
generally by leasing. according to the
value of the location, greatest in the
ground floor and least on the top story,
everything being calculated by the an
nual value per square foot. Nobody
rents more than he can use. and no.
body speeulates in unoccupied floor
space. Elevators. janitor service.
steam heat and light are all freq, no
city taxes. no water rates. How good
of the owners to furnish all these @acil-
tiles for nothing! All you have to do
is to pay rentfor your floor space. You
can ride up and down on the eley ltors
all day if you wish. For when did hny-
one abuse the privilege?

ACES PET SAD LION
Cub Adopted as Mascot by
Yankees Now Sorry Sight.
Garden Keepers From Putting End
to Brute.

PariS.-The lion cub which was
adopted as mascot by the Lafayette
squadron of aviators, the first of the
Americans to come to fight and die for
France in the war, now is melan-
choly spectacle in the Paris zoologi-
cal gardens but the keepers refuse to
kill him because of the sentiment re-
American fighters.
One eye is missing, much of his
hair is gone, he seems decrepit with
age, and, if met in the desert, his
appearance would inspire nothing but
pity. The Indignation of some men,
bers of society for prevention Of
cruelty to animals has been aroused
by his mournful appearance.
why don't you chloroform the poor
old fellow?" a visitor asked of the
head keeper the other day.
'What do you mean by old fell
lowT" retorted the keeper. THAT
lion Is only four years old. He is a
victim of the war. If that lion is
lame it is because he got rheumatism

Smart Aleck
Fling at Palisade

There is gloom in that exclusive res
idential burg of Palisade, says Mon
days Hackensack Record, overlooking
the majestic Hudson river, because the
appeal from the decision of the State
Highway Commission to run the new
Route No. 10 through Bluff road, in
the very heart of the town, has been
turned aside, as it were.
Bluff road is a narrow street, so
narrow that the sidewalk will have to
be moved back directly under the win
dOws of two residences near Anderson
avenue, their lawns being reduced to
that degree.
The eXclusiveness will thus be re-
moved from Palisade-the attractive
little residential section of Fort Lee
borough with restrictions that made
quiet living there ideal-for the CEN
ter of the settlement will thus become
IL main artery of all travel to and from
the Edgewater ferry. Doubtless, Pail
SADIE will have to provide a traffic Of
ficer for the crossing at Bluff road and
Anderson avenue, for there would be
with no one to direct the thousands of
autoists passing that point either one
way or the other.
An attempt was made to have the
route, after leaving the top of the cliff,
to run further north to Central Boule-
ward and then cut across south to the
route west of Anderson avenue. The
ho III
the statement that it would cost $685.
600 to make this extra loop, and that
was prohibitive. SO the route will be
carried right through the center of
Palisade, and soon everything from
an energetic "Lizzie' to Il monster
truck will be rafting and rumbling
through this at present quiet, artistic
little community.
The route leaves River road about
two blocks above the Edgewater fer
ry, runs in northwesterly direction
toward the Palisades and then takes
Il big swing and runs south, but up
ward, to point few yards north of
the Palisades Amusement Park en-
trance. The grading is about com
pleted to that point, and the little To-
connective and the monster steam shov-
Ell are now seen at the top of the cliff.
The route follows the Hudson river
trolley line west as far as Della ave-
nue., where it crosses by bridge south
erly toward Ridgefield, thence connect
ing with the Bergen turnpike
Just why this very expensive work
was undertaken is probably best
known to the Highway Commission"
said Palisade resident to an Evening
Record representative. "The same
traffic that uses the Fort Lee turnpike,
through Hackensack and so on north.
will be expected to use the new route.
They told us the purpose was to elimi.
nate the steep grades of the hills on
either side of Fort Lee proper, but one
quarter or less of the sum spent on
this new route would have reduced
these grades and improved River road
with amiesite.
This new route doubtless means
new bridges over the Overpeck and
at Little Ferry over the Hackensack
and l don't know that autoists care
so much about travelling roads along
side trolley tracks"
Work has been going on all
through the winter, but it will doubt
less be several months before the road
will be fit for travel.
