prejudice against the Jews, OF any
one else, at the same time he said
he was fighting a condition and not
theory. Mr.. Ford's idea of the
Jews is that they have banded them
selves together as race for the spe-
cific and definite purpose of con-
trolling all of the worlds activities,
their aim being in time to dominate
all creation. One wonders what they
would do with it if they had it? What
good is power without principle? I'm
less the Jew wants to change the
ideals entering into the creation of
mankind and his purposes, it would
do no good to direct all of his affairs
unless he changed the matter of hu-
man nature, and in attempting that
the Jew would merely change God
himself, and make himself greater
than the Supreme Being. Would the
Jew undertake that? How foolish to
cherish the thought. Were the Jews
to get actual control of the world
and all that there is in it, how would
they so change human nature that
they could live in peace forever after
and have a helluva good time the
balance of their days?

CURLING DEBS

Certain newspapers are trying
again to make a hero out of Eugene
Debs. His recent brutal criticism of
President Wilson has caused the au-
thorities to shut off his opportunities
for querulous and seditious speech in
the Atlanta prison, and, for time at
least, he will not create any further
disturbance. For this bit Of discipline
some of the Socialist organs are once
more raving at the great injustice to
Debs and to free speech. The making
of free speech too free is one of the
things the matter with this country to-
day. There is too muclr free speech,
as much as free speech is desirable. It
is desirable only when it asserts itself
along lines of right and truth, and
when it asserts it's right to abuse the
government and it's rulers it is time to
call halt. Free criticism is an entire
ly different thing from free abuse and
name calling. Eugene Debs has set
free enough rotten radical speech
against exalted American institutions
to keep him in prison the rest of his
life. No man has the right under any
Interpretation of free speech to say
one 1.-THE of what he has uttered
against the United States government
or it's President.

ERRATIc REPORTING

AS notable a case of cratic news
paper reporting as was ever recorded
can be cited in the published state
ments of the Flack shooting. Not one
paper outside of Palisade contained
anything like an adequate approach
to the actual facts, which were really
simple enough. For instance, the
Hoboken Observer called Borgstede
"Borgepede," and said "Slack," where
Flack was correct; the Hackensack
News called Bersford Park "Baref-
ford" Park, stating that Judge James
Moore held the hearing, when he
didn't, and described the wound as
being in the cleft" lung, when it was
in the right. The Hackensack News
jumbled the various bonds required of
Borgestede, not having one fact right
The New York papers were almost
as bad. Any kindergarten school
could have done better than these re-
ports presented. The names were not
difficult for this section, and there can
be little excuse for such Grass igno-
rance, even among cub reporters.

MR.. SECRETARY HUGHES

At last there is light on the Harding
cabinet. The one post he has filled to
everybody's delight Is secretary of
state He is our American premier,
and Mr.. Hughes represents a type of
man competent from abilities alone
more than any other candidate the
President elect had before him. Elihu
Root, from the viewpoint of knowledge
of the foreign situation, was well equip
ped, but he lacks the conscious virility
embodied in Mr. Hughes, besides his
judicial mind is not nearly so well
adapted to the work before the world
at this time. Mr.. Hughes is the very
best choice that could have been made,
and the country is at least indebted to
Mr.. Harding for resisting the ultra
wing of his party, that sought to have
him make another selection Mr.
Hughes should make his term of Office
notable, for he comes in at a time
when sound judgment and nerve to en-
force his policies will be in demand.

Mrs. Becker's Lecture

Mrs May Lamberton Becker's last
lecture in Grantwood at the home of
the w. J. McDonalds was one of her
best. Her subject was the works and
plays of John Galsworthy. She singled
out the play, "The Skin Came" and
made it the leading topic of her talk.
Galsworthy made his greatest fame on
his plays, though the lecturer made
fitting allusion to his novels, character
izing them as worthy and Of high
literary value.
In dramatic manner the lecturer
sketched his well known play, 'The
Skin Came" of the struggle between
the old aristocratic English gentleman
and his wife, with the manufacturer
who works the skin game and who
must it seemed be met with his own
weapons, but at the close the Eng
lish gentleman asks his wife: "When
we went into this game, our hands
were clean, are they clean now?"

BERNsToRFF ELUcIDATEs

Count Won Bernstorff, former minis
ter to the United States from Germany,
is out this week in a statement that
had his government listened to the
common sense he tried to instil into it
in 1916 America would not have been
drawn into the war. The gist of what
he undertakes to portray is that he
tried to keep America out of the war
and could have done so. He feels that
the Lusitania incident of itself was
the real beginning of the war spirit in
America. 1t will be recalled that the
amiable count did his darndest to keep
American travellers off of the fated
ship, because he was satisfied that the
war party in Germany was resolved
to wage submarine warfare as the one
certain method of winning the war.
He thinks that Germany had the war
won in 1916, but the blunders of his
people forced us into the fray.
This is all very interesting at this
time, but none of it is really new.
Germany might have been sure she had
the war won, and she might have been
Indifferent to Americas entry, but she
slipped a cog in that thought and final
ly came a cropper There are doubt
less many more chapters from the
Bernstorffian portfolios of the war that
will come to light but nothing that he
or anyone may say at this time will
alter the main contention that she bit
off more than she could chew, to use a
vulgarism.

1t may be that he will have to deter
mine some of the most important for
eign policies ever handled by any man
in the office. True, the events appear
ing in Mr.. Wilson's terms of office were
the most staggering Of any that ever
came up before the world, but we are
now at the Threshold of the read5ust-
ment period, and if Mr.. Hughes does
not play conspicuous part in shaping
world policies it will surprise his host
of admiring friends. He adds luster to
an almost hopeless SITUATION.

MORAL "STUFF"

The New York illustrated Daily
News, the Working Girls Own, is run
ming a Morals" column, trying tt
prove or disprove that morals of today
are worse and no worse than former
standards. 1t is having hard time
establishing any standard at all, the
gist of most that it publishes being
that each person is the responsible one
rather than any custom or pattern SCI
through what may be called THE
times" Here are few samples of the
"stuff" hashed up daily:
Editor Daily News.
May say to Mrs. Homeseeker'
that morality is not a matter of
years any more than it is matter
of geography. Vice is vice today
just as it was fifty years ago. I'm
morality, no matter how gilded
with cheap sentimentality, has the
same stencil amidst the blazing
lights of Broadway that it has in
Gopher Prairie. BY vice and i'm
morality I refer not only to the
actual act but to those outward
symbols by which women reveal
their conceptions of decency and
morality-their conduct, speech
and dress-in public and private.
Any allusion that you may make
to cigarette smoking women being
respectable is an insult to every
decent woman in the community.
The cigarette in the mouth of
woman today means just exactly
what the scarlet letter meant on
a womans breast in the sterner
days of our Puritan ancestry.

wear short skirts, thin hosiery,
rouge, use lip-stick, use slang,
smoke and dance. All of the
things which Mrs. Homeseeker"
~taboos. When started out in the
business world was what you
might call green" Just a little
girl with 1900" ideas. But,
Mrs. Homeseeker," those ideas
don't "get by" today. An advance
1921 model is what is demanded.
The quiet "home town type" has
far more "up her sleeve" than
many girl who smokes in a gay
cabaret. You don't believe this?
Perhaps not, but I know it to be
a fact. Help us along, but please
don't nag.

MR.. FORD AND THE JEWS

The controversy between Henry
Ford and the Jews of the world has
reached a stage of public indifference,
though for the first time Mr. Ford
last week undertook to tell through

take our place next year, and In all
the years to come. There will be flow
ers upon these graves this ear.
Gradually the cemetery became de-
serted except for a few who fingered.
A group of marines stood about the
grave. Of a comrade very dear. Its
marker was Of stone and bore these
words: "a true soldier beloved of his
comrades" At one side a lad stood
weeping and told US that his brother
fell beyond the German lines.
Madame Gounelle, Georges and his
mother came and talked with us. Love
and sympathy shone in their faces as
they told us of the honor that was
thought of Georges letter and his offer
of the friendship of "a little French
man" Deep in u hearts there will
live forever a memory Of this little
~Frenchman." 4
1t was just the loving kindness Of a
kindly people and was thus, no matter
where we went. Pilgrimages to the
cemeteries at Suresness, Chalons,
Fismes, Chatel-Guyon only served to
deepen our gratitude to them.
Oh, Mothers OF America, you need
not fear. Again the mother hearts in
France will leap the wide expanse Of
sea and utter a prayer for you as they
drop their flowers upon our graves this
year.
And above those glorious crosses,
wherever they may be, ever floats Old
Glory. as she whispers to the breeze:
l called them and they followed;
I guard them in their sleep.

SPLIT OR ROUND
FENCE POSTS, WHICH?

Some people believe split fence
posts last longer than do round ones.
Probably as large a number hold the
opposite view. The Forest Products
Laboratory of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture says that
one will last about as long as the
other if the percentage of heartwood
and sapwood are the same in both.
If the percentage of sapwood is in
creased by splitting, the split post
will be less durable, while if the per-
centage of heartwood is increased it
will be more durable than the round
one. Exceptions to this should be
made if the posts are of spruce, hem
lock, or any of the true frs, whose
heartwood and sapwood are about
equally durable.

STR0vE FOR HUMAN LIBERTY
Armies Under the Stars and Stripes
Had Always the NobIest Aims
Man May Know.

For two decades the recurrent OBJ
%rvanc of Memorial day has been
the regretful text for comment upon
the dwindling line of "The Boys in
Blue The World wal has given an
added significance to the exercises of
the day, which in all the years to
come will be dedicated also to "The
Boys in Khaki" the young men of
this generation who so nobly carried
on the noble record established by
the men of the early sixties. And In
between room will be preserved for
the veterans Of the war with Spain
in Cuba and the Philippines.
1t is a proud tradition hat In each
Of these wars the armies beneath the
Stars and Stripes fought for human
liberty, not for greed of territory or
lust of power, but. in the immortal
words Of Lincoln, that government of
the people should not perish. And the
outcome in each has justified the
faith that conquer we must when our
cause it is just" A people that takes
up the sword only in such csrcumstan-
ces and with such spirit finds in the
solemn ceremonies of Memorial day
d symbolism Of patriotism, an avowal
of faith tl.at can never be quenched.

SOME FOOLISH THINGS
DONE BY CAR DRIVERS

Fail to heed the squeak that calls
for oil.
Take. a car out before knowing
whether it it properly fabricated.
Attempt to start without being
sure the brakes are released.
Make adjustments OF car before
we know whether or not we are right
just trusting to luck and the god of
simpletons.
Fold the top back when wet, not
knowing or careless about rapid de-
terioration.
Let your engine labor up a steep
hill without dropping to low gear.
Find it too much trouble t. keep
our brakes adjusted-or at least too
much trouble to keep our mind on it.
Neglect to familiarize ourselves
with the use of the hand lever brake
and thus be prepared for emergen-
cies.
Fail to release the clutch before
shifting gears.
Accelerate too quickly, and so en-
joy the car jumping and the motor
pounding.
Fail to examine the car occasion
ally for loose nuts and bolts.
Race the engine under any and all
circumstances when we feel like it.
Forget all about covering the ra-
diator and hood with a blanket or
robe when the car is left standing
in the cold, and that doing so would
keep much of the heat in the cooling
system and facilitate the starting of
the motor.
Allow your car to stand in pud-
dies of water or oil, while PERFECTLY
aware that neither one is good for
your tires.
Overlook the fact that pan, engine
and other mechanical parts of a car
should be kept clean.
Drive fast and attempt to stop
suddenly on a wet pavement.
Start engine with the switch turn
ed off or without gas in the tank.

Scene Most Picturesque.

Beyond the wall masses of purple
lilacs spread against the low red roofs
of the houses. In the distance a few
lazy clouds, in sky of blue, hung about
the old cathedral spires. Bird calls
and scent of flowers filed the air. At
our feet low mounds and white
crosses. Above our heads, at half mast,
the Stars and Stripes.
Monsieur Gounelle, in black cassock,
spoke in French and explained to his
people he meaning of Memorial day.
One felt, instinctively, their sympathy
and love.
Then we laid on every grave a spray
of flowers and breathed a prayer for
the absent ones. Each girl felt per-
sonally responsible for each mound In
the row she decorated. How clear the
names on those crosses stood out even
though a year had passed.
The French officers laid a wreath at
the foot of the flag pole and one Of
them spoke with tenderness of the he
roes who had gone on. Already there
hung upon the pole lovely wreaths
from the Vile de C%hateauroux, from
the French mothers association, and
other local organizations.
The chaplain from the post at Mon
t%ierchaume addressed US, and then
three volleys ran out upon the air,
the missives winging their way over

Only the slow chiSel of time car
carve the truth Of history. That which
we debate holly and surround with
words and eagerness and doubts and
disappointments fades and is forgot
ten. Some simple fact, seldom upon
Il tongues and too obvious to be dis
cussad, is left standing against the
horizon.
The beginning of some such revalua-
ton made itself felt on Memorial day
Last year. In the cOmmemOratiOn OF
the day here and abroad there was a
silent power that all who participated
could not but feel. Tears were nearer
the surface thar any one suspected,
memories more poignant. The very
thought of our dead lying in the soil Of
France, their graves covered with flow
ers by the hands Of French
and French children, the bugIes of
their French comrades blowing yer
them, stirs the deeps of reverence and
loyalty.
A, scene in France, in one of the
largest cemeteries in which American
soldiers are buried. is thus beautifully
described:

placed a bugle to his lips. Upon the

Girls Scatter VioIets.
But wait. Who are these? Out of

French girls, to scatter violets upon
our graves. And they told US, oh
mothers of America, that they would

About Digestion

1t is claimed that only half as much
food is required when it is thorough
ly masticated. Digestion begins in
the mouth and a thorough mastica-
ton of the food is of the greatest
Importance. When needed take

the digestion and insure a regular
movement of the bowels.
