Acceptable to Carriers.

These proposals, it is understood,
will be acceptable to the carriers, as
they will, of course, be acceptable to
the shippers as a measure of relief
from conditions regarded as intoler-
able.
One move in this direction was re-
Gently made by the carriers when lum-
Der rates from the Pacific coast east
were lowered on motion of the car
riers, so that Pacific coast lumber
could move to the East in competition
with that of the Southwest.
Whether the new and lower rates
on other commodities are to be initi-
ated by the carriers, on motion of the
Interstate Commerce commission, or
by the shippers was not made plain,
but it is known that the movement has
the approval of the administration
even if it is not what might be termed
a part of the administration program.

ing, of course, the peace that should
obtain between the employer and the
employee. Now, everybody knows that
strikes and lOckOuts should never Oc-
cur. They are altogether wrong and
indefensible in themselves. SO is war.
The speaker found the only solution of
the problem in "education that would
bring to the minds of the working men
the right kind of thought in the right
kind of way" Well, how are you 60

Thoughts Of Today
Union Loyalty

The coal strike in Great Britain
throws a great illumination on the So
cial problem OF that country. The
raising of the red flag by the miners in
section of Scotland and the attack
on the men engaged in pumping out
the seepage water means that the min
ers are in rebellion against the British
government They are loyal to their
union in preference to the nation. One
can see why easily. The union is the
body to which they look to protect
their wages and to secure them a liv-
ing. The national government has no
interest in them beyond the general
interest it shows toward the insane,
the criminal and the pauper. The
union exists for the miners welfare
alone and hence their attachment
thereto

PALISADES SIXTEENTH BIRTH
DAY.

Palisade is facilitating itself this
week on having reached the 'sweet
sixteen" period of its birth, April II,
1905, being the date from which the
village took its start. A little sym
postum is presented in this issue of
'"rhe Palisadian," giving touches of
compliment and praise to the charm
ing little suburb on the Hudson. From
what is said by these good folk it
would seem that Palisade pitched its
lines in pleasant places, and the flu
ture looks bright and rosy enough to
be very inviting. OF course, as is
the nature of things, changes take
place, and certain things have come
about to make Ralisade slightly diff
ferent from what it was ut the start.
At the same time, changes are nat
uraI in all communities, and there is
nothing that will take away the pres
tige Palisade enjoys as one of the
most inviting and attractive commu-
mites in Bergen or any other New
Jersey county, or suburb of New York
City.

Killing the Goose

There are two elements in political
economy-first, that which is con-
structive, and second, that which is
destructive. One system favors the
production of wealth and the other the
prevention or hindrance of the same.
This rule obtains in everything in ma
ture. Commerce can be encouraged
and developed or it can be discouraged
and destroyed. Capital can be invest
ed in industry or it can lie idle in the
bank. Labor can work or it can limit
production or strike. Our land laws
kill enterprise. Our protective tariffs
are intended to kill off foreign trade,
and we have restrictions to business in
every conceivable form. We are not
yet ready to adopt the constructive ele-
ment.

God Bless and Prosper Palsade

| am grateful for the privilege of

to PaliSade ON the sixteenth anniver-

do, and parents cheat children of their

enough to enable them to see it.
Every normal temperament pines for
the earth at times. 1t is voiced in
beautiful tones by Burroughs, Thoreau,
Emerson, Wordsworth and most mod
ern writer's. The kindly sun, the free
wind balm laden, the grateful color,
the singing of birds. create or fill our
worthiest moods, and these we have in
plenty in our own Palisade. God bless
