IRELAND FREE AT LAST

When the long continued fight be-
tween Ireland and England got to the
point where it was fighting again or
peace for all time, perhaps, the most
unexpected>finish to the whole thing
came to the delight Of the whole world.
England granted Ireland autonomy, al
lowed her to be called the Irish Free
State and let it go at that No conclu-
sion of debate that had extended
over eight centuries was ever ended so
happily The Irish fought for what
long ago had been granted to Canada
and finally won, no doubt, though the
fine craftsmanship of Lloyd George,
and the act rounded out the old mans
career with flash and crown that will
hold him before the world as the mas
ter diplomat of his time and, perhaps,
for all time, for Lloyd George is the
outstanding world figure today beyond
the shadow of doubt because he in
sists upon doing big things His last
great effort was to the glory of all
concerned, including England, Ireland
and God.

AN ARCHITECTS SUCCESS

An article elsewhere tells OF re-
cent honor that has been conferred on
Mr. Ernest Sibley of Palisade, VINO
has been appointed consulting archl-
tect to the Board of Education OF the
city of Trenton.
About fifteen years ago the editor
Of The Palisadian visited an unpre-
tentious home in Grantwood, where
he was told there lived the architect
who had been the successful competitor
for the Cliffside school, That was the
beginning of Mr.. Sibleys career as
school architect under his own name.
After several years of general prae-
tice he decided TO specialize in school
buildings, and his success has been al
most phenomenal, there now being d
Sibley school on almost every hilltop.
Here in one of our fellow townsmen
is an interesting example of what de-
votion to ideals and breadth OF vision
can accomplish.

"Over the Hill" to
Be in Brentwood

One, of the great epoch-making
photoplays of many years is the
beautiful William Fox photo drama of
mother-love entitled "Over the HILL"
which will be seen at Grantwood
Theater, December II, IS, and 10.
Founded upon the famous poem by
Will Carleton, this simple story of the
devotion of a mother for her children
in spite of the trials and tribulations
to which they subject her, is one of
the most appealing and lovable stories
ever screened. Staged under the
direction of Harry Millarde, it has
relied for it's great strength with the
public upon the simple theme and
plain story of mother and her fam
lily whom she carefully rears and pro-
tectS.
There is no suggestion of big mas
sive scenes, no spectacular effects, no
crowds-nothing but the simple, thrill
ing and powerful story that touches
the heart of all humanity and brings
everyone to realize the love and affec-
ton with which mothers memory
should always be revered.

ton, without any furore of newspaper
fire works, the fame of the simple and
beautiful picture "Over the Hill
spread like wild-fire. All who saw it
sent hundreds of their friends. News
papers hailed it as one of the great
and browning artistic triumphs of the
motion picture world. Clergymen
preached sermons about it. Editors
wrote editorials advising every moth
er's son and daughter to see "Over
the HILL" The result of this word-of-
mouth advertising was to send such
crowds to see "Over the HilP' that
William Fox repeatedly extended the
engagement, leasing one theater after
another and moving "Over the Hill''
continuously until it was finally pre-
scented at six different theaters on
Broadway. 1t must be remembered
also that "Over the Hill' was pre-
scented in leading first class Broadway
theaters, at the top scale of $500 for
the best seats.
This beautiful and convincing story
and exquisite photoplay of mother
love, is presented with a special
musical setting. 1t begins Saturday,
December II, and runs Sunday and
Monday, following, Is and 10.

A DEFINITION OF LEGAL PICKET
ING.

There is nothing new or revOlu-
tjonary in the opinion of the united
States Supreme Court in the case
of the Tri-City Trades Council, which
had appealed decision of the lower
courts prohibiting picketing. Picket
ing remains as lawful under the decl-
sion as before; certain restrictions are
placed on the practice, however, to IN
sure against the use of Intimidation.
Chief Justice Taft has made 1t plFlh
in his opinion that there should be
no abridgment of the right of strikers
to arque their case with substitutes,
Inf that even peaceful argument be-
comes unjustifiable when it degehef-
ates into persistent annoyance.
The problem of picketing has puZ-
zled both courts and the pubic De
cause of the difficulty of distinguish
ing between persuasion and threat.
THE striker should have a right TO
sneak TO the man who has taken ms
lob. but the man who has the Joo
should be protected in his rlght TO
work. In defining this situation clearly
and in pointing out methods by means
of which both rights may be preserved
the Supreme Court has done service
to unions and employers alike 1here
should be no more thoughtless inJunc-
lions against peaceful picketlng. oll
the other hand, the unions shouiu
take note that their right to picket
depends entirely on the way they go
shout it.-New York World.

From the partisan standpoint Presi-

this week was a big delivery. From
other viewpoints it was not so big. He

great care in dealing with all subjects

months there has been little or no ma

lack a certain broadness that would
tend to add to his stature of liberality
if he would show a little of it. Mr..
Harding is making popular Presi-
dent, but he is not yet advanced very
far in shaking off the shackles of war
that hang heavy about Americahnecks
in the way of whitening prices and
distressing taxation. He wants less Ia
Dor contention, but it is slow in the
realization.

Reserve Banks Rates
Defended by Economist
Easier Money Conditions Must
Precede Reduction, Says
B. M. Anderson Tr.

Continuance of the righ rediscount
rates by the Federal Reserve banks
was defended last night by B. M. An
derson jr., economist of the Chase Ma
tlonal Bank, in an address before the
Bankers Forum of the New York Chap
ter of the American Institute of Bank
ing at the Hotel Pennsylvania
THE needs of the government for
unlimited money during the war;" he
said, "and the heavy expenditures of
the government throughout 1919,
coupled with the Treasury's disposition
to borrow more cheaply than market
conditions justified, forced upon the
Federal Reserve Board the mainte-
nance of much lower rediscount rates
than would otherwise have been the
case. The Federal Reserve rediscount
rates have been lower than market
rates. The return to normal involves a
reversal of this. 1t is eminently de-
sirable that the Federal Reserve banks
should maintain their existing redis-
count rates until our liquioation has
gone far enough to ease the general
money situation. When the period of
easy money comes the rediscount rates
may be lowered, but should still be
kept somewhat above the market rates"
Other speakers were Professor Will
lard c. Fisher, of New York Univer-
sity, and T. c. Powell, vice president of
the Erie Railroad Company.
