BERGDOLL'S RETURN

Grover Bergdoll's dislike of this
country, which grew out of the fact
that it put him in Jail as Stacker, is
apparently not as great as his anxiety
about the money he left here. 1t is
evident that he prefers to be prosper
Gus in America rather than to be pop
ular in Germany. He has announced
that he is coming back to take his
medicine"
Bergdoll set an extremely bad ex-
ample for youths of his kind during
the war He deliberately refused to
fight for the country which had sup
piled him with fortune and employ
ed large sum to get him out Of the
tolls into which he fell as result of
his lack of patriotism.
1t is to be hoped that when he re-
turns he will discover that the Ameri-
can memory is not as bad as he ap-
parently believes it is. If ever man
needed an effective dose of "medi'
cine" it is Bergdoll.-New York Trib-

ABoL,SHiNG LOCAL ASSESSORS

Anyone who has paid the slightest
attention to the manner in which
property is assessed for taxation in
the various parts of Bergen County
will be willing to give hearty ap-
proval to the suggestion of DR.. Van
Dyke of Rutgers College, who has
made a study of the situation for the
State Board of Education. that all tax
assessments should be levied by the
State and not by local assessors.
All valuations should be made un-
der the direct supervision of the
State Board of Taxation for the pur-
pose of securing uniformity. not
merely within the municipality itself.
which is sufficiently important. but to
secure returns that are practically
uniform throughout the entire State
on property of the same value. Only
in this way, DR.. Van Dyke points out
can justice and equality be made to
prevail in the leyying and collecting
OF State and school taxes. While his
survey has to do primarily with
school taxes, his conclusions are
equally sound when extended to the
matter of taxes in general,
AS an example of what incompe-
tent, prejudiced or ignorant assessors
can do in the way of creating tax in
equalities the Hudson Observer will
shortly publish a number of pictures
taken in the borough of Fairview
which will show as words could not
possibly do the injustice of the pres
ent system in all its stark, sheer rot
tenness, especially when manipulated
for political purposes. 1t would be
bad enough if Fairview were the
only municipality thus affected, but
unfortunately there are others-many
others s-and it is not likely they are
all in Bergen County, either-Hudsor

Watching Clifside
High
Wal r.xJ Tax1eon
With Carl Carlson

Defeated, but not disgraced,' was
the verdict given by every sportsman
last Saturday afternoon after they
had witnessed one of the most Cruel
ing, exciting and heart-breaking foot
ball games ever staged at Englewood.
Cliffsides warriors left the field
whitewashed, defeated by one touch
down, but praised by the officials and
all concerned for their clean, good
playing.
Neither team scored in the first half,
although both teams came dangerous
ly near doing so.
The third quarter found Englewood
holding sway and marching down the
field within a yard of Cliffside's line.
The Cliffside fighting spirit was
then shown when Englewood lost the
ball after four tries.
However, on a kick formation Borel-
Ii threw a forward towards Loretto,
but, sad to relate, the ball never reach
ed Loretto, going plumb into the
hands of Colwell, who ran about thir-
ty yards for touchdown.
Neidlinger, a cousin of the famous
Yale quarterback, failed to make the
score to 0.
This was the second time this sea
son that Cliffside has lost games
through the interception of a forward.
peanuts" Sutter, halfback for En-
glewood, was throttled by the Cliffside
lads when he tried to get Off some of
his famous end runs, but in all fair
ness to Sutter it may be said that he
sure did do some nifty defensive play
ing.
"Beany' Borelli almost brought
heart failure to every Englewood
rooter when he made forty yards off
end with three minutes to go, he be-
ing tackled on the ten-yard line.
Then Englewood took the ball on
downs, the whistle blowing a minute
later
In preparation for the Englewood

afternoon after school in the audito-
rum. Coach Gemme spoke and in
formed all the students that special
car was hired for the game and would
offer, and it induced many to come to
the game who could not afford to do
so otherwise. Junior" Sears led the

DOES AUToMOBlLING PRoLoNG
LIFE?

Does the automobile lengthen life?
The pert paragrapher, seizing his op-
portunity, will here declare that it
often shOrtens existence, but Mr..
X. b. Belknap, comptroller of the Lex
ington Motor Company, gives statis-
tics proving, he believes, that life has
been heightened by the increased use
of the car We quote him:
1t has been found that whereas
the life span of the average Amer
ican in 1903 was only 1854 years
as then estimated by insurance
statisticians-it has now jumped
to 4S.6.
In this connection it is interest
ing to note that in 1903 there
We're only 10,S00 autos in Amer
ica. In 1913, when motor cars
had advanced to 461 500, the life
span of the average person had
increased to 41.04 years. In the
past ten years the motor car pop
ulation has jumped to 13.002,427,
and the national life expectancy
has risen 1865 years.
Now certainly. Mr.. Belknap doesn't
mean that the increased use of the
automobile is the only cause of the
heightened life. He means that it is
one of the causes, though an impor-
tant one.
Can anybody fairly doubt this?
Aladdin's lamp had within it power
to construct palace for Aladdin. The
motor car enables the man to escape
from the confining castle of the sky
scraper. from life-squeezing walls, out
into the open of pure air and life
strengthening sunshine. The motor
car offers relaxation. 1t offers escape
from worries. Though the wild flow
ers of spring and autumn and summer
will not grow on Main street, the au-
tomobile enables man to escape
from Main street to the wide spaces
where the wild flowers do grow
Doctors tell us that golf is good
for the health. and millions of bus
ness men have taken the doctors
word. Would they have taken that
word if automobiles We're rarity?
Since, for the most part. the golf
links are distant from the business
part of the city, would they have
found it easy to reach those links
after business hours. and, not finding
it easy, would they have tried to
reach them?
The newspaper spreads across it's
front page the terrible automobile
accident, for the public eagerly de-
YOURS such news The fact that this
or that mans life has been prolonged

"BEcAUsE WE ARE NEIGHsoRS"

A good neighbOr in any community
one of the gifts of life. Not all people
know the neighbor meaning. Ere
quently people live close together yet
are as strangers. 1t is our duty to
be neighborly and to right thinking
people it is a pleasure. Some of our
strongest friendships in life are built
up between neighbors. "He was my
neighbor for years" is a mighty good
legacy for us to leave. 1t means a lot
when spoken by some one who knew
us. Spoken in proper spirit this lit
tie sentence is a sermon in itself.
Then there are other kinds of neigh
bors, those who never lend a helping
hand until they want something. They
seldom visit: seldom send over across
the way a bit of fine cake or some
extra fine fruit, or other thoughtful
acts like these. But there come the
political campaigns. 1t is here that
the unneighborly neighbor begins to
get thick. "Why, Brown" he says to
the man next door, "HOW are you
How are the little ones and the
Missus? Haven't been able to get
over lately. Been so awfully busy.
You know how it is. Who're you 60
ing to vote for? Oh, don't do that
Let me tell you We are neighbors.
We know each other. | know this
game of politics. Don't vote that
ticket. Why, we'll be ruined if he
gets in. That fellow has neither sense
nor principle. He wouldn't make a
Mayor for a yellow dog. He amt fit
for anything. Now you just remem-
Der we are neighbors, and you do as
| say. We must stand together You
know. BECAUSE WE ARE NEIGH
BORIS, and | wouldn't fool you"
Certainly not. Nobody would want
to be fooled by neighbor And so
the pussy-footing goes on BECAUSE
WE ARE NEIGHBORS."
