She Put It Over

A salesman was showing an
electric iron to a fastidious old
lady. "How much? she asked.
"7.50 complete, replied the sale
man What would it be witout
the cord?"
WELL, the cord is supposed
to go with the iron, so I'd half
to ask you 81. As anyway"
"What? Only a nickle for the
cord?"
/" Yes! just nichle. F"
Good, it was only the cord l
wanted!" she said as she depos
tied a five cent piece on the coun-
ter, and tripped timidly out of
the store with the coveted cord.

FRANCE SHOULD PAY

Ambassador Jusserand has taken
the American position that while

and plenty of time, she ought to pay
as soon as she could, and ought to

FIT. LEE BOARD OF EDUCATION

Elsewhere, Judge James d. Moore,
of Fort Lee, presents some strong
views on the present conditions sur
rounding the Board OF Education.
What he says Is interesting, and ne
makes some very plain objections to
the system as at present operated.
For instance, he thinks that the Su-
pervisor of Schools should be resi-
dent of the borough instead of being
a nonresident of the county, state and
borough, even after promise over
year ago that he would move in"
Judge Moore also presents his views
on the idea of having a member OF
the board act as paid secretary. He
thinks it is not good management to
have a member OF the board paid a
salary when the others are not, so
that in the present state of things the
secretary member can vote on his
own salary and do other things the
others cannot. AS there are five can
didates up at the coming school cleo
tion, judge Moore believes that spe-
cial thought should be given the mat
ters to which ne draws attention.
Only four new members are to be
chosen, so three Of the seven candi-
dates will be dropped. Palisade has
been given two members on the board,
one to be chosen at this election.
That suitable, strong, willing men,
Der should be chosen goes without
saying. There has not been the best
of attention given school matters by
some OF the members at various times.
The School Board is an important
body, and requires the best talent to
conduct its affairs. And the least sug-
gestion of politics there is on 1t the
better. Some ambitious persons have
1tven Seen out To c5lrt of the Board
of Education, and this should never
occur. 1t is bad thing to play poll
tics with the School Board.

A CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

What is known as a central high
school to be operated by two or more
municipalities that might not be able
to build suitable high school for
themselves, has been talked of from
time to time in various sections.
Judge Fake, who has been raking the
tax issue in Bergen fore and aft in
recent weeks, is solid1y in favor of
the inter-municipal high school idea.
So Is Judge James D. Moore, of Fort
Lee, who has previously given express
sion to some very strong views on this
subject. Here we have Fort Lee, that
cannot have a proper high school
building because heretofore the tax
payers have voted against the pro-
posal on account of the exorbitant
taxes that have so long prevailed.
Edgewater, also, is another borough
without high school facilities. 1t would
be an ideal thing for Edgewater and
Fort Lee to combine on the INTERIOR
ough idea and build joint school
between them. Some central point
could be selected, and the idea would,
or, at least, should, meet with gen.
eral APPROVAL Palisade would be an,
ideal central point for this kind of
joint arrangement, and it is to be
hoped that the two borough boards
can soon get together and formulate
a plan.<

PROPOSALS TO DUST CAMPBELL

Many persons have suggested, in
one way or another, that the Bergen
Evening Record ought now to take
the lead in movement which will
have for its object the adoption OF
the Walsh Commission Government
act in Hackensack in order to remove
from office Mayor N. Demarest Camp
bell.
They say that irrespective of what
may come of the pending criminal
proceedings, the Mayor has been
shown by the records of the Industrial
Building and Loan Association to be
unfit to manage the business of the
municipality.
They assert that he was elected
under a misapprehension on the part
oil the voters as to his capabilities.
They point out that the city suffers
continuing and accommodating damage
by his brazen retention OF the office
and that, as he refuses to resign he
ought to be ousted.
All this may be true. But as long
ago as November %, 1922, when he
had just been defeated for Mayor the
Evening Record, reviewing stand
which he had taken during that cam
paign on an important matter, said
of Campbell:
Here 1t must be admitted is scarce
ly the material for a needed reformer,
When friends were concerned he
couldn't stiffen his backbone long
enough even to make campaign
speech against dishonest practice
which he admits had endured for
years.
HE would rather see his friends
handed this money than the taxpayers
save 1t. And the taxpayers seem to
have sensed his moral disabilities
when they marked their ballots"
This criticism was repeated during
the campaign of 1924, but Campbell
was then elected.
The Evening Record Corporation Is
a heavy taxpayer in Hackensack but
there are thousands of citizens who
have an equal interest in the city's
welfare.
One OF the rules of parliamentary
law provides that those who have
voted enormously must make the mo-
tion for reconsideration.
In the political situation which con-
fronts Hackensack such voters ought
anyhow to be given the first chance
to right themselves. Tnay have the
or.-Hackensack Record.

A HERO DOG

The other day when an epidemic OF
that dread children's disease, dypthe-
ria, got a foothold at Nome, Alaska,
the discovery was made that won
derful serum that Is known to medi-
cine as a cure and preventive for
dyptheria, was not obtainable, the
news was radioed to the outer world
from Nome, up in the depths of the
Arctic ocean, about the furthest north
of any American community. Imme-
diately effort was made to get the se-
rum into Nome by dog sled from the
nearest point, $50 miles away. Sep
palla, a famous trainer of dogs for
shedding in the Arctic regions, set
about the task Of driving his dogs over
the frozen north, with 100000 units
of serum. 1t was perilous undertak-
ing, but man and dogs were equal to
the effort, and away they went. There
was a highly dramatic moment en-
route where the dog team encountered
savage blizzard. But Seppalla,
blinded from the snow and fierce
winds, gave the lead-dog the reins and
left the matter of keeping the trail
to his sagacity. And the dog won,
one of the most sensational races
ever carried to successful conclu-
sion. There have been many tales Of
hero-dogs in fiction and history, but
BALTIC, the Esquemaux wonder that led
his team through that frightful bliz-
zard into Nome to stay the ad-
vance of that dread malady last
week will live as long as history.
BALTIC is real hero, for he knew only
duty in the urge he got to get to Nome
with his precious charge. Long may
he live. What sensation that dog
would make if brought to the States
and exhibited! President Coolidge
should take it upon himself to bring it
about

HUMANITYs WAvELENGTH

If you want to hear the concert at
Kansas City on your radio you have
to keep tuning in" until you get the
Kansas City wavelength.
Otherwise you may sit before your
loud speaker all night and be no near
er hearing the music than If you had
no radio.
The music comes with adjustment.
To some lives thelworld seems
continual maddening cacophonous
squawk of static. To others it is like
beautiful melodies of faraway music.
One has "tuned in to the right
wavelength; the other has not.
If you are judging life by its injus-
tices and hypocrisies, its sleek COM
placencies and soul nauseating insin-
cerities, you are hearing only the jar
ring and clashing of static.
Under it there sings the sweet low
music of the kindly human heart.
In human nature there is always
something noble and fine. In the end,
mankind always responds to the high,
the good. the noble and the pure.
Keep tuning in" until you find HUI
manity's wavelength. It's music is al
ways ION the air" If you are in tune.
Gou do not hear the music of HUI
manity by chance. The best sugges-
tion for finding its wavelength is the
Golden Rule. "Do unto others as you
would be done by" and you will find
the best in human nature.
Keep tuning in" adjusting your
self, making yourself more kindly,
sympathetic, human and understand
ing.
A smile, CHEEKY word kindly
act, an abiding faith in the undying
nobility of human nature, will help
you to find the wavelength which
brings Humanitys music to your ears

SAxOPHONE ENGLISH

Speaking before the New York Ro-
tary Club recently, Otto J. Van
Campne said: "Saxophone English is
playing havoc with the mother tongue.
When a person says, 'Whadja say?'
and 'Whatcha got?' it is time some
thing was done"
Merchants and bankers refuse to
accept mutilated coinage. 1t may have
intrinsic value, but it is below the
standard, and, therefore, will not pass
current in the ordinary business
transactions of life.
1t is a pity that the same rigid rule
cannot be applied to a deprecated
verbal coinage. The slovenly habit
of clipping off the final syllables and
running the words together is much
too common and degrades noble Ian
guage into an almost unintelligible
jargon.
The English language is rich
heritage to those who will take the
trouble to cultivate it; we admire a
speaker who is able to present his
thoughts in well chosen phrases clear
ly enunciated. A speaker who does
not do so may be listened to once,
but he will hardly manage to attract
his hearers to a second performance.
There are times when, with all the
knowledge of expression at our com
mand it is difficult to convey the
desired shade of meaning, but if our
=. a.. % !
lated and meager forms of speech,
the process becomes still more diff.
cult.
To be able to express oneself so as
to be readily understood is an accom-
plishment worthy of our persistent en-
deavors, and the first step toward
this end is the avoidance of hurried
contractions that fuse two or three
words into one grotesque abortion.

Hughes is entitled to make all the
fortune he wants out of his great abil-
tiles as an advocate, so where is the
cause for worry? Mr.. Coolidge seems
to be just as complacent and unruf-
fed as ever, though. it is an open Sc
cret that there are some people who
wish he were not quite so much so.
That he doesn't rear up on his hind
legs and tear his hair occasionally is
really somewhat of disappointment.
The world likes to see all sides of a
man, even a Presidents.
Mr.. Forbes has been convicted of
conspiracy in connection with his
handling of the funds Of the manned
soldiers of the world war, and, though
it would be in poor taste to glory over
his downfall, lot of people will re-
joice that justice did not founder.
These small ripples are the main
things that have recently happened,
and they are really not much. The
country can enjoy bit of placidity
every now and then and not make
fuss over It.

EATING MORE SWEETS

Men are eating more candy than
women, according to the leading diet
experts. The usual explanation is
that the sugar in candy is substi-
tute for e-prohibition alcohol. One
authority claims excess in candy is
as injurious to the digestive system
as over-indulgence in alcohol. Also
that the candy habit is as hard to
break as the liquor habit. Other ex-
perts disagree.
One advantage of having experts"
is that there is always one or more
who will back you, no matter what
you think
