GIVE BERGEN A GOVERNOR

Bergen county is a strong arm of
the Republican party in giving large
majorities, but receives little encour-
agement for continuing the service.
Those who recall the candidacy of
William B.. Mackay for governor will
understand the meaning of this more
particularly. The senator was led to
believe that he was favored of the
gods. uIltiI one day at luncheon in
the Stacy-Trent that master mind of
Edward Casper Stokes, with elegance
and grace announced that the Bergen
Senator was an altruist and would
not stand in the way of anything that
might have the semblance of threat
ening harmony in the party. This
meant that Senator Mackay would
steer his candidacy into quiet eddies
where it would rest peacefully. And
it rested

is put forth by the Republican lead
ers. 1t is unquestionable that the
former encouragement would make
the most brilliant campaign of any
man named and yet there is pro-
nounced opposition to him. Other
names are listed, but none is
given credit for possessing especial
strength. 1t is evident that the lead
ers see in Judge Doremus a man of
force and character, but they look
upon him with the eye of doubt as
indicated by reference to the Bergen
man as "a two-spot candidate" Judge
Doremus may lack force as political
campaigner, but he possesses the
qualities of intelligence, honor and
answering honesty so necessary in
one who should be entrusted with the
peoples st.-Hackensack Re-

MRS. vIcKERs ON MRS. FEIcKERT

Mrs. George T. Vickers of Jersey
City, one of the real brainy women of
the Republican party in this State,
has written highly seasoned letter
to Mrs. Lillian E. Feickert, who, while
president of the New Jersey Woman's s
Republican Club, can scarcely be
classed as a loyal worker for the
party; she has, rather, become a free
lance for the Feickert interests Mrs.
Vickers charges Mrs. Feickert with
Misrepresentation to members of the
Assembly, which deception, concern
ing signers to petition, was exposed.
Perhaps legislators resent being
slurred by you with insinuations and.
frequently, open accusations of evil
and sinister motives" Mrs. Vickers
says. Even If they do not publicly
resent your accusations, at least, l, as
Republican, object to our party rep
resentatives being reviled and decried
from end to end of the State, just be-
cause you do not have your way"
Mrs. Vickers directs attention to vari-
Gus misleading actions, and on the
whole treats Mrs. Feickert somewhat
as she Observation-Disclosures Repub-

THE TENDER SUBJECT LEGS

Bob Ryder of the Ohio State Jour
nal says seeing is believing and it is
hard for a man whose memory goes
back thirty or forty years to realize
that there were just as many legs per
capita in this. free country then as
there are now, though doubtless it is
an incontrovertible fact. Quite true,
Bob, but you didn't pause to reflect
that forty or fifty years ago legs
were not put on exhibition as freely
as they are now, and if man desired
to revel in their beauty he had to go
to a burlesque show.-New Orleans
State.
Yes, and time was when legs were
appreciated. The sight of a shapely
ankle excited the most intense adj
miration. And as for a glimpse of a
calf-oh, well, that was something to
be remembered But nowadays we
have the complete exemplification of
an old saying that too much familiar
ity breeds contempt" In reality to-
day as legs are just nothing at all,
they are SO commonplace. Alas!
style is often an enemy of charm.
But then whose business is it, anyhow,
to discuss so tender a subject as legs?

Hn n IS IS IS y
JOHN NELSON

The death last week of John Nelson,
the founder of the Christian Orphan
Home, Fort Lee, was sad blow to
one of the most beneficent enterprises
ever put into action in New Jersey.
If ever there was an exemplification of
the unselfish spirit in man, certainly
the works of John Nelson entitled him
to high rank among men who have
spent their lives IN an endeavor to
benefit the unfortunate. He did really
an outstanding work in developing his
ideals through the Christian Orphan
Home, the honors he won being all
the more remarkable when it Is con-
success entirely unaided. That is, his
was the guiding hand that led him
along a difficult road, though his wife's
part in his success must be duly cred
tied. But John Nelson's spirit, his
leadership (his faith in God, who
inspired his aim, were the virtues
which led him on to the building OF
not help themselves.
1t must have required ability and
courage of an extraordinary degree for
John Nelson to conduct his Christian
Orphan Home in the circumstances
with which he was surrounded. There
was no endowment fund at any time;
there was no surplus money to pay
bills from month to month; yet this
man, single-handed and alone, gath
cred from every available source each
month the sum of $4,000, the amount
necessary to take care of and feed al
most one hundred when he died, Sc
Of tbcm children. This is $4,000
year gathered in by this patient, loyal
worker. There were, 1t is true, per-
centage of his charges who were
helped to an extent by relatives at
home, but the great bulk OF the
expenses were raised by John Nelson.
He combined to an unusual degree the
qualities of Christian worker and a
business man, for no mere enthusiast
in cause could have done what he
did without both fervor and talent.
His purpose was to give those who
were deprived of the happiness OF
parents and fireside comforts what an
unhappy destiny had taken away. And
how we'll he succeeded is attested In
the records He raised and nurtured
900 boys and girls from young child
hood to mature youth, taking them In
their earlier years, giving each COM
mon school education, teaching all to
lead exemplary lives and above all to
know and understand the Christian
religion and love God. If he has left
his impression upon nearly a thousand
young souls, what greater honor could
come to any man? His example alone
is noble tribute to humanity's cause,
and God bless his memory! 1t de-
serves monument in bronze aside
from the one he has left to perpetuate
his name in the Christian Orphan
Home.

Cortlandt Donaldson sang two So
los, accompanied by Eleanor Pennell
at the piano, this number taking the
place of the expected talk by Darby
Holmes, who was unavoidably de-
tanned.
1.-The Threshold" by Clarice Nc
Carthy, was the special feature of the
evening and was enjoyed equally by
those who saw it for the first time
and by those who had seen it at its
presentation of several years ago in
the Grantwood Comedy Club. .
Miss Marjorie Sammis as Granny
and the "girl she might have been"
was, as before, delightful in both i'm
presentations. Miss Florence FRANKIE
was the real personifcation of the
loving, anxious granddaughter as
when several years ago in that role
she came out as real surprise in her
first public appearance in drama.
Mr.. John Birchard, although sus-
tanning the difficult part of a. young
man cast as the old doctor, admirably
filled the part in every way, surpris-
ing in view of the brief rehearsa1s he,
the new member of the cast, had, as
did also the other new member, Ed
win LeCato, Jr., who made very
realistic old family darkey servant.
The delightful program closed with
two very graceful solo dances by Mrs.
Leroy Butolph, the colored spotlights
adding to the artistic effect.
Sociability and appreciation kept
the audience for some time after the
performance.

AN EDITOR PEEvED

A neighbor, the Ridgefield Park Bull
letin, recently published some rather
caustic criticism about the Cathe-
dral of st. John the Divine, which the
Palisadian thought was rather illiteral,
and said so in a pleasant way. Evi-
IDENTIFY others resented the amiable
editors attitude and rather got under
his skin, if one may judge by the
following in the Bulletin of last week:
"Rockefeller's Cathedral Pro-
possal," Bulletin editorial, has
caused considerable comment, and
won a generous amount of unex-
pected praise. 1t has also brought
some foul criticism from thirty
cent preacher, who for some mys-
terious reason is paid to display
his ignorance in ten thousand
dollar church building. 1t would
be interesting to learn the reason
for building a costly church for
five and ten cent preacher.
We invite criticism, favorable
and adverse comments are well
come, but we draw the line at
sewer tactics. The slime of vi
tuperation in lieu of arguments
is just as Objectionable today from
a pin-headed minister as it would
be from any other professional
mental scavenger.
We would much rather recline
on the side of hill with tree
for support listening to logical
preacher than to repose in Sec
tartan cathedral, compelled to
hear the rawlings OF bigoted and
ancient fanatic, who should have
died in the fourteenth century. -
This sublime gem from Byron's
brilliant mind deserves contem-
plation occasionally, if not often
er: "He who will not reason is
bigot; he who dares not is
slave; he who can not is a fool"
Brother Enders is sentimentalist
of approved type, but he is also ten
der in his feelings, and can be Just

Community Players
Present Fine Program

Tuesday evening was Subscribers
Evening" in the local Community
Players organization, and both sub
scribing members and active men,
bers were out in numbers which only
public building could have accom-
modated and for which the clubs new
headquarters, Carney Hall, was we'll
adapted.
A few specially invited guests were
also present, selected from those who
have shown their interest, but who
have not as yet become members, as
was explained by the clubs president,
Mrs. j. H. Koch, in her little address
of welcome for this the first subscrlb-
ers' evening to be held in the hall.
Miss Marjorie Sammis followed her
with a little talk on "The Little II =
atre," calling attention to the respect
in which the Little Theatre is held by
notable business organizations.
The Community Players ranking
among the Little Theatre movements
was, as she demonstrated, not as a
little theatre, but really large one,
accommodating 250 people.
She suggested that this local club
should take it's place among the city
ones by voting for the plays its mem
bers have liked best this season and
voting as to their casts, ETC., making
possible suggestions.
Mrs. Heaton, who had charge of the
program, started lively discussion
of plays seen this season, asking for
those best liked, also for those best
for boy of fourteen and for a girl OF
sixteen, etc.

NEW JERSEYS zoNING DILEMMA

A vexing legal problem in New Jer-
sey is the construction of zoning
system that the courts of the state
will recognize as valid. Restrictions
set up by communities under state au-
thority have been practically nullified
by judicial decisions. But Governor
Silzer, still undiscouraged, in a spe-
cial message to the Legislature rec
ommends amendment of the state
constitution explicitly to permit
proper zoning and the enactment of
a statute meanwhile to meet if pos
sible, the objections of the courts to
previous zoning measures.
In the Nutley case, on the ground
that the prohibition violated both the
Federal and the state guaranty of pri-
vate property rights, the trial court
set aside an ordinance that would
have kept store out of a residential
district On appeal the Court of Err.
rors and Appeals did not find that "a
consideration of fundamental princi-
pies" was required, but upheld the
Supreme Court decision. The store,
it held, under the statute covering
zoning, could not be barred unless it
were a menace to the health or safe
ty or general welfare of the people
of Nutley, and it was none of these.
Subsequent cases have been decid-
ed upon this latter ground. On the
general welfare" principle, as the
judges interpret it, restricted districts
can be and are invaded by apartment
houses, stores, garages, etc, in spite
of prohiibtive zoning ordinances. The
New Jersey towns have by no means
abandoned zoning regulations or at
tempts to enforce them. They have
their way, however, only if the in
truder submits; if he is persistent
enough to go to law they lose.
The suburban towns in New Jersey.
as in New York, are bent on safe
guarding their attractions as places
of residence. In fair sense it is
Tor the general welfare" of a COM
munity that it be permitted to estab-
lish and maintain strictly residential
sections. 1t will be a detriment to
the suburban development of New
Jersey if no person can buy house
in a neighborhood allotted to private
dwellings in assurance that the char
acter of the neighborhood will be pre-
served. The sooner a constitutional
amendment terminates the hair-split-
ting objections of the New Jersey
courts the better-New York Trib-
une.

MORE QUAcKERY

If it is not one sort of quack, it is
another.
The quack doctors being mostly sup
pressed or side-tracked, we now have
the quack psychologists. Fortunately,
the mind is tougher than the body.
How is one to tell them apart
Easily enough.
If it is worth the money" it is
quack. If it is useless" it is real.
The quack offers to sell you, for
money, shortcut to raising your
wages or to making other people do
what you wish, for your advantage.
The real psychologist offers you, for
hard work, the chance to learn more
about the general operations of the
human mind.
The one appeals to the zeal to
know; the other to the greed to get.
Real psychology, after you know it,
is as useful as history, astronomy,
mathematics, or any other impersonal
enlargement of the mental outlook.
Quack Psychology pretends to help
you personally, to get something for
yourself, now. The better the selling
points," the worse the article.

DIAGNOSING CRIME

The warden of Sing Sing gives ten
reasons why men commit crime.
Judges, psychologists, sociologists add
few score more.
The most interesting thing about
their list is the one thing they all leave
out. For that is the only thing our
ancestors would have put in.
Not one of these lists contains the
word wicked" or any of its synonyms.
For thousand ages it has been
supposed that sinful character was the
cause of evil deeds.
The modernists do not even mention
it. Not that they deny it. They mere
ly do not know what it means.
If there is difference between
good and bad" these words do not
express it, and they do not use them.
What appeared to our predecessors
a simple fact, they analyze into a
neXus of causes and effects.
1t is a sophisticated age, in which
even sin has to go under the micro
crope, to see what dissociated virtues
it is made of.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE

The Inauguration of Calvin Cool
idge as President of the United
States on his own hook took place
this week Wednesday amid the plau-
dts of the nation. The most partisan
critics must accord Mr. Coolidge a
proud position before the American
people. He has upset many traditions
since he took the reins from the
Harding administration and from
present indications is liable to upset
many more. He is cool, level-headed,
hard thinking, smooth working, and
an all round efficient President. And
then he does his own thinking. That is
fall from his shoulders like water
from ducks bfria- If he knows any
thing he wants to talk about he
minces no words. And if any Presit-
den ever said what he wanted to and
said it straight, Mr.. Coolidge can
match him in directness. There has
been a form of romance in the career
of Calvin Coolidge that is humanity in
teresting and every bit captivating.
His beautiful humility is not to be
wondered at when one considers his
unpretentious origin. His case proves
the true meaning of democracy. 1t is
intimately clear that the American
people think whole lot of Calvin
Coolidge, albeit he hasn't whaled his
recalcitrant Congress into shape The
chances favor his calling their hand
before long. The surest way would
be to defer the incoming Congress till
it is due to make it's spiel next Decem-
ber. Anyhow all congratulations to
President Coolidge.

a bit bitter His position on the ca
thedral and Bishop Manning, however
is entirely at variance with what any
liberal minded editor should feel.
The third paragraph quoted above is
quite beyond the issue, which is that
Bishop Manning is trying to construct
an Episcopal cathedral to which all
classes will be welcomed. Besides,
was there ever a cathedral that was
not sectarian? What other kind do
they have? There are a lot of things
one may not believe in, but we need
not rave because of it. Give every
