THE PROSECUTORS CAR

At the meeting of the Board of
Freeholders this week the momentous
question is to be decided as to wheth-
er or not the wornout Cadillac, now
used by the Prosecutor of the Pleas
shall be traded in and that officer
given a new vehicle at cut-rate
price.
Singularly enough there have been
some heart-burnings over the issue
such as were not aroused when auto
mobiles were bought for other county
officers
Everybody else has been equipped
with fine, big vehicle, but then all
of the other officers are Republicans
and even Prosecutor Hart ought to
realize that Republican official, no
matter how humble, needs bigger
and newer car than Democrat.
Perhaps all of them could manage
to get around in Fords, but they have
not offered to do it. The public
would appreciate such abnegation,
but the public is inclined to laugh
when economy in this matter takes
the form of selecting the one promi
nent official of the other party and
making the vicarious example Of re-
trenchment.
If the Prosecutor were a Republi-
can they would probably fall over
themselves to buy him the finest
there is in the market. Such is
politics.-Hackensack Record.

PAlisADE AT TWENTY

The celebration of Palisades twen-
tieth birthday last week (April I'D at
the public school was an event to be
remembered. The village folk assem-
bled in goodly numbers and the
veriest good cheer prevailed. In fact,
good cheer was the dominant keynote,
and every expression of the gathering
rang true to the highest ideals. There
were a goodly number of the original
pioneers present, who looked back
with considerable surprise at the
changes that have taken place since
those earlier days that formed the
babyhood of Palisade. There were
many newcomers out, who got
glimpse of the sentiment. the temper
and the feeling that exist here, and
it Is certain that their experience in
seeing the old and the new Palisade
commingle In this very tender cele-
bration In SO amiable spirit was
gratifying. The scene from all ac-
counts was most commendable and
the feeling altogether delightful. There
were "Reminiscences tudl WCht boNh ~
the beginning-in 1905-and much in
terest centered about that modest be-
ginning of the model suburbs" his
tory. That there has been a genuine
awakening in the section is self evil
dent, and the central thought today
is to hold on to your property, for a
newer and better day is dawning-
indeed, its light has already broken
over the Palisades and Is illumining
these communities that have gone
along under the shadow of slow
growth. AS Paul T. Brady said in his
talEAat he celebration, when twen-
tyMve homes of substantial mold can
go up within year in sight OF my
house 1t is high time we realized our
opportunities" Mr.. Brady, of course,
only spoke what everybody can see,
and it took a redoubled interest when
the very hext day following his utter
ance ground was broken for twenty
five more houses in the same section.
And there is no doubt whatever but
that the expansion will enlarge upon
itself rapidly from now on.
Such celebrations as Palisades
twentieth birthday are worth while
and are to be cherished for the JOY
they bring and for the light they shed.

THE VANISHED DREAM OF
BORGLUM

The tumult and the shouting die,
and the Stone Mountain Memorial is
to be completed. Another sculptor
has been named, designs have been
approved, contracts signed. All that
is desirable. But at the moment the
figure which most engages sympathy
is not the new sculptor but the old,
Gutzon Borglum.
That the situation which developed
was partly of his own making seems
to be conceded by all. Nevertheless,
his dismissal takes on the dignity of
real tragedy. He did not realize, per-
haps, that the memorial was a CO.
operative enterprise, needing money
and the help of many persons to make
it successful; to him it wac an aes-
thetic enterprise exclusively, and, as
such. his own. He had put in many
years of his life conceiving it, de-

We Have Been Friends Together

We Have Been Friends Together
We have been friends together
In sunshine and in shade,
Since first beneath the chestnut tree,
In infancy we played.
But coldness dwells within thy heart
A cloud is on thy brow;
We have been friends together,
Shall light word part us now?
We have been gay together;
We have laughed at little jests,
For the fount of hope was gushing
Warm and joyous at our breasts.
But laughter now hath fed thy lip,
And sullen glooms thy brow;
We have been gay together,
Shall light word part us now?
We have been sad together;
We have wept with bitter tears
Ger the grass grown grave where
slumbered
The hopes of early years.
The voices which were silent then
Would bid thee clear thy brow;
We have been sad together,
Shall light word part us now?

WHERE 1T WORKS

The Palisadian is indebted to John
Hodgins for an interesting reflection
on the workings of Single Tax, as ap-
piled in Pittsburgh. The article fol-
lows:
From Land & Liberty, II Tothill
street, S. W., London, March, 1921,
page "A:
"In our January issue we comment
Nicholson's new book, "The Revival
of Marxism," in which he says that
Henry Georges theory was shattered
as soon as it was analyzed and strip
ped of it's rhetoric. This notice has
called forth reply from one of our
readers, Mr.. H. w. Noren of Pitts
burgh, Pa, U. S. A., who sends us
copy of his letter. 1t is as follows:
Professor Shield Nicholson,
Edinburgh University. Scotland.
Dear Sir-You are quoted as having
said in the Scotsman that Henry
Georges theory was shattered as
soon as it was analyzed and stripped
of it's rhetoric"
Would you please shatter it again
and show us how to do it?
We are vitally Interested, for here
in Pittsburgh the George men put one
over on us.
We suffer under what is known as
the graded tax law, and under this
law land values just simply refuse to
advance.
Due to this law the rate on land
values are increased 10 per cent every
third year. This law is playing havoc
with things as they used to be.
We have what is known as the
Schenley Estate, hundred years old.
This estate is all land. The tenants
own the buildings and pay the taxes.
1t is estimated that the Schenleys,
who live in London, draw in rents
from their Pittsburgh land about $3.-
900 a day. Yet the Schenleys have
started to sell their $4,000 day gold
mine. This law of ours is not only
making it unhealthy to hold vacant
land by the additional taxes, but it
brings the vacant land into competi-
tion with land already occupied. If
this confounded thing is not "shat-
tered" we can see the day approach
ing when none of this money will go
to London.
And the worst is yet to come. Note
by the enclosed circular that the AL
lied Boards of Trade propose to take
all the taxes off building values and
put them all on land values. These
are the tradesmen and lower classes,
and the very men who put it over on
us before. These people figure that by
thus shifting the tax burden there will
be $25,000,000 annually for the lower
classes to spend, and the tradesmen
will do holiday business the year
around-the greedy fellows.
| So, for heavens sake, show us how
to shatter the Henry George theory.
The damned thing works here.
Yours very truly,
H. w. NOREN.

signing it, planning it. 1t must have
become, very largely, his life. Men
cannot give birth to such colossal
projects just simply as SO much days
work; they take possession of the
soul, dwarf other interests, become
consuming passion. Nobody has
ever alleged that SO far as his creative
capacity was concerned Borglum did
not give Stone Mountain everything
that was in him. Now he must sit
and watch another complete his work.
In the nature of things, he will never
have another commission so stupen-
dous.-New York World.

AMERICAN LEGION ORPHANS

The julius Zannette Post of Pali-
sade, American Legion, is making "a
drive in connection with the national
posts everywhere to raise funds for
the 100000 Legion orphans scattered
throughout the country. The cause
is entirely worthy, and Palisade is
urgently asked to cooperate by as
liberal offerings as possible. A little
from everyone would make fine to-
tai. Already a number have given
sums from 81 to $25, Captain Samuel
e. Darby generously sending in the
latter sum to Captain Harry Elkan,
Palisade.

is 1T TRUE?

1t has come to the attention of The
Palisadian that the kind of politics
that is feared the most has obtained
hold on the school situation. 1t is
not politics of the ordinary kind, but
the opposite-the extraordinary kind.
It is not politics of the weekday va
riety, but the sort that is practised
another day of the week. If this is
true it is not unusual, but it is at the
same time to be deeply regretted, be-
cause politics of this kind has no
business in temporal affairs. The
gripping thought behind this touch of
local politics is, CAN 1T BE TRUE?
