ORGANIZED AGAINST WAR
Certain organizations in this coun
try are advocating, among other
things, organization against war. Its
leaders, if there really are any, might
ask themselves if there ever lived any
people who believed in war. There has
never been a time in the world’s his
tory when the masses believed in
war. What, then, makes nations go
to war? The exact’same reason that
actuates Individuals, communities or
churches—differences of opinion. A
man need not believe in war, yet he
will, for patriotism, enter one without
the slightest trouble. Duty, based on
patriotism, is the prime cause of every
man’s entering war at call of country.
Many a man looked upon as a physi
cal or moral coward will enlist in the
ranks for sake of country. War is an
incredible thing—a feeling that trans
cends anything known in the power
with which it grips many gentle,
timid hearts. Of itself war is repul;
sive. The individual may be cold to
the fighting instinctj yet intrusion
upon his personal rights finds him
ready to defend his own. All true
patriot*! feel the individual way about
war and fighting. They are against
both in principle, but they wear the
invisible chip on their shoulder when,
the call to duty comes. There are
few, if any, exceptions to this rule.
What, then, is the meaning of these
discrediting movements? They are
- based; on the immoral, the communis
tic, the Socialistic, the devilish. Hired
ministers of the gospel stand for and
, prate about their useful, high-minded
purposes, and go into prating sermons
abotit "How Jesus would approve.”
i jt is this cloaking of these move
ment behind religion and the church
that makes the whole thing so dis
tasteful, so abominable.
DR. BUTLER'S WISDOM
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi
dent of Columbia University, in his
annual New Year address to the stu
dents, denounced “sensational trashy
periodical literature.” He addressed
the students in the McMillln Aca
demic Theatre.
“I know very well how much super
ficiality there is all about us,” he said,
"and how those concerned with the
petty changes in life are without any
conception of its true values. So far
from being cultivated are they that
they do not even touch the hem of the
garment of education. Their existence
‘ is an animal existence. It may be a
! somewhat superior type of animal, but
animal it is certainly, and human not
% at all.”
Dr. Butler told the students of the
mountainous piles of weekly publica
tions on some news stands, which
1; were the regular reading not only of
'll the young but of nearly every one. He
said cultivated men or women felt an
i intense attraction for the first rate
j and were repelled by lesser matter,
f "Illiteracy id a positive personal pro
v' tection in view of the type of popular
^ literature in circulation," he said. “We
j live Surrounded by magnificent monu
! ments of achievement, a heritage of
1 historical happenings, all of which in
• fluence our daily lives.
J “Life at the longest is all too short
' to come into contact with them, to get
any knowledge of them. Yet they are
the human achievements that make
life worth living. It is an interesting
law of life that if human achievement
lives long it can be proved that it was
first rate.
“If I were to name the chief makers
of modern thought I should name only
those dead for some time. We live to
day under the domination of men such
.as Luther, Desartes and Housseau.”
THE FRIENDLY ART
'Letter writing is the friendly art.
Despite the bulk of the United States
mail the fact is that most of us write
too few letters. W’e do not write too
few of the sort that begin, “Yours of
the 18th inst. received and contents
noted.” There is nothing either friend- j
ly or artistic about letters of that kind.
But we overlook far too many op
portunities to be kind and considerate,
gentle and courteous by writing let
U’S.
The most charming men in history
! been letter writers. Robert E.
Lee, a fine and noble gentleman,
whose memory is revered now in the
l ivh as well as in the south, discloses
r ••'■h of the charm and gentleness of
his manner in letters.
Walter H. Page, late ambassador to
England, proved to the world in his
letters that he was a statesman of
foresight and power and a man of
literary distinction.
Not many of us will ever write let
ters which an eager posterity will
gather up, publish and read. But many
might release hidden resources of per
sonality and charm by means of let
ters to our friends.
What could better reveal the true
greatness of Roosevelt, his homely
qualities of manhood and citizenship,
than his letters to his family?
All of us take too many of life’s
gifts for granted. We do not take the
time to appreciate. Failing in this,
we withhold happiness from others
who ar^ really dear to us but who are
neglected because of their very famil
iarity.
How recently have you who are
away from home written to your wife
or mother or son or daughter and ex
pressed in some simple fashion the
love and affection in which you hold
them?
Have you who received some mark
of kindly favor from a friend written
a letter expressing your gratitude?
The sin of ingratitude is one of the
deadliest of sins. The withholding of
appreciation and courteous response
is unforgivable.
The thoughtful letter writer is de
voted to the friendly art.: And he is,
in his way, a great artist.
A NEUTRAL VIEW ON BUSSES
As a commuter goes to work via the
new Coytesville-Edgewater bus line he
is treated to an eloquent commentary
on how petty politics when coupled
with big business can work against
economic law. The Fort Lee Trans
portation Company runs its busses
through Edgewater for a mile or so
and is not permitted to pick up pas
sfengers, while at the same time Pub
lic Service busses duplicate this serv
ice and are not allowed to enter the
borough of Fort Lee.
It is clear to all that better service
for both Edgewater and Fort Lee
would be afforded if the entire job
were in the hands of one or the other
agency. We like to think of how easy
it would be for the two borough gov
ernments and the two transportation
companies to gel together on the mat
ter and co-ordinate the service of trol
leys and busses. After all, it doesn’t
matter a whole lot to the commuter
on whose bus or trolley he rides. The
main idea is to get there.
“Funding an obligation’’ sounds
I wonderfully impressive, ,but it just
I means paying up. /
The reason why the Scotch have a
sense of humor is because it’s a gift.
i Bust of Lincoln to
Be Presented to H. S.
Next Wednesday Eve.
An event to be remembered in Cliff
side Park is the presentation of the
bust of Lincoln to the Cliffside Park
High School, which takes place on
next \Vednesday evening, March 21,
promptly at half past 8 o’clock.
Although Mr. Charles Niehaus, the
sculptor, has been a resident for many
years in Grantwood and is nationally
known as one of the greatest sculptors
of the day, his works adorn the Metro
politan Museum of Art in N'ew York,
the Capitol at Washington, D. C., and
many cities of America, including
some of the neighboring towns, to
date not one of his art works is owned
by his home town, and it is with pride
that the residents especially interest
ed in the best art feel that now they
shall have at least one piece of his
work, something which will be of in
creasing value in the years to come.
Miss Marie Niehaus, the sculptor’s
daughter, is making this splendid gift
to the school, and the order of exer
cises on this important occasion, to
which every one in the town is cor
dially invited, is as follows:
Military march. High School Orches

For Your Amusement
More About “Big” Jim Redmond
By PERRY CHARLES
If you haven't
heard of Jim Red
mond, “Big" Jim
Redmond, you
haven’t been read
ing the Metropoli
tan dailies for at
least the past year.
Today they are
calling him “the
Ziegfeld of the
Cabarets.” Yester
day he was just a
character along
Broadway, a suc
cessful character;
but one that did not
call for any public
acclaim or plaudits,!
as the name now
applies. Today he
is a national char
acter.
IBMtMHMMHH He is tne owner
of the Parody Club,
Forty-eighth street
at Broadway, the gayest and brightest
of Broadway's night clubs, the rendez
vous o£ the stars of the stage and
screen.
And the success of this club, just
as the success of any club he might
take a fancy to, is assured because of
his ability to manage, his ability to
make friends, steadfast ones, and his
ability to pick talent who appeal to
the fastidious fancy of the public.
It was he who made Ted Lewis
popular and it is he who today offers
his clients “The Pennant Winning
Battery of Songland,” Van and
Schenck, the greatest exponents of
high calibre harmony ever created.
Two boys who a brief few years ago
were motorman and conductor re
spectively of a Brooklyn Trolley car
and who, today, are making $7,500 a
week between them.
It’s “Jimmy” Redmond who is mak
ing things hum around the busiest
corner of Bioadway and to extol his
merits is to tell merely the truth of
his accomplishments. A big husk of a
chap, standing over six feet and well
proportioned to the extent of 200

Hartman Home Looted
By Robbers, Second
Time Within Year
For the second time within a year
the residence of Nathan B. Hartman,
on the edge of the Palisades on
Lafayette avenue, Grantwood, has
been entered by thieves, who were
less fortunate, however, than their
predecessors, the amount of loot be
ing small. So far as is ascertained
all that was taken was a watch and
about $8 in cash from a small bank.
The robbery occurred between 4
and 5 o’clock Saturday afternoon,
during the temporary absence of Mr.
Hartman and Mrs. Sarah Boyer,
mother of Mrs. Hartman. Entrance
was made by breaking the lock on
the kitchen door, and the job is be
lieved by the Cliffside Park police to
have been the work of boys. ,
The rooms upstairs were ransacked,
bureau drawers and their contents
strewn on the floor, while the silver
ware in the dining room was un
touched, money and jewelry presum
ably being the object of loot.
On her return from an errand in
the village Mrs. Boyer found the
house In disorder, and notified neigh
bors, who called the police. Mr. Hart
man arrived home soon after the
police reached the house. While the
robbery was going on a German
police dog, which had been shut up
in the cellar when the family went
out, proved an inefficacious guardian
of the premises.
Englewood Cliffs Takes
Up High Ferry Rates With
Board of Freeholders
Only routine matters were dealt
with at the meeting of the Bergen
County Board of Freeholders held
Wednesday afternoon at' the court
house In Hackensack, there being nei
ther debate nor discussion on any of
the matters presented.
A complaint from the borough of
Englewood Cliffs as to the rates
charged for the’ transportation of au
tomobiles on the Dyckman street fer
ry was referred to the County Coun
sel for report. Their letter claimed
that the rates were higher than those
obtaining last year and that no sched
ules as to the same had been posted.
A request from Sheriff George P.
Nimmo that the Board purchase him
a Cadillac car fell upon deaf ears,
and after an unusually long wait for
some one to make a motion on the
subject the communication was or
dered filed.
Petition Against Sibley
Appointment in Ft. Lee

appointment front every angle was
altogether desirable.
Mrs. C. B. Levy of Palisade arose
and made it plain that she had signed
the petition on the principle involved
and that it was not a petition indicat
ing a fend between Mr. Sibley and
Mr. Hacker.
At the conclusion of the meeting
Mr. Elkan asked if a contract was to

Are you paying for a Packard
X
—without owning one?
Very likely you arc paying the Packard price for
motor car transportation while believing you cannot
afford a Packard. Thousands do.
Yet while they long for Packard Six comfort, beauty
and distinction others own and drive these fine cars
at an actual saving in money over the cost of
compromise transportation.
You too can own a Packard Six. Before
you buy your next motor car, use a
pencil and a scratch pad before you use
a pen and a check book.
Most of the items of cost in owning a
car are the same as between a Packard
Six and any car at even half its price.
It costs little more to insure the Packard
than the half-price car. No more to
garage it—no more to license it—no
more for a wash and polish! Interest
on your Packard investment will be a
few cents a day higher—but less fre
quent and lower repair charges under
Packard's flat rate service plan far offset
that item.
Packard Six owners report 14 to 16
miles to a gallon of gasoline, 1,000 miles
or more to a gallon of motor oil, 15,000
to 20,000 miles per set of tires. What
half-price car does better?
But those items, so strongly stressed by
most manufacturers, are relatively un
important. Depreciation is the really
important charge. Depreciation costs
many motorists 2 or 3 times as much
per mile as they pay for gas, oil and
rubber together.
The used car most often turned in
last year by Packard Six buyers had
been driven an average of only 15,087
miles!
Depreciation cost every one of those
owners eight cents a mile! They, none
of them, spent a total of over three
cents a mile for gasoline, oil and tires.
If you are one of the thousands who
buy a half-price car every year or two—
every 15,000 to 20,000 miles—you can
own and drive a Packard Six for less
money.
More than twice as many Packard Six
cars were sold last year as in 1924. And
70% of all these sales were made to those
who had been buying lower-priced cars
frequently.
These Packard Six owners know they
can keep their new cars two or three
times as long as the cars they turned in
—and they intend to do it. On such a
basis they drive the car they have always
wanted at a lower-per-mile cost than
they have ever paid.
It_is a fact that 98% of those who have
bought Packard Six cars during the past
five years are still Packard owners. They
are not paying a heavy depreciation toll
every year. You need not do so either.
The Packard Six five-passenger sedan with all necessary accessories including spare tire
and with freight and tax paid, is delivered at your door for $_Thousands have
bought Packard Six cars without ever paying out more than $200 in cash at any
one time, used car allowance considered; the payments seldom exceeding $150 a month.
Packard cars are now being sold
on the basis of the new tax rate
