• ' OUR NEW HOME
-j'hf. Palisadian is pleased to an
nounce that this issue is printed in
its new home in Cliffsidc Park. With
' an entirely new equipment, new Du
plex press printing from a continuous
j1;* roll of paper the same as the Metro
*'■ politan papers, the press work will
;oon be up to the same high standards
that have prevailed for several years
>, past from its New York printers. In
■ fact, the hope is. that it will be even
" better. Further announcements will
Ji be made in an early issue about the
new organization and what it pro
poses.
FORT LEE’S ALL-BOROUGH
r JULY FOURTH
The July 4 Sesqui-Centennial cele
bration to be held by the Borough of
11 Fort Lee promises to be one of the
most elaborate and successful among
the many to be held in Bergen Coun
" ty. The council this week did a mag
nanimous thing in voting $1,000. for
the celebration which will do away
t.i" with the hard labor involved in mak
rv ing a house to house canvass for
i funds. This sum will cover all the
expense, including a fine band, fire
‘ works and incidentals.
u The Committee has already pre
pared a fine program in tentative
''t form at present, and which will be
U finally elaborated into a plan that will
make every citizen proud to call old
1 Fort Lee home.
The best of feeling prevails over the
i*.; event, and everybody is urged to help
'j'l it along by talking it up so that a
turn-out will be had that will be an
honor to the borough and make all
' • hearts glad and happy.
The full announcement will be made
in another week or so. The program
. will be appropriate and timely, the
:>r seating of the great mass-meeting ex
ercises in Monument Square with
music and enthusiasm being beautiful
-1 und in keeping with the spirit of the
day.
LOVE OR PITY?
There was a time when much encr
’*'gy wns wasted on such discussions as
liow many angels could sit on a pin
!•*. point, or whether they left foot-prints.
Nowadays one may argue what is
faith and hope and charity, and
whether love is stranger than hate.
>■■■., The little story of a woman in Kan
sas City may help here.
!•:»» She and her brother quarreled about
• ' mohey. She believed he had deliber
ately taken her heritage, leaving her
to poverty. Probably he had.
lie lived in nis comfort in a small
town in the west. She lived in her
bareness. Hut each year on the an
niversary of the quarrel she had
printed in big type in the local paper:
>. ■ “The mills of the Gods grind slowly
but they grind exceedingly small.’’
The story got around to people
who knew what it meant. They smiled
at the brother in his comfort. Yeai
after year it continued and a sistci
and a brother hated and did not
speak.
Then indeed had the Gods ground
•'•■‘Exceedingly Small.” The brothei
crashed upon the rocks. There \va:
'financial failure. Disgrace and shame
Prison bars.
Hut in his hour of need he had ;
sister by his side. The hatred o:
years had been washed away by the
freshet of pity and reborn love.
Or does it mean something not quit*
so much to the glory of humans':
. Does it mean that love can live whei
....the object of love is worse off thar
we are, but cannot manifest itself
when we are worse off than the one
we once loved?
Who can answer?
The man who marries for money
usually earns it.
"OVERALL” EDUCATION.
Arkansas has introduced “Overall
Democracy’’.' At least it is making
an experiment along that line and the
results will be watched with interest
in other states. Commonwealth Col
lege at, Mena, Ark., requires both stu
dents and teachers to wear overalls
and work side by side four hours each
day for their room and board. Money
won’t pay for room and board at Com
monwalth College.. Every teacher and
student earns them by ploughing the
college farm, building dormitories or
preparing meals and washing dishes.
It is not an uncommon sight to see
a student showing a teacher how to
pick cotton, stretch a fence or wait
on tables. ,
Of course this order is reserved
when they get in class-rooms. Not
only are the students able to support
themselves, but it is expected that they
will produce enough argricultural and
manufactured products to make the
College itself self-supporting. Organi
zed athletics do not exist. The dining
hall where the Saturday evening
dance is held and the old swimming
hole in a nearby mountain stream arc
social centers. The teachers and stu
dents alike live close to nature. The
college is a part of the Workers’ Ed
ucational Movement to bring educa
tion within the reach of those who
must work while they learn. It will
be interesting to note later on the pro
gress of its graduates, as compared
with those of other colleges, in the
serious business of making a living.
DISSENSION FROM OPINION
The recent conclaves of several of
the leading church denominations have
developed the fact that there is a
heaping lot of discussion still exist*
ing in their membership. The Method
ists, Baptists and Presbyterians have
all had heated discussions in then
connections over the Bible and its in
terpretation. From the published
statements of these debates it would
appear that each of the church de
nominations named has decided to
forego any actual split over the issue
fundamentalism and modernism. They
simply let the matter drop because
the leaders foresaw that the division
of belief about the Bible is liable to
do more harm than good for the gen -
eral cause of religion. The idea of
allowing people to believe what they
like is a great one, so far as churches
and the Bible arc concerned, so long
as it does not undermine the real
meaning of religion itself. Primarily
religion is intended to make men load
better, more moral lives. If there
is lack of unity there- is, *of course,
dimension, and this cannot be condu
cive' to highe#-' tnoral attitude. After
all, the clean life in thought and
action is the best - evidence of the
better man. And the action of these
church denominations in wishing to
put a stop to discussion on just what
the Bible may or may not mean is
the middle road which leads to stop
ping religious disturbance. The man
who will not compromise for the sake
of good morals and peace isn’t much
of a man. If truth were really in
volved in these differences of opinion
it wouldn’t be so disrupting. But
truth is not involved, for nobody really
knows anything about what the Bible
really means on the points about
which Scholarship is divided. Physi
cal Science may be and is an actuali
ty. Moral Science is a matter of
opinion, especially as realated to the
Bible. That great historical book has
remained long enough in the heart of
the moved to continue as its greatest
treasure without dissension being the
cause of undermining its cardinal
principles and its unassailable virtues.
How much better men and women are
modernists in faith than fundamenta
lists in faith? Does what one may
honestly believe lead into the pearly
gates through any saner, wiser road
way than what some one else may
believe that is different?
IN MEMORY OF WILSON
A commendable piece of work has
been undertaken by Mrs. C. McAlister
Kreuttner, of the New York Public
Library, in an effort to collect worthy
poems concerning the last world-war
president, Woodrow Wilson. These un
to include at least fifty poets of Am
erica who wrote verse in appreciation
of the great statesman as a national
and international leader. Most of
he poems this lady hopes to assemble
were written about the time of his
leath or soon after. This contribu
tion to literature should be of unusual
Interest. The addition to the audiolo
gies of the age— an age in the world's
history unparalleled in vital interest
':o all governments, and particularly
o our own— would be a most valu
ible one. Essentially, even in a way
ncidentally, the gathering of these
ixpressions is a tribute to one to
vhom tribute too high and fine would
oe difficult to pay. It will be of
nterest to know that Mrs. Kreuttner
vho has undertaken this labor of love
s a native of Savannah, Ga., a city
issociatcd in intimate and sacred re
ationships of Woodrow Wilson. It is
o be hoped, and expected, in fact,
hat one of thAhighcst tributes in
/erse to Wilson™-as by our Bergen
County patriot, Charles O’Connor
Henncssy entitled ‘The Fallen Leader.’

Off the Beaten Path
With R. Jules DuPon

Question and Answer
Dear Sir:
. and what has happened
to Off The Reaten Path? . I used to
enjoy reading it.
A GRANTWOOD READER
Had not the above been incorp
orated in a recent letter to the editor
I might still be enjoying a mental
vacation from column conducting, the
silliest and most boresomc of all news
paper jobs. I only resume to prove
to my contemporary P. E. PUL that
I am more considerate of the reader’s
wishes than he or she, whichever the

Watch For Snares
It ain't the trees that block the trail,
It ain't the ash or pine;
For, if you fall, or if you fail,
It wan sonic pesk;/ vine
That tripped non up, and three yon

That caught you unawares;
The biy things yon cum walk around—
But watch the way for snares.

The “Primary” Reason
Primary elections are designed
principally to allow the “regulars” to
settle caucus arguments at the
public’s expense. What the humble
district G. O. P. or Democratic leader
dare not say to the “boss” he can say
with a check mark on Primary Day
with the “boss” in the tantalizing pos
ition of not knowing just what he did
do.
Primaries serve to show the general
public’s indifference to politics. Few
people “dabble” in politics, they either
are deeply interested or not at 'all.
Nothing is a better proof of this than
the Primaries when even autos and
persuasive workers can not coax more
than a handful to the polls. This be
ing the case, candidates are selected
by a partisan minority of regular
organization men— hence the value
of the organization’s support and the
| almost unvarying success of organiza
tion men. When it comes to the gen
eral election it is almost a case of
“take your choice between this one.”

Dreams
Urea-nut arc misty shapes of finer
■ thin g s—
Amber heath ni>on fine, sillcen strings;
Formless images of things to he—
Things for man to see, get not to see.
Dreams have fingers, thin and silvcr
pale,
(iroi>ing for communion thru a veil—
Dreams have voices calling very low
Thru the. common places that we know.
Dreams arc sometimes loving, some
times -wise,
Sometimes filled with strange, un
answered cries,
Or fair with singing music, softly
mute,
As though an angel played upon a
flute.
Dreams arc not for wealthy men
alone—r
The common world cun title the in'its
own—
Then languages arc one, hutes disap
pear,
And far horizons hover very near.

Better mailing week
First Week in June
TO THE PATRONS OF PALISADE P. O.
There are many nameless things wc see
I'hom folks who should know better
But what name shall we call the guy
Who mails a “nameless” letter?
Post Office folks know a lot of things
But this we must confess.
Wo cannot tell where a letter woes
If it has no address.
We can easily see through rt window pane
But we cannot boast with pride
That we know what's in an envelope
When it is all blank outside.
Uncle Sam will carry all your mail *
No one could do it hotter
(tut how do you think he will deliver it
With the wrong address on the letter?
Some folks think they are very shrewd
But the o*he who makes a mess
Is he. who mails a letter
With no return address.
If you don't put on where the letters' to go
And the return address it should lack
How do you think it can ever get there
And how can it ever get hack ?
You may kick and rave that the letters
don't come
That the service is a fright
But ninely-nine out of a hundrer times
The addresses are not right.
If you would only use more care
And say where the letter is going
We would get your mail out in such a way
That your joy would be overflowing.

Christian Orphan
Alumini Reunion
Once again the Annual Reunion of
the older boys and girls who have left
the Christian Orphan Home has taken
place, a most unique party, and
occurring recently in the Home.
There was not so large an attendance
as usual, because of illness or busi
ness. A large group, nevertheless,
gathered gradually and all sat down
to a supper provided by “Mother”
Nelson and paid for by her grown up
foster sons and daughters.
The little tables, each with its
pretty flow.er . nosegay, acommodated
the groups of happy, laughing young
men and women.
There was the first “baby” eve,1
received in the home, now about twen
ty-five, and the latest baby was on
hand too, only seven weeks old,
brought by Jhpr mother, from Rock
away, a former 'Home girl from her
very eaxly years.
There were five married couples,
one way from Philadelphia, the rest
of the married and unmarried ones
mostly from Brooklyn and Jersey
City, and one just about to leave for
California.
One of the first boys ever received
in the Home was there, and mariy.an
interesting and dramatic story lay
behind those fine looking young people
who as they came in affectionately
greeted- their little, mother by that
honored name.
As they gathered both, before and
after the Supper they talked, or sang
around the piano, some playing, all
singing so sweetly .for they have good
voices, those young folks, and good
manners.
At intervals, during the dainty
.supper, Superintendent Martin Ro
berg(himself a Home boy) called upon
the outside guests to speak, and greet
ings were given by Mr. Manning,
founder and president, by mother Nel
son, Mrs. Boswick, Mr. Boswick, Mrs.
Donaldson and Mr. Ortlip, and the
supper opened and closed with prayer.
Mr. Ortlip is a new but important
friend, minister of the mission near
the Home and attended by its people,
Sunday School teacher in the Home
school, and the artist who has painted
the wonderful life like portrait of the
beloved father Nelson of the Home,
who from his place over the mantel,
looks down in benediction upon the
boys and girls whom he has so largely
helped to make into the fine Christian,
self, .supporting^ American citizens of
today. - , ,
In daily benediction too, upon the
little ones stifl Ih' the Home, whom he
so loved and who loved him' so, too,
that, the smallest tots say; • while
touching trust,1 “If father had been
here we wouldn’t have had the measles !
nor the scarlet fever.” .. i

Do You Remember?
—When automobiles were called horseless carriages?
—When you bought your top and windshield and oil lamps as
extra equipment?
—When passengers climbed into the tonneau from the rear?. : !
—When it was something to brag about to drive 25 miles without
a tire change?
—When you .got most of your mileage out of boots and patches?
Those may have been the “good old days” but who would want to
go back to them. Tires have more than kept pace with automo- 1
biles in the development of durability and dependability.
With it all tire prices have gone down and down. Tire mileages
are three times what they were in 1912.
And just a few years ago you paid two and three time* a* much
for your tires as you will pay today.
Today I can sell you tires at a price that just a few years ago
couldn’t be thought of—a set of long-lived, safe, dependable and
wonedrfully comfortable Goodyear Balloons.
For real lire economy, let me quote you on your sice.
