Tax Payers Association

There was a good sized attendance at
the regular monthly meeting of the Tax
Payers Association, on the 10Th, the
president presiding The principal thing
done was long discussion of the Dor
ough question, there being no new de-
velopments on the matter The legisla-
tive committee has as yet made no report
on the measure The visit to Trenton
was exploited in report by the borough
committee chairman, in which The PAIL
sADIAN was given some painless punches,
principally on account of the editorial to
which allusion is made editorlally, in this
issue. A statement accredited to r. Z.
Brown as having said at Trenton that
The PALIsADIAN'S editorial in the Feb
ruary ISSUE on the borough situation did
not reflect the sentiment of the people on
the Fort Lee side of town, received a
prompt and effective denial by that gen
tleman, who explained that he had no
reference whatever to THE PALIsADIAN.
This paper desires to state that it can
stand the open criticism of all, even that
of the censors who so delight in ham
mering at it. But it insists that the
truth be told that is all.
There were other but unimpOrtant
matters taken up. The meeting was in
teresting and lasted till II o'clock.

Browns Sun Cured Tobacco.

R. R. Brown makes frequent trips
South He is fond of everything South
ern and owns small plantation down
there Some months ago an old colored
tenant on the place gave him some sun
cured leaf tobacco, which was brought
north as a special treat to some of his
friends who are fond of good smoke.
He provided some corncob pipes, but
upon presenting the truck to his guests
he invariably found it a mite too strong.
In fact, it bit like aqua FORTS. Some
time after that Mrs. Brown had occasion
to cover some handsome furniture for
the summer and having heard of the
efficacy of tobacco in keeping moths
away, concluded to try the sun-cured
tobacco. Good" said Mr.. Brown, and
so the deed was done. The divan was
covered with tobacco leaves, then the
linen cover put on. In the fall when
the family came back the divan was

Letter to Senator WakeIee.

New York, March II, 1908
Senator Edmund w. Wakelee, Senate
Chamber, Trenton, n J.
Dear Sir: 1t has been brought to my
attention that when our body of citizens
from Palisade met the borough COM
mittee in Thenton last week, the attorney
representing Fort Lees interests read an
editorial from The PALIsADIAN, which
he claimed was a practical admission on
my part that there was a sentiment IN
the Fort Lee end of Palisade against the
union with Palisades Park. | wish you
would kindly hand this letter to the Dor
ough committee, with a positive denial
from me that any such condition of sem
timent exists The feeling in the Fort
Lee side of Palisade is absolutely unani
nous in favor of the union with Pail
sades Park, and [ belong to the number
and always have. In fact, it was due to
my personal and individual efforts that
the people of the Fort Lee end of town
were finally induced to consider the
measure of union with Palisades Park.
There was a large element in favor of
an independent borough, but they be-
came satisfied finally, that it would be
better to go into Palisades Park. I send
you this letter and trust you will do me
the justice and courtesy of presenting
it to the proper authorities. AS the mat
ter now stands. Palisade continuing to be
a town divided by line in the two Dor
oughs, can get absolutely no sort of re-

We are given lights, and that is about
all Just at present. as stated in my edi-
toriai, Fort Lee is catering little bit
more to Palisade, but this, of course, is
done for effect-a blind man can see
this. We shall continue to be without
schools and other facilities necessary for
our proper government until we are in
one borough, or borough Of our own;
will thank you greatly if you will
kindly give this matter immediate atten-
ton. With kind personal regards, be-

Palisade at Trenton.

The recent hearing at Trenton before
the borough committee was attended by
about twenty-five Palisadians. The Pres
ident of the Tax Payers Association,
presented the side of Palisade in force
full manner, and his speech was compll-
mented on all sides. He told Of the ad-
vantages of the union with Palisades
Park, and explained how, divided as
Palisade now is, it could look for no
schools or other favors for its taxes.
The speech has been spoken of in the
highest terms as a very able effort.

Augusta is closely allied with the very
earliest American history. Old Fort
Western, built in 1854 is still standing
in a good state of preservation, opposite
the city across the Kennebec river, Au
gusta being, by the way, at the head of
navigation on this historic stream. The
town was an outpost of civilization
when the French and English were con-
tending for this part of the continent.
As far back as 1923, Captain Winslow,
Governor Bradford, Miles Standish and
John Alden came to Augusta to trade
with the Indians, and continued to do SO
tor thirty years. 1t is no legend, but
tact that Augusta was a trading post
tor 900 years. Then there was a long in
terval, after which Augusta was an out
post for the English Arnold's army
on its march to Quebec, made a two
weeks stand at Augusta in preparation
for its future troubles in battle around
the Canadian quarter This was in the
tall of I775, and Fort Western was their
headquarters.
Augusta was made city in 1907, and
the capital of the State in 1880. Port
land has more than once coveted the
honorS from Augusta, and in 1907 made
moro determined fight than ever to
satisfy her overweaning ambition in this
direction. She missed it. however, by
small margin, there being always a
strong sentiment in favor of Augusta on
account of its historical value, as well
as the merit of the city.

PLEA FOR SANE AUTO DRIVING.
Careful Autoists Should Insist on
Enforcement of, Speed Ordinance.
To the Editor of the state Journal:

To the Editor of the State Journal:
There is a popular belief that To-
peka has an ordinance limiting the
speed of automobiles. This being
true why is it that no noticeable
effort is made by those in authority
to enforce it? Hardly a day passes
that there are not several fragrant
abuses of this city law.
But the most glazing instance in
this particular line was Wednesday
afternoon on Topeka avenue. 1t was
directly after the close of the races
at the fair grounds. A young man
driving a powerful machine left the
grounds and swung into the avenue.
Immediately he threw her wide
open" His speed must have been
fully 80 miles an hour. In and out
he lodged among the vehicles, miss
ing wheels and horses by the
proverbial "whisker." While his
driving may have been source of
admiration, to himself, yet it was
pretty hard upon the nerves of those
who looked on or those who had just
been missed. In addition he showed
a rare lack of consideration for
others on the street as he left trail
ing a cuold of dust so dense that
traffic was almost stopped for sew
