''Why not get together and work

be the most natural thing in the world
to do If Fort Lee appears to be
wrong in the handling of her fnan-
ces, an appeal to reason, it seems to
me, would have been more effective
than a peremptory demand for an in

the integrity of the people when we
made our charge. They were quick

is the truest exponent, the only true

has many ideals worth caring for and

Local Situation, and Deplores the
Strained Relations Between Pail
SADIE and Fort Lee-She Has a
Remedy to Heal the Breach.
On the subject of keeping pleasant
Mrs. Captain Samuel E. Darby has
some decided views which She con
scented to give through the mediufn of
an interview in THE Palisadfan."
Mrs. Darby is an enthusiastic worker
in any cause that tends for ff1e public
veal, and is one for whom no labor
in behalf of Palisade has ever been
deemed too irkso11E Her work in
all that has had tendency to uplift
the community has always been done
with unselhsh spirit, and with a de-
examinations to win for her cause, no
matter what it meant in the way of
exertion. To this end she was fore
most in fighting with the Public
Service for betterment in the way of
service, and to her watchful and en-
ergetic care was due the increased
number of stopping places here, and
she also thinks that her labors worked
to the advantage of getting transfers
at the Junction, and to Leonia and
other points. Mrs Darby also
many important enterprises for the
good of Palisade, including the plac-
ing of wicker-iron baskets at the Post
Office and Junction corners in order
that there might be the minimum
amount of littering of the streets from
waste paper thrown around by care
less people.
The Fort Lee Breach.
In speaking of borough matters,
Mrs. Darby said:
while | have no desire to criticise
any one, and am not myself in
politics, | am at the same time free
between the people of Palisade and
Fort Lee are most regrettable.
Whatever may have been the mo-
tives behind many of the notions of
our local leaders in forcing a fight
to extremes with our neighboring
town, and the mother village of the
borough, | have never been able to
look at the matter except to believe
that 1t was false move as a whole.
The way to accomplish anything is
last of all through the medium of
abuse or criticism. None of us may
lay claim to the privilege of saying
we are always right: none of us is
lIIliuuC from error. therefore, L
say that before we began the attacks
upon the attitude of the people up
there we should have been guarded
enough to study their motives first.
1t Is to be assumed that men who
are willing to offer their services in
serving the people without cost are
possessed of at least modicum of
patriotic sacrifice. What else can
actuate them? Honors are futile
things compared TO the labor and toll

believe that every man is worthy
of his hire. and therefore it is wrong
as a system that men should work
without compensation. But having

form of local government we should

not. I have an abiding faith that we
