the rights of the people in the
Main street improvement.
"This Main street mess is about
the worst case of mismanaged eff
ficiency ever put on the books. Think
of the main thoroughfare of town
as big as Fort Lee, absolutely i'm
passable for over a year. At the
crossings something better than
cross ties could have been arranged
for vehicles and automobiles, yet
this imposition was allowed to drift
on and on and never a thing done.
No street cars running to Leonia, and
people forced to walk in mud and
slush all winter. No traffic on the
street except at the risk of damage
by day or broken necks by night.
Think of a whole section of the town,
1000 people, being isolated over
a year! A nasty, inexcusable, bed
lam mess all over, and the very worst
spectacle of incompetent manage
ment that ever disgraced COM
munity. The people had a right to
expect better, but they never got it.
Main street has been stencil in the
public nostrils, a discredit to the
borough of Fort Lee, and the finest

Passaic High Is
Cliffside High -

Cliffside High lost to Passaic High
last Tuesday afternoon in a hard
fought football game at the grounds
of the Passaic High School. The
score was 25 to 13 in the latter's
favor.
The Cliffside lineup was as fol-
lows: Fred Rollins, full back; Ray
Grant, half back; Otto Stein, half
back and captain; Irving Goemann,
quarter back; Arthur Scullion, center;
Ed Prout, guard; Earl Willnou,
guard; Raymond Velsey, tackle;
Fred Ottell, tackle; Valentine FRANKIE
and Tony Griffin, ends.
The substitutes who took part
were Owen Bremen for Valentine
FRANKIE; Fred Ottell, who took Fred
Rollins place during the last two
minutes of play owing to an injury
to the latter; Fred Grant and George
Lewis.

S tu Y. He contributed
books worth while. Scien-
lists were benefited by his
observations. The stronger,
was fired as a football
coach. His methods were
obsolete. He had money
saved so didn't have to
worry about the future,
but nothing interested him
any longer. "Sports" had
always been the life of
him and now that he was
too old to partake of them,
nothing could please him.
He had never taken an in
terest in anything else
and it is a true saying,
"You can't teach an old
dog new tricks" His case
was hopeless. He died of
old age, at forty-eight.
The weaker, still derives
an abundance of joy from
study in the woods. He
is now fifty-five and feels
forty-eight.

A Condensed Fable

Once there were two
boys who went to college
together. One was rather
weak and studious and the
other strong and crazy for
sports. The weaker one
one studied botany and
ornithology. He enjoyed
nothing better than going
into the woods to study
nature. The stronger"
laughed at him for taking
such an interest in tame
things.
eff you come into the
gym and exercise, play
basketball, ETC.; you will
soon get strong," said the
stronger one, but the
weaker boy refused. He
would rather go into the
woods and study. Later,
they graduated together.
The weaker with honors
and the stronger nearly
failing. Then they went
their different ways. The
weaker went west to
study life in the Rockies.
The stronger obtained a
position as the college foot
ball coach.
Years later, the weaker,
now weak no longer, owing
to his living out in the
open continually, became
an authority on nature

evidence of inefficient municipal mis-
management that ever went into the
records. Yet they criticise me for
trying to make cross street so peo-
pie could get through. 1t ran from
Lemoihe avenue to Hudson terrace.
1t is simply scandalous. 1t has tried
everybody's patience and nauseated

"No doubt the administration will
say that they had no rights in the

provements were controlled by the
county; but if the public will take
the trouble to read House Bill No.

and county have joint jurisdiction
over roads improved under this bill.
mayor White will no doubt try
to squirm out of this mess, but if
a record of year and a half of
confusion may be excused, and laid
on the shoulders of others, heaven
help us. Running for the same Of
flee, he is trying to climb back again
into the good graces of the people
over my record, when his own is
more full of incompetency. This is
what | honestly think: That of all
the mayors Fort Lee ever had, Ed
ward A White is the rankest, worst,
and most incompetent. He has licked
the dust from the feet of his fiat
terers, while knitting those who put
him on his throne. The crown he
wears is on lop-sided, and always has
been. He is drunk with his own i'm
portance, and intoxicated with the
wine of self-conceit.
''Let him go ahead and be elected
mayor again. If the people are go
ing to stand for his mud-slinging
nobody wants to stop him. They
will rue the day, though, when they
again elect a man who makes a
family affair of public office, and who
shouts from the house tops, 4 am
holier than thou!'"
"There were never any frills on my
administration. We served the peo-
pie honestly, patiently, and properly.
We cut no monkey shines at any
time. We took no undue liberties
with anything that was borough
business. There was always as clear
an understanding of borough finances
under us as under Mayor White. We
cut no fancy SCunCS OF pigeon wings.
We are now charged with inca
pacity for doing our duty. Why
wouldn't it be better to get up a
resolution of thanks because of our
faithful service. 1t would be in
much better taste, to say the least.
"When Mayor White went into
Office it was successful New York
business gentlemen. Over here in
the shades of Fort Lee he has never
delivered anything but talk on his
record. Well, it hasn't been any
thing to talk about! He might bet
ter have kept quiet. If he had come
out and said, 4 am Democrat and
appealed on that line, it would have
been better judgment. But instead
of that he finds himself with less ac-
complished, when you sift it down to
rock bottom, than any mayor within
fifteen years. He wants to come
back on his own record and my
blunders. | never committed any
serious plumbers, unless he tells it.
Let him go out and make real
real record. He hasn't got any here
worth while"

By One of the Bugs
Chapter 7

Nearo, the flea, swan
to shore and sat on the
bank of the brook to dry
in the Sun. A young boy
with a poodle dog passed
by. "Come on Nearo,"
said the boy as the dog
stopped to scratch himself.
"Ah! hal" exclaimed our
disliked hero, ''That dog
is my namesake. He is
also a resident keeper.
How lucky! l will make
him my home and rule
with an iron hand" So
saying and losing little
time, Nearo the flea,
jumped onto Carlo the
dog and conquering the
other fieas, he soon made
himself their leader.

NECKLACE OF HUMAN FINGERS
Remarkable and Gruesome Exhibit at
Present in New National Mu-
scum at Washington.

At the new National museum at
Washington there are many kinds of
necklaces, and among the most curl
Gus and gruesome are three made of
human fingers. Two are made almost
entirely OF the first joints OF fingers.
The third is much more pretentious.
It is elaborately beaded and hanging
stifly from the collar of the necklace
are eight fingers. These are eight mid
die fingers cut from the left hand of
hostile Indian warriors by their In.
dian enemies. The bone was deftly
withdrawn from the fingers, the flesh
cured, and a stick, in lieu Of bone,
was inserted in each finger.
Appended to the necklace are four
or FIVE tiny bags. This uncouth adorn-
ment was a medicine necklace, and
was once the property of the Chey-
ennes and Sioux Indians. Its loss wal
attended with great lamentation OF
the part of the Indians. The necklaci
was captured in campaign against
the Sioux and Cheyennes, in 1S76-7z
In the old National museum, among
the leather goods, is pair of boots
made from human skin. Nothing defi-
mite can be learned concerning this
unusual footgear.
