The people have found out that
the United States is seriously
handicapped just now in not hav-
ing merchant marine for the
shipping of non contraband goods
to Europe. If the Republican
members of the senate, assisted
by a few quasi-Democrats, had
been more interested in the needs
of this country and cared less for
the shipping trust. there would
now be more merchant ships fly

hold the hands of the president
in the matter for fear it would
make him more popular with tie

SUNDAY FETE OF
FARVIEW ITALIANS

Fairview, at its crest, was IN state
of thrill and excitement throughout
the whole long day last Sunday
Along the length of Anderson avenue,
as it curves downward from the
Walker street esplande, poles and
buildings were festooned with ribbons
and flags and thousand little lamps.
Sunday was St. Michael's Day, and
this is day which the Italians, espe-
cially of Fairview and vicnty love to
celebrate. So through Their own par
ticular church and with the generous
aid and donations of the whole neigh
borhood they beautifed the avenue
and in the evening made the night
lovely with their street illuminants,
and on the Carminia street plaza set
off grand display Offset fire-work
pieces and rockets.
Thousands of Italians visited the
vicinity during the day, and in the
evening the street was mass of hu-
mainly for blocks.

School Officials
Decry Lack Of
Civic Pride In Work

One of the newly elected members
of the Board of Education in speak
ing to "Palisadian" reporter this
week undertook to critisize the tax
payers of the borough regarding their
relation to school affairs He said
that a bitter fight was waged in
March to elect three certain officials
and now that these men are in of
flee the taxpayers have lost all in
terest in school matters and do not
attend the board meetings to find out
of their Representatives are carrying
out their prediction pledges or to
show their approval or dislike to the
work being carried on. This official
believes that the Board of Education
has task before it at this time that
should be of vial interest to every
citizen and should prompt their at
tendance at every meeting, otherwise
how is the board to know if it is act
ing in accord with the wishes of the
taxpayers.

New High School Site
Condemned For $4,000

The Condemnation Commission ap-.
pointed by Justice Parker. to condemn
the plot of three and five-tenth acres
on Palisade and Riverview avenues,
which has been selected by the vot-
ers as a site for the new nigh Scsooi.
met at the Cliffside school house on
Monday afternoon.
The School Board produced Charles
Mclean and Anton Bohm, as real
estate experts to testify as to the
value of the land, but the owners
of the property produced no witnesses,
August E. Neumann being the only
one present to represent them After
examining the witnesses the COM
missioners withdrew and after a few
minutes consultation announced that
they had decided that $21, 900 was a
fair price for the property, and that
they would recommend this decision
to the court.
The proceedings were merely for
mality to comply with the law as the
owners were perfectly willing to sell
the property for $21 900. AS Mayor
Neumann happens to be interested as
part owner in the plot it would have
been illegal for him to enter the sale,
and the Board had to proceed as if
it was compelling him to sell. At
torney Agnew, Attorney Wright,
Joseph F. Whelan and Councilman
Zimmerman were at the hearing.

Presidents Note
To Gern1unu

After seemingly long wait, the
President of the United States has
protested in very serious not to the
German Government against the sink
ing of the Lusitania. Whatever the
peace-loving element of the Ameri-
can people might have desired or ex-
pected in the circumstances, they find
no opening for criticism at the state
ment of the case by Mr.. Wilson. Re-
citing the incidents connected with the
war zone policy established by Ger
many he named the specific instances
OF this country's grievances against
the German processes of submarine
warfare, and asked in very positive
terms that the whole thing be stopped.
This, of course, refers to the sinking
of neutral ships without notification,
with or without contraband of war
cargoes. This was not an unfair nor
an unreasonable request. 1t rests
with the German Government to say
whether there shall be atonment for
what has been done and that peace
full relations will be maintained with
this country by refraining in future
from similar acts.
Nobody in this country wants war
with Germany or any other country.
1t all seems so unnecessary that we
should be involved anyhow. The ques-
ton comes up of just what part we
could or would play in war with
Germany at this time. Were Ger
many free from other entangling al
liances and did not have her neigh
bors shooting at her from all sides,
a tilt with the United States might
prove Interesting. Just what we could
hope to accomplish at the present mo-
ment is not altogether clear to the
minds of many. But be this as it
may, here's hoping we won't have any
war; that Germany will see the wis
dom of not forcing a break with the
United States, and that the entire
trouble will be satisfactorily adjusted.
God grant it!

Hackensack Jail Almost Like Home
For Violators of The Law
Made Kindly Place By Sheriff
Interesting Visit TO Bergen County Prison By "7he
Palisadian's'' Observing Young Man Who Sees
Mann Worthy Things That Won Admiration

1t is not every jail which gives
you the glad hand, so to speak, sup
plies a guide who really knows some
thing, treats you like a human being
instead of sight-seer, and asks no
questions except signing your name
in register; but, the Hackensack
County Jail is different, it is an ex-
ception, it knows how to do things
right. In this Jail they are only too
pleased to show visitors around, with
out putting them to the formality
and bother of securing a pass with
fourteen counter-signatures and then
foisting upon you an old crouch of
a guide to whom they would willing
ly give dollar before they were
half through, as is very often done in
other places.
The Hackensack Jail, under the
management of Sheriff Robert N.
Heath, is model of neatness, clean
illness, and order, we'll worth seeing
and knowing about. AS Jail, it holds
unique position, because Sheriff
Heath has some personal views about
the handling of prisoners, and being
man of action and initiative he puts
them into effect, taking the whole
responsibility of the success or fail

Fairuiew Council
Discusses Sewers
And Other Things

Fairview's board of chosen legis-
lation met in special session last Tues
day evening at Grand View Fire Hall.
The borough's affairs attended to
had almost wholly to do with the
drainage of its surface from the
reservoir at the north; thence sloping
downward to Cliff and Walker
9troet, at the middle; thence through
Shaler and Anderson avenues south
ward to Bulls Ferry road at the Dor
ough end; and along the latter west
wardly down Dan Kelly's hill to the
disposal plant.
The regular borough engineer,
Darling, was not present; but Me
Clave and McClave, of Cliffside Park,
were present to give information and
advice on the engineering problems
confronting the borough. Engineer
Steve McClave recommended the use
of a 20-inch storm water pipe along
Third street to take care of the reser-
voir leakage; also from Fourth street
down Walker.
Contractor J. J. McGarry, actual
constructor of the entire Fairview
sewer system, was present. He re-
ported that the sewer at Third street
and Shaler avenues was all finished
except at Cliff street. The section
from Walker to Cliff street had been
taken care of.
The meetings. chief interest, how
ever, was in the disposal plant, itself,
the receptacle at the sewers lower
end. This structure has been con-
demned and the question now is how
shall it be rectifed, and under whose
auspices? Engineer Darling's re-
port was read, in which he claimed
that the damage to the plant was due
to the action of he tide water in caus-
ing a void under the contact beds,
which finally caused them to give way.
Mr.. McGarry guaranteed to replace
the beds to the satisfaction of every
body. The question, however, could
not be decided as to how and by whom
the condemned plant should be re-
paired; but the council finally decided
to meet on Sunday morning with en-
gineers Darling and McClave and Me

before making their decision.
The council made the necessary APP
preparations for the running of the
borough for 1915, amounting to $12,-
300. This covered lighting, fire and
water, road, general borough and
health items. The meeting adjourn
ed to meet again Wednesday evening

glimpse of the Jail would give one a

Erring Father,
Doubly Wiued,
Gets In Badly

Now comes the story of a maynard
father in Jersey City, who, wearying
OF his domestic relations, allowed the
innocent charms of fair young hos
pital probationer to lead him from
the legally constituted family circle
INTO an illegal alliance with an out
slider.
The name of tbs most recent ad-
venturer into the mazes of cojugal
lnfidelity is Robert Schultz: domiclie,
Jersey City: occupation, chauffer OF
hospital ambulance. His companion
IN cojugal experimentation is Flor
ence Isabella Welsh, who once lived
IN 239 CLERK street, Jersey City. She
is now in the custody of the Newark
police.
Last month Miss Florence felt her
self drawn toward hospital work for
about two weeks; then she thought
she had cold, and, anyway, she had
mad sufficient experience in hospital
work to believe all the hard things
said about it. Meanwhile, she had
seen Robert, and Robert had succumb-
ed, and what did they do but decide
to be married?
Robert, thinking that it would be
pleasanter all around, invited his Or
binary wife and six-year old daughter
to visit her own family in New York
About this tine Florence, caught cold
and just had to leave the hospital
1t was indigestion that Robert gave
as an excuse.
SO they were married But the
somewhat overwiver Robert has left
his one time haunts without leaving
his address.
Some lessons come hard.
