The political scramble now going
on in Bergen county is typical of the
usual efforts for office. While no.
everybody has the political buzzing
bee, it is case of pretty nearly.
AS usual there are many good men
offering themselves on the altar of
public sacrifice. Also, there are
some rather Indifferent ones.
The old belief that politics invites
strange bed fellows is always ex-
emplified in any contest for elective
office. What every man who is out
for a job wants is votes; the kind
doesn't matter.
There are two things oneA has to
notice; "a The party candidate is al
Ways xemplarv in his own cause; ~
the other side says it isn't SO. nat :
party politics.
So far as Bergen county candidates
are concerned, it may be said that the
woods are. full of 'em." The past
record in Bergen has not been per-
fumed with many years of glorious
political deeds. 1t cannot be said to
have been locality where the after
of roses was the dominent fragrance
But at this time every man is re-
former and the atmosphere is re-
dolent of sweet promises and smiling
ways. From Congressman to justice
of the peace the same story is being
told. One hears it at dawn, and goes
to bed with the din ringing. To reat
the newspaper announcements of the
various sacrificial appeals, one woult
think that either the Millennium hat
arrived, or else the task of cleaning
the Augean Stables was at hand.
| Well, the "Palisadian" wishes every
body could hold office; in which even
the whole populace could live and di
happy.

:, Abusinq The FhOne..

The telephone is a great institution,
but it is being outrageously abused,
and you will find number of fragrant
offenders right here in Palisade.
Notable in this regard is the fell
low who regards himself as so high
and mighty that he has clerk or
secretary to answer all telephone
calls, and you cannot reach him save
through this intermediary.
This is how it sometimes works:
The telephone bell rings, and, like
startled fawn, we dash to it and
hear this:
"Is this Mr.. So and So? Well,
hold the phone"
We hold the phone, sometimes only
two or three minutes, sometimes
longer. Then the voice says again;
'Is this Mr.. So and So? Well, hold
the phone, Mr.. will be here
right away"
Gradually Mr.. comes, anc
says what he has to say. Never has
he explained why, in the name Of
common sense and impertinence, he
makes us wait while his bulky form
moves through space.
This is our humble suggestion, ant
perhaps we are going to try it. Wher
anybody calls you on the telephone
and begins by saying: as this Mr.
SO and So, hold the phone" JUST
HANG UP YOUR TELEPHONE
When you are called again and thu
same voice says, as this Mr.. So ant
So?" say eyes," and hang up you
telephone.
Little by little it might be possible
! to teach THE OTHER MAN to US,
his telephone the way you us'
| YOURS and avoid the modern, up
to-date impertinence which takes i
for granted that your time is worth
nothing, that all you have to do i:
wait while his office boy, his secretary
and assistants move him gradually tt
the telephone.
We shall be glad to hear complaints
and suggestions from the "slaves Of
the phone" For we believe that the
telephone has come to stay, and il
needs a code.
For instance, when you call on a
man, he lets you sit while he answers
fully every donkey that "calls him
up" Why is that?

Clifside's Big Boom.

The neighboring boroughs may
we'll be amazed at the present pro-
gress of Cliffside Park. Since last
year when public sentiment conferred
upon the great, fine new high school
building that has so recently been
finished, there has been steady
growth, and at this time there is
more building going on than for many
years. Added to the school enterprise
that is bound to do wonders of itself
there is every evidence now that the
new roadways system will add largely
to the value of the borough by bring
ing in a desirable class of residents
Also, the building of the new bust
ness thoroughfare along the trolley
tracks will make new town out of
Grantwood, and form the beginning
of a real business center which will
largely advertise the borough, and
naturally the whole section.
Taken as whole the wisdom of all
the public measures now being put
through is showing itself daily. Cliff
side Park and Fairview will soon be-
come a component part of the great
city that is fast coming north from
West New York and Union Hill. In
little while there is not the slight
est doubt but that this entire Hilltop
section will be one continuous city
from Bayonne to Coytesville, and no
portion of it has shown more COM
mendable enterprise than Cliffside
Park.

Mr.. Mnckay's Candidacy.

The campaign that has now drawn
to close has developed nothing more
interesting than the candidacy of
Mr.. William B. Mackay, jr., who
is running for the office of State
Senator on the Republican ticket. He
has come before the voters of the
county with a message and a mission,
and he has so clearly stated his posi-
ton on public measures that there
has been no way of lodging him. His
declaration was for home rule, local
option and opposition to bosses
meaning, of course, political BOSSES
Mr. Mackay's many warm receptions
where he has spoken all indicate that
he HIS been telling things the people
wanteN to hear. There is every be-
liefnu he willy draw big vote
f q her parties, if he Should WIN
t E mination for State Senator.
The indications are all in his favor
over the field.

To change the spirits entering there that they forget
The eyes appraised and wet,

The mute despair.

The spirits which he gave and make
The glorfied so
That they lost to and you

They will receive

To meet US, that when most / would grow sad,

And the day
When they shall tell all about the way
That they have learned to 60

But glorifed, waiting in the place
Am counted worthy in that by and by.
l do believe that God will give sweet surprise
To tear stained saddned eyes,
And that his Heaven will be
Most glad, tided through with joy for you and me,
AS we have suffered most.
God made
Spirit for spirit answering shade for shade
And placed them side by side
So wrought in one though separated, mystifed
And meant to break
quivering threads between them When we shall wake

That for little while we were so sad.

Life's Tragedies.

The narrow escape of two Palisade
youths frSn drowning recently while
in canoe on Lake Champlain, brings
to mind the thought that life's ira
gedies are always lurking where we
least expect them. The two boys in
their innocent, fearless drive in an
open canoe at night, took a mighty
risk in heavy sea, but did not real
ize their danger, as always in such
cases, until they were hurled out
into the cold waters of the lake, and
forced to cling to the bottom of the
canoe, vainly hoping for relief which
never came-that is, no human aid
came. Fortunately, Providence was
watching over the destinies of the
two boys, and the same wind that
kicked up the heavy waves that over
turned them, finally, after five long
unmerciful hours in the water, waited
them to the shore again and their
lives were saved. Such an harrow
ing experience was enough to turn
a mans hair gray, but the boys will
remember it in different way, no
doubt. 1t will make them have faith
in Divine Providence, and keep their
minds open to the greatness and
goodness of a kindly fate. 1t was
Lowell who said, Behind the dim
unknown standeth God within the
shadow, kgsSisas ~aSl -a as his
own"

Out-Classed

According to the following verses
found written in book which was re-
turned to the Huntington, Va, public
library the devil is becoming discour-
aged and ashamed of himself:
The devil sat by the lake of fire
On a pile of sulphur kegs,
His head was bowed upon his breast,
His tail between his legs.
A look of shame was on his face,
The sparks dropped from his eyes;
He'd sent his resignation
To the throne up in the skies.
"I'm down and out"
He said with sob;

talks, and where there is enough of
it to make it really shout, one hears
everything vile that can be uttered
against "Wilson Encouragement
But not everybody believes the awful
tales that have been told. The truth
is, were the President really weak,
not half the things said about him
would have been uttered. His political
skill may be depended on to give an
swer to the rot that has been put out
against him. His service to the coun-
try has been tried and found to be
simon pure, though this kind of praise
would be gall and NORWOOD to his
political opponents who appear to
hate him so cordially that they can
not have a wholesome thought about
him. This is one of the most peculiar
attitudes that party managers ever
undertook to promulgate. In the end
it is dead sure to be reactive, and
will do more to re-elect Wilson than
any other influence.

President Wilson'S Position.

With all of the harsh things that
are being uttered in the opposing
party press about President Woodrow
Wilson, he is placed in an attitude of
some little disadvantage On the sur
face. Yet it will surprise no one if
he does not make the right sort of
capital out of it. He knows the
American people are for fair play,
and the public knows that at the
present time and for some time past
affairs of the nation have taken every
moment of his time. He is fair
enough to the obligations of his Of
flee not to neglect a public trust for
any purpose, and getting into the
thick of the campaign just now would
cause some matters to be more or
less neglected. He is not built that
way. His idea of moral obligation
is too high for anything like going out
on an itinerary when affairs of State
call him to his official duties.
If he should not open his mouth
personally, he would still have fine

The presence of a general is in

army which conquered Gaul, but
Caesar; it as not the Carthaginian
army which made the republic trem-
bic at the gates of Rome, but Han
nibal; it was not the Macedonian
army which was upon the Indus, but
Alexander; it was not the French
army which carried war on the We
ser and the Inn, but Turenne; it
was not the Prussian army which
for seven years defended Prussian
against the greatest powers of
Europe, but Frederick the Great.

Freight Accidents Decrease.

The use of the huge new locomo-

against which the Brotherhoods of
freight trainmen, who are asking an
enormous increase in wages, protest
so vigorously, seems to have resulted
in a rapid decrease in accidents to
railroad employees, and decided in
crease in their safety. The number
Of railway employees killed in SER
vice diminished from $40 in 1911 to

AVOID ALLMEAT
IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys
and irritates the
Bladder.
Take Salts at first sign of Bladder
weakness or Kidney
Backache.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
fnf1ame, causing q burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation at
r. the neck of the bladder, obliging YOU
to seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night. The sufferer is in con-
stant dread, the water passes some-
times with scalding sensation and is
very profuse; again there is difficulty
in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While IL is extremely ANNOYING
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa :
ter before breakfast, continue this for
two or three days. This will neutralize
the. acids in the urine SO it no longer
is a source of irritation to the blad
den and urinary organs which then act
normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia. and is used by thousands of
folks who are subject to urinary dis
orders caused by uric acid irritation.
Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent lithia-water drink which quickly
relieves bladder trouble. - Advertise
