Suffrage Issue
Coming Up Agar,

The Suffragists in Bergen are plan
ming further activity along three
lines, one of them being a plan to
quiz State Senate aspirants.
They are circulating petitions to
Congress asking that body to pass a
federal amendment granting women
the right to vote. Such amendment
to be effective, would have to be ap-
proved by the legislatures of two
thirds of the States in the Union.
They are circulating petitions ask
ing the New Jersey Legislature to
pass bill at this session granting
women the right to vote at the pri-
maries to be held next May for the
election of delegates to the Demo-
cratic and Republican National con-
ventions.
They are getting ready to help
work for the nomination of candi-
dates for State Senators next fall
who will be pledged to vote in 1919
for the resubmission to the people
of New Jersey in 1920 of a proposed
amendment giving the women of New
Jersey, by change in the State con-
stitution, the right to vote. The fate
of the move in Congress is in doubt.
At it's best the plan to get the ballot
by federal action is tedious and long
drawn out.
The proposition to get the New
Jersey Legislature to pass bill to
let the women vote at the coming
presidential primaries in May is not
likely to meet with approval in Tren-
ton, in view of the fact that only last
fall New Jersey by $1,000 majority
defeated the proposed state constitu-
tional amendment to let the women
vote regular and special elections
in New Jersey.
Most of the women suffragists are
agreed that the most sensible plan
is to work for the adoption Of state
amendment in 1920, which is the
earliest date at which the people may
vote on proposed state constitutional
changes.
Bergen county will be- one of the
counties that will elect a State Sen
ator next fall for three year term.
That Senator will be able to vote in
1919 on the question of resubmitting
, the suffrage amendment to the peo-
pie of New Jersey in 1920. Hence
the necessity of the election of State
Senators who will vote for resubmis-
sion of the Suffrage question.

Palisade Fire Ladies'

was common comment in the ball
room: "Isn't the music splendid"
The music was so excellent that the
younger ones present just could not
keep still, and many an elderly per-
son, who had mot danced in twenty
years or MORE" yielded to the temp
tation of the rapturous strains and
essayed the modern steps with no
mean skill or ability.
Around midnight Caterer Cole, of
Ridgewood, turned loose his bat
talon of negro walters and served
delightful supper, composed of
chicken salad, two kinds of sand
wiches, ice cream and fancy cakes
and coffee. 1t was exactly what was
needed to sustain the guests and put
renewed spirit into them for the re-
mainder of the program after the
intermission.
An exhibition dance was given by
Mr.. and Miss Fletcher, who did well
and brought forth much applause,
which forced them to give an encore,
which they graciously acceeded to.
George Lane, president of Vol
unteer Hose Co. No. A, Fort Lee, was
called upon to make a few remarks,
which he did in a most able and ap-
propriate manner.
Among those present were: Misses
Lucille Martin, Laura Ribeth, Lindsey,
Alice Thayer, Clara Foeppel, Louise
Purnell, Mildred Brady, Maude

Ferry road surveyed with view to
Bovine, Louise Hermann, Penelope
Lyons stated that the probable cost
would be about $4,000, of which
amount the borough would have to
pay half; he added that the borough's
half might be paid by the Public
Service Corporation as bonus for a
franchise to operate it's trolley on the
road. In the event of the trolley
being built the company would have
to pave the road between the tracks
and eighteen inches beyond the
tracks on each side. Mr.. Lyons was
of the opinion that the scheme
merited serious consideration and it
was agreed that the clerk arrange
for conference between the borough
officials and the corporations repre-
sentatives.
Quiatus on Graft Talk
The rumpus raised at previous
meeting by the cry of graft and
bribery in connection with the lay
ing of pipes by the Hackensack
Water Co. on Edgewater road, was
quoted for all time by the reading
of letter from the water company
to the effect that the pipes were laid
without the consent of any official,
because they were only of a tempo
rary nature and were laid on the
company's property. The letter vigor-
ously denied that any COMPENSATION
was offered, or given to any official,
nor was any solicited. Engineer Nc
Clave testified that the pipes were
laid on the company's property be-
yond the borough line and situate in
Cliffside borough.
Mayor Lyons reported that the
Freeholders had sent gang of men
to repair the conditions that have
caused sea of mud to exist at the
southern terminal of the Anderson
boulevard; he added that the Free
holders had consented to the extern
sion of the boulevard to the county
line, and to running the improvement
200 feet east and west of Anderson
avenue on Bulls Ferry road.
Bids were received for furnishing
crushed stone and coal and for col
Letting garbage; Thomas Mannion
was the only bidder for garbage re-
moval and he got the contract for
$845, which is $100 in excess of the
1915 bid.
Crushed Stone Contract Let
The Cliffside Trap Rock Co. was
awarded the contract for furnishing
crushed stone for the roads at $1.55
cubic yard. Nicola Scioli bid $1.70.
Stone was furnished last year for
$1.35 a yard. L. B. Durham was
awarded the contract for furnishing
coal; his bid was $685. ton; Thomas
Greenhalgh bid $6.75 and Thomas
Mannion $674.

Light Shining Out Of Darkness

God moves in mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds we so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning Providence
He hides a smiling face.
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

$50 LOYAL ONES PARTAKE OF THF FEAST

The Republican politicians and
their friends of Bergen county held
love-feast dinner at Cella's, Fort
Lee, last Saturday night. There
were some $50 of the elect out, in
GLIDING Ex-Governor Edwin C. Stokes,
who raked the Wilson administra-
ton fore and bitterly" as one
report had it. Among the ex-Gover-
nor's points were these:
"The Democratic party is a great
spender but poor provider, and the
administration at Washington now
finds itself without means for ade-
quate national defense.
eve are peaceful nation and we
realize that civilization is still bar
barrie and that treaties are mere
worthless scraps of paper it behooves
US to defend ourselves against any
aggressor. The conduct of the Ameri-
can administration in the Lusitania
and other European cases and the
Mexican messes has resulted in utter
failure and instead Of being the ar
bitrator of the world we are without
the friendship of single one of the
great powers.
"The Presidents slogan, America
First has become a hollow mockery,
and we are getting nothing but the
scorn of Europe and Mexico's utter
contempt. Entirely too many paper
bullets have been used in the defense
of this great nation, and it is about
time that someone is put in charge
at Washington to reinstate our dig
nifty.
"It's- a great administration that
can't defend an American outside of
the limits of his own country, and
our foreign trade will never amount
to anything until our flag is strong
enough to protect our citizens in no
matter what part of the globe that
may happen to be-"
One of the surprises of the even
ing was a statement from John T..
Prince, ex-senator, saying he would
be a candidate for Governor if vice
Chancellor Vivian M. Lewis did not
go out for gubernatorial honors.
Major S. Wood McClave, of Cliff
side, Congress candidate, spoke in
a general way of the prospects of
victory this fall, both in State and
national issues, and called particular
attention to the errors and mistakes
of the Democratic administration. He,
too, mentioned the necessity for pre-
paredness and declared that we had
been thrust bodily into the worlds
activities and that we were no longer
being lead, but that 1--WE lead"
Among the other speakers were
John R. Ramsay, of Hackensack,
candidate for Congress, Judge David
B. Zabriskie, candidate for State
Senator, w. B. Mackay, jr., w.
Irving Glover, of Englewood, former
Freebooter, County Committeeman P.
C. Wadsworth, of Glen Rock, and AS
semblyman Alderman, of Ridgewood.
Ex-senator Edmund w. Wakelee was
present with his partner, Wendell j.
Wright, but neither spoke, but the
ex-senator must have had good con-
troll" not to have gotten to the pitch
ing mound at such gathering. The
dollar dinner made Pete Cella's heart
glad, and it was said to have been
one of his best.

Agnew's Commission
Presents Bill In Senate

Ex-Assemblyman Arthur M.
Agnew, of Grantwood, now assist
ant prosecutor of Bergen county, al
though but lately recovered from a
severe attack of the grip, kindly al
lowed himself to be interviewed this
week on Senate bill, No. 2. the prod
uct of the New Jersey Economy and
Efficiency Commission, of which Mr..
Agnew is member.
The bill was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Edge, chairman of
the Commission. The bill, in concrete
form, was a six-page, legal cap docu-
ment, with nineteen paragraphs. 1t
provided, in effect, for State Pur-
chasing Department, with a purchas-
ing agent and staff, and operating
under the State House Commission,
through which all supplies for State
use should be acquired, including
furniture, equipment, materials, print
ing and stationery. The purchasing
agents salary was fixed at $4,000
Mr.. Agnew also referred to the
other bill recommended by his Com
mission, Senate bill No. 8, which he
said was supplemental to the State
Tenement House Law. He said that
there had been movement to abol-
ish, the latter, but, after thorough
investigation on the part of the Com
mission, they had decided that the
law was in reality indispensable to
the proper regulation of building and
buildings in the State.
The chief objection brought for
ward by those desiring the repeal of
the law was that the majority of
counties whose taxes were applied
toward the laws operation received
no direct profit therefrom.

Texans File Protest-Citizens of Del
Rio War Department to Send
Negro Troops Away.

Del Rio, Texas, April 9.-Private
John Wade of Company G., Twenty
fourth United States infantry, a negro
regiment, was killed here late last
night by State Ranger Barrier, when
two rangers and Sheriff Almond at
tempted to arrest 16 negro soldiers
who had created a disturbance in a
house in the restricted district.
According to testimony before a
coroner's jury today, Wade overpow-
cred Barrier after he had been placed
under arrest and after throwing the
officer to the ground, was clubbing
him over the head with the butt of a
revolver when Barrier drew his pistol
and fired, killing the soldier. The
jury's verdict held that. Barler.-acted
in sef-defense.
Two of Wades companions were
arrested and are being held under
guard at the military camp.
AS a result of the occurrence. tele-
grams signed by a number of citizens
were sent to Washington today asking
that the negro troops, who have been
on duty here about three weeks, be
removed to some other station.
Testimony at the inquest was to tee
effect that the negroes, after being
refused admission to a house in the
restricted district returned later
armed and raided the place, shooting
out all the windows.
Several soldiers escaped when the
officers arrived and ran in another
direction, according to the sheriff. He
said group of these encountered a
Mexican deputy sheriff and ordered
him to bold up his hands while one
relieved him of his pistol.
"Shall we kill him." one was quoted
as saying.
NO" was the reported reply,
Were only after the white folks"

OKLAHOMA MOB
LYNCHES NEGRO
SLAYER OF POLICEMAN SHOT
TO DEATH.
Riddled by Bullets-Body Tied to
Automobile and Dragged Through
Streets of Town.

Lawton, Okla, April 9.-Carl Dud-
ley, a negro, charged with having shot
and fatally wounded James Hayes, a
policeman, was taken from the Com
manche county Jail here late tonight
by a mob of several hundred men and
shot to death in the prison yard. Af-
ter the negro's body had been riddled
with bullets it was tied to an automo-
bile and dragged through the streets.
None of the mob was masked. One
bystander was slightly wounded in the
fusillade in the Jail yard.
Hayes was shot and wounded while
attempting to arrest the negro here
yesterday on a charge of disturbing
the peace. The officer died this morn
ing.
Dudley was captured shortly after
the shooting and hurried to the army
post at Fort Sill for safekeeping. At
ter holding the negro over night,
army officers returned him to the
county authorities this morning. The
mob formed quickly tonight and,
gaining entrance to the quarters of
the sheriff at the Jail, overpowered
him and took the negro from his cell.
At midnight the mob was dispensing
and no more disorder was anticipated.
Shots fired in the negro settlement
shortly after the lynching gave rise
to fears of a possible race clash. Of
ficers who hurried to the scene found
a negro hiding in an alley armed with
rifle. He was arrested.
