Fairuiew Taxpayers
Oppose New School

Fairview's feeling of grievance at
what many residents claim is the un-
satisfactory management of some of
the borough's enterprises, especially
in connection with the sewer system
installation was given free expression
at Monday nights meeting of the
Taxpayers Association.
The keynote of the meeting was
the strong wave of opposition to the
proposed new school which is to come
up for election next Tuesday night; it
was decided to notify all taxpayers
to vote down the appropriation of
$4,000 for the school. The stand of
the association is not against a new
school, but against the estimated
cost, which it is claimed is excessive.
Another sore point that was I'M
covered on Monday night was the
alleged enormous excess of cost Of
the sewer system over the contract
price; 100000 is the amount which
ii is claimed the system has cost
whereas the estimates were for $118,-
900. The disposal plant muddle is
to be gone into thoroughly later.

Republican Caucus At
Borough HauAug. IS

A number of Republicans met at
the home of County Committeeman
Seymour Sears on Thursday evening
and decided to call caucus for the
nomination of candidates for the vari-
Gus local offices, such as councilmen,
collector, assessor, county committee
men and others. The date chosen
was Tuesday night, August Is; place,
Borough Hall. Plans were also made
for the forming of a Hughes cam
paign club as an entirely separate
organization from the Republican
Club and with different officers; the
purpose of the body being to work in
dependently for the election of
Hughes. 1t is expected that mum
Der of Democrats will join it. A spe-
cial meeting will be held for this pur-
pose in the near future.
The members present also decided
to join the recently organized State
Federation of Republican Clubs with
headquarters at Trenton. 1t was
large attendance at the big Republi-
can gathering at the Amusement Park
this afternoon and evening.
Chairman Sears made a report of
his work on the County Committee
during the year, and formally an
nounced his candidacy for County
Committeeman for the coming year.
1t was decided to make an appeal for
financial support from all who are
interested in the success of the Re-
publican party in the coming cam
paign. Donations will be received by
w. P. McAuley, treas, Grantwood.
1t was found that there was a
marked sentiment in favor of a great
er representation for the Grantwood
section among the borough officials.

Heartfelt Appeal
For Justice From
Fairuiew Young Man
Fairview, N. J.
I'll On 1n1n


July 20, 1916.
Editor of the "Palisadian,"
Dear Sirs:
May l ask you in the spirit of fair
ness to publish my version of an in
cident of which / am the victim?
Last week Judge Stage, of the
District Court, in Hackensack, rend-
cred a judgment against me for $25
in favor of William Strong for hav-
ing committed an assault upon him.
The assault consisted of my taking
Mr.. Strong by the arm and escorting
him to the door as ordered by Mayor
Lyons, of Fairview, at the last schoo!
election.
You can see the difficult position l
was placed in. If l had refused to
obey my superior officer l would have
been obliged to face charges of in
subordination and in all probability
have lost my job. In obeying my
superior officer l am found guilty of
having committed an assault and
obliged to pay $25.
1t seems an injustice that a man
obeying his superior must bear the
brunt while his superior goes scot
free. Not alone that but the stories
appearing in the several newspapers
have branded me as ruffian, and
while all who know me can bear wit
ness to the falsity of this statement,
still the public in general have been
given an impression IF me wholly
unjustifed.
The stories that l am an adopted
son of Mayor Lyons are without foun-
dalton. / worked for Mr.. Lyons but
am in no way related to him. Such
stories as these are unfair to me and
only serve to revive the unhappy
reminisence of my early youth and
to open the wound caused by the
passing of her, who had she lived,
would have provided home for her
boy and made it unnecessary for him
to go among strangers in his early
youth to earn living.
My plea is for fair play. If l have
done wrong ] want to be punished.
But God knows that no evil motive
prompted the act for which l have
been condemned.
Vindictiveness, l am told, prompted
the bringing of this suit, and if that
be true, then it behooves people who
preach the doctrine of purity to keep
away from ballot boxes alleged to
haMs haen- 4stuls ff ed t. - -.
With animus toward none and a
feeling of Christian kindness toward
all, l beg to remain
Respectfully yours,
John Ridgway.

Thrown From Auto,
Year Old Baby Dies

Hackensack, July 31.-Mrs. Earl
L. Card, and her step-daughter, Mrs.
Reed c. Kennedy, are Frustrated from
grief at their homes here following
the death of Mrs. Kennedy's ten
months old son early this morning
after an auto mishap late last night
few miles west of Paterson.
1t seems the auto brakes refused to
work as the car started down a steep
hill and fearful that the auto would
go over the embankment, Mr.. Card
and Mr.. Kennedy jumped and called
upon their wives to follow.
Mrs. Card was holding the baby at
the time and she tossed it to the men,
but in the darkness both clutched for
something else which was a coat, and
the child rolled down the embank-
ment. The auto bumped into tree
and stopped.
The unconscious child was hurried
to St. Joseph's Hospital in Paterson,
and DR.. E. P. Essertier, the family
physician there was summoned. The
little one died at o'clock this morn
ing from conclusion of the brain.

Mrs. Lucas On Long
Visit To Far West

Mrs. Fanny Lucas, the well-known

Bluff Road Stoned
With Small Stuff
That Makes Noise

The past week found crushed
stone scattered along Bluff road from
Palisade avenue to Abbott boulevard.
The small boys who ride wheels
kicked like young steers and cried,
"What a shame"
Also those who live along the
blocks where the stone is who wanted
to go to sleep at night couldn't on
account of passing autos crunching,
and they were awakened in the early
morning by the IRON tired milk
wagons that made enough noise to
wake the dead.
1t has been stated that the road
will be steam-rolled with a binder.
Otherwise it will be a case of cloves

Musicale

One of the most unique and delight
full childrens' parties Of the season
was the combination musicale and
birthday party given at the home of
Mrs. Koran, on Palisade avenue.
The musical was given by the pupils
of Mrs. Carney, and the birthday
celebration was in honor of Bobbie
Carney's sixth birthday. The only
regret of the occasion was the
absence of several of the little per-
formers, which was due to the rigid
quarantine.
The musical began at 2.3O and was
we'll rendered by all who took part.
Special mention should be given of
Miriam Saint, who played Beet
hoven's dainty and difficult piano solo
"For Elsie" from memory. Miriam
has studied only six months. Ger
trude Carpenter played Heller's
petite Tarantella" most creditably.
Mabel Corcoran also deserves special
mention, as does Margaret Hendy,
who concluded the program with
"Humoreske" most gracefully. After
the program test in theory was
given, and the first prize awarded to
Miriam Saint The second prize was
drawn for by practically the whole
class, and was won by Edith Mean
dross. Bobbie's party Immediately
followed. The children proceeded to
take possession of "Grandma's" lawn
which was decorated most artistically
for the occasion. All kinds of games
were played and refreshments served.
Bobbie proved himself a delightful
little host as he sat at the head of
the birthday table, and served with
his own little hands, the beautiful
cake made for the occasion. The
children all had genuine good time

Building Advance

A "Palisadian" representative was
given the opportunity of inspecting
the new Old English home of Mrs. w.
H. Walters on the slope of Edgewater
Heights recently. He found highly
artistic half timbered and brightly
cemented house with heavy gables
and red roofing tiles; also deep
upper and lower porch opening on
the beautiful river panorama. The
most prominent interior feature ar
chitecturally was the main entrance
hall with a massive cobble mantel
and fireplace. The home was fitted
with every modern convenience.

Let the TRUTH Prevai1g
In Plain English

"She is as much to blame as L. is the plea of Will
Orpet who is accused of the murder of the unfortn
ate Marian Lambert
Whether the girl, who was found dead in the
woods at Lake Forest near Chicago recently, COM
mitted suicide murdered has caused hardly
less discussion than this remark of her former sweet
heart.
''She is as much to blame as t. is the modern
substitute for Adams defense And the new form
has two advantages over the ancient, it
the truth, and it has the backing of science.
Much sentimentality is ordinarily wasted on any
two persons who make excursion away from con-
ventlona paths. In the present moraliZng on the
LambertO rpet case, there the usual warnings
to girls with explanations of why it happened.
Idleness which permits flirtations is cited among
the causes by no less authority on sex problems
than Gertrude Anterior, the novelist Mrs. Ather-
ton blames modern life for an abnormal amount of
flirting.
But science says all flirting is normal-even the
birds flirt
Ignorance of things her mother should have taught
her is frequent among comments on cases of this
kind.
But every girl who is old enough to think herself
In love knows very well that she has natural in
stinct which works for her own protection.
And she knows that she is as much to blame as the
man when she lets her propensity to flirt overcome
her instructive prudence.
There is undoubtedly increasing amount of
familiarity in the conduct of boys and girls today
In the mixing of many peoples in the national melt
ing pot great deal Of scum must rise and great
deal of sediment has got to sink
In this purifying process if high standard of
morals and manners is to survive, we must have
done with hypocrisy, and prudishness and pretense
in the education of boys and girls.
We must stop deceving ourselves about the ways
of nature
Each sex must assume its responsibility for
it's own weaknesses.

then l learned how dependent he
was on his father.
"Harvey's father wanted him
to go into his business, but his
mother wanted him to marry
this girl and become a gentleman
of leisure. Between them poor
Harvey was having pretty hard
time of it, especially as in his
heart he was loving me.
Eyes, Mrs. Waverly," she con-
tinued, seeing my rather sdopti-
cal smile, II still think that
am the woman that Harvey Pey-
ton loves" Then she stopped
quickly. "Oh. / did not intend
to tell you his full NAME" she
said tremblingly, as l recognized
the name of one of the richest
and widest young men about
town.
Never mind, dear, won't tell
anyone" l said soothingly, as
realized that his father owned
the biggest department store and
his mother and sister were
among those who, while not real
ly inNthe smart set, were work
ing toward that end. l could see
how the marriage of the son and
brother with a nurse would upset
all their plans. 1t seemed to me
that l already sighted a landing
on the shore of tragedy for the
frail bark of love in which the
boy and my little nurse had en-
barked.
But my widest imagination
could not picture the terrible ca
tastrophe that was going to be
described by the sob-shaken girl
beside me.

tient died. She was glad to go
to be relieved of her agony. I
went back to the place where

body.

you can understand Just the
state | was in.
Il felt l would give my soul
gladly for the feel Of Harvey's
arm about me to realize that in
all this world there was at least
one person that cared whether
lived or died.
II called Harvey up on the
telephone and said If you love
me come and take me some,
where for the whola day can
not stand it without you another
minute
Fortunately he managed to
get away and we went out in the
country for long drive.

had settled our affairs, but In
stead we stirred them into an
impossible mess.
