they prospected for time. He was
married to Miss Doris Foster in 1859
in Central City. Colorado. Together
they went to Kansas City, living
there several years but returned to
Colorado in 1875 and settled in Ell
bert County where many will remem-
ber the hospitality of their home on
the Bijou. In 1907 they sold their
ranch and moved to Denver where.

passed away. then the daughter. Mrs.
Fred Rudolph came to live with the

1t is almost impossible to get Ford Cars
even with fist full of orders, and without
orders, our case is hopeless We can not inn
press too strongly upon you the absolute ne
cessity of placing your order now for July.
August and September delivery.
If you want Ford Car this summer you
simply must get your order in now or wait
from weeks to 3 months for your car On
ly deposit of $25. 90 and your name is placed
on the list in the order in which it was re-
ceived, when your turn comes the car will be
delivered to you
Don't think this is an advertising stunt to
sell cars, because that is not the case We
could sell Forty cars in the next 80 days if we
could get them The trouble is the people
don't seem to realize that we can not keep
enough of these cars on hand to enable us to
furnish a car the day they decide to buy
There was time when we could do that, but
that day has past. TO get a car now you
must put in your order ahead of time and

Equal Suffrage In NelU York.

The success of woman's suffrage in
the State of New York is sign of
the times. Suffrage has no been max
ing the progress in some directions it
deserved, and New York was one of
them. But with a marvellous deter
mination that deserved success, the
women leaders have hammered their
cause into the public, until at last it
has now won it's greatest victory.
New York will probably force other
doubtful states into line. The moral
force of the New York victory will
be felt all over the country, and the
next try in Ohio will be watched with
deep interest. The one big influence
in getting so much for the cause of
woman at this tonne was the charm
ing endorsement sent in by President
Wilson. He has always been consis-
tent in his position of equal suffrage,
claiming that it was State and not
a National issue. At any rate, the
women have won victory worthy of
the cause.

MAJOR MitcheUs Defeat.

The defeat of Mayor Mitchell in
New York this week was a very
pointed rebuke to that worthy young
man He has had one of the most
successful administrations ever en-
joyed by any man, but at the final
moment when he should have been
able to pass muster, he found him
self in several embarrassing positions
from which he could not extricate
himself. He played up his loyalty
to his country just a trifle too much,
though he was largely the victim of
circumstances in the primaries that
developed fraud, and which made the
public distrust him to an extent. He
will doubtless retire with many hon
ors, but he should never again allow
himself to be entrapped as he was in
this election.

Neglected Italy.

The opinion Seems to prevail In
certain quarters that Italy has been
almost maltrestsd by no allies. They
wanted her to get into the war with
all haste. but ct the critical moment
allowed her TO 60 without the neces-
sary ammunition with which to press
on in her magnificent drive to Tri-
este. All Of q sudden whom Germany
swooped down upon her she had to
back and and retreat away from her
important gains. It MS too bad.
There are some who believe that the
allies purposely neglected. to supply
her with proper ammunition, though
this is scarcely to be credited. But
many times . good retreat may final
ly prove a great victory. Let US hope
Italy may yet triumph.

San, COrker's Defeat.

Any attempt to analyze the Fort
Lee vote would be unnecessary.
Sixty-nine voters changed would have
elected Corker. They probably were
held back by Kerwein's utilization
with the movie people, and to this
extent Kerwein might have caused
the defeat of his own ticket. The
presence of Kerwein in Council will
at least make the picture people feel
that in the defeat of Murphy, the
stranger-candidate, they do not have
an open enemy at court. On the
other hand Mr.. Kerwein is too hon
orable gentleman to do anything
in favor of any interest to the dis
arrangement of the Borough interests.
The defeat of George Burdett for
Assessor is genuine public calamity.
He was one of the most capable can
didates ever put up for that Office
He knows and understands property
values, and would have been fearless
and honest in dealing with the pub
lie. Edward Cavanaugh has been re-
turned as Assessor, and heaven help
the poor boob taxpayer for the COM
ing two years! Cavanaugh's reck-
less abandon in going rough-shod into
the process of raising revenue 10
positive and sickening spectacle OF
incompetency or Indifference. Equal
ization of values and just assessments
are strangers to his vocabulary OF
political righteousness.
AS for Sam Corker's defeat, it can
be looked upon as public calamity.
In plain, everyday manly qualities he
SO far overtowered his opponent in
the race as to completely overshad-
ow him. But Mr.. Corker had no or
ganization. His working forces were
inadequate, and very little money was
used in his campaign--not nearly en-
ough to cover expenses. 1t must be
confessed that this was his main weak
ness. And there is hint that there
was difference in his own camp that
helped to defeat him. But in Pail
SADIE he showed much strength. He
went around among the people and
they looked upon him favorably, so
that he cut down Mayor Whites vote
smartly in the latter's stronghold.
He went through without max
ing a single speech, except a
short address at county meet
ing held few nights before election.
He depended upon the thought he
supposed would be bestowed upon his
platform which stood out respondent
with honest promise and intention.
When the voter turns down q man Of
Sam Corker's integrity he does SO
at his own cost. The next two years
will miss wise and loyal admins
tration by a very strong and sue
cessful and most lovable business
mana man whose honesty Of pur-
pose is above rsproash.

Corker Loses
To Mayor White
CONTINUED from page ~

came down to Palisade. The Mayor
wore an anxious look-very anxious
look, indeed Palisade had been his
stronghold for four years, and he had
fed the people of promises, and denied
them adequate police protection, un-
til they now had begun to think for
themselves. GAS twilight dropped her
curtain down and pinned it with a
star" Mayor White mounted his chart
OF and sped him away north to his
dear old Fort Lee.
And thus the day passed among
the things that were-a day to be
remembered by all nature lovers, and
all voters in Fort Lee. There was
very little challenging during the day.
The final count showed Corker was
badly beaten, White carrying every
precinct When it was all over Mr..
Corker said: "Well, l was sure !
would win. But there was too much
trading. | counted on a better vote
for our side. But they stole our
thunder and got away with it. | am

NOJU For Commission.

The long and bitter election strife
i'll the Borough of Fort Lee is over
The real issue of the campaign; the
central thought that overshadowed all
other considerations has been Com
mission Government. The taxation
question came next in the public mind
and perhaps it was very near Com
mission in Importance. But as be-
tween Commission and lower taxes
the tendency was to feel that with
Commission, lower taxes would logic
ally follow. So that Commission was,
after all, the larger thought.
So Tai Is the Falisadian' IL con-
cerned, it feels that it may felicitate
itself to an extent, because it has
stood out so long for Commission
The very best evidence has been pro-
cured and published that Commission
Government is the wisest, most pro-
gressive form of municipal govern
ment, and the public is now convinced
tildt IL 10 So. AI lce4SI IL IS SaIioiicu
to go out and make it an issue in a
special election to be called at an
early date, and this is fine cause for
congratulation. The people are at
least thinking.
AS stated many times in these col
umns, the only force capable of put
ting up ght for Commission oppo-
sition is tne politician, and so in the
coming campaign we shall have to
face many lines of attack from that
source.
Outside of the known efficiency
manifest in all cities and towns that
are using Commission, the elimna-
ton of politics is its best asset. "The
Palisadian" editorial several months
ago on Fort Lees Biennial Scrap"
pointed out the utter folly of continu-
ing on with the present unsatisfac-
tory system, and, and urged the
breaking away from it. 1t can be
said with greater emphasis today
that the really disgraceful political
turmoil that has always reigned in
Fort Lee should be stopped dead.
Every campaign for years past has
fairly reeked with billingsgate and
smut. The people are weary of it
and have been for long time.
The promise of Commission Govern
ment for Fort Lee is its most hopeful
outlook When it is fixed and in op-
Grafton the politician will be among
the mourning listeners.
