in the case are that in that election
Lahm beat Corker by just two votes.
But there was recount in Bergen
County that year, and there were
found seven wrongly counted votes in
Coytesville which elected Mr.. Corker.
But Mr.. Corker knowing that Mr..
Lahm's election had been certified,
declined to take the office. So that
is how Lahm beat Corker. During
Lahm's term on the Freebooter job,
he was indicted by the Bergen County
Grand Jury, on charges relating to
County funds. The case has never
come to trial and Sam Corker, who
signed his bond for $500, has never
been released. So far as known, the
indictment still stands. Why no trial
has been ordered is not known. Per-
haps Judge Seufert could throw some
light on the subject. The Democratic
candidate for Tax Collector is a case
of leading a Lahm for a sacrifice.
Now watch him be slaughtered. The
impression prevails that Bender, now
in office, stands in high favor with the
administration.

Little Talks On Commission.
Blu The Editor.

Commission Government is so much
of departure from the present NUM-
cipal system, that by the time it has
been in force year the political sit
uatiol locally would be completely
revolutionized. Politics plays big
ger part in government than the av-
erage citizen understands. All through
the present system of administrations
from the beginning to the end of it,
it is politics, politics. The party in
power must make good as far as pos
sible all of it's obligations to the vari
Gus elements that put it in power.
Sam Brown has never had public
office, but Sam Brown must be recog-
nized. He has a following. He has
friends, and around election time he
must be seen. He agrees to throw
all of his political pull towards the
side that promises the most for "his
friends" There are these cliques in
every town, and no town is an excep-
ton. The men who work the roads
are banded the same as other workers.
How are we to be treated? they ask.
They may number thirty, and have
that many friends. Who is to be
road commissioner? They want to
know in advance. Is the boss liable
to be liberal in working hours? Are
we to have one hour or an hour and
a half at dinner time? Is he an easy
task master? We don't like to be
rushed.
Thus the elementals of politics is
largely taking care Of people-paying
back the obligation.

an argument. 1t would look mighty
bad to see Mr.. Murphy sitting in the
council with Mr.. Hirleman. And this
is said without any intention to reflect
in the slightest upon either gentle
man. But neither has any legitimate
right to be on the Council Board.
The next subject for Mr.. Kelly's
sketches is that of Edward Cavan-
augh, candidate for Assessor again.
Mr.. Cavanaugh is third term seeker.
The Sentinel says:
Edward B. Cavanaugh, the nominee
for Assessor, like Mayor Edward
White, is out for a third term. His
success heretofore has been on ac-
count of his independence in the per-
Torrance of his duties. AS he him
self says, he is not the owner of a
large amount Of real estate, and is
not under the temptation of holding
down the valuation Of his own prop
erty while possibly boosting it up for
some one else.
"Mr. Cavanaugh,is so years old. He
was born in the Borough, grew up
with more than half the voters, is
known to nearly every resident of the
community and is personally one of
the most popular men in it. His
long service as Assessor has given him
an intimate knowledge of conditions
and values and he knows at a glance
of the map whether any improve
ments have been made or any other
Lob fvroy, To hot RI
effect valuations for tax purposes
He has been instrumental in advanc-
ing valuations that were for the pub
lics interest, especially upon large
tracts of unimproved real estate.
Zone of the greatest controversies
of recent years has been over the as
sessed valuations of the Allison prop
erty. Mr.. Cavanaugh has been grad
ually adding to the valuation of this
property-about 20 per cent each year
so that he has increased it from
$500 an acre when he went into Of
flee to 5000 an acre last year. An
attempt was made to have that valu-
alton reduced by appeal to the county
board, but the figures placed by Mr.
Cavanaugh were sustained, and the
5000 valuation stands again for this
year.
"Mr. Cavanaugh has given similar
treatment to other unimproyed lands
his object being to force speculative
holdings to bear their full share OF
the burdens. This year there has beeu
general increase of all properties
especially upon real estate under the
operation of the new State law and
under the direction of the State anG
county tax boards. AS this has beer
the rule all over the State and as the
county boards have furnished the AS
SCISSORS with fixed schedules, it is be-
lieved that all property owners have
been treated alike" j.

switch post. The automobile had to
be pried from the engine, it is said
Just how the accident happened is
a confused story. 1t is said by some
that Marion stopped his bus on the
west side of the tracks to allow a
west-bound passenger train to pass
the gates at that time being lowered
Immediately the gates were raised
and Marion proceeded to cross the
tracks, not noticing the fast east
bound express which was approach
ing from the north. Before he could
clear the tracks the engine struck
him.
The men in the car were employed
as carpenters and laborers at Camp
Merritt, and it was thier custom to
travel back and forth by auto, as dc
thousands of other men working al
the camp who live in Paterson, Pas
sale and elsewhere.
The Cedar Lane crossing is dan
gerous one and many accidents have
happened at that point. There is a
considerable grade running south
from the West Englewood station
and beyond, and heavy trains pass
ing this point sometimes run at a
high rate of speed. It is guarded by
gates, but the road approach is not
open to a clear view of the tracks
north and south.
No arrests have been made as yet
but it is thought likely the gateman
will be taken in custody.-Record.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1917-10-06

would be superfous at this time. If
Mr.. Kelly can afford to boost him in
connection with the Allison Land
Company assessment we'll and good.
Mr.. Cavanaugh took his cue as to
how much this land should be assess
ed at, $136,800, from the recommen-
dation of the Borough Club which ad-
ded 20 per cent to all acreage values.
When the Allison Land Company ap-
pealed the assessment to the County
Board of Equalization, this entry is
made upon their books by William
Conklin: "ALLISON LAND COM
PANY ASSESSMENT $136,8OO, re-
duced to $4,000, Borough Assessor
Cavanaugh concurring." This is the
famous judgment handed down by Mr..
Conklin alone, the other two members
of the Board not being present, and
afterwards repudiating the decision,
the Allison Land Company taking it
then to the State Board where the
original valuation was sustained. But
that did not relieve Mr.. Cavanaugh of
the stigma of the Conklin judgment.
Any difference of opinion from this
statement is respectfully referred to
the books of the County Assessors.
That is how fair man Mr.. Cavan-
augh is. And no mention is made of
this years assessment Of the Sanford
Ross property at $4,000 dropped by
the County Board from $4,000 and
no fight made to sustaineufert,e"
no fight put up to sustain it.
George Lahm, candidate for Tax
Collector, is well-known in local poll
tics. The fact is admitted. His
Democratic master boasts of his hav-
ing beaten Sam Corker for Freebooter
in 1915. It is not true. The facts
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1917-10-06

SO sitting town government en-
tirely of these obligations along in
efficiency, you will find Commission
Government doing one thing well,
anyhow, if it does no more than elm
mate politics.
The business end of Commission
Government is its biggest asset, of
course. 1t must handle business
like bank runs, and it must be done
so that any taxpayer will know all
about what is going on. Of course,
every objector who comes along can
not upset the Commissioners, but
every man who wants to know any
thing that he should know can get it
then and there.
There can be no secrets in Com
mission. The members are merely
the peoples servants, placed in Of
flee to do their will, and to attend to
public business in a fair, clean ship
shape manner.
Efficiency is the order of the day,
and accountancy is now one of the
great things to be desired. Colleges
educate our youth, but special schools
like the Pace Institute show how even
business school graduates may rise
to the heights in accountancy.
Commission is desirable because it
is simple and clear.
1t is desirable because it puts poll
tics entirely out of business. It is
for four year periods, which removes
the turmoil for votes. 1t is prefer
able because it is not in any sense
complicated.

THE Y. N. c. A. IN WAR

Every parent Of an American sol dier should give the utmost en- couragement and support to the work being done by the Young Mems Christian Association among the soldier boys in camp in this country and on the battle fields of France. This organization is meeting a hu. man need that none but it or a similar organization can fill.
 General Sherman was pretty near the mark when he gave his famous definition of war. Putting it at the mildest, 1t is hard and hardening to the finer sensibilities of those xho engage in it. This. no doubt is necessary We are told by army officers that before a recruit is fit for the trenches he must have inn bibed a desire Ito kill" This also is probably necessary if they are to stand before the foe and give the best account of themselves.
 But it is precisely this hard side Of the boys nature that needs 10 be corrected, not by eliminating the hardness, but by rearing up along side of it a totally different nature a nature wherein the better and finer things of life are accounted of worth This can be and is done without at all taking from the boys usefulness and efficiency as a soldier Tn fact. the most important preachment of this organization is a consecrated patriotism But while viewing pat riotism as a sacred duty and effic- iency as its twin virtue the organi- zation would have the soldier regard the resort to force as a necessity and not a desire>-as a deadly weapon to be used as effectively as possible 90 long as the need exists. but to be laid aside when no longer required.
