VIM. Kehoe, Old Boxer
Dead at Bellevue,
Was SO, Father of II

William Kehoe, father of Policeman
Joseph Kehoe, of Edgewater, died
at Bellevue Hospital on Wednesday
last. During the excessive weather
early in August Mr.. Kehoe was over
come with the heat and never re-
covered, remaining in the hospital
until his death. He was SO years
old, and was born in New York.
William Kehoe was a remarkable
man in many respects. He was for
twenty-five years in the Dock Depart
ment of New York City, and for five
years night watchman in the park in
Palisade. He was a quiet, unobtru-
sive man, and had many friends. In
his earlier days he was one of the
best known boxers of the country, and
engaged in many contests. He was
an exponent of the fistic art with
bare knuckles, and retained his PROV
ess to his old age. He was remark
ably active, and his skill in boxing
was always in evidence when occa-
sion warranted. When he was over
at the park he used to tell "The Pali-
sadian" many stories of his younger
days experience. He carried the clip
pings published about him in this
newspaper for many years, and al
ways had them to show to his friends.
His son Joe said this week that he no
doubt had them in his clothing when
he was taken down in his last ill
ness.
Mr. Kehoe had fourteen children,
many of them still living. He was
buried this week in Calvary Gene
terry, Brooklyn.

The Rainbow

BY Whittier.
Now in the west, the heavy clouds
Scattered and fell asunder,
While feebler came the rush OF ram,
And fainter growled the thunder.
O, beautiful! that rinbow span,
Ger dim crane-neck was bended;
One bright foot touched the eastern
hills,
And one with ocean blended.
The glory of the sunset heaven
On land and water lay
On the steep hills of Agawam,
On cape, and bluff, and bay.

Bogota Lawyer Shows
Egan Law Unjust
Editor, Palisadian,
GEHnsA NJ

Editor, PalISadlan,
Cliffside, N. j.
Dear Sir:
have read the report of Governor
Edges address at the Hohokus Fair
in which he appealed to Bergen
County to stand by the road system
adopted by the last Legislature and
attempted to defend the same. am
an admirer of the Governor and voted
for him last November; and, believe
he has given the State a good busi-
ness administration generally; but /
am at a loss to understand how he
permitted himself to be induced to
foster this so apparently unjust high
way system. | must believe that he
was overpersuaded against his own
better judgment into doing so, par
ticularly as the program necessitated
the repeating of a mild burden, which
the people had adopted upon a ref :
erendum (the Egan Law and impos-
ing upon them a tremendously heav-
ier tax burden without referendum
(the present road laws).
The Governor asks US not to be
narrow minded. AS we'll might George
III have told the American Colonies
the taxes they were asked to pay,
no matter how heavy in proportion
to representation and benefits recelv-
ed were intended for the general
benefit of the Empire. The Governor
says we must consider it along the
same principal as the proposed Hud-
son River Bridge; and that if a
bridge is going to help Bergen Coun-
ty we must insist it will help Cape
May. Let us look at it that way a
moment.
Bergen County will get practically
nothing under the road system, but
will pay approximately one million
dollars, which will go to pay for
roads in Cape May, Ocean, Atlantic
and other southern counties. Cape
May will get about SO miles of roads
costing approximately one million
dollars and will pay for the same in
taxes approximately two hundred
thousand dollars. Now suppose a
bridge were to be built in Bergen
County and for every two hundred
thousand dollars Bergen County paid
Cape May were to be taxed one mil
lion dollars. Would Cape May Coun-
ty be broad minded enough to accept
that as its just proportion of the bur
den of that undertaking, or would 1T
not just naturally be narrow minded
enough to say, "Let those who re-
ceive the most benefit pay the most!"
| know that Bergen County would not
want such an arrangement. 1t would
want to pay it's just share; and, what
is more, would have to, whether It
wanted to or not. Besides, why talk
of such remote possibility as the
bridge?
1t will be said that the road tax IS
equally levied on all assessed valua-
ton, but that is simply another way
of saying it is levied principally on
the northern counties, because every
one knows that. the greater Valuation,
is in those counties. The tax should
be levied not where the valuation IS
but where the benefit is.
1t will take but few moments OF
study of the facts for one to realize
how grossly unjust to the taxpayers
of Bergen County this road tax IS.
Yours very truly,
William st. John Tozer.

Old Tomb Unearthed
Near Greer's Hotel,
Fort Lee, Last Week

While William O'Keefe, of For.
Lee, was digging away some earth
near his bungaloo in the rear of
Greer's Hotel, Fort Lee, he came
across a large stone that bore the
name of William Hodge cut in letters
as though it had been tomb of a
person of that name. There was a
date line, also, of 1857, just sixty years
ago. Mr.. O'Keefe could find no one
who knew anything of a Hodge fami-
ly of the section, though Cyrus Prosch
had not been consulted at last re-
ports. The discovery has caused a
lot of interest among those who have
heard of it.

Auto Tour Planned
To Visit Farmers
On Next Saturday

The Bergen County Office OF Farm
Demonstration has arranged for an
automobile trip on which some OF the
leading truck and fruit farms IN the
county will be visited. The Commit
tee has decided upon Saturday, Sept.
22nd, as the date for this trip and
the route will probably be up the
Paramus Road and Franklin Turn
pike to the fruit growing section east
of Ramsey.
The party will leave the Court
House at Hackensack at about nine
o'clock in the morning. Stops VIII
be made at number of the leading
truck farms enroute including the
farms of Otto Weisgerber at Rochelle
Park, C. T. Firling and Paul Scoskie
near Ridgewood and III. j. Apperts S
at Allendale. The party will probably
reach the fruit farm of j. D. Carlough
near Ramsey at about noon and here
the lunch baskets will be put to use.
In the afternoon the farms of b.
H. Smith, Charles Voorhis, d. j. Car
Tough, Martin Litcholt and number
of others in that vicinity will be
visited; also the dairy farm of IL. A.
Davidson between Ramsey and Nah
wah. In all the trip promises to be
most enjoyable one.
Plans are being made to furnish
accommodation for limited number
who have no means of transportation.
Those who care to avail themselves
of this opportunity should notify the
Farm Demonstration Office, Court
House, Hackensack, as soon as pos
sible. Those who have their own
cars who expect to go and will have
accommodation for one or two ex-
ira persons are also requested to no
tify the office Don't forget to bring
your lunch!

Animals that Never Eat

Have you ever realized what a
number of scientific appliances have
been named after animals. And can
you furnish an explanation?
A mechanic puts his work upon a
horse, or buck, and he punches or
bends it by a convenient bear. Hoist
ing is done by a crab, a convenient
cat is part of the outfit of a shop
crane, and kit of tools is ever at
hand
A crow helps to straighten work, a
jack to lift it; mule pulley helps to
drive machinery which a donkey
engine turns. A fish connects parts
end to edn, shells are used all over,
while worm does quiet but power
full work.
