Cannot Do Without Sleep.

Sleep is a necessity of life no less
than is food. No man has ever sue
ceeded in keeping awake for more than
a few days continuously If he is
forced to do So as in ancient Chinese
tortures, where constant tickling of
the feet made sleep impossible, he falls
at last into a cOmatoSe state from
which he never awakeS.
Among other occupations that no
longer exist in a great part of the
world is that of after dinner speakers.

SENATOR MACkAY
M0DESTLY Tells OF
q CANDIDATES
Bergen Senator Wants Newton
K. Buubee for Governor and
Says Why.

Senator William B. Mackay, Jr., of
Bergen county in letter addressed 10
the mayor of Riverside borough adyo-
cafes the nomination of State Comp
troller Newton A. X. Bugbee as the
Republican candidate for governor for
reasons specifically set forth. The
Bergen senator regards Mr.. Bugbee as
the strongest candidate of the four
men who have filed petitions because
of his knowledge of state affairs gain
work in connection with former Gov
ernor Walter E. Edge and State Treas
urer William T. Read.
Senator Mackay is Il strong believer
in the principle that the people should
be permitted to express their opinion
on all matters that vitally concern
their government and particularly on,
the liquor question. He was one of
the authors and sponsors of the Gaunt-
Mackay local option bill, because he
believed the people had a right to say
whether or not the sale of liquor should
be permitted. AS he puts it, There
can never be any danger of disturb
ances so long as the people of the state
have voice in their government"
In addition Senator Mackay states
that Mr.. Bugbee would be the strong
est candidate in North Jersey, whereas

necessary to protect their fellow
townsmen from injustice.
In this connection The Palisadian
this week addressed letter to Mr.. j.
S. O'TOole of the Public Service at
Newark, on the discrimination re-
ferred to in the Edgewater-Pa Palisade
zone and received the following an
swer:
In regard to your inquiry as to
why an exception was made in the
rate for the zone mile beginning at
Edgewater Ferry, the explanation is
that, obviously, it costs more to build
Il mile of track up the side of the
Palisades than any other place on the
company's system with the possible
exception of Eagle Rock Cat Mont
clair), which is also excepted in the
same manner as the Edgewater zone.
1t also costs more to operate over
these abnormal grades and the mini
mum rate was based upon the extra
costs of operation.
THAT the Palisades Amusement
Park patrons would come within this
zone is only an incident AS Il matter
of fact there are no such patrons over
Il large portion of the year, as you
know, and while it is true that the
regular rider who rides wholly with
in the single zone, to and from the
ferry, would be called upon to pay a
five-cent fare, the patron whose ride
covers two or more zones, will not
feel the effect of the exception. In
other words the passengers can ride
one or two zones for the same fare"
