Tax Collector
Has Office Hours,
Must Pay by 5

The new system put into vogue by
the borough tax collector of Fort Lee
has Inconvenience great many peo
pie who have gone to his office to pay
taxes. 1t is now required that tax pay
ing must be 'did" before p. m. or you
will have to make another call. A
number of people have been disap-
pointed this way this spring. cts
printed on your tax BILL" is the reply
one gets when raising objections.
you'll have to abide by the rules"
All of which proves that the borough
system is not so darned altruistic an
institution as was once supposed And
the tax collectors job instead of being
position paying $500 a year bears
now very substantial salary of 81 200
to $4,000, dependent upon where it is.
And here is another point worth taking
the measure of: A gentleman who went
to pay his taxes was asked, "DO you
want to pay it all nOw?" knowing that
taxes now are due Semi-annually, in
May and December If man says,
eyes, I might as well pay it all now
and be done with it," he is giving
away six months interest on half his
taxes, at per cent. If he pays $500
in taxes and pays all down he has
handed somebody the very liberal sum
of 1925, besides paying largely in
creased taxes.

Priest Loses Car,
Gets 1t Again
In Queer Luck

A little after ten o'clock last We'd
nesday Father Bennett, of Coytesville,
drove his automobile up to the Office
of DIR. Charles Hunter in Abbott boule-
ward, Palisade, near the Junction, to
have some dentist work done. He left
it unattended, but was surprised to
find on coming out that the car was
missing TelephOning to all the near
by police headquarters, Walter Hunt
er, of EnglewoOd, a brother of the
dentist who was there, got in his own
automobile and started out after the
parties. He did not have to go far. 1t
was standing near the Palisade public
school in the little cross street, with
two boys in it. They both ran, but
Mr.. Hunter caught one by ruse. He
went off in his car but coming back
waited for the boy in the brush. He
finally returned and was taken into
custody. He was carried to Fort Lee,
and proved to be a young chap from
Coytesville. He was examined the same
night and released on promise that he
would present physicians certificate
of some kind, passing upon the state
of his mind, whatever that meant.

Kinzley a Candidate
For Bergen Sheriff

Director Kinzley of the Board of
Freeholders announces that he will be
candidate for sheriff. His statement
putting him in the race is as follows !:
''YOu may say that 1 will run for
sheriff in the Republican primary this
fall. 1 propose to work to secure the
nomination and election to that high
office. My years of close application
and effort in public affairs, I believe,
have qualified me. My training and
experience would seem to equip me
for the work connected with this re-
sponsible position.
II was born in Hackensack and my
boyhoOd days were spent within the
shadows of the county buildings. AS
a newspaper reporter early RESPONSE
bilities in and about the court house
made lasting impressions. l have
had business and personal relations
with the sheriffs for the past eight
terms, comprising almost quarter OF
a century.
"Public affairs have been my field of
research and recreation. During the
past seven years executive work on
the Hackensack Improvement Commits
sion and the Board of FreehOlders has
added greatly to my ability to serve
the public efficiently in this important
Office Prior to this official service,
years of experience on the County
Committee provided much valuable
knowledge of men and the county.
This public work, combined with my
business experiences, would seem to
equip me for the management of the
sheriff's office.
eff I am successful in the primaries
and the election it will be my earnest
endeavor to bring to this department
of the county government the best
there is in me. l believe the people
of Bergen county think l have made
good along the lines of work assigned
to me in the past, and may therefore
repose confidence in me for the flu
ture.'

conceived and fully appreciated. He
of moving the past week he had been
forced to neglect the work of prepar-
ing his effort for the day, having done
less on it than on any sermon during
his career. But ON this point his work
did not evidence any neglect whatev-
er, and many thought it one of his best
deliveries. There are some, also, who
think that his eXtempore talks are gen
orally the best. However, be this as
it may, he was at his best, and seldom
has been heard to better advantage.
He spoke of the necessity for re-
Numbering the deeds of those who
had died for their country in the
various wars we have had, and said
that they had paid the final call in de-
Tense of the nation, leaving heritage
that should never fade. Their glory
was imperishable and their fame eter-
nal. We are now facing still greater
memorial thought since the brave men
in the present great war have paid
the price of liberty with their lives
But the sacrifice was worthy of the
cause, and he believed that future
memorial days would lean to a still
greater appreciation of what was
meant by the sacrifice these dead he
roes made.
The music was not fully carried out
as planned, though Miss Dorothy Ken
worth, the we'll known GrantwOOd So
lost, sang a beautiful war song on the
dead of Flanders. AS usual, she great
ly pleased her hearers. Mr.. Guhse
again made reference to the propos-
ed community house enterprise and
said it was like many other similar
movements over the world that were
the more leading all peoples into the
ideals of a democracy for all every
where.

Junior Promenade
at Cliffside High
Was Well Attended

The Junior Prom held in the local
high school on Thursday evening was
very fine indeed. The huge gymnasium
was dressed in Blue and Gold, the
cOlOrs of the class of nineteen twenty.
The decorations were a masterpiece
and it was a great credit to the men,
bers of the class who eXerted them
selves in many ways so as to finish
the task which they so ably per-
formed. All sides of the gym had
these colors intermingled flowing
freely in the evening air. One of the
novels of this beautiful dress were the
blue and gold balloons strung from
the ceiling and bells throughout the
spacious room.
The evening dresses of the young
ladies who attended this affair were
as beautiful and chic as the wearers
of the dainty apparel Some of these
were of most beautiful shades imagi-
nable and when they mingled through
out the wonderfully decorated hall 1t
made a picture no artist could paint.
The young men with their natty
dress which consisted of blue coats
and white flannel trousers also add
ed to the effect of the scene.
Music was furnished by Jaspers
Orchestra and all present enjoyed
themselves immensely. Refreshments
were also served during the evening.

business basis by business men.

and economy, of the burdens of taxa
ton under which the people are sur
fering.

under the wOrkmens compensation
law by doing away with exorbitant eX-
penses and profits.

frage to women of New Jersey in
keeping with her sister states.
6. A system of protection for the
rural districts of the state acceptable
to labor
Z. Compulsory arbitration for pub
lie service corporations and employees
that will safeguard the interests of all

Dickens Foresaw BoIshevism.

followers the world over The blind

Munich, excepting only that Hugh and
his associates did not murder any one

starts. These fiends tried to Out-devil
the worst atrocities that accompanied

Wilsonian Methods
Used by Edwards
In N. J. Campaign

Trenton, June Mot since the days
in 1910 when Woodrow Wilson was
campaigning for governor in this state
have the Democrats been reused to
the same interest and enthusiasm as
the candidacy for the same office has
engendered in the rank and file of the
party by the canvass now being made
throughout the state, by State Sena-
tor Edward /. Edwards of Hudson
county. This man believes thorough
ly in party organization as the means
to party success and has set about
urging the leaders in every county to
build up their particular county COM
mittees so that after September
whether he or one of his rivals for the
Democratic nomination is chosen as
the standard bearer, there will be a
splendidly organized body of party
men back of the candidate to work
for his election in November.
Along these lines it is interesting
to note that the South Jersey Dem
ocrats in particular are taking on re-
newed interest in success this fall.
MUCH vi lHt circuit Luz llllS may nc
given to the Edwards candidacy When
he decided to enter the race for the
party nomination he also decided to
lend his efforts toward building up
an efficient organization particularly
among the Democrats in the southern
counties and much of his attention dur
ing the past few months has been de-
voted to that end.
The rural sections of the state gen.
orally are also receiving attention from
the Hudson senator. He has adopted
an unusual style Of campaigning.
Without the blare of trumpets and
prior advertising, he will suddenly
drop into some out of the way COM
munity in the state, gather around the
leading Democrats of the vicinity and
their friends and hold heart to heart
talk with them In a conversational
way he sets forth the reasons why he
wants to be governor of New Jersey
and this personal contact has resulted
in greatly stimulating Democratic in
terest in the less thickly populated sec
tons of the state.

G. P. H. S. Wins,
Leonia Is Victim

Coach Sperling and his baseball
squad of the local high school visited
Leonia on last Saturday and they
walked all over the Leonians, trim
ming them by the score of seventeen
to three.
1t was some game for the visiting
boys but not for the Leonia boys.
Their misery ended after the seventh
inning as there was no use of contin-
visitors was too much for them, so the
game was called.
This is the fourth victory for the
local boys this season and their stand
ing is 1000 per cent. Having won all
their games up to date, they expect
to sail in the same boat for the rest
of the season. The teams they played
were not all easy marks. Their vic
tins so far this season are in the fol-
lowing order with the scores: Cliff
side, 8; Russian Seminary 2, this
team has beaten some of the best high
school teams in New Jersey; the next
game ended Cliffside %, st. Michael's
IllSu L llllS w as Il Icul VAIN away over
fair team of ball players. Then they
faced their deadly rivals, Union Hill,
whose team is considered the best
school team in Hudson County, well
our boys knocked mo Hit" FilOn their
ace bOXman, who pitched two no hit
games this season to the club house in
the fifth inning, the tale of this game
was Clitfside 9, Union Hill 3. In the
first part of the story you learned the
result of the LeOnia game l might add
Artie Scullion, Cliffsides athletic ace,
pitched and allowed but two hits. This
is his third victory of the season. H.
VanderbOch made his third homer of
the season and Ed. Sikorski broke in
to the home run column on Saturday
The Cliffside boys stole everything but
the mark off of Paul Binders head.
Clarke, Leonia's pitcher, would be all
right if he had few ball players
backing him, but one man can't do
everything in game.

Belief and knowledge.

A sad case of superstition and igno-
rance brought about the death of a
young girl from diphtheria. Science
tells us that there is a diphtheria germ
that can be isolated and that can be
destroyed. If Christians are scientists
how can they consistently ignore this
fact? Orthodox Christianity is based
on belief and not at all on knowledge,
excepting the knowledge that comes
through belief. If Christian Science
is scientific why does it turn blind
eye to the microscope, as did Nelson
to his telescope at the battle of Copen-
hagen?

Little Girl, Six,
Burned to Death
In Hackensack

Levile Bonomo, six years old, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph B. Bono
mo, of 81 Morris street, Hackensack,
was so severely burned about the body
at o'clock Monday evening as the
result of her clothes catching fire from
gas stove, that she died at 2 80
o'clock Tuesday morning.
1t is said the little girl was play
ing about the stove when the accident
happened. She ran screaming to the
upper floor where the father was burn
ed severely on both hands in an en-
deavor to tear the flaming clothes
from the body of his child. Practical
ly every stitch of clothing was burned
off -Hackensack Record.

A "Conqueror" and Manners.

The fact that Count Brockdorff-
Rantzau kept his seat while address,
ing the allied delegates at the treaty
conference is merely an indication of
his ill breeding and kultur He was

walk out and possibly has played

to admit, however, that it is very hard
