DEATH OF MRS. (. M. cAFFALL.

The news of the sad death of Mrs.
E. M. Caffall, of West Palisade was
received on Tuesday last She passed
away at the Neurological Hospital,
New York, after a two-weeks stay at
that institution, following a period at
several other hospitals within the past
few months in vain attempt to re-
store her to normal health. She had
been long time sufferer from a com
plication of troubles.
Mrs. Caffall was the mainstay of
her family until ill health took hold
last year sometime and she had been
going down for long time. Finally
she collapsed completely, and was
then given over to the most careful
treatment without avail. Mrs. CaffalE
was a member of Trinity Episcopal
Church, Grantwood, and was for many
years a member, also, of the chorus
choir. She was also member of the
WOman's Club of Palisade, and during
the war did loyal and faithful Red
Cross work at the PaliSade branch
The funeral was private, and took
place in New York, Thursday night.
The interment was at Rockland Gene
tary, Sparkhill. The family has the
sincere sympathy of the whole com
munity.

Thoughts Of Today
HARD NUTS TO CRACK.

The peace and welfare of the world
are being made the by play of party
politics in the senate. Those objectorss
however, reckoned without their host.
They forgot that Lloyd George, Glenn
enceau and Sonnino, the keenest
brains in Europe, were just recovering
from the hardest trials in war that any
men ever faced and that their sole OBJ
ject was to draw up a document un-
mistakable in language and intent that
would secure them against another out
break from Prussian military ambition
for centuries to come. There is no
other danger for the world to fear.
These INSCRIPTIONS politicians will
not succeed in their base plans. for
they dare not go so far, but they will
try to furnish a party cry for use in
the coming year 1t is their only hope
to escape political humiliation.

ON, OVER AND
UNDER THE WATER.

The New York and New Jersey tun-
mel appears to be placed upon it's
feet at last, and now for the bridge.
1t is proposed to make the latter a
memorial to Theodore Roosevelt; a
most excellent suggestion, for we
should honor those who have served
their country with clean hands.
Let us also secure the waterfront
for public use and control. To pur-
chase it outright is out of the question:
for the value" is too great to be ex-
pressed in monetary terms. To de-
clare it confiscated would be unjust
and outrageous, for the people who
'own" that property are no different
from the people who own the rest OF
the state. Now let he Socialists
moderate and immoderate. figure out
just how to solve that problem equita-
bly, without joining the Single Tax
Party as a result of their study. Other
political parties are not barred, but
heartily invited to send in their solu-
tons. i.

We are all looking for pure gov

ton of the world since the dawn of

of disappointment that he wants no

the government what it is 1t is but
mirror that reflects our own nature.
Now, you see how much depends ON

LET UNCLE SAM LAY HOLD.

Palestine is the key to world domino

Asia, Africa and Europe This means
that the Anglo-SaxOn ideals as fore

are those ideals? Liberty, justice and
square dealing between all people
Now let Uncle Sam take hold of the
situation and exemplify these virtues
in his own case all round. The era Of
good will between Canada and the
United States, furnished by the one
hundred years of peace is a good SAM
pie. Contrast it with the 100 years
of war with Mexico to the south for
that is what 1t really amounts to.

had good time, and Tagler's mother
gave them a fine little bite to eat-a
regular birthday supper, in fact, and
they all went home happy. Those

No house in Palisade ever created

owner says it isn't, and folks who
know say it is. The article in last
weeks Palisadian stirred things up to
that extent that the Baers, who were
not at home because the floors are not
laid had more callers who went
through the house on Sunday than will
ever go there again at one time per-
