kENNEY'S APPEAL IS LAMENTATI0N,
SAYS MAYOR CADlEN, AND that
ELECTION TALK IS 'PREPOSTEROUS'

Last week Edward A. Kenney, re.
Park, sent letter to Mayor Cadien
telling him his (Kenney's) name had
been left off some of the ballots and
saying he was going to appeal to the
courts for new election. Mayor Ca
dien this week sent Mr.. Kenney the
following reply:
Dear Mr. Kenney-I am in receipt
of your letter of the 9th inst, and as
it is not unusual for a disappointed
candidate to seek solace in some form
of pOst-election lamentatiOn, | can I'M
derstand the spirit and motive of your
communication.
You are aware no doubt that all the
ballots contained a column expressly
providing the information that any
name not appearing on the ballot may
be written in by the voter as his or her
personal choice Therefore it was at
no time impossible for any of the
voters to express their choice for you.
Although. through inadvertence. the
county clerk at Hackensack, with
whom the entire responsibility rests
for printing and supplying the official
| ballots, omitted to put my name, as
well as yours, on one or more of the
ballots in the column headed "Nomina-
| ton by Petition" 1 feel that no injus-
tice has been done to me or to you, as
every voter has had the opportunity to
express his choice. and unless you hold
some i'll will toward me individually
for having been chosen by the voters
as their mayor by reelection you would
not feel that any damage has been
done to you.
1t occurs to You, of course, that there
was some advantage to me in your
name being mentioned to the several
voters Immediately before voting by
the Board of Elections acting under,
the advice of the proper authority.
| Your suggestion that attempts be
made to upset in some manner the free
will of the people, duly expressed
| through the medium of the ballot at
the election of the Sth inst, is prepos-
ferrous. Yours truly,
JOHN C. CADIEN.

Edgewood Lane
Needs a Watching

A resident of Edgewood lane this
week spoke to The Palisadian about
some matters pertaining to that thor
oughfare that are at least interesting.
Said the informant:
'Things are not going along in Edge
wood lane just as they should. Some
of the residents are not caring for the
looks Of things as they should. Trash
is thrown around loose in places, and a
few days ago a lot of it was thrown
near the fire bell Tonight 1 tripped
on a piece of wire on the sidewalk and
almost fell, tearing my clothing. The
same thing happened last week. A
resident recently missed the ash can
and could not understand why it had
disappeared. 1t was later found dan
Cling from the top of a telephone pole
nearby. The top of the can is still
missing. Now, all this may be fun for
the boys, but it is not altogether eth
ical to say the least. 1 wish something
could be done to stop such things. l
am told that the ash can was nearly
new, and to have it treated that way
is neither nice nor fair

Beecher's Cousin
Dies in Palisade

Miss Mary Carleston Beecher,
seventy-six, cousin of the late Henry
Ward Beecher, died last Sunday at
fs~oscfock p. m. at the home of Mrs.
Major Flack, Bersford Park, Palisade,

many years with Mrs. Flack, and was
a most companionable person. She
was the daughter of William Augustus
Beecher and Maria T. Bedlow. She
recently had a severe attack of acute
indigestion and a doctor was called.
She seemed to recover quickly, but
her end came with great suddeness
when she fell over into Mrs. Flack's
arms and died instantly. The funeral
was held at the Greenwood Cemetery
chapel in Brooklyn Friday. Miss
Beecher left sister, Mrs. George f.
Thompson, two nephews and niece.

High School Gives
"Jolly JESTER

ga jolly Jester" was quite a sensa-
tional feature at the Cliffside Park
High School on Monday afternoon
after school hours. The whole enter
tainment, under the auspices of the
Woman's Club of Cliffside Park, was
of great educational interest to the
pupils.
Mrs. J. G. Coulter, chairman of Civ
les, in the club made the arrangements
for this affair, the club having voted
unanimously last spring to secure this
hygienic clown as so on as he could be
engaged. The Literature Department,
being asked to secure some music, Mrs.
Reeves was asked by the chairman of
that department and sang very accept
ably Little Boy Blue" for the children.
Mrs. Bacon played saXaphone selec-
lions. Mrs. William HeatOn, chairman
of the Educational Department, by re-
quest told little story, the, point of
which was that parents, teachers and
the whole community were interested
in the children and IN what they do.
AS Supervising Principal Hall was
unable to be present, he sent letter
which was read by Mrs. Coulter. Mrs.
John White, president of the Woman's
Club, told about the manner of secur-
ing the Jolly Jester.
This gentleman commands a good
price, but his varied accomplishments
deserve it. He came prancing in up
the middle aisle on Dobbin, his steed,
a horse head on stick, and with his
clown costume and his realistic mon
key and his ventriloquistic powers
gave a splendid performance, demon
strating with his exhibit of vegetables,
ETC., what vegetables were good for
children and why, the good qualities
of milk and the bad affects Of tea and
coffee, ETC., impressing with joke and
drama hygienic methods of living.
The big school was crowded to ca
|pacity with the grades and the Junior
High, and the happy afternoon will
song be remembered.

pears to be the consensus of opinion
of the dance given by the julius Ia
nette Post of Palisade on Armistice

The excellent music and the attrac-

The largest congregation of the sea-

IN UNFAIR, IRREGULAR ELECTION

undue suppression of the peoples
will.
I was hopeful that you, as the chief
executive of the Borough of Cliffside
Park, sworn to uphold the laws of
the State, might see what is obvious
and known to every one, namely, that
the voters of Cliffside Park were
cheated out of their right to express
their choice for mayor. That the
candidates whose names appeared on
all of the ballots had an advantage
over one whose name did not appear
on all of the ballots is fact so glar-
ing that only one blinded by prejudice
and self-interest cannot discern it.
1t seems that you are satisfied with
your position as a beneficiary of an
irregular and unfair election and
moreover that you fear another cleo
ton conducted in a regular, fair and
lawful manner.
Yours truly,
EDWARD A. KENNEY.

Chicken Pie Dinner
Culinary Triumph

The chicken pie supper at the Union
Church of Palisade on Thursday eve-
ming was no less pronounced success
than any of its predecessors. So
much has been said of these affairs
that when one of them is mentioned,
it is like an anticipated holiday
everybody gets ready to celebrate. The
crowd this time was one of the larg-
est that ever assembled because there
are now SO many more people here,
and how they each and every one en-
joyed it! The Palisade chicken pie
suppers are culinary barmonies, sort
of gastric feast without parallel
People who have been to similar re-
pasts elsewhere have invariably said
that there is only one chicken pfc kind
of supper-the Palisade variety. 1t
has something peculiar about it that
gives it individuality and distinction
as well. 1t stands out sort of re
lievo if you will.
Being cafeteria type this time, one
could order at will, and the bill of.
fered a variety in keeping with its
character. The piece de resistance
of course, was one chicken pie, and
next was the lemon martinique pies
These latter were something unique
The substance of their composition
was epicurean beauty, with poetic
crispness of pastry that left a sort OF
Renaissance of ones having eaten OF
the lightness of air with an aroma
The other fixings offered at this feast
were in keeping, so that one had q
full money-value and a lot more be

ming proved social triumph, re
union that everybody loves to engage
in when the woman's league gives
them the banter to come out, and they
appear in droves, for in the nearness
of one of these C. p. dinners, mere
home effects at eating take a back
seat. A snug sum was realized be

Dear Mr.. Cadien: have your COM
munication of the 18th inst. which
purpOrts to answer my letter to you
of the 9th inst Your letter is typically
evasive. Evidently you are continuing
to manufacture campaign utterances
instead of facing facts and fairly deal

with me that the election is not yet
over.
AS the beneficiary of an irregular
election it is natural for you to charge
victim of such an irregular cleo
ton with a spirit and motive which
1 do not entertain.
How you can say that there was an
expression of "the free will of the
people, when you yourself confessed
that the ballot was incomplete and
irregular, can only be explained by
the fact that you benefited by this

+ You Need q Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex.
tansively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Roo q
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large q

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony. of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Rex Beach, who has forsaken the

ut is a common enough thing for

"There's an English poet in our

The other day as I was lunching with
him the bell rang and the servant

"The English poet examined the

poration four scenarios last week, and
