NO AGE LIMIT

When DR.. Osler some decades ago
advanced the theory that sixty ought
to be mans age limit, there was a
howl of disapproval from all those who
had passed beyond or were approach
ing three-score. The learned medicus
was roundly scored. Shortly there
after he shook the American sand off
his feet and hied him to merry Eng
land, there to continue to be the out
standing argument against his own
theory.
Now comes one John Bray from Bos-
ton and enters a swimming contest in
which he bests all his competitors.
Brays feat consisted in swimming fif-
teen miles in the open ocean and
coming in first. And Bray is only
sixty years old. Last April, another
New Englander, of only seventy years,
entered a twenty-five mile marathon
race and finished among the leaders.
De Pachman, at Seventy-five, coming

Age is coming into it's own at last.
And why not? 1t is not years that
count, it is the spirit of life as it finds
expression in individual existence.

SO are hundreds of lesser lights. Keep

cially adjustable-that seems to be
part of the secret that prompts man to
ignore the age limit. Perhaps Brown
ing was right when he advised:
."Grow old along with me, the best is

tial voters of the borough should an

ancient history What the people of
Fort Lee will do in the present in

the politicians are going to fight COM

sonally concerned he is not so much
interested in being Mayor, according
to what he says, as in trying to give
the Borough better government. Any

1t would make an interesting situation
for 20 or 80 various candidates to an
nounce themselves for Commissioner
in case the matter finally comes to a
vote. 1t would also be a novelty if
three women should lead, as they
could do if they could get the votes.
What women would do in the manage

lematical. The chances do not favor
their being able to get control of mu-
nicipal affairs under this system. IT,
however, three good, sound and sub
stantial voters of the Borough should
announce themselves for commission
government and stand for one of the
offices, being three all told, it would
make an interesting problem for the
voters to solve. Since the politicians
would fight commission, or in the

CONTEST ON IN FORT LEE

Quite a bit of interest attaches to
the coming election in the Borough
of Fort Lee for mayor and council
men. Mr.. Samuel j. Corker, the Re-
publican nominee for mayor, well
known resident and native of the
borough, has come forward with an
announcement that might mean a
whole lot to the taxpayeds. He pro
poses to make commission govern
ment an issue and presents in this is
sue of The Palisadi3n a full page adj
vertisement setting forth his views
on this particular matter 1t will be
recalled that six years ago, when Ed
ward A. White, the present Democrat
ic nominee for mayor, was running
against Samuel J. Corker, he came
out himself in favor of commission
government at the last moment and
carried the election by about 23
votes, which means that IL votes
would have changed the result in ia
vor of Corker However, that is an
cient history. What the people of
Fort Lee will do in the present in
stance of putting commission in as an
issue remains to be seen. OF course
the politicians are going to fight com
mission and fight it hard. They al
ways do. But after the most careful
research and investigation into the
real meaning of commission govern

fully convinced that it would be by
far the best thing that Fort Lee ever
did if it would adopt this plan. The
very essence of commission itself for
bids partisan politics, or any politics
of any kind for that matter, in the
conduct of the system. The Palisa-
dian stands for fair play to all, and
outside of the fact that it has no spe-
cial liking for the professional poll
tician, at the same time it has no
animus against any man who chooses
to stand for office. Whatever is made
out of Mr.. Corker's page announce
ment must stand for itself. So far
as he is personally concerned, he is
not so much interested in being may

the present law of the land any wo-
man can also. 1t would make an in

POLITICS
WATER SHORTAGE
THE SEWER PROBLEM
JUNCTION IMPROVED

BY far the most important political
announcement so far in any local cam
paign is that which Mr. Corker, Re
publican candidate for Mayor of Fort
Lee, makes in this issue. Mr.. Corker
has presented to the people of the
borough an argument that has great
appeal and he offers something really
constructive that should provide food
for thought for those interested in the
progress of the community. Mr.. Cork
er's appeal is we'll worth reading and
contains much that is valuable for the
general information Of citizens.
The water shortage has not as yet
caused any great concern to house
holders but now is the time to take
precaution against the waste oftwater
so the predicted "shut off" will not be
necessary. 1t is an easy matter to save
water and if you will give it some
thought you will find dozen different
ways in the course of day to do
your bit" Don't say to yourself, "Oh,
that little bit of water won't matter"
Maybe that little bit wouldn't but your
little bit" added to the other little
bits" do. Try and remember to be
careful.
1t does seem that when two bor-
oughs like Fort Lee and Cliffside Park
need a suitable sewer system so badly
and it is possible for one to help the
other it is only proper that they should
do so. The failure to come to some
agreement seems to be caused by Fort
Lee representatives stating they have
no money. Certainly there is some
way to raise money for the construc-
tion of anything so necessary as a
sewer on which the health of people
is dependent. Another conference be-
tween the officials of the two boroughs,
while it might not do any good, GER
tainly would not do any harm and a
way might be found. Competition is
the life of business but cooperation is
the business of life. Neighboring bor-
oughs-co-operate.
