CUT THE FOOLISH TALK
ABOUT KNOWING HOW
ANYONE HAS VOTED
People Who Insist They Know
These Things Are Rejecting
Upon the Sacredness of the
Same as 1t Exists.

Few people understand what a New
Jersey election really means. They
have not taken any more trouble to
learn the truth about how elections
are managed than they have develop
ed an interest in the duty of voting.
A local voter the other day (and
doubtless others take the same view
said it was known that certain people
left the impression for effect that
they had voted one way when as a
matter of fact they voted another.
I'VE know them every one and have
their Names" was added.
The wonder is what the voter is
going to do with them, because, as a
matter of fact what was said was pure
fiction, because no one, not even the
election officers know how or for
whom the ballots are cast. But for
the public's information The Palisa-
dian interviewed a member of bor-
ough election precinct board and
asked him series of questions this
week about as follows:
rs it true that you know how peo,
pie voted the other day." he was
asked.
Know what?" he replied hurriedly.
do You know how anybody or
everybody voted the other day."
"Well, | should say mott" he an
swered and with much emphasis.
What put that into your head?' he
asked
Only that certain people about the
village are boasting that they knew
how everyone of them voted, and
furthermore that we have their
names Now | have always thought
that it was impossible under the pres
ent system for anyone to know how
voted"
You are right, The law says a
ballot must be handed the voter who
must go into a closed booth and there
put cross mark before the names
of those he is entitled to vote for.
it into the booth and he must in turn
hand it to the member of the board
settled upon for that purpose. The
board, having the names of each voter
on list at once checks him or her
off as having voted, and deposits the
vote in the election box. The num-
ber of the ballot is placed opposite
the voters name on the election list,
but the number is not put on the
ballot when the ballot is put in the
box folded by the voter in the booth.
When the ballots are counted by the
election board, each one being with
out number. how is even member
of the board going to know how each
person voted? That gets me. The
fact that a mans vote was given a
certain number on the voting list is
no evidence that mis- vote is known
to soul on earth. might vote No. 20,
but as the number is not put on the
ballot when it is voted, who is to
know how anyone voted? The charge
that anyone knows these things is alb
Surd--ridipulOuS in fact "

u. c. T. Rally at
Newark on Dec. E

The most interesting event during
the next month will be the U. C. T.
rally at Newark on December 6.
This rally is yearly affair and is
attended by representatives of coun-
ellis from all through New Jersey and
Delaware. Travelling men from all
over the country who happen to be
in the vicinity on the night of the rally
attend. All in all, the U. C. T. rally
is a representative gathering of every
state in the Union.
Cliff Council No. 523. the local coun-
ell of the U. c. T., is looked upon as
one of the lively chapters in the order
and for that reason Cliff Council has
been selected to furnish the music and
lead the singing. This will be done
under the direction of our own Charlie
Leeger
Another feature is the contest for
new members to be initiated at this
rally. Cliff Council will be well up
near the top with six candidates as
we go to press.
December is the date that will be
uppermost in the minds of all U. c. T.
members.

Local Post of the
American Legion
Plan Good Work

At recent meeting of the Julius
Zanetti Post of the American Legion
a discussion arose as to what was
the purpose of the American Legion.
1t developed from the discussion
that the purpose was to inspire pa
triotism and to help the community
and country in material way.
The Legion has planned to teach
tennis to the youth of the town next
season. Tennis is a popular game in
Palisade due to the efforts of the local
American Legion Post, which con
ducts the courts here on "a noprofit
scale.
The Legion also decided to arrange
for lectures in the public schools. and
on dental hygiene, to be illustrated
with motion pictures.
The combined Posts of Bergen
county recently presented motion

State Senator William B. Mackay
was the principal speaker at the din
ner of the Bergenfield Chamber of
Commerce held on Wednesday night
in Bergenfield, and he told some very
interesting things about the possibility
of building the bridge across the Hud-
son which are of great interest to all
the people in this section.
Senator Mackay spoke very highly
OF the women of the district and main
tanned that women are necessary to
encourage men to do greater things"
In speaking of the Transit Commits
son he said in part: my aim is to at
tain further funds and means to con-
tinue the work of the Transit Commits
sion in the future
Continuing, he said: New Jersey
has always been willing to go through
with the bridge project across the
Hudson, but New York has been
little too reluctant to start their share
in the plan.
Everyone knows that the people of
northern New Jersey are in favor of
the bridge movement, but it is very
doubtful if the residents of southern
Jersey would vote for the movement,
as an appropriation of more than 500,
0G0 by the Legislature makes it neces-
sary for the question to come up for
the public vote. 1t is not necessary to
ask the voters of the state to go to
any extra expense, as it is declared
that the Port Authority of New York
could manage the project and collect
tolls until the bridge was paid for
In speaking of the Chamber of Com
merce he said: II take off my hat to
the people of Bergenfield, for they
have been on the job and wide awake
for the bridge project longer than any
other community in the county.
think with the coming of the bridge
Bergen county will build bigger, finer
and better, and maintain that the day
of the bridge is not remote"
George Beckmann of Palisade was
present at the dinner as representa-
tive of the Bridge Committee of the
Grantwood- -Palisade Real Estate Board.
and, commenting on Senator Mackay's
remarks. he said to newspaper re-
porter on Thursday: Senator Mackay
told us a number of things that were
not known before, and he, too, ap-
realed for the public's support of the
project. This seems to be the all i'm
portant point-public support-and
large organization is necessary to gain
i; in a systematic way. That is what
| am striving to effect now and soon
will have some information that will
be truly important. | agree with the
Senator that the bridge is not as re-
mote as some think. and the next few
months will bring 1t closer to realiza-
ton than it has ever been"

CLIFFSIDE PARK SCHOOL
BOARD IN LONG SESSION
Discuss a Number of Matters
and Hear Superintendent's Re-
port; Hope to Improve
Athletic Field.

routine meeting Of the School
Board of Cliffside Park was held on
Thursday evening of last week in
the High School building.
A break in a water main on election
day seriously damaged the gym, and
this matter was brought to the atten.
ton of the board. 1t was referred to
the Building and Grounds Committee
and they will get in touch with the
water company to determine who is
liable.
The superintendent report show
registered in the local schools up to
October 81.
1t was reported that the newly or.
5 nized Americanization class under
the leadership of Mrs. Clara A. War.
ren and Rev. GoZzo now has 46 mem.
bers.
Both Mr.. Velsey and Mr.. Banville
heartily endorsed the idea of improv.
ing the athletic field and urged that
immediate action be taken. The con
dition of the high school field for
some months has been so bad that
the Athletic Association found it nee
essary to rent Fletcher Field for the
home games of the football team. II
was believed that the surplus funds
remaining from the present appro-
priation for the purchase of grounds
might be used for their improvement
and the board requested the Building
and Grounds Committee to obtain an
opinion from State Commissioner En-
right on this point and report at the
next meeting.

The Bergen Evening Record gives
Borrelli credit as the star of last
Saturdays game. OF him it said:
Captain Frank Borrelli played a
wonderful game and proved a terror
on the offensive. He ripped off sew
eral long runs of forty or more yards
besides his countless number of line
plunges, which netted gains of from
five to twenty yards. Whenever a
yard or two were needed for a first
down, "Beany" was given the ball,
which showed that the quarterback
knew his players, for the stocky
Cliffside fullback and captain, almost
always came through with the neces-
sary yardage."
In the last half of the game on a
trick play, Doyle ran around to the
backfield and grabbed the ball out
of Borrelli's waiting hands, and aided
by perfect interference, skirted left
end for 65 yards and touchdown.
Yost missed kick.
Just before the game terminated,
Borrelli intercepted pass and
lodged with rare skill through half
the Passaic team for fifty yards and
for the extra point.
Dette, Richardson and Moncher
starred for Passaic Borrelli, Yost,
Doyle, Loretto and Stannek were the
outstanding players on the Cliffside
team.

z|EGFELD BEAUTY At

rol in the successful and widely ae-
claimed musical comedy, sally" AS
to its infinite charm and luxurious
embellishments, adjectives of praise
have everywhere been exhausted by
reviewers. To have retained almost
intact for three years an original
company, including Walter Catlett,
in association with the inimitable COM
edy star, Enrol, is a managerial
achievement that testifies to Zieg-
fields sagacity in the building of a
sensational success quite unparalleled
in a keenly competitive era of must
cal comedy. 1t is generally acknowl-
edged that Sally" is in a class in by
itself.
As this is the red letter comedy
event of the season, early applica-
tions are suggested. Procrastination
win spell disappointment. Of much
significance is the Importance of this
notable musical offering. Not only
is it the only sally company, but
the first of the famous Ziegfield
beauty shows to make the across con-
tinent tour in many years. Local
theatre-goers have waited long the op-
portunity to see sally" whose fame
long since reached this city.

JOKER IN LABOR BILL
AROUSES UNIONISTS

ALBANY, N. Y, April 17.-Organ-
lied labor and other advocates of COM
pensation to injured workers who have
raised a statewide alarm over the
joker in an amendment to this act.
The amendment is favored by en-
ployers, who propose that compensa-
ton be paid workers who are victims
of silicosis. This is a deadly lung
disease, prevalent in certain dusty
trades and often leading to tubercu-
losis. It is distinctly occupational in
origin and annually destroys large
numbers of wage workers. An amend
ment to the compensation bill pro-
vides compensation for silicosis ac-
quired in any occupation exposed to
silicosis dust.
The employers amendment would
refer these cases to a board of physi-
clans whose decision shall be final. To
secure compensation a worker would
have to be continuously employed for
five years in an industry exposed to
silieosis.
In arousing organized labor to the
danger of this proposal, trade union
lists declare that the medical board
provision lis obviously a joker in
tended to tie up the administration of
the law"
As an alternative, labor suggests
the state compensation commission
appoint a referee who is a lung spec
ialist to act on silicosis claims. This
is the practice at present.

SPOKANE BUSINESSMEN
WILL FINANCE TEMPLE
With Assistance Of Business People
Temple Is Assured.

Sixty bankers and business men
gathered a the Davenport hotel at the
invitation of the trustees of the Spo-
kane Labor Temple association last
week and listened to the plans pre-
sented for the erection of a labor tenn
pie in the Inland city.
Carl Evans, president of the assoc
iation and president of the Central
Labor council addressed the meeting
and urged the cooperation of the bus
mess men of the city to make the
building a reality.
A. W. johnson, a member of the
trustees and vice-president of the state
federation of labor, explained in de-
tail the plans for the building, total
floor space and expenses and income
from same.
Every expression on the part of the
business men was in favor of the
undertaking and pledged their support
financially. R. L. Rutter, president
of the Spokane & Eastern bank, stated
that he would subscribe right off the
bat for a thousand-dollar bond.
The proposal submitted to the meet.
ing was that the money be raised
through the sale of preferred stock
Before adjournment, however, by mo,
ton it was recommended to the joint
committee that a bond issue would
be preferable from every standpoint
A joint committee consisting OF
members Of the Chamber of Commere,
and trustees of the Labor Tempt,
association have been appointed t,
handle the project.
1t seems certain that the labor TEN
pie viii be built. The business mel
pledged themselves to subscribe t,
100000 in bonds.
The building as planned will pro
vide Is meeting halls and space 70
16 secretaries and business repre-
sentatives. Parking space for 80 car
will be provided for in the rear o
the building. The income on tn
building is figured at $24,12O,O0 pc
year, which is adequate to take car
of expenses and retirement of tn
bonds.
