POSTS WONDERFUL SERVICE

In the somewhat complicated Cliff
side Park election contest about to
wind itself to a close. there is one
spot on which the public mind should
focus itself with fullest power of
thought.
1t is the Tax Collectors office.
Herbert L. Post has been an officer
in this department Of the borough's
government positively without an
equal in the history of the munich
pality. This is not said as reflection
on his predecessors or his opponent in
the present race. Mr.. Post has de-
veloped form Of efficiency that every
taxpayer knows has been worth thou
sands of dollars in savings that, but for
his fine business acumen, would have
been a heavy loss to the taxpayers.
Finding the books in a state Of en-
tanglement, Mr.. Post put them in or
der, so that there were no strings
and tatters, but they were so per-
fected that on minutes notice the
borough's financial status can now be
shown to the most exacting expert.
Mr.. Post has spent untiring energy
in perfecting the system he has in
stalled and has worked night and
day to bring about this much needed
result. The job isn't worth great
deal of money, but Mr.. Post has made
many sacrifices in his own business
because his home is in Grantwood
where his heart dwells with his
family. SO his love for his home
town added to his unqualified talents
have led him into perfecting a system
that frees it from the taint of tangle
and disorder. There was never
time when so much could be shown
or known about Cliffside Parks tax
collecting system as now. Many have
marvelled at the dexterity shown by
Collector Post and have praised his
skill without stint or limit.
1t is a fine thought to realize that
the books are now free from COM
plexities and that they will remain so
as long as Mr.. Post is in Office. His
task has not been an easy one, but
he has now systematized it to point
where its value and efficiency are
duly reorganized.

THE FORT LEE RACE

The wind-up of the Fort Lee cam
paign finds the political situation
scarcely altered much from what it
presented at the beginning. The two
heads of the opposing tickets, Messrs
Edward A. White and Louis Hoebel,
Jr., have their lines out for all the
voters they can get, as is natural, and
both are active. Neither is making
the claim that he will sweep the other
out of his path. The campaign, in
fact, has been rather mild along most
of the trail
The two candidates are well known
Mayor White has been at the helm OF
the local government twelve years-a
long time. Two things have kept him
in Office, public confidence and ability.
Good politics, also, has played it's
part. For an Office that has no COM
pensation attached to it, these twelve
years must have been considerable of
a sacrifice to Mayor White. Now his
friends come along at the most i'm
portant moment in the history of the
borough and force him to run again.
The job of running for Mayor is no
play role. But-Mayor White in his
personal business in New York is
success, made so by his own efforts,
and the Fort Lee people appear to
want him as their leader at the enter
ing of the unprecedented era of pros
perity now just beginning and well
under way. Many big problems in
municipal steering will require
steady hand at the wheel. This much
is certain. IT the guiding head is not
absolutely sure of the course, it is
possible to encounter shoals.
On the other side, leading the Re-
publican ticket, stands young Louis
Hoebel, Jr, who, if elected might
appropriately be called the boy
Mayor" He expresses himself as full
OF confidence and is backed by the long
residence of his family in the borough
He feels that he is fully competent for
the position of Mayor and is out for
the job on a platform that must be
admired and considered. How far
outside influences may enter into this
race is not for discussion here. Many
things go in politics, though the
truest ideals of Americanism should
be considered always by all. The
Fort Lee race presents many interest
ing phases, none more so than the
good humour of the campaign. There
have been very few chickering's to the
credit of all concerned be it said.

A Republican Pamphlet

The Bergen County Republican
Committee have issued an attractive
pamphlet compiled and edited by Sec.
retary William S. Moore, which is be-
ing mailed to the voters of Bergen
county, regardless of their political
faith.
In addition to the records of the
candidates, it gives the issues Of the
campaign, the achievements of the
Republican Party in the State and

nation which the voters should know
before they cast their ballots.

STORMY FAIRvIEW

The borough of Fairview Is being

REV. LEACH TO LEAVE

Trinity Tidings," published by Rev.
Floyd S. Leach, rector of Trinity
(EpiscopaD parish, Grantwood, in its
issue of October 25 contains the fol
lowing valedictory:
at was two years ago that your rec
tor assumed his work here in Trinity
church. For him they have been filled
with a great deal of happiness. Your
rector and Mrs. Leach feel that they
have many very dear friends in the
parish and in leaving it have a very
deep sorrow. During these two years
We have worked together effectively
and joyfully. Much has been accom-
plished, and we had plans to make
this the best year yet. 1t Is our hope
that the new rector will pick things
up where we leave off and carry them
on to even greater success. We want
to thank the many who have been SO
good and kind and trust they will give
us the privilege of an occasional call
in our new home"
The news Of the resignation of Rev.
Leach was received with many sincere
regrets by his many friends and ad-
mirers of the Hilltop section. He has
been an active worker, an impressive
speaker. and loyal to his duties be-
yond the ordinary. His leaving Is a
distinct loss to the community of vii
lagos along the Palisades. 1t is to be
hoped that his lines will fall in pleas
ant places, and The Palisadian wishes
for him and his estimable wife every
form of happiness and success.
DR.. Leach has the faculty of preach
ing we'll on all occasions. He repre-
fsents much ripe scholarship and al
ways has something to say. He
breaches Christ and Him Crucified
most effectively and always with deep
reverence and feeling. He is pulpit
orator of rare accomplishments.

that season, white Price Glory" "'De-
sire Under the Elms," "The Fire
brand" and "The Guardsman." And
though it leaves "Abie's Irish Rose"
as usual in the centre of the stage,
one must be satisfied, for it had an
American author and yet broke all
records ut the Theatre Guild.

Without any intent to unduly
praise Herbert Posts form of service,
the thought comes that it is proper to
LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE.
Granting that his opponent is popu-
lar, has friends and all that, what
claim do these points have against a
man with letter perfect record who
has brought order out of chaos and
whose loyal service has been abso-
lutte? The question answers itself.

Big Jim Redmond in the first

Ted Lewis and his own revue and

MEAT FOR FOX
 FOOD NEW INDUSTRY

Captain Louis Lane, the well known explorer and big game hunt
 ed will engage in a new industry one which will be of great benefit
 to the fox farmers of this vicinity. and which will insure their supply of food for the present season. MT. Lane outftted a whaling boat in San Francisco, and left there re- gently for Southeastern Alaska. Tn letter written to Gus Borgen of Seward, he said: "I am rigging a small boat for the purpose of killing
 whales for the fox islands, as de scribed to you while in San Fran cisco. We are blaming to leave here soon. for your section of the country. Our outfit, while small. is very complete, and the two boys that l have with me are the most capable that I know of anywhere. l cannot tell how long it will talk. me to get up there, but We will make as much speed as possible taking into consideration weathe, conditions" MT. Lane goes on tc say: After many years of carefu study as to the habits and tastes Of the white foxes of the Arctic pack l am convinced that though he has changed his color by being transferred to the coast and islands of Southeastern Alaska he has not changed his tastes for the Arctic foods, such as seal and walrus car casses left by the polar bears, and preferably the carcasses of whales. Which are more or less plentiful throughout the northern region
 Fish as food is foreign to the white fox. Naturally salt fish is more so. This accounts for the dis satisfied mothers end small filters so noticeable to me throughout southeastern and southwestern AL aska, as compared to the white fox under original conditions in the Arctic. As you doubtless know, the Arctic female averages about seven pups per litter, compared with the island foxes who do not averag over five and sometimes not as many. A contented mother brings forth the largest litter. Whale meat does it. A properly fed fox produces the. best fur, and whale meat does it. The best fur bring the highest price, and that is of course what you want. This company will deliver whale cas- casses to you, starting July 1, at the low cost of $500 to $500 per whale, depending upon distance necessary to tow carcass. A whale will average about one ton per run ming foot. Payments in furs or cash satisfactory, and will gladly purrhase any other furs you have on hand, or you can make payment with live foxes."

JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY AND ELIZABETH KAHLE

CENDING a "tintype' of himself to o Elizabeth Kahle James Whitcomb Riley Americas beloved poet, accom- panied it with the following lines: I send you a shadow ghost of face, To haunt you forever with eyes. ThatAlook in your own with the ten
 derest grace
 Affectionate art can devise. And had they the power to sparkle and
 speak
 In the language Of smiles and tears, The rainbow of love would illumine the
 cheek,
 And bantsh the gloom that appears. The heart correspondence between Riley and Miss Kahle lasted five years, two of which were passed without theli having seen each other. The end came when Miss kahle became Mrs. Brunn and thought it improper to continue the correspondence. The actual facts of :he romance are little known as yet and one can only guess at the story underlying Riley's love letters. From Greenfield in August 23, 1879, Riley wrote MISS kdllle.
 Your letter is so kind-so very kind and good that I must write at once 10 thank you for it and grab your two warm hands close in my own and wiring them fervently. Only you must not be concerned about my health or welfare-anything- I don't de- serve such interest from anyone so good as you. l do smile though when you say T want to ask like l do of children when they cry, what is the matter? Tell mel
 "Surely, If you feel like that, and indeed you comprehend me just as l ana little helpless child who would thank God with all his boyish heart fl you just would-now. this minute put your hands over my eyes and say, Now, you must sleep. only-ony-1 want to be strong enough to bear my burden and your dear words make me weak. You don't know-you can't know-what weight it is and how heavier 1t grows each weary step take.
 Forgive me, but you mustn't be so good to me- because I want you to be happy-not like me who cannot even lift my empty hands at times and ask Gods help. You make me want to call you little girl You make me want to come to you, creeping on my face and hands, to get away from all the world and rest--rest.
 After Riley's death Mrs. Brunn be- came addicted to spiritualism and sought and btained-through the kind ness of mediums spirit messages from the poet One of these messages was ob tained in 1921, produced by medium in pencil. in Riley's autograph. Here 1t Is:
 With the selfsame sunlight upon us. am writing dear love. somewhere He you would honor. he that you wsf
 for.
 Thy king. thy loved one, "ove'
 there"
 It seems an insult to the memory Q a genius to associate such verse a' the above with his name, even thousl the association Is made in private. Int doegerel, however. has the merit of be ing up-to.date. for note the popular war phrass, lover there"

widespread interest as has THE
Merry Widow" the Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer production at the Capitol
theatcr today and Wednesday,. But
is was inevitable with such a signi-

and cast. The title suggests piCtur-
esque romance, and in the hands of
the gifted director, Erich Won Stro-
helm ideally suited to stage such a
thing, the production has exceeded
the fondest expectations held for it..
The Keith Albce vaudeville pro-
gram has a good array OF talent and
is headed by the Five Harmoniacs
in novelty musical offering. Wal
lace and Cappo are exceptional
dancers; Davis and Mccoy excel in
comedy; and "Wives vs.. Stenograph-

much mirth.

PAT ROONEY TAKES
PARSONS BY STORM
Daughter Of Rosie" O'Grady
Top Notch Dancing Show


In the history OF aPrsons' theater.
Hartford. few entertainers have
been accorded Q. warmer reception
than that rendered Pat Rooney last
night when he began a weeks en-
gagement in THE Daughter of Rosie
OGrady." Rooney simply took the
city by storm. There is no other
way OF expressing It. From curtain
TO curtain a large first night audience
spent Its time rocking with laughter
and applauding the efforts of Roo
ney and his company of 60 singers
and dancers.
The Daughter OF Rosie O'Grady"
Is essentially q dancing show with a
thread OF Irish romance woven
through the plot. Pat himself Is a
marvel but he isn't alone. Marion
Brent, who In private life is Mrs.
Rooney and young Pat contribute
largely to the success OF the COM
edy. And the star on the female
side of the house Is dainty Helen
O'Shea, rs light on her toes as a
sunbeam dancing through bed Of
shamrocks and as sweet In personal
ity as the most charming colleen that
ever smiled at New York police
man.
1t must be in the Rooney blood,
this dancing. Pat has surrounded
himself with as nimble a cast as ever
graced the footlights. They must all
be Bird cousins of his. There Is so
much dancing talent In the show
that It bulges out at the sides. To
mention a few, there are 81 Lyman
and Helen King, Vivienne Glenn.
Rose Kessner, Muriel Stryker, Anita
Nieto and Rondeline Smirnow. In
addition to the dancing, there is
singing by Martha Waugh, Frank
Corbett and others.
Members of the cast include Ida
Kane, Frank Gardiner, Judd Rees,
Gerald Smoke, Ed. Kay, Elsie Brooks
and Rex Adams.
The scenery Is novel and attrac-
tive. The music, furnished by the
company's orchestra, Is catchy and
sweet.
If you enjoy good dancing and
good music, more good dancing and
more good music, and then some
more good dancing and good music
thrown in for good measure. go to
see THE Daughter Of Rosie
O'Grady." See it If you have to
swim, If you have to walk to Hart
ford. And If you get to Hartford
force your way into Parsons, if you
have to watch the show while
hanging from the chandelier, II there
is a chandelier.
