AKRON, %, April 14-Thret
great American minds are about to
engage Great Britain in a trade war
in an effort to save millions Of dol
lars yearly TO those affected by the
high prices of rubber.
They are Henry Ford, Harvey s.
Firestoue and Thomas y. Edison.
Two years ago Firestone, promi-
nent tire manufacturer, suggested
that America should produce its
own rubber in retaliation for the
British crude rubber restriction act,
which curtailed produc ton ex-
portation of rawf product.
This suggestion now has become n
warning, because Of the furthering
Of the restriction act by Great Bri-
tain.
Aud 10 this end Ford, Fircstonc
and Edison are Bending their cf-
forts to produce rubber in this
country on large laiid holdings in
Florida. 4 g.

POST NOT AT FAULT
ON LATE PAY CHECKS
Democratic Newspapers Make
Political Capital of TrifIing
Incident.

The teachers of the Cliffside Park
schools received their checks this
month on Wednesday morning, Sep
tember 16, instead of September Is,
as has been the custom in the past.
This was due to the great amount of
work on hand in the executive Of
fees of the high school on account of
sible to get the checks to the collec-
tor as early as usual 1t was due to
no fault of Mr.. Post
Both Hudson County Democratic
dailies, the Hudson Dispatch in par
ticular, in an attempt to make politi-
cal capital out of the situation, stated
that Collector Post was at fault. The
Hudson Dispatch story suggested that
Collector Post was too busy attending
to his personal affairs and some other
tommyrot about the teachers being
placed in uncomfortable positions.
The significant paragraph that ex-
plains the article was:
Meanwhile, fac-'lty members JOSH
ed William R. SDerling, one of their
lot seeking the collectorship on the
Democratic ticket, promising to cast
their ballots in his favor if he were
not negligent in fulfilling his duty
upon assuming Office"
The truth of the matter is that the
checks were delivered to Mr.. Post on
Monday night when he was busily en-
gagged at the council meeting. The
Palisadian learned from good authori-
ty that he wasn't at fault and the
teachers, at least those the represen-
tative saw, were not deeply con-
cerned about the few hours delay
Palisadian., 1925-09-18

act of like character might be, when
an error is discovered, the first thing
any right thinking man would do
would be to make all due apologies and
immediate reparation to those con-
cerned. The Palisadian is not con-
cerned in any apology Mr.. Matteson
might feel called upon to make for his
action. But The Palisadian does feel
that an abject apology is due from Mr..
Matteson to each of the subscribers
who were denied the right to get what
they paid for. And moreover, The Pali-
sadian will say that if it has not oc-
Cured to Mr. Matteson to offer his re-
grets to those whom he disappointed,
the columns of the paper are still open
to him. The whole thing was so un-
necessary, as well as unusual, that it
accentuates itself on that account.
There are still six of the subscribers
who have not asked to be reinstated
through Postmaster Matteson's jack
ing up their papers because he thought
he had discovered a mares nest, and
the paper is out twelve dollars. Will
he venture to make that good? Mr..
Matteson asked The Palisadian for a
list of the subscribers whose papers he
held on his "S cents due idea,
presumably for the purpose of refund
ing the cents to those who paid it.
He was told that it would take time td
prepare such a list and that the
charge would be 60 cents per hour He
hasn't said he would pay it. He once
charged this newspaper 60 cents an
hour for similar service. If it was
just officiousness that actuated Post
master Matteson that might explain
his action.

Clifside Republican
Club Holds Rally

Cliffside Park Republican Club re-
turned the opening fire of the Demo
Gratis on Wednesday night at the Bor-
ough Hall, Cliffside, at the resump,
tion of the meetings after the sum-
mer vacation.
Fully seventy-five members were
present when Joseph w. Marini, can
didate for reelection as mayor, ad-
dressed the audience. Marini spoke
on the plishments in the bor-
ough during his administration, in
cluding the present fire equipment
road department, streets already i'm
proved and others under construc-
tion and other improvements complet-
ed in the borough during the present
administration. In closing, Marini
asked the club for it's support of the
ticket from the top down to the bot
tom.
Councilman Joseph c. Woodcock,
seeking reelection, and his running
mate, J. Olsen, also spoke of their
candidacy for the coming election and
asked the club to support the entire
Republican ticket on Election day.
Tax Collector Herbert L. Post, who
is seeking reelection, also addressed
the club, telling of the condition the
tax office was in at the time he took
charge and of his accomplishments
since that time.
The result of the election of of
ficers for the coming year follows
President, j. Fred Thompson; vice
president, Nicholas Schweitzer; treas
urer, Charles Rittenger; secretary,

Many of the club members took an
active part at the meeting. Mr.
Ruby, of Edgewater Heights, spoke
glowingly of Marini, candidate for
reelection, stating ON the develop
ments in the borough noticed by him
as a taxpayer.
Another speaker at the meeting was
Councilman John Macdonald, who
made an earnest plea for the club to
get out and work for the Republican
ticket. Referring to the local candi-
dates, Macdonald said: "You know
what you've got, but you don't know
what you are going to get, so leave
we'll enough alone, and as Mayor Ma
rini, Councilman Woodcock, and Col
lector Post have served the borough
faithfully, as is evident by the prog
ress in the improvement of the bor-
ough, elect them again"

POSTMASTER MATTES0N BARKS UP THE WRONG Tree
in Papers IL -Grantwo the

Postmaster Matteson of Grantwood,
who last week stopped large list of
Palisadian subscribers from getting
their papers at the regular time, has
found out his mistake. He came to the
office of the paper at Palisade juno
tion to pay back the money and to ac-
knowledge his error. That he was
barking up the wrong tree was all
along suspected, but the following let
ter from the Third Assistant Post
master General sets the whole matter
right, including Postmaster Matteson:
September II, 1925.

Mr.. Sibley's letter to the Board fol-
lows:
Board of Education,
Cliffside Park, New Jersey.
Dear Sirs and Madam:
After studying carefully all phases
of the Clffiside Park School situation,
i desire to withdraw my plans at this
time and to request the Board of Edu-
cation not to consider me further as
architect for any part of the proposed
school building program.
Respectfully yours,
ERNEST SIBLEY.
The meeting opened with the re.
port of the committee of the whole
at which Mr.. Sibley's plans were con-
sidered. President Goemann in max
ing the report stated the views of
the minority on the question and
Trustee Kenny objected saying he was
out of order as chairman giving a
minority report. Mr.. Goemann said it
was proper enough but asked Mrs.
Banville, vice President, to take the
chair while he continued.
He said he had taken no part in
the Boards action resembling Sibley's
appointment and roundly denounced
the action. He charged the majority's s
action as being responsible for Mr..
Sibley's withdrawal. During the heat
ed discussion Mr.. Goemann became
angry and left the room. He returned
later and took the chair again.
Trustee Gebhardt talked at length
and branded the Boards action as
Outrageous"
President Goemann suggested that
they have an American Institute COM
petition in which Mr. Sibley could
esm pete.
Architect William Mayer put in a
word at this time voicing his disap-
proval of an Institute competition.
The matter was ended with the ac-
cepting of the report of the Committee
and an adjourned meeting was called
for Friday night Sept 25, at which
the plans of both Ralph Hacker and
VIM. Mayer will be considered.
A majority of five members appoint
ed VIM. Kelly as Truant Officer at n
salary of $1,000 per year to succeed
Daniel Mulhern. Kelly was one of
five applicants.
