PAYING TO ADVERTISE.
The question as to whether and what it pays to advertise ia one that has been much discuased, and answered in many different waya.
Our idea is that if you advertise for anything that people have, or to sell anything that people want, you will get results. That is, people read the advertisement, and it dependa with the advertiser as to what the result mav be.
C. 0. Niles, who broke his leg last week, as announced in the Review in our last isaue, asked us to insert an advertisement for him for a pair of crutches wanted. He said he did not suppose tbere w-ould be many answers, and he Wanted to be sure to get a pair when he needed them, aa he expected to have to get around in that way for several weeks, but he tells us that in¬ side of a half hour afler the paper was delivered, two people had tele¬ phoned him offering to let him have crutches they had uaed, and within two days he had had 11 replies.

VILLAGE GRADES.
We hear considerable about the var ious grades on our village atreeta and sidewalks, and incidentally most of the blame is laid on the Village engineers, Sinith & Malcomson.
This is not as it should be. I would not say that these gentlemen are aiways correct in their grades, and that they never tnakf mistakes, f(jr it they did not they would be much lietter than most of us, but I do say that they are not to blame for a large part of the variations in grade on the vil'age streeta.
They are under the instruction of the Village Board, which changes each year to a great extent, ancl have to take their orders from that body.
An instance of this happened at a recent meeting of the Village Board when Mr. Greve complained of the grade for hia aidewalk on Miller Ave., which is 6 inches lower than the high¬ way adjoining. Mr. Greve put this walk dewn to the grade furnished by Sniith & Malcomson and then appeared before the Village Board asking for relief, as waa proper. When Mr. Malcomaon was asked about this he quickly explained, and it is easily proved by the village grade map!", that when Peekskill gravel was put down on that street it was put down without any regard to the estaidished grade, and is consequently entirely too high for the sidewalk, and that much higher than was planned by the Village En¬ gineers.
Then again, many walks were put down before the village authorities ea¬ tablished any uniform grades for Vil¬ lage streets, and those necessarily varied according to existing toiiograph- ical conditions, and now when walks are laid in conformity with a grade since established, the old walks must be changed in many instances or a slant made from one wa'k to another in order to make the walks uniform to a liroper degree.
The editor holds no brief for Smith & Malcomson, but does insist that they are blamed for many things over which they have no responsibility, and on which they naturally have to taKe their instructions from the village board. Mr. Malcomson cited a case of thia kind, at a recent meeting of the board, where a prominent citizen of the village asked for a change in the grade, and had the influence to secure it, and after appeared before the board and asked that they raise his sidewalk for him to conform with the grade es¬ tablished when the road waa fixed in front of hia house.
It is, as we all know, an easy mat¬ ter to find fault, and that is why I am taking the space to show that much of this criticism ia unwarranted.

WILL HOLD MY MONEY Last week I received a copy of a weekly "bulletin" from Albany urg¬ ing contributions for its legislative work. The aame paper praisea a magazine or newspaper publiahed out weat which make a speciality of assail¬ ing a great religious organization and calla it, "one of the most fervent pa¬ triotic publications of the country." If their opinion on affairs at Albany, where they are working, is aa good as their opinion of the paper they refer to, many ot as who have aeen copies of the paper will prefer to spend cur money in other waya than to truat the iudgment of the editor of that bulletin. This same weekly bulletin so far forgot ita place in the last election! aa to lend ita influence to defeat men right on Long Island whom its editor knew and admitted were best qualified for the job.
If this weekly bulletin and its editor stick to their proper purpose of op¬ posing bad bills and bad legialation, well and good, but when they under¬ take to mix in religion or politica they have an unhappy faculty of putting their foot in it when they open their mouth.
BIG IMPROVEMENT I am surely glad, as will be every commuter in the village, (of whom I am not one, incidentally), that the Vil¬ lage Board of Trustees has decided to build a atorage station at the Power House, ao that the Park can be cleared up. A more disreputable looking park as an entrance to a village could hard¬ ly be imagined, littered with s,.uff! that has been laying around, some of it, since tbe plant was established 16 , yeara ago, judging by the general ap¬ pearance of the park. This improve¬ ment will be a step in the right direc¬ tion.
