PUBLIC HEALTH.
The Sanitary Code o£ New Vork State, like that of many other States and cities, prohibits "the use of com¬ mon drinking cups and of common drinking or eating utensils in any public place or public institution or in any hotel, saloon, lodging house, theatre, factory, school or public hall, or in any railway or trolley car or ferryboat, or In any railway or trol¬ ley station or ferryhouse, or the fur¬ nishing of any such common drinking oup or drinking or eating utensil for common use in any such place."
It should be remembered, too, that it is not only In public places that the exchange of bacteria from oue mouth to another is a dangerous practice. If there happens to be an unsuspected wuTler about the common drinking •up may do its deadly work even In y«ur own family.
There are various ways by wblch the danger of the common drinking •up may be avoided. In public places knbble fountains are often used, and theae are excellent if the pressure Is safflcient so that the lips do not touch the nozzle In drinking. Individual paper cups offer one of the best ways •f solving this problem.
The Nassaa Post advocates the erection of a Municipal BaiUiag and Aaditorinm.
advocates ardentiy the porchate o motor tractors for all fire apparatat. 't urges the installation of an electric alarm syitepi and the centralization ot fire apparatus. It advocates the immediate appropriation of |5,000 to be expended for publicity iu securing the establishment of manufacturing indoatries for Freeport

•IMPEACHMENTS OOOD THING."
IS IT NOT CONSCRIPTORY?
General Leonard Wood has pro¬ posed as a solution of the industrial and military problems In the United States the enlistment of the unem- : ployed as reservlets In the United ; States ATm/. By establishing traln- i ing camps in the vicinity of the large aitles, where the unemployed congre- cate, he believes a million reservists •an be added without withdrawing labor from Industry, while glrlng the ' men three months' training, together ' with their board and alx dollars a nonth, or twenty centa a day. This is aot for tramps, the general explains, ' but for the honest seekers after work. A happy solution, indeed! Deprive • men pf the opportunity to gain a Ht- I ing, and then open the opportunity to ' be shot. Aside from the fact that it I applies to only one class, how does thla differ from conscription?
BEGGAR SOLDLBRS?
We hear considerable about pre¬ paredness these days. A large army, hig guos and great dreadnaughts. But we hear Ilttle about that Important part—a patriotic citizenry well grounded in the soil.
In the alleys of our great cities, in •ur Lowells, Patersons and Home¬ steads we are creating armies of sa- kotage. What stake in tbe country have have these restless hordes, who fill the miles of rented shacks and ioll In factories at seventeen and a kalt centa per hour while high flnance steals the profits?
' Such an Inversion of Justice gives Immediate birtb to strange creeds of hate which soon develop into mental and physical beggary that end In or¬ ganised disorder. Regiments of prow¬ ess and patriotism are not to be re- orulted from these. Beggars behind the guns are dead ones and malcon¬ tents are enemies.
AGAINST NEW TAXES,
Pfeeident Wilson ia quoted as be¬ ing opposed to the levying ot any fld- dltional federal taxea. So are we. His administration haa given us the in- OMoe tax and the war revenue tax, whloh Is not a war tax at all, but a tax levied, when this country was at peace with all the world, to make food a deficiency in reventie resulting from his tree trade tarlft even when supplemented hy the Inequitable In- ODSne tax. Two additional taxes are •bout enough for one administration to add to the common load. With a
Mr. Root's recent assertions tbat there should be more Impeachments of publlc officers seemed at flrat blush sUrtllng. The people of thli^ State haven't yet got the bad taste of the Sulzer Impeachment out of their their mouths. However, Mr. Root's reasoning is sound and his proposal Is likely to have the approval of vot¬ era, Just aa it has the approval of the Constitutional Convention.
Whether there are more Impeach- mente or not, It can do no barm, and may do a great deal of good, to have the possibility of such proceedings hang over tbe heada of public officials. Present impeachment methods are antiquated and cumbersome. Mr. Root would have them simplified. This should be done not only in State governments but In the national gov¬ ernment.

Speaking to 10,000 people at the merchants' and farmers' celebration In Glens Falls, Governor Whitman said:
"Never In our history are our peo¬ ple demanding of thoae whom they elevate to public offlce, higher stand¬ ards, not of ability or official per¬ formance alone, but of personal in¬ tegrity and character as well."

Qs:
Chairman Osborne's plea for tlie election of a Democratic Asaembly thLs fall is likely to fall on deaf ears. It is only two years ago that the voters rallied in force to take the con¬ trol of the Assembly away from the Democrats and the memory of the scandals attaching to the Democratic Assembly of 1913 is too fresh in the minds of the voters to permit them to be beguiled by Democratic prom- i.ses tliis year.
Promises are good if you have the reputation of keeping them occasion¬ ally.
"Needless employees must be drop¬ ped from the service, unnecessary offlces must be abolished and, where¬ ever possible, the consolidation of bureaus must be accomplished," said Oovernor Qlynn in his annual mes¬ sage to the Legialature. That was a most attractive promise but It had to await the arrival of a Republican ad¬ ministration for fulfillment. The Glynn administration did not aboiisr any offices or consolidate any, but it did create a lot of new ones. The present Republican administration has abolished two, the state flre mar¬ shal's office and department of effi¬ ciency and economy, consolidated tbe workmen's compensation commission and labor department into the indust¬ rial commission and dropped 400, the secretary of state thirty, the depart¬ ment of public buildings a number, and other departments are dropping more from time to time, while tb« Legialature provided for eliminating a lot more by withholding appropria¬ tions where the need of employees could not be shown by the heads of departments. '
The high character of the appoint¬ ments made by the Governor has been the subject of favorable comment ever since he began making them. The Civil Service Reform Association in ita annual report took occasion to praise Governor Whitman for uphold¬ ing the merit system and for the high character of his appointments while criticizing very severely in this par¬ ticular the administration of Gover¬ nor Glynn.
The solicitude of the Democratic press for the future welfare of the Progressive party Is touching.
From present Indications, the In¬ crease In the Republican vote nexi* year wlll not be limited to the re¬ turning Progressives. Three years of a Democratic free trade policy with the Incidental income tax and so- called war tax is going to convert a great many Democratic business men and workingmen into Republican voters for 1916, if not longer.
When you stop to think that twelve new boards and bureaus and forty- nine special commissioners were add¬ ed to thc state government during the terms of Governors Dix, Sulzer and Glynn, and none under the pres¬ ent Republican administration, you have a number of excellent reasons for upholding the hands of the pres¬ ent administration with a Republican majority in the Asaembly.
More than half of every dollar ot direct tax that you pay this year Is directly chargeable to the admlnls-

GEORGE BENNETT SMITH, East Merrick Road, Freeport, L I.
This is that new $886 Studebaker! The new car that has been so much talked of as the best car that Studebaker ever built. And if thie picture that we ahow here ever began to do justice to the car itself, it V70uld be more than enough merely to say: "$885 buys THAT car."
But no picture can ever adequately illustrate the car's lines, let alone its quality. And so we are forcsd to fall back on the old, time-worn "see it with your own eyes." However, "seeing it" will be surpris¬ ing, we know. For
It has GREATLY INCREASED POWER!
The new motor, enlarged to 8% InchfB In bore and displaylnR notabb' iiiorovpriiont t.i oeHlj,c., develop" 40-1.5 borK? power. More POWER for Ihal unexpected twist In the bill, for tlio quick getaway In city trafflc, for steady mlle-eating apeed on the open road.
It has INCREASED CAPACITY AND COMFORT!
The bodies of th<' new cars are larjjer than ever, longer and roomier ev¬ erywhere. Doors open wider. CuBhIons are deeper and softer and built up on lopger coll springs—wider, too. Driver's seat is divided. And In the tonneau are two extra seats that fold down into recesses In the tloor, completely disappearing when not l'n use, by means of which the car can speedily be-made into a vaoat commodious T-passeng'^r car.
buffed KiralKht grained leather on the market. Shafts, gears, steerlnK knuckles and all the vital parts of the car arf of bettpr sloeN than ever, nigher standards of accuracy In manufacturing, Indpeoilon and flnish hnve been Introduced.
And yet you PAT LESS!
-Vnd here It Is worhty of mention that this year's prices on Studebaker cars are nol the result of our building smaller, lower priced cars to sell purely on a price basis, but they are the result of our resources and facilities that few manufacturers can rival, lhe result of 4 years' study lit just two cha.Mses and the ^reat manufaclurlnn < conomlos- of concen- tratlnj? on but two deslgnH.
That is the sum and substance of what is to be said for this new Forty H. P, Studebaker. It is not only the best car that Studebaker ever built—but one of the g^reatest values any maker ever offered" at any price. It gives more for each doUar of its price than ever before. And any man who intends to buy a car at any price, wiU make a ^rave mistake if he fails to see tiis new car that represents the best efforts and the price-economies of one of the world's largest pro¬ ducers of motor cars. Write for handsomely illustrated catalog— and more important, SEE the car at
It gives HIGHER QUALITY
Difficult you wlll admit, remembering that Studebakers have always been quality cara—but none the lesa true. This new )8gS Btudebaker in spite of the reduction in its price Is tar better than any car even Studebaker ever, buflt before. The upholster y is the Anest grade of genuine, hand-
