meeting of held at tlie
THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.
The time is "uoTlar distant when all eyes will be turned upon the cam¬ paign in Nasaau for local candidates. Upon its conduct depend.s very largely a continuance of Republican control In county affairs. Fortunately the party has at its head experienced campaigpers in whom the rank and flle no less than the district workers have every confidence, and that fact many, of Itself, be accepted as auspic¬ ious.
As chairman ot the Republican County Committee, Mr, Jeremiah Wood has conducted three campaigns with splendid success and to the satis¬ faction ot his party associates. As the director of the county presidential campaign, a larger measure ot respon¬ sibility will be imposed upou him. Stale and National Committees are especially exacting in such a year and the resourcefulness of a campaign manager is invariably taxed to its ut¬ termost. Legislative experience counts for much in these political battles and with this Mr, Wood is well equip¬ ped. An acriuaintance that is State-wide is a positive asset and this he possesses. So it may be said that the Republicans of Nassau are in a state of preparedness far superior to that of many of the older counties of tbe State,
The more emphatic the election re- BUlts in a county, the larger the place it is bound to occupy on the political map of the State and the more closely It Is scrutinized for candldatorial "timber." Reciprocity is one of the chief prqlucts of politics, and it is not too much to expect that some day a Nassau Republican may be selected for a State office in recognition of party service and public demand. Therein lie posslbllltlee of preferment especially promising to Republicans possessed of records for sagacity and Industry as party workers.
Meanwhile, let the battle proceed —as it is bound to the movement an adjournment sine die le announced at Chicago.
Comparison of the actual accomp llshmente of the Republican admlnls tration of this state and the Demo cratic federal admlstration In the matter of preparedness is very favor¬ able to this state. The signing of Qovernor Whitman of the Welsh- Slater bills for compulsory physical training in the public schools and for compulsory military training for all boye between sixteen and nineteen, and tbe Stivers bills giving the gov¬ ernor power to draft for the reserve militia all able-bodied men between the ages of eighteen and forty-flve and making the national guard and the naval militia conform to the lat¬ est requirements of efflcient military, system, place New York In the lead of all statei in the matter ot practi¬ cal preparedness. Actions speak loud- «r than words.
The lesson of the great parade in N^w York City in favor ol prepared- netis is plain. It was a great out¬ pouring of American citizens with¬ out regard to race, creed or politieal ballet.

How true the saying that a prophet is never appreciated in his home: equally true that those with whom we meet and converse most intimately may suffer under our immediate ob¬ servation and yet rereive little thought from us concerning th«ir real condition. Mrs, Rhoda E. Jack¬ son, our postmistress, who has not only served us faithfully, but lovingly and patiently for years, is .slowly but surely recovering the use of her hand, injured eo badly some two years ago in an accident which she suffered while alighting from a train.
.Mrs. Jackson has only recently had the splints removed in which her hand has been bandaged ever since last October, and yet she has continued to take an active part in the social and church work of the village, a patient .sufferer. Surely none know her but to love her, and it is hoped that she will soon be entirely free from the pain and inconvenience she has had to bear ever since the time of the ac¬ cident.
Col, and Mrs. Benjamin L. Law¬ rence of San Diego. Cal,, are spend¬ ing the week with Mrs, Rhoda E, Jackson,
