SecreUry of State Hugo has Just Made a contract' for next year's auto- noblle license plates hy which the Stata saves $19,000. Every Uttle hit helps.
The Watertown Times says Gover¬ nor Whitman has made the state gov¬ ernment respectable. When you stop tt) think what the government of the state has been for the past few years that Is an accompl'shment of which aay governor might he proud.
The fact that seven of the twelve Members of the legislative committee appointed to study New York City's troublesome Hnancial conditions are New York City men Is only one In¬ stance of many that the state at large is disposed to give the greater city full oontrol of its own affairs.
When the present federal adminis¬ tration passed legislation In the in¬ terest of organized labor the natural presumption waa that it was looking^ for the labor vote, but It overlooked lbe fact that there is not room onough on the statute hooks for suf¬ ttclent labor legislation to offset the effect of robbing the' laborer of his hire as the Underwood tariff bill Is doing. Fairness Is hettar than favors. Under a protective tariff this coun¬ try prospered and labor shared in the prosperity. The knowledge of that ode fart means disaster for the Wll¬ aon administration.
WHAT REPUBLICANISM MEANS.
"Prosperity rather than justice, is ttae Republican aim," remarks Wil¬ liam Allen White In the Metropolitan aagazine.
Oiie would think that prosperity was to be avoided; that there was ¦omething ahout It which was decid¬ edly had for the country, and that the Republican party ought to be ashamed iSf Itself for working to bring it ahout.
What is prosperity?
We don't know what William Allen White's deflnltlon of It is. We under¬ stand It to mean good times, good wages, and employment for all per¬ sons who are ahle and willing to work; plenty of money in circulation, tacreased deposits In the savings hanks, good business for the mer- Phants.
^AU that sort of thing seems deslr- A^le. doesn't it?
What would Wlliam Allen White aad those who think as he does sub¬ stitute for UT
¦ And Just what does White mean wb^n he suys that the Republican party prefers prosperity to Justice? ¦^Isn't tt Just aa easy to have Justice iA>good times aa tn bad times?
"To give, to serve, to Ibroaden life and gladden living—^t^ese the Repub- lioan party has put away," thinks White. How does he know that? Does h^ bslieve that a nation under the cloud of business depression is better •Ifle to do these things than oi^ which Is prosperous? It that Is his aotlon, be would beter get rid ot it. - A man Is no more selfish or gener- owf, kind or unkind, in Kot>d times than lu bad times. But if he has gan-

erous Impulses, If his nature Is kind, he can be of more service when his own circumstances are comfortable than when the wolf Is howling at his door.
Republicanism means common sense. It means governmental policies that will help put good food on the Uhife and good clothes on the hacks of men, women and children. It means good schools. It means happlnese In the home. It means a chance for every man to make something of him¬ self. It means less crime. It meaiiB national progress. It means substaft- tlal Juetice. It doesn't mean the mil¬ lennium, but It means conditions that are a good deal nearer to tbat happy time than those which prevail when prosperiiy Is lacking.
A number of Grand Army meh from Freeport went to Baldwin as guests of the committee on celebration there last Monday. Four of the veterans boarded a car bound for Mlueola, to return late In the afternoon. Ou the rear side seat three flne looking young women were sitting. They were ot the flnest type of our beautiful American girls, well but not showily dressed, clear-eyed, red cheeks with¬ out the help of paint. As the veterans stepped into the crowded car these three girls Instantly came to their feet and tendered the aged men their seats. It was a pretty graceful act, done prettily and gracefully. Of course all refused, but one of them Insisted that a certain popular veteran of the village should take the seat she had vacated as "a favor lo me," she prettily termed it. Still he re¬ fused. His companions would not stand the fact of his refusing sueh a pretty girl a favor, and slammed hfm Into the seat between the two laugh¬ ing, blushing girls and guarded him to see that he kept his place. And every person In the car roared at the funny Incident. And not a person in that car will forget these fine young women or their sweet court¬ esy to the old vetarana.

JUOT BECAUSE!
Oh, you little "Anti"—•
Upholding a lost cause. Showing a hateful grouch—
Just because! Just because! With arguments faulty.
And untold mental flaws. You've set us all laughing—
Just because! Just because! All your actions of late.
Make thoughtful people pause. And doubt whate'er you say—
Juet because! Just because! You'll soon be of the past.
As well as your lost cause, A failure from the flrst^
Just because! Just because!

rfiESE eminent authorities for years, in advocating beer in¬ stead ot medicines in cases of poor nerves, poor blood, bad digestion, malnutrition and the like, say:— Prof. Adolph Cluss, Royal Cellejfe, Vienna:—
"/f makes good the waste of human tissue, due to excessive menial nr physical activity."
Prof. Jos. Zeisler, Northwestern University:—
'^The small percentage of alcohol in beer induces medical men io tavor it—// does nat make drunkards.'''
Prof. Willis King, Kansas City, Mo.:—
"/ have prescribed beer for forty years in many cases and always found direct dnd beneficial results."
Dr. Henry Davy, Pres. British Medical So.-iety, l.,ondon, Kn}>.:
"Beer, bread and cheese for a meal is infinitely more scientific than Ihe American meal of bread, tea and jam.
The World's Greatest Scientists Assert:
The proper use of Pure Beer is henelicial as a food drink becauKe it has great properties for builiKng up the system. Good beer makes good blood, because it contains iron; it makes solid, healthy flesh, because ils proleids are almost in¬ stantly assimilated. Pure beer is the best drink—for man and woman—because it is mildly exhilarating, wholesomely tonic in ita effect, conserves human rsergy, aids digestion and steadies the nerves.
When, therefore, we find that renowned scientists the world over indorse the food value of beer, we should feei n« hesitancy in using Pure Beer in our daily life.
