FAIR  PLAY  FOR GERMANY
I'Jditor  of  Nassau   Post:
The note.s on current topics by George Wallace in South Side Otwerv- er are Just now unusu&'ly "disturb¬ ing" because they seem to lack any intelligent and true grasp of salient factii. liecauee his blundering Kng- lish friends proclaimed him as a form¬ er New York State Senator instead of an ordinary ex-Assemblyman, when he talked lo a church club taerc some time ago, might incline hJm to root hard for John Bull, but Is no good reason for not giving fair play to Germany, the place to which he so frequently fled on hia vacation peri¬ ods lo enjoy its attractiveness and culture. Ungrateful is the man who kicks the dog that IkVs bis hand and unkind is he who so rewards sincere hospitality.
He claims Germany provoked the war. He should know that tho Kai¬ ser's chief ambition always waa to be until bis death the Peace Emper¬ or of Germany. He should appreciate fully that thia war was forced on Germany by other nations which were falling behind in the commercial bat¬ tle. In scientific achievements and art and culture. But then, there are none so blind as those who will not see.
He Is alarmed because the cwaque*. ot Sngland by Germany would be a cnishinif blow to personal liberty. Tbe word liberty la a comparative term and does not preclude the ideas of or¬ der and intelligent co-operation Oer mans have ever had the strong Teu¬ tonic trait of love for personal liberty aad have never hesitated to make great sacriflc^ therefor. For one who urges President Wilson to ob¬ serve neutrality, would It not be well for this writer to practice the pre cepts be prescribes.
However, perhaps it ia hardly ne¬ cessary to comment at length on these notes, as we find few wbo take tbem seriously.
Yours truly, (signed)  M.  A. I. NAMRBG.
Judging by the unanimity of th( tioru.s in nvwspapcr circles in Na.« I sau, the act of Kenaahan, the county printer. In even proposing to inanda mus the County Treasurer inio hav ing a tax sale, borders upon "gall sub¬ lime." Now, Kenualian is not neces sarily a Barabbas, even if his follow •.Taftsmen do characterize him as such. He is a clever printer who has noted the lack of business astuteness on the part of lils associates in the printing business, and naturally h* goes gunning for whatever is in sight. Vou will note that there is a distinc tlon between printing and publishing. Gawd forbid that Kennahan and his critics should be r.ccu.sed of tx'ing publishers, that is. nublishers of any¬ thing worth while, new-spajpers for in¬ stance, for that would be libellous; and whll^ "sniping" may be a legitl

What, you have never heard of Oibboney, tbe Junior mem¬ bers, be orf the sunny southland, with tbe aad, smooth face and the lack lus¬ tre eye? It yon are a trouserlesa Democrat in search ot a job, better connect up with this firm right away, for by UmiUtion it wiU expire at the end of 36 monthe. See OiM>oney, by all means, see 'em both if you can. Oibboney openly boasta of being the disipenser ot Democratic patronage in thia State. Formerly the braggarts of our American civilisation were In tbe popular imagination intimately a»so- ciated with the sunny eouthland. You remember wben one Johnny Reb could lick half a dozen Yanks. But Oib^ boney 10 no braggart, he's Just a boast¬ er, and sad to relate for the good of Democracy he has the goods.

It is this, that haa enabled them to advance so many new, Interesting and educational and profitable features.

and
Larry Parcels With Schulte
Schulte, the great retail tobacco cigar dealer who commenced business 36 years ago in the World Building, New York City, the one con¬ cern that never was a "Jonah" or per¬ mitted itself to be swallowed up by the trusts, has succeeded in securing the services of Larry Parcels, one of the most poipular and well known ci¬ gar salesman in New York City.
Mr. Parcels is In charge of the Schulte store located at 157 Flatbush arenue. Just south of the Long Island liailroad dopot, where bis Long Island friends can flnd him from early to late.

Through the medium of this paper Ralph Samet, the dry goods merchant of Railroad avenue. Is making special offers to the citizens of Freeport for every Monday.

Our thanka to Traffic Manager Langdon, of the L. I. R. R. He is an optimist of optimists, a man after our own heart. He sees in the war possi- lievlng that the hundred and thous- ble benefits to our sea-girt Isle, be- ands of Americana wbo annually be¬ take themselves to Ehirope will spend aome of the year 1915 with us out here on Long Island. Perhaps If that ten-thirty p. m. train should be restor¬ ed to us, we should be better prei)ared to receive and entertain the visitors.
RockTille Centre plumes Itself npon its new boulevard lights along Ob¬ server street and Park avenue, and well It may, for they are a positive addition to the village. The Improve¬ ment which they represent cost some¬ thing Uke $6,000 and its successful cimipletlon Is due to the generosity of a single man. Every abutting pro¬ perty owner save two agreed to i)ay his share. To one of them it meant an expense of nearly $700. The Long Island Railroad cheerfully chipped several hundred dollars. The share of the stubborn two was $400 for one and $50 for the other. Without their contribution the whole improvement would fall. The more they were la- l>ored with, the more stubborn they became. Finally Dr. Bulson, the Vil¬ lage President, drew his personal check for the two amounls and band¬ ed It to the Village Clerk. This Is only one of many good thinga done hy the Doctor since he has been Vil¬ lage President. It Is reasonable lo| believe the village will honor itself by re-electing him this spring.
Uy the way, 1 don't seem to flnd many so-called Whitman Republicans around here. Perhaps they are here, but they are not very talkative. The Governor's porpoaitlon to abolish a lot of oflices may have chilled our Re¬ publicans a bit. Ii€t me give you h tip. Solid you may be with our Gov¬ ernor, but If yon strictly desire to strengthen the bond, see Ellhu Root or Seth Low or some of the Court of Appeale .fudges, all of whom aa gub¬ ernatorial advisers may be said lo Stand In the front rank. I should much prefer their endorsement to that of Billy Barnes if I were seeking poli¬ tical preferment at the hands of the Governor. Billy's popularity with the boya Is stlU undlmmod, but you must remember that a political party so preeminent in the field of vlrtse still has a number of real good men in it, and good men cannot wholly be ig¬ nored for boys. For the preeent, let Republicans wben tbey cross any tracks leading into or out of Albany stop, look, listen—and carefully avoid the third rail.
Mr. Bryan Is a good man, an amia¬ ble man and a well-meaning man, but he has no common sense.—N. Y. World.
He has some things, however, which should commend him to the carping critic.

The signs are multiplying in I>emo- cratic circles that a whole lot of Democrats want no more of Wilson and Bryan after their present term. The former they regard as loo pedan- Lis, the latter a Joke. As for the mem bers of tho cabinet generally, witb a single exception. It is to smile. Gar¬ rison, the War Secretary, alone seems able to satLsfy sensible Democrats. When we contemplate McAdoo, we are forcibly reminded of what Wil¬ liam H.
