ROMANCE ON THE STAGE
Oliver Morosco, one ot our success. ful play pickers, is shedding bitter stage tears up and down Broadway be- caiue he aays he la unable to discern Inthe aeveral groups of actorson tbe aexeral spot-light comers, or even in the offing, any who are capable of play ing youthful, romantic roles.
The type he aeeka and cannot find laauch as Faversham used to be beforn he turned gray at the emples, and at J^mefc- O'Neill was wheu he filled tb*j oouse at matinees with practically no¬ thing I ul girlf.
If Mr. Moroaco wants to know wh> It Is hard to di^ccvur the r.-ally truly romantic actor today.he has only to contemplate the character of plays jaiiuive and Jonquil In tb* diauia.
The populai theme nowadays seeui* to be carbolic acid, physiological lab oratory and the dissecting room. When rn actor ia called ui>on to be romantic ttia uaually over another man's -vid.
When the producing manager he- gtnscalling for real romance and heart throb stuff, the playrlghts will .turn it out and then there will be plenty of competent actors to enact the Lockinvar roles. Freeport centra) will gladly furnish the names of half- a-doaen if Mr. Morosco will get on the wirel

POETRY—The Music of Language
A Department Dertyted To Vcrae and iti Fundamental Prin^lcs
Condocieil by
C J. GREENLEAF
REMORSE OFTEN FOLLOWS RASHNESS Continental Europe, seems on the verge of a bloody tmivereal war. Thinking, awakened people stand agast at the ti^rrihle prospect.
A half century ago this Union was In the throes of a migbty civil strife. Fifty yeara peen not long to the aged, but almost a cycle of eternity to the young.. To them, that war Is only history. To those who passed through the conflict, the scenes, experiences and impres¬ sions are more vivid than the events of yesterday. And perhaps tbe most profound impress that was stamped in the yielding wax of the minds of the young men and hoys who seemed in either army, was to end and alwaya aviod war in all Its phase uniei^s. Indeed, it be in the denfense of Home and Country. To carry out this leda, and as one of tbe fast vanisli- Ing hosts Of that Grand Army. I have made a^radical departure for this single iscue In the matter furnished for this department. Tbe "plea, of the Veterans" may need a further word of explanation. In Arlington Ceme- tury, near Washington, Is a huge boulder. On Its face is graven— "Beneato^ thla stone repase the bones of 2111 unknown soidier^i;. They were gathered after the war, from th battle flld of Bull Run, and on tbe route to the Rappahannock'***—It Is called "The Mounment to the Un¬ known"
General Thomas, the soldier's "Old Gap" "The Rock ot Huraanga." "Old Gihby," Oeneral Thomas Gibbons, one of the noble soldiers that commanded the famous "Iron Brigade." Tbe fighting qualities of tbis brigade gave them a world wide celebrity. At the first days flght at Gettysburg, they did much*lo save the day, holding the rebles in ciiecli until tbe Uion Army could arrive, of one regiment in this Brigade, the 24th Michigan, I quote from official sources; "This regiment had the larg¬ est number of casiuilltes of any that fought at eGttsburg . It entered the fight with 27 officers and 468 men. Three fourths of its number were struck down. For the assault on Peterburg, it mustered only 120 meu. It total of killed and wounded was 589 and 30 of it.s. members died in Confederfite prisons." It Is the duty of the First Seargeant to call the company s roll every ulght. He rattle.s oft the names In alphabetical order like the sharp barking of a revolver, and the soldier respond "Here, here," like the yeeping of a hungry pack of wolves rapidly as be calls the names, he knows if a single one falls to respond. Indeed his eyes search every man, for h knows the roll by heart. "Uncle Billy," of the famous epi-v gram? Gi^neral WilUam T. Sherman. A grand statue of hini standi al tbe plaza, one of tbe entrances to Central Park.
THE PLEA OF THE VETERANS The sun is hid In heaven and the moon is streaiied witli biood,
The long roll again Is beaten, the nations' roused for war. Our Europe it Is rolling like a vast and mighty flood,
The German French ann Engli.sh and the cold and civil Czar. .-T'he Jingoes Jibe and chuckee and boast in fooli.sh glee.
But they never marched with Sherman from Atlantic to tlie Sea. Hot with passion, swayed by feeling, they march to rolling drums.
The cave man.is even walling, reason abdicates her thorne. But the mothers, wives and chlldern, with horror striclcen dumb,
For the eagle is unlashed and the dove has homeward iluwn., 1 hear a leering trader hinting of the game and loot,
But he never saw the borrows of the Rappahannoclc Route. Summon all the terrors that come by land or sea,
Famine, plague and pestilence -all that men abhor. In a single word now gr^up theni, with flaming lettres three;
Like a white hot brand they're gleaming In the awful thing called WAR. They sing to me of glory, but I think of Cbancellorville,
Of Gettysburg, the wlldness, and draem of Malvener Hill. There's s line of slender blue of tho good old flghting stoclc,
Not a jingo sighs for war at their Iptiful parade, Thc-y're glad they knew old pap, Chicanauga's solid rock,
It was good to serve with IGbby in the flghting Iron Brigade. "We are waiting for the Seargeant to call the final roll.
Write your message, comrade, on a living lasting scroll; — For my chlldern, O, I pray thee, to ancient prophets word,
Conflned by every nation, yet the truth they all deny, , Graven deei^ In lasting tsone, the message of the oLrd!
'He who llveth by the sword, by the sword must surely flic' Heed the lesson, O. my children. Our Country, heed it well.
Uncle Billy knew the answer when he said tkhat 'War was Hell.' "

Subjects of Newipapaper Storic
aixl Reporter Under Same Roof
It is seldom that coincidence brings together In the same hous^ the prin- clple flgures in the news of a section and a reporter, yet that is just exactly what happened in Roosevelt tbe other day, and the occurrence might ne\aer bave been brought to th public atten¬ tion had it not been for a remark in¬ adequately dropped by the reporter.
The persons included in this rather remarkable meeting were Dif. Edwin aCrman, of Freeport, whose name has appeared in the headlines of newspa¬ pers for more than -a month; John Holliday, more recently concerned with a domestic trouble in which there was sensational features and Mrs. Mable T. Jackson, correspondeiit of the Brooklyn Daily Times in Freeport and Vicinity. The scone was the home of Charles Edwards, Sr.. wbo is affec¬ tionately known as the Poet Laureate Ol Run Pint."
It appears taht there was ilhu'ss in the Edwards home. Dr. aCrmau was sent lor. Holliday has heen a board¬ er there since his wife left him after tlie trouble with his own boarder two weeks ago, and Mrs. Jackson is also living at the house. Tho unusual cir- cunptances didn't seem to bother a soual. The doctor visited with the fiimily and members of the household aud then went away probably with¬ out a second thought of the meeting.
CELEBTATES BIRTHDAYjAT BEACH PARH
Friends of Miss Southard Sail to Point Lookout—Dine on Shore
Miss Dorothy Southard daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Southard, of Grand avenue, Baldwin, gave a beach and birthday party recently to her young friends at the Southard cottage at Point Lookout.
Fourteen set sail in the "Constance" al an oaily hours, under the patronage of Mr. and Mrs. Southard. At the beach the party parlicapated in Iiath- ing, swimming, and dancing. A birth¬ day dinner with all that gose to make it distinct and difl'ei¥nt was served at noon.
Among those present were: Marian Keele'-, Ella Eusk, Edna, Gimther. Margaret Suits, Mildred Cummings, Constance. Southard, James Keenan, Reginald Simes, Alien Smith, Elden Austin, Charles Miller, and Finak Hurley.
LONG ISLAND'S COMMUTER ARMY
Its Notable Yearly Increase Shows Growth—Freeport Still Leads
Probably evidence of tbe growth of Long Island is so strong as tbat shown by the statistics of the Long Island Railroad in its monthly summary of the number of commuters from its nu¬ merous viUiages and hamlets which bas just been received for the months of July, for it shows a steady if not a startUng Increase. In the compari- tlve table iMiich accompanies the omn. thly report^ given the total number of commutation tickets sold during tbe July month since 1909.
In that year there were 15,503; In 1912 the number was increased to 22,- 114 and today there arc more than 2«,000.
From the various villages of the South Side, particularly in the district bounded on tbe west by Valley Stream and to ttae east by Massapequa the several villages contributed these fol¬ lowing totals to ttae great commuter army: Valley Stream—173; Lyn¬ brook—554 ; RockvUle eCntre—779: Baldwin—220; Freeport—851; Mer¬ rick—^07; Bellmore—131; Wantagh— 63: Seaford—36; Massapequa—4 4.
Freeport leads as it has done for the past several years, but ttae mar¬ gin is greater at present then ever be¬ for. ,
