THE CONSTITUTIONAL DOCTORS It may be quite essential that the Constitution of the State of New York nhould be amended, altered and re¬ vised. Becauae it was RUfBcient a score or decade of years 'ago. does not necessarily Imply that it is up to the requirements of the present day. At all events this change has been de¬ cided upon. That' the vote making nis decision Anal was not of the most satisfactory sort, Is now beside the question.
Three Constitutional delegates wiU be elected at the coming fall eiectiou. irom each Senatorial District. The voter at this election will be called upon to perform no more sacred or carefully thought of duty than the election of these delegates. Very much depends upon the good work performed by them when their duty rwgins.
And It is reasonably certain that, ^n many instances, the best men have not been selected for this important work. And yet among those on the

It. Smith. This is like showing a watch to illustrate the genius of the 'maker. But Ihe design is ever greater than the thing designed. The man must be greater than his work. And beyond all the work done, there must be a certain amount of reserve force. In business matters Mr. Smith works like a fine machine. Prompt¬ ness without hurry or fusslness. A perfect mastery of details. Sharp ef¬ fectiveness characterizes all his move¬ ments without harshness or abrupt¬ ness. A perfect kindliness and democ¬ racy united with a strict enforcement of needed discipline.
There is a great difference between haste and hurry. Few of us hasten too much. It is our prevailing fault to hurry. Hasten means despatch, ex¬ ecutive ability. It is doing work with swiftly moving hands that an active brain has carefully planned in au- vanco. Hurry signifies ill directed ef¬ forts, rapidity without forethought, generally disaster. Mr. Smith ever hastens but he and hurry are strang- Ts, as they ever Should be with all j I us. I
Now aside from this question en-1 tirely, does the aggregate of public opinion in tills or any other village, give their good, big citizens the credit that Is really due them? It certainly does not. We delight to notice, com¬ ment and criticise any personal pe
The candidates for these delegates will have their names printed on a separate ballot, but under their party emblems. Bul these party emblems should weigh nothing in the selection by the voter, for the work of those delegates will be purely of a non-partl- aan nature. The constitutional dele¬ gates for this district were printed last week, but it will do no harm to repeat them several times belween now a^d the day of election. Demo¬ cratic—John J. Graham, John J. Rob¬ inson, Henry A. Reeves. Republican —Robert S. Pelletreau, Franklin A. Coles, William M. Mc Kinney.'
•We urge the fullest investigation of the fitness of these six men for the duties that will devolve upon them.
"Lash Vice and Follies of the Age" There is a secret undercurrent of vice and immorality in the villages of Long Island. Its presence here in Freeport has become quite noteworthy ot late. It comes to the surface as the bubbles and gas of some sewer that emptys inlo the current of a smoothly flowing river. Occasionally U. gets into the police court. More often it is hushed up and passed over. Last week a case of this kind came lo our notice. It was Investigated and no mention will be made of |i. In these columns. No possible good could
THE TANGLED PRIMARY The object of the primary ballot la to allow the voters to choose their own candidates instead of having such seekers for office thrust upon the voters by a machine made con¬ vention. It is quite probable that the same causes will produce the samer effects, or rather that the new methtHl will not remove the old causes of dis¬ satisfaction, which was really the lack of active Interest in the average voter. It has i^lways been truthfully claim¬ ed that if every- intelligent voie. would attend the caucus, the early convention or the primary, and vote for the best men, such men would be nominated and elected with the ut¬ most ease.' But this intelligent inter¬ est has ever beeu- lacking. And the probability is that this same intelli¬ gent voter will remain away from the primaries while the active politician will be right on hand, as he ever has been, and he wfll win, because in this sense, he deserves success.
As always the illiterate voter stands «mall chance ot knowing what he Is doing when he Totes the bewildering array of names, and it is usually de¬ sired that he should not know. The c!onllnual political danger seems to be that the nominations will be made by men trained in every kind of the nnlitical game, and thus easily pit themselves against the great mass f)f untrained voters and Vilh the usu-' al result of skill and discipline over the untrained and unprepared.
PRACTICAL LECTURES
The Men's League of Rockville Centre invited Charles A. Ryder, of the New York Telephone Company's ofilce of this village, to deliver a lec¬ ture in the Baptist Church of that vil- Ifige last Monday evening. His sub¬ ject, "Wonderland of the Telephone," was handled in a very interesting man¬ ner and was illustrated with lantern elides showing the remarkable prog¬ ress made by the telephone since its Inception.
Now, why Is^t not possible to have such talks here? Nearly every church Is unoccupied evenings, there is a big lecture room in the High School building that the people own. Wn> not get good practical talks from men who know, and let all of us learn something that the other fellow knows all about?

tions, but so seldom do we heartily commend the work done, or realize how dependent we are on such men and women for the maintenance of public zeal.
The merchant proudly points to his goods and bills receivable as his prop¬ erty assets. But if these goods re¬ main on the shelves they become a positive and annoying liability. It is his mythical good will, in realUy the customers that are in the habit of
¦coming to his store, that* are his teal l^bsets. So if a visitor comes to Free- i»prt we proudly inform him of the number of inhabitants. We do not add that a-«ertain percent of these "residents are undesirable, and that . the village would be better off if rid ^H|d( their presence. MP We seldom mention the fact .that we have a score, a dozen, splendid, big men apcj women that are giving their best thougm. and efforts to the uplifting work of this community. And yet these splendid people are the finest assets of this or any other cpiu- munity.- Without them societj would - soon lapse into something akin to barbarism. Such people not only fur¬ nish labor, nmlntenance, the means of making a Uvelihood, but they give 1^: thought, Impulse, hope, faith In the i/. future, the belief in honesty and truth. They make public safety possible. To such people we a»»3 the pleasing sight ot women seen on our streets any " evening, unattended, going their way In peace and security. This pleasant _ and entirely proper freedom does not Elst in New York nor in many vil- pges on, Long Island. It is^iisentlal for the business man to look closely after hia assets. It is _e.qually Incumbent on a village com¬ mune to care for and encourage Its lassetB, the best and most precious gift of civilization, its splendid, de¬ voted men and wom^n who realize the blessing of doing for others, and thus securng the good ol all.
This ought to be a startling decla¬ ration. It Is written and published to furnish food for immediate thought and action on the part of parents, fathers and mothers, societies and or¬ ganizations and police officials.
A man at Rockville Centre has iound an unopened letter among his effects dated seven years ago, con¬ taining a check for $135. What would he have done wllh the proceeds seven years "ago and what will he do with all these dollars now? And If that imount of money had been kept hustling all these years, what a lot of good It could have done and what a lot of debts it could have jiaid.
Jealour. Corner Pockets There is a certain corner In the vil- ias« where a gang of young fellows congregate every evening. For what purpose Is not cl^r to the average passer-by. But the fact that they af^ there for no good purpose is quite evi¬ dent. And it is equally apparent that they do not intend to be bad. Up to date it is just one of those careless, harmful habits that boys indulge -in without serious thought of the future. But their time might be far more profitably employed. Break It up and quit it. You will never regret doing so, boys.

Joseph Cassidy and William Wil- lett have found that the'way of the transgressor is hard. Every good citizen rejoices over this conviction and Imprisonment. Not against these men in a pei^onal way, but every con¬ viction of this kind shows that tbe day of the political boss is over.
Cassidy ruled with undisputed^ In¬ solent sway for years. He showed by every act that he believed there was no law that could, would or dared to reach bim. It is good to have such men Undeceived. It is a righteous triumph of t,he people to see them safely behind the bars. They Ivill not be Accorded nny privileges not given to. the -ordinary offender. Let other would-be political bosses take beed nnd w»rnlng. The people are tired of their rule and will tolerate it no long¬ er In any party or from any source.
There has been a battle between the Allies and the Germans right here In Freeport. The Dutch won. It was bloodless. But the Kaiser's troops 'rom the Elks' Club proved that they could shoot bowling balls straightej: and for more strikes than any Scotch Allies' Jfi*^ slid on the alleys that night. But great wars are seldom de¬ cided on the outcome of one battle. There will be other engagednents to follow.
Over 40 days, of drowth is showing its Inevitable results. Lakes and streams drying up, withered flowers and vegetables, early falling leaves. It has daused the loss of thousands of dollars to afrmers and dairymen on Long Island. In all districts that do not depend on artesian supply there is greater danger of water famine, and New York and Brogklyn has had to urge a diminished use of this pflme necessity.
Gilbert Henry Rhodes Again the grim SargeSnt has called the roll and Gilbert Henry Rhodes, of Oceanside, has answered "here." Hh died last Monday morning and will be bur^d with military honors at Green¬ field Cemetery, Thursday afternoon at three o'clock. All comrades are yi- vlted to meet at the cemetery. Mr. Rhodes was 75 years of age, was a member of Co. F., 158 Regiment, N. Y. Vol. He served nearly three years and was mustered out at The close of the war. He had been a member of the D. B .P.

I take great pleasure in saying that if it was not for the adequate telephone service I ao receiving that I cj)uld not give such promptness to my customers.
At least another clerk and delivery wagon
would be required if a personal call had to be
made to secure the many orders that I receive
by telephone.
C. CARUAN.
As a selling medium the telephone ranks first In economy—
because the cost is far below the expense in¬ curred in personal travel;
In efficiency—
because it is a producer of resuhs in greater quantity than can be obtained in any other way;
In despatch—
because the smallest possible space of time is consumed in carrying your voice direct to those who bufy.
Does the telephone rank first in your sdling organization ?
