The joy of the old time love letter was its individuality, its little pink envelope with the flower in the corner the faint suggestion of a perfume, the the furtive appearance of the address, the obvious nature of its contents, which made It necessary to watch tlie mailman very closely and conceal all evidence 'ere conimou eyes should be come cognizant of your state nnd make rud capital thereof. l.,atur, one wa." of little bundles which a fond senti¬ ment bad tied up with stringy rib bon, and, realizing that later events have constituted them a grave dan¬ ger of hearth and home, a page '.if one's life must be torn out and depos¬ ited among the ashes. Nowadays, it, is hard to tell the difference between the love ifelter and'''a gas bill, fr0i,'i the outside, and th inside is frequent¬ ly just as disappointing, only not ouit',' so pressing.
The a^'.e of love letter writing is past, Man may be getting reckless ill his speecli, make fair promises in haste and repent them at leisure, but put him down to writing, and he dot- e-s one eye all the tiimv

Phases of the Bailey Murder Case as Viewed by Others
IN DEFENSE OF TUE AUTUORIHES
The . if, death of Edwin Hailey ¦ ho i,ith JaiJicG Brooks was crushed under an uutomohile whii from Tort Jeffeison to P^cli moved an upstanding figure fnfiojfiifv democracy of Suffolk County. Mr. Hailey was no feather duster polit'- I'ian but a man who gave and was not timid lo receive hard knocks. He wa;i of the rugged typo which invariably plays a leading part In affairs. The Democratic organization of Suffolk County will miss the Hailey coimsel aud the Republicans an adversary who always challenged them to do th".ii best
LOVE LETTERS
Can It be that we have passed oai of tbe age when a youth, love-smitten and therefore not entirely responsible, could 4!it down on paper that roses are red, the violets blue, sugar Is sweet and so are you, and send it With all available open space at the bottom of the page lifted with X's, symbolical of kisses?
A writer of our actiualntance seems to tbink so. He sayS; love letters ;<!¦ not what they used to be. The stern progress of the twentieth cen¬ tury with Hs uncomfortable training of the Juvenile mind along utilitarian channels, lie asserts, luis ironed out the senllnient and F-ut it place thereof the typewriter ribbon. He continues:
In the old days a letter from a lady to the Idol of her dreams was penned In a blotty. Indecipherable mlJtture of spider legs and semicircular peram¬ bulations that might mean anything the heart desired, the only really leg¬ ible sentences being certain X marks judiciously appended or inserted, and which needed no Interpretation.
Kowaduys, auch communications as come are In a bold, firm biuiness col¬ lege band. cl%d in stateihents woefully
The Wife and the Pay Envelope Of course there has never been a statute of the subject, nevertheless, and not withstanding, the opinion no doubt prevails In many households that a man should deliver his pay en¬ velope to his wife with the seal un broken. It has remained for Jud^e (Iriffin to give a judicial decision on th subject. In a case before him, in which a husband and wife had sought the court over a matter of money, the judge held that the man who earned the money which periodically came to him in the pay envelope, had f.\- iliisive rights as to breaking the seal thereof. Once the seal was broke-i it became his duty as provider of thc lamlly to give his wifo as much of his earnings as he could or as much as slie requires within reason, con- ^ildel•ing the needs of the household and, the amount at his disposal to .sup¬ ply those needs.
Until such time as some wife car- r'es the subject matter to the higher (ourt this fair and equitable arrange¬ ment will have to stand -UQje«s-aiid there is always an unless—the wife hold the decision to be iinconslllu- tional,
.Sympathy? Yes in the largest mea¬ sure.
Vengeance? Never. Justice? For the permanency of onr institution. Justice always.
Unfounded Gossin and Insinuations Work Irreparable Wrong
'Ihoughtless persons, designing >;om sips and scandal mongers have taken occasion during the past week to un¬ justly und falsely accuse not only the Freepori police department and the county (ifl'icialH brt the Freepori Elks and Masoi • of ir;a'ncere and incom¬ petent work and with trying lo sup¬ press and cover up facts tending to 1 lear i.p I'le traiedy which occurr(?('. in Lir. ( arnian's office last Tuesday evening.
Those in a position to know and judge declare 'hat t'le Kreeport police department and the village officials under the leadei ship of Village I're;- ident Uolaud M. Lamb and the countv oflicials under the personal guidancf? of District Attorney Louis J. Smitli and .Sheriff Stephen F. Pettit havo worked togethei', most indefatigably, and without any fear or favor to un¬ ravel rnie of the most atrocious and mysterious murderr. in the annals of orime.
-N'ot only tho large corps of liictro- polltnn newspaper representatives who an t ioeptionalfy trained in sucb mat¬ ters, but pros^culors of iiiestimahl'! e.vpeiierce and ability dedaie th;*: none others could hav<! worked so coii- sisteiilly to unravel tlu: mystery and tix the (rime on the guilty party.
I'ni'ounded insinuations and gossip are not ouly misleading to the officials but work a great and irreprievablo wrong to the parlies concerned.
FEELS FOR DR. CARMAN'S SERVANT
Rhode Island Maid Sympathizes With Celia Coleman
1 have been loading the cross-ex¬ amination of -Mrs, Carman's maid und the comment tiiereon. It s stated thai •'she proved a very unsatsfactory wit¬ ness Irom the standpoint of the State, for on every occasion that the intr;r- rogative of the District Attorney seeiu- ed bound to develop an important air- swer, she sought refuge in an "I do not remember."
Why Is it thus assumed that she really did remember? What was 1 do¬ ing yesterday- say at half past two'.' 1 do not remember. Who passed through the room at that hour? May daughter, Grace—possibly Margaret— mayhap my husband—I do not jemem- bei'.
What was I doing? Well, i bake my bread In the afternoon it Is often done at half past two. At any rate I turned out the gas when it was done and took the loaves trora the oven. Then, perhaps, 1 mended stockings. Anyway, 1 remember that I wnt up¬ stairs to change my dress, taking willi me a pile of mended stockings, but
perhaps they were ail fininhed while I waited for the bread to bake—I do not remember.
Where are we curselve.s •while ouv hands are busy? Where was 1 yes¬ terday afternoon? Over the o( ean. sit¬ ting in the Tuilleries, chatting and laughing wifh my married daughter-- then walking about a Coniieeficul vil¬ lage, making pastoral calls wilh uiy son. The sound of the door bell or telephone would have caled me back at any time—or the odor of scorchiiiK bread. All the' ho.se were carerull.-' mended. But thus do the thoughts ol the Innocent wander far from cr'me.
"Were you ever In trobule yourself asks the District .\ttorney,
"Yes sir—there was a death in tlio family," answers poor Cella.
"Did Ceorge Toomer call at the Cm. man house, and when did he call?" .She looked blank.
If I am ever lulled to the witn"ss: stand I am convinced Ihat I shall look vecy bli-nk, indeed, 1 shall leiterai,- that 1 do not remember. I shall blush anri stymmer and contradict myself. I shall look horribly guiliv, and then break down and cry. /
And all the while I'^iay not even have heard the shot Ihey all are talk¬ ing about. I never Hie shots and nni unconcerned when 1 har them. Ve! I um G7 years old, and surely as in¬ telligent, as well-poised, and bave a-, ready a command of laiigua.ge as th.'.- average serving maid,
.May a mere woman venture to sug¬ gest that there is room lor impio\e- nient in our judiiial methods of fer¬ reting OUI crime?

GOOD WORD FOR DR. CARMAN
1 want to say a word aboul Di-, Ci:-
maii and the Bailey murder. He !ias
done lots '»f good work here. FJvory-
one heif knows how he came to helji
our hired man's wife, serving as cook. nurse and physician, charging (lOaud compromising on ?5. Another neigh¬ bor told me how he sat up all nlpht with their cook and when the cook had convulsions, and he never got a cent. Thousands of such instances could be cited in hLs favor. Then the shot is fired and down goes bis good name. "The bubble reputation" is the right description for fame. It is a very sad case, and where the guilt exists It is hard to say—harder to think. We hope they will come out of it. and yet 1 can't see how they ever will, | K. B. L.

The advice of Elvin N. Kdwards on the Progreasive political Hituatiun Ik disinteroBted and sane. He .sayw tbiii Hoowovelt oUKlit not to be a candidate for governor. Oficourse, he oiisht not. A man who has beeu presideni should never permit himself to bt dragged into a stale iK>lltlcal cam- pulKn just because It may appear that he can save the day and win the of flee. The Progressives are strong or weak In New York state on their plat¬ form of principles and their attitude toward public questions. They should put thla strength or weakness lo a test on a dignified basis. If the vital¬ ity of the Progressive cause In this state cannot be sustained without Roosevelt the sooner the party shuts up shop the beHer. It la a political axiom tbat a cause should always be more luHJortant than « man. Progrei- slve success will be determined on basis.
