KKrO.NSTBFFT THE BEPFBLIC
Republican victory in November, both as to President and as to Sen¬ ate and House of Representatives, Is essential if cair country is to be made fully conscious of its duties and ob¬ ligations, both at home and abroad, and made ready to meet and dis¬ charge them.
The Wilson administration is in¬ competent, vacillating, and without definite prhiciples or policies. The Democratic party pledges of 1!>12 have been treated as scraps of paper, and abandoned before that higher political necessity which consists in votes at any'<'ost. Where Republican policies seemed hopeful they have been seized tipon, altered for the worse, and proclaimed to the count¬ ry as Democratic triumphs.
When an overruling Providenee kept our nation nut of the i;iirop- ean war desjiite a iioliey of weak- nes.s, time serving anrl verbal ini'elic¬ ily that threatened to Kti us iu it ut any moment, that too was cl-ilmed as a feather iu the cap of this ania'/ing administration.
A tariff policy wMeh i)laceil tbe lialler about the neek of American industry and .Vmerican labor was luerelfully jirevcnted by the i^urop- ean war from having its natural re¬ sults, and se the Ueiuoeratic party asks credit for a feverish and tem¬ porary prosperity.
Secretary .McAdoo plays polities with the treasury, and Secretary Daniels plays havoc with the navy. The principles of a reformed Civil Service are flouted, and an army of incompetent, but deserving. Demo¬ crats has been appointed to offlce. The axe is Btill suspended over the head of the experienced and efficient postmaster at New York, presumab¬ ly until it can be determined wheth¬ er displacement or reappointment win bring greater political advan¬ tage.
» The one great vii^oiy/ of the ad¬ ministration is over the Uemocratic party and its principles. Thomas Jef¬ ferson would turn in his grave if he could read Ihc legislation of the past four years. Andrew Jackson would stand amazed before the Mexican im¬ broglio, Samuel J. Tilden and Grover Cleveland would have ill-eoneealed indignation at what luis mas(|uei'a(l- ed as Demo< racy. Judicious Demo¬ crats openly_grieve and di.^ii'.tcicsted Democrats are sad.
The country's business is in a con¬ stant stale of uncertainty.

FKKKPOBT MKHCHANT.S
Probably in no line of trade is the ' customer so dependent upon the hon¬ esty and fairness of Ihe merchant as in the furniture business. There are many hundreds of varities and quali- Hes of goods, and in a vast niiinbc)' of instances they alt look so near alike that it is an easy matter to substitu¬ te an infi'iior article and change the regular high grade price. The public knows this, and that is the reason why a merchant who establishes a reputation for absolutely fair dealins -eldoiii Las cause lo complain of i)oor bti.sincss even when times are dull.
Tln' iiulili.- ha.s entire conlideiue in siieti a hou.^e and will instinctively turn lo it and ignore the blanditih- inents of the liouse that advertises ";o'.;iething for notliing." Our own town is peculiarly fortunate in this rtspeei. The tl'-r; of i;dv.',".rd H. CM- sen is o;;t to tio 1 >. it h^.; b'.iilt up iir. enormous volume of business by the simple method of being absolutely frank and oi.er) with its' customers and telling them the exact trutii about their goods, and their business is ex¬ periencing a healthy and steady growth as 'he months go by. There is a great deal of satisfaction, as well as economy, in dealing with such a firm.
When you eat, too, you may be con¬ suming something that is adulterated and injurious to the stomach and gen¬ eral health unless you buy- from a grocer who makes it a cardinal policy of his business to sell only such gro¬ ceries and provisions as are of guar¬ anteed purity and wholesomeness. Some grocers are very scrupulous and conscientious in this respect, and it is a matter for local pride to be able to state that none are more so than our own John J. Dolan's, whose eatables have given so much enjoy¬ ment aud general satisfaction to the homes of this community. The child can buy as i-afely and as economical¬ ly in this store as can the parent, for not a single "substitute" article is ever carried in slock. When you buy it from Dolan you know that it is pure and safe and wholesome, and that you aro not i)aylng one cent more than it is absolufely neee.'jsary for till 111 to charge. Their best friends :'re their oldest customers, who know from long experience the value of trading with them.
about 2\ii 'nillions and is increasing at the rale of 10 per cent, a year. It equals the population of the Slate of New Jersey and is more than double that of Connecticut.
The population of New York State has Increased about 25 per cent, since 1900, while that of Long Island has Increased 45 per cent. Today one in every four inhabitants of the Slale resides on Long Island.
The Pioneer Bailroad
Long Island, flowing with milk and honey, is served by a railroad which hasn't had any of the milk or honey.
The I.«ng Island Railroad was the pioneer and is the only survivor of steam railroad transportation on the Island. Since 1834 it has continu¬ ously ministered to the wants of this growing, expanding territory. It has licpt pace with the great growth and development about it. In fact, it has to a large extent anticipated and in some iustanees been the produc ins cause of that growth and devcl oimienl.
!r.'>(MM)0,IIOO Fur Heconstruetion
In the last fifteen years the rail- mad has been going Ihrough a per¬ iod of recousiriietion.
About fifty miilions of dollars have been expended for steel cars, auto¬ matic signaling, tliiuinatiou of grade crosMing.'., reducing curvatures and grades, biiiidin,^ e.xtra running tru-lis, electrifying tlie lines on the v.e-.tcrn en 1 of the Island, increas- ir.;; facilitirs for passenger and rrrisht trallb' ovtr the whole Island, etc.
The traffic, both freighi and pas¬ senger has responded lo these un¬ proved fa<'ililies.
Trntlic, Income and Out«<»
In IflOS tho road carried 18,l!)!i,lfl2 passengers. In 11)15 it carried 42,- 7G6,4!)!) passengers. Fifteen years ago it was an ishlaied road. The liarrier which retarded its growth was the Fast River. That barrier has been removed by the construction of the bridges and tunnels nosv in opera¬ tion.
Business, It is true, has increased, but not in proportion lo the increas¬ es in taxes, in wages, in additional expenditures for safely appliances.
extra men ontralna, extra aenrice, etc.
Oaly Xotorisff Baiard Life
We don't kill any one nowadays but reckless aHtomobillsts at grade cros¬ sings. With the continued co-opera¬ tion of you gentlemen of the press, we hope to reduce these accidents to a minimum.
in other words, everything has gone up in price, save only the one thing we have for sale—transporta¬ tion.
The traveling public enjoys mod- erh equipment and good service, the employes higher wages, while the stockholders have had nothing. The I'ress and Prosperity
The grow I h and prosperity of the Island and of the Railroad which serves it must go hand in hand. This is our excuse for. boring you with de¬ tails of the railroad situation.
You are tbe leaders of thought and moldcrs of public opinion. We look to you for intelligent comment and approval of even an increa.se in rates, if the situation warrants it.
We don't mind being pounded or scolded when we do wrong, but we expect your help and co-operation in maintaining the up-to-date transpor¬ tation machine we now possess. The Bailroads and Pnhlirity
Your bu.siness is publicity. The railroad believes in it. They are sub¬ ject to regulations and investigation. Their doings are an open book. They seek, a.s you do, the truth and are willing to take short cuts lo arrive al 11.
You are trustees of a great trust, wielders of a great power—the free¬ dom of the press. Y'our responsi- bilities are enually great, and failure to measure up lo them inflicts irrep¬ arable injury lo character and busi¬ ness.
The Island Of Homes
"There is no place like home." So wrote a__famou8 Ixing Island poet. We shalTbe amply repaid if we have succeeded in convincing you that "There's no place like a home on Long Island."
As another poet wrote: "Come in the evening, come in
the morning. Come when jou're looked for,
come without warning."
A COBRECnOTr
Learners not Minnn Through a most unfortunate series of circumstances a transposition of words escaped the attention of our I proof readers last week and the word "minors" was substituted for the word "learners'' in the advertisen^nt of the Classic Novelty Company.
The publisher of this p^per regrets the accident and desires to make this correction. We have known Mr. 1. nioomenthal, the proprietor and man¬ ager of this local factory ever since he came to Freeort and vouch for his honesty of purpose. He has but one ambition and that is lo be fair and obey the laws.
Although parents have at times pestered hl^ very existence with pleadings that he lake their younger children he has absolutely refused and will continue to do so.

FOR A MERCHANT MARINE
WITHOUT FEDERAL
COMPETITION,
Again, we must build up our merchant marine. It will not aid to put the Government into competition with private own¬ ers. That, it seems to me, is a counsel of folly. A surer way of destroying the promise of our foreign trade could hardly be de¬ vised. It has well been asked— Does the Government Intend to operate at a profit or at a loss? We need the encouragement and protection of Government for our shipping industry, liut il cannot afford to have the Oov- ernment as a competitor.—F'rom Mr. Hughes' speech of accept- \nce.

Long Island has 150 railroad sta¬ tions, 180 cost offices, and nearly 200 towns, villages and settlements; and every section is served by a well- edited, up-to-date, progressive news¬ paper.
In area it comprises, approximate¬ ly 1,041,000 acres, embraced within the boundaries of four thriving coun¬ ties.
Of this acreage, 881,000 acres are under cultivation, development, or devoted to homes and habitations while 160,000 acres are under water, or devoted to highway or railroad purposes.
