Next year when the duty goes otf sugar 168,000,000 more drops out of tbe government's income and there is a big deficit already. Does this mean ttaat there will be an increase in the Income tax, an addition to the "war" revenue tax or a sale of bonds to keep the government going?
Just how popular the Simmons-Un¬ derwood tariff is with the American people can be determined without difflculty on the morning after elec¬ tion next year.

Staring on January i, 1888, in a small store in the old town ot New Lots, now East New York, our busi¬ ness has steadily grown until today, it has reached an enviable position In the furniture, bedding and floor-cov¬ ering fleld on Long Island.
On January 1, 1892, our Jamaica branch ot the East New Tork store - was opened and in March of 1902 we moved into our present commodious quarters. On December 31, 1903, our East New York store was closed, ana we have since devoted our energy and time here in Jamaica. *.-..

R. V. C. Again Defeats Bayview.
In by far the most, hotly contested niatch of the season, the Rockville Centre tennis club team defeated Bay- view Sunday afternoon by a score of flve matches to tour. The issue was not decided until the Dow-Root <om¬ bination flnally succumbed to Gal¬ lagher and Proctor ot the Rockville Centre In a gruelling three-set match at r>-4, 4-ii, H-6. A good sized crowd was kept in constant excitement by the closeness ot the contests, nearly all ot the matches going to three sets. Roi kville Centre was victorious be¬ cause her team was better balanced. Freeport's llr.st three men, Wallace, Longworth and Miler, won out in the single matches, hut the lower halt of the team was unable to continue tlie winning streak. In doubles .Miller and Wallace defealed Wright and Field, the riockville Centre pair, but the other Bayview coinhiiiations, Longworth-Wessels and . Dow-Root, lost out in very closely contested matches.
In Ilie opening game, Wallace of Bayview defeated Wright in a rather sluggish contest; t)-4, H-l. Miller, the Kreeport captain, duplicated his performance'ot several weeks ago. In defeating Field in one of the most in¬ teresting 'affairs of the afternoon. Both men are evenly matched, as i.s evideni ed by the score, fi-4, 10-8. After losing the first set at S-Ul, Longworth found himself, and suc¬ ceeded in gaining the verdict over Newberry, Rockville Centre's ncw star, showing a tar higher grade of tennis than he haa hitherto prodii<ed. The Freeport man hammered Ills v»ay through Newberry's (lefense and won out handily at i\-4. <;-!'. Tlie remain¬ ing three singles malcnes were olose and exciting, but the decisions were. In each case. In tavor of the Rock¬ ville Centre men. Proctor defeated Dow r>-l, 7-.'(. the Bayview represen¬ tative rogainliig his form too late in the second set to alter the oulcoiiie. Root fell a rather easy victini to Clif¬ ford's aggresive attack a! i'i-'2, t'i-'2. Thomp.son, although he lo.ik Ihe sec¬ ond set at (i-I, was unable to bring ina much-needed win from Oallanlier. The visiting player linished with ii slashing brand of tennis which left the local man piaciically out of tho running.    Tlie score was (>-l, l-i;, Cl.
In the doubles, M.il ler and Wallace dropped  the  flrst  set of their matih
with  Wright and  Field, but eventii-
ally won out at  8-10,  6-4. 6-2.     Tho reverse   applied   In   the   Longworth- Wessels.     Cllfford-Newberry     affair. After winning the flrst set, at 6-1', the local   men   slumped   badly,   so   (hat Clifford an dNewberry had little diffi¬ culty in  winning fhe two remaining [sets at (!-t. G-:{.    With the matche.s at four   all,   Gallagher   and   Proctor   of I Rockville (^entre proved themselv«s a I shade better than Dow and Root.   In the  most  closely   contested  set-to of jthe niatch. they succeeded In defeat- i ing the local men at 6-4, 4-6, 8-6.
N'ext Sumlay afternoon, at " 10. the Hajiview team will play the .Merrick club team, at the Bayview courts. .Merrirk will bring over a strong team i^f experienced players, so that an in¬ teresting afternoon's play wlll he as¬ sured. Hayview is confldent ot win¬ ning, hut their task will he a dll^cult one.

TRIBUTE TO WILDING
Jus^ hefore his own book on ten¬ nis, "Tennis .\s I Play It," was going lo press, .Maurice E. McLoughlln had to stopM its preparation to add 'o It a tribute to Wilding—one of th» fln¬ est tributes ever paid by one great sportsman to anotlier. Says Mr. Mc¬ Loughlln in the note that now ap¬ pears in "Tennis As I Play It":
"The sad news Is published that .'Vnthony F". Wilding, who repre.-i<?iited Australia as a meniber ot tlie Davis Cup team and won the world's t*ninis chani|)ionghip two years ago, has heen killed in the war. All who have met him on'tlic courts or off will be deep¬ ly affected hy the death of so flno a tennis player and so splendid a sportsman. I have had the honor of meeting liiiu in many a gruelling match, and (an bear witness that I have never faced an opponent of flner cliaracter. He was aa unassuming man and a hrave man, with a hoarty eiitlnisiasm for the open and , lean sport.    His death Is a tragiMly to aie."
