GLKASON
108 CHURCH STREET
& ADAMS
FREEPORT,
L. I.
Peter Radford
On Ctiufch and State The recent action of one of the leading churchea of this nation. In annual convention, demanding that the laymen vote only for eandidates for ofllce wboae views coincide with those of the clergy on one of tbe leading political issues, and direct and indirect efforts of other churcb organizations to interfere with tho freedom of the ballot, make one of thp greateat perils of this age, and present a problem that ahould receive thoughtful con¬ sideration of botb laymen and citizens.
Suckling babes may well squirm In their cradles when ministers in convention assembled release tbe hearts of men and grab tbem by the throat, for Chris¬ tianity has broken down, religion has become a fa^ce and tbe pulpit a failure. When the church substitutes force '^for persuasion, command for conviction and coercion for reason, the sheriff had as well pass the sacrament, plaln-clotbee men take charge of the altar and policemen bury the dead, for why a church?
It Is as dastardly a crime against government for a minister to unden take to deliver the votes of his parishioners to a candidate, as it Is for a ward heeler to deliver a block of votes lo a political boss, and both ought to be pr<<secuted. for the law should be no respecter of persons.
It is as objectionable for a convention of ministers to seek by cvionical law to control ttae votes of church members as it would be for a convention of manufacturera to issue orders for their employees to vote for a certain candidate. Such conduct is offensive to decency, business morals and a crime against society. Any convention, whether composed of saints or sinners, rich or poor, white or black, that seeka to prostitute power and coerce con¬ science ought to be broken up by the police and ita leaders arrested for treason.
A crime by any other name is a crime just the same. An ecclesiastical rooe cannot sanctify treason, authority to preach does not carry with it license to become a political ringster, or the right to teach us how to pray give a permit to tell us how to vote. No man In Joining'the church should sacrlflce his citizenship, forfeit his constitutional liberties or subordinate his duty to tbe state. The earth many times har been drenched with the blood ot our forefathers fighting to throw ott the ecclesiastical yoke from the state, and the suggestion ot a return to these medieval conditions with their horror and their torture should not be tolerated for a moment.
Laws should be passed prohibiting any preacher, or combination of preachers, from delivering or attempting to deliver their membership or congregation to any candidate for ofllce, and suitable legislation should be passed preserving the sanctity ot the pulpit from political vandalism. It Is as much a menace to church and state for a politician to occupy the pulpit as for a minister to preach a political sermon. He has no more right to I preach his politics from tbe pulpit than a teacher has to teach his politics ' to his pupils. A preacher cannot make political trickery righteous by usage ADY more than he can make profanity respectable by practice. It is one of the ironies of fate that a preacher may become a scandal as well as a glory to civilization.

the past five years, for during that period tiio capltol city has increased Its population by 11,022, with the re¬ sult that today it numbers 109,279 residents.
The offlcial census ngures for Al¬ bany have just been made public by Secretary of State Francis M. Hugo. The increase in Albany's population during thc last five years has been a most marked one, yet one that has
Saturday and midnight Sunday. Of these 4,24,5 were eastbound and 5,163 westbound. At the Barnum Isl¬ and road crossing, on our Long Beach branch, we counted 4,739 cars pass¬ ing In the same period, of which 2,6 20 were eastbound and 2,110 west- hound.
"In the single hour from 11 o'clock a. m. to noon on Sunday, 845 motor cars passed over the Merrick road

This Is at the rate of more awakening klong all lines of activity, than 14 cars per second, or about ono While no largo Industrial corpora-1 every four seconds, tions liave loi ated In Albany, there' '""The cars counted at these two has been a multiiido of small ones.

In I8i)2 Albany was a city of 97,- 120. In lOOlTlt had hut 94.151, a matter of 15,128 less than today. Be¬ tween 1900 and 1905 it gained 4,223 residents and from .1905 to 1910 Its gain amounted to but 1,88,3. During the last five years, however, Albany lias made rapid advances along all lines. Albany has but 7,808 aliens, acrording to the recent enumeration.
CARS EVERY FOUR SECONDS.
L. I. Railroad Keeps Tabs on Autos at Busy Crossings. The immense e.\tent of automobile tralhc on Long Island, and the urgent necessity for co-operation by motor¬ ists In the efforts to prevent acci¬ dents at railroad crossings. Is strik¬ ingly shown by the results of a special count of th^, trafflc taken last Sunday
ated on Long Island last Sunday week. Furthermore, nearly all of them must have crossed our tracks at otlier points, not once but several times In the course of a day's run. It is ob¬ vious that the railroad is powerless to safeguard this enormous trafflc un¬ less the motorists, themselves, use proper care when crossing the tracks. The great reduction In accidents this summer Is gratifying evidence that this fact is ,heing appreciated.
