AN EFFORT TO MISLEAD.
public business is transacted to carry much weight, but its purpose to dis¬ rupt tbe present state administration seems very evident.
PREPARIN6 FOR THE CAMPAIGH.
The efforls of a group of Democ rallc politicians in New York City to raise a sectional issue between that cily and the resl of the state call for severe condemnation.
The only purpose of their acUvity Is to gain political advantage for their party.
The present campaign was opened last summer in the constitutional convention by William F. Sheehan, former Democratic lieutenant-gov¬ ernor, who threatened that New York Oity would secede and set up as an Independenl state unless the consti¬ tutional limitation on .New York (Mly's representation in the legisla¬ ture were removed. He tried to line up all of the New York City dele¬ gates with him on his proposition but was badly beaten .
A few months later, Mayor .Mitchel tried to organize a .New York City Party "for the protection of the city," as he said, llis plan met with very little favor.
Now, Senator Koberl F. Wagner, the Tammany leader in the legisla¬ ture and Mayor Mitchel, with the support of Democratic newspapers, are laboring to convince tlic people of New York CUy that they are be¬ ing taxed unjustly for the support of the state government. ^
That the purpose of this agitation is purely mischievous is apparent to anyone wbo will stop to think. No other city In the State Is favored more than New York city. No part of the State profits at the expense of New York city. Anything that New York wants It is pretty cerlain to get even though the getting of it entails heavy expense upon the State at large. It was the vote in New York city that carried the referen¬ dum to bond the Slale for $ lul.000.- 000 for a barge canal; outside of New York city the referendum was beaten. And the barge canal witb Us great system of terminals in New York means more to the metropolis than to any other city in the Stale. No city in the State profits more from improved State highways than doee New York and llie two referen- dums calling for an aggregate bond issue of 1100,000,000 were carried in that city. Good roads have drawn thousands of automobile owners to the great city every year and the sums of money left there by these pleasure parties are enormous. Good roads have aswisted in the marketing of produce all over the State and the reduction that they have effected in the cost of transportation has been an important factor in offsetting the general increase in the cost of living. The men who are endeavoring to raise the false l.ssue that New York is taxed for the benelit of the rural portions of the State ought to know theee things. If they do not, because, when the State government was con¬ trolled entirely by the Democrats, highway appropriations were made Just as they are made only on a less economical basis. This year the ap¬ propriations for the maintenance and repair of State and county highways are made on the basis of $6B.'i per mile. In 1013, when the Stale had a Democratic governor, a Democratic Senate and a Democralic Assembly, appropriations for the maintenance and repair of these highways were made on the basis of $1,040 per mile, or nearly twice as much as the pres¬ ent basis with which Senator Wagner is flnding so much fault.
MAUCIOUS^LANDER.
One of the most amazing perfor¬ mances of a private association ever attempted in this state was- the spreading broadcast through the state capitol of a circular attacking by Innuendo the speaker of the As¬ setnbly, the president pro4em of the Senate and the chairmen of the fln¬ anoe and ways and means commit¬ tees. The Bureau of Municipal Re¬ search of New York City which Is responsible for the circular has not sufficient standing before the public for Its views on the mann»r in which
Within ten days after the primary election on April 4, the real work of organising for the coming campaign wlll be under way. With the organiz¬ ation of the couuty committees will come the organization of the judicial, congressional and senatorial commit¬ tees which, in districts comprising more than one county will be madf up of two members from each assembly district and will be chosen by the re¬ spective county committees comprised with the Judicial, congressional or senatorial districts. The following provision for the organization of these committees is contained in the rules of the Republican State committee:
"If a Judicial, congressional or sen¬ atorial district consists of more than one county, the Judicial, congressional or senatorial conimittee shall be com¬ posed of two niembers from each as¬ sembly diMtrict and .-jiiall be chosen by the respective county committees in said districts at the first meeting of said coininiltee«j prescribed by law af¬ ter Sept. I'S, IllM, and biennially tliereafter al the meeting prescribed liy law for the organization of coun¬ ty committees: tbe iiiemhers of said committees from the a.ssembly dis¬ trict compri.sing tiie counties of Ful¬ ton and Hamilton shall he chosen at a joint meeting of the county Cdiii- niiltees of .said counties.
"When a Judicial disirict. congies- sionai diMtrict or senatorial district is coterminous with or le.ss thau the liniitH of but wholly within an en¬ tire city or county, the members of the county committee residing in sucli Judicial district, congressional dis¬ trict or .senatorial district sliall con¬ stitute the judicial disirict, congres¬ sional district or senatorial district cominittee. "
Tbe State Commiltee al.so will meet for organization wllhin ten da.vs after the .April primary and at this meeting the presidential electors probably will be .selected.
CONSTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION.
In line with the recommendation in Governor Whitman's message that the construction of the Mohansic state hospital and the New Y'ork Slate Training School for Boys at Yorktown be abandoned. Senator Hrown and Assemblyman Law have introduced a bill to provide for the selection of a site for a state hospital near .N'ear York City but not on any watershed from which potable water is taken for any municipality. The bill provides for a conimission of three menibers to select the new sitte and decide what shall be done witL the old ones on which the state has.'spent $1,:!!!•_',000. The Mohansic ho.spital and the Yorkiown school were de¬ signed primarily for the accommoda¬ tion of New York City inmates and the sites wor6 .selected near New York on that account. .New York City making uo objection. The rea¬ son for their abandonment is that the New York City authorities, or some of them, are afra.id that thc sewage of the instltutio/ns will pol¬ lute the Croton waler supply of the city. What to do with the sites re¬ mains for the commission, provided for in the bill, to determine. The A'orklown school never has had any inmates .ftnd the Mohaitsic hospital has had only seventy-flve so uo par¬ ticular hardship will be worked to the state's institutional inmate popu¬ lation by their abandonment.

it Is the patriotic duty of Repub¬ licans to elect the next President of the Cnited States and to choose a majority in the popular branch of Congress.

All the direct tax agitation came from Governor Glynn's surrender to the so-called experts who put off tbe payment of obligations. Governor Whitman had to meet these deferred payments plus the cost of government under his direction. That made a heavy tax a year ago. He had also extraordinary expenses like the cen¬ sus and the constitutional convention. This year the State police measure if adoiited would add half a million to tlw budget. There is a general de¬ mand for libeial appropriations for the National Guard as a means of pre¬ paredness. The governor ia anxious that agriculture shall be liberally treated.

EXTRAVAGANCE IS AT HOME.
For every six dollars that the tax¬ payers of New York City pay loward the support of the state government this year, they musl pay J'.M toward the support of their own city govern¬ ment, which makes the claim of Sena¬ tor Wagner and .Mayor .Mitchel, that New York City is unjustly taxed to help out the country districts, look very much like an attempt to divert the aitention of the New York City taxpayers from extravagance at home
in other words to "draw a red her¬ ring across the trail" of their own extravagance.

THE ART OF ADVERTISING.
DODGING THE ISSUE.
Says a Democratig paper: "The stale is confronted witli fhe proba- lilllty of another direct state tax. the Republicans having signalized their lirst year by Imposing one, tlie flrst tax of the kind levied in the state for years."
In view of the fact that in 1911, the Hrst year of the Dix administra¬ tion, there was levied a direct state tax of 16,000,000; in 1912, the sec¬ ond year of the Dix administration, there was levied a direct etate tax of $11,000,000 and in 1913, the one year of the Sulzer administration, there was levied a direct state tax of $7,700,000, the statement (luoted above Is silly.
ADVERTISING PAYS.
It is most gratifying to THE NAS¬ SAU POST and no doubt is to all other newspapers to have an adver¬ tiser write or come in and say, "My dvertlsement In your paper laat week, brought me several new customers," but when a new advertiser just opening a new place comes In and says "more than a dozen different persons came In my place last week and said that they saw my adver¬ tisement In your paper, and came In to make purchases and get acquaint¬ ed," it shows the value of our columns as an advertising medium.
This is the experience of Frank E. Corwin, who just opened the Eagle market on North Main street.
Mr. Corwin Is a hustler and no
Scientific research In every phase of life has become of such fiinda¬ menlal necessity tbat almost every i*jue iu business has had to succumb to microscopic examination of the ex¬ port. .N'othing aeenis to have attained to a perfect solution tintil the focus of the master brain has -penetrated the minute deiails which make up any given subject, and the report which follows Is taken as a conclusive reasoning of correctne.s.s. This report is generally accepled by the inter¬ ested class as the goal desired.
Put there is one subject which has as many varied issues as there are men in business. This is the art of successful advertising. The day of tlie country store, where everybody assembled to discuss lown topics and to purchase iheir needs, is past, and even the town paper has had to awak¬ en from Us stereotyped lethargy, and enhance the advertising columns in such a way that the merchant can see some returns for the good mOnev he has promised to pav for havin.g his name iu print.
And this is not all bv anv means boniething more than the name, the address, and the kind of goods sold IS needed to attract the interest of the Iniended purchaser, and lure his footsteps pas« the competitor, until he purls with some loose change and larger amounts which find their way into your particular cash register
Students of this art must be as changeable in tactics as the zephyrs of wind, and as pliable as the hang¬ ing willow, and the newspaper man or advertisement writer who can plc ture halos of succe.ss around his solic¬ itations for the business man's patron¬ age, with a fair degree of good re¬ turns to the merchant, is the on« who will have his advertising columns teeming with lively and interesting information in the displaying space which his client orders.
The science of advertising is be¬ yond the pale where the merchant considered he was merely helping the publisher to pay expenses by taking space In his columns. Advertising is as much a necessity today to the suc¬ cess of the former as to the latter, but there must be a willingness of both to study and comply with the art of succe.ss in this matter. No greater mistake can be made by either than to think that stereotyped advertise¬ ments, appearing exactly the same without change, issue after Issue month, month in and month out, will result In any good.
When publishers realize it is to their credit to allow the advertiser to frequently change the wording and appearance of the space occupied, and to urge them to do so. and when merchants are willing to pay a nomi¬ nal sum extra for the time It takes to niake these changes, then, and only then, will botli ends meet for each other's succeas.
This kind of advertising is the goal to which THB NASSAU FOST le aim¬ ing, and Its advertisers are aaked to send in their changes as often and promptly as their contracts permit.

The Colonel's friends discount the serious effect tbis would nalurally have- u|ion delegates, know¬ ing full well that party men are party men and must remain so. other¬ wise the political death warrant au¬ tomatically seals their fate. Tactical political lines are about the same in all parties, and nol unlike rabbit run¬ ways In that they are nalurally fol¬ lowed despite the presence of the liorsehair noose and hent sapling.

.Assemblyman Roo.sevelt split a half-breed convention in l'tica. in 1SH4. and Compelled it to divide the dclegates-at-large with the P^dmunds men. whose banner he was hearing Ihat year. The splitting of a Repub¬ lican national convention ought to lie comparatively easy and its seizure no more complicated a problem Ihan tliat of tbe Panama realty finest, for instance. Blaine accomplished very mueh lhe same thing in that same year of '.X l and completed the disconi- liture of the .Arthur machine by pick¬ ing its shining lights for such posi¬ tions of prominence as state chair¬ men, making them hostages, as il were, for the good conduct of .Arthur men generally.

The petty magistrates measure up pretty small in a big city and particularly in Brooklyn. The term "judge" is frequently a misnomer for "jackass," of which kind the State of New York has its full quola. If our judiciary is held in more or fess contempt, it is the acts of its misfits, such as this, which inspire it and magnify the value of the recall.
If this sort of tbing continues, pe- destrianism, will shortly supplant gasoline exercise, and the equine who.se extinction is threatened will be restored to his primordial popu¬ larity, as it were.
How plunged In poignant grief human kind may be is known only to tho.se of the species who aspire to be the conservators of its morals.

McHarg Is neither hazy on holy writ nor human histiiry, for lie knows that no rich man ever bought his way into heaven or purchased a Presiden¬ tial nomination. He is simply gani- hliing on Colonel du Pout's Ignorance of that immortal truth: a busy busl¬ ne.ss man cannot be expected lo know everything. The du Pont lioom isn't a dirigible but a paper affair, filled with hot air. When It bursts, as It will, tbe Child's restaurants will again be¬ come the favorite resorts of ils pro¬ fessional political promoters, once more back on earth after their bal¬ loon trip. The puriflcalion of politics demands that thc General be separat¬ ed from hia dro.sa. McHarg will suc¬ ceed in accompSishlng this If success Is possible. His Is really a great work for Good Morals. He is a bene¬ factor of the G. O. P. in disguise. Un¬ like Villa, du Pont has two good legs which he can pull.
Where formerly it was von Tirpitz it is now von Capelle. The vons may come and the vons may go, but wlil the same old submarines go on for¬ ever?
There Is menace to the Barnes ma¬ chine in the fact that the Colonel and Ellhu Root have lunched together. Eons ago when the former broke into New York politics, he had the sup¬ port of the latter and the twain did together smash the old Jake Hess ma¬ chine In the allk-stocklngest district of the entire State. The dread sus¬ picion will not down that they are planning another surprise for in¬ trenched ones.
After the Mexican situation Ls cleared up (If, indeed, it ever Is) there Is still trouble ahead for us. John Basset Moore tells the New, York Republican Club that Japan has flxed her eye upon us and brodds upon war¬ fare.

Yes. Colonel, the trials and trlbiila lions of an editor are many and bur¬ densome. To be an editor and at the same time a good man is well nigb Impossible. .Many men bave borrowed or stolen the stub of a lead pencil and tried It, but beset with temptations that attach to no other trade on earth, they have fallen. Tills eternal holding up the mirror of life to one's readers becomes irksome In¬ deed.
But why be troubled about vuhjects for consideration? Why not occasion¬ ally consider the lilies of the fleld which toll nqt neither do they spin nor worry of the morrow but arise with each recurring morn ready and refreshed for whatever the day may bring forth. Sufflcient unto the day Is thc evil thereof Is their motto, and whatever is good enough for them should be good enough for any editor who edits anywhere on thesandswept Hempstead Plains. Subjects for con¬ sideration? Why. they're every¬ where If one will visualize Intentiv his local environment and scrutinize creation as It Is laid before him by the New Vork press each day.

I ask .vmi as a brother editor whether you do not think that a stain has been put uiion the good name of this great city and this great state, whicii we all love so well, by these shameful prizelights. bv the governmeiitai authorization of' them and governmental participation in their infamous profits.
Politicians of this city have often complained of (he dominant influ ence of the remainder of (he state, hut it seems to nie that in moral mat- icrs at least tbis may he a henelicial sit uai ion.
If .New A'ork City cannot save it¬ self from such debasing acts and con- .seqiiencea as these prizefights provide. then llie slate should save tin; city from it.self and preserve the good mor¬ als and good repute of the citv and of the stale.
Do you not ihiiiU ihat the press of .Vew A'ork City and .N'ew York State should unite in an eff(nt to maintain the moral standards of llie coniniuni- ti»t which they .serve, to end this dls- gniOefiil and demoralizing prize¬ fighting, as nearly every other .static in the I'nion has done, lo repudiate this partnership between die state and the criminal and to repeal the law which aiilhorizes it?
If you helieve Ihere should bc a united eftort to these ends. I sliall be very much complimented and very much encouraged In my endeavor if you wlll give some expression to vour sentiments throir^h thi. colunins of niy newspaiierti.
I shall also be iindi.r ohllnations (f yon w ill be so kind as to send me to my personal address any editorials or arlicles wblch my appear in your In¬ fluential paper on this subject.
I liope that If we think alike on these matters, we may work together and accomplish this desired, and 1 be llevp much needed, reform. (Signed) Very sincerely vours
