Radiate—To send out rays or beams, as from a centre; to shine; to 1111 with brightness.—Stormouth's.
Bmboldened by the fact that one swallow does not make a spring, nor two a summer, and confident, despite tbe warm weather of last week, that I shall (or some time to come continue to be the centre of attraction to all wbo visit the Mineola court house, I conttnue to radiate. If I radiate my personal reflections as well as heat, tttat is perfectly natural; for In the very nature of things how can 1 en- 4nr« tbe long and weary vigils with¬ out reflection upon the many things I have heard during the day, and the newspaper extracts I have heard com- jnented upon?

On Tuesday, April 4, the people -will bold their spring primary, and elect their county committeemen, their delegates and alternates to the national conventions of the aeveral politloal parties and the national committeemen for the great State of New York. The polltlciaus wlll have ilttle to do with the matter, yes, very Ilttle. But as the devotee of the God- giveu primary wlll discover. If he hasn't already, that that Ilttle is (lulte sufficient for his practical purpoae. Two delegates and two alternatetj aie to be chosen in this congressional dis¬ trict. The Democratic people wlll probably pick one of them from that portion of the district which is In old Queens, and the other from Suffolk. The Repuhlican and rrogrebsive peo¬ ple may or may not do the same thing; probably uot. This much hav¬ ing been settled, the people wlll go their way and wait for primary day when they will renew their poli¬ tical activities hy going to the polls and voting and hanging around all -day and half of the night to learn "how things comi! out." Meanwhile the wise men, called politicians, have been doing the thinking for them and making the proper .selections of can¬ didates. The people have another think coming If they think the pri¬ mary Is the panacea for all the ills they think they have suffered at the hands of these wise mun. To vote one must enroll. From a quarter to a third of the people enroll, the rest are a first reserve who have neglected or refused to mix in with politics, lost thc opportunity of helping to reg¬ ulate things, and they Just let out a roar after It Is all over. Somebody has called them tbe "fool reserve." What Is the sense In, the people hol¬ lering if they won't help themselves?
Herr Pritchard, whose boulevard proposition was lost the other day will, bis friends say, have a boulevard yet and he won't have to cross the town lands to build It. There may be something In this.

It took courage to attempt to per¬ suade the Long Island Railroad to see things as Long Island people see them, hut we are sure the raliroad has open¬ ed Its eyes. We mean to keep up the flght for lower freight rates and pas¬ senger faree, even If that flght takes us to the public service commission. Hempstead Republican. Apparently the "kibosh" which Colonel Peters put upon the curiosity of The Republican's editor concern¬ ing the Internal and family affairs of the Long Island Uallroad, by with¬ drawing his railroad advertising, is not to be permanently effective. Pei- sonally. 1 am sorry the railroad open¬ ed its eyes, accompanied aa the pro¬ cess was by automatically closing ita pocltetbook to the editor.
I hear no more ahout those articles ill The Repuhlican impeaching the I railroad's luaiiagement. They were readable and The Repuhlican would ' liave lost none of its readers if It had j continued their publication. It was a tactical inistaite for the colonel to cut out tile railroad advertising.

The illness of Brother Pearsall just at this juncture is to be regretted, for an 111 man cannot push his pen so vlg- oroufily in retort as a well man. Any¬ body who fights for the taxpayer Is entitled to sympathy and support. There wlll be no blood shed in any controversy between Colonel Youngs and Colonel Pearsall, hence our hope that they wlll "lay on, MacDuffy," and may the man who best represents tho taxpayers win. Indeed, we'll mix metaphors hy expressing the hope that lie'll win in a canter!

GENIUII IGI
FOR THIRD TIME IN TWO YEARS RAILROAD CORPORATION DE¬ FEATED ATTACK ON ITS BIG CONSOLIDATION PLAN.
For tlie third time In the two-year legal flght, the consolidation plan by which the New York Central Rail¬ road secured the Ijake Shore and Michigan Southern received court vindication and the attacks of Clar¬ ence H. Venner, a New York finan¬ cier, were defeated when the court of appeals at Albany on Monday threw Venner's complaint out of court.
Venner, as a nominal stockholder, tried to have $70,000,000 of 4 per cent, bonds, wlilcli were exchanged for 314 per eent. Lake Shore collat- eial bonds, declared illegal aud their l.ssuance enjoined. The special term of the supreme court dismissed his complaint as without merit and the appellate division of the supreme court for the second department af- flrmed that judgment. Venner ap¬ pealed again, and now liis case has again been dismissed.
Judge Cardozo, of the court of ap¬ peals, who wrote the latent opinion, fully upheld the New York Central's actions, in acquiring the Lake Shore, which Venner sought to obstruct. The victory is an Important one for the big railroad system.
When, In 1898, the New York Cen¬ tral bought controlling stock of the Lake Shore, paying for it with Its own 3 Xji, per cent, bonds and deposit¬ ing the' stock as collateral security, the promise was made tliat there would be no merger of the two roade without consent of 75 per cent, of the bondholders. In 1911 consolidation plans were launched and bondholders wereasked to accept an exchange of new bonds on the consolidated prop¬ erty at the same rate of interest. The consent of 75 per cent, of the hold¬ ers was not secured, and they were then offered 4 per cent, bonda; on this basis more than sufttclent number of the bondholders agreed to permit the hig merger which was approved by the public service commission. This one-half of 1 per cent, interest meant, according to Venner, $350,000 addi¬ tional expense, but Judge Cardozo In his opinion pointed out that this was "more than offset by the saving ef¬ fected by the consolidation."
The court of appeals upheld and vindicated every detail of the New Vork Central's actions as attacked by Venner. In another action, also pressed by Venner', tbe court upheld the validity of the $24,000,000 "equipment trust agreement." rerus- ing to dissolve the trust.
In addition to losing every point that he advanced to obstruct the rail¬ road, Venner muet pay the costs of the long litigation.
