JUSTICE TO SUPERVISOR SMITH.
Kfpriiii'd from The Ijuily Long l.il:in(l Kuiiiici of lu.'Hilay, Ocl. 12, I'Jl'i,.
ll this paper, last week, in speak¬ ing of the increaae In lho State lax. It was stated that the Towu of Hemp- Bteal vvas to blame for it under cir- cumalauces there set forth. Th« ar¬ ticle indirectly affected Supervisor Smitii and did liiiii an injustice, which was not intended. The Supervisor wa in no way to lilame, and we wish to make this exculpation as empiiulic as possible. Mr. Sniith is an excellent Supervisor, now and always, and the town of Hempstead is prosperously and intelligently governed under his administration. The town never had a better Supervisor.
BARGE CANAL BENEFITS,
What beneflt may I expect to de¬ rive from the completion of the barge canal? This Is the question which many are asking themselves.
First, the completion of the canal system will serve to greatly reduce the freight rates throughout the State. Second, a very large percent¬ age of the State's total population lives within a fwe milea of the canal's banks, while a larger percentage lives within eaay communicating distance with the canals and *it is cheaper to ship goods to these people hy a com¬ bination of canal and motor truck than it la to ship direct to these peo¬ ple by rail. Third, the barge Oanal is the natural outlet for trafflc from west to east and from the Great Lakes to foreign ports. Ail this will serve to attract manufacturers to thc State and to points along the canal. What beneflts the immediate locality is 'bound to affect points more distant, which means more population and this in turn means higher value nn real estate. Fourth, the State is con structing terminals at all important points along its waterways. These terminals will be among the flnest in existence and will be equipped so as to meet the needs of the district served. This will be further induce¬ ment to the manufacturer, who is by this means enabled to take advantage of better docking facilities tban he is anywhere else in the country.
All these are beneflts, which the barge canal wlll bring. Why not vote for the referendum, hurry the work along and at the same time spare yourself a heavy direct tax?
they strive to adduce only such evi dence as will hest serve their inter¬ ests, withholding everything that would or could possibly help the other side, thereby deceiving the court i\i well as violating their oath "to tell the truth, the whole truth and noth¬ ing but the truth" and under such difflcult and trying situations it is the duty of the court to see to it that all the evidence on both aides la brought out.
In Stephen Cailaghan, the Repub¬ lican and Progressive nominee and candidate for Supreme Court Justice, wc have a man peculiarly qualifled and Htted to discliarge the duties of sucli an iniportant otflce.
He has grown up, studied and practised law in New York City and Brooklyn, laboring with, against and amongst the most prominent and dis¬ tinguished members of tlie Bar and men of his day and time.
In his profession he aciiuired liis might, to his profession he turned for inspiration In the use of it, and to it he dedicated his life.
He has met with temptation to de¬ part from the patli of honesly but only to conquer and add to an exper¬ ience that has resulted in a wealth of knowledge and a virtue of mind and heart, emulated and envied not only by his colleagues but hy laymen as well; and he has thus become distin¬ guished as a man, a lawyer and a just judge.
We urge the election of Steplien Cailaghan to the office of Supreme Court Justice, regardless of party lines or affiliations.
"KEEP AN EXPEBIENCED JUDGE ON THE BENCH."
One of, if not the most important— yea, vital questions, which the voter is called upon to consider and determine at the coming election, ie the seleci tioi^ of a Supreme Court Justice.
A Supreme Court Justice must pre¬ side at all trial terms of the Supreme Court, the highest court of orlglnai Jurisdiction in our Empire Stato of New York.
A Supreme Court Justice has power even to convene the Court of Appeals, tbe hishest court of appellate 'Juris¬ diction in our Empire State.
A VERY IMPORTANT ELECTION.
No more important election has been held in this State within the memory of the present generation than the one for members of Assem¬ bly to be held on November '2.
To make the new Constitution ef¬ fective through the medium of statu¬ tory law will be the duty of the Leg¬ islature of 1916, one house of which wiU be elected in November. The new Constitution provides for the entire re-organization of the State govern¬ ment. State offlcers now elected will, under the Constitution, become ap¬ pointive and many departments now independent will be consolidated with other departments or abolished alto¬ gether. The amount of statutory law to be made at the coming session will he enormous and will call for the best efforts of the most capable men that can be elected.
If the work of remodeling the State government is to be completed along thc lines laid down it is up to the voters to complete the work begun a year ago by electing a Republican majority to tlie Assembly of 1916.
The re-election of Thomas A. Mc¬ Whinney to the Assembly is absolute¬ ly imperative.
THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTION.
The proposed new constitution marks a long forward step. It repre¬ sents the best thought of the most distinguished men in the State. It offers an unusual opportunity for leadership. It creates a new standard of responsibility. Its effect is national in Importance. We have every rea¬ son to believe that the voters will cast aside party advantage or minor con¬ siderations of differenca and aid In its adoption.
Concisely It is a long step toward the abolition of Invisible government. It virtually guarantees order and simplicity In the administrative or¬ ganization of the State. It permits of great economies in the cost of State government and provides for speedier and less expensive Justice In private law sulta
We believe these reforms would Justify any voter in voting for this constitution regardless of almost any¬ thing else which it might contain.
red last Monday afternoon on the oc¬ casion of a conference of several prominent residents of the Nassau county and members of the National Guard at tbe Elks dub in Freeport. The conference was called by Assem¬ blyman McWhinney for the purpoae of formulating plans for the imme¬ diate organization of a reserve regi¬ ment.

Will '^tYou Have a Comfortably Warmed Home This Winter?
Do you actually know if your fur¬ nace is in proper condition to heat your iiome efficiently and economi¬ cally this winter? .
In any c-ase, it will only cost you a postal card or a 'phone call to flnd out.
A word from you now may save you and your family no end of annoyance and discomfort during the winter.
Should your furnace (steam, hot water or warm air) he in good condi¬ tion, an experienced furnace man, whose business it Is to flnd out will frankly tell you so. If, on the other hand, soot has collected on the sur¬ faces and clogged the flues, it will waste a surprising amount of fuel, besides greatly reducing the efficiency of your heater, as soot is one of the greatest non-conductors of heat known.
The small cost of having your fur¬ nace thoroughly cleaned will be sav¬ ed many times over before the end of the winter. Another advantage which such a cleaning affords is the laying bare of weakened parts, poor chim¬ ney flues, leaky smoke pipes, etc., which would otherwise not be discov¬ ered until actual cold weather seta In when there Is often delay In scurlng the necessary parts, to say nothing of the inconvenience of having to shut down your heater just when it is needed.
Many houseowners will undoubted¬ ly take advantage to secure a "heat Insurance policy" for themselves and their families this winter. If you send us a postal or 'phone at once, you will be sure to receive prompt as well as careful attention. Very truly yours,
O. E. U. REYNOLDS.

This it that new $885 Studebaker! The new car that has been so much talked of as the bett car that Studebaker ever built. And if thie picture that we show here ever began to do justice to the car itself, it would be more than enough merely to say: "$885 buys THAT car."
But no picture can ever adequately illuttrate the car's lines, let alone its quality. And so we are forcsd to fall back on the old, time-worn "see it with your own eyes." However, "seeing it" will be surpris¬ ing, we know. For
K has GREATLY INCREASED POWEE!
The new'motor, enlarged to 3T4 Inclies In hore and <1'»I''»-^ li'K "?/al''f: ii,t.roven.fnt l.i ciefl&c, developc 40-|.'- lioiye power. More POWKU for that unexpected twist In the htll, for the quiclt getaway In city trafflc, for steady mlle-eatlng speed on the opin road.
It hat INCBEASED CAPACITY AND COMFORT!

ery where. lloors open wider. Cushion, are deeper and softer and bull
up on longer coi springs--wider, too. 'Driver's seat U divided, •^'l'^ •"
