GOOD LEGISLATION.
"" An air-tight check upon the hasty cohsideratlon of appropriation bills that carries with It a guarantee of the fullest publicity in connection with the consideration of such measures is contained In the proposed amend¬ ment to the constitution offered in the Senate by Senator Brown. This aiiicndment provides that every ap¬ propriation must be included in the apnual appropriation or supply hill (making a legislative budget) unless passed by a two-thirds vote of the members elected to each branch of the Legislature, or retiuested in a message from the Governor, it also provides that the appropriation or supply bill cannot be passed unless it shall have been under consideration at least three separate Legislative days in printed form as flnally reported by a standing committee or as amendea on one of such days. The consider¬ ation of each of these bills on three separate legislative days after it has been flnally reported by a standing committee guarantees ample time for the fullest examination and dlscub- aion. Such a method of procedure would absolutely bar the slipping in of items at the last moment because, after the committee reported it, it would have to be considered in open aession of the Legislature on three separate days and any amendments to it would bave to be made with the knowledge of all, and the consent of a majority, of the members.
The balance sheet of the State Comptroller aa of Jan. 31 shows that tbe State's general fund revenue re¬ ceipts for the four months of the flscal year ending on tbe above date were $21,902,827.52 as compared with 115,706,857.27 for the corresponding period of the preceding year, an in¬ crease of 16,195,970.25. It also shows that the general fund expenditures were 114,195,687.78 as compared with 116,519,974.04, a decrease of 12,324,286.26. This bali^nce sheet fur¬ nishes a good illustration of the pro¬ gress the State is making toward the restoration of a working balance In the treasury.
A year ago the State had to borrow $6,000,000 to pay running expenses because a preceding administration had exhausted the working balance in the treasury. The State will not have to borrow for any such purpose this year.
INADEQUATE TABEET.
"The Democratic tariff now in force lias proved wholly inadequate either to provide revenue for the support of the government or to protect Ameri¬ can labor and American industry upon the farm, in the factory or in the mine. Before the outbreak of the European war the disastrous effects of this tariff were already felt through¬ out the land. The war has obscured these effects, but Immediately upon the restoration of peace they will be felt with redoubled force." This quo¬ tation from the Republican platform comes back to the reader like an echo of his own thoughts based upon his own personal experience during the two and a half years that the present Democratic tariff hae been in opera¬ tion.

SOUTH IN THE SADDLE.
The chairmanships of seventeen of the most important committees of the House of Representatives are held by representatives of eight Sonthem States who will practically direct the country's policy as outlined by the Sixty-fourth" Congress. The revenue^ of these eight Southern States in the flscal year of 1913, according to the government reports, amounted to 163,000,000, which is only a trifle more tban one-half of the revenue receipts for that year In the single State of New York which amounted to 1101,000,000. Of personal and corporation Income these eight South¬ ern States paldif 4,222,444 while New York sute alone paid $27,638,743 or nearly seven times as much. The total voting strength of these eight South¬ ern states In the presidential election of 1912 was less than one-^lxth more than the voting strength of New York Statai^one and 400,000 less than the number of votes cast In the States ot Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Coleman of Pennsyl¬ vania who haa been studying the situ¬ ation flnds that the present national administration Is a sectional admin¬ istration with the South In the sad¬ dle as in ante-bellum days and domi¬ nating the activities of government.
' HUOO BEDUCES EXPENSES.
The State received over $300,000 more trom the automobile tax In 1915 than In any previous year since the tax was established and it spent to collect that tax $69,013 lesa than it spent in 1914 to collect a smaller tax. The receipts Increased from $1,618,- 060 In 1914 to $1,940,627 in 1916, while the cost of ooUeoting decreased from $313,476 to $244,463. With¬ out claiming perfection for the pres¬ ent system of collecting this tax. Sec¬ retary of State Hugo bas certainly made good progress in the right direc¬ tion In the year he has had the l^and- llag of the matter.
BABQE CANAL GAINS. During the season of 1915. the Vtate eanals carried a total tonnage -^ BMurly two millioa tona valued at -<d<NMr $10,000,000, an increase ia value over the shipment of the pre- <«adlnt aeaaon of $S,«tS,eM. Had
STATE SAVING MONEY. The claims bureau of the Depart¬ ment of Public Works has settled 661 claims totaling $9,787,657 for $1,- .'.«l,!)Oi. On 393 other claims total¬ ing over six and a quarter million dol¬ lars the Court of Claims has made awards amounting to $708,741. Bight barge canal claims aggregating over two million dollars received awards amounting to $835,319. Seventy- seven claims on account of the barge canal Improvement amounting to $1,-. 192,631 were dismissed without any awards whatever. These results In¬ dicate that claims against the State are receiving Intelligent and Just con¬ sideration and the State Is eaving some money.
BEWAILING PAPEBS.
Those Democratic papers that are bewailing the fact that the present Legislature Is not grrlndlng out a big batch of new laws would wail equally loud if the grist were greater. The Legislature of 1913, Democratic in hoth branches, which sat throughout the year, and fliled four large vol¬ umes with new laws failed utterly to convince the voters that its work had any special merit.
The wisdom of intelligent deliber¬ ation Is becoming apparent to an In¬ creasingly large number of people.
G. 0. P. PLATFOBM.
The Republican platform adopted at tbe Carnegie Hall convention de¬ clares for "complete preparation for the common defense, economic, indus¬ trial and flnancial as well as mili¬ tary." That one sentence is a plat¬ form in itself. It points out with re¬ markable clarity what this country has not had since the present national administration took over the reins of government on March 4, 1913.

PLAN STATE ROAD ON MASSAD'SSODTHSIDE
HIGHWAY CONNECTING ROSL- DALE AND MASSAPEQUA. TO RELIEVE MERRICK ROAD CON¬ GESTION.
if the approval of the Stale High¬ wav Commission can ue obtained, work will shortly be started on a State highway to run from Rosedale to Mas¬ sapequa, touching most of the villages on the south shore of Nassau county. It wlll cost about $200,000. Durln^' the past few months Supervisor Hiram R. Smith of Hempsteadand Assembly¬ man Thomas A. McWhinney have been m consultation with Commissioner Edwin Duffey of the State Highway Department regarding the establish¬ ment of this road. Commissioner Duffey has ppromlsed to vleit Nassau county this month to go over the pro¬ posed highway.
Some time ago Supervisor Smith discovered that in 1909 the board of supervisors of Nassau county recom¬ mended to the State highway depart¬ ment a route for a State highway on the south side of Nassau county, which was to connect with another highway In Suffolk county, running from Amityvllle to Riverhead. Ac¬ cording to Supervisor Smith, an ap¬ propriation of $200,000 was made for that part of the road which was to be built In Nassau county, and the money Is ready to be used for the work. Part of the road was built In Suffolk coun¬ ty, but the work was discontinued when the Nassau county line was reached.
Most of the proposed route will be over highways already laid out and wlll run most of the distance to the north of Merrick road. One object of Supervisor Smith in urging the es¬ tablishment of the road Is to relieve the congestion which now chokes the Merrick road, especially on Sundays, when thousands of automobiles travel along the road.
The new route as mapped out Is to begin at Rosedale, runs along Val¬ ley Stream avenue, crosses the Mer¬ rick road between Rosedale and Val¬ ley Stream, runs through Hendrick¬ son avenue at Lynbrook, then goes to Lakeview avenue at Rockville Cen¬ tre, thence to Seaman avenue at Bald¬ win and Freeport. Then along the Bah.vlon Turnpike at Merrick Into Grand /avenue at Bellmore, tben straight through Wantagh and Sea¬ ford to New York avenue at Massape¬ qua, where It joins Grand avenue in Suffolk counly. Very little property will have to be condemned If the rotite is approved.

Motorcycle Exchange.
Freeport has been in need of a flrst class, up-to-date and thorougly mod¬ ern motorcycle and bicycle exchange for some time. Under compe^tent management, Tbo Freeport Motor¬ cycle Exchange has been opened on Sonth Main etreet, almost directly opposite the post ofllce.
Reliable machinists and repair ex¬ perts have been employed to care for the repairing department. The flrm will carry a full line of the standard goods.

VtMP B. B, TEAM BEIITS HEMPSTEAD
CONTEST EXCITING FROM START. HEMPSTEAD LEADING AT THE CLOSE OF FIRST HALF—SCORE. 27 TO 19.
L.ist Saturday night the Lawrenct- Cedarhurst flre department team de¬ feated Hempstead in a fast and ex¬ citing game, score, 27 to 19. At the end of the ftrst half Henipstead led score, l."> lo 9, but in the second half the Lawronce-Cedarhurst team scored 18 points to Hempstead's 4. Their in¬ ability to cover up their opponents was responsible for Hempstead's defeat, although at times they showed streaks of playing wnicu would have defeated the best of teams. Malone, the center'^of the Hempstead team, was the star'-of the game, with Wynn of Lawrence a close second.
Next week the Empire Big Five of Brooklyn will visit Hempstead, and as they were defeated by a score of 24-22 earlier In the season, this should be an exciting game.
HUTCHESON SUED BY WIFE.
"Saw Him With Another Woman," She Says. How she left a theatre party in Brooklyn, one night last November, to race over to the "White Light" dis¬ trict of Manhattan and view, from the shadow of a doorway, her husband leaving a hotel with another woman, is told by Mrs. Anne Hutcheson, of 451 Macon street, in papers filed with Supreme Court Juetice Jaycox in a suit for divorce she has instituted. The action Is against Louis C. Hutch¬ eson, an auto salesman, garage owner and society man of Hempstead, L. I. No defense ha* been entered, Hutch¬ eson married the plaintiff at Baldwin, L". I., §ept. 28, 1908.
Neierhborhood Workers.
Mrs. F. E. Story, the president of the Neighborhood Workers, at the meeting on Monday expressed herself as very anxious that the, children of the Saturday class might become In¬ terested in gardening at their several homes, and with that end In view, Mrs. Brailhwaite, who had charge of school gardens at her former home, at Walden, N .Y., addressed the ladies. She told them how the work was done, also that the results had been most satisfactory. In some cases, showing decided Improvements, in the condi¬ tion of the yards as well as the care¬ ful and successful cultivation of flow¬ ers and vegetables.
Believing the old adage, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," the ladies of the Neighborhood Work¬ ers are planning to have refreshments and games to take up the greater part of the time next Saturday. The society is pleased to note the co-operation of the merchants of the village. One druggist having given a $20 order le be called upon as needed, and a gro¬ cer donating a half a barrel of flour. Mrs. Scholey reported much fllth and squalor In some of the homes visited, and children neglected hy their par¬ ents, conditions, which if not correct¬ ed, would lead to immorality and crime. Several ohildren of school age had been found on the street during school hours, and reported to Mr. Moon,
Miss Bnhl Entertaiaji.
Miss Ethel Ruhl entertained at her home Feb. 26 In honor of her twelfth birthday anniversary Games were enjoyed and refreshments were serv¬ ed. Among those preaent were thc Misses Dorothy Cousins.

Old st Pstrick's in New York was the flrst church In America to receive th^ name of the Irlah saint lu cor¬ nerstone was laid in 1809, on Jnne 8, and tbe completion of the bnlldlng was delayed by the war of 1812. The cen¬ tennial of the laying of tbe comerptone was celebrated about seven years ago.
The cburch was dedicated on May 4, 1815, though the steeple and sactisty bad not been built. Up to that time the cathedral had cost $90,000. The flrst diocesan synod was beld in tbe church on Aug. 28, 1842, when Bishop Jobn Hughes was tbe head of the dio¬ cese. It was at this time that religious intolerance was at its height in Ameri¬ ca, and at one time tbe members of the parish were called on to arm them¬ selves and stand in the churchyard to defend their cathedral, which they did. preventing nn attack by a mob which had gathered.
The diocese of New York was ele¬ vated to an nrchdlo<'ese In 1850 by Pope Pius IX., and about six months later Rlsho|k. Hughes was made an archbishop, the Investiture taking place in St. Patrick's before a notable as semblage of prelates.
It was Archbishop Hughes who lie- gan making the plans for a newer and greater cnthedrnl for New York, out of which grew the present ediflce In Fifth nvenue.

Ireland's Color and Arms.
Au Inquiry, asking what are the reai national color and flag of Irclmid. was addressed to thc Ulster Uing of urms in Dublin, and the following is a copy of the reply received from that gentle man:
Oflice of .Ariiis-Uublln Castle.

Scotcli Should Revere St. Patrick. Scotchmen of the present day, say some Irishmen, are false to their his¬ tory in the small respect they ahow to St. ratrlck's day. St, Patrick Is as much their patron saint as he is the patron saint of thc Irish. All through Scottish history the names of Patrick, Bridget and Columcillo were held In equal lunior In Ireland and In Scot¬ land. These names were given to children at baptism; they are seen to¬ day In the names of places; churches were called tiftcr them, and they are preserved in family names equally in the two countries.

The cen¬ tennial of the laying of tbe comerptone was celebrated about seven years ago. The cburch was dedicated on May 4, 1815, though the steeple and sactisty bad not been built. Up to that time the cathedral had cost $90,000. The flrst diocesan synod was beld in tbe church on Aug. 28, 1842, when Bishop Jobn Hughes was tbe head of the dio¬ cese.

Scotchmen of the present day, say some Irishmen, are false to their his¬ tory in the small respect they ahow to St. ratrlck's day. St, Patrick Is as much their patron saint as he is the patron saint of thc Irish. All through Scottish history the names of Patrick, Bridget and Columcillo were held In equal lunior In Ireland and In Scot¬ land. These names were given to children at baptism; they are seen to¬ day In the names of places; churches were called tiftcr them, and they are preserved in family names equally in the two countries.
