The chief trou¬ ble with the critters is that they •don't most generally vote as they spout.

Duffy O, K.'s Naasau. -Stale High¬ ways Commissioner Edwin Duffy en¬ joyed his trip to Nassau thoroughly. He was, he told his entertainers, mucli impressed with the road con- dlttons generally in tbo county. To Supervisor Hiram R, Smith, espec¬ ially, who invited liim here and lo the Republicans and Democrais who helped enterlain him, he expre.ssed his warmest appreciation, Commis- aioner Duffy, by the way. is a Cort¬ land County Democrat, who in early life was an intimate of Gov, Whit¬ man. In his home county he is re¬ garded as a citizen who knowe some¬ thing of the rudiments of politics as well as the basic principles of good road building.
Peter Pearse Is hardly the name to he expected for President of a Re¬ public on the banks of the Llffey. It was one of several slips of the Sian Peiners in their unfortunate out¬ break on Easter Monday,
A Soothing Eesay.—^It ia commonly "reported that the Democrats of Free- port of every description and breed, good and bad looking, lame, halt, blind, althletic and even sporty, read The Nasau Post'.s essay upon the Postmastership, last week, with in¬ terest If not with complete satis¬ faction. It certainly was Illuminat¬ ing, they agreed, and It wae soothing. Odds are freely offered by Republi¬ cans, however, that nobody will re¬ produce It and mail it around the ¦county. Meanwhile all Democratic ¦eyes are glued to the O'Gorman pigeon hole in Washington, D. C. Meanwhile, Democrats who stroll occasionally over to his committee room come away convinced that Free- [port's next postmaster will B. Smith. Savvy ?
Knocking at the Gale.—In the Democratic party the chief flght for the offlce of Sheriff will be between Frank E. McCahlll of Olen Cove and Henry Seaman of Port Washington. The former Is a member of the Demo- «raltc County Committee re-elected last week after a spirited contest,

Stut-t-e-r-ing. - Former District Attorney William Travers Jerome's stuttering story Is allowed to pass the Nassau censor because it Is good.
"A stutterer in a restaurant eaid to a waiter:
" 'B-bbring me a p-p-plate of beef.'
"The waiter, who also stuttered, answered:
"W-we're out of b-b-eef, sir.'
"The guest, thinking he was being mocked, rushed at the waiter to knock him down, but another patron Interposed hurriedly:
" 'D-d-don't hit him,' he said, 'He's not mocking you. He s-s-stutters the same as I d-d-did before I was c-c-cured.' "
Religious. — F"'or sometlilng like seven weeks, the new law has been operative In New Jersey requiring In all the publlc schools of the State the reading dally of five verses of the Old Testament. Il must be a good law for the promotion of Godliness, good fel¬ lowship, the giving of the glad hand, for It Is reported that not a discordant peep was heard In the pre-prl- mary preparations of the New Jersey Democracy—something that never oc¬ curred before In the history of the party in that State.

A charming picture of Sagamore Hill is that of the Brooklyn Eagle's reporter. Its singing birds (with never a raucus guacharo among em). Its student's library, its trophies of the chase, the ancient clock, the sud¬ den figure framed In the doorway, the entry of the Colonel beaming genial¬ ly on the assembled mouldere of pub¬ llc thought. In manner simple and cordial, the most democratic of men —the same old Theodore of earlier association, only more so now that the restralts of public life are no longer imposed, who startled his party In the onyx-lined capltol by stamping upon the practices and pre¬ cepts of some of Its professors, and terrified the Tammany-boys with his picture of the punishment In store if they undertook to toss him In any blanket. It was the picture of the statesman In teniporary retirement, enjoying Ufe, loving his fellows, an attractive figure In the Nassau land¬ scape, seeking a preeidentlal nomi¬ nation, if indeed such Is his quest. In a manner that excites neither the rid¬ icule nor the condemnation ot good men.
How different a picture whloh im¬ agination paints of other pursuits of the presidency by other men of other days and even of our own day. If the published reports are true, Nassau county may have another political Mecca toward which men of varying walks iu life but chiefly lowly, of varying political views but largely with no cnvictiohs at all, may pres¬ ently wend their way. For the Del- awareian, du Pont, the general, has bought him an estate only a few miles as the crow flies from the Roosevelt retreat on the outaklrta of proaalc Oyster Bay, The name which la to make it famous ia aa yet unknowu, but thitherward, in the mind's e.ve will travel an unending throng.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOWS LOSS OF 3.816—FIGURES GIVE IN¬ TERESTING GUIDE TO DRIFT OF PUBLIC OPINION.
A comparison of the total enroll¬ ment for the year 1914-1.\ and 191.5- If. in this State furnishes some in¬ teresting guides lo tlie drift of pub¬ lic opinion.
The Repujjlican enrollmeni shows an increase of nearly lOd.OOO and thai Is the only increase of any mo¬ ment that is «hown by any parly.
The Democratic party shows a loss of :'.,S10, the Socialist party a loss of 7:i4 and the Progressive parly a loss of :',0,7iH. or about forly per cent.
The grealesi gain is made by the Republican party, the greate,^l loss ie made by the Progressives.
The Republican gain Is nearly si.\ly times as large as the combined gains of the Independence League and the Pro.hibition parties, the only parties e.xcept the Republican making gains.
The Increase In the Republican en¬ rollment of mrTi-ir, over the enroll¬ ment of 1914-ir.,
Studied from any angle thp enroll¬ ment figures point to the success of the Republican party in the coming campaign. The great gain in the Re¬ publican enrollment shows that the voters of the State are turning to the Republican party.
Last year the Democratic enroll¬ ment was 20,000 larger than the Re¬ publican, This year the Republican party Is 70.000 greater than the Democratic,
Following is a comparative state¬ ment of the enrollment by parties for the last two years:
