AESWERIKG THE ftUESTION OF PREPAREDNESS.
Some interesting figures on the question of preparedness were col¬ lected at the Panama Pacific Exposi¬ tion at the (Jrand ("entral Palace in New York City.
About twenty thouwand visitors to the exposition registered their opin¬ ions.
On the general subject of prepared¬ ness the vote was favorable in the ration of about fourteen to one and the same ratio prevailed in the an¬ swers favoring a larger army and a larger navy.
On the (iuestion of approving President Wilson's plans for increas¬ ing the army and navy the vote was clo.ser, ahout one and a quarter to one In favor.
On the question of enlisting as a volunteer in the event of war the vote was overwhelmingly In favor, nearly 350 to one.
The questions and the .specific vote on each follow:
Are you in favor of preparedness: Yee, 17,540; no, 1,286.
Are you in favor of a larger army? Yes, 17,490; no, 1,463.
Are you In favor of a larger navy? Yes, 17,740; no, 1,230.
Do you consider President Wilson's plans for increasing the army ade- qpate? Ye.s, 14.720; no, 12,180.
Will you pledge yourself to serve one or two months if Congress passes the Continental Army hill? Yee, 1,051; no, 1,116.
Will you pledge yourself to enlist as a volunteer in event of war? Yes, 17,030; no, 49.
AN IDLE DREAM.
It is au idle dream to think that the tariff can be taken out of politics. If the country was all for protection or all for free trade such a result might be brought about. But with the Democratic party standing for a tariff for revenue only, and the Re publican party pledged to a protec¬ tive tariff, how can the question he kept out of politics? Just as soon as a Democratic nominee runs for Con¬ gress, he attacks the tariff as the surest way of getting puhlic atten¬ tion. Will the fact that we have a tariff commission stop an American manufacturer or wage earner from
"It was not an easy task that con¬ fronted the Republican offlcials and because a record of progress makes less Interesting reading than does one of disruption, the newspapers have had less interesting accounts of the affairs of State than those of the time of Dix, Sulzer and Olynn, Perfection has not been attained. Abusee which had their origin in the far distant past and which have entwined them¬ selves about the arms of government like a wild vine about some sturdy tree, still linger and call for pruning. Many of these are of such long stand¬ ing that custom and precedent have caused the Impression that they are sanctioned by law, hut they are sure to be uprooted and destroyed hefore this adminlKtration has concluded its work."

appropriations (appropiHatlont to meet obligations Inctirred under the Glynn administration but left to be paid for by tbe Whitman administra¬ tion), and to provide the State's reg¬ ular 1915 contributions to the sinking funds provided to pay the State's bouded Indebtedness. Tbe more one studies ^e famous "hereafter" mes¬ sage with which Governor Olynn ac¬ companied his veto of the direct tax hill in 1914 (for the passage of which he sent an emergency message to the Legislature), the more one is forced to concede that it wae "aome mes¬ sage," Its weak point was that it was a trick and the early discovery that it was a trick made a large in¬ crease In the RepuTHiCan vote.

A DEMOCRATIC ISSUE.
Tlic-re is no issue lietween the two great political parties on the subject of intelligent preparedness. What¬ ever issue there i« on this question is right inside the Democratic party part of which believes in prepareo- ness and part of whicli does not be¬ lieve in it to the extent tliat there Is an open schism in the party. There is an issue between the Republican and the Democratic parties on the question of the protection of American Industries and American workingmen. The Republican party believes in pro¬ tection and the Democratic party be¬ lieves in free trade and in spite of the menace of a certain industrial in¬ vasion of this country at the close of the European war, the Democratic national administration sticks to Its present free trade law which exposes the nation to country-wide disaster.
DEMOCRATIC METHODS.
The Democratic method of abolish¬ ing the direct State tax was Intended only to appeal to the taxpayers until after election and result iii continu¬ ing the Olynn administration for an¬ other two years. It had a string tied to it in the form of a public state¬ ment by the Governor in which he de¬ clared that the State must expect a direct tax "hereafter." In the event of his election, he wpuld he In posi¬ tion to answer any complaints against a double tax in one year hy referring to his stateiuent and say¬ ing, "Why, I told you tiiere would have to be a direct tax." As the re¬ sult of the complete exposure of his subterfuge, Governor Glynn was not elected, and with the advent of the present Republican administration, the ex-governor and hie political asso¬ ciates began loudly to commiserate the taxpayera on the fact that they would be forced to pay a direct tax, just as though they hadn't known it all along. The tax levied in 1915 of necessity had to include the amount that should have been levied in 1914 hut was not; it liad to cover the for¬ mer Governor's famous "deferred"

MAXSON FOR COMMITTEEMAN.
Henry L. Maxson of South Long Beach avervue, Freeport, has an¬ nounced himself as a candidate for Republican County Committeeman of the Ninth Election District. The an¬ nouncement seems to have been well received in Republican circles In the Town and County.
Mr. Maxson, a lawyer by profession, and associated with Ju.stlce of the Peace Walter R. Jones of Henipstead. is well known in Freeport. He has served ably as village trustee for the past year. He is an able lawyer and painstaking husiness man.
.Mr. Maxson is more than anything else a representative man in his dis¬ trict. He is of the calibre of men wanted and desired on the County Committee. We wish him success. He will acquit himself with honor if elected.
The settlements made by the Court of Claims and the Attorney General of claims for damages along the line of the barge canal that will reduce the total estimated award« nearly ten million dollars are actual perform¬ ances by the present State adminis¬ tration that mean more to the taxpay¬ ers than a lot of gaudy promises.
A very pretty wedding occured at the home of Mrs. William Nelnerman lof Clinton avenue. Roosevelt, on Sat- lurdav evening, Feb. 19th, at seven o'clock, when Miss Eve Parlsen (a j sisier of Mrs. Heinerman) became the I bride of Mr. George W. Weckerle of I Munson. The bride, who was given in marriage by her brother-in-law, Mr. William Heinerman, was very prettily attired In white taffeta and shadow ilace. She was attended hy Mrs. Made- iline Pender of Baldwin, who wore a charming gown of pink crepe. Mr. I Weckerle had as best man Mr. Walter Pholzer of Munson, Archdeacon Duf- ! fleld of Garden City performed the 'ceremony in the presence of the im¬ mediate families of the contracting parties. After the refreshments were served, Mr. and Mrs. Weckerle de¬ parted for their newly furnished home I in Munson. Numerous gifts of cut 'glass, silver, china and linen were I received.

(By Special Corrcapondent) -A series of luncheons are being given by the "Willing Workers" in honor of Mise A. Valentine, whose en¬ gagement to Mr. (3. Wieland haa been announced. The flrst was beld at the home of Mrs. Willard Clark; and tliis Wednesday at Mrs. George F. Hughes. The next at Mrs. H. Heinzerling. The society is limited to ten members and they have included a Cornell reading course among the many earnest things
! they are doing.
I The mystery has been solved at last! It is not a bungalow that John
I Cameron is building in the Camp
I Grounds, back of Carl L'Hommedieu's residence, but a garage for Carl's seven-passenger touring car, which he intends purchasing aK soon as gen¬ tle Spring is with us once more. Now, don't smile, because we mentioned "Spring"; it's coming, and if yoa doubt it, just stop in at Harry Zein- er'e store and look at the illustra¬ tions on the new packages of seeds he has in stock. Makes you feel like getting busy wilh the shovel and the hoe.
Talking about seeds reminds us that the height of our ambition has been, ever since we can remember, to grow flowers that will look just like the ilinetrations on seed packages and in seed catalogues. We have not suc¬ ceeded as yet, but we are going to try again this year.
As Mr, L'Hommedieu is still unde elded as to which make of automobile he prefers, here is an opportunity for

.More thrill.s attend tlie watching of a conflagration than in watcliing an army of masons and carpenters con¬ struct a new building to replace the one burned. The present State ad¬ ministration does not furnish the thrills offered by the administration of Dix, Sulzer and Glynn because it is building up instead of burning up.
"We heartily endorse Woodrow Wilson as a President who has caused to be fulfilled the promises of his party."—Democratic platform adopt¬ ed at the Syracuse Convention.
What promises? Surely not the one that the President should serve for only one term? Or did that prom¬ ise mean only one term at a time?
