FRIDAY. APRIL 21, 1916.
A TRIED REPUBLICAN.
"Resolved, That thlH committee in confidence of the country's anx¬ iety for a return of the Republican party to power, urges the Republi¬ can National Convention, and es¬ pecially the delegates Irom New York, to select ax our candidate for preeldent a tried Republican In whose record and character the nation can rely as a guarantee of wlBc statesmanship in the man¬ agement of foreign and domestic affairs."- The Ilppubilcan State Committee.
ecus Items were not a departmental charge; construction bill, which, as its name Implied, was to provide for new construction and repairs to State Institutions; and tbe re-appropriation bill which reapproprlated unexpended balances of former spproprlstions where the work contemplated had not been completed within the life of the appropriation.
Under tbe new system of making appropriations, in place of separate bills, the classlflcatlon of appropria¬ tions Is carried oilt by dividing the bill Into seven parts.
The object of every Item in the bill is clearly set forth even down to kitch¬ en helpers in State institutions. Any one desiring to know what the State's money Is spent for can ascertain down to the last penny by examining the bill.
FACTS WAGNER OVERLOOKED.
PRISON SCANDALS ENDED.
With the appointment of James .Vl. Carter as superintendent of State prisons It l8 confidently hoped that the scandals that have been a stand¬ ing disgrace to the State during the past three years will end. In March, 1913, for refusing to appoint Charles F. Rattlgan warden of Auburn prison. Col. Joseph K. Scott, superintendent of State prieonp, wa.s removed by Governor Sulzer. Scott was a pen¬ ologist of national repute and was brought from Massachusetts In 1905 to take charge of the Elmira Refor^n- atory. The fact that Scott was a Democrat and timt the managers of the reformatory were Riepubllcans was not considered either by the ap¬ pointing powers or the appointee. Six years later a Demt>cratlc governor, John A. Dix, chose Scott to he the head of the prisons and the appoint¬ ment wae accepted by qualifled prison authorities as an excellent one. Scott's removal by another Democratic gov¬ ernor was a grave administrative mis¬ take as has been amply proven ana the situation in the prisons has re¬ flected no credit on the Slate. After a lapse of three years, the one prison in the State that Is pointed out as a model le Great Meadow and the one warden who has kept his charge free from the scandals which have black¬ ened the others Is Wliilam J. Homer. GreatMeadow pri.son was opened hy Colonel Scott and Warden Homer was appointed by Scott not because he was a Democrat or a Republican but be¬ cause he was a competent prison man. Governor Whitman has given Superin¬ tendent Carter the opportunity to re¬ store the prisons to the high plane that they occupied under former Re¬ publican administrations and up to the time that Governor Sulzer med¬ dled with Ihem, and the reasonable expectation ts that he will make good.
EVERY ITEM SPECIFIED.
Ity for greater eare In. the prepara¬ tion of the estimates for appropria¬ tions for the running of the state gov¬ ernment.
The State's appropriation hill this year is a document of 649 pages, car- /iee about 7,500 Itein.s and makes ap¬ propriations totaling »,-)2,7Rl,131.13. The only appropriations not Included are for highway maintenance and re¬ pair which total |5,871,:i47.18 mak¬ ing the aggregate budgetary appro¬ priations $.'>8,652,478.31.
Attached to the bill is an analysis of its contents and a comparison with tbe executive budget and the 1915 appropriations which show at a glance Oust where Increases or de¬ creases have been made.
There also is. attached to the bill a summary statement of appropria¬ tions and the provisions made for Hnancing expenditures tberefrom. This statement shows that to meet the appropriations of $58,652,478.31 there are net resources of 155,352,- 813.92, leaving a balance to be pro¬ vided of 13,299,664.39.
Measures now pending in the Leg¬ islature are estimated to produce 16,850,000 if tbe Increased excise tax ie all paid to the State, or S4,975,000 if half of that tax Is given to the lo¬ calities, which, with the revenues al¬ ready provided, will leave a balance in the State treasury at the end of the flscal year.
Prior to this year the bulk of the appropriations were grouped in four Caneral bills, the appropriation htll making provision for the running of the State departments and Institu¬ tions; the supply bill, providing (or deflciencies In the running of depart¬ ments and Instltutlone and mtseellan-
Senator Wagner of New York City, the Democratic leader In the upper house of the leegislature. In opposing the bill appropriating $3,874,000 for the maintenance and repair of county highways, declared 'that during the Democratic administration the
amount for maintaining highways of about the same mileage never had ex¬ ceeded $2,000,000.
In making that statement Senator Wagner simply repeated the argu¬ ment made by Assemblyman Callalian of New York City, tlie Democratic leader In the lower house and Ignored plain facts that were easily al his disposal.
When the bill wa« attacked by As¬ semblyman Callahan in the Assembly three weeks ago, Asasemblyman Wheeler pointed out that thc bill provides $0.".,'i per mile for 15,000 miles of highways. Discussing the compar¬ ative co«t of repairs to the hlgliway.s under this adminiatration and under Democratic administrations. Mr. Wlioeler said: "I was curious to learn wliat the Democrats did in this mat¬ ter in 1913 when tliey liad all three liranclies of the Stale government, a Democratic governor, a Democratic senate and a Democratic a.ssembly; and when the Cily of New York had tlie power to shape appropriations, and this is wliat I found: That they appropriated by Chapters 636 and 6-1 ti of the laws of 1913 $3,464,470 for maintenance and repair of 3,217 miles of State and county highways, or 11,04 0 per mile; very nearly double tiie amount we are now appropriating for the same purpose."
That is a very specific answer to a very general charge. Tlie Republi¬ cans are not spending more money on the State highways than did the Democrats. They are spending only about half as much.
Ali of the above faets were avail¬ able to Senator Wagnei-. Had lie tak¬ en the trouble to look them up, he would have saved himself from fall¬ ing into serious error.
TRUE TO THEIR WORD.
When the present State adiiiini.s- tration took office, owners of cattle slaughtered hy the State were wait¬ ing more or less patiently for the payment' of their claims. Some of tiiese claims were three years old but appropriations to permit their pay¬ ment had been vetoed by Democratic governors. Today the State is pre¬ pared to pay every proved ciaim up to March 1, 191(;. Commlaeionor Wil¬ .son bf the Depariment of Agriculture has un appropriation of $23."),000 available for that purpose, the Legis¬ lature having passed and Governor Whitman liaving signed a bill to that end. That Is good administration and is just another of the business-like methods that characterize the pres- < nt state government.
STILL IN THE HOLE.
For revolutionizing the entire sys¬ tem of taxation In this country tbe WILson administration will have to answer to the taxpayers of the coun¬ try next November. Heretofore a tariff .suited to the needs ot thc coun¬ try with our Internal revenue collec¬ tions sufllcled to pay the running ex¬ penses of government and left a sub¬ stantial surplus. Today a free trade law, plus an Income tax (of which New York pays a quarter) plus an emergency tax, erroneously named a wartax, falla to pay the running ex¬ penses of the government and must be supplemented by new direct taxes.
ADVOCATES PUBLIC CRITICISM.
Secretary of State Hugo is making some telling speeches pointing out the importance of everv citizen taking an interest in public questions. In an address before the Western New York Newspaper Association at Rochester, he said: "American governmental ac¬ tivities are conducted in public and it is our best security* for the satisfac¬ tory working of our Institutions that the people's servants should act under the public eye and be subject to pub¬ lic criticism. The subject of his ad¬ dress waa "Publicity," and he paid a high tribute to the modern newspaper as an Important factor in securing and maintaining good.government.
TAXES GALORE.
The Wilson administration can point with pride (If it is so disposed) to the fact that It has "soaked" the taxpayers of the country with more new varieties of taxea thart any pre¬ ceding administration within the memory of the oldest voter.
Seventy-six out of eighty-seven cases of typhoid fevar which occurred In a recent outbreak have been traced hy the United Mfites Public Health Service to infected milk. Had the first cases been reported to a trained health officer the outbreak could have been stamped out promptly. When will we learn that disease prevention is sure and cheap?

NEW DyEjsny
HAS OPENED OFFICES ON BROOK¬ LYN AVENUE—HAS BEEN CON¬ DUCTING EXPERIMENTS FOR LONG PERIOD.
I'lie Brooklyn newspapers announce in their recent isues that Franli Neville of Freeport. tormerly in the theatrical business a« a manager and known to actors and actresses all over the United States, has discovered a process for making dyes which may result in tlie creation of a great in¬ dustry lo this country. .Mr. Neville, they say. has opened the oHice« for¬ merly maintained by tlie John J. Haiiciall Company at 0 and 7 Brook¬ lyn avenue, lihder the name of the .Neville Process Dye Company. "Nev¬ ille Is a graduate chemist. He claims that he has completed the necessary e.xperiments and that they have all withstood the severest teats.
"The sliortage in aniline dyes in this counlry as a result of the war started Mr. Neville, who had lieen working for several years at odd job.s wherever he could procure them, at work on the dye problem. His ex¬ periments were made along tlie heacli on the Great South Bay. and his analyses were made in a makeshift laboratory. Installed by himself. He believes tliat he will he able to restore the proces.«es used before aniline dyes were known.
"Mr. Neville has interested a num¬ ber of wealthy chemists in his work, witli the result that he Is receiving sufilcient financial support to market his dyes. Tentative plans are already started for the erection of a factory in F'reeport."

HIGH TARIFF FENCE.
Preparedness in England is taking the form of a high tariff fence be¬ tween her markets and the industrial centres of the central European pow¬ ers with which ahe is at war. Her navy can keep oft the enemy in arms but it can't keep out the enemy's goods afterthe war is over. And the present free trade tariff law that Is now operating in thle country can't keep out those goods, either.
OOOD COMMON SENSE.
There is nothing spectacular in the changing of theend of the fiscal year from September 3 Oto June 30 but it is good administration because it al¬ lows more time for and the opportun-

TO BE MODELED ON FAMOUS FRENCH COMMUNITY AT VER¬ SAILLES—TWO MILLION TO BE EXPENDED. I
A movement for the CBtablishment of a fashionable art community mod¬ eled after the famous Versailles com¬ munity that flourished under Louis XV of France,-is behind a real estate transaction now under way at Port Washington, l,. I., which Involves the expenditure of more than $2,000,- 000 and the purchase of a 300-acre tract on the Port Washington shore front. This is considered one of the most important real estate transac¬ tions ever undertaken In the vicinity of New York.
One of the most beautiful sites on Long Island hae heen chosen for the enterprise, and It Is reported that the estate of Martin W. Littleton Is to be included in the community.
Among the men to form the cor¬ poration which will flnance the scheme at the outset are former Sen¬ ator William A. Clark, of Montana; George Randolph Chester, the au¬ thor; Frederick MacMonles. the sculptor; Penryn Stanlaus, illustra¬ tor; Carlton .M. Pranard. art patron; Martin W. Littleton and Commodore J. Stuart Blackton.
Thc principal building will be a tliree-story apartment structure 1,200 feet long, in which the members of the comniunity will reside. It will be built of mariilp. with a wide terraced balcony facing the bay, Theae apart¬ ment will,he modern In every respect, some er|uippcd for studio work and others for living rooms.
The plan f)f providing meals has not yet lieen (volved, but it is un¬ derstood that tliere will be a central restaurant as well as a heating plant for the entire huilding. ' One of the most effective features of the estate will he a large marble entrance. The roadway leading up to thc main building will lie flanked on either side witii statues. An expert land¬ scape gardener will be commissioned to lay out the grounds.
A corporation has been formed of tlie men already mentioned, who will lake charge ofthe development of the enterprise. When the flnal plans have rteen announced, there will be issued 2.000 sliares of stock. E^acli share will he worth $10,000 and the holder of a sliaie of slock will own. in perpetuity, an apartment in the building. None of the apartments will he rented.
"THE YELLOW PASSPORT,"
This feature provides for Miss Voung in tiie' eharacter of Sonia Sokolofi', one of the strongest char¬ acterizations in which this heautiful emotional actress has appeared.
From its first scenes depicting a massacre at Kiev, Russia, by the dread "Black Hundreds." the story of "The Yellow Passport" grips the tense spectator with tense fingers.
Her family destroyed in the mass¬ acre and her.self persecuted hy the leadc!' of the nfttdeious band. Sonia Sokoloff. in desiieration, obtains from the police a license such as is issued to the Russian women of the night. With tills incense as her pro¬ tection she endures the Ignominy of living as a supposedly immoral wom¬ an, while in reality leading a pure life.
At last she succeeds in escaping the vigilance of her arch-persecutor and comes to America to pur.siie her operatic ambitions.
Succe.ss. wealth and love come to her hand, but just as her fingers are ahout to close upon iier happiness the long arm of circumstance stretches forth to snatch it away. Her lover and her family discover the se¬ cret of the "Yellow Passport."
In the end Sonia triumphs, but not until iier soul has been racked with the torture of suspicion and false ac¬ cusation.

Another Lodre of Elki.
The formation of the Rockville Centre Lodge of the Elks, which was merely a topic of common interest for several weeks, now sebms to he a reality. The 100 or more Elks, be¬ longing to the Brooklyn, New York and Freeport lodges living in this village, are said to be considering the matter seriously and it ts expected that a charter will be requested soon. A meeting was held in the Clare- mont Inn, recently, and steps were taken to organize the local lodge.

MARIE DORpTtTtHE STRAND.
During the week beginning Sun¬ day, April 23, the Strand Theatre will present Marie Doro In 'The Heart of Nora Flynn" as the feature photo¬ play. This screen drama was written especially for Miss Doro by Hector Turnbull and Jeanle MacPherson. Miss Doro's last etage appearance was In the all-star revival of "Diplom¬ acy," made by the late Charles Froh¬ man. In 'The Heart of Nora Flynn" Miss Doro takes the role of a nurse maid in a family of wealth, where her endeavors to bring order Into a quarreling household placee her un¬ der an unjust suspicion.
The usual program will surround the feature, presenting a short com¬ edy, a cartoon comedy and news pic¬ tures ot current events. In addition there will be the Paramount Pictp- graph offering several novelties.

Assembled In the mam nail, the schol tablet was unveiled by little Miss Minnie Thompson, granddaugh¬ ter of Mr. A. Greensword, senior member, in point of time of service, ot the above school board.
Then the visitors were conducted to the fine auditorium which seats over three hundred people, and In less than five minutes there was need of the S.R.O. sign and a numher stood dur¬ ing the long exercises.
On the platform there were about a dozen members of the Grand Army from the Mott Post, the different speakers and the menibers of the Board of Education.

Tlie enlire program was earried out without a hitch or an unpleasant in-i eident. The presidenl of the board, | Mr. Polhman. was courteous and exec- i utive. and dispatched the liusiness witli celerity. |
The Geltysburg address was recited ! by a representative young American, j standing in front of a bronze tablet , bearing tho.se iiiiniortai words. And ' wlial a splendid inspiration for the scliool' j
."Mr. L. W. Hawkins of .Albany rep¬ resented the Stale board of education. He showed a keen interest in all that' pertained to the school building, and; all the educational interests of the vil- ' lage. He remained over an entire day to be present at this gaihering. In his fine address he said that America I seemed at about that point in its na-{ tional growtli tiiat a youth would be, when fairly jiasl the age of adoles¬ cence, and he had juat begun to lind the legitimate ii.-;: of hands and feet. | While in this condition, no one could ' expect a fine spiritual developnient. That might come later with loss of self-conscioiisne.ss. He hoped it might come to this countrv In rich ' measure, and that the public schools must be one of the greatest promoters of such growth. I
.Mr. R. H. Mayland had a double duty to perform in speaking for the Grand Army and aiso as a representa- ! tive of the Board of Education of Kieeport. The writer thinks he should lie sentenced to the guard - house for an hour for one thing that I
grasp and take with them, something that wil help build up that fine spirit¬ ual life that Mr. Hawkins said, and justly I think, that we all lack and need so much. Then, indeed, will a flne school building justify Itself to the community that labored and toil¬ ed for its erection and maintenance." An old soldier remarked while go¬ ing home, "If our martyred Com-
twould have lifted the roof and iplit the walls? No; because we are old,
taint up to date, that's why."
In conclusion let us say that the building seems to be all it should be, and all tbat the little red school house of a generation ago was aot. It only seems just that we should give the names of the men who have achieved the physical results as shown in the flne buiiding, and all that stands tor the comfort and con¬ venience ot teacher and pupil: Architect.

The orchestra was very fine and their rendition contributed much to the pleasure ot the occasion. It con¬ sisted ot Mrs. B. Lytle, Messrs. Mel¬ vin Golden, Leonard Hubbard and Fred Grimm.
A rising vote of thanks was given them, as well as to the handful of vet¬ erans present, and also a round of three cheers for all concerned. Every¬ one voted It a flne succese and hoped that the school will work out all that its most hopeful advocates have plan¬ ned tor Its good and usefulness.
As one talks with the earnest and enthusiastic superintendent of schools, Miss Gertrude M.

She came to Roosevelt as a teacher nearly four years ago, and has been superintendent the last two years.

Let us go back a little. We do not need to refer to the oldest inhabitant to obtain the information tbat a place very near thle flne new huilding was called "Rum Point," and deserved the horrid appellation. Verily are we glad that the old order changeth! Twelve years ago the district employ¬ ed one teacher, and one of her chief dulles was to draw her salary. The frame building, near which tbe new building has been erected, contained eight rooms with a capacity of over 320 pupils. This was outgrown two years ago and outside quarters hired
