REPUBLICAN ECONOMT.
The more Sena-tor Waguer and As- aemblyman Callahan attack the ap¬ propriations for the maintenance and repair of State and county highways the more certain are they to convince the taxpayers of the State of the su¬ periority of Republican administra¬ tion over Democratic administration. Both Senator Wagner and Assembly¬ man Callahan opposed the bill mak¬ ing appropriation for road mainten¬ ance on the ground tbat it was ex- traTagant and was unfair to New York City, And yet, three years ago, when he was majority leader of the Senate, Senator Wagner passsed through the Legislature and a Demo¬ cratic Governor signed a similar bill, whose chief point of difference was that it providea for paying twice as much per mile for the work as does the present hill to which he Is object¬ ing. This is one case in which the Democralic leader's opposition only •ervcH to advertise Republican econ¬ omy.
BAD NEWS TO DEMOCRATS.
It Is going lo require some very fancy figuring for the Democrats to be able to manufacture a financial issue in this State for the fall cam¬ paign. A year ago they insisted that the direct Slate tax was an outrage but the voters, recognizing tbe neces¬ sity for extricating the stale from the flnancial muddle in which the Democrats had left it, differed with them by a very large majority and returned a big Republican majority in the Assembly. Having cleared the State of its "hang over" obligations, the present administration will not levy a direct tax thia year. This Is good news to taxpayers, bolh Demo¬ crats and Republicans, but It '3 the worst kind of bad news to the Demo¬ cratic spellbinders.

.-,.—A pint of standing water may breed a hundred.
6—GET RID OF STANDING WATER.
7.—A little oil—any kind will do—spread on water that can't be drained, will kill them before they grow up. ,„.
8,—Window and doors screens are worth the trouble, where mos- (lultoes are bothersome.
9.—The baby suffers moet—protect It by netting—-7 cente a yard,

Time, and the performances of the Wilson administration have made that pledge very popular wilh the voters of the county and they are going to see that it is lived up to.
Democratic leaders arc said lo be seriously considering taking the Baltimore platform bodily for 1916, Well, why shouldn't they? Il never has been used and is as good bk new.

The evening was devoted to card games and dancing, after which a delightful supper was served. The guests were: Mr. and Mra. J, W. Birch, Joseph Birch. Mr. and Mrs. KrnnKt Miller. Mr. and Mrs. Kdward Angel. Miss Bessie Angel. Mr. Orton Smith. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ives, Mr. W. C. Mepham, Miss Wella Mepham, Mr. and Mrs. Martin L. Wright, Mr. and Mrs. William Wood, Misses Lina Miller, Florence Church and Zena Clark.
The modern, six-room house erecled by Marlin G. Abbene on the corner of Brooklyn and Oakwood avenues, has Just been completed and is ready for occupancy.
The arbor day exercises at the school Friday morning were well al¬ tended and very much enjoyed. The prayer was offered by the Rev. Mr. Littlebrandt. There were recitations and class singing, and after the ex¬ ercises a tree was planted in the school yard. Vocal solos were ren¬ dered by Misses Nancy McCord and Jennie Midmer. which delighted their audience.
The Pinochle Club surprised Mrs. Harry Greenwald with a farewell party Thursday evening at the home of her mother, Mrs, John Carpenter, of Brooklyn avenue, where she has been residing since the departure of her husband for Rosendale, N. Y.
She left Sunday morning with her daughier to join him, and her many friend.s regret her going exceedingly.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Valentine. Mr. and Mrs. Henry OfTerman. Mr, and Mrs. Eugene Carpenter, Mr. and Mrs. George Car¬ penter, Mr .John Carpenter, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles C. Offerman, and Mrs. J. Offerman.
OBITUAET. Milt Florence Bolz.
Florence, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Frank Bolz. died at thc fnmily home on Merrick avenue Thursday night from valvular heart trouble. She suffered from the ravages of thi.s dis¬ ease for several years but was ex¬ pected by her friends to outgrow or overcome It as years advanced.
Last February her mother gave a party in honor of her eighteenth birthday anniversary, and the occa¬ sion was of much interest and enjoy¬ ment by Florence and her friends who attended. The excitement may, or njay not, have occasioned an unex¬ pected attack, with which she grad¬ ually grew worse until the end.
Miss Bolz was born in New York, where she resided with her family un¬ til about three years ago, when they moved to Merrick In the hope that the change, and country life, might at least benefit her, even though a course might not be affected. Upon her arrival in Merrick she became much Interested in the growth and care of flowers and vegetables and, although she was unahle to give much personal attention, she watched their growlh and development with much gratification and pleasure. During her life in Merrick, by her .sunny, lov¬ ing and ChrlBllan disposition, she be¬ came endeared to, and beloved by all who had the pleasure of meeting and knowing her. and a wide circle of friends extend their most heartfelt sympathy to her mother and family.
In this .sad affllcticn, it is difficult to understand how God, In his wis¬ dom, can see that ll is for the beat to remove one whose virtue of mind and heart could not help but brighten the lives of others and help to form and mould characters for good and noble life work.

John P.

There appears to be consid¬ erable merit in the suggestion. Up¬ holding the honor of the country is not an issue between the two parties.

Senator O'Gornian's announceinent that he will not be a candidate again i.s Just another indication of the sagacity of the senior senator from New Vork. Senator O'Gorman is one of the brainy men of hie party and evidence has been accumulating that acting as the connecting link be¬ tween President Wilson and Tam¬ many is nol to his Uklng. Also the prospects are that the next United States Senator from New York will he a Republican.

This school is being con¬ ducted wilh very great success, and the idea of establishing a similar school at Jamaica was proposed and received with much approval.

Democratic newspapers that are working overtime to eelect the Re¬ publican candidate for President might better .save their energy.
