THE HOUSEWIFE IN POLITICS.
(Ki'prlnted from Editorial Columns recent Issue of Evening Mallj,
The suffrage agitation has
This country has had a surfeit of doctoring and tinkering with busi¬ ness that has failed to give any bene¬ ficial results and is sick of it.
Instead of using all its steam to blow the whistle, the present admin¬ istration at Albany is turning Its steam into the cylinders. The re¬ sult Is a lot of work with very Ilttle noise. A year ago it was mostly noise and not much work.
One reason why George W. Per¬ kins' appeal to keep alive the Pro¬ gressive party is falling upon deaf •ars is that every sane man knows that the only possible result would bc a repltition of the Republican de¬ feat in 1912, from the result of which the country Is praying to be deliv¬ ered.
At the Ellenvllle fair, Edwin Duffey, State CommlHsioner of High¬ ways, said: "The greatest object of the pre.sent administration is to flnd out how to build roads rapidly enough to meet the demand and also to do the work of maintaining them after they have been built at so great •ost." Tbat Is a very modest state¬ ment of policy from an official whose administration has been entirely free from criticism or scandal.

In the course of a soap-box speech In Nassau County recently, a Rock¬ ville Centre suffragist urged wo¬ man suffrage in the inerests of pure food. After telling of a family pois¬ oned with badly canned peas, said: "I can my own fruit and vegetables. Just to show you that I can can as well as campaign, I put up seven¬ teen cans of peas and six jars of rasp¬ berries before I left home today."
When the question time came half a dozen women asked, "How do you can peas?"
The result was that, tlirough efforts, an expert from the United States farm bureau in Washington was sent to Nassau County and all the suffrage clubs huve held canning demonstrations. The Freeport suf¬ fragists led off on August 9, The Lynbrook Suffrage Club entertained a canning party on the 14th, and the Oceanside Club followed suit on the 25th. Canning and campaigning under experts in both lines is the or¬ der of the day in Nassau County.
This sounds like an Improvement! on the old^fash4onfed quilting bea where the women talked about the parson's last sermon and the par¬ son's wife's new bonnet. When the housewives get together in the fu¬ ture to attend to domestic duties and

Four months of steady, hard work is beginning lo show in the closing days of the constitutional convention as important amendments, that have been heard in committee and dis¬ cussed In committee of the whole, some up for flnal consideration on tbe third reading of the calendar. Deliberation has characterized the consideration of every proposed amendment, and, when It is brought to a vote, every member has had full opportunity lo Inform himself re¬ garding its merits.
The Injurious effect of former Qovernor Glynn's vetoes upon the fin¬ ancial condition of the etate govern¬ ment is shown in each succeeding balance sheet of the comptroller's offlce. In the July balance sheet the general fund revenue receipts for the ten months ended July 31, 1915, are shown lo be 110,894,800.47 less than for the corresponding ten monlhs of last year. The most conspicuous item accountable for the decrease is $7,- 002,72.').69 In the receipts from direct taxation, due solely and directly lo Oovernor Glynn's veto of a direct tax bin.
New York City's teachers' pen¬ sion fund Is in trouble and 1500 beneficiaries will receive but 60 per cent, of their August allowance. Opinions differ as to whether this situation is caused by tuo many teachers getting on the list or to the percentage of aalary contributed by the teachers being too small. It Is claimed tbat the taxpayers are now paying four-flfths of all the pensions to policemen, firemen and teachers, and the payment, if met in full this year, would amount to $5,000,000. The legislative inquiry into New York'a flnancial K-ondltion may flnd a way to relieve the situation.
FICTITIOUS PEOSPEBITY.
The country Is resting upon a fic¬ titious and unhealthy economic pros¬ perity—false bulwarks whose with¬ drawal wlll leave It suspended In a peculiarly dangerous position. There was never a more vital necessity of Republican policies, to constitute the tried and lasting supports of the na¬ tion's material welfare and progress. Tbat necessity grows more urgent as time passes, for each week brings tbe irar tbat much nearer its close when '"HAa real problem will confront the

Free Trade England was less preparea tor the fray than any other country, ex¬ cept Belgium, and England was the only Free Trade country, though Bel¬ gium had a low tariff. According to Lord Lansdowne of the British Cab¬ inet, England on July 13 had only 420,000 men "in the European war theatre," and she had made tremen¬ dous efforts to get even that number. That is a small showing when It is considered that in an article written by Austin Harrison, and printed in the London Times, the casualities caused by the war up to July 4 aggre¬ gated 9,000,000 In killed, wounded and prisoners, excluding Turks and Italians, "
THEyRJES~ANblE"ACTS,
During the last presidential elec¬ lion the spell-binders of the Demo¬ cratic party wej^e vociferous in their denunciation of the ruinous effects of Republican policies. The country was on the road to tbe poorhpuse, lashed by the whip and spurs of Pro¬ tection.
The spell-binder's woeful tale of national disaster during Republican rule is now offlcially denied by a bul¬ letin prepared by the Bureau of the Census, the heads of whicb are Demo¬ crats, and published by the Depart¬ ment of Commerce, wblcb Is pre¬ sided over by that militant apostlle of Free Trade, the Hon. William C. Redfield.
Instead of impoverishing the na¬ tion, there was an increase of nation¬ al wealth between 1904 and 1912, eight years of Republican adminis¬ tration, amounting to 75 per cent., aud Mr. Redfleld's Bureau admits tbat tho burden of tbe national debt Is very light in comparison with tbat of otber great nations.

Per¬ kins' appeal to keep alive the Pro¬ gressive party is falling upon deaf •ars is that every sane man knows that the only possible result would bc a repltition of the Republican de¬ feat in 1912, from the result of which the country Is praying to be deliv¬ ered. At the Ellenvllle fair, Edwin Duffey, State CommlHsioner of High¬ ways, said: "The greatest object of the pre.sent administration is to flnd out how to build roads rapidly enough to meet the demand and also to do the work of maintaining them after they have been built at so great •ost." Tbat Is a very modest state¬ ment of policy from an official whose administration has been entirely free from criticism or scandal. of its side Issues, the by-products, ao to speak, which may be suggestive of things that wlll happen when wom¬ en get the vote and sit 4n legis¬ lative halls. In the course of a soap-box speech In Nassau County recently, a Rock¬ ville Centre suffragist urged wo¬ man suffrage in the inerests of pure food. After telling of a family pois¬ oned with badly canned peas, said: "I can my own fruit and vegetables. Just to show you that I can can as well as campaign, I put up seven¬ teen cans of peas and six jars of rasp¬ berries before I left home today." When the question time came half a dozen women asked, "How do you can peas?" The result was that, tlirough efforts, an expert from the United States farm bureau in Washington was sent to Nassau County and all the suffrage clubs huve held canning demonstrations. The Freeport suf¬ fragists led off on August 9, The Lynbrook Suffrage Club entertained a canning party on the 14th, and the Oceanside Club followed suit on the 25th. Canning and campaigning under experts in both lines is the or¬ der of the day in Nassau County.

I Four months of steady, hard work is beginning lo show in the closing days of the constitutional convention as important amendments, that have been heard in committee and dis¬ cussed In committee of the whole, some up for flnal consideration on tbe third reading of the calendar. Deliberation has characterized the consideration of every proposed amendment, and, when It is brought to a vote, every member has had full opportunity lo Inform himself re¬ garding its merits. The Injurious effect of former Qovernor Glynn's vetoes upon the fin¬ ancial condition of the etate govern¬ ment is shown in each succeeding balance sheet of the comptroller's offlce. In the July balance sheet the general fund revenue receipts for the ten months ended July 31, 1915, are shown lo be 110,894,800.47 less than for the corresponding ten monlhs of last year. The most conspicuous item accountable for the decrease is $7,- 002,72.').69 In the receipts from direct taxation, due solely and directly lo Oovernor Glynn's veto of a direct tax bin. New York City's teachers' pen¬ sion fund Is in trouble and 1500 beneficiaries will receive but 60 per cent, of their August allowance. Opinions differ as to whether this situation is caused by tuo many teachers getting on the list or to the percentage of aalary contributed by the teachers being too small. It Is claimed tbat the taxpayers are now paying four-flfths of all the pensions to policemen, firemen and teachers, and the payment, if met in full this year, would amount to $5,000,000. The legislative inquiry into New York'a flnancial K-ondltion may flnd a way to relieve the situation. FICTITIOUS PEOSPEBITY. The country Is resting upon a fic¬ titious and unhealthy economic pros¬ perity—false bulwarks whose with¬ drawal wlll leave It suspended In a peculiarly dangerous position. There was never a more vital necessity of Republican policies, to constitute the tried and lasting supports of the na¬ tion's material welfare and progress. Tbat necessity grows more urgent as time passes, for each week brings tbe irar tbat much nearer its close when '"HAa real problem will confront the PROTECTION AND THE WAR.

According to Lord Lansdowne of the British Cab¬ inet, England on July 13 had only 420,000 men "in the European war theatre" and she had made tremen¬ dous efforts to get even that number. That is a small showing when It is considered that in an article written by Austin Harrison, and printed in the London Times, the casualities caused by the war up to July 4 aggre¬ gated 9,000,000 In killed, wounded and prisoners, excluding Turks and Italians, " THEyRJES~ANblE"ACTS, During the last presidential elec¬ lion the spell-binders of the Demo¬ cratic party wej^e vociferous in their denunciation of the ruinous effects of Republican policies. The country was on the road to tbe poorhpuse, lashed by the whip and spurs of Pro¬ tection. The spell-binder's woeful tale of national disaster during Republican rule is now offlcially denied by a bul¬ letin prepared by the Bureau of the Census, the heads of whicb are Demo¬ crats, and published by the Depart¬ ment of Commerce, wblcb Is pre¬ sided over by that militant apostlle of Free Trade, the Hon.
