Thll Is in reply to the recenti> asked queBtlon—What are the politics of the Naaaau Poat?
The Nasaau Post li straight Repub¬ lloan in ita polltlca and baa been 8iso« ita preaent editor and proprietor took foil poaaeaaion in September of laat year. It ia devoted to tbe high- eat principles and best interests of the Republican party In Tillage, town county, state and national atfalrs.
The NaHsau Post haa never before made an editorial atatement of its po Mtical faith, believing that its contin¬ ued consistent and whole-hearted sup¬ port of the Republican Party as a whole and of its individual members haa firmly PBtabllshed Its Rppubli- canlam.
tbe Utt«r altematlT* aad ebMrfolly] wish Old Nick OodapMd in Uia uae | of hia Urtat.
The President and hia real friends will rely next year on a straight ap¬ peal to tbe votera, rather than to tbe Democratic organisation. On thAt kind of campaign they are staking their future.—Waahington correspon¬ dence, Brooklyn Eagle.
That kind of campaign worked well in ring-rlddcn New Jersey aome yeara back, bot there are 47 other states In the Union aa unlike New Jersey as a pea la unlike a pumpkin. History may, of conrse, repeat itaclf, but the chances would setn to be about as good as a player filling a straight flash, tbe odds against it being, as Dr. Pole toUs us. e4,99» to 1. There are rocks ahead, therefore, for "tbe President and hia real friends." If such he possesses next year.
l>ong Island editors ¦welcomu with open arms the appearance of Col. William J. YoungB. of Hempstead, in the ranks- of JournaliBtic bread win¬ ners. The Colonel has had a varied and uR«!ful experience In public life and polltlca which .should be brilliant¬ ly reflprted in the Inquirer, of which he is now contributing editor. As an Assemblyman at a critical period In the history of the Orand Old Parly he acquitted himself creditably In gov¬ ernmental and political affairs.
As secretary lo Governor Roose\-elt be proved a most sagacious aid at mo¬ menta when that nimble-wilted ser¬ vant of the people Bought lo cut gor- dlan knots imposed by tradition and party usage. As Federal District At¬ torney hi.s record of successrul en¬ deavor nnd conscientious devotion to the duties of his offlee has never been surpassed. A partisan Federal admin¬ istration may have saught to sully it because he differed with it in a real estate transaction, but It has failed to show the merits of Us contention and has abandoned tbe field, leaving unscarred the champion of an Indi¬ vidual opintion which never bowed to the opinion of a superior unless it was absolutely right, and In this In- •stance it proved otherwi.se. Here's how. Colonel.
SNIPING
((;ontinued from Page 1) anybody, everyljody whom he sus¬ pected of having money in hia Jeans. Again things began to soar but not, alas, for long, for his fame had reached such height as a collector of Dewey funds that a most remarkable thing happened.
Upon his approach, hia life-long triends would dive into side streets. Once a whole street car emptied It¬ self when he beckoned the conductor to take him aboard. Crossing the City Hall square, on one occasion, he noticed that everybody in sight was legging it for dear life toward South Brooklyn. This phenomonon eo as¬ tonished him that he shouted to one of tho fugitives, "Where's the fire, old man?" Came back the answer over the fleeing shoulder: "There aint no fire, young feller. They're afeard you're after their pocket- /j books." Only Beecher upon his ped¬
estal held his ground, and he looked so kindly and syrapalhetic that Mac fell to musing. "It's true," thought he, "I've seen evcrylxydy In Brooklyn except the school children." With that he planned to visit Brooklyn's many seats of learning and after some weeks of hard work he had col¬ lected erough dimes, nickels and pen¬ nies to Just make the needed $30,- 000. It isn't certain that he didn't chip In his week's salary to clinch things and finish the Job. And such a Job it was, too. Eating a quail a day for thirty days was play com¬ pared with it. And thus it iwaa that Justin McCarthy bought the house for Dewey. He never vialta Washing¬ ton, tis said, fearing a recurrence of the horrible nightmare of those Dew¬ ey days.
"Shall tbe party stick together, for the sake of the 1916 Presidential eaanpalgiu or shall each individual Democrat try to saro himself and let the devU take ~lbe hindmost T— Washington correspondence, Brook¬ lyn Ekgle.

"Scudder worsts Cropsey In battle of wits."—Eagle headline.
We suspected this would be the case if the gentlemen ever met m the Orout investigation. The loss of a handful or two of tail feathers will not necessarily impair the vitality of the Kings County District Attorney, even If it does a7ect his plumage. It merely emphasizes the necessity of his keeping away from Nassau Coun¬ ty if he is seriously in search of "hand picked Judges" and "lap friends" of Orout. These are to be found, if at all, somewhere between Norton's Point. Coney Island, and Weatport, Connecticut — territory which is wholly to the westward and northward of Nassau.
The medical project to establish a clinic for the physicians of the coun¬ try and thus moke Brooklyn "a na¬ tional centre of twilight sleep," may be all right, but what Brooklyn neetv»,, if her newspapers are to be believed, is a real Resurrection.
A centralized government for New York wiping out all the five counties' lines and their county offices ia the latest proposition of the city admin¬ istration. The Mitchell ship seemjs to be laboring heavily and likely any moment to drift on the rocks.
Congressman Fitzgerald isn't try¬ ing to boss Manhattan or any other kind of t)emocral.i in Washington. That's a purely Wilsonian function. What he is trying to do is to beat It into the heads of his party associates that economy in appropriations Is the crying need of the hour. He may hav© indifferent success, for once a donkey always a donkey seems to be a Dem¬ ocratic tradition.
A Washington corresTJondent hard up for his daily dispatch may be ex¬ cused for an occa.sional plunge Into Ihe depths of Action but when he se¬ riously draws upon his subconscious¬ ness for tho novel theory that this government (including even Joscph- us) is violating neutrality by giving out news of a .shipwrecked Japanr.se cruiser on the Paciflc coa.st, U'h a ca.so ot brain fag that should promptly be treated by the homo olTlcc. Chauncey, we'll wager, was not in the Eagle'.'? bureau the day that story was In¬ vented.
The Tribune is KathcrinR in ^rom here and there some good newspaper men. 11 secured "Billy" McC'loy, for many ypiirs the manager of the Even¬ ing Sun, and now It has acquired the services of Frank H. Simonds, for .some time chief editor of that same .sprightly publication. Mr. Simonds has won lila way to the top by sheer ability and now rank.s among the fore mopt of the younper newspaper men of the day. For .several years hp wa? the Albany correspondent of the New York Evening Post escaping from it, however, l)ofore he became as.slmi- Iftted. and thus tinctured with Its many conceits.. He never reached the elevation of the super-man, and Ho.needing a better AllMiny correspon¬ dent than tho Post, Editor Mitchell prevailed upon young Simonds to take that post for the Morning Sun. Re¬ sult: Some conspIr/)Usly good writ¬ ing on politics. Thence his promo¬ tion to th-e editorship of the evening luminary. Such an apprenticeship should qualify one to make things in the old '"Trlb" hum.
The Rockville Centre commuters a word v?ould have with President Ralph Peters running thnsly: "If we till our acres to their fullest capacity, will you take off the prohibitive tolls and give ua an outlet to the hungry city via tbe Long Island Railroad?"
No sound business man would go blindly onward in a course of extra- agant and wasteful outlay, nor wotild he evor consider continuing a plan ot philanthropic endeavor, commendable aa it night be. it .flAaacial dlsSater were the price to be paid.—Breoklytt Oatte.
What the editor really means isi that the exftenditnre of great sums of money on sociological tonunyrot by a I municipal administration is dam-1 phoolishness. His context shows con¬ clusively tbat he is writing and think- ing of Ve City of New York.
Got. Whitman is proceeding along a common sense line—and will, we i trust, continue to so proceed—In tak-: Ing little or no notice of the charges { against the Municipal Civil Service j Commission by the retiring members j of the SUte Civil Servl/e Board- Brooklyn Dally Times.
Neither the cocksure Judgment nor j the Judgment of tbe editor who goes' off at half-cock will be accepted aa Infallible by thinking newspaper Read¬ ers. Comment upon thinga the day before, rather than the day after, con¬ stitutes fickleness ot Judgment In the estimation of these same readers.
Public Service Commissioner Mo- Call frankly says he doesn't like New York newspapers as a whole. What a rattling good time he might have with hostile Inksllngers Just now, if he only controlled a newspaper hlm- seli.
A lot of talk Is going around the Town of Hempstead about former Su¬ pervisor Oirdell V. Brower, of Rock¬ ville Centre, again making the Demo¬ cratic run for Supervisor this spring. In fact, during the past week, many assurances of personal support have been tendered him by Democrats, Progres.slves, even Republicans. John Lyon, for Instance, has declared for him, saying to his friends: "Brower made a good strong flght for the tax¬ payers in 1903 and 1904, and com¬ pelled the Board to recognize his many complaints that the law which they had all taken an oath to live up to had in many instances been abso¬ lutely violated^ He compelled his associates to save money.
