Belated Candidacies.
The result of the election in Free- port on Tuefday
should serve as a | lesson for the future in startinfc be- i lated lYiovemcnts for independent can- [ didncied. Annual elections are fixed i by law in tillages incorporated under I the jfeneral charter act for the third \ Tuesday in March. The term of a ^ Village President is fixed for one year and of Trustees for two years. This causea retirementa frotn the service • of some officials each year. A year's | time is afforded citizens to prepare for elections, yet almost invariably, when an independent or opTyopition movement is undertaken, it is started at the eleventh hour of the campaign,

I The New York Herald of Monday I aaid:
I "Now that woman has the ballot it I may be expected that she will receive I more attention from legislators."
.Standinpr alone the parajrraph could : be construed in more than one way, j but the Herald explains it by stating ! that Mondav was field day for the i women at Albany, when representa¬ tives of various organizations visited i the CapitQl to impresa the lawmakers 1 with their views of pending bills.

The Great Duty.
As we KO aibout our daily tasks in
co-operation, the club has become one of the best in Nassau County. .More power to it.
Fifty thou.sand people, according to estimate, visited ("oney I.^land last Sunday. "Hot dog" men w<»re every¬ where and many small concessions open. The Traveler realizes that city folks have (rot to get somewhere on ¦Sundays, because they labor under sueh a nerve .strain and are so con¬ fined durinjf the week. Coney Island at trfiis time of year is far more de¬ sirable to visit than in mid-summer, when it is frequently so hot and so croiwded as to be exceedingly uncom¬ fortable. People flock there however, just because it is Coney Islar^, when they would be more comfortable else¬ where.

Tbe Traveler airrees with all these assertions, but knows it to be a fact by reason of long experience that too many people overlook the value of a good newspaper and would rather give it a "kick" than spend a few cents each week to help it exist.

defense of America's rights and hon-
It is becoming more difficult each year to find good men to accept po¬ sitions on Village Boards of Trus¬ tees because of the sacrifice in the time required, the inconsistent and oftentimes unjust criticisnis forth¬ coming frwrr'some sources and furth¬ er, the entirely honorary and no re¬ turn in compensation for service per¬ formed. Wonu'i), who have recently acquired the full rights of franchise, and who proved an important element in Tuesday's elections, have not, as yot, presented themselves as candi¬ dates for Village President, Trustees or other offices, but it is not to be anticipated that they will remain long j in the background. It is also strongly I probalble that they will not wait until the last moment to put their candi- ' dates in the field. i
The Citizens' Party of Freeport,, as ! a result of its tardy movement in • starting a ticket, had little chance to ' muster any strength, and the over- i whelming defeat of its two candi- ' dates, E. R. Brindel and Hamilton G. King, shows what the voters thought of the movement.
There is always room for candi- | dates having good qualifications to I be presented at village elections, and ' Freeport, having, as it appears, dif-; ficulty in obtaining such candidates to run for office, would. The Nassau i Post believes, give full and just con¬ sideration to them unless they were [ promoted by some disgruntles who 1 had an axe to grind rather than the furtherance of community interests ^ from a fair standpoint.

To work, to save, to economize, to give financial support to the Govern¬ ment is a duty of the Nation and to the world, and it is especially a duty to our fighting men who on land and sea are offering their lives for their country and their countrymen.
Cerman Kultur Not a New Thing.
"Every village they have passed through has been the victim of what is only organized pillage. Every city has been practically sacked, ransack-
fuel, so the arguments for the bill have run, and many other so-called advantages presented. So far as homes are concerned. The Traveler cannot see where the plan will save any light or fuel. People get up ear¬ lier in Spring and Summer than they do in Winter and generally stay up longer because of the heat, making occupancy of the rooms almost impos¬ sible, especially in cities. In the coun¬ try the same rule applies in the main, so why bother with the clocks? It seems strange that little if no atten¬ tion was given the "daylight" bill by the public or the press..
There may be a strong awakening, however, if the gas and electric light companies increase prices for their

its civil officials terrorized, imprison-1 products as did those'in England soon , , .„ J m, . ., I after that country made daylight sav-

Newspaper Advertising Best.
The question, "Does Advertising in Newspapers Pay?" has been widely discussed among business people, and it is yet debated by some despite pos¬ itive proof that it does pay and pays well. '
It is not uncommon to hear business men remark that they do not believe newspaper advertising pays them.
"1 tried an advertisement in The (mentioning some news¬ paper) and I am sure I got rto re¬ sults.'"
The same business men who make this kind of assertion will admit that they believe in some kind of advertis¬ ing—circulars or something else. A number Of these business men will •cknowledge tlut little if any time is applied on their part to the study of (fcdvertising.

I spread terror, .\ regular system of ingenious terrorism has been dir(;ct- I ed against civilians, as horrible as anything in the history of civil or re¬ ligious wars. Large and populous cities have been, not once, but 20, 30, 40 times, bombarded and burnt, and the women and children in them wan¬ tonly slaughtered, with the sole ob¬ ject of inflicting suffering. .\11 this has been done not in license or pas¬ sion, but by the calculating ferocity of scientific soldiers."
The above was not written, though it might have been, yesterday, last ¦week, last month, or last year. It appeared in the English Fortnightly Review February, 1871, shortly be¬ fore the surrender of Paris. Freder¬ ick Harrison, the writer, is still alive. Ita statements were true then, are true now. Julius Caesar ii;i his Com- mentariM narrates events which show that even before the tiniu of Christ the Germnns demonstrated the pos-1 session of all the rudiments of their j modern "kultur."

forces can be made use of—it should frankly say so. If Mr. Wilson ap¬ proves, or is willing, to give Japan freedom of action, that should be stated with equal frankness. We can¬ not maintain the President's attitude against secret diplomacy and hide ourselves behind any kind of camou¬ flage in this Siberian business. We should speak out. We should oppose or we should approve. If we merely acquiesce, that should be made plain also. We cannot afford to dissemble. We must win the war—and in doing so we must take the chances af war. The recent German attack ui>on the American sector at Toul is said to have been rehearsed four times. The performance showed that the parti¬ cipants were far from letter-perfect. ___ ^
