William Langdon.
WlllUim Langdon is umiiiestion- ably lhi.' bii.siest man in Baldwin. To tliose who, have not become ac(iuaiiil- ed with him, through business rela¬ tions, be apears lo be only an ordin¬ ary man. as he pas.ses lo and from his .shop (in .Merrick road anil through t!if streets of thc village, but one question usually sullices to elicit the fact that he is not ouly a plumber and stcjunlitter but among all trades, the one nian enjoying a practical monopoly. lie has a conlract with and installs all fhe iilunibing as well as the lifatiiig iilantu for the Baldwin Harbor Rralty and Construction I'nnijiany, in addition to much olher work about lhe village.
He has just been awarded the con¬ tract to install everything in his iine in the new- Baldwin school building now ill the course ot erection.

31 Houses Being Constructed.
Tlie Baldwin Harhor Kealty and ('onslniction t'ompany, whose main ollice Is located at l't:; West Thirty- I'ourtli street, Now York City, is vig¬ orously pushing one of the most cx- lensiv,' developuicnts on Long Island. Words cannot fairly pictiiro the con¬ dition which mtf the ohservation of a Xassau I'osl correspondent on a re- ccnt visit to their property. Not only have they under construction at Hie   present   time   :! 1    cottages   and
homes, which they are pushing to completion, for spring and summer sale and occupancy, but they are lay¬ ing concrete sidewalks, water and gas mains, so that all modern conveni¬ ences are provided  for each cottage.
Great care Is being exercised by the architectural department of the company to dealgn homea that will appeal to the would-be suburbanite and commuter, not only as conven¬ ient and comfortable but as a hand¬ some residence. Long since the com¬ pany Installed an automobile buss service to meet all trains, at Ilttle If any expense to residents, which has become Indispenslble to all the vil¬ lage.
Baldwin Harbor is an Ideal spot for a home and It only requires a personal Inspection to convince any one that as a residential section It has few. If any, real rivals.
Salvatgre   Sorentlno,    the   general
contractor, who has ^ust completed the new block on Otand avenue, which Includes the postofflce and the motion picture theatre, has or is con¬ templating the purchase of otner lots Ml the same street for the erection of another business block of stores aud cozy apartments.
The constant demand for stores .stimulates the enterprise not only of .Mr. Sorentlno but the citizens of Baldwin, and they challenge any one to point out a more beautiful and up-to-date positively fireproof theatre on Long Island than tbe one just completed In hia new block.
The Long Island Railroad Company Is now not only redeeming Its long- delayed promises but maintaining its reputation for perfectly equipped and convenient depots.
Ground was broken last week for the erection of a modern and hand¬ some   depot   to   be   located   on   the
north aide of tbe tracks just east of Grand avenue.
Among the most needed conven¬ iences and llfesavers is the contem¬ plaied subway and shelters.

Two Score Years of Telephony

•* I    ^ORTY years ago, Alexander Graham
¦^ Bell spoke over the feeble instrument '*• he had invented, to Thomas A. Wat¬ son—only two telephones in the world And a hundred feet of wire.
¦^ Recently the same men spoke to each
other fro>Q the Atlantic to the Pacific over the Transcontinental Line—more than fifteen million telephones in the world and nine million in the Bell System. Twenty-one million miles of telephone wire connect every state in the union, and the wireless telephone has extended speech across our ocean boundaries.
A chorus of twenty-eight million Ameri¬ cans is brought into perfect unison daily by the Bell System, that unifier of the nation and harmonizer of distant peoples, which bridges distances, outraces time and makes a whole nation one community.

Thai Hit- Wilson administratioi; lias alter<>d the country's entire sys¬ tem ol la.xation to tiie greal injury of tiie .states wa.s pointed out by I'nil¬ ed .States Senator Lodge in a speech liefore the Uepulilioaii Ciub ol' Lynn, .Mass.
"They began witii Hie destruction of lhe protective tarilT," said Setia- tor Lodge." 1 shall uol argue the Iiuestion of iiroteetion or free trade; it is enougli to point to results. Tliey left our producers open to a destruct¬ ive conipt.'lilion and the conse<|uences of fhis aetion were seen hefore tbe hrsl of August. IIMI, in languisliiiig industries, diminished oinployiiienl, lowered revenues and increased taxa¬ tion. Tlie Eurojieaii war liad two effects: One was that it acted iike a proliibitory tariff, by largely stop¬ ping iniporls from Kurope; the other tliat the demand of Kurope stimulat¬ ed ahnoriually cerlain great indus¬ tries and brouglit to the country large sums of money for. their j)ro- I ducts. Despite the protection-wliicli I thc war afforded, other In(i;mtrltrH lupon wiiich Hie war CuliBcd no Je- I nianil still reniaineii dull and lan- I giilahing. and they have made no I preparation fo meet the destriictlvo I and abiionnally low--|)riced eoiiipet- i ition whicli vvill come witli the end of flie'war.
"Bui the Deniocratle parly did more than simply overthrow the pro¬ tective policy: Ihcy altered our en¬ tire system of taxation. By the con- stituHon of the United .States, the great source of revenue to be I'oiituI in duties on imports was reversed to Hie general government alojie and it was Hie policy of the frainers of the constitution and Hie founders of fhe governiuenf to use duties on imports as the normal source for the national revenues. The Iield of direct taxation, exeept for fhe excise on liiiiiors and tobacco, was left to the states, and it was tacitly understood that this field was not to be invaded by the general government except in times of titre.ss. In a period of profound peace, the Oemocratic party threw- away a large part of the revenues to he derived froui duties on imiiorts. thus aban¬ doning Hie field reserved exclusively to the United States, and deliberately substituted direct taxes, in this wav crippling the resources of the statea and Increasing the burdens upon the people,
"They announced that their pur¬ pose was to have the taxes paid bv Ihe rich, but all faxes in the end are distributed aniong all the people and you will find if you inquire Into it that the true object was to take money from the north and spend It In the .south, the sure outcome of a party under sectional control. Yet with all tbeir new taxes, and all the fresh burdens which they have placed upon us, they present us with a defi¬ cit in the treasury and With govern¬ ment expenditures larger than gay even known under a Republican ad¬ ministration.
"This has nothing to do with ad¬ ditional appropriations for national defen.se, because these appropriations have not yet been made."
FEWER TRAIN DELAYS.
Long Island R. R. Has Fairly Clean
Bill—Percent, 81,5.
The record of passenger train per¬ formances on the railroads of the slate for the month of February, Ift 16, just Issued, shows that during the month the number of trains run was 62,604. Of the number of trains run 79.2 per cent, were on time at the terminal. The average delay for each late train was 28.2 minutes and the average delay for each train run was 5.9 minutes.
The principal causes of delay were: Waiting for connections with trains on other divisions. 36.5 per cent; train work at stations, 19.9 per cent; waiting for connections with trains on other railroads, 11.4 per cent.
The record of trains on time for the principal railroads was as fol¬ lows: New York, Westchester t Bos¬ ton. 98.6 per cent.; Ulster & Dela¬ ware, 90.7 per cent.; Delaware tt Hudson, 83.5 per cent.; Delaware, Lackawanna & 'V^''eatern, 83.1 per cent.; Long Island. 81.6 per cent.
Tliose who have made a study of lhe present situation are unaninioUH In tlieir opinion that there should bc no fiirther delay in making provision for a Slate .Vornial School on Long island. .\xi intimation was given that I if the Long Island people would con- ^ent lo a year's delay, some delinile assurance w-onld be given for till 7. To lliis suggestion a positive i-epiy I was given that l.ong Island could not wait any longei- and should not bt asked to do so. Our young peoph are completing their high schoo) courses, wltli a well fixed purpose to engage in teacliing. If Hie scliool is established iiere, many bright and ambitious and worthy students will be able to secure professional train¬ ing who are now unaljle to do so on account of the expense for traveling and hoard. Sucli a school here would very soon be filled to its capacity, as students would enter nol only frcmi .Nassau and Sufl'olk Counties, but from Queens Borough and West¬ chester Counly as well.
The state architect lia.s hecome deeply Interesled in this project and has given our assemblyman delinile figure.«! as to the probable cost of a building such as is required here. Hib llgures are $27.'p.0OO, and thc bill as introduced will at once be amend¬ ed in eomniittec so as fo meet the estimates of tlie slate architect. The hill wil! also be ."iiiicnded by chang¬ ing Hie third section so as to give auliiority to sclion] distriels only fo piirchnse  land   for  a site.
.\ hearing upon the bill will be ar¬ ranged for Wednesday or Thursday, .Marcli 29tri or ::iith," of which due noiice will be givi'ii. It is hoped that a   large delegation   will attend.
The report fh;ii Hie governor has stateil tliat he w-oild not sign a .Nor¬ mal School Bill seems to be without aiithiiitic foiindaiion. Lef everyone ill) everylhiiig possilile to secure Hie school this year.
