ACCESSORIES BEFORE THE FACT Considerations of extraordinary im portance In their relation to the af fairs of the Town of Hempstead de mand pointed reference to certain vital facts set forth by Senator Rey nolds. the President of the Estates of Long Beach, in his campaign among our villages In behalf of a $250,000 bond issue for the building of a new Long Beach road and bridge. Noth ing more than a superficial etudfr of the situation is required to ostabllsh conviction, both as to the grave men ace to life and limb which existing conditions Imply and to the culpabili ty of those who, through selfishness, lack of public spirit or downright lack of Interest, are willing to permit them to endure a day longer than Is abso lutely necessary. We hold a brief for Long Beach and its Interests only Insofar as tBey seem to Inure to our communal ad vantage, but In the matter now being presented to our taxpayers night af ter night there lies an issue which is bigger than Long Beach, bigger than the selfish interests of any Individual taxpayer, because it is a moral Issue, because It Is an Issue Involving broad prlncplea of economy, common sense and humanity. Briefly, the present road and bridge Across the Hempstead meadows and Wreck Lead channel are death traps, nothing less. Over a roadway so nar row and Inadequate that a deviation of a foot between passing vehicles would precipitate one or both of them down an embankment of from eight to fifteen feet In depth Into quicksand and marshland, some seven thousand motor cars pass to and fro each Sun day of the summer season. Two Long Island Railroad grade crossings, whose death toll Is ever Increasing, menace all who travel over this pre posterous highway, while the Wreck Lead vehicle bridge, an antiquated wooden structure, was six months ago condemned by our authorities as un safe. Yet this creaking, rotten struc ture Is permitted to stand and bear a burden of traffic for which It was never Intended even when new. It la our good fortune that It has not col lapsed before this. How much long er are we willing to await the ine vitable) Cognisant oi this deplorable condi tion, Senator Reynolds, a fallow tax payer, directs y e n attention to I t We direct y e n immediate attendee and that you take action. Toe I a r e responsible for a n y calamity which may result free* the failure of the peu-iaia to provide , tor safety. Should you fall to take every precau tion to prevent accidents on narrow roads, to guarantee that the Wreck Lead bridge will not collapse when burdened with the congested traffic you and you alone, officials and tax payers, are morally, legally and finan cially responsible. There is only one solution of this grave problem. Every man or woman whose name appeared on the last as sessment roU of the Town of Hemp stead, whether registered to vote at this election or not, should go to the polls on Election Day and- vote for the appropriation of ,$260,000. It will not come out' of your pocket Senator Reynolds will assist you, as he guar antees to increase the valuation of Long Beach enough to offset In taxes this expenditure. Vote for an appropriation which will prevent disaster and accident, that will preserve life, that will re lieve you of all responsibility. y ELECTION RESULTS The Town ot Hempstead is paying $4,824 -more than Is neccessary to conduct the election next Tuesday. And the voting will be decidedly un satisfactory. The bedquilt ballot Is so complicated and ambiguous, that a large percentage will be cast In correctly. There Is no absolute guar antee against fraud. There is not a bit of doubt that the election will be secret, in fact, It will take the elec tion officials from two to three days to \fathom It.\ And think of the Im mense sums which will be spent to secure all this ..-There is one way to save this $4,- 824, to simplify the method and pro- ceedure of voting, and to make Illegal balloting im p o ssiblethat way Is the “voting machine\. There would be no spoiled ballots: no contested elec tions. the machine is always correct; and the results would be positively known within two hours after the closing of the polls. And what is better it would not be necessary for the Town of Hemp stead to spend one cent to take ad vantage of these economies. Read the articles and tabulations on the back page of this Issue of the paper. THE CRIME MYSTERY The jury in the Carman case disa greed 10 to 2 for acquittal. Mrs. Car man has been admitted to ball in the sum of $25,000, and arrived at her home on Merrick road, Monday after noon. The case was well and nobly fought on both sides and, superficial ly, it seems that the last word has been said from the legal view-point. The Post does not believe It will so rest. There are thousands that agree with us. But this Is mere opinion. It was not the fault of the Prose cuting Attorney that the jury disa greed and Mrs. Carman went free. He conducted the case with the most con scientious ability. During the entire trial he showed a deference to every one opposing him. He fought his case fair and square. Glad we are, that he had honor enough not to find It nec essary to slander and blackguard the opposing attorneys In an effort to de tract and win his case. There was nothing approaching roughness in id* cross examination of Mrs. Carman herself. Little Elisabeth was a moat trying witness for him to deal with from the view point of a man with a natural love for children. Here was an artless child, with no conception of what her testimony might mean in a legal sense. She could not fathom the results of any thing she might disclose. She could not possibly understand how an at torney might aak her questions, the answers to which might darlSn'Her whole life. And what did prosecutor Smith do In this delecate position? \You think a great deal ef your moth er, don’t you Elizabeth?\ Answer— \Yeaalr.\ “That la alV* R e S f the different lawyers and all thebt efforts had little to do with the resuJUji The plain facts were that the testimony adduced was not sufficient to convince the Jury of the guilt of Mrs. Carman. Promises were made by both sides of Hew evidence and startling dle- losures. These promises were not ipt. Nothing new of Importance was elicllted. All was circumstantial, in ferential. The disagreement of the jury was by no means unexpected by those who attended the trial. Public opinion can have bet little weight In such an action. Indeed it should not la conceded that there has been a fair trial before an able Judge, wife delivered an Impartial charge. It la a* Is. And so It will rest until some day In the future when Time shall work Its mysterious changes In hu man hearts, and suddenly it will be known who fired the .fatal shot that killed Mrs. Louisa Bulky. THE HOBflTAL APPROPRIATION There win be several qaestloos ot apropriatioos for the voters to aider at the coming election. Sup pose we review the one appropriating $100,000 for the establishment of a Tuberculosis Hospital. Fifty years ago consumption was considered an Incurable disease. It was spoken of aa a visitation of God and the victims resigned themselves L a what they considered tie Inevi table. This belief was founded on the Ignorance of the people. Science says it is a cuxpble disease, but In order to effect a cure and protect the community, it la absolutely essen tial to Isolate the afflicted ones. Turn to the little map printed u> the lower part of the advertisement in this issue of the Post and see how numerous the little black dots are. And every one means a death from Tuberculosis and nearly every one might have been prevented If a suit able hospital had been In operation in Nassau County. The appropriation asked Is very reasonable In amount. It must be used with economy to effect the pur pose intended. Beyond this the ques tion should not be considered a mo ment It Is a question of public safe ty. A matter of life and death. Your child may be a victim within the next year. None Is safe unless in fected patients are isolated. The Nassau Post hereby places Itself on record as being seriously and solemn ly In earnest in advocating this ap propriation. It is the one question to be voted upon that comes the closest home to every voter because it af fects the safety of the home, the fire side, the lives and well being of wife and children. So go to the polls and vote the separate, small ballot. Tu* \Yes\ for the comparatively small amount asked for the establishment of this much needed hospital in Nas sau County. The Long Island Association of Bap tists at a recent session reported that theare had been a loss In their denom ination of 1,116 erased from tae roll. A loss of 681 was reported during the last year. It would be of Interest to know the causes of such decrease, while there has been a steady gain in population. COMMUNICATIONS v m — -— Editor Nassau Port: The writer bee sever : seen Mrs. Florence Carman until the beginning of the present trial. I know nothing ot the history of her family or their antecedents, nothing of her early life. I have taken no pains to Inform my self et any ef these things. Of the vast amount ot material that has been published concerning the woman and the crime with which she is charged, I have read but little, and that, little, with but, scant Interest Whatever follows is what Mrs. Car man tells me by that unconscious process of dlvulgence that all of us exercise every moment whether we will or no. Physical beauty.Vren in a moderate degree, to a girl la oft times a fatal gift The pretty child U unduly crowded. She is petted, worshipped, made much of, forced upon the at tention of older people, visitors, every one with whom she comes In contact, until she values herself by a wholly false standard. She becomes preco cious, unnatural, loses the grace and sweetness of the child and gains noth- ng of the maturity and gentle digni ty of the woman. She soon reigns as queen without the knowledge and wisdom that are ever the saving graces of queenshlp. Infatuated with her beauty of per son, she fails to cultivate those graces of mind and heart that would endear her to all. There ever comes a day when she will be rudely unde ceived, and that day will be the crisis of her life. If she accepts the lesson in a spirit oT humility and with the resolve to make mind and heart as beautiful as her person, then there is the miracle of the truly lovely woman. If, as too usual, she rebels and grows bitter over the castigation, then there can be but tittle before her but sorrow and bitterness. Mrs. Florence Carman Impresses me as a woman who has passed through the stages that are briefly outlined above. She is, a woman pos sessed of considerable power of both mind and body. There Is a certain quality of reserve power about her that impresses all thrown wlthlfi. her influence. Such people often, lead strangely dual lives, unknown to even those with whom they are Intimately associated, scarcely admitted by the persons themselves. TOWN HALL Rockville Centre, with the aid of some recently Imported literary tal ent, seems to think Itself about the on ly town In Nassau County worth con sidering. A long article recently ap peared that was as clear as a dense fog in a gloomy midnight. The head ing seemed to indicate something— \Planning to make Rockville Centre the town seat.” A column of infor mation did not inform In the least degree, but the matter seemed eettleu to the complete satisfaction of the writer, so there was nothing left but to choose a site for the building. Said building Is probably erected by this time aqd the town seat transferred- in the imagination of this Writer. This slight ray of, light in the fog bank shines out: \Already several sites have been discussed by citizens. Many favor Ob server street, between Village and Park avenues, while others believe that there la but one street on which to erect a public building—Village avenue.' It is expecvad however, that all discussion over a site will have been stilled before the spring so that a proposition for a town hall will in elude a plot on which to build I t ” In the meantime quiet little Hemp stead la going right on, urging noun* for the new Town building and will have them voted, the money put into a safe, fire-proof building and every thing going smoothly before Rockville Centre discovers that It was never even considered, as a town seat by any one outside of a few nervous lit tle agitations. The tax against businvoe corpora tions doing business in Hen^tbad total $99,623 a decrease from the as sessments of last year of $17,346. They were formerly assessed $191,- 600 but an appeal to the State Board secured a reduction. Chief Pharoah of the Montauk In dian tribe, brought suit to kold possession of 4,200 acres at Montauk Point, claiming inch land was the property of said tribe. But the courts have decided that there la no Indian tribe of Montauk, the In diana having adopted the habit! and .ways of civilization. Indians are now cared for so liber ally by the Government that they haa better remain “Lo, the poor Indian ot untutored mind.** It pays better financially a t least V a woman, she may NtthfoRy dis charge an the duties that appertain to home, family and society In the most conscientious manner. Y et un der neath the surface, like the salt waters of the tidal sea flowing under the sweet waters of a river, there surges and rushes this other life. If the persons love art and painting, j then their mind is filled with the i most gorgeous colors; they dream [ dreams and see visions of a radiant splendor which they long to portray. And these pictures ever take the shape of the ruling inclination and desire, be It art, poetry or music. On the other hand, if such a person allow their mind to become filled with dreams of hate, of Jealousy, with de sire for revenge for some real or fan cied Insult or wrong, then with time the whole nature becomes warped and dwarfed. And these processes are carried on so slowly that the friends are unconscious of the growth and the persons themselves realize as little as any of the slow, gradual, change of character. Mrs. Carman shows the lack of sound discipline. In my opinion she did not receive It as a child at home. She has never acquired It herself. She Is Intensely Introspective. She has ever been deeply Interested in her own opinions, her own views. She does not bear opposition with grace and sweetness. And much of this had become such a part of her life that It was lived almost as uncon sciously to herself as the fact that her heart beat or her lungs acted their part She has been portrayed as a woman of wonderful nerve, outward calmness and the appearance of perfect repose under trying circumstances, arises from two causes:- first—rigid self- control, an unceasing watchfulness of self and every emotion, in a word, continued and studied effort; and sec ond, a certain amount of stupidity so the person Is partly incapable of real izing the position in which they are placed. And Mrs. Carman Is not stupid. A gambler looked at her for a moment and remarked, \If I was sitting in a game with her and there was big money on the table, she would have me guessing as to whether she had the best cards in the dack, or whether she was throwing a cold bluff on a four flush.\ A FREE PORTER _ Ladies’ and Childrens’ Wear New Fall Styles of Dresses, Suits and Skirts.
