THOS. W. ABRAMS H eeeant Avenue, Freeport. Tel. 588-J. The Emerald Society was especially fortunate in having for one of its speakers Dr. William F. McOulnesa of W estbury. Few prelates are so gifted with schplarly talent and real oratori cal power, and hia picture of the Erin of intellectual and ecclesiastical pre eminence and of her patron saint waa vivid and most impressive. Dr. Mc- Guiness has in preparation another painting, ’tis said, which will be equally enjoyed by the laity, though hardly as much by the professional gossips and newsmongers who will figure on its canvas. Another freak on exhibition at the Saturday Symposium of the New York Republican Club. Samuel McCune Lindsey, professor of social legisla tion at Columbia, has just expounded to the members his theory that the rich should bear the cost of prepared ness. Other people's property must be as lightly esteemed in Columbia as in the Bowery, which has no pedagog ical promoters of the uplift. Our esteemed contemporary, the Nassau Post, advertises th a t it is the \official Republican paper\ of Nassau county. Even if it is tru.e it is rather rough on the rest of the Republican papers for them to brag about it. By designation of the Board of Supervis ors of the county they are an \official paper\ of the county, but we are not quite sure as to who designated them as the official Republican paper.— Nassau County Review, Again is our neighbor caught nap ping. Since he is \ n o t quite sure,\ a perusal of the following which is on file with the Board of Supervisors, may make him \cock sure\— a condi tion of mind seldom attained by some persons in this world: \I the undersigned, supervisor of the town of Hempstead, and sole rep resentative of the Republican party In the Board of Supervisors of (he County of Nassau, which Is one of the principal political parties in said county, do hereby designate for the year 1916, The Nassau Post, a news paper published at Freeport, in the town of Hempstead. County of Nas sau, State of New York, to publish the session laws and concurrent reso lutions of the Legislature, the said Nassau Post being hereby designated by me as the OFFICIAL REPUBLI CAN PAPER of said county as falMy representing the Republican party, regard being had to the advocacy by said paper of the principles of said party. Its support of the State and Na tional nominees thereof, and to its regular and general circulation in the towns of the County of Nassau. “Dated, Nov. 22, 1915. “ HIRAM R. SMITH, \Supervisor of the Town of Hemp stead.\ This document reads singularly like several documents also on file at Min- eola, which bear the signature of a gentlem an named Smith Cox and the name of a paper called The Nassau County Review. \Oh beware, my lord, of jealousy! It to the green-eyed monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds upon.\ Nor bilious be, lest a bile d u ct burst all too prem aturely— which m ight be fatal in one fashioned by nature slen derly, m entally and physically. The Bar Association of Nassau county is right. Larger salaries should be paid the Surrogate, District Attorney and County Judge of Nassau county. It m ight have gone further and recommended a $6,000 salary for the District Attorney, the same figures suggested for the other two officers. Men who handle men's tools should receive men's pay. The machinery of government ought not to be en tr u s t ed to office boys nor to boys of more m ature years simply because they wear beards. Good men, good work good salaries— th a t's w h at's wanted to elevate the tone of officialdom. Good men won’t compete for positions which pay scrub wages. The scrub who would compete with good men for a good position would be a laughing stock, and the public would dispose of him and his pretensions handily. There is still tru th in the homely thought that i t ’s foolish to send a boy to the mill when a m an’s services are needed. How difficult it is for law yers and, as for that m a tter human kind generally, to break the habit of bending to expedience. The Bar As sociation knows it is not proper for either one of these three officers to practice his profession privately while holding public office. Then why not have said so if it was to speak at all upon the subject? How many of them would halve their own office boy with another lawyer? graph throwa no light upon these In teresting point*. To one who has served in newspaper trenches, thte omission suggests a news story of real human interest to the Inquirer’s read ers. Its editor may know the offender but he does not tell them, and thus that sweet confidence which they have reposed in him is disturbed. To re peated laches of this sort is due the reproach, “there’s no real news in a country newspaper.\ There's news and new s—and legiti m ate news is always fit to print. News Is not everything that happens or that falls under the eye. The elder Bowles Im patiently notified one of his report ers who had pestered him with small news that the fact th a t two dogs met in conversation at a tree box was not pabulum sufficiently nourishing tor the Springfield Republican’s readers. The theory of Mr. Story of the old Chicago Times was embodied in his motto: \R a i s e ------- and sell newspa pers.\ This is too crass for Nassau. But.news, my dear boy, reliable news, is what makes a newspaper, and no man not of that stern mould which would sacrifice va mother-in-law, if necessary, is fitted for newspaper edi torship. If an editor is endowed by nature with discretion and good running gear, and knows intuitively the psychological moment calling for the exercise of either, he will get along nicely and save himself unnecessary walloppings. The e ating of ten-penny nails and the drinking of blood, have been unduly magnified as productive of the so-called \truculent pen.\ There isn’t much in the truculent pen business anyway. Even Mr. Brisbane is gradually discarding it. Eleven months in the year find A rthur quite normal, the twelfth is usually the month before a November election and even then lie doesn’t nowadays in dulge in this dreadful diet as much as formerly. Remember, Colonel, that Publicity is one of the best-known Deterrents to tlie timid. For the wicked ones who beset your path, let your motto be Soc it tu 'em. Get all the news (never mind the idiotorialsi and print it boldly. Oats makes a mare go. news makes a newspaper. If you doubt the efficiency of your Nassau educational system, just step into the Election Commissioners' of fice and ask Jake Schroeter to let you gaze at the original district enroll ment books. Nassau is, indeed, the habitat if not the mother of Simplified Spelling! He indeed will be a benefactor of our race who will show us how one pint of gas will go as far as two pints heretofore. The efficacy of Vou Tirpltz's method of w arfare is unquestioned. Its lack of popularity was its only weakness. Poet Masefield is off for service at the British front. There are others who m ight be spared for duty in the trenches. It begins to look as if the “ whole cost of the war\ wouldn't be \assessed upon the Allies.\ If the war doesn’t last too long, Germany may be able to assist a little in the ultim a te financ iering. A substantial sum ought to be realized from the Tlrpltz whiskers. It is to be hoped that the Amity- ville Sun’s editorial page will recover its wonted viflor In due season. a£%J%,1f>eA/VO rzoETZ & fjj ■ 8 1 COURT A LIVINGSTON STS.. B’KLYN Bet.

As it is, they are pledged to Pulitzer and Miles and propose to elect them. If the weather 7s fair, the walking good and Democrats give enough votes to Felix Relfschneider, Jr., he expects about eight plurality. Such a conca tenation of possibilities would be re garded as ruinous by a less optim istic candidate than Felix. Felix never runs well in leap years. Oyster Bay is no paradise of busy lawyers. In fact, it isn’t any paradise at all for that persuasion. When the Town Board wants a real lawyer it sends over to Suffolk county to get him. J. A. C.— P erhaps you are right. Even hot air may be too heated. Nassau newspapermen sympathize with their Suffolk brethren in their loss of Henry Reeves, editor of the Greenport W atchman. His was a rug ged and unique figure in Long Island journalism and his like we shall see no more. It seldom falls to the lot of man to be called upon to fill so many positions of responsibility by his fel low citizens, and it is rarer still for one to have filled them so successfully. His convictions were his own and not even Fort Lafayette could discipline him. on are of special Interest at this time, and some of them are herewith pre sented: Let us regard it as one of the first duties of citizenship to aid in check ing the rapidity and greed with which the laws are coming to devour liberty. A waste of hum an energy and contempt, even of the law itself, fol low a m u ltiplicity of statutory re straints. It is in the laws relating to the con duct of persons that we see in a very marked m anner the tendency toward over-legislation, and this is a field where over-legislation Is very much out of place. The State is an Institution evolved from hum an experience and designed for h u m an ends. Its main object is to do those things which are essential to the protection and development of the individual and which in his Isolation he cannot do for himself. The effect upon the individual is the real teat of the beneficence of government. Government is an instrum e n tality and not an end, and it is its prim ary function to elevate men and not to keep them down in slavish subm is sion to an abstraction with no con sciousness of its own. It took many centuries of groping before the individual was discovered as an institution. The individual did not completely arrive until the estab lishm ent of the American Common wealth with its Immortal Declaration that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov erned. and that they were founded to secure certain great hum an rights. The man in a monarchy is called a subject which implies nothing else than som ething to be governed, with no hint th a t he is to bear any part in the process. The term citizen, how ever, implies no notion of superiority towards anybody. In our country the citizen is an equal partner in the work of governing. The citizen stands upon the same level as thbse about him and the State Is what he and his fellows make It. T h at a man, however lowly his birth or however humble his circum stances, should be a member of a State, the political equal of his fel low men and the Inferior of none, has a stim u lating effect upon the spirit. It incites one to stand erect upon his feet in the simple m ajesty of his manhood. The Individual has no right to vote for w h at appears to he his own pri vate interest if It also appears to he against the good of the State. If a man should be w illing to die for his country he c e rtainly should be w illing to vote for her In time of peace. The neglect to perform the duty of voting falls litle short of an abdication of citizenship. The Plymouth Pilgrim s fined men for not voting. The besetting sin with men highly educated in the schools, as well as with those of a wide range of private affairs, is ofttim es political indiffer ence. They perm it themselves to be wholly absorbed in their affairs, re serving the right, however, to com plain if things go wrong, and dis charging their duty to the State by exclaim ing upon the wickedness of politicians. The broadening effect, the cultural value of the study of public questions will Increase one's stature as a man and augm ent his efficiency in his pri vate pursuits. If your party nom inates a candi date who is not honest and free from demagoguery and the other party se lects a good men, the duty to vote in dependently is very clear. Parties may not always be able to offer to the voters a great statesm an, but they should have no difficulty in selecting an honest man. Government to indeed a mighty en gine and each one of us as much as any other has his hand upon the throttle. It is im p o rtant that the citizen should not confuse democracy with liberty. Liberty In its broadest and highest sense cannot exist without democracy, but there may be a democ racy without liberty. There is no overwhelming senti ment in Kansas at this moment for Roosevelt for President. Such a sen tim ent exists in the East. It may be growing in the West. But It is not exciting anyone much out here. And it is just as well that Republicans who w ant to go to the National Con vention should find out th a t the Col onel’s name is not a name to conjure with Just now.— William Allen W hite In the Emporia Weekly Gaz ette. THE RADIATOR. “Uncle Joe\ Brower, who died at the Mineola Hospital this week, Is well remembered as the one stalw a rt Democratic figure of Oceanside who never flinched at any demand of his party. He was a prosperous and pro- greesive farm er for years, and even after his retirem ent he never relin quished his out-door activities. He died at the age of 83 In full possession of his rem arkable mental faculties. He attributed his long years to the out door life which he persisted in living nine months In the year on the Hemp stead Meadows. The Browers were of Dutch stock and had lived In Hemp stead since the formation of its gov ernm ent in the seventeenth century. He leaves a son, the Hon. Oirdell V.
