FISHEL AS VILLAGE COUNSEL. Leo Flshel has served the Board of Trustees most efficiently during the^ past year as t h e ir village counsel. He has advised tije institution of many reform measures which have worked to the Interest of the taxpayers. We sincerely hope the incoming board can find it possible to continue Mr. Fishel In office. There is one thing they can be sure of, he values his services far above any paltry zompensation. He takes pride as a lawyer of Freeport, in aiding in the satisfactory transaction of the village i (fairs. IS OSBORN SIDETRACKED? A Washington dispatch says ad ministration circles are puzzled to know whether William Church Osborn or Edwin S. Harris is the real ehad of the Democratic State Committee. The uncertainty is said to arise from the fact that Democrats who look to Mr. Osborn to secure federal jobs for them do not get the jobs while those wlio depend upon Mr. Harris do get them Some light may be thrown upon the present situation in the Democratic State Committee by the statement made by Chairman Osborn in Septem ber, 1914, when he resigned the chairmanship. In that statement he said: “I had not control of patronage or of the State Committee.\ At pres ent Mr. Osborn does not appear to have any control over patronage and his control of the State Committee re mains to bo demonstrated. It looks very much as though history were re peating itself in t h e Democratic State Committee. At the time of Mr. Osborn’s retire ment from the chairmanship of the Democratic State Committee in 1914 war was declared by the Wilson Democrats on the Tammany-Glynn or ganization and Franklin D. Roosevelt, representing the Wilson Democrats, in a public s t a tement said: \This is a fight to the death for freedom from political slavery and neither Mr. Os born nor anyone else can reconcile the Democrats of New York State and the handful of politicians and con tractors who have usurped its leader ship. Osborn never has been especially popular with Tammany although Tammany controlled the State Com mittee that elected him as its chair man nearly eight to one. Harris, on the other hand always has stood well with Tammany. Osborn never has been conspicuous among the defenders of the administration of Gov. Glynn. Harris, on the contrary, ever since he followed Governor Glynn out of of fice has been the most conspicuous defender of the Glynn administration. If Harris is able to get Jobs from the federal administration those Jobs un doubtedly will go to the followers of the' men who are backing him. If Osborn were able to get jobs from the federal administration they might go to Tammany-Glynn Democrats, but the chances are they would not. The fact that he is not able to get them and that Harris is seems to indicate th a t Tammany has a stronger pull on Washington than have the real Wil son Democrats. TIN CAN MENACE. Who would have thought that the tin pan Is a menace to the public health? The expert malaria invest! gators of the United States Public Health Service have found however th a t discarded tin cans containing rain water are breeding places for the moeflulto which is the sole agent in spreading malaria. A hole In t h e bot tom of the empty can might have resulted In the sating of a human life. Certainly it would have assisted in preventing a debilitating Illness. Empty tin cans have no business about t h e premises anyway, bujt If we must so decorate o u r back yards, let's see to it that the can has a hole in the bottom. THE SOUTH SHORE CANAL. ( F r o m B r o o k l y n D a l l y T i m e s . ) There will be a hearing in Albany Wednesday on the McWhlnney bill, appropriating something less than a million dollars for the acquisition of land through which the United States Government plans th6 construction of a barge canal, connecting Jamaica Bay with Peconic Bay and all the b^ys and sounds that lie between them. The bilL has been urged fSr several years by the Waterways League, as provision for a comple mentary extension of the Barge Ca nal. Not only will there be repre sentatives of Long Island at the Joint session of the two financial commit tees of the Legislature, but from other sections of the State, men in terested in the commercial use of artificial waterways will gather at Albany. The demands made upon the Leg islature by the proponents of the measure are modest. The advantages of the canal would be many and mani fest. Setting aside the military ad vantage of an inland waterway be hind the great sand bar that but tresses the south shore of Long Island, an advantage that has won approval of the project from the army engi neers, there are commercial consider ations of great weight that should affect the minds of the legislators. Long Island Is a populous and pros perous territory, and should share in the benefits of the Barge Canal, which would be of greater value to the peo ple of the State at large because the Island had access to it. Jamaica Bay and the other bays that indent the South Shore, with their natural sea wall protecting them against the fury of the ocean, already have consid erable water commerce, and offer op portunities for a splendid develop ment. The State is not asked to buy a pig in a poke or to commit itself to project that may Involve it in enormous expense. In the McWhin- ney bill it is carefully safeguarded against anything of this kind. The measure provides th a t all the money shall be expended under the super vision of the State Engineer and Sur veyor, and it further provides that the money shall not become available until the State Engineer shall be s a t isfied t h a t the Federal Government is ready to proceed with the work of physical construction. The bill is commendable. It pro vides for a co-operation of the State with the Federal Government in an improvement of great commercial value, locally, and of the utmost strategic importance to the military arm of the Nation. electric lights installed In his store when the power plant was erected, and was also one of the first to use gas lamps in this town. We hope that the rest of the business men of the village will follow this splendid example. DO YOU KNOW THAT Four per cent, of the inhabitants Of certain sections of the South have malaria? The United States Public Health Service has trapped 615,744 rodents In New Orleans 111 the past 18 months? The careless sneezer is the great grip spreader? Open air is the best spring tonic? Typhoid fever is a disease peculiar to man? Measles kills over 11,999 Ameri can children annually? There has not been a single case of yellow fever In the United States since 1905? MONEY BUT NO SHIPS. The Navy Department is making no effort to proceed with the build ing of the battleships which Con gress authorized ten months ago. The longer the administration can post pone the expenditure of money, the better Mr. McAdoo's doctored treas ury statement will appear. The cause of National defence may suffer, but that is of small consequence to an administration whose chief desire is to defend itself.— The Protection ist. toast M irthday Mr. Charles Kicherer of Massape- qua celebrated his seventy-third birthday anniversary on Thursday evening, March 16, at his home by giving an informal party and supper to his family and a few close friends. Mr. Kicherer has resided on- and conducted the 600-acre Floyd-Jones WHY? If the opening of factories, which were closed by the free trade, for the manufacture of munitions of war, is free trade prosperity, why does the Democratic Congress impose addi tional taxes and threaten an issue of bonds to make up a great national deficit in revenues? — Walter J. Ballard ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE STEP. It is interesting to note that one of our leading merchants of Freeport has taken another step in improving the village. Mr. H. SchlosV bps e r e c t ed two beautiful Iron lamp posts in front of his department store. Mr. Schloss was the first to have farm for twenty or more years.
