Vol. 7 No. OFFICIAL PAPER FREEPORT THE NASSAU POST, FREEPORT, N. T„ FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1917. OFFICIAL PAPER OF NASSAU COUNTY. PRICE TWO CENTS —..I. —i.. ■ OH MEN AGAINST 1 RESTRICTING VOTE Alien Element in Popu lation Centers Has ' Great Weight (Special C o r r e s p o n d e n c e .) Albany, March 13.—The leglalaiun has gone on record, so far as the sen ate Judiciary com m ittee Is concerned, as favoring the passage and enactm e n t of the concurrent resolution Introduced by Senator Elon It. Brown of W ater- tow n , tem p o rary president of the sen ate. This provides th a t a f te r l$»VO n<« person who a t that tim e is not entitled to vote shall lie perm itted to do so un less such prospective voter is able i • both read and w rite the English lan guage. It m ay be that the great personal Influence of Senator Brown had som t w e ight In having the resolution favor ably reported from the Judiciary com m ittee, or the views of the member* m a y have been such th a t they regard ed the proposition as n w o rthy on»i and did not consider the opposition the m e a sure. At any rate, it will soon be on the senate calendar, and if It passes th a t house It will go to the a s sem bly for consideration. Measure Has Many Enemies. The Brown bill, known as the lit eracy test, has m any enem ies. This fact develojied a t the public hearing, during which m a n y argum e n ts went raised against it. F o r this reason it VVT P e rkins of New York city, the well known financier, as a m em ber of the foods and m a rkets commission ns pro posed, It is understood that he will tie nam ed. INiose who are urging the ap pointm ent by flie governor of Mr. Per kins point out that his interest In the proposed new commission Is based upon public spirited ness and th a t he will bring to the commission his broad business knowledge, which cannot fall to be a fieneflt in the adm inistration of the projiosed combined agricultural and weights and m e a sures depart m ents. Mr. Perkins, it will be rem em bered, played an Im p o rtant part in the work of Investigating the produce and dairy affairs of the state, which was used as a part of the fram e w o rk for the foods iwid m a rkets bill. Because Asset#blym an C allahan of New York, leader of the D e m o crats In the lower house, has condem ned the W icks com m ittee bill it Is taken th a t the m em bers of the m inority party will oppose it when it comes up for final passage in the assembly, man C allahan lias c-harai measure^as one erected for the purpose of patronage. H e has Introduced a bill of his own upon the sam e subject, yet ipilte different, since it provides for u bond issue for the purpose of establishing term inal m a rkets In the eitles of the state to sell produce at cost or w ith a small profit to the state. Can Now Meet Deficiencies. The approval of the em ergency ap propriation bill by the governor has now made It possible to meet the de ficiencies of charitable institutions lie- cause of the Increased prices of food and m a terials which were Incurred last year.

T h e fact th a t America is threatened w ith w a rfare Is one of the strong rea sons, it is said, why all who dwell here and share the system of govern m e n t should unite and adhere to insti tutions and custom s which prevail. T h is argum e n t was brought out at th i hearing and will be used when the de bate !s waged upon the bill. Whitman Favora Preparedness Plane. G o v ernor W h itm an has come boldly Into the o|ien and announced that li • w ill favor all plans for preparedoest advocated by the legislature. In i. statem e n t given out lie calls attentlo i to the bill Introduced by Senator Theodore Douglas Robinson of One.da county, which calls for a census of th* assets of the state wlik-h might h • necessary to be made available in cas.i of w ar. T h e executive calls attention to the fact th a t the Robinson bill Is moMM-oiupreheuslve than the pmvl slons of the m ilitary law. which con tem p lates the enrollm ent of uhlehodicd m a le citizens of the state who are be tw e e n the ages of eighteen and forty- five years. “The census and inventory of re sources of this state.\ says the gover nor, “available for use In the event of w a r would Include women available for service as well as the men. money, the industrial and m a terial resources of the state, m u n itions and m ilitary supplies m a n u factured or procurable w ithin the state.

In ad ditlon, th a t a m ere list of nam es can be of little value. \ I f the act referred to Is passed by the legislature.\ G o v ernor W h itm a n promises, \It will have my approval •a providing additional m eans of ear rying forw a rd the work of m ilitary preparedness, to all m e a sures for the accom p lishm ent of which 1 have given my heartiest support and encourage 1 m e n t.” Fight on Food Control Bill.

From a reliable source comes the declaration th a t as the bill now stands It is objec tionable to m a n y Influential people throughout the state.

This appropriation w h s necessary if circuit races w ere to be held a t the state falf a t Syracuse lu Septem b e r next. Com m enting upon the em ergency ap- proprlatlon bill, now a law, the ex ecutive has this to say: ••In this appropriation bill the num ber of item s for each departm e n t is s<i sm all th a t no delay should occur to the enactm e n t of the appropriation.” 500,000 Men Available In State.

The figures of the staid health departm e n t are based upon cen sus data and past experience regard ing the physical condition of men pre senting them selves for enlistm ents. G o v ernor W h itm a n will shortly dis pose of the bill providing for universal m ilitary training for all boys in New’ York state, the senate and assembly having both nassed the m easure.

Birth Control Bill Dead. T h a t the present session of the New York state legislature will not pass odd law s is evinced by the fact that the death blow has already been dealt the m easure which seeks to distribute widely under the protection of a sta t ute, literature relative to birth control. May Not Prohibit Boxing. In spite of the desire of Governof W h itm an th a t boxing exhibitions in New York state be .discontinued through the repeal of the present law) perm itting the sport under the direc tion of the state athletic commission, an attem p t will be made by influential legislators to obtain the consent of th« executive that the bill before both houses aim ed to abolish the boxing com m issioners be so am e n d ed that the ring gam e may be continued. A sub com m ittee of the senate Judiciary com m ittee has w a ited upon the governor and requested th a t he be more lenient and help devise some way whereby the sport be s trictly regulated.

This is especially tru e of the p a r ents and friends of the high school students. In high school as well as in all other organizations, there m u s t be som ething to keep up the in terest of the m em bers. T h e re m u s t be re creation along w ith the study or else it would becom e a drudgery. The -syllabus of the New York S tate E d u c a tional D e p a rtm e n t, dls- tfnctly divides the education into two parts-—work and play. A lthough the first is probably the m o st essential the latter m u s t by no m eans be for gotten. The \play” of the Freeport H igh School is divided into two branches— The Student Association, which has to deal with athletics, and ‘‘The Student,” a paper published by the students in which it is intended to put forth the achievem e n ts of the students along the line of literatu r e and sports and give the other schools an idea of w h a t the school can do. Rome who m ight not be able to con tribute much to the line of sports, m ight be able to show their talen t by contributing a story, editorial, or criticism , to the school paper. In this way each student is in some way Interested in the w e lfare of the school and it is this in terest th a t m a k e s school life 'a success. These branches cannot be rug w ith out your support and we ask th a t you support all our school affairs, both financially and m e n ta lly. You m ay say, \T h e re are too m a n y benefits and entertainm e n ts in the school.” If we had m o re support from you In some of these affairs, they would nqt. need to come so often.
