lBp«clal iJorre»pontl*nt-«. I Albany, March l.'i.—The leglslatur i bas Kone on record, ao far as the sen¬ ate Judiciary committee Ih concerned, as favorkiK tbe iiaaaage and enactment of the concurrent restdutlou Introducetl by Senator Elon U. Brown of Water- town, temporary president of the sen¬ ate. This proviUes that after llrj<> n,« person w Uo at that time is uot entitled to vote shall lie fieruiltted to do so un¬ less such iirospet'tlve voter is able i • both read aud write the English Ian guage.
It may be that the great personal influence of Senator Brown had soiij. weight in having the resoluiion fav.ir- ably rept>rte(i from the Judi.-iary com¬ mittee, t>r the views of the member' may have been such that they regard¬ ed the proposition as a worthy oiiii aud did not consider the opposition t i tbe measure. At any rale. It will soon be on the senate t-alendar, and if it passes that hou.se It will go to the a.s sembiy for consideration.

English and who are solidly opiiosed to tbe proposition that those who come to America from their native land.-t shall be required to bid adieu to the!/ native tongues ^d adopt the language and literature of tne Fnltetl States.
The fact that America is threatened ¦with warfare is one of the strong rea¬ sons. It Is said, why all who tlwell here aud share the system of govern¬ ment should unite and adhere to Instl- tutit)n8 and customs which prevail. This argnineiit was brought mit at tlu hearing and will be nsetl when the tie- bate !s wagtHl mion the bill.
•Whitman Favors Preparedness Plans. (Jovernor Whitman has come boldly Into the o|)4>ii antl nnn()Uiic(^il that In ¦will favor all pbiiiM for iireparednes i advtK'ated by llu. legislature. In :. statement given tiiil he .-alls nttontio i to the bill Introduced by Senalo.^ Theodore Douglas ICoblnson of One.d-i county, which .-alls for a census of lb- assets t)f llie stale whicli iniglit In necessary to be made available in .-as • of war. Tlie executive calls aiioniinn to the fact that tlie Unbinsnn bir Is iiiotf^'oinprebeiislvo than the prnvl sitiiis (if tho milliar.v law. which .-on templates the enrollment of ablobotli.-.l male cltb.ens of the state who aro be¬ tween the ages of elght<»en and fort.v flve years.
"The census and Inventtiry of re Boiirces of this slate." says the gover nor, "nvallable for use In the event ot war would Uielude wonien available for service as well as the men, nioney, the Industrial and niaterlal resour.-es of the state, niunltltuis and military supplies nianufa.-lured or prociiralili- within the state Military strength tft'pends upon the orgnnl/.ntlon of such resourt-es, .V knowledge of such ns sets available for use in the event of war would l>e of undoubted advantage to the ftnleral and state authorlllea," The gtiveriior adds that he has al n>ady directed the adjutant general to millae to the fullest extent the In formation obtnlnnble from a state t-en- ¦ns which has only re(-ently been (-om- l>1ete<l and which should afford snb- stanllal Inftirinatlon on which to bas > enrollment. f\e says, however, In ad ditlon, that a mere list of names can be of little value.
"If the act referred to Is passed by the legislaiui-e," (Jovernor Whitman promises. "It will have my approval ts provltling additional means of car rj'lng forwani the work of military preparetliieas, to all measures for the KH'ompllshtnent of whIcJi I have given my heartiest stipixirt" and encourage ment."
Fight on Food Control Bill. It has develo|K>tl that the hill aimed to reduce the high cost of living and presented by the Wicks committee ap- •pointed, last year to investigate fooil ¦nd dairy conditions is likely to havt- a tempestuous passage through the legislature unlesa certain amendmeuts are made to it. It Is predicted, From • reliable source comes the declarstloii tbat as tbe bill uow stands it is objec¬ tionable to many influential people throughout the state.

In addition to the amount set aside for the penal and charitable Institu¬ tions of the state, there is an Item of i|!200.(X»ii for the construction of a build- ing for horses at the state fair. Thi.-4 apiiropriation was necessary If circuit races were to be held at the state fair at Syracnse In September next.
Coinmenthig upon the emergency ap¬ proiirlatlon bill, now a law, the ex¬ ecutive has this to say:
"In this appropriation bill the num¬ ber of items for each departnient is s.i small that no delay should tncur t<i the enactiuent of the approprtatlon." 500,000 Men Available In State. That there are over half a mlllio;i men who are available for lullltary servhe In this state in the event tbd Eulted Stalefl be( oines engaged In wal Is the statement made to .VdJutanI (ieneral Stotesbury by Deputy ('om¬ missioner of Health Williams. Ahoul au etpial number of meu are avallablj for se(ondary defense. Dr. Williami reports also. The flgures of the staU health department are based upon ceic sus data and past ex|>erlenee regard ing the physical condltlou of men pre¬ senting themselves for eiillHtments.
Oovernor Whitman will shortly dis¬ pose of the bill iHOvldlng for universal military training for all boys in .New" York state, the senate and assembly having both nassed the measure.

Birth Control Bill Dead. That the iiresent se.-^slou of the New' Vork state legislature will not i)asil odd laws is evineetl by the fact that the death blow has already been dealt the measure vvhieh seeks to distributo widely under tlie protection of a stat¬ ute, literature relative to birth ctintrol. May Not Prohibit Boxing. In spite of the desire of (Jovernof Whitman that boxing exhibitions in .New Vork state be discontinued through the reiieal of the present laW perniittlng the sport under tho direc¬ tion of the state athletic commission, au attempt will be made by influentinl leglslal'Jis to obtain the consent of tbti executive that the bill before both houses aimed to abolish the boxlmj commissioners be so amended that tha ring game may be continued. .V sub- commit lee of the senate Judiciary com¬ mittee has waited upon the governof and requested that he be more lenient and help devise some way whereby the siKirt be strictly regulated.
Senator George K. Thompson, chair¬ man of tlie committee of the legisla¬ ture named some time ago to investi¬ gate the affairs of the first and second dtsfrtct public service commissions, ts working out legislation to conform with the recommendations made in the report of that committee. Among tlje recommendations. Ill, question  Ig. that
For some time back it has been a matter plainly to be seen, that the parents of the students of the Free- port Public Schools are not giving the support due the students in af¬ fairs presented by the school.
This is especially true of the par¬ ents and friends of the high school students.
In high school as well as in all other organizations, there must be something to keep up the interest of the metnbers. There must be re¬ creation along with the study or else It would become a drudgery.
The syllabus of the New "Y'ork State Educational Department, dis- tfnctly divides the education into two parts-work and play. Although the ftrst is probably the most essential the latter must by no means be for¬ gotten.
Th(} "play" of the Freeport High 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 intendt^d to put forth the achievements of the students along the line of literature and sports and give the other schools an idea of what the schtwl can do. Some who might not be able to con¬ tribute much to the line of sports, might be able to show their talent by contributing a story, editorial, or criticlsni, to the school paper. In fhis way each student ts in some way interested in the welfare of the school and it is this interest that makes school  life 'a success.
These branches cannot be rug with¬ out your support and we ask that you support all our .school affairs, both financially   and   mentally.
You may say, "There are too many benefits and entertainments in the school."
If we had more support from you In some of these affairs, they would nrjf need to come so often. Think fhis over; then COME OUT AND HEEP.

OLD MASSAPEQUA RESDENT IS DEAD
.Mrs. John C. Anderson, for many years a respected resident of Massa¬ pequa, died on Friday March 9th, at the home of friends in Brooklyn, where she was visiting. The funeral services were held at 1042 Bergen St. Brooklyn, on Sunday afternoon and the Interment >vas in the family plot in Greenwood Celnet€#y, on Monday morning.
.Mrs. Anderson was born in 1838 in Philadelphia, the daughter of James and -Mary Wray. In 1861 she married John C. Anderson, a prominent cilizen who developed the East .Massapequa section and died a few years ago. She is survived by a son, John W. Anderson, president of the Ma.ssa- petjua Board of Trade, and by a daughter, Mr.*?. A. M. Nimmo, with whom she had made her home in East .Massapetiua. .Mrs. Anderson, was a consistent Christian woman, for many years a member of the Church of the stranger. New York City, but at the time of her death a member of Grace Episcopal Church, Massa¬ pequa. She was a member of Alpha Chapter, Eastern Star, since 1865 and for many years treasurer of the order Although past 78 years of age, she was very |ctive mentally and physic¬ ally, often walking several miles, and less than 24 hours before her death was with her daughter shopping in the   Brooklyn   stores.
.Mrs. Anderson was of the old school type of woman whom the young wo¬ men of to-day will do well to emulate for while in her younger days she waa well known socially in New York where her early married life was spent, and had up to her death taken great interest in all that pertained to the community, her flrst consid¬ eration was her fainily and her home. A large number of Massapequa friends attended the funeral and our greatest sympathy Is extended to her son and daughter.

The Democrats have been given "Hobson choice", but I will make my own. Uiven two candid¬ ates for Supervisor, both Republican, Hiram K. Smith and t;rnest S. Uand¬ all, the former the regular nominee of his party, and the last named, the nominee of a .so-called Fusion Party (disgruntled Uepblicans and erst¬ while Demociatsl 1 shall vote and work for  Hiram R. Smith.
I will not be made a cat'.s paw, and help this self constituted triumvirate "get' G. Wilbur Doughty, because he will not play the game, under the rules his former friends have  formulated.
I shall work from now on, to help ensure the election of Hiram R. Smith, and will spend my time, and nioney, to do so. anri in addliion, will urge nij- friends and fellow Democrais  to .uo and do likewise.
