Vote ^'Yes" on Long Beach
 ^ Proposition
To-Morrow
Reasons Wb; the Land Ougtit
to be Sold to Senator
Reynolds
Big Benent to Town
other   "Offers"   Considered
Wby Was Sabbatb Desecrated to Get Circulars Ont?
After careful conaideration we are satislied that the proposition to pur¬ chase parcels of land eaat and west of the present holdings of the Estates of Long Beach should be voted favorably tomorrow by the people of the Town of Hempstead. We have indeed ^'iven much thought to this proposition and have listened to aurgments favorable and unfavorable and it certainly does seem that voting favorably upon this proposition will resu.t in much perm¬ anent benelit to the Town of Hemp¬ stead.
The propo-iition is entirely a business one for Mr. Reynolds as well as for tlio Town. It is therefore due to each voter that he carefully weii^h the pro¬ ject befure votini^; and we feel con¬ vince;! that if he does he will vote in favor.
The ijro,)ositioii of Senator Reynolds provides that the Town sell by bargain and aale detd a parcjl of bthch marsh and meadow lands and laiuja unricr water from the eastern b(,undary of th^j Estatin of l.ons< He;ic,i Id Junes' Inlet and a Hecond i);ii- cel jontaininji; the same kind ot land west oi' the western hiiiiniiaiy of the Estates of L( ng liuach to Kaat Rockaway inlet. Nou', lets c .nsidar what the Senular oU'ers in his propo¬ sition. H irst, taking uf) the paicel of land kn'ivvn as Point l-uukuut; on the east. Point Lookout is leased by the Estates of Long Peach until the year 19;i(>. The Estates in turn sublets a portion of Point i^ookouc to the Nassau Cottage and Realty Company. The Town receives $000 per year rent and no taxes from this end of the beach. Senator Reynolds' otFer provides that he will pay $40,tO » in cash and $(jO,- 000 in the form ot a purchase money mortgage at 6 per cent, on the prop¬ erty at Point Lookout; also to extend the channel or great waterway as now being conatructed frotn East Rockaway to Jones' Inlet also to reserve immedi¬ ately at Point Lookout for the people a public park having 1000 feet front¬ age on the ocean and on the waterway containing in all approximately 40 acres. This Park is to be maintained and policed by the Senator and his as¬ sociates until they shall have finished the development at Point Lookout, when the Park is to be deeded to the Town for the consideration of $1.00 if the Town desires to regain ownership. The boardwalk now in the course of construction at Long Beach will also be continued easterly along the ocean front across the Park and along the beach to Jones' Inlet. To complete the Park according to the contract offered in the proposition the Senator will have to pay approximately $150,- 000. Thus it appears that instead of $100,000, his offer is $250,000 for the property in question. And if, after the Park is completed, the Town of Hempstead should determine that it would rather sell the Park to the Sena¬ tor for private developmenti rather than maintain it as a Public Park, the Senator will give the Town $150,000 in cash for it. {
Point Lookout from time  immemor¬ ial  has  been  but  a desert waste  or stretch of land and marsh land.    It has been occasionally used by  the  people for beach parties  and   things  of  that character,  and  if this proposition   is favorably voted the Park will be  used for the same purposes, as well  as  the beach   along the entire ocean  front. This   deed doea not   take   away   the rights  of the public, as has been   said by a number of speakers and paid at¬ torneys who have  been going around the Town in opposition  to the  Senat-1 or's proposition.    Thus the people do j not lose any of the pleasure which they ; have previously had there but will find by the improvement of the Park  they I will have considerable more room with I shade   and   sittihg    accommodations, I fountains,   play   grounds   and    other' things   of   like  character   for    their amuaement.    Imagine, if you can, sit- \
ting in the Park at Pomt Lookout in a shady nook or dell watching the waters in the beautiful fountains which would be illuminated at night and hearing the straitis of n^usic from such famous orchestras as Sousa, Her¬ bert and others.
Imagine, if you can, fino ball fields and athletic courses for the use of the public. With such improvements would not the public be better catered to than with the present marsh land, mosquito pest holes, muck, the home of the soldier crabs or hddler.M? These, when the Park is completed, will be entirely eliminated as well as the tor¬ turous green-fly with which the people of the Town have been -^o familiar. Can you not see how much more bene¬ ficial this Park will be to the Town of Hempstead, than lying as it is in its prer.ent condition?
This property  at Point Lookout con¬ tains a number of old shacks,  so-called board-walks, and like  minor   improve- i ments.    Now   look   at    the    contrast. At Long Beach in but 2J years Senator j Reynolds   and his associates have filled in the marsh lands; eliminated the mo- Isquito pest holes and the home  of  the j soldier  crab and greenflies.    The land has been filled, raised and graded;   ae¬ wer, water, electric light and gas con¬ duits hulit; streets laid out, graded and paved, granitoid  sidewalks  construct¬ ed; beautiful flower beds planteii:  and a magnificient large board-walk   erect¬ ed, besidea hotels, casinos,   stores  and ! private residences.
! Two and one-half years ago when the i Town voted to sell the land north of what was then known as Long Beach to Senator Reynolds and his associates, ; the taxes received hy the Town of j Hempstead from that territory were very meagre. In fact, previous to ! July 15, 1907, the Town in its entire history received from taxes on Long Beach only $37,414.17. Immediately I after the sale to the Estates of Long .Beach the Town received $9,831.50 in taxes. In 1908 it received over $20,000, and the lax rate was reduced considerably tl creby. This year, pro¬ viding the tax rate remains the aame as last year, Long Beach will be taxed by the Town of Hempstead $54,174. This year Long Beach ia paying 1-lOth of the taxes received by the entire Town of Hempstead, for Town Tax, County Tax, State Tax, Health Tax, Road Tax and School Tax. UO YOU REALIZE THAT NEXT YEAR LONG BEACH WILL PAY $100,000 IN TAXES, OR 1-5 OF THE ENTIRE TAX RECEIVED BY THE TOWN. Thia is 14 times as much as Merrick pays; 1*3 times as much as Wantagh pays; over 20 timea as much as Sea¬ ford pays; over 5 times aa much as Lnybrook pays; Jicarly 4 times as much a^ Valley Stream pays; nearly 3 times what Rockville Centre pays; nearly 10 times what Roosevelt pays; more than Inwood and Cedarhurst combined; $40,000 more than Hempstead pays; $10,000 more than Freeport pays, AND LONG BEACH IS LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD.
We desire to call the attention of our readers to the fact that this enor¬ mous increase in assessments has been due entirely to expenditures of Sena¬ tor Reynold's money and the money of the outside peopie whom he has inter¬ ested and which has come almost en¬ tirely from outside of the Town of Hemiistead. The land unimproved will never pay more than nominal taxes. The Town is taxing the im¬ provements and with the great im¬ provements at Long Beach our readers may readily see that the additional taxes will lower the entire tax rate of the Town, and within 20 years at least, possibly within 10, the Estates of Long Beach and Senator Reynolds will be paying more than one-half of the en¬ tire taxea of the Town. The Senator has at Long Beach now in course of constrution and to be built this winter a tniilion and half dollars' worth of houses personally. In addition to this by next Spring over 100 homes will be in course of construction by purchasers at Long Beach, thus increasing the assessment roll at least $1,000,000 more. Within three weeks the pier ex¬ tending out in the ocean is to be start¬ ed. This will cost three-fourths of a million dollars and will contain one of the largest convention halls in the j world. I
Improvements of like character will \ be made at  Point  Lookout,     Senator I Reynolds has arranged with  the Nas-: sau-by-the-Sea Co.  for  an option on ! their   lease-hold   if   the   proposition j should be favorably  voted upon,  thus i eliminating a lot of houses  which  add { nothing to the better   appearance   of I Point Lookout.      Other  lease-holders j will be  protected by  the  Senator so t^»at now there is no  lease-holder on Point Lookout opposed to the  propo'Si- tion of Senator Reynolds.
While the development of Point Lookout means much to the whole town of Hempstead, it will particular¬ ly benefit property contiguous to it at | Baldwin, Freeport, Merrick, Bell¬ more, Wantagh and Seaford, as well I as the inland villages of Roosevelt and Hempstead.
OTHER PROPOSITIONS.
No one seemed to  think  that the beach and marsh land at  Long  Beach
were of any particular value until afcer Senator Reynolds had purchased them. Then ifiose slow, lethargic, methodical people, who though appar¬ ently possessed of some business ac¬ umen, but require live leadership, began to awaken tu possibilities. They knew that Mr. Reynolds waa one of the largest and mcst successful Real Estate develop»rs (not speculator) in the United Statea, After gaziife with longing eyes upon his great develop¬ ment at Long Beach, they awakened, ' wondering why they had not the keen foresight of the Senator and offered to purchase the property before he di«i. While thua enjoying iheir somnolence, they were again awakened to find that Senator Reynoida was alive to his op¬ portunities and a resultant benefit to the whole Town of Hempstead. Then chagrined at their own dormant atate of mind they began to feel around in the hope of ascertaining some way to get in on the ground floor with the .Senator on hia proposition. But the Senator has no associates who lack in aggressiveness, and progressiveness, and he saw no reason for changing his business colleagues. Then those slow methodical would-be developers en¬ gaged lawyers, and determined that they would attepmt to blind the eyes and inulligence of the voters by filing alleged propositiona with the Town Clerk with the hope of defeating th"^ Senator's proposition, but the people of the Town awakened to this state of affairs and placed little credence in what these paid and other attorneys have been and are doing. The alleged propositiona of .Senator Kissell, of Brooklyn and Dr. Schmuck of Law¬ rence, offering to pay a larger sum of money for these lands, were intenued only to blind the intelligence of our voters against the proposition of Sen¬ ator Reynolds. These attorneys have been following the Senator around the town nightly, attempting to mislead the people and inault their intelligence, hoping thus to draw their minds away from the businesa-like [irufiustion so ably presented to tho various audi¬ ences, by the Senator. They cannot fool the newspaper men, however, who have become quite adept in discovtirint; their tricka. It is indeed peculiar thar no one citizen of the Town of Hemp¬ stead other than lawyers have gotten on the ])latform at the public meetings in opposition to Senator Reynolds, who \s but a plain thorough   business   man.
On the other hand ia presented in a half page advertisun^.en'' in this paper a statement to the votera of the Town of Hempstead submitted by five of the most responsible and largeat taxpayers and buainess men in t'io Town, Messrs., August Helmont, Arthur VV. Brierley, John H. Carl, John J. Randall, James H. P. Vandewater. SENTIMENTA L ('IRCI-LAKIZING
Lat(> Saturday nijjhr thi'so attorneys caused to 1m' i)riiited many thonsands of copies of a circular writted by I^awvcr George Wallace of Freeport, {tlie lair- yers again) which the same night auil on the Sabbath Day, were spread broadcast throughout the town in autn- iiiobiles, A])parenth' so anxious are tlioao who are opposed to Senator Rey¬ nolds that tbey even desecrate the Sab¬ bath Day, and we wish to call the at¬ tention ot studeiits of theology and n- ligiou to this fiu-t. Mr. WaUace's chief aim seema to have been to allow pro- . gi-easiveness and high developments give way to conditions as they existed a century or more ago, the days that have gone, never to return. He apparently is a type of tiie old school who claims that modern progresa is uot aiwaya a source of happiness and apparently be- liovea that modern improvements ari' not of much value to the "common people.''
It is not so many years sinco the primitive conditions he believes in prevailed at Coney Island. If such preferences as his had been consulted that resort would now be accesible to only a few "old-fashioned beach part¬ ies." It would be reached by wagon or sloop and for the millions of "com¬ mon people" who frequent it every season it would be as remote as the polar spot on which the American flag , has just been planted.
Mr. Wallace does not now travel   in ^ the old conveyances.    He  avails  him- \ .self of the service of a  locomotive  as differentiated from a wagon  and   pre¬ sumably prefers a parlor car,   and  yet j apparently he opposes agencies of pro- j gress, although one of the greatest of these that has ever come to the  notice \ of the Town of Hempstead is the pres¬ ent development of Long  Beach  and what will be  a  permanent  benefit  to the people of the Town at Point  Look-1 out. j
In that circular he says that Senator ' Reynolds is an "expert pleader on  the | platform and will mislead many—even the very elect.'    We doubt this very much.     Senator Reynolds'  argument has been plain   and straightforward. If it were not so, such men as  Messrs. Belmont, Brierley, Carl,   Randall  and Vandewater would not issue a  state¬ ment to the public such as appears in our paper today.      If  one   carefully j reads and digests the Wallace  circular he will readily see that it was written I by an attorney.    In fact, it is so word-1 ed as to leave no doubt that  it was written by one whose statements come | from   a   study   of  legal   phraseology' rather than from the beat and  purest j
thoughts in a layman's mind. The circular from beginning to end is in¬ tended to blind the intelligence of the I reader and thwart the carrying of a ' proposition which will be forever a benefit to the Town of Hempstead.
PartijMilar stress is laid iu a statement JO tho effect that Long Beach will be a (ity not r..xHi le in the Town of Hemp¬ stead This is but anoiher misleading atat' nient. We ask our readers would i' Ix^ of benelit to Senator Reynolds to establish a city at Long Beach without ; auy lown or Connty highways leading i to the aevelopment? How would the p'Ople, whom the Senator anticipates will build homes ana busiuess places there, reach the beach if they had no art^fy of tfavel; or is it feasible or platisibk^ to believe that the Town of Hempstead wonld construct reads lead¬ ing to the city if they were receiving no taxes from fhe land there and the im- provementK? No. It is indeed improb¬ able, it is only another attempt of the lawyer to "pull the wool over the e.yes of the people." Atlantic City is the greatfst reaort in (he Un ted.ytatea aud millions are s|)eiit there every year, and the aurrouudiug county profits as much HS do the beach jieople themselves. Doea it not stand to reason that with the great developmeur at Long Beach all the people of onr town will be b nefited';'
Do uot make a mistake ou Tneaday; mistakes ate beyond recall. Let ua le honest. Reason within oi-rselves: make uo mistake and make the vote for the propo.sitiou to sell th<> land to Senator Reyuolda so large that those who have been iu opposition to the proposition be¬ cause of the legal fees they were getting out of it will never agiiiu attempt to thwart the intelligi nee of our readers.
Our advice to every one of our readers is to vote favorably upon Proposition No. I when you come to the polls to-morrow.

A   PET   MONKEY.
Its   Pranks   With   an   Author's   Manu¬ scripts and  Decorations.
A Paris contemporiiry dealing with tbe love of irr«»at men for animals gives an amusing account of Cbnteau- brlnud and bis monkey. When be was engaged iu preparing Kontanes' works for the press, on returning one doy he was met by his monkey.
"Ah. you rogue," snld Chateaubriand, "your shamefaood look tells of mis¬ chief." The monkey wus chaine«l up, but as things did not appear mucb dis¬ turbed Chateaubriand thought no more of the matter until it was time to re¬ sume work. I'ontnnes' manuscripts were not to he found.
.\t last Chnteiiubrtand looked into the waste paper basket, and there were the manuscripts. The monkey had watched his master, and as he had seen him fold a sheet of paper aod tear it Into four, so he had dealt with Fontanes" writings. With much labor they were pieced together and after- ^ ward publialnHl. \
Chateaubriand   thought  it  advisable \ to see v\ hat else the monkey had done. Ilia   orders   liad   diaappeured   from   a drawer whicli was always kept closed. ; The servants searched everywhere for ; them, but they were not to be found. ; Nearly   a   week   elapsed   before   they ; were traced, and then a domestic no¬ ticed that Ihe monkey had suspended them  to  the cornice in  a  quasi-sym- ¦ metrical wny.
The monkey was given his conge, and <'li.itbeaubriand replaced him by a cal. which was allowed a place on his master's writing table, nnd great was the pleaaure which he derived in playing with puss.
A   MARRIAGE   NOTICE.
DIVING   FOR   COINS.
The Natives of Madeira Are Experts at the  Business.
As wo drew in and came to anchor we saw descending upon us a (leet of small, curious boats lilied with half naked men. We suspected now thnt Madeira was a cannibal island and pro- liared for the worst. It was not quite as liad ns that. They merely Avanted ua to throw coins over into tho liquid .'izure which they call water in this country, whereupon their divers would try to intercept the said coins some¬ where between the top nnd bottom of thc sea. We didn't believe they could do it. but we tried nnd, ns usunl. found that the other fellow knew his own game better thnn we did.
If those nmphibinns did not always get the coins they generally did. They could see them perfectly Jn that amaz¬ ing water, and thcy could dive like seals. Si^mo of the divers were mere children—poor, loan creatures who stood up in their boats and shouted and imiilored and swung their arms in a wild invitation to ns to fling oar money overboard. But they did not want small money—at least not very small money. Thcy declined to dive for pennies. Perhaps they could only dis¬ tinguish the gleam of the white metal. Let it nickel <ir n dime be tossed over and two or three were nfter it in a flash, while a vehoment outbreak of Portuguese from all the rest entreated still further largess. It was really a good show, and, being the flrst of Its kind, we enjoyed it.—Albert Blgelow Paine in Outing Magaziue.
Meaning of the Green Bough. Thc cuatom of placing n greeu bough on the roof of a newly built house is not conhned to Germany, but wns adopted by the French Canndinns, who brought It with them from Brittany. The custom originated from the super¬ stition prevalent centuries ago that every tree is Inhabited by a spirit; consequently it wns believed thnt ev¬ ery time a tree was felled another spirit was dispossessed, and this was supposed to cause some bitterness on his part against society. Rather than risk having these homeless and dis¬ gruntled spirits vent their ill feeling upon the houses uuder construction or upon the builders a brancb was plant¬ ed on tbe highest part of the house for their occupancy. They were then supposed to be mollified, and If tbey re'nalned so until tbe roof was put on any evil design contemplated would prove harmless, for tbe spell would be broken.—Van Norden's Magazine.
