Ready for Another Round.—'Tls ¦aid there's juat a tinge of envy among Hempstead Democrats at the contemplation of one man leading a Town Committee for a quarter of a century—for that is the record of Charles Smith of Baldwin, chairman of the Hempstead Republican Town Committee. He Is ready for the twenty-sixth round.
Elvln N.—Tbe political gofwips as¬ sert that the Nassau Democrats are casting goo-goo eyes Elvln N. Ed- -wards, hoping he may accept a nomi¬ nation for District Attorney which will give them a chance for endorse¬ ment- Needless to say it isn't a Re¬ publican nomination of the counsellor ¦which would gladden their hearts. It is recalled In this connection that he and the Chief Tenant of Sagamore Hill are on exceptionally friendly terms
Upstairs Whiskey.-^t is related of the Democratic desire to hold oflfice on Long Island—and Incidentally of the desire to prevent some other fellow holding It—that a protest was re¬ cently lodged against a good Long Island Democrat's recognition on the ground that he occasionally llkkered up. It is further related that when Postmaster-General Burleson read the protest he remarked: "It's the qual¬ ity of the likker that counts with this Administration, If It's Upstairs, it's all right; that's the kind we use in Texas." It recalls the story of Abra¬ ham Lincoln when reminded that Oeneral Grant occasionally imbibed and hla remark that he wished he knew the general's brand so it could be furnished to more of the Union generals, as they seemed to need some stimulant to greater activity, moral or otherwise.
Off to Chicago.—The plans of the "'Big Four" of Nassau for attendance -upon the Republican convention are now complete, and together National Delegate Wilbur Doughty, State Com¬ mitteeman Jerry Wood, Supervisor Hiram R. Smith, and Congressman Fred. Hicks will Journey to Chicago, leaving the comforts of Nassau for the perspiration and turmoil of the Windy City the Saturday before the convention. It's a ten-to-one shot, they'll all be mighty glad when dear old Nassau heaves In eight once more. The flnest place in the United States for a national convention Is your own veranda, within sight of your own bed of mint and easy reach of a trusting Xrocet down at the corner.
ness reputation who is thoroughly in touch with Hempstead affairs of the present day. In a word Mr. Carl Is not even considered for political pref¬ erment by the Democracy of Hemp¬ stead. There comes a time in every political party when its "war horses" are put out to pasture. Ungrateful this may seem, but the jostle of "the young man in politics" Is eternal and the "old men," if they are wise, retire with gladsome faces. If they are otherwise, the Organizations become the Doctor.
A Warrior BoTd.—"fhe writer of the Brooklyn Eagle "Personal and Imper¬ sonal" column betrays Impatience with our Government for not rushing I into war on the side of the Allies. ["Men in Europe," he says, "are dy- jing by thousands to save Democracy from perishing from the earth, and our strong arm in defense of the heri¬ tage of the fathers is a packet of notes." We hope he will pardon the rest of us Long Islanders tor not sharing his eagerness to become in¬ ternes of those front trenches. There can be no po.ssible objection, how¬ ever, to his representing us on any ' field of carnage that may be selected at random. If it be true that the pen lis mightier than the sword, the Allies I would be assured of a most valiant 'champion. Meanwhile Long Islanders generally may be pardoned for their 'natural unwillingness to become meat ¦for the voracious appetite of those Big Berthas. Was is a dreadful thought except apparently in the Eagle's com¬ fortable cock-loft. Of course, the Eagle man has signed up for a season in the Plattburgh barracks.
A Democratic Jest.—Somebody in a spirit of jest, say the South Side Democrats, must have nominated the Hon. John H. Carl of Baldwin for supervisor for the running next aprlng; for the Democrats themselves have no notion of doing anything of the sort. Mr. Carl has been honored several times with this particular nomination but each time he failed to arrive on the day of electloii. Mr. Carl is so engrossed with "^ils busi¬ ness in New York and with the bank¬ ing business in Rockville Centre, that the Democrats believe it would do him an injustice to place him at the fore¬ front of a spring campaign, particu¬ larly if it seemed to spell disaster. Moreover, they say, the times have changed and to such an extent that only a younger Democrat can hope to win—somebody of unexcelled busi-

Unstable Politicians.—"The mix-up in our county. " said a Suffolk Demo¬ crat, '"Is another illustration of the curious politics being played by some¬ body in Administration circles. Con¬ gressman Lathrop Brown, by his fealty to the Administration would seem to be entitled to recognition as the leader of the Suffolk Democracy, and yet overnight his nominees for the Port Jefferson and Patchogue postofflces are turned down, and in the twinkling of an eye, two nominees of the opposition are conflrmed. It was all done quicker than you could say Jack Robinson, It reminds one of the Democrat in Brooklyn who was persuaded by the President's New York frienda to undertake the job of b(X)stlng McCooey out of the leader¬ ship of the Kings Democracy, John F. Dwyer was his name and for flf¬ teen years he had held a civil service position In a municipal court. Y'ield- Ing to the temptation he surrendered it for the offlce of stamp contractor, a very profitable Federal offlce, and the unhorsing of McCooey began. It didn't proceed far, for Dwyer was suddenly removed one day, his offlce was given to a political opponent and he was left high and dry by the Ad¬ ministration. To Son-in-law Secretary McAdoo, he wrote In his letter of pro¬ test: "AH this prompts me to protest to you against your gross injustice to me. And I beg to suggest to you in conclusion that the sort of politics played in this county by you and Stuart Q, Oibboney will be endorsed neither by the regular nor by the in¬ dependent Democracy. Manly men do not sanction euch methods,' "
"It further reminds me," said the Suffolk brother with a laugh, "of Villa, once the pet of the Administra¬ tion, who was suddenly abandoned for Carranza, as told by the Brooklyn Eagle; and also of C-a-r-ramba! It Is clear enough to me that the Adminis¬ tration's politicians are Opportunists of the flrst water; little fellows ele¬ vated to big positions who don't keep faith with anybody, the kind who never last In any political game, na¬ tional or local. It's the one thing about this Administration that shakes a Democrat's faith In Wilson."
"Yes," said the Nassau Democrat soothingly. "Did you ever hear of tbe fate of Jim Smith and Jim Nugent and Colonel Harvey and Jim Nugent In New Jersey?"
Put not your trust In princes, sigh¬ ed the palmist; nor all your eggs in one basket, observed practical Uncle Remus.
That duPont Boom.—The duPont presidential boom surges and resurges. In other words, has its ups and its downs. First, the busy McHarg open¬ ed headquarters In lower Broadway, where the boom was exhibited to Business. Then he moved It up to the Waldorf-Astoria for a turn In Society. Now it's back again n^ar the head of Wall street within plain view of the new Equitable building and its real proprietor. The eye of the master fattens the ass, 'tis eaid, and from now on the boom—perhaps—will length¬ en and thicken. It will ever be a keen disappointment to Nassau that Oeneral duPont failed to provide for It a hangar such as is furnished the other llghter-than-air construc¬ tions now careering over the Hemp¬ stead Plains. Painful as is the ad¬ mission, in the interest of Truth it must be said that the duPont boom is taken none too seriously. Seibold re¬ ports in T'he World that the odds against the Oeneral's getting the Re¬ publican nomination are 200 to 1. Un¬ doubtedly the telegrapher dropped several noughts, for what Louis prob¬ ably wired was 200,000 to 1. But that's nothing. A Flower presidential boom once Invaded the National De¬ mocracy and faced odds of a million to one when it "bueted." Thus bis-
REDISTRICT NASSAD TWO ASSBIBLYHAM
By the action of the board of su¬ pervisors Tuesday morning, Nassau county was divided into two assembly districts, in conformity with Chapter 373 of State law recently amended. The township of Hempstead, with a population of 63,271, will herealter be known as the flrst assembly dis¬ trict, and Oyster Bay and North Hempstead, with a population of 53,- 554, will be the second assembly dis- trlst.
An application was made to the board by Elvin N. Edwards, on behalf of the Elmont Cemetery, Inc., of which John H. Van Nostrand is presi¬ dent, for the extension of its boun¬ dary to take in 233 more acres. The cemetery is somewhat congested, be¬ ing one of the oldest on Long Island, the original charter being granted in 1737.
The Legislature recently passed a bill permitting the extension of the cemtery, with the approval of the su¬ pervisors. That body has oet July 8, at 10 a. m., for residents of that vicin- itv to be heard.

Wearied New Yorkers.—It's a mighty busy body, that New York City Board of Health, when not en¬ gaged in protecting the traveling pub¬ lic by compelling It to stand on the corner rain soaked 'till a not too crowded car comes along, it turns ite attention to the down-trod in the New York sky-scrapers, convinced that wretched ventilation is doing a work all too deadly. Any day an order may be expected removing the Woolworth tower and ripping off the roofs of its humbler neighbors. When the epitaph of the board is written it should in¬ sist that the board minded Its own business neither wisely nor well. Wearied New Yorkers are enquiring if there's anything like it in all Rus¬ sia.

By virtuei of offlclal designation, portions of ffte session laws recently passed and sitined by the governor, are printed on pAc<e 7 of this issue of The Nassau Post. They are known as Chapters 178, 177, 145, 153 and 157, and have to io with the membership corporation law in relation to ceme¬ teries in Nafluiu county, the village police departnients, the rebonding for the payment Of the certain bonded In¬ debtedness of the County of Queens and the employment of additional clerks and assistants for the town business.
TO STANDARDIZE ALLTOWNSALARIES
The reguiar meeting of the town board was'held on Tuesday at Hemp¬ stead. ¦Setting forth in detail in a a lengthy cqpiniunication, the large amount of ex ,ra work imposed by the recent enactl lenls of the legislature, the members'Jf the board of asses.sors reiiuested an Increase or salary to $1,.800 a yeaf. Since It was evident that there w(|uid be other requests of a similar nature from the various of¬ ficials. It was suggested, that the town board once and for all standardize the salaries of a.11 town officials. The sug¬ gestion was approved by the members of the board, and the clerk was in¬ structed to notify all heads of depart¬ ments to flle any applications and to appear in person, at the next meeting of the board to be held on Wednesday, May 31, at 2 o'clock.
The sum of $100 was appropriated to be divided equally between the Mott Post of Freeport and the Moses Baldwin Poat of Hempstead, to be used for Memorial Day purposes. Birdsall Jackson of Wantagh, engi¬ neer In charge of the town dredging, reported on the status of the work, predicting that the dredging would be entirely completed in about two weeks. He outlined in brief plans for buoying channels.
TELEPHONE HEM AT SOCIETY DINNER
Freeport telephone men were Intelllcently.. Prepared by S. I.. Wood.
among the 3,000 who attended the an¬ nual dinner of the Telephone Society of New York on Friday night, in the Seventy-first Regiment Armory, New York City. The local party included Manager Ryder, J. N. Phillips, George Gaugell and C. A. Richmond.
The dinner was one of the most re¬ markable that has ever been given in this country. The 3,000 telephone men in the big drill shed of the militia armory, were joined by telephone with 3,200 other telephone meu In PhHadelphia, Baltimore and San Francisco. Each of the 6.200 diners had a hand telephone receiver permit¬ ting him to participate in the demon¬ strations of wire and wireless tele¬ phony.
^r. Ryder, manager of the tele¬ phone company's business offlce here, said today that the exploits with the two forms of communication followed each other at the dinner with such paridlty and were intermingled with so many other features, that most of the diners felt bewildered. "To rea¬ lize the significance of what was transpiring was practically out of the question. The small boy who got lock-jaw from gaping at the first cir¬ cus elephant he ever saw, co'ald have found many kindred souls In the big audience in New York, and I have no doubt that many of the men at the other dinners felt the .same way."

L.I.R.R. PETITIONS PUBLIC SERVICE GOM.
The Long Island Railroad has just about given up trying to get commut¬ ers not to linger so long over breaK- fast that they have to hop their trains on the fly. According to the state¬ ment of C. D. Baker, general manager, before the up-State Public Service Commission at Albany Wednesday more accidents have occurred to per¬ sons trying to board trains getting under way since the road has been us¬ ing the closed vestibule type of car than in the days when the steps and platforms were not enclosed.
"They try to get on anyway," said -Mr. Baker. "Just the other day a man was so determined to board a train the vestibules of which had been closed that he clung to the outside of the door while he was dragged 200 yards and flnally killed."
The railroad hae gone before the up-State commission to ask that it be permitted to run its trains on the open vestibule principle on the lines outside the city of New York.

NOTES OF CONGRESS
By CONG. F. C. HICKS.
The principal legislative proposi¬ tion under discussion during the week related to appropriations for control¬ ling the floods which frequently de¬ vastate the Mississippi Valley and other sections of the country, and the establishment of a system of rural credits.
For years the planters residing near the bank of the MLsslssippi have suffered from floods which have caus- ¦ great property loss and rendered many acres uncertain of continuous cultivation. With the deforestation and draining of swamp lands In the north the amount of water poured into the upper reaches of the river has increased and those living in the South claim that the national govern¬ ment should assist them In the build¬ ing of levees and revetment works.
The bill providing for rural credits calls for the establishment of 12 land banks under federal control and sup- eervision which will lend money to farmers on long time loans. Under the provisions of the bill, the land boards of regional banks after inves¬ tigating the applications and making the loans will issue bondu against the mortgages, and with the money thus obtained from investors, new loans will be made. It Is claimed that un¬ der this bill the rates of Interest in the Southern and Western States will be reduced to the same basis ae that enjoyed by the farmer of the more favored sections.
Next week the shipping bill will be under discussion.
KEOGH NAMED DBM. TOWMOHAIRMAM
The "mill" that was promised for Democratic circles at last Wednesday night's meeting, at Mineola. was not pulled off. At the last moment the opposition to State Committeeman Bert Gardner punctured a tire and things flattened out.
Of the 62 county committeemen present, 49 were recorded for the Gardner program in all Its details. Two of the others, Felix Reifschneid- er. Jr., of Hempstead, and Lyman N. ones, of Freeport, stood by their guna on one roll call; the third, Oleboy Bill Jaeger, of Rockville Centre, stood mute—simply ran away from Felix nd Lyman, thus demonstrating to the satisfaction of these two eminent Democrats what Rockville Centre Democrats long since discovered, the weakness of this particular reed for leanlng-upon purposes. Committee¬ men generally laughed at the exhibi¬ tion of instability, not to say cow¬ ardice, of the R.V.C. blusterer.
Mr. Jones did not allow his name to be presented as chairman of the Hempstead Town Committee, and his neighbor, Edward S, Keogh, of F"'ree- port, was elected to that offlce.
Girdell V. Brower proposed John S. Thorp of Rockville Centre for secre¬ tary of the town committee, and he was elecled unanimously, Jaegar still remaining dumb. Mr. Thorp is the oflicial manager of the sports in which the R.V.C, Club Is Interested and which have given it celebrity in tho amateur world. This is his first termii- as committeeman and as he has refer- ed many bouts and contests success¬ fully, he is prepared for whatever may happen in the Schodic district.
Committeeman Jacob Daub of the Branch was elected treasurer.
The two vacancies In the county committee in Belmore and Oceansido were filled by electing John J. Bedell to the former and Charles A. McGuire to the latter, Mr, McGuire succeeds Postmaster Girdell V. Brower, resign¬ ed. He is a well known oyster planter and shipper.
It was the vote to seat Mr. Bedell that disclosed the opposition to Gard¬ ner's program. It is said that Felix Is losing confidence in typewritten bulletins as a means of creating oppo¬ sition to the organization.
The next meeting of the town com¬ mittee will be held at the Pequot'a club house in Rockville Centre. The Democrats threaten to do things this fall.
New Member of Firm.
F. J. Wetmore, for five years past engaged in business as a traveling salesman for a hardware house has become associated with the manage¬ ment of Alley Bros., Incorporated, and will shortly purchase an interest in the concern. Mr. Wetmore's previ¬ ous experience In the hardware trade will doubtless serve him In good stead and in associating himself with the well known flrm he has made a move that will cause him no regret. Mr. Wetmore w-lll continue to make his home in Freeport for tbe present, but will later make Babylon his place of abode.

S.S. YACHT CLUB OPENING MAY 30
The officers of the South Shore Yacht Club have announced that the club house will be opened for the sea¬ son on May 30. In the afternoon there will be motor boat races, while in the evening there will be the usual reception. Professor Cordes and his able assistants have been engaged for the season. These popular dances will eontinue on each Saturday night com¬ mencing June 17, until the close of the season, and alun on July 4 and on Labor Oay.

The old salts are expected to gather round and tell their weird tales of the sea. At these affairs arrangement will be made for some mode of entertainment. This is to be an informal get-to-gether night.
The offlce of fleet captain has just been created for the club. The neces¬ sity for it was apparent. The regula¬ tion of anchorages In front of the club house has heretofore been left to take care of Itself; now there Is to be some system in this respect.
Joe Treadwell, better known as Joe. who has been at the club house so many years and given such universal satisfaction, will again cater to the hungry and thirsty.
