Flies and mosquitoes are not only a nuisan^^'e In Freeport, but tbey are real dangers to heelth. Mosquitoes often carry the germs of malaria from one peraon to anoiher by their bites; the prdinary house fly Is brod In fllth and all his life he frequents filthy places, picks up countless germs and carries*them to the kitchen or dining room table with him.
The only way to comrol these pests is not to let them breed. Mosquitoes develop in small stagnant pools and Bluggish streams and in cesspools. If such pools are drained so as to have a free flow, if there are no barrels, or tin cans, or old well.s holding water for them to breed In, and if the ce«st>oolH are occasionally covered witli oil, Froeport wUl he free from the attacks.
The fly Is harden to control than the mosquito, for lie lives in all sorts of decaying liltli. The number of flies, however, can be reduced by keeping your liomes and premises as clean as possible from rubbish and by properly caring for manure. A sniall amount of borax sprinkled daily ou manure or other refuse will prevent flies from breeding.
No* Is the time for the residents of our communities to take action, to use every endeavor to, kill off the mos Quito and to lessen the number of flies.
Mr. A. A. Sealy of Bay View'is to be commended upon the work which ¦ he has already done In the process of extermination. He has provided all the crude oil to be used In that sec¬ tion; In many Instances having the work done at his own expense.

is a good thing to pass this patronage around. Brother Pearsall has been extremely fortunate In baring for over ten or twelve years bad the monopoly of village advertising in Freeport at top notch rates, no com petUlTe bids having previously been asked for, and in also being one of the offlcials papers of the town and county several times. At the present time It has been designated by the board of supervisors as the ofllclal county paper.
The Inquirer la of the opinion that certain l}apers, not only In Freeport, but elsewhere, have had more than their share of special privileges. We believe In living and letting others live and In giving the under dog a fair chance.
We appreciate that other people have equal rights with ourselves, and It In competition they bid us out we take off our hats to them and abide the chance to compel them to take off their hats to us.
Think It over, Brother Pearsall and cease mourning your loss. Your timo will come again some day, prob¬ ably. A Ilttle rest may prove betie- flolal.

(Udltorlal printed In The Hempstead Inquirer under datu of May 14.)
We note that Brother Pearsall of the Nassau County Review, ever since the vlllage election in Free- port, has felt a Ilttle bit "mlfty" and "sore" because the vlllage board did not designate the Revie# as the offlclal vlllage paper for the ensuing year, but appointed the Nassau County Post, a much younger product of journalism. Brother Pearsall seems to attribute the action of the board to Henry L. Maxson, who was elected one of the trustees of the vlllage last March. It seems, however, that when the question of the appointment of the offlcial village paper came before the board, Mr. Maxson stated that un¬ der the village law the board of trus¬ tees might designate ene offlcial paper «nd flx the advertising rate at not ex¬ oeedlng 75 cents a folio, and tbat In .view of this provision and of the fur¬ ther fact that Freeport has two papers, it was only fair In his opin¬ ion to give each paper a chance to secure the appointment by making bids., This suggestion met witb tbe approval ot the board and the news¬ papers were asked to submit rates at which they would do the oflicial ad¬ vertising and local publication for, at the next board meeting. They did 80. The Post was the lowest bidder and upon ballot being taken,- secured three out of five votes and was desig¬ nated the Tilage paper.
The Nassau County Reriew Is in no p^ltion to eomplaln. Brer since It wat started many years ago, it has been the offlolal paper and had about all the Tlllice work. Here in Hemp¬ etead, eaoh of tbe three papers in the vlllM* reedlTea a part. The Inqnirer haa nerer beeen deeignated the Til¬ lage paper. To our point ot view, It

Woman's Suffrage
A PeciaaBeol Columo
Edited by Leader of Fieeport Woman't Soffraae Gub
or aie itefr
Since our editor ihas promised to dis- charRe the prlntor who dares change "lst" Into "elte" when the word appears in "proof" as suffraRlst, there is a sigh of Rrateful relief from the sufTraRlst corner.
Now sulTraRlstB of the 99 per cent, pure stamp are proud of the word "suf¬ fragist" because the word tellt\ all there Is to know—the suftraRlst believes In universal suffraRe. while the word .suf- fraRette .suRRests sex and Is * * • wid], listen.
SufTraRe means to vote, support or elecl. Women beRan about sixty-seven years aRO to ask to'share the privileRe of HufTraRe with men.. The word sufTra- Rlst. as deflned by lexIcoRraphers. has no distinction (Tt sex. and Is described UH "one who has or uses the suffraRe" — hence a man udvocatliiR suftraRe for man or woman Is a suffraRlst. More¬ over and also woman advocatlnR suf¬ fraRe for mon or woman is a sufTra- rI.sI. So the lexicoRraphers, throuRh Intention or lack of It have ordered the one word which women may share wllh men. I like to think they did "t for economy lo please the antis who now worry .^o over the few pennies extra a person the "voles for women" will In¬ volve.
Ju.sl think of th<; time, space and Ink saved in UHlriR the word HultraRlst in¬ stead of the new-coined unnecessary word salTraRelte. Some claim "suffra- Wetto" Is of HnRlifh origin, otiiers claim otherwise, but Ihis much is .sure, the word i.s man coined. Coined by tho re- Ijorter-journallst who evidently reu- .soned thu.s: "To vole Is man'a sole pre- roRallve — HulTraRiHl. therefore. mean.s onl.v men." "Now here come the women worryinR u.s for vote.s. It Is up lo some¬ body to (lnd a word for llieni; 'twill never do to call them HuffraRlsls, that's masculine and besides Is Rettiim loo nenr our rlRhls. Flrsl llilnn: we know liicyMI be sUijIiik In by oui' ."ide 'li.i vote.' "
1 believe lhi.s reportor-journalist fur¬ ther coRllaled "Klizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan IJ. Anthony and the rest of tho.se .ipfitators for 'equality' have used the word suPfraKist as their own; now this new bunch BrowlnR in numbers so r.ij)- Idl.v must be slopped. Lel me fioe, why I li.ive ll. I'll call 'em suffraRedes. t.hal stainps 'em feminine and pushes 'em across (lie pen and paper fence, and every fence is onu more defence asain.sl (heir invasion of our sole rlRht of suf- fraee." -\iul so tliat .iournallst launched a new coined word "sufCraKelle." To¬ day, everyone usi » this new word ex¬ cept the snr('rat^is(.s and a few other.s who know about what Dick Nary says "sulTiaglKt" means. V'oila tout, that's (•'rench. and means enoURh said.
THE BAY VIEW TENNIS CLUB
The continued Increase In the pop¬ ularity ot the game ot tennis Is a source ot constant gratification to the lovers of this wholesome out-door sport. It has only been within the last few years that the game has forg¬ ed to the tront, but it now holds first place in the number and enthusiasm ot Its devotees. Hitherto the game has been handicapped through lack of facilities, as the available courts were tew and far between. Now, however, every town ot any size or importance has Its tennis club, and the number of men and women whp seek their week-end exercise and di¬ version through this medium has grown fropi a eelect tew, to manj hundreds of thousands. Asadeveloper of skill and dexterity, and as a pana¬ cea for bodily and mental fatigue, the game has no equal. Local patrons tills year will have an opportunity never before available," to watch the best tennis the country can produce, in that the national championships will be held at the courts of the We.5t Side tennis club at Forest Hills. It is a privilege to watch the game as demonstrated by the men assembled iu this event, and those who have no more than a casual Interest In tennis will flnd theniiiolves amply repaid for
a visit to Forest Hills during the course ot the tournament. The real devotee wlll, ot course, be tliere on all occasions when he can conveniently arrange the death ot a grandmother. Freeport followers of the game are indeed fortunate in having at their disposal six courts of the Bayview tennis club, which compare favorably with any courts to be found on Long I&land. The local club Is lookin forward to a prosperous season, and already the courts are working to ca¬ pacity. Its membership roll, which now comprises over one hundred, ts being rap'dly augmented, and the ar rangements they make for senior, junior and ladies' cards are rightfully proving popular.
Tennis, The flrst tournament of the Bay view tennis club starts Salurda.v, May 2ft. The events Include men's sin¬ gles, men'a doubles and mixed dou¬ bles. An entry list of approximately 4.") Is expected. Those desiring to participate should send in their names to Mr. Edward Miller, Jr., Rose street. Tho tournament will be a handicap affair, and cups will be awarded the winner and the runner- up in each division,

George Bennett Smith is easi recognized as the driver of Ruth's eight-cylinder Cadillac; the CO-mile- an-hour ride is Indeed exciting, but We notice that George was a little peeved when Harry McCord In Tan¬ go's slx-cyllnder Cadillac overtook him.
Tango makes a flying leap from one car to the other and at this moment (Ruth) Miss Logan commands George, at the point ot a revolver, to hold up his handa. George said af¬ terward he would have done tliat lit¬ tle thing tor her without the revolver business—but then that Is part of the play.
Charlie Moore, while not a tan, witnessed the passionate love scene between Miss Logan and Mr. Tully at the kissing bridge. Charlie asked Hugh Ellison It they were paid to do that act and when Informed that he was, Charlie offered to do It without pay.
Frank Tinney, who took the part ot the policy seller screens well and we look for more screen work from Tinney now that "Watch Your Step" Is closed tor the season.
Charles A. Sigmond was Quite pop¬ ular win? "Bill" Sulzer at the studio. Charlie sat In one picture as the clerk of the court at the Impeach¬ ment trial. It will take some time to make a screen artist out ot Charlie; he looks like a post in the picture.
Charlie Winston sat In the picture at the studio as a campaign orator. The glare of the lights seems to af¬ fect him; he has decided to give up the business and go back to tbe leath¬ er belting trade. Qood idea, Charlie, your picture is rotten.
Rer. Dr. Madison C. Peters, well known to many Loug Islanders, also took part in the tM^uction. He nom¬ inated Sulzer for gorernor. He prom¬ ises to be at the top notch, in moring pictures in a short time.
"Roily" Lamb and Ernst Randall lacked the nerre to get In the picture so they kept on the outside and looked on.
Archie Wallace had his usual amount of nerre with him; he made a rousing good campaign speech for Bill with Elsie Balfour.
Charlie Reitmeyer wat erldently disgusted with "Bill's" line ot talk tor he oan easilr be seen walking away trom the erowd with an intense look ot disgust on h^ face.
"Jim" Nolan agreed to act at a newspaper reporter at a eampaign speech but at the last moment loat hia nenr* and docked under the car to that be could not be eeen.

Under New Management Picture Hoate Worthy of Patronage.
Much to the delight of patriotic Freeport the American Theatre has been purchased and is being managed by an experienced man of reflned taste, Raymond Wallmann, formerly of the village of Patchogue. When Mr. Wallmann took possession the moring picture house was In a run¬ down and unwholesome condition.
Realizing the possibilities of mak¬ ing it an honor to the town and a re¬ putable show house he has spent up¬ wards of $5,000 in rebuilding, reno¬ vating and redecorating the building. He has put In a ntodern ventilating system and an axtenslre tan plant which assures an agreeable tempera¬ ture.
Tbe quality ot the pictures has been decidedly improved and that combin¬ ed with tke excellent musle furnished under tbe direction of Mrs. Wallace has doubled the patronage. Mr. Wall- man has made the theatre a credit to Freeport. He certainly merits en¬ thusiastic support.
