Mineola Court House. February 17, 1916. Colonel Roosevelt has left us for a six-weeks' retreat In a warmer clime, and Sagamore Hill henceforth bt- comes a cheerless spot. The politi- alans will miss him. so will the New Tork reportsrs, and so will the birde, for these last number him among their best friends. Never half-heart¬ ed in any cause which claims his at¬ tention, he has for many days been busy all over tbe north shore tack¬ ing up thoae little signs which appeal to the public to spare the members of the feathered tribe. He Is said to have overlooked no conspicuous tfie and not even the telephone polea; and these last are generally regarded, whether by law, ordinance or custom as inviolable In the flerre campaign for publicity carried on hy city ad¬ vertisers.
Now is the time to get after the tent caterpillar pest, before every tree and twig in the neighborhood becomes infested with their egge. It will soon become a serious matter on tiong Island If their ravages are hoc checked.—Huntington Long Islander.
The Nasaau County Reserves are waiting for some kind of legislation. State or National, enabling its mem¬ bers to complete their organization and provide for the equipment of the aien.—Col. A. J. McElroy in his Rock¬ ville Centre Owi.
Tbia is depressing Information, In¬ dicating, It would seem, the usual dullness of Officialdom iu recognizing a good thing, such as our Reserves. Olonel McElroy early matriculated In the Brooklyn Fourteenth and has .just graduated therefrom with a mili¬ tary record away up in G. To blm we are indebted for tbe reminder tbat Nassau should have a flrst line of de¬ fence to be known as the Reserves, •and to him we e^all all look for lead- •arship and instruction in the proper formation of our military squares and •ovals and the correct disposition of •ur p's and q's. War may be all that Sherman described, but this Waiting for legislation is worse; it's wearing apon the nerves of the patriotic Nas¬ eau Editors, all eager for a line up.
¦ Kven the steeds of those two famous veterans, Colonel Youngs and Uncle
' George Wallace are champing in their Btalla Even Colonel Neach's war horse seemed charged, the other night with patriotic enlotion, though his Bngllsh 'ostler diagnosed it as a case •f the 'eavee. However, we're ready for a dash for glory, or an appropria¬ tion, Mac, with our corselets anu gauntlets and hip boots and arque¬ buses, thus setting ^n example of pre- yaredness that should inspire the Nas¬ sau youth. We want no legislation for ourselves; we furnlah our own equipment. Editor Pearsall, of Free- port, has even provided himself with
¦ a coat of mall, picked up by him at a bargain in his rambles through Ban-
¦*erman's the other day. Lead on, Colonel, to gallant victory or glorious death. Shall our flrst charge be on MacWhinney and Albany or Hicks and the House at our national city? Shall we model our movements after the ladies and the ProhibitionlBts or after the masterful inactivity of the Pyramids?
We urge all public-epirited citizens to get back of this movement. Let all the able-bodied men in Nassau county enlist and show their patriotism by becoming members of the Nassau

County Reserves.—Rockviile Centre Owl.
There wlll be no opposition to the re-nom Ination of County Judge James P. Nieman, that is to say in Democratic circles, and Democrats are confident of hie re-election. For Dis¬ trict Attorney, the only Insistent Democratic candidate is Charles T. McCarthy, of Glen Cove. Mr. Mc¬ Carthy would readily separate him¬ self from the payroll as counsel to the Supervisors for this high honor. His high Ideals and devotion to the pub¬ lic weal deserve to be applauded, even th lugh they are unlikely this particu¬ lar year to be rewarded. For County Treasurer, no champion of public rights and popular liberties has yet appeared in the Democratic fleld to contest the re-nomination of Daniel J. Hegeman. Thc friends of Selden Weller, who has industriously and creditably fliled the ofllce of Surro¬ gate in the absence of Surrogate Graham, expect that he will be nom¬ inated by the Democrats for a full term. Much as the friends of former Surrogate Graham would like to see him re-nomlnated, they must realize that his long-continued illness la a har to U. Moreover, Mr. Weller haa been doing the work, and ie entitled, his friends believe, to be rewaMed.
LIVE NEWS IIOTES ROUND ABOUT TOWN
GOINGS AND COMINGS AND DO¬ INGS OF SOME OF THE WELL- KNOWN FBEEPORT PEOPLE DURING THE PAST WEEK.
While in Washington this week we spent an hour and a half with Con¬ gressman Hicks.—Rockville Centre Owl.
If that is all the editor spent, it must have been a very, very dry ses¬ alon.
The rumor that Chairman O'Con¬ nell, of the Democratic County Com¬ mittee, la a candidate for the oftlce of Democratic State Committeeipan, lacks subetantial foundation. He is expected to be a candidate for super¬ visor in North Hempstead, next spring, and knowing something of practical politics he will bother him¬ self about no such lean honor as State Committeeman. Felix Reifschneider, Jr., of Hempstead, is, however, a can¬ didate, and is said to be making some alliances over on the South Shore to that end. These, however, are un¬ likely to prove profitable. For one thing, some of them are "dead ones" and none of the others appear to be ful! charged electrically; that is to say, there are no "live wires" among them. Bert Gardner appears to have the rail and his friends confidently believe he will continue to represent his State committee In this section.
Anxioua to run against Phln. Sea¬ man, who wlll be the Republican can¬ didate for Sherift, is Col. James Abel, the giant hotelkeeper of Long Beach. The Colonel is a member of the Demo¬ cratic County Committee. In phyg- Ique, age and general appearance, he bears no slight resemblance to that other stalwart Democrat who once waa elected Sherift away out in Buf¬ falo, Grover Cleveland. He will, how¬ ever, waive all suggestion of guberna¬ torial or presidential honors if elecl¬ ed. His canvass is aald to be guided by Judge Sam Whitehoue, of Long Beach and Brooklyn, a student of the lamented McCarren and no mean judge of men, politics and political conditions. The Colonel is reminded that If hunger for public offlce is to be "the real test of Democracy this year, his candidacy must lag far be¬ hind that of the last Democratic nom¬ inee for Sheriff who lives In Rockville Centre. So acute Is this fellow's in¬ firmity that it received public recogni¬ tion at the dinner to Postmaster Brower, the other night. State Com¬ mitteeman Bert Gardner was telling of the difflculty of flnding Democrats for the postofflces, and cited the case of some offlce away out In the barrens. The first Democratic appointee re¬ signed after three days' service. His sujcessor came along, looked the of¬ flce over and disappeared, and has not since been heard from. The offlce was still vacant and—"Oh, give it to Jaeg¬ er," suggested John Lyon in a very audible whisper. The further history of the offlce was lost in the storm of laughter and merriment. Seriously, Colonel Abel need have not the slight¬ est fear of any rival candidate brand¬ ed R. V. C. It would probably be different if Franklin G. Hill, of Mer¬ rick, one-time Democratic candidato for the Assembly, should enter the race.

Other Business Transacted at Last Meetini^ of Town Board
During the week a bill paseed the House making available certain moneys for the construction of ways at the navy yaids at Brooklyn and Mare Island. 'lhe ships for which tiiese ways are to bo built were au¬ thorized last March. Such delay in providing for their construction seems inexcusable especially when the de¬ mand for them is so urgent. No defl¬ nite program for national defense has as yet been presented to Congress al¬ though it would .seem that th6 neces¬ sity for such action warrants imme¬ diate steps being taken.
In this connection 1 desire to quote the following letter from Admiral Dewey:
"Dear Mr. Hicks:—1 beg to ac¬ knowledge receipt of your letter ask¬ ing if, in my opinion, the shores of Itovcg, Island are not easily accessible for the landing of troops from an enemy's ship, and also how can we beat protect these shores. In my opin¬ ion the whole south coast of Long Island would present an easy landing place for an enemy, and the navy alone can prevent landings, and that navy must be strong enough to defeat the enemy. The navy must therefore ever remain In our flrst and best line of defense. This defense, unless ade¬ quate. Is impotent; and adequacy is not reached until the navy is strong enough to meet on equal terms the navy of tbe strongest probable ad¬ versary. Very truly yours.
•GEORGE DEWEY."

For some timt; past, in fact since the addition of the Methodist Epis¬ copal church was opened, the people have been discussing the advisability of having a gymnasium installed in the ba.seiiient of the church. it re- iiiained, however, for the I^adiefi' Aid .Society of the church to tak^ such ac¬ tion as would Klve an Impetus to tiid niovenient.
At tlie regular meeting of the so¬ ciety Iiold on Wednesday the niatter was brought up for discussion and action through a resolution offered, "That the Aid Society contribute $100 toward a fund for the eiiuipment of a gymnasium for the benefit of the boys and girls, young men and young women of the church."
It was pointed out that the youths and maidens had no place to frequent and congregate whereby a social and spiritual time could be enjoyed and indulged in; that the young folks are led away by the allurements con¬ stantly besetting them and to have a place where they could meet would be of beneflt to themselces, the church and the community. The spirit of ac¬ lion is ever preaent in our youths and good exercise would prevent nega¬ tive results and bring out the good In them.
The ladies present voted to con¬ tribute $100 for the gymnasium and now the matter is hefore the other members to assist in this movement to a successful end
