Mineola Court Heuse, February 24, 1916. 1 cannot see that the Flatlron Bmlldlag ha« lo»t any of Its attractlve- maaa aa a windy day resort since the Parisian decree lengthening all akirta tliree Inches.
I do not give up all hope of our knypy deliverance from the Phlllp- ylnes, when from the gifted pen of th^ editor of the Rockville Centre Owl flowK the profound reflection •'It occura to us that It wouldn't be a bad Idea to exchange the Phlllp- plnea with Oreat Britain for some of the latter's posaeaslons In the Weat Indies; It Is at leaat worth thinking about." But why talk of barter In critical momenta? Is It not a his¬ toric fact. Brother, that the gentle¬ man who had the bull by the tall would cheerfully have given the beaet away could he only safely let go?
I William C. Whitney and William R.
Grace. To them and their aaaoclates jwas chiefly due the diatlnction of the 'first Cleveland adminiatration; history ¦ would have had another atory to tell
of the second had their counsels more [often prevailed. Peace to their mem lory and their aehea.
Not everything labeled "home rule' needs necessarily to be swallowed as genuine. Three-star Hennessy does Bot alwaya correctly describe the con¬ tents of the bottle. The devil may tuck his tall under his arm and don wings and flowing robes, but that le not bona flde evidence that he Is a saint. Hence the folly of a fellow making a damphool of himself by ac¬ cepting political reforms on sight.
The political ones are smiling over the story of ex-President Taft. now on its travels, apropos of the recent eleTatlon of amiable Oscar Straus to a Public Service Commiselonerahlp. As ta very well known to insiders, he was an unsuccessful candidate for a portfolio in the Taft Cabinet. "Among some of the unorthodox whom we call Meathens," remarked the former President, "there is a belief that when a great mai> is born some ani¬ mal typifying his characteristic diea. Thus, when Grant was born, a bull¬ dog died. A game cock died when Roosevelt was born. When Oscar waa born nothing died."
Among those who had their side¬ walks cleaned early Monday morn¬ ing were: William Klelat, Wliliam L Cocke, William S. Cornwell and The News office. Mr. Cornwell had Ter flve hundred feet of nice clean sidewalk. Where there's a wlll, there'fi a way.—Port Washington News.
Truly, an Honor Roll deserving Imperishable renown. 1 wonder If «ach of these Heroes handled his shovel himself or was his Heroism really that of a hired man. A true l«ro should never be suspected of false pretences.
A Schenectady boy swallowed a toy baloon the other day. That's nothing, 'ttorernor Whitman swallowed a presv dential boom and still lives.—Patch¬ ogue Argus.
I hear that Joaeph P. Grace, of lUreat Neck Station, Is not unlikely to take a more active Interest in the poli¬ tica of North Hempstead. Of course, lir. Grace is a Democrat like his father before him and like his father ke makes no attempt to conceal the independence of his Democracy. Thoughtful Democrats on the South Shore are puzzled over the indifference to politics of such North Shore mem¬ bers of their party as Citizens Grace, drocker, Straight and Harry Payne Whitney. Time was wben the De¬ mocrary of the big, city and of the State could conjure with the names of
There are two reasons for every¬ thing; one is a good reason, the other is the real reason. An old truth bui ever illuminative.
iiXrery Republican in the United States should read the speech of Mr. Jloot laat evening In Carnegie Hall. New York, as presiding offlcer of the Republican State Unofficial Conven¬ tion.

The annual summary of church statistics for the United States and its possessions. Just made public by tlie associate secretary of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ In America, shows for the year 1915 a total gain of 653,500 members by the 170 religious bodies included. The summary, as a whole, probably is as accurate as anything short of a care¬ ful census. It shows a grand total of 39,000,000 church members in this country (not Including Christian Scientists and the sect known as the Doweltes which declined to furnish figures)—something more than one- thlrd of the total population. The growth of the churches has a little more than kept pace with the growth of the country. So those who hold that the churches are not holding their own in numbers are mistaken.—¦ Philadelphia North American.
Bright and early this day. Col. Joe Foster will be found at his desk in the Hempstead Town Hall ready to receive your taxes. This ia the' one day In the year when mauy—I wlll not say most—citizens of Hempstead consider the, science of government and Its relation to taxpayers and tax- paying generally. Judging from the kicking ieind cuaslng which has been heard on this day, this kind of a citi¬ zen takes a very serious view of It. He is being "robbed," he Is "paying more" than his neighbor, the man who assessed his property was simply "a plain damphool," "the country is going to the devil anyhow," 'our publlc offlcials would rob a dead man of the pennies over his eyes" (forget¬ ful of the fact that this custom has become obsolete since the coinage of the old-fashioned copper ceiit was dis¬ continued), etc., etc. Then Mr. Tax¬ payer rushes away to pile up more riches in a land which is going to the bow-wows! And Colonel Joe sighs wearily. "I fear the poor man actually believes I'm collecting thla money for my own personal use."
If the reporta which I hear discus¬ sed aro true, usurious ratea of inter¬ est are being demanded by some of our Nassau bankers. The matter is herewith respectfully referred to our State and Federal bank examiners.
The birth rate is said to have in¬ creased materially In Freeport during the past year.
We really wish our friend had tak¬ en a different "nom de plume." A "Radiator," is usually considered as sending forth hot air only.—Inquirer.
Hot air is our specialty. Colonel, hence "The Radiator." Surely, there's room enough for two of us Hot Air Merchants in the same township.
I am gratified to know after exam¬ ining Mr. Shonts' testimony and the roster of our Nassau Bar Association that none of our lawyers got "some of it too."
The New York Times has strength¬ ened Its ataff by Its acquisition of the services of former president of the Board of Aldermen, George McAneny and Charles Grasty, former news¬ paper manager of Baltimore. Mr. Mc¬ Aneny has had large and varied ex¬ perience In municipal matters which he now capitalizes at a time of life when it la worth while. Mr. Grasty Is w«ll known In newspaper circles as "a scrapper" if occasion requires. The newspapers of Gotham are one- man institutions, and, generally speaking, their autocratic managers pick for the betterment of their prop¬ erties bralne and legs for service in the forecastle, seldom experienced advisors and counclllora to sit with them in the cabin. Clawing off a lee shore even with a picked agmfr is not always satisfactorily accomplished. The Times management evidently be¬ lieves in keeping clear of lee shores altogether, if many experienced eyea will accomplish it.
For a year The Inquirer has been steadily endeavoring to show to tbe taxpayers of the county that the pres¬ ent aystem of county government is wasteful and extravagant. • • * It te a real pleasure when we can show the other side of the picture. Tbe town tax rate this year gives us an opportunity to commend the cafeful adminiatration of Supervisor Smith in relatkm to town affaira. We learn- tbat the town rate fa eonalderably be-

BILL BEFOBE THE LEGISLATURE PRETTT WEDDING CELEBRATED
William Chubbuck, proprietor of the large Main street drug store, and his local manager, Ernest W. Ault, are receiving the hearty congratula¬ tions of the townspeople upon the fav¬ orable criticism given their manage¬ ment of the Chubbuck chain of drug stores, eapecially as evidenced In the following taken from a recent issue of The New York Tribune, the Ad-Vlaor column, conducted by Samuel Hop¬ kins Adams:
"I found thla algn prominently dis¬ played on the prescription (;ounter of Chubbuek's drug store. Park avenue and Boulevard, Arvene, L. I.
DON'T Ask Us
What Any Old
PATENT MEDICINE

Vou embarrass us, for our truth¬ ful answer must be, it is very likely,
WORTHLESS!
If you want to know what we sell it for, that is another question. We sell as cheap, and in many cases cheaper, than anybody.
We don't recommend patent medicines.
When Sick Consult a Physician
You Will Find It CHEAPER in the End.
"This sentiment ie slightly differ¬ ent from that of C. O. Blgelow, pro¬ prietor of a drug store at Sixth ave¬ nue and Eighth street, N. Y., who at a meeting of the New York Pharma¬ ceutical Conference, held laat June 14 In the library of the College of Pharmacy, said in the writer's pres¬ ence:
" 'Druggists are merely distribu¬ ters. We have no Inteiesc in the con¬ sumer. We merely sell.'
FREDREX SEBANG.
'The amusing and pungent win¬ dow card was first used by the McCon¬ nell drug store in Chicago twelve or fourteen years ago. It represents one type of druggist. Mr. Blgelow repre¬ sents the other. The McConnells and Chubbucks of pharmacy recognize a professional duty and responsibility to the public. The Bigelows represent the chase for the dollar—and the pub¬ lic be drugged!",
This same sign is displayed in the local store, "the big store on the Main street."

GITE8 LOCAL AUTHORITIES RIGHT TO DECIDE HATTER OF FILM PERFORMANCES.
AT HOME OF BRIDE FEBRUARY TWELFTH — MANY GUESTS PRESENT.
Hppclal to The Nassiiu ro.vi,
ALBANY, FBR. 24.—Assemblynia.i Clarence Welsh of Albany has intro¬ duced In the Legislature a bill giving local authorities the right to permit motion tlleatres to open Sundays. ~~
"At presjent," stated Mr. Welsh, "the provlsiona of tlie penal law re¬ lating to the opening of theatres and the giving of performances on Sunday do not cover motion picture shows.
"The result is that there is no au¬ thority vested in the municipalities affected by this bill to permit, or pro¬ hibit their opening on Sundays or to regulate their operation. In some citie.s thc authorities have issued li¬ censes to motion picture theatre pro¬ prietors, witb the proviso that the li¬ cense should be revoked if there was any exhlbitlona on Sunday, and it has been found that there was no author¬ ity for euch a provision in the license."
The proposed amendment does not grant State-wide permission to oper¬ ate motion picture theatres on Sun¬ days, nor does it prohibit. It simply gives local authorities the right to permit or prohibit their operation.
This Is In line with the principle of home rule, and makes it possible for the people of municipalities to de¬ cide one way or the other, in a legal way.
BASEBALL BENEFIT.
A beneflt for the Freeport Athletic Club wlll be held in the Crystal The¬ atre on Thursday, March 2. Tickets are 10 cents each. The feature will be Robert Edeson in "The Night Stage." The cause Is a worthy one.
A very pretty home wedding took place on Saturday evening, Feb. 12th. at 102 Colonial avenue, Freeport, when Miss Jessie Hesse and Mr. Frank Gilbert Walton were united in holy wedlock by the Rev. Karkan of Free- port.
The bride wa.s given away by her mother, Mrs. John Hesse.
The bridesmaids were the bride's twin sisters, the Misses Emma Belle and Ellen May Hesse, who were at¬ tended by Mr. Harry Walton, best man, and Mr. Tom Sweet. The flower girl was Ilttle Miss Laurel K. Brown.
The bride wore a beautiful dress of white crepe meteor and carried a shower bouquet of white sweet peas.
The bridesmaids looked very sweet In green crepe-de-chlne. trimmed with pink rosebuds, and carried pink carnations.
The bride's mother wore grey silk and looked aa charming as the bride, which ia saying a great deal.
After supper the bride and groom left for a honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls, amid a shower of rice and old shoes.
Those present were Mrs. J. Hesse, Mr. and Mrs. A. Walton, Mr. and Mrs. G. Palmer, Mr. and Mrs. W. Bauman, Miss M. Bauman, Mr. and Mrs. G. Kuhn, Miss M. Kuhn, Mr. and Mrs. M. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. J.

It was decided to keep the list of charter members open for one month and during th"at time to charge a nom¬ inal Initiation fee, and to Institute a policy whereby no dues will be charg¬ ed, but each member as he enjoys the advantages of the club will be charg¬ ed a reasonable margin over the cost to defray expenses. The president and tJce-presldent made generous gifts toward thp equipment. Already an offer has been received by a good sportsman to erect a club bouse on tue Meadows near Freeport river and south of the vlllage of Freeport as soon as the quarters already securea are not large enough.
The club will arrange for practice, regular and tournament matches on Saturdays, holidays and other occa¬ sions in clay pigeon shooting, target shooting, and similar sports, as well as have seasonable excursions for duck and other game shooting. Much favorable comment has already been heard In favor of such a club.
On this day a 50-round clay pigeon contest wae very mueh enjoyed by the boys, wi^h the following result: Ray¬ mond P. Combs, 40; George B.

As ta very well known to insiders, he was an unsuccessful candidate for a portfolio in the Taft Cabinet. "Among some of the unorthodox whom we call Meathens" remarked the former President, "there is a belief that when a great mai> is born some ani¬ mal typifying his characteristic diea. Thus, when Grant was born, a bull¬ dog died. A game cock died when Roosevelt was born. When Oscar waa born nothing died." Among those who had their side¬ walks cleaned early Monday morn¬ ing were: William Klelat, Wliliam L Cocke, William S. Cornwell and The News office.

Just made public by tlie associate secretary of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ In America, shows for the year 1915 a total gain of 653,500 members by the 170 religious bodies included. The summary, as a whole, probably is as accurate as anything short of a care¬ ful census. It shows a grand total of 39,000,000 church members in this country (not Including Christian Scientists and the sect known as the Doweltes which declined to furnish figures)—something more than one- thlrd of the total population. The growth of the churches has a little more than kept pace with the growth of the country. So those who hold that the churches are not holding their own in numbers are mistaken.—¦ Philadelphia North American. Bright and early this day. Col. Joe Foster will be found at his desk in the Hempstead Town Hall ready to receive your taxes. This ia the' one day In the year when mauy—I wlll not say most—citizens of Hempstead consider the, science of government and Its relation to taxpayers and tax- paying generally. Judging from the kicking ieind cuaslng which has been heard on this day, this kind of a citi¬ zen takes a very serious view of It. He is being "robbed" he Is "paying more" than his neighbor, the man who assessed his property was simply "a plain damphool" "the country is going to the devil anyhow" 'our publlc offlcials would rob a dead man of the pennies over his eyes" (forget¬ ful of the fact that this custom has become obsolete since the coinage of the old-fashioned copper ceiit was dis¬ continued), etc., etc. Then Mr. Tax¬ payer rushes away to pile up more riches in a land which is going to the bow-wows! And Colonel Joe sighs wearily. "I fear the poor man actually believes I'm collecting thla money for my own personal use." If the reporta which I hear discus¬ sed aro true, usurious ratea of inter¬ est are being demanded by some of our Nassau bankers. The matter is herewith respectfully referred to our State and Federal bank examiners. The birth rate is said to have in¬ creased materially In Freeport during the past year.

I am gratified to know after exam¬ ining Mr. Shonts' testimony and the roster of our Nassau Bar Association that none of our lawyers got "some of it too." The New York Times has strength¬ ened Its ataff by Its acquisition of the services of former president of the Board of Aldermen, George McAneny and Charles Grasty, former news¬ paper manager of Baltimore. Mr. Mc¬ Aneny has had large and varied ex¬ perience In municipal matters which he now capitalizes at a time of life when it la worth while. Mr. Grasty Is w«ll known In newspaper circles as "a scrapper" if occasion requires. The newspapers of Gotham are one- man institutions, and, generally speaking, their autocratic managers pick for the betterment of their prop¬ erties bralne and legs for service in the forecastle, seldom experienced advisors and counclllora to sit with them in the cabin. Clawing off a lee shore even with a picked agmfr is not always satisfactorily accomplished.

GITE8 LOCAL AUTHORITIES RIGHT TO DECIDE HATTER OF FILM PERFORMANCES. AT HOME OF BRIDE FEBRUARY TWELFTH — MANY GUESTS PRESENT. Hppclal to The Nassiiu ro.vi, ALBANY, FBR. 24.—Assemblynia.i Clarence Welsh of Albany has intro¬ duced In the Legislature a bill giving local authorities the right to permit motion tlleatres to open Sundays. ~~ "At presjent" stated Mr. Welsh, "the provlsiona of tlie penal law re¬ lating to the opening of theatres and the giving of performances on Sunday do not cover motion picture shows. "The result is that there is no au¬ thority vested in the municipalities affected by this bill to permit, or pro¬ hibit their opening on Sundays or to regulate their operation. In some citie.s thc authorities have issued li¬ censes to motion picture theatre pro¬ prietors, witb the proviso that the li¬ cense should be revoked if there was any exhlbitlona on Sunday, and it has been found that there was no author¬ ity for euch a provision in the license." The proposed amendment does not grant State-wide permission to oper¬ ate motion picture theatres on Sun¬ days, nor does it prohibit. It simply gives local authorities the right to permit or prohibit their operation. This Is In line with the principle of home rule, and makes it possible for the people of municipalities to de¬ cide one way or the other, in a legal way. BASEBALL BENEFIT.

The flower girl was Ilttle Miss Laurel K. Brown. The bride wore a beautiful dress of white crepe meteor and carried a shower bouquet of white sweet peas. The bridesmaids looked very sweet In green crepe-de-chlne. trimmed with pink rosebuds, and carried pink carnations. The bride's mother wore grey silk and looked aa charming as the bride, which ia saying a great deal.

The president and tJce-presldent made generous gifts toward thp equipment. Already an offer has been received by a good sportsman to erect a club bouse on tue Meadows near Freeport river and south of the vlllage of Freeport as soon as the quarters already securea are not large enough.
