HICKS—BROWN CONTEST.
rfCrlUorlal by Coi. Wiliiam J. VounRS printotl in Hempatead Inquirer on Nov. 19. Keprintcd ihroUKli his courli'sy.)
It appears from the several metro¬ politan Journals that the long-drawn- out legal contest over the eleption for Uepresentative in Congress in I'Jlt, .has been practically terminated, an torder ot Mr. Justice Jaycox having lieen made, which declares Mr. Hicks the winner by a matjority of eleven votes. Up to this time we have not commented upon thit> legal battle ¦ince we Armly believe that the Court and not a newspaper otflce is the tri- bunal in which law suits should be tried.
Now, nowever, should no further appeal be taken Mr. Hicks will get his certificate of election and take his seat. From the start tbe flgures have Bhown, as we believe, that a majority of the electorate had preferred blm as its representative.
The ballot have been recounted, j Wherever there waa a eiuestion the matter has been presented to the spe' Ial term ot the Supreme Court and even to the appellate court in several Instances. It has been thrashed out from nearly every possible angle and the judgment rendered for Mr. Hicks. Congress wlll meet in December. If Judge Jaycox's order is appealed from it is possible that Mr. Brown may go to the Committee ot Privileges and Elections and the contest settled in the partisan committee room rather than in the non-partisan cobrt.
We hope this will not be done. The people of this congressional district bave the most unbounded confidence lu the honor and integrity of their judiciary. Our Courts are our chief ¦afeguard. We believe in them. We trust tbem. An election by a com¬ mittee of Congress seating auy periion other than the person whom the court has determined entitled to his seat will not be condoned. Mr. Lathrop Brown is a young man of culture, of education, of high moral standing in this community. He is respected -wherever known. If the courts de¬ cide he is entitled to his seat in Con¬ gress, the people of this district will approve and give him thalr warmest , eongratulatlons.
It. however, the courts decide that Mr. Hicks should be seated and a eom- vnlttee of Congress should deny that ¦eat to him, the people of this district will not be satisfied and wil! not ron- vdone it.
There la yet another and a very ]plowertul reaaon why there should be { BO further delay in this controversy. The people ot this district are entitled to a Representative In Congress. Since the fourth of last March they have had no such representative.
There are matters ot serious im¬ portance to thta locality pending and It ia wrong, all wrong that we hara BO oae4o represent ua in Waahlngton. ny further delay ia unwarranted, •nl whoever causes the delay will be jvatly criticized by a constituency that will not endure to remain unrep- rcMBted in the halls of Congress.
We hope, very sincerely hope, that Mr. Brown will not appeal from the Ck>urta to Congress. In thla eonnec- tlon w« think it proper to say that Mr. Hieks' attitude throughout thla oontrormray haa been one which we ^oroushly reapect. It has been dig- >alil6d to aa •ztraordinary degraa. Ha haa fought a hattie not for himself «nd not for hla party, but for every IndMdtial wbo voted for him. It has bacn a flght for a atarn unrelenting

A WORTHY EFFORT,
Of all the thought and eftort eal' ployed for the relief of the poor in Freeport and vicinity, whether by organized societies or Individuals, none is more worthy than tbat of the Carman sisters who reside at No. 60 Brooklyn avenue, Freeport.
Miss Etta J. Carman, who is sup¬ erintendent of the relief work done by the Woman's Christian Temper¬ ance Union, in this locality, with her sister, Sarah, are practically devoting their lives and energies for tbe relief of poor and worthy little girls.
Not only this year but for several years they have, at this season, de¬ voted much time to making outing flannel skirts or pretty coats for lit¬ tle girls. With all they could do last
year some twenty-flve Ilttle ones had puainVance with its social life to be turned away because of lack of lontrlbutlons of material with which lo make the skirts.
With the consent of these dear good ladies The Nassau Post makes an appeal to all those of plenty to bear in mind that their small con¬ tribution of cotton flannel, new or used, and any toys sent to the Car¬ man sisters will be not only thank¬ fully received but appreciated and appropriated to the use, comfort and happiness of some poor child.
RECENT HAPPENINGS IN THE \ "^o^^AK^Mf^SB"" WORLD OF BOOKS AND AUTHORS
SUGGESTS CROSSING GUARD.
With a view to reducing grade crossing accidents a recent bulletin of one of the large automobile clubs made the following suggestions:
Make a double right angle and lett angle sharp turn on each side of the railroad track where it is crossed by the State highway, necessitating the slowing up of the car and tho changing of the gear into the flrst or second speed, at tbe same time giving pause to the driver which will enable him to liear an approaching train or electric car.
it seems to the writer that thia suggestion is most practicable and sensible because it is possible of ac- compli.shment and will most certainly tend to reduce the number of fatali¬ ties at railroad crossings.
San Francisco Eecoenizes Itself.
From a recent article in the San Francisco Bulletin, it Is learned that the society circles of that city are regarding Mrs. Kathleen Norris's new novel. "The Story of Julia Page," which Doubleday, Page & Co. have Just published, as "a mirror held up to them by a California woman who* has had more tban one opportunity to study the particular foibles of the San Francisco smart set." They have even gone so far as to identify a num¬ ber of Mrs. Norris's characters with various well-known residents of their own city. As a matter of fact Mrs. Norrls "has not lived in San Francisco for a number of years and It Is under¬ stood had no specific individuals in mind when She pictured its society, although on Jier recent visit to that city she dou'otless renewed her ac-
A Book Which Inspires Work.
It is not often that the wide and continued sale ot a novel is attested by the correspondence received by another tiian the author or publisher, yet such is the case with "The Girl of the Limberlost, " by Gene Strat- ton-Porter. whose latest book, "Mich¬ ael O'Halloran" has been on the list of best sellers ever since its publica¬ tion by Doubleday, Page &• Co., on August 17th.

A number of his plays, no¬ tably "Le Dedale" (The Labyrinth). "Le Reveil" (The Awakening), and "L'Enlgme" (The Enigma) have been produced in this couutry but it will not be until after his death that "The Trail of the Torch," which is consid¬ ered bis masterpiece in France, wlll be published in this country.
