Ii adToeatM the inunediate appropriation of |5,000 to be expended for pablicity in aecanng the eatabliahment of manafactaring indnitriet for Freeport
the alow buaineaa of the last year. Thla is because enterprising flrma have realised that advertising is tbe mainspring of their business.
When a manufacturing firm finds buslnesa flat, it doea not turn off ita saleemea. On the contrary it is apt to hire more aaleamen, so aa to cover the territory more thoroughly. The newspaper advertisement is tbe retail merchant's salesmen, and it should be kept working all ttae time.
or MEMOBIAM.
A great ocean liner, passing peacefully to and from an Amer¬ ican port, carrying a harmless shvp's company of non-combat- anta, men, women and children, many of them American citizens, has, without chance of escape or time for prayer, been ruthlessly sent to the bottom of the deep and some thousand or more gona to their death, drowned and manned by the murderous onset of a German submarine.
To no country had thf^y done any wrong. They were entitled to a safe conduct through the, war zone by Germany as by Great Britain. Nothing in the code of law between nations jus¬ tified the dastardly blow.
For all this Germany must face a day of reckoning and many generations will pass be fore Germany is reinstated into honorable fellowship with the nations of the world. There is only one field left for the Ger- m<in8 to exploit; that is the field of private murder and assassin ation which may next be entered upon.
THE VERDICT--"1I0T GUILTY."
WOBK THAT COUNTS.
School children in New Tork State destroyed 830,000,000 tent caterpil¬ lars last year according to the figures Just tabulated. Entomologists say that the egg rtngs of these peiia. should be collected and destroye<9' within the next three weeks, before they hatch.
The work of the school children In the campaign against the caterpil¬ lar may be encouraged by contests be¬ tween various schools or between dif¬ ferent grades In the same achool, if both pupils and teachers will take an Interest.
The point is emphasized, however, that the work must be done Boon, or from the present time until the apple buds begin to hurst, If It Is toT effective. ^
Woman's Suffrage
A P(
Column
Edited by Leader oT Fmport Womaa'i Soffnse aub
(CONTRIBUTED.)
Tbe Woman's Suffrage Club of Preeport will give a lecture and tea at Brooklyn hall, on Monday, May 17, at 3 p. m. Our newly elected Nas¬ sau county leader, Mrs. Oreene, will be present. Mrs. Greene Is a very ardent worker, and gives very much of her time to the organization.
THE DEADLY FLY.
Native Freeport, unusually sym- i>athetlc and sensitive, itull of moth¬ erly belief in the Innocence of her accused, rejoices with Mrs. Carman In the verdict of her trial jury. Al¬ tbongh a sincere rejoicing, it is a solemn one. A cloud ot mysterlous- ness still conceals the dawning of a brighter day and reflects the Incidents of the evening of June SOth.
THE CARMAN MYSTERY?
The assassination of Mrs. Bailey a patient tn the oiflce of her physician, Dr. Bdwln Carman, ought not to be permitted to become an Impenetrable ¦ mystery In criminal annals. Circum¬ stantial evidence, not strong enough to convict was twice rejected by nor¬ mal Juryiflen. They have conflrmed the innocence so righteously pro¬ claimed by Mrs. Carman.
The perpetrator ot this crime, in tbe Interests of society, must not be permitted to go unpunished. Possibly the records of Doctor Carman, the his¬ tory ot his practice, the testimony he haa given in lunacy cases may reveal a motive and a successtul clue. He ought not now to object to an exhaus- j tive examination.
If the cousel for the defense, in the course ot their preparation for trial, discovered ^hat seemed to fur¬ nish possible motives, we trust these facts will be submitted to the proper authorities at once.
Credit should not be withheld from the Dletrtet Attorney and his assist¬ ants for their impartial and expedi¬ tious manner in which they conduct¬ ed the case for the State and the People.
An ounce of fly prevention is cer- taii»ly worth a pound ot fly cure, and fly prevention can he accomplished only In the spring. Every fly wing¬ ing around in May and June means millions of flies in August.
Several precautions are neces¬ sary to safeguard the home from these ever-present pests.
Insist on cleanliness in your home, In your neighborhood. In your town." No uncovered garbage cans, no masses of animal or vegetable refuse, no heaps ot rubbish should be tol¬ erated.
Keep all edibles covered and when they are not In use, place them on cool shelves, covered with gauze.
Fight the Filthy Fly.
BeKlnnlng with the next Issue of thla paper there wlll be spec- I lal reports of Freeport Club ac¬ tivities and baseball Karnes.
Considerable space will be de¬ voted each week to full reports of the Bay View Tennis Club and their activities. The articled will be Illustrated.
BOND EFFICIENCY.
We call attention ot the residents of the vlllage to the excellent work which Street Commissioner Bond has done since he took office. Most ot the streets have been honed and scraped at least once and the majority twice. The easterly^brooks have heen cleaned and the refuse on the banks carted away. Upon the arrival of material all the holes and ruts In the streets will be repaired. We have no doubt but that he wlll at once begin sprink¬ ling dowp tbe streets and partially obliterate the dust nuisance.
COMMEND POLICE OFFICERS.
SJSEPINO UP ADVERTISING.
' Publicity bas recently been given to - tbe success of a St. Louis rooflng con¬ cern, Vhich in the hard times ot last fa^l organised a |200,000 advertising campaign. As a result eo much new trade came in that their business is 70 per oeht. better than It had been the year before.
In a small Way tbis experience can be duplicated in the experience ot a great many retail business enter¬ prises. It used to be the case, that when there was business depression, adTa;i;tl8ing'fell off, and newspapers rap (ewer pages or flUed up more spaee with plate matter. ^
Our observation ot our exohances Is to the effect tbat they have run Joat •c ntieh advertising as ever throuth
The energetic and efllclent work ot Ofllcers John J. Dunbar and Anthony Fedden In apprehending and placing In custody the principals ot the recent Link holdup is tq be commended. Al¬ though no clues were turnished the ofllcers, in less than twenty-tour hours the criminals were in sate keeping. The residents ot the village ought to appreciate this kind ot police protec¬ tion.
We are In receipt ot a copy ot The Baldwin Times, a new .South Side publication edited by O. J. Girnst and owned, we understand, by Dr. Steele and George M. Bode. We congratu¬ late the proprietors upon the general appearances ot the paper and extend our best wlsbes.
LEST WE FORGET.
1 remember, I remember, How confldent he seemed to he, The day before the day atter. When victory sure, he could see— With nothing but votes In sight.
He remembers, be remembers The day after the day before. When confldenee became a blank, Aa he counted the fatal score— Nine hundred and twenty-one votes, with some to go.
A POOR CROP.
One of the things tbat puzzled him. As to how It all came about.
Is the votes be didn't get at all. That makes his late opponent shout 921 votes, witta eome to ^!
Tbe organised buneh has one on him,
And save him, whatirou call "the
drop."
He hoed the wrong row—he knows It,
For he's gathered his little crop,
921 votes, with some to go!
{ ^ould herewith like to say about th|»V6ry much asked question, "When IMwnen vote. It will make elections so very much more expensive." Thle is not so. Tho booths, and pofllng places are already supplied for the voter, and the Increase for the bal¬ lots, will not be very much (espec¬ ially judging, by results where all vote). /
The Shffragettes Again. "Votes tor women" has been fairly launched m our vlllage ot Freeport. Six monttw ago there was a club, a Freeport/ Woman's Suffrage Cluh, which ^d been started by the efforts ot Mrsy Raymond Brown and Rosalie Jones/.After meeting around in par¬ lors/and o veranda or two. the re¬ ed efforts of these two women bore fruit to the extent of the elec¬ tion ot a president, vice-president, Necretary and treasurer. March 9, I 19i4, was the date ot the club's of¬ flcial birth.
Very gingerly and carefully these women proceeded tor there was a feeling of feat" lest the women and men of Freeport would not smile upon such a movement. So It trans¬ pired that new recruits were aip- proached In this wise. "We are going to have a social tea on such and such a day: won't you come, Mra. A?"
Suffrage was whispered around though in the hearts of certain wom¬ en, they knew woman suffrage was right, but dared not espouse Its cause openly or loudly. This secret course was the natural result ot the cir¬ cumscribed h6me; woman who look¬ ed from the viewpoint ot society; society which must think only In a circuit laid out and bounded by those who have gone before, those who are self-appointed custodians of society ethics, society etlquet. This club met some seven or eight times in the homes ot club members, &n4l twice they met at Brooklyn Hall. Through the illness ot the president the club stopped meeting and toward the last ot May, 1914, found a Ilttle panting Suffocated affalr.so weak that Freeport could hear no suffrage voice. The club became resussltated, rejuvc-, nated and the 16th of October, 1914, after six months ot endeavor, labor, I struggle behold a body of women shouting out loud Its principles for suffrage, determined to ask for, "votes for women" until our men re-' spend by giving them the franchise In November, 1915. |
Suppose the woman suffrage i amendment Is defeated In November, | what then? Why, we women will upi and at It again, and until our voices are stopped by death , wlll cry for ¦ our right to be considered citizens, to be allowed to have a humah be¬ ing's share In the world's manage¬ ment.
And the splendid fact is, with some, few curious exceptions, when a rea¬ sonably fair-minded man hears all the arguments for woman suffrage he says, "Why, your arguments are sound, sane, natural and (there is really no reason why men should withhold the vote from you. Why surely I'll vote for the amendment In November." There are about 2,150 voters In the Freeport election dis¬ tricts alone and the work involved in seeing personally these 2.150 voters Is a task prodigious for the women election district captains whose duty It Is to see and ask for the support ot the voters next November. Voluntary Wonian Sufltrage Supporter Now It each voter would walk up docilely to the women election dis¬ trict captains and sign an Empire State campaign committee "yellow slip" to grant the New York women the vote In 1915, why bless your heart, the whole Freeport Women's Club crew could go about their spring housecleanlng and attend to camphorlng their now neglected fur coate, muffs and neck pieces. So it the voters do not come to the suffra¬ gettes and ask tor the privilege ot granting them the vote, why the suf¬ fragettes will have to go to the voters and do as they have been doing for the last 75 years—work,, work, work, and then some more!
For one thing tJje suffragettes are grateful and thankful that. Freeport has been so thoroughly agitated that there is not a voter but knows about "votes for women." Up until six months ago not many men knew much about ttae movement and some even thought ot its as a joke. Last November, a suffragette asked a prominent woman high school grad¬ uate if she was favorable to women being granted the vote. The high school graduate smiled a emile betak- enlng indulgent pity mirroring to the suffragette an ignorance of the woman suffrage movement, so tbe Buffragn'ette began to talk on lines to enlighten without letting the young woman feel her Ignorance.
At last the enlightened ene said: '*Wtay I've taeard about women voting and that sort of stuff but I thought, it was a Joke." So at laet men. women gAi ehiidren of Freeport know that "votes for women" Is no Joke.
W. 8. Smilee. Oake. Tfes and Aidrgma. Monday, May 17, at Brooklyn Hall,
at 3 in the afternoon, tbere will be some suffragettes to meet and wel¬ come men and womeo who would like to. hear what tbe suffragettes are about. There will be suffrage cake and suffrage tea, a suffrage smile of welcome for all, but first and I best there will be some talk on suf¬ frage by that earnest, convincing, plain-spoken woman lawyer, Mrs. Doane of Oceanside. Aiso there will be others. There will be two or tiiree pleasing surprises, which we ^hall not announce, believing the suppression may prove an effective lesson to Freeporters. Oh, there wlll be doings In plenty from now on.
Suffratrettes to Parade With Firemen. The Freeport suffragettes wlll pa¬ rade with the Hempstead flremen on June 10. The order of the suffra¬ gettes march will appear on the fire¬ men's program. And our banner, our smiles, and our hearts will be in the parade. Wont It be worth while go¬ ing from Freeport to see? Well, w^ think "yea."

Holders of mortgages and owners of real estate will be Interested In Chap¬ ter 493 of the L.aw8 of 1915 recently signed by the Governor, which relattas to the right of owners to require the holders of mortgages to aBstgn them on the demand of the owner of the land.
Originally, If the holder eg flrst mort¬ gage had made an additional loan which was represented by junior mortgage on mortgages, or had some lien against the property, the owner of the land might demand an assignment of the flrst mortgage and leave the holder with his subordinate liens In such a position that they might be In danger of being cut off if he did not protect his claim on a subsequent foreclosure.
This situation has been met by the new law. It gives the owner the right to have mortgages assigned to his nom¬ inee. I'nder this new provision If an owner desire an assignment Instead of a satisfaction ot the mortgage, he must
tmy off tlie entire claim of the mortgage lolder against the premises.
