QET AT THE FACTS Harry P. Keltb should demand, and hlB accoaors ahould insist that ttae al- legatlons made against him be inves- tlsated and all the facts laid bare.
If Mr. Keith was in the business of disposing of nominations for political offices on a casta basis the proof of sucta transastlona must be where It can be established. If be was a trader in political offloes he is unfit not only to serVe as Collector of Internal Revenue but to continue in hia leadership.
If the chargea against Mr. Keith taave been trumped up by factional op¬ ponents in his own park) r in hopes that by that means bis prospects may be thwarted, those responsible should be brought to task without delay.
Mr. Keltb is something of a fighter. He haa the opportunity now to make the flght of his life.. He better than nay ottaer man in Nassau County knows whettaer tae can win on merit: To win on points would'nt be Just the thing.
Thomas Carmady has resigned to practice law. He was getting out of practice in the office of Attorney Oen¬ eral.
Duke of Nassau is the name of a new five.«ent cigar, but it is not that is taas a Lynbrook filler or that it tastes aa though it wore a Uempstead wrapper.
I have ever held that a pof>m is the expression of. a mood. Moods are not lasting. Therefore there can, strictly speaking, be no long poems. II this it not true, how can the, quoted opinions and the general reputation of .Byron, be possibly reconciled with the whole spirit of the poem found below? Ttae poet. Lord Cyron, was bom in 17&8, died in 182L Yet tae crowded a vast sigtat ot suffering and emotion into these thlry-slx years. He came of a stormy ancestry and seemed ever swinging; from deep melancholy to scenes and places of wildest revelry. At times his mind drifted close to the shades of madness. And ttais can be truthfully said of other poets than the gifted By¬ ron. A man of many loves, inconstant, cynical, mlsouthropic, loving many women, seemingly irue to none.
Even the staid English Britannica remarks that "The Sketch and The Farewell are interesting as showing the poet's ungovernable Incontinence, liis passionate craving icr sympathy, and the utter distemper of bis mind in the bewilderment of misfortune. And yet what delicacy of expression, what a pure, lofty tffeme, wbat perfect rythm and versification. No one should com¬ plain of fate while possessing the love of one noble soul. This poem has ever held for me a wonderful fascination. I hope many readers vrill find it as beautiful and uplifting as I ever have.
Thought the day of my destiny's over.
And the star of my fate hath declined.
Thy soft heart refused to discover
The faults wh|ch so many could find;
Though thy soul with my grief was acquainted.
It shrimk not to share it with me.
And the lore which my spirit hath painted.
It never hath found but in thee.

To those wbo know their Irish ttais salutation need not be translated. Sir Thomas Lipton will understand it.
Welcome to the Shamrock!
In state politics tbe Hudson and the Mohawk, the Chemung and the Che¬ nango, the Genesee and the Black, the Delaware and the Susquehanna, the Harlem and th Bronx and even the NissequoRue, are riera of aome doubt.
Whatever Woodrow Wilson's place in history as a president, there is one thing sure, his fame will live long as a maker of limericks. Here l9 his latest. There was a young man frora Havana
Who slipped on a p^l of banana, Ttae tUngs tbat he said When tae fell on his bead
Would look bad on a Sunday school banner.
Hinman says he's primarily a' Re¬ publican, but primary he's both Re¬ publican and Progressive. Having two feet why shouldn't he be an equll- ifarist and stand on two platforms.?

THE LAW ON APPETITE According to a decision of the Su preme Court of Connecticut, the pop¬ ular notion that a guest at a hotel or boarding house or a patron of a res¬ taurant la entitled to the food set be¬ fore him and for which he subsepuent- ly pays, seems to be entirely errone¬ ous. In an opinion handed by the Chief Justice there has been no legal purchase of thefood. A guest pur¬ chases, the Court says thej-lght to sat¬ isfy tals appetite and no more and wtaat Is left after he satisfies his appe¬ tite belongs to the bouse and not to the patron. Thus if a man pays a dol¬ lar and a half for a steak and eats on¬ ly half of it he may not take the other half away nor may he give It to some ottaer person. It belongs to the owner of tbe hotel or restaurant or boarding Jwuse.
What effect this decision is likely to have not only in Connecticut but in New York State Is difficult to deter¬ mine. There has been, and is now in, different states, agitation for antl- treating legislature, the legislation to apply to saloons. One of the object- inos to that class of legislation has been that It would be possible for a man to get around that antl-treating law by going into a saloon and buying two drinks for himself and then giving one to a friend wbo may accompany him. In tbe opinion of the Supreme Court this could not be done without violating the law, because ttae liquor would not b« sold as ttae customer only "pajrs for right to satisfy tals appetite by tbe process ot destruction.
Prof, Jesse E. Wrench, teacher of taistory predicts ttaat the United States will own all ttae baseball leagues in tbe next twenty-five years aud that Con- greu wiU make appropriations for ball players. He said be thought ttae play¬ ers would be pn a kind ot a civil ser¬ vice basis. I^tae auperb aggregaUon of wallopers which haa its taablUl on tbe local diamond Is already In a way ow^ed by Freeport. Thus we start off with a aort ot municipal ownership nine.
Then when nature around me is smiling,
The last smile which answers to mine,
I do not believe it beguiling.
Because It reminds me of thine;
And winds are at war with ttae ocean,
As the breasts I believed in with me.
If their billows excite an emotion.
It Is that they bear me from thee.

Though the rock of my last hope is shivered.
And its fragments are sunk in the wave,
Though I feel that my soul is delivered
To pain—it shall not be its slave.
There is many a pang to pursue ma;
They may crush, bnt they shall not contemn.
They may torture, but shall not subdue m«.
'Tis of thee that I think—not of them.
... ¦<,•»-, ^. Though human, thou didst not deceive me,'
Though woman, thou didst not forsake.
Though loved, thou foreborest to grieve me.
Though slandered, thou never couldst shake,—
Though trusted thou didst not disclaim me,
^ Though parted, it was not to fly.
Though watchful, 'twus not to defame me.
Nor mute, that tha world might belie.
V
Yet I blame not tha world, nor despise it.
Nor the war of the many with one—
If my soul was not fltted to prize it,
'Twas folly not sooner to shun;
And if dearly that error bath cost me,
* And more than I once could foresee,
I have found that whatever it lost me.
It could not deprive me of thee.
Prom the wreck of the part, which hath perished,
Thus much I at least may recall,
It taath ta'hght that which I most cherished,
Deserved to be dearest of all;
In the desert a fountain is springing.
In the wide waste there still is a tree.
And a bird in the solitude singing,
Which speaks to my spirit of thee.
