EUOTS POEMS FOR THE CHILDREN
The Nnsfau Post presents here the second of three poems which Charle.s \V. Eliot, former President of Harvard Unl.-ersity, say.i all children should read, it nny well be added with the two others he reronimonds to his oii^riiial livt-foot shelf of books, which have been widely adverl!.= ed as tho "n icleus of a liberal education."
The otherH, tho lir^t o? which was printed in the last edition of the Post, arc: "The Villa?:f Blacksmitli," by Henry Wadsworth Long¬ fellow, and "To a \\ aiertov^l," by William Cuilen Bryant. In the cflilion to follow th:s "To a Waterfowl," one of the gems from the pen of the great American pott of nature will appear.
Abou Ben Adhcm "Abou Pen Adhem" has won its way to the popular heart because the "Brotherhood of Man" was the motto of this age. (1784-1759.)

Let us hope that never again will Nassau County be called upon lo place public servants on trial for anything so debasing.'
When Job Hedges begins stumping the state for tho Republican nomina¬ tion lor Goveiuor, he ought not to miss an opportunity to state that if his party had cot been divided two years ago he wouid now be the gov¬ ernor.
William Sulzer will seek by petition ronomination to the otflce from which ho was deposed. We hazard the slate ment that his petitions will be gener¬ ally signed aud that in the eveut of hlB candidacy holding until electlor day the vote will ehow that with all blB egotistical bumcombe he has a hold on the people.
crrrTiNo food costs
It Is generally recognized and ac¬ cepted as a fact that in supplying tood to the people the producer and the re¬ tailer get the smallest shares of proflf. In the so-called turnover of Bupplies the middleman reaps the largest re- WDfd. In nearly every line ot trade dealing with products for tho table theru arc '.ro mnny may alat lons be tween the fiin.'i liWd the cook stove, too many percentages lo be charged against the article which the buyer
e
must pay.
11 Is with thccc fa'^ts In mind thai the parcels post was established and it Is to further correct thc abuses ot the middleman nnd at the same time derive a natural profit for Its service that an order and food products bur¬ eau has been established by the Adams Express Company.
Dy means of this bureau the com¬ pany hopes to promote more Intimate relations between the producer or dealer an4 tlie consumer. The com¬ pany win becoiiio a clearing house for excess production, disposing of fruits, berries, butter eggs, poultry, ilsh, meats, aud olher food articles at a minimum of expense to seller ^d buy¬ er. The company is responsible to both, delivering the commodilies lo the buyer's dopr and the money to the seller, without any lutervening agency. The rale on the class of mer¬ chandise for wbich the bureau Is de¬ signed Ib 25 per cent, below the com¬ mercial rate fixed by the Interstate Commerce Coniniisslon and Is no high¬ er than parcel po«t charges. To the cost of carrying must be adedd the money order charge, ranging from 3 cents for 12.50 to 16 cents for $tO.
This new scheme Is already In oper- fitioa In Nev York. The goverament
LIGHTS ON AUTOS
Mitchell May, Secretary of State, has perfornied a real esrvice in call¬ ing attention to the fact that many automobiles are without proper tailjCi
lishis. IE3
"Sonic of the worst offenders" say-jj^' Mr. May "are cars whose owners. while they apparently cannot drive through a place without having their path Illuminated by two powerful acet¬ ylene burners which, however useful ia themselves, are a nuisance to every¬ one elae, are yet able to spare for their til lamps little more light than would be afforded by a candle.
"The provision of propre illumlna-
i tion of the rear number plate is one
I of the rights that can be legally claim-
I ed from the motorists by the public,
for whose protection it, unfortuantely.
seems necessary. While no consider- __
• I fl
ate motorist who has accidentally "^•'
knocked down a pedestrian or has run I Into another vehicle would-neglect to stop to ascertain what damage had been done, enough cases have been reported, to say nothing of others that do not get into print, to prove that there are drivers—perliaps paid ones who have taken out tho owner's ear without his consent—who after an ac¬ cident are quite content to drive on and remain unknown, llf the tailight la not sufficiently strong to permit the number to bo read by the'Victim or by bystanders."
The aulhorilies of Nassau County ought to make the proper illumination ot the rear ot moving cars compul¬ sory. The danger of running Into an unllghted car is quite as great as any road danger.

The lawn tennis championship for Nassau and Queens having been artis¬ tically won by Ralph L. Gatcomb, to the regret Of Waltei L. Pate, the gen¬ eral public may proceed to its engage¬ ment with all the nervous tension re¬ moved.
There are still a few persons who love the horse. Tnere still a few who would be happier were there on Long Island a trottng track where under grand circuit auspices they might see the capped driver sitting in the sulky and holding the relna over a sure stepper in the 2.15 class.

Letters to the Editor
j Things You Can Do During km
Routes to High Hill Beach To the Editor Nassau Post:
I notice that in vour account of the Town Board meeting at Hempstead, printed in a recent :ssue of your pa¬ per, that I am quoted as saying "that the Wantagh canal is the only route to Hich Hill Beach from the easterly end of the Town."
This Is of course an error, as your correspondent would have known if he were familiar with the waterways In this part of the town. '
There are routes to Hi eh Hill Beach from several other of tho villages, and in bringing the matter to the atten¬ tion of the Town Board I wished them to notice that the varlcis channels to High Hill Beach were In need of dredg Ing at different points, particularly at the turns In such channels.
For the most part, the places to which I referred as being in the great¬ est need of attention were not in the Wantagh canal at all.
In Inviting the Town Board to in¬ spect tho waterways ol the easterly end of the town, it was intended that tliey should vi^^it any plLce hereabouts needing attention.
Kindly make this correction In the ne.xt issue of your paper.
Very truly yours.
