Freeport Is territorially

Is Freeport Groiving?
Oi)|bt we not to have a thougWf <f new viewpoint with respe< t3 affairs In Freeport?
We are living and moving and are
a part of the modern activities of 1914.
Is Freeport keeping up with the pro-
CBBslon? Ib it up to date? Is il half
. awake or wide awake?
The Nassau Post has pride in Free¬ port. It wants to see Freeport grow. It wants to see Preeport take advan¬ tage of every opportunity to make .t- self a bigger, better, strongr town; to see It moving steiftllly along on the up grade tc a more commanding posi¬ tion both in business and In papula¬ tion.
Is it taking direction along the jp grade now?
Wouldn't a broader and more coiu- prehenslve policy of local goveFnment help In lifting Freeport out of the htimdrum? Wouldn't a change in vil¬ lage officials be of benefit?
Tha Nassau Post raises the question with no idea in mind than to suggeHt that tbe people give such thought to It as they may consider it de.sorves.
W^eiuJell Phillips once siild that ths man In tl.e past wa.s the man who got his ideas before he was twenty, and had rather think as his father thohgut than take the trouble of thinking for himself.
The part that Freeport is to take in the development of the next flve years will depend to no little extent upon the character of the government of the town.
The taxpayers' and rentpayers' re¬ lation to the town will depend to no little extent upon the men who are called to administer the village gov¬ ernment.
The general welfare of all the peo¬ ple who call Freeport home and of every business m^n who depends upon the people of Freeport fests to no little extent upon the policy of the men who will be chosen to oflice next March.
We are for a clean town. We are for a progressive tqjfn. We are for a town of healthy growth that will be bigger, better and stronger today than It waa yesterday and bigger, better and stronger tomorrow than it is to¬ day. We are for men who are for a pollcy that will make It so.
This Is an age of new methods. Of this Rullolf Wood, of Woods avenue, Rockville Centre, is assured. He wants light in his house. The villa.<e can't supply it because there are .10 poles to cairy the wires. So Wood is going to put in a telephone. The com¬ pany will run the talking wires to his house and the village will use the poles.

At the risk of being considered indelicate iu a matter so purely per¬ sonal, I may say that history is replete with instances of bachelors of sturdy stock having happily uiated, even af¬ ter the grand climacteric, and rais.,'d boys of their own. If, however, other lields of endeavor seem better suiL-id to your activities, may your quest for Ihis particular Boy be sociologically, philologically and syntactically suc¬ cessful.

"MOHANNES" DEAD
Few of the readers of the Hemp, stead Republican, whose able editor, Edward Nicholl Townsend, was laid at rest the other day, knew of the origi.i of the non de plume over which ap¬ peared in each Issue of that paper, the current political comment of th" town.
.Mr. Townsend's pen name was Mo- hanncs, and .Mohannes vvas chief of the .Matlnicock tribe of ludians whici lived on the shore of Oyster Bay be- fore the Dutch set foot on Long ^^''"^'^ °^ '^"^ «^^^ " ^"''^

AN.XIOUS CANDIDATE—I cannot quot you the figures for that partica- iar postolhce. If postal rates are weighed the same as railroad rates, then 1 should say that the considera¬ tion would probably be expressed by the familiar phrase, "it's worth all the tralllc will bear." 1 know nothing of the Hicksville or Westbury postoUices Possibly l-:d. O'Connor could tell you .sometliing .ibout the latter. Col. Billy VouuKK, tho Uftiled Stales District At¬ torney for this district, is the man to prosecute offenders against Feder.il laws, if such there be in connection with Nassau postoflices. Any work of this sort that may be entrusted to his Democratic successor would undoubt¬ edly be neglected. Rest assured that iiesident Wilgon and Congressmuu ilrown know nothing about any sale ul pusioliices Ior cold cash in this vi¬ cinity. •
Instead of compelling you to meet him at the chesnut butt. But bear in luiud, honored sir, that it is such blithesome reunions as these as make lor the uphft of Democracy iu Nassau. So do not despair for your party's fu¬ ture. Dismiss the idle thought of Ben Butler that your pany is like the man in the hack riding with his back 10- word the horses, who never saw any¬ thing until after it was passed. Bear up. Be a man. Above all things be a Democrat, even if it is a lonesome, ihankless task.

STATISTICUS—The term of oflioe of State Committeeman Keith will ex- pi re this year. Thereafter State Com¬ mitteemen will be elected by Assem¬ bly districts, one to each district.

For another thing, ihe Mayor's police bills, as I have ad¬ vised him, are dead or will be by the \lme my letter reaches you in far Panama. The Albany solons are me¬ ditating as lo the proper moment to give them the coupe-de-grace, having secretly determined lo adminlBter the kibosh, which, as you well know, is the Spanish equivalent of our Ame.i- can colloquialism-getting It where the chicken got the axe." The Mayor doesn't realize this, being still iu a seventh heaven of poussf-cafes and chin music where the November cam¬ paign left him. Our Hoy Collector. I understand, Is greatly peeved at being thus distanced by our ISoy Mayor In tho sweepstakes for the Carnegie Lo¬ quacity Medal, tho right lo which he believed he liad earned on many well contested litlus, north, south, east and west, to say nothing of the half de¬ serted villages and opera houses where he was billed for a guslatory exhibition.

The death of Edward NIcholl Townsend removes a man who strove to make the world a litlte better anJ brighter. He was a worthy descend¬ ant of a family long distinguished m Long Island.
It Is utterly Immaterial who was first to furnish whiskey In bulk fo'- Brooklyn, though he has doubtless been a long time dead. But It is in¬ teresting to us Long Islanders to know that way back In 1854 the Wllllamc- burg Water Company purchase 1 Smith's Pond In Rockville Centre, and from that source most of the chasers have come ever since.
A man who lives in the Hampton'^, according to a Suffolk County weekly, met an old chum who quite recently became wealthy. lie was asked if the former friend recognized him. "Yes,' was the rtply, "He must have. He turned the corner when he saw me coming."
you will doubtless find the material for several snorting leaders. It is the product of several generations of slick politicians. Republican and De.m- ocrat, and one of these days Its abuses will be reformed. I would advise you if you are really Interested to get a good lawyer and take a whack at the system in your own able columns.
XNOOTJitAOS OBOWTH
Freeport should always be alert lo secure desirable additions to its popu¬ lation and it should encourage In every legitimate way the establish¬ ment here of enterprises ot a charac¬ ter worthy of the town. /
Every business corcern seeking a home on Long Island should have the inaalfold advantages of the South Shore I'l.iced before It in a convlncla,? and iruthfuli brief. It should be as¬ sured of a cordlaH tlnd hoepitable wel¬ come ttom citizens generally.
A woman who gave her name us Furloug applied to the county court m Nassau years ago for a change of uame. She was the mother of Beve:i I children. When the appllcaticn was la day and night shift, the leader of
POLITICAL STUDENT — Charles Francis Murphy seems to be bearing up bravely iu that campaign whicli Collector Malone is conducting against him. You must remember that David Dudley has consecrated himself to the task of destroying Charley by night work only. Charley Is on the job by day as well as night hence his hearty three meals dally and his jocund air. Too bad old Sir John Falstaff couldn't have survived long enough to havo joined forces with the Collector. He might have taken the day trick now so sadly neglected. Confronted with
finally granted another had been born. The name was changed to Miles.
An East Rockaway man has beon disturbed a young woman in an east¬ ern village for a long time. "Do you think she 'cares for me," he asked a friend recently, "How would go about it to find out?"
Tammany might be discomfltted. As things stand, he seems'wholly uncon¬ cerned over the appearance in the field of a boy to do a man's work against him.
ANXIOUS BONDSMAN—If it turns out that the Town of Hempstead suf- t'ers any loss you personally will uot bo compelled to bear it in its entirety. There may be and possibly there ar i one or two other "gentlemen of sub¬ stance," like yourself, on the Bosca bond. In that event you will make up between yourselves the kitty for the town, each man's share being propo.- Lioned to the amount of his bond. No doubt some of your associates are' judgment proof notwithstanding the impressive aumber of ciphersthat ap¬ pear in the amount yf their bond. Phis will, of course, add to your miv lortune. Experience is a great teach¬ er. The next time you are urged 'o participate in tlie honor of going on somebody's bond, you w^ill either shoot your would be seducer through the lieart, or take prussic acid or flit to New York. You have learued the great truth that a little silver jingling in the trousers pocket of a citizen of socalled "substantial worth," or h large pile of white chips in front of a player are neither necessarily indica¬ tive of great flnancial strength. Ap¬ pearances are dreadfully deceitful. Better for going puiposes in a steady old nag like Frank Noon's than a gar¬ age full of highly lacquered autos without a gill of oil in any of thvjir lanks. I leave you with John Lyon who will pull you out of your hole If anybody can.
W w W n—By all means In¬ vite Theodore to delay his return un'il ihe canal is opened when you and he, arm in arm, may pace the same quar¬ ter deck of o6«-of Josephus's leviath¬ ans of the deep and witness the cele¬ brating ceremonies. Meantime, you might persuade Congress to satisfy the Itching palm of Colombia, thus iu- suring forgiveness for liLs past. If a greasy Colombian can forgive and for¬ get, no true I'lesbyterian can doubt nis duty or fail to do it in these cir¬ cumstances. Remember, I am not ad¬ vising you to give the canal to Theo¬ dore to bring back to little Nassau county, much as we need a waterway between Hempstead Harbor and Hempstead Bay, but moiely to invite him to sec it opened, ludoubledly 'le would open it himself if you granted nim the opportunity. But consid-er well this oue fact, if you will do naught else, to which, of course, you are an entire stranger—next to open- i ing a jack pot (when one is well heal¬ ed) is' the opening of a Panama canal, for the genuine pleasure in¬ volved, the latter being, so to speak, the ne plus ultra of an ambitious .\m<'rlcriii'K attainments, and Thoo¬ dore has ambitions as we know, though I believe they will not effect you seriously in I9I6. However, I leave this matter to your good diges¬ tion, satisfied from such exhibition of your mental processes as you have given the past year that all true American cliizons will cheerfully abide by your decision.

Church of the Ascension The mid-winter turkey dinner of the Church of the Ascension will be serv¬ ed at the Parish Hall, Uockville Cen¬ tre, on Saturday evening:, February 21, from five to eisht o'clock from the Rector's Aid Society. An excellent menu has been prepared.
for the lack of the means of prop<;i entertainment. Inquired how I liked the place, aud asked a number ot other questions.
Their manner was so entirely dif¬ ferent from that of my previous visit¬ ors that I must have looked my as- tonlshiuent; for presently one of then; said: "I guess you know who we ar»\ don't you?"
The term "guess" gave me a clue to thoi ridentity. Whenever an English man tells an American story he in¬ variably besprinkles It with uumef-ous "1 guf'S8"es. Instead of saying 'J think" we often say "I i;uesK." Th s idiosyncracy of speech Is made much of "on the other Side."
So feeling fairly cerlain that theae Were Americans, I hazarded the as- aeriion . They wolcoiiiod me ae a brother, and said that between Ameri¬ cans all academical standing was ig¬ nored. One of the men came from Ihe South, two frpm the Middle West, and the fourth from Oregon.
After recognizing theru as fellow countrymen I was j)laced immediatelv at my ease and giveu the opporiunit> of asking questions. They volunteer¬ ed to explain anything I wished to uuderstand, at the same time giving uie au insight into the Oxford customs and the British character.
Iu a short time my friends had ini¬ tiated me into the Oxford slang. 1 found that the undergraduates when- ! evor possible mt>tamorphaslbe many proper an dcommon nouns by adding "er" or "ers" to a stem which ihi-y have euphoniously developed Irom the root of a word. Exercise was <alled. "eccer;" a lecture, "leccer;" bed- •;room, 'bedder;" bull dogs, "bullers;" I etc. When the Prince of Wales ! "came up," the meu christened him. "The Pragger Wagger." Variouh other words were abbreviated aS Clarendon Hotel, "Clarey;" Corn- market street, "Corn," and Proctors, "Progs."
-My first callers had Uikrn gre.il delight in askini,' one of the scholais how he happened to "plough in div- vers." For this offense il seemed ; '.hat he hud been fined flve pounds— that "divers" was a term that applied to a Divinity examination, and that a scholar was expected to pass It the first "shot." i I had heard much of the "progs"
AUTO COtLIDES WITH DELIVERY WAGON An auto truck owned by the Stand¬ ard Oil Company colided with a But¬ ler delivery wagon In Merrick road near Rocklyn avenue, Lynbrook, on Friday evening. The wagon was com¬ pletely di'iiiolished and the driver and the "bullers" before becoming a brown lo the ground. The accident member of the college; and was anx- occurred in front of the home of ious to know all about them. William Smith, I The i;nlverslty, beside a rather
strick code of rules looking to tfae morl welfare of the students, has a unique ftyBtem of enforcing these reg¬ ulations.
A man is not permitted to go into
certain "public house.*"—saloons,—
^e must not st^y in any of them after
alue o'clock at night, it is not per-
uts^sible for him lo speak to girli
0 whom he has not been properly in- roduced, it an offense to appear in be streets while into.\lcated. There .re many other rules, many of whlcb .•hen ntilized would se<m to point to rigin in the days of the 'Town and iown battles."
A student la compelled by a Uni- ersity statute to wear a cap nd gown iter nine o'clock at night. This rule as made|lu order that tho nuthori- les might eslly recognize a student .0111 a townsman.
For the enforcement of these man- lates, the Fniversity emfloys two .leu called "Proctors" who are as- isteif by a band of mm known as .Hull Dogs" under the leadership ot
1 person designated "The Marshall.' The "prociors" are graduate niein-
>ers of the I'nlversiiy who have Kiaped up" as "dons"—professors— ifter they haave received their de¬ crees.
Each set of two "proctors" is elect .'d annually. The colleges taken their ;urus iu appoiuting the "proctors." Two colleges cboose them one year md two others the next in a regular .otation. One "proctor" is called the Senior" and the other tlie "Junior." When ou olTit'iai busiiTpss they wear lheir caps and jiowus and a certain .iind of a white tie which is easily listinguished at a distance. .This is .ailed the "proj^'s tie." Whenever It ippears there is a scurry to get out jf the way. Only freslimen we.ir .;owns at night The ordinary Oxford jndregraduate con.niders this bt»- .leath his dignity, and would rather je "progged" and pay the fine—if im- ablo to escape bq flight.
At uino every evning one or both )f the "progs" appear on the streets in full regalia. They are accompan- .ed by "bullers."
The"buUtiogs" are really (he police¬ men of the Fnlvorsiiy. They hold' their positions year afler year and know all the "low liiiuntK" and the doubtful characters of Oxford. ''n Iho day lime the "bullers" either walk around lown observing faces and jic- lions, or go to the games belweeu the learns of the different colleges. By this moans they become acquainted with the faces of many of the uuder- graduat;;, so that if a m.nn escapes from being "progged" by running, Ibey are able to slip ai'ound lo his college gates, and get> his name from the porter when the uuderg.-aduates retuius.
The "bullers" are many of them fleeter of foot than one would imag¬ ine. The sludonts say that the ranks of the bulldogs" are recruited from professional members of track and ling. Thoy carry canes, wear "bow¬ lers" derby bats -cutaway coats nnri hia.k tie.;. An under;^radualo has no dilTiculty in recognizing them.
In tho next ariicles 1 shall endeav¬ or to tell how the"progK" and "bull¬ ers" police the city.
