The objectiona raised by Cotoaftl Rosseler of the Army Eilglneetlbg Board that tbe advantages of talaiAad canal connecting Jamaica Bay with Great South Bay would be local ratner tban national, wblle in a sense true, establishes nothhag as against tbe val¬ idity of tbe project.
Except in obvious examples like Long Island Sound, New York Bay and great rivers, a considerable part of the waterway engineering undertaKon by the government Is primarily of lo¬ cal Importance; the national advan¬ tage being a cumulative effect to whicb tbe profiting localities are con¬ tributory.
In a compratively few years more than half a million people will be liv¬ ing In south side to^ns between Brooklyn and Great South Bay. Trade will Increase enormously, and a canal would materially aid in making It pos¬ sible to handle that trade Wiiuout pay¬ ing the exacting tribute which monop¬ oly invariably demands.
To picture an Inland canal carrying the ever increaaing tonnage of tlie south side territory, and hy gradual development becoming an important titifflc link in the national chain of waters requirea no extravagant stretcu of fancy. The dream of today, by the touch of the wand of American enter¬ prise, becomes the fact of tomorrow.
Long Island, with a larger popula¬ tion than many of the states, should have a broad and comprehensive poli¬ cy of development, and an aggresalve body of earnest advocates to urge that policy until it is accepted, and to force the development uniil it ia accomplish¬ ed.
VVith respect to the canal project we are fortunate in having men behioi it who are not dlshearted by a tempor¬ ary set back.

There ia talk of estab'ishing a trust conipany in Freeport. The idea seems a good one and should be endorsed by the business men of the village. The more the merrier and the leas In¬ dividual loss among merchants. The Business Men's Assoclatfon will wel¬ come any newcomer to the ranks of

There's fishing at Wreck Lead, swimming at Long Beach, aailing at Freeport Bay, trap shooting at Man¬ hasset, golfing at Garden City, aero- planing at Mineola, racing at Queens, hunting at Meodow Brook and motor¬ ing and tennis all over Nassau County. Wbat a place for healthful sport it is.

FREEPOKT'S DIRECTORY
All opinions agree that the book which is leading the best sellers in the point of popularity as well as sustain¬ ed entert<iinment is the able work, "Freeport Directory and Hand Book 19111915" This ia the first authentic classilied directory o£ the Incorporated village of Freeport ever printed. It contains a complete directory of resi¬ dents, a detailed business directory, a verified atreet directory and the latest village map. In addilion to this there is information in hand book form ot Federal, State, County, Town and Vil¬ lage governments with their officials as ot January 1911 and information about population, public and other in¬ stitutions, including schools, valua¬ tion, taxation and diversity of other subjects in condensed form, including the Village ordinances, which every citizen of Freeport ought to read.
From a practical knowledge of realty operations in the past, and a cloae connection with present day activities, William G. Miller is eminently quali¬ fied to observe as to the futw^ that business section property will ahow in¬ creases in value in a yefw- or two. There's a hint in their f^ speculative buyers and a suggestion for Investors. Many men who accepted Freeport on its face valeu twenty years ago are rich today. Freeport will make men rich in the next'twenty years.

Diplomacy, suggests an correspond¬ ent of The Poat, may manifest itself in several ways, to wit:
Boastful blustering.
Cheerful coaxing.
Doleful dickering.
Fateful fooUng.
Frightful floWderiug.
Joshful jlngoing.
Painful pausing and
Watchful waiting. <

Until July 15, The Nassau Poat offere these two monthly magazinea on a three month's trial subscription with the paper aemi-weeKly for leaa than the coat of the magazinea.
The price of Smart Styles at the newatard is twenty-five cents; for three montha seVenty-five cents.
The price of Young's Magazine, the aingle copy, ia fifteen cents; for three montha, forty-five cents.

Under thia remarkable club offer they can be purchased for ninety- eight eenta.
All subscriptions must be p?id in advance
Probably at no time In the past has a newspaper In this vicinity been able to present to Its readers a uore lib¬ eral offer of high class and varied read'ng than The Nassau Po«t does at this time. The magazines are both of them standard; tbe paper it la con¬ ceded among those who 'ead it to be the best, example of modern and pro- gresalve joumalisra tha*^^ haa ever been circulated 'n Nassau County. The comblnat'on is Ideal. It is far in a way the greatest subscription ouer ever made on the South S!de.
Readers of The Nassau Pool may take advantage of this opportrmity to procure the magazines bv extending their subscription three months from the date of expiration.
Something About Smart Styles Back in 1873, the John J. Mitchell Company of New York, became direc¬ tors of fashion for men and women, and out of this forty yea-s of experi¬ ence has grown the idea that finds its strongest expression in Smart Styles, a monthly magazine devoted to the Interests of women who look to dis¬ tinction in dresa.
American women warn a niagazine that wil Ipresept fashions for ,their use as individuals. Adaptability, in- dividua'Jty, interpretation of self— theae are the keys of ulstinction of dreaa. The service that g'ves these attainments to the readers of Smart Styles makes this maga> ine unique. The woman who reads and u.-^es Smart Styles will not only have the con¬ sciousness of correct gowning, tut will know that she is gowned individually, distinctly, smartly.
