KEITH'S CONFIRMATION ^
The prompt coufinnallon of Henry P. Keith aa Collector of Internal Reve¬ nue by >he Senate Committee whose majority memberflblp ia ery democra ticand whoae republican minority Is not at all averse to having trouble oc cur in the opposing pollt'cal camp, would seem to put an end to the chargea against the new collector.
Uevlval of the project lo iiiake Mon¬ tauk Point a transatlantic port coiuch inappropriately al a time when ahlp- plng is mostly lied up. The Montauk Point sea was originally that of Aus¬ tin Corbin. As an idea It has alwaya had a picturesque appeal. Someday someday will demonstrate Us practl- cablilty and push it through. "The Montauk, ma'ne and Navigation Steamship C^ompany" would aounJ all rlgbt.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW It cannot be ihat the aerioua alle- gatlona against the Integrity of Mr. Keith will be permitted to vaporize unless—unleaa th«f charges themsel- vet when reduced to their uttrmost limit hav been found to be of the Vapory sort. If that be the fact, some¬ one ought lo some forward and saj se, to the end that the community may know the kind of matt it is deal- lug wlt'h.
Politics is a funny old buslnesa at best. Never Is there a time when an accusing linger la not pointing at someone; and usually afler It has pointed for a Uttle while it becomes tired aud the incident passes.
So, onco gain, our non-partisan good wishes to the new collector, and may he watch hla Job, avoid tak¬ ing counterfeit mottay and trom thia time eschew air forma of practical political activity.

Pending the preliminary, aecondary ani. flnal moves looking to the estab- liRhment ot a comprehensive scheme of Inland waterways, the town of Hempstead, through the Inltllive of Supervisor Smith, may well undertake the work of aiding navigation in the town's waters.

PROFESSOR GRIGG'S OPINION GF POETRY
Profcpsor Edward Howard Griggs Is one of those brilllani young men who t)elieveB ir letting the light of bia fine intellect shine^^r othrs. - To do tbis be cbobe tbe lecture platform. But h was born a generation late. Wby the platform orator passed with Uncoln, Spurgeon, Beecher, Collier, 4}ough and otber eloquent orators, no one haa answered.
in many ways It is the most effective method of leaching. Given a tfrilliant mau witb mind and heart aflame with hia message, aod nothing can equal it Cor deep and lasting impressions. It was a sad day when tbe the people turned from the platform orator to tbe efhemeial. hurried work of the daily newspaper. But tbls is not what I stareed out lo say of Professor Orlggs, wbo can speak best for himself.
''The great masters of literary art who apeak to us ohi of the past will last as long as human culture, while the great specimens of sculp¬ ture and painting will eventually come to and end.
"Poetry ia diatinctively the mosl permaneln of the line arts, and lu its accessibility haa a great advantage over the other forms of fine arts. In fact tbi£ very accessibility makes it less appreciated in some cases, unfortunate as tbls may be. It is not a multitude of books that is neces¬ sary, nnd tbe ones tbat are seemingly above us are Ihe ones we should read and study for advancement.
"Poetry should be human in its appeal, written for all mankind and not for the specialist. As results of a liberal culture obtained from the study of literature, there Is the immensely widened relation of man, an insight 'nto the heart of nature, the possibility of discovering the divine in the commonplace, and an increased appreciation of the perinanonl value, duty and realtiy of life."
Can we not all agree In this high conceplion of Professor (Jrigg'a and study poetry with something of this love and loyalt/ lo an ideal?
"WHAT CHRIST SAID" I said, "Let me walk in tbe fields;"
He said, "Nay, walk in the towu;" I said, "There are no flowers there;" •
He said, "No flowers, but a crown."
i said, "But the sky is black.
There Is nothing but noise and din;" But He wept as he sent me back—
"There is more," he said, "there is sin."
I saia, "But tbe air is thick,
And fogs are veilling the sun;" He answered, "Yet hearts are aick.
And aouls in the dark undone."
I said, "I shall mlas the light.
And frienda will miaa me, they say;" He answered me, "Choose to-night
if I am to miaa you or they."
I pleaded for time to be given;
He aaid, "Is it hard to decide? it will not seem hard in heaven
To have followed the steps of your Guide."
I cast one look at the field. '
Then set my face to the town; He said, "My child, do you yield?
Will you leave the flower.-i for the crown?"
Then into His hand went m^ne.
And into my bean came He. Aud I walk in a light divine

THE NASSAI) POST IS SIX HeNTilS OLD
First Seooi-Annuai Did Not Escape Notice of Paper's Friends
¦rne Nassau Post, stiii an muepenu- (nt as a hog on ice and as truthful as a George'WashinglqU. pafi^ed the first half year of its e.xJstence on Thura- dny last. There ^was uo celebration in Freeport to mark the occasiou. and It might noi have been noted had it nV^t been for th^ newspapur's friends who took occasiou to send their congratulatory well wishes to lis ov. nera.
Everybody haa been aix months old, but few remember just how It feels. The babe al home, of courae interest- 'ng from the very day he firat peeped in the cradle, begins to do remarkable thinga al a half a year, and grandma is caused lo ejaculate that the child 'vili be a president some day. Wheu ii^ gurgles and coos the whole family gHlhers and happy the one whose name the infant phenoiuena mentions even in broken sibberish. first.
The proprietors of T^ie Nassau Post ' lave been rearing a child, born on the •ixth cold day of last February. And ! il'.ey are justly proud of it today, it 10a been up lo.all sorts of baby tiieks ever since the night It made its first appearance in .swadling raiment. Like many another ol its kind. It has. we i-egiet to .say. been a laie lisei-. In l<;(;t It has been a night child, retiring JonK utter niidni.ii;ht and never welconi- iiif,' the morning sun. Yet it has ;rown hardy despite all prognostica¬ tions of ill.
The Nassau Post now six months and six days old. Is a living (ronlra- didion of tho adage that says the guod die very young. It will admit to the charge of being good, fiw in- f.ints can be nothing else except a lit¬ tle noisy. When It has -grown older its parents hope to put rompers on il, in order that it may r^mip properly. Later there will he a celebration and (ho flr.?t pani,s will bo trotted out Then, watch out, for 'twill he time,
II may be well to mention that The Nrssau Post was born to poor but ;jroud parents, who have had a full ap- oreciation of its many needs. It has bem their object lo leach their first lioin economy that first essential to ^ufcess. When the paper has reached the short Irowser stage it will be in- ilulged in further grooming and dres.^.
