The Emerald Society was especially fortunate in having for one of its speakers Dr. William F. McOulness of Westbury. Few prelates are .so gifted with schplarly talent and real oratori¬ cal power, and his picture of the Erin of intellectual and ecclesiastical pre¬ eminence and of her patron saint wee, vivid and most Impressive. Dr. Mc- Gulness has in preparation another painting, 'tis said, which will be equally enjoyed by the laity, though hardly as much by the professional go.sslps and newsmongers who will figure on its canvas.
Another freak on exhibition at the .Saturday Symposium of the New York Republican Club. Samuel McCune Llnd.Hey, professor of social legisla¬ tion at Columbia, has just expounded to the members his theory that the rich should bear the cost of prepared- nes.s. Other people's propeity must be aa lightly esteemed in Columbia as in the Bowery, which has no pedagog¬ ical promoters of the uplift.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Na.ssau Post, advertises that it is the "official Republican paper" of Nassau county. Even if it Is tru.e It is rather rough on the rest of the Republican paper.s for them to brag about it. By designation of the Board of Su pervis¬ ors of the county they are an "offlcial paper" of the county, b\it we are not quite sure as to who designated them as the official Republican paper.— Nassau County Review.
Again is our neighbor caught nap¬ ping. Since he is "not quite sure." a perusal of the following; which is on lile with the Board of Supervisors, may make him "cock .sure"—a condi¬ tion of mind seldom attained by some persons in this world:
"I, the undersigned, supervisor of the town of Hempstead, and sole rep¬ resentative of the Republican party in the Board of Supervisors of Ihe County of Nassau, wliich is one of the principal political parties in said county, do hereby designate for the year 1916, The Nassau Post, a news¬ paper published at I'"reeport, in the town of Hempstead, County of Nas¬ sau, State of New York, to publish the session laws and concurrent reso¬ lutions of the Legislature, the eaid Nassau Post being hereby designated by me as the OFFICIAL REPUBLI¬ CAN PAPER of said county as faitly representing the Republican party, regard being had to the advocacy by said paper of the principles of said party, its support of the State and Na¬ tional nominees thereof, and to ite regular and general circulation in the towns of the County of Nassau. "Dated, Nov. 22, 1915.
"HIRAM R. SMITH, "Supervisor of the Town of Hemp¬ .stead."
This document reads singularly like .several documents also on flle at"Min¬ oola, which bear the signature of a gentleman named Sniith Cox and the uame of a paper called The Nassau County Review.
"Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It le the green-eyed monster, which doth mock the meat it feeds upon."
Nor bilious be, lest a bile duct burst all too prematurely—which might be fatal in one fashioned by nature slen¬ derly, mentally and physically.
The Bar As.soclation of Nassau county is right. Larger salaries should be paid the Surrogate, District Attorney and County Judge of Naesau county. It might have gone further and recommended a $6,000 salary for the District Attorney, the .same figures suggested for the other two officers. Men who handle men's tools should receive men's pay. The machinery of government ought not to be entrust¬ ed to offlce boys nor to boys of more mature years simply because they wear bearde. Good men, good work good salaries—that's what's wanted to elevate the tone of offlclaldom. Good men won't compete for positions which pay scrub wages. The scrub who would compete with good men for a good position would be a laughing stock, and the publlc would dispose of hini and his pretensions handily There is still truth in the homely thought that it'6 foolish to send a boy to the mill when a man's services are needed. How difficult it is for law¬ yers and, as for that matter human kind generally, to break the habit of bending to expedience. The Bar As¬ sociation knows it is not proper for either one of these three offlcers to practice his profession privately while holding public offlce. Then why not have said so if it waa to speak at all upon the subject? How many of them would halve their own offlce boy with another lawyer?
graph throws no light upon tbese 1d- terestlng points. To one who has served In newspaper trenches, thia omission suggests a news story of real human interest to the Inquirer's read¬ ers. Its editor may know the offender but be does pot tell them, and thus that sweet confldence which they have reposed in htm is disturbed. To re¬ peated laches of this sort is due the reproach, "there's no real news in a country newspaper."
There's news and news —and legiti¬ mate news is always fit to print. News Ib not everything that happens or that falls under the eye. The elder Bowles impatiently notifled one of his report¬ ers who had pestered bim with small news tbat the fact that two dogs met in conversation at a tree box was not pabulum sufficiently nourishing for the Springfield Republican's readers. The theory of Mr. Story of the old Chicago Times was embodied in hla motto: "Raise and sell newspa¬ pers. " This is too crass for Nassau. But news, my dear boy, reliable news, is what niakes a newspaper, and no man not of that stern mould which would .sacrifice -a mother-in-law, if necessary, is fitted for newspaper edi¬ torship.
If an editor Is endowed by nature with discretion and good running gear, and knows intuitively the psychological moment calling for the exercise of either, he will get along nicely and save himself unnecessary walloppings. The eating of ten-penny nails and the drinking of blood, have been unduly tnagnified as productive of the so-called "truculent pen." There isn't much in the truculent pen business anyway. Even Mr. Brisbane is gradually discarding it. Eleven months in the year find Artliur quite normal, the twelfth is usually tiie month before a Noveinber election and even then he doe.sn't nowadays In¬ dulge in this dreadful diet as nuich as formerly.
Remember, Colonel, that Publicity i.s one of the be«t-l<nown Deterrents to the timid. For the wicked ones who be.set your path, let your motto be Soc it tu 'em. Get all the newg (never mind the Idlotorialai and print it liolilly. Oats makes a mar.' i;o. news makes a newspaper.
If you doubt the efflciency of vour .\'a.s.sau educational system, just "step into the Election ('onimi.ssionors' of¬ fice and ask Jake Schroeter to let vou gaze at the original district enroll¬ ment books. Nas.sau is. indeed, the habitat If not the mother of Simplified Spelling!

The efficacy of Vou Tirpitzs method of warfare Is unquestioned. Its lack of popularity was it.s only weakness.

It begins to iook us if the "whole cost of the war" wouldn't be "asses-sed upon the Allies." If the war doesn't last too long, Germany may be ahle to assist a little In the ultimate financ¬ iering. A substantial sum ought to be realized from the Tirpitz whiskers.
It is to be hoped that the Amity¬ ville Sun's editorial page will recover its wonted vlfior in due season.
The Grievance Committee made a report ae to one of the attornevs in Nassau county and it was voted'that further hearings be had by said com¬ mittee and the committee report fur¬ ther.—Hempstead Inquirer.

if the Democrats In Queens had been able to agree upon a delegate to the St. Louis convention Nassau and Suffolk would have supported him. As It is, they are pledged to Pulitzer and .Miles and propose to elect them.
If the weather Ts fair, the walking good and Democrats give enough votes to Felix Reifschneider, Jr., he expects about eight plurality. Such a conca¬ tenation of po.ssiblllties would be re¬ garded as ruinous by a less optimistic candidate than Felix. Felix never runs well in leap years.
Oyster Bay is no paradise of busy lawyers. In fact, it Isn't any paradise at all for that persuasion. When the Town Board wants a real lawyer It .sends over to Suffolk county to get him.
J. A. C —Perhaps you are right. Even hot air may be too heated.
Nassau newspapermen sympathize with their Suffolk brethren in their loss of Henry Reeves, editor of the Greenport Watchman. His was a rug¬ ged and unique flgure In Long Island journalism and his like we shall see no more. It seldom falls to the lot of man to be called upon to fill so many positions of responsibility by his fel¬ low citizens, and it Is rarer still for one to have fliled them so successfully. His convictions were his own and not even Fort Lafayette could discipline him.
"Uncle Joe " Brower, who died at the Mineola Hospital this week, Is well remembered as the one stalwart Democratic flgure of Oceanside who never flinched at any demand of his party. He was a prosperous and pro¬ gressive farmer for years, and even after his retirement he never relin¬ quished his out-door activities. He died at the age of 83 In full pos.sessIon of his remarkable mental faculties. He attributed his long years to the out¬ door life which he persisted In living nine months In the year on the Hemp¬ stead Meadows. The Browers were of Dutch stock and had lived In Hemp¬ stead since the formation of Its gov¬ ernment In the seventeenth century. He leaves a son, the Hon. Girdell V. Brower, postmaster of Rockvllie Cen¬ tre.
Of Gov. Samuel ^W. McCall of Massachusetts, a great deal is likely to be heard In connection with tho next Republican Presidential nomina¬ tion. His long experience In public life, his elevated views of American citizenship and the soundness of his political opinlolis have secured him distinction among the foremost of his party. Tho tendenaey toward over- legislation In the effort to regulate the personal conduct of the citisen particularly, was dwelt upon by him In hie lecture at Yale University unon "The Liberty of CItlsenahlp." whieh hss been Issued bjr the Yale Press, New Haven. His observations ther*^
on are of special interast at this tlnse. and some of them are herewith pre¬ .sented:
Let us regard it as one of the first dutit.4 of citizenship to aid In check¬ ing the rapidity and greed with which the laws are coming to devour liberty. A waste of human energy and contempt, even of the law Itself, fol¬ low a multiplicity of statutory re¬ straints.
It is in the laws relating to ths con¬ duct of persons that we see in a very marked manner the tendency toward over-legislation, and this is a fleld where over-legislation is very much out of place.
The State is an Institution evolved from human experience and designed for human ends. Its main object is to do those things which are essential to the protection and development of the individual and which in his Isolation he cannot do for himself. The effect upon the Individual is the real test of the beneficence of government.
Government is an Instrumentality and not au end, and it is its primary function to elevate men and not to keep them down in slavish submis- .slon to an abstraction with no con¬ sciousness of its own.
It took many centuries of groping beforn the Individual was discovered as an institution. The individual did not completely arrive until the e«tab- lishiuent of the American Common¬ wealth with its immortal Declaration that governments derive their juat powers from the consent of the gov¬ erned, and that they were founded to secure certain great human rights.
The man In a monarchy Is called a subject which implies nothing else than something to be governed, with no hint that he is to bear any part in the process. The term citizen, how¬ ever, Implies no notion of superiority towards anybody. In our country the citizen is an equal partner In flie work of governing. The citizen stands upon tlie same level as thOse about him and the State is what he and hi.*, fellows make It.
That a man, liowever lowly his birth or however humble his circum¬ stances, should be a member of a State, the political equal of his fel¬ low men and the Inferior of none, has a stimulating effect upon the spirit. It incites one to stand erect upon his feet in the simple majesty of his manhood.
The Individual has no right to vote for wliat appears to lie his own pri¬ vate interest if it also appears to he against the good of the State. If a man should be willing to die for his country he certainly should be willing to vote for her in time of peace. The neglect to perform the duty of voting falls litle short of an abdication of citizenship.
Tlie Plymouth Pilgrims fined men for not voting.
The besetting sin with men highly educated In the schools, as well as with those of a wide range of private affairs, is ofttlmes political Indiffer¬ ence. They permit themselves to be wholly absorbed in their affairs, re¬ serving the right, however, to com¬ plain if things go wrong, and dis¬ charging their duty to the State by exclaiming upon the wickedness of politicians.
The broadening effect, the cultural value of the study of public questions will Increase one's stature as a man and augment his efficiency In his pri¬ vate pursuits.
If your party nominates a candi¬ date who is not honest and free from demagoguery and the other party se¬ lects a good men, the duty to vote in¬ dependently is very clear. Parties may not always be able to offer to the voters a great statesman, but they should have no difficulty in selecting an honest man.
Government is Indeed a mighty en¬ gine and each one of us as much as any other has his hand upon tho throttle
It Is Important that the citizen should not confuse democracy with liberty. Liberty In Its broadest and highest sense cannot exist without democracy, but there may be a democ¬ racy without liberty.
There is no overwhelming senti¬ ment In Kansas at this moment for Roo.sevelt for President. Such a sen¬ timent exists in the East. It may be growing In the West. But It is not exciting anyone much out here. And it is just as well that Republicans who want to go to the National Con¬ vention should flnd out that the Col¬ onel's name ia not a name to conjure with just now.—William Allen White in the FJmporla Weekly Gaz¬ ette.
