Freeport is Ihe largest village, and ' has the gjreatcsl population. Does | Freeport contain those real patriotic citizens whose civic pride they put i above every thing else?
Indeed, Freeport must he in the van ! It hiis never fallen short yet in com- . Pftitiim with the otb<<|:^villages of thei cuunty and it is hardly possible that ' il will sloop to any other village in so important a village contest as this. ; Of course there is no official competi- | tion going on no prize offered but j when that day comes and the noses art! counted, which will surely hap- j pen, all eyes will be on Freeporf. :
liOtig Beach is going ahead wilh | greal slrides. Nearly every man in i tbat village is-working industriously . dcilllng and In other work. So are Rockville Centre, Valley Stream, Lyn¬ brook, Hempstead and Garden City. But so is Freeport. Tbe men of Free- port are to be seen eyary night drill¬ ing in squads on the pipe line and in company file on the Bayview grounds on Salurday afternoons and Sunday mornings.
Capiain McAllister is putting the luen through in excellent style, and everyone taking the drill exercises f.tithfully is showing tbe benefits de¬ rived from such drill work. The Home Defense Committee would like to see more men out. Now that the Conscription Law has been pas.sed and we are all likely to be sumnioned to go to tho front. It is meet and ex¬ pedient that we all know the manual of arms ad that we prepared our- pelves for the great task ahead.

fesbional fishermen, who make their llvlihood in the waters of Hempstead Bay againsl an unfair law that cater- i ed to amateurs, certain among whom were supporters of a law that waa . passed and was injurious to the means of llvlihood on the part of the south hide tishermen. It was a lalior of love, especially as .Mr. Edwards got the re¬ quired redre.is for his clients. His next move in behalf of his fellow cit¬ izens was his aclion against the New York and Ixjng Island Traction Com- I pany to compel them lo reduce the fare on ihe trolley line between Hemp- ' stead and Freeport. He succeeded in , having the fare reduced from lo to 5 ceuts. This case required many trips on his part lo Albany and con¬ siderable expense in preparing the case, w hich was beard by the Public Service Commission.
There was no financial return in Ibis. He did what he did purely be¬ cause of his inierest in his fellow- man, and from what be thought a sense of justice developing from his study of the law on the subject.
Since the decision in tbal section : .Mr. Edwards has made a special study \ of the franchises of the New York and Long Island Traction Company, and has been retained by different citizens and associations to look after their in¬ terests in this respect. He is a rec¬ ognized expert on procedure before the Public Service Commission. One ' of these fare cases is ow pending in ithe Courl of Appeals, awaiting flnal dIsposHion. namely, the case of Lucy Ravnor, of Baldwin, against that com- 'paiiy. This has now become a tam- I ous action in the courts. .
Earlier in his career, before he ! branched out. .Mr. Edwards was as- 1 signed by Supreme Court Justice Jay- I cox to defend tbe accused in two im- I porlant murder trials. In each in- ; stance the accused was charged with first degree murder. One of the de- Ifendants was Carlo .Mu.schlano and tbe 1 other .-Vngelo Glambarelli. His work ! in these iwii instances brought him fa¬ vorably belore the bar and the fra¬ ternity and stamped lira out as a fu- , ture great in legal life. ! Mr. Edwards has been pre-eminent- ' ly identified with the great Inland ' Waterway project to connect Jamaica ; Bay witb Peconlc Bay, and is secre¬ tary of the Inland Waterways Associa¬ tion. He has appeared hefore tbe Board of .¦\i-iny l^ngineers ou several occasions on this mailer.
