Congressman MacCrate said in part: %\t is a great pleasure for me to come Freeport because of the fact that tassau County was very kind to me Primary Day. It is a good thing • a condidate to see as many people is possible because yoU feel a per- Dnal note by being with them and do not have to wonder what all lie voters you have not seen hre go¬ to do to you at the polls. Primary Voting Small "The voting at the primaries this vwas done by only thirty per cent, the aenroll^d Republi(!ans. That _ans that there was 70 per cent.'s orth of energy lost on the part of ^e candkiates. A man in the pri-- bsries is a pergonal candidate and af- MT that a party candidate. This year especially, men do not count for much as'wrf are guided by a policy rather than by personalities.

League of Nations ^< "President Wilson declared recent- ' that the League of Nations does not „«an, that Congress mUst vote the knny and Navy of the United States whenever needed abroad. Senator encer challenged the statement, Sec- .»ry Tumulty stated that no such itement had ever been made, but _ator Reed declared that in 1919 fllson had an interview with the Ser- sn and Rumanian ministers and that had practically offered the armed i)rces of,the United States jt any ne to settle border disputes.

Uniuat Criticism P'-President Wilson was unjustly criti- for going to the Peace Table. It the best thing that he could have because it taught the people that Ijelchief executive of the nation was Dt (essential to the welfare and hap- bs of the people.

A People'a Treaty ;>*Any treaty with a foreign power ' be madefy and with the eonsent the people of the United States, is not a une man government, It I fear that the Constit]Uion is like Scriptures, talked abotn -a lot and but little.

OFFICER SHOOTS PRISONER TWICE
Called ia Faauly Sqnabble, Bell¬ more CoBstable is Attacked by  tbe Whole   Faaiily
Constable Jfs. J. Molloy of Bellmore was forced to shoot Christian Koch tvrice in the legs Friday when the lat¬ ter resisted anrest. According to statements made by neighbors, Koch had arrived home in the evening a lit¬ tle worse for wear and proceeded "to take it out on his wife." •
Neighbors sent for Constable Mol¬ loy and as soon he arrived the Ko<;^ family signed an armistice and turned their attention to the constable wit^ the result that his gun and club were taken from him. Arrayed against the officer were C. Koch, sr., C. Koch, jr., and young Koch's wife. H« is a but¬ cher in thi) village.
Regaining his gun, he shot Koch llrst in one leg and then the other, but did not succeed in subduing the fight in him. Koch again gained posses¬ sion of the gun and was about to shoot when a man by the name of Joe Day rushed in and snatched the pistol out of Koch's hand, dashing out the door with it.      f
The constable thought th&t the ene¬ my had been strengthened by one and went in pursuit of Day. In the mean¬ time the Koch household barred the door and when the constable returned in order to accomplish his arrest he had to break it in.
Coroner Wilbur Southard was sum¬ moned, as neighbors had decided that a coroner ought to be on hand. Koch was takeh to the hospital and later the family will probably be arraigned for assault and attempt to resist ar¬ rest.
BOARD ACTS ON VILLAGE MATTERS

Roam   the  Streets a  Second Time— Chaaed By Police On Bieyclea ,
Fraok Tinney has some horses that remind us of the hens who got out of % man's coop and went home. These horses have a habit of getting away from the home stable and' roaming the town.
Some time ago they tore through Main street in Freeport and were cap¬ tured by police officers. Sunday ev¬ ening the same spirit of unrest took possession of the equines and they bolted again.
Four of the police gave chase on bi¬ cycles but Tinney's horses are all man o' ware and they were last seen going northwest.
At the meeting of the Village Board held Wednesday afternoon, the matter of having a light ot the comer of Main street and Merrick road was taken up. It is claimed that the pres¬ ent lighting facilities are inadequate and make it impossible to see the traf¬ fic sign from all quarters. A cluster of lights on the Curb was suggested as a means of nlleviating the condi¬ tion. The Board decided to make a personal investigation of the matter. Cemetery Matter
Village Counsel Clinton M. Flint re¬ ported that he was making progress on the matter of removing the Church Street Cemetery, but that it would be a long and tedious process, as heirs, etc., would have to be located in order to gain their consent. He said that he expected some opposition. The Re¬ view has Vlready received one letter speaking against the removal of the dead from the old burying ground. Police Applications
Frank Coyle and Arthur C. Smith applied for positions as police offlcers and were ^accepted as of October 16. The matter of policemen resigning was brought up, after the resignation of Offlcer Williamson had been accept¬ ed, and it was suggested that the po¬ licemen receive more pay, and that they buy their own outfits themaelves. As it stands now, overcoats and uni¬ forms are made to order for the men and when a man resigns the depart¬ ment is left with an outfit that may not flt the next man appointed to fill the place, -^    *
The new offlcer wiU'ne known as Arthur C. Smith No. 2. as the patrol¬ man who was hurt%ome time ago is also Arthur C. Smith.
No Gas Decision
Village Coui^sel Flint reported that the   Public   Sel'vice   Commission  had not handed^ down any permanent de¬ cision ss yet on the matter.*' Coal Conveyor Bought
It was decided to buy a coal con¬ veyor for use at the power house. The type manufactured by Barber, Green Co, was selected, to cost $1,215.- It was estimated that such a conveyor would pay for itself in a short time. Awning Ordinance
The police were instructed to en- fcrco the ordinance relative to awn¬ ings, which states that no awning shall ibe olwer than seven feet from the sidewalk.    ,
May Be a Tax Sale
Village Counsel Flint was instruct¬ ed to e:£kmine the old txn rolls in or¬ der to find out whether a tsx sale would be legal. The village treasurer was instructed to file a list of delin¬ quent taxpayers and the amount ow¬ ing, within tiii^ty days.
A Legai Opinion
President Edwards submitted an ex¬ cellent legal opinion from Leo Fishel in which he stated that the original $10,000 subscribed to for ?/ memorial

Election night will be a big night in Rockville Centre. The big excitement will centre at the Observer Building in Ob¬ server Street, where the elec¬ tion returns will be shown in f >ill on a screen, and a band con- CHrt will be given during the ev¬ ening.

the Republican cause this year.
James W. Wadsworth, at present United States Senator, and candidate for re-election, has i)een before the public to a great extent because of his independence in advocating what he considers the best for his constituents, and in carrying out the wishes of his constituency. Senator Wadsworth will be one of the agpieakers, and as¬ surances are given that he will de¬ liver an address that will be fraught with interest from beginning to end.
Last but not least comes Assembly¬ man Theodore Roosevelt. "T. R." stands for the same thing now that it stood for ten years ago. Little further need be said than that Assemblyman Roosevelt will speak, for that an-^i nouncement itself speaks v^umes >of the treat that is in store.
Howard Osterhout -will be master of ceremonies of the affair. The recep¬ tion conunittee comprises two mem¬ bers each frofh the Nassau Young Rie- publican Club and the Harding-Cool- idge Club, and they are, respectively, Clarence Edwards, Village President of Freepoi;^, Howard Ostei-hout, At¬ tomey Henry L.

The speakers who will address the meeting  have  reputations  as orators
cl they comB with a message that strikes home to every man, woman and child in this section of Nassau Coun¬ ty, with a message of hope for better times for tbe man in business and the woman in the home.

Everyone in this sec-' tion knows Congressman Hibks, who has represented us so well in the House of Representatives, and he is not slone an interesting speaker, but he brings us a message for which his own experience vouches.
Supreme Court Justice Walter H. Jaycox of Patchogrtie, who is a can¬ didate for re-election, is a speaker who is much sought a^ter for all oc¬ casions when a speaker is desired who will deliver a message that reaches di¬ rectly to the hearts of the people.

¦ • At a meeting of the Board of £du> cation held Tuesday evening the res-; ignation of C. Dwight Baker was ten¬ dered in the form of a letter ad¬ dressed te Walter B. Cozzens.
Mr: Baker's resignation was ao« cepted and David Sutherland was ap¬ pointed acting president in his stead.
The resignation of the president reads as follows:
69 Lena Ave., Freeport, L. 1. September 11, 1920. Mr, Walter B. Cozzens,
Vice President, Board of Education, Freeport, N, Y. My dear Mr. Cozzens:-—
The special meeting of the School District held on the evening of Sep¬ tember 3, 1920, clearly demonstrated that a substantial majority of the peo¬ ple present were unalterably opposed to the proposition to erect a new and a modemly equipped high school. The meeting was well attended and many of the most active, representative and influential citizens of the district were present. This action removes any doubt as to the public sentiment which may have been entertained after tho meeting of June 14, when the question was first presented'for public discus¬ sion.
As you are aware the question of a high school has been a subject of con- sideratfon before the Board for over two years and with your co-operation I have spent many hours and studious thought over it. Its various details percuining to necessity and require¬ ments have been thoroughly discussed n an earnest spirit and decisions made thereon only after mature reflection. My vision could see in the not far dis¬ tant future a .school adapted to the purpose of giving our young men and women students such advantages as would make for the best scholarship. • It is conceded and urged that edu¬ cation not only grants the best j>ppor- tunities for advancement in the strug- yrleis of life, gives self-satisfaction in its possession and above all makes for the most enlightened citizenship, for that Americanism on which the future welfare of your country depends. Again the high school of the town is of itself a pre-eminent symbol of civ¬ ic pride and intelligent ambition iut aside from the educational aspects of the question, as a plain business prop¬ osition—appealing to financial inter¬ ests only—no advertisement is of so much J value as an appeal to the cas¬ ual visitor, the prospective tenant or the prospective purchaser of a home, as a fine, well equipped, commanding hij^h school prominently situated. I sincerely believe such an institution would return manyfold its cost, as a purely business proposition and re¬ dound to the benefit of the churches, the merchants, the banks, the proper¬ ty owners and to eommunity pride.
However, Lhe people, after having the subject in mind since June/have in their judgment decided othervW^e, and their judgment must prevail and their wishes must be executed. As a citi¬ zen I acquiesce to their determining voice, but as an individual I most em¬ phatically do not acquiesce as to the wi.sdom of their judgment.
After carefully going over this mat¬ ter as I have, I still believe that if wo are to maintain our schools properly, do our full duty by the young people of the community, that the district should immediately undertake earnest preliminary consideration and determ¬ ination as to the erection of a modem high school building. This accom¬ plished, besides giving us a needed adequate high sehool facility would also at the same time relieve the crowded conditions of the grade schools for many years.
To enlarge the grade schools will bo but to temporize and would not be a matter of ultimate economy.
My firm convictio:i in favor of an adequate high school still obtains and I cannot see it in any other light.   Be¬ ing of that opinion which  unfortun¬ ately 18 at variance with the expressed Ideas of the people, in justice both to tho public who should be represented by one in harmony with their purpos¬ es and to myself, after careful consid¬ eration I sec no alternative without being inconsistent and without stulti- I fying myself, to remain lonirer « mam MANY SEE  BOXING BOUTS     ber of your Board.

YOUNG GIRL MAKES ANOTHER RESCUE
Mary Carcich, Fifteen Years Old,
Saves Two Fr6m Drowbg
Thursday Evening
Mary Carcich, daughter of Captain John Carcich of Freeport Point is fast getting into the heroine clasj. One day this summer she rescued two children who were drifting dovm the bay in a rowboat and Thursday even¬ ing she rescued Mr. and Mrs, Percy Hayes, who were thrown into the wat¬ er when their boat overturned.
The couple were at the Point Breeze Hotel and had been te Freeport in or¬ der to get some supplies. On the way back they attempted to shift the car¬ go, with the usual results. The craft capsized and there was nothing to do but hold on and cry for help.
Mary Carcich and others heard the cries, but she was the first to reach the waterlogged Hayes family. The arrival of Mortimer Carman brought added strength to the rescue party and Mr. J\nd Mrs. Hayes were dragged to safety*
By that time two power boats had reached the scene, manned by Dick Teal and Arnold Atkinson.
It seems that the Hayes family had lost an oar and in reaching for the other not only lost that, too, but their balances as well with the result that supplies, clothing and the Hayes them¬ selves were in the creek.
All of the ptovisions went down as well as a suit case full of clothing, Mr. Hhyes lost two diamond rings from his fingers during his straggles in the water and Mrs. Hayes, her sil¬ ver mesh bag, hat andfur piece.
DEMOCRATICRALLY MONDAY EVENING
Judge Gray and Hon. Alfred Ken¬ nedy to Speak on League of Na¬ tions—Club Open Evenings
A Democratic rally and public mass meeting will be held on Railroad ave¬ nue, near the railroad station, in Free- port, on Monday evening, October 18, at 8:00 o'clock, under the auspices of the South Side Democratic Club.
Judge James A, Gray Of New Jer¬ sey; Hon. Alfred J. Kennedy and oth¬ er speakers upon the League of Na¬ tions and state issues will address the meeting.
Shortly after the last presidential election the club initiated "The Free- port Plan" of a 4-year national cam¬ paign to be conducted through the agency of small clubs throughout the United States to encourage the study and discussion of public questions.
"The plan contemplates that all citi¬ zens of good will will persuade their neighbors of whatever party to read or listen to the reading of printed ar- gumenttf upon questions of importance national, state and local affairs. The plan was approved and endorsed in 1918 by the New York Democratic State Convention held at Saratoga Springs and a number of small clubs have adopted "The Freeport Plan" of oampaign.
Pamphlets on the League of Na¬ tions and other issues may be obtain¬ ed at Democratic Headquarters, 32 So, Grove street, Freeport, where an in¬ formal meeting is held every eveninj^ between 8:00 and 11:00 p, m.
Later in the campaign sample bal¬ lots will be procured and voters will be instructed how to vote for the can¬ didates of their choice.
In a six round prelhninary Joe May was given the decision ^ver Mickie Btack.   Both were from Brooklyn.
In another six round bout, Dan Mc¬ Cormack won from Frank Conklin, both of Brooklyn.
In the semi-final, eight rounds, Henry Holaman of Brooklyn knocked out Henry Schroeder in the first round.
In the final bout, t(*n rounds, Philly Frenchy won from Joe Ryder.
