Britisb detestation of rovers of the sea and air is complete.
The new apportionment of the state is well on Its way to thfi statute books. Like all apportionments of legislative districts since the year 1812, It Is a "gerrymander. " When the Democrats are in power, they give ua an apportionment which promptly hecomes a Democratic "gerryman- •der." The difference between a Democratic "gerrymander" and a Republican "gerrymander" Is that one Is made by Democrats, the ¦other by Republicans. The principle employed In the construction of each is "Cripple the other party if you can." The political professors be <3ome hot under the collar over these p'erlodic disturbances of district boun daries and denounce them aa "out- ragee." But the great mass of voters "moves calmly onward oblivious to this partisan clamor. They know they can live, move and Indulge in the pursuit of happiness as well In one district as In anoiher. and they are content to allow the professionals In politics to play thc roll of avenger in these "outrages."
If a Cape Ann Yankee nained Gerry hadn't been Governor of Maesachu- settfi in the year '12, this political distortion of voting districts would probably have been known as the •'salamander." for that was the shape of one of the easterly districts of the state after his party had flnlshed their efforts to annihilate Federalist majorities In the counties therein, and he had countenanced them by signing their apportionment law. As it was, the apportionment became a "gerry¬ mander," and so these partisan pro¬ ducts are known to this day. The Democrats reapportioned New York In 1892, when Roswell P. Flower was Oovernor and that shrewd politician David B. Hill was his political men¬ tor. The Republicane of that day «alled it not only a "gerrymander" but a "cuckoo."
The new apportionment makes no changes so far as Nassau and Suffolk are concerned. Together they will oonstltute the First senatorial dis¬ trict. Nassau will still have one assemblyman and will continue to be known as the county of Mac Whlnney. Suffolk will etill have two assembly¬ men. The citizenry of both counties mast do its duty with increased vigor If It yearns for additional representa¬ tion at Albany, for this little detail, population, Is the main spring of all apportionments.
rills remark I the very active secretary, has so per sistently pursued President Peters that he has agreed to furnish an up- to-date depot and thus earn a well- deserved rest. Things are now hum¬ ming in Baldwin, and Kreeport and Rockville Centre are concerned at the prospect of another metropolis spring¬ ing, as it were, from their very midst!

The Hrooklyn Stantiard-Union is a valuable acquisition to any news¬ paper's exchange list. There is some¬ thing about Its Republicanism which differentiates it from others of its faith in the big city. It must be ils punch which is straight-out from the shoulder always.
The race Is not always to the swift, nor political recognition to the pro¬ moters of personal machines. The public likes to look upon a servant who attends strictly to the duties of his oiTice and it has, according to all accounts, conceived a very favorable opinion, for that reason, of Its Secre¬ tary of Stale. Francis M. Hugo. An admirer of his writes asking if this particular oflice has ever been a step¬ ping stone to eomething higher in governmental life. Two instances of this character occur to us at the mo¬ ment, doubtless there are others. John A. Dix was Secretary of State and afterwards became Governor. Chauncey M. Depew held the office and later became United Slates Sena¬ tor. \
Nassau loses no distinction as the warfare for Women's Suffrage goes bravely on. It is the home of the old¬ est Suffragist and also the youngest. Miss Eleanor Crary, aged six, of East Rockaway, and now It Is discovered that the one member of the sex to hold the offlce of Senator In a Sover¬ eign State in all these United States had a Nassau "bringing up." She is Mra. Helen Ring Robinson, State Senator of Colorado. Once upon a time she was Miss Helen Ring and taught school In Glen Cove. That was away back In 1885, when quite girl¬ ish school teachers were, no doubt, in vogue; for her picture as presented by the Brooklyn Dally Eagle Is that of an attractive matron in the forties. By the way. Col. Youngs, we must carefully remember in our model and modt>st efforts to lead the publlc In correct paths, that the members of that great American mass endeavor¬ ing to ameliorate the condition of womankind are Suffragists. That other great maas which lives and labors and shatters glate-glass in England is correctly known as Suf¬ fragettes. Busy editors are apt to forget which is which, but Just recall tho simple word "pantalettes" and you're back again on the beaten track; it rhymes with the other and the other you should know is taboo in American circles.
Headquarters Nassau Post Punitive Expedition:—Pursuit of the Festive Thought In the editorial columns of our esteemed contemporaries, laat issue, has been practically futile. For elusiveness Villa has nothing on their F. T's. Col. MacElroy must have burst a girth in his previous issue, for his Owl is as staid and sober a bird as ever bluffed as the possessor of wisdom. Col. Pearsall retired to the darkened chamber sometimes called by his critics his hole, where he Is said to be still sulking over the loss of his peacock Jacket. Col. Youngs ascended to the realm of nat¬ ional politics and put It all over the Democrats. Incidentally and furtively giving his good friend T. R. a friendly boost. When the Inquirer goes on a national tear, things are doing which eliminates the F. T. and produce cor¬ responding depression in the Ro¬ tunda. "Dizzy" Is said to he doing hlS4spring ploughing on the Oyster Bay hillsides. Only Uncle George Wallace comes to the scratch and that most nobly In his little sermon on Go- to-Church Sunday, in which, by the way, no reference Is made to his famous universal-land-dlstributlon plan for assuring greater salvation to mankind. Let us' solemnly resolve, bre*thren, that no such dereliction of Duty shall occur again. The Nassau press owes something to its readers— its leaderfc should be the first to rec¬ ognize that fact.

The report of Vlllage Engineer William R. Smith relative to the con¬ dition of the municipal plant with the f-ecommendation that tlie railroad tracks be extended was received and flled. The matter of the extension was Inld on the table until estimates of the cost could be secured from the Long Island Railroad.
Road Commissioner Bond was pres¬ ent and addressed the board relative to several desired Improvements, es¬ pecially as to the condition of many dangerous lengths of sidewalks.
Village Counsel Fishel read and filed with the board an opinion as to the authority of the board to pass ordi¬ nances prohibiting boxing matches such as are being contemplated in Freeport. In short he held that the board had no Jurisdiction in matters legalized by the State, although they had authority to prevent disorderly conduct and brutality.
Clerk Shea was directed to order supplies requeated by C. O. Niles. A communication was received from the Attorney General of the State rela¬ tive to the power of the board to com¬ pel the laying of sidewalks.
There was considerable discussion relative to a communication from the Onslow-Moore Company asking and requesting a refund for gravel laid on streets now dedicated to the vlllage and assessed for improvements. The company also requested aid in their mosquito extermination campaign.

so much stress upon our service to the poor, seeing liow little tiiey have be¬ side liardship and sorrow.
.Much time has been spent visiting tlie homes where every effort has been made to make good women out of un¬ promising girls and where we hope some constructive work has been ac¬ complished.
Our hope for a belter Freepori lies in the coming generation. Our com¬ munity need, as 1 see It, is to protect and aid those children who have been neglected. If the child's own home is not a safe place to live in, the chil¬ dren should be cared for in whatever other way seems wisest. It is aston¬ ishing to see the needless suffering of the many cliildren.

ed Miss Child's position, I wish to pay ways.

A JUDGMENT FOR S550

The poor suffer from other things than the want of money. They need guidance, protection, care and advice. Nothing but sympathy and love can satisfy the hunger of many a home. As I have mingled among the people. I have come to realise why Christ laid

in just 44 days JtS.J representatives ofthe Republican parly will assemble In Chicago to choose a Presidential lickel. Ill ul days tho Democrats will gatlier in St. Louis to nominate a Prenidentiai and Vice-Presidential nominee.
To date the Republicans have chos¬ en .'3.'! delegates, which leaves 452 to be selected. The Democrats have elected or de.'^ignaled about four hun¬ dred and fifty of tlieir representatives. They are all favorable to the renom¬ ination of Presidenl Wilson. There is no doubt of his renomination.
With the Hepitblicans it is different
vastly different. There probably iMii't ft Hepublican anywhere in the country who would he willing lo make
substantial wager that he could name the Republican nominee.
Sentiment for botli Theodore Roose¬ velt and Justice Chas. Ft. Hitghos con¬ tinues to grow. Tlte leaders don't want one and they don't know wheth¬ er they could have the other.
One of the most prominent Repub¬ licans in the counly yesterday sized up the outlook for the Nassau Post in the following manner:
"If Justice Hughes wiil accept a nomination lie very probably will get If Theodor^ Roosevelt can get it, lie wiil do so. If Justice Hughes de¬ clines and Mr. Roosevelt is thwarted by bis foes in tlie national organiza¬ tion the leaders will turn lo Ellhu Root."
