MAY POSTPONE PRIMARIES
Spring Primaries Musl Conform With Proposed Reapportionment
There is a growing impression that necesaary rhanges must be made in the Primary law tb conform with the proposed reapportionment and that the election of State and county com¬ mitteemen probably will be postponed until fall. This will mean tbat the spring primaries wili be stripped of nearly all their importance. At least this ia the opinion of lawyers who have'made a study of the situation. Should their view prove correct the only ofllciala to be voted for will be delegatea and alternates-at-large and district delegates and alternatea for the national convention.
As the law stands It calls for the eleotion of State and county commit¬ teemen at spring primaries in Presi¬ dential years to hold over until the fall primaries of the succeeding year. It makes no proviaion for the re¬ apportionment of the county, which will take place after the spring pri¬ maries, placing two or more State committeemen in a single district in some cases, and leaving other distrlcta with no State committeemen.

My single purpoee In life is to keep warm in cold weather and cool in hot, and heing strictly attentive to duty and known to everybody who visits the Court House aa a good llatener who never talks, they gather around me in the rotunda and cuaa and dlacuss men and things in gen¬ eral. Naturally I hear many things that can't be so. many others not flt to print—but I keep on radiating.
ceived the county's good check for %~i,7>24 tor tax sale advertising, he twlta his Journalistic associate of hav¬ ing no such good luck. The Hemp¬ stead Colonel ia likely to retort tbat there's no use In a Freeport Colonel groaning and grunting because his newspaper wasn't redesignated aa the official county paper—a Prohibition¬ ist organ isn't entitled to it anyway. The hope is freely expres.sed that the Hempstead Colonel will never descend to slapping the Treeport Colonel on the^vrist.
I couldn't help hearing that the Republican Campaign Committee may have two private secretaries next fall, both ladles. Thus ia the aphere oi woman's usefulneas constantly en¬ larging. Woman's Influence in politics has alwaya been potential and now with her stenographic pad and Uttle typewriter she promises to become in¬ vincible. 1 heard one Republican wonder why some legislator doesn't pass a law putting more of 'em on the pay role at Albany. Mac is so busy with a multitude of more important matters that he can't be expected to take up the subject and so it wilt probably languish.
They have an editor over in Rock¬ vllie Centre who ia believed to have been bitten by the tsetse fly, I Judge by the talk of the scribblers wbo warm their ?Iiins agalnat me. At all events, he appears to have bad a sleeping spell. He came over and ad¬ dresaed the supervisors upon the wis¬ dom of selecting his newspaper for tbe advertising of the recent tax sale. Having exhausted thia aubJect, be de¬ livered an allocution to the two Democratic aupervisore upon the wis¬ dom of helping their party by help¬ ing his newspaper with advertlalng generally. After they had recovered from their astonlahment, they re¬ minded him that a newspaper over in Freeport had long before been select¬ ed. The curse of impecunioaity aeetns to hang heavily over the press of Nas¬ sau. No doubt it le an inheritance from Cain, the flrst man on record to kill good live matter. But Rockville Centre, they tell me, ia flouriahing mightily, whether in spite of or be¬ cause of its many editors. 1 haven't yet heard say.

The gossips one day gossipped about a Ilttle meeting at a private reeldente in Baldwin, called to adjust matters relating to village oflices and candidates. Thereupon one gentle¬ man arose and declared -—- — . — . . — I Whereupon the other gentleman

and then he went out and wept cop¬ iously. White Rock ia now said to be the popular tipple at private political gatherings devoted to the public up lift.
"Suppoae," aaid one of my vlsitora as he toasted hlmaelf, "you were called up by an editor and told to use your Influence to have a certain Re¬ publican appointed by the Governor to fill a certain vacancy, and suppose he told you he would wallop you if you didn't. What would you aay to
him?" — "That'a exactly
what I did say to him." I muat con¬ clude tliat profanity is on the in¬ crease in Republican clrclea in Nas¬ sau County. 1 had heretofore in¬ nocently supposed that this waa a Democratic accomplishment. Piety apparently it not wholly a Republican monopoly.
A Freeport bunch of rough-necka waa discussing the postofflce In their berg. "I hear," said one, "that Bob Anderaon, when hla term of oflSce ex- plrea next month, will be put in train¬ ing for County Treaaurer." "Yea," aaid another, "but who'll be hla Democratic successor?" "The Lord will have some trouble in getting an anointed one appointed," aaid a third. "If He won't have any of the six com¬ mitteemen, there's Felix Duffy In a receptive mood." From which I con¬ clude that Freeport is sadly in need of a "Who's Who Directory." But this is only an Impreseion of

SENATE CONSUMES MOST OF THE WEEK DISCUSSING MEXICAN SITUATION —HOUSE DEFERS VOTE ON CHILD LABOR LAW.
In the Senate the week was largely consumed in discussion of the Mexi¬ can situation, the British blockade and the queatlon of Philippine Inde¬ pendence. Hearings were held hy many of tlie Committees. They ad¬ journed Thursday.
In the House all the Committees were engaged In Conferences and hearings on the many bills which have been Introduced. It was ex¬ pected that the Keating Child Lahor bill would come to a vote but action on this important matter waa post¬ poned a week. Favorable action was taken on the Ferris bill by which some 275,000,000 acres of arid, non- timbered land wlll be open for entry by those who desire to engage in stock raising. The bill provides for allotments of 640 acre tracta and the sponsors of the boll hope It wlll encourage settlers to establish home¬ steads in the states where these im¬ mense areaa are located. The publlc lands have been rapidly taken up since the passage of the Homestead Act in 1868 and naturally the most fertile lands were the flrat to he claimed. Gradually as the moet pro¬ ductive lands were absorbed the per¬ centage of theae who perfected titles after having filed claima fell until in 1910 It waa leas'than 40 per cent. This led Congreaa ^o amend the law in 1910 so that homesteaders could acquire 320 acres inatead of 160, it being felt that the additional acreage would compensate for the lower grade of land.
It may be Interesting to note the rapidity wltli, which. puh)lic landa have' passed to private ownership since the original act waa pasaed. I have taken only the ten year periods.

The Baintaidgee ware well known in Freepost-aaciety tor several years and for threa sumaseis boarded at the Cryatal Lak* Hotel.
Championing the work and conclu¬ sions of the four minority members of the Freeport Sewer Committee, Counselor Elvin N. Edwards, aecured an almost unanlmoua adoption of their report at one of the most repre¬ sentative meetings of taxpayers ever held in Freeport. The meeting was called to order at the Grove Street School, Wedneeday evening shortly after eight o'clock, by Vlllage Presi¬ dent Roland M. Lamb. Printed cop- lee of the reports of hoth majority and minority membera had been dla¬ trlbuted to the taxpayers present.
Following the decision of tbe meet¬ ing that it did not care to have the reporta read, they having been print¬ ed In full in the local presa, John D. Gunning, chairman of the committee, spoke In behalf of the majority mem¬ bers of the committee, urging the adoption of their report.
Mr. Gunning said In part, "The majority feel that their report speaks for Itself. If the minority membera didn't know the contents of the ma¬ jority report it is their own fault; The meetings of the committee were well attended; all knew what was go¬ ing on. The minority members admit there ia necessity for sewers in one or two parts of Freeport. If there is one place requiring eewers, we contend the report of the majority must be accepted. We believe preventative measures are much more efllclent and economical than curative onea after trouble haa arisen."
Mr. Gunning spoke at length on the suggestions of the minority as to present remedies for existing condit¬ ions, the present inadequacy of the ceespool dump, the unsanitary man¬ ner of carting, and the cost of instal¬ lation, convenience and safety. Mr. Gunning said "That Freeport would save $13,000 a year hy the installa¬ tion of sewers, taking In considera¬ tion the coat, upkeep, etc."
Danlei Morrison of the minority took exception to the statement of Mr Gunning that he knew the contents of the majority report. He said he waa unable to be preeent at this meeting.
Former trustee Frank H. Stevens of the minority spoke at length. He said, "There many be several bad spots in Freeport, due to the negli¬ gence of several property owners, but I do not believe all the taxpayera should pay for the near-slghtedneaa
of Indlvldualt^. If there should arise unhealthy conditions, temporary remedies wlll sufl^ce."
Mr. Stevens stated that he had spent three days In Freeport going over .sanitary conditions with an ex¬ pert engineer. He aald the engineer told him Freeport could not be sew¬ ered ao that the taxpayers would get any real value for leaa than $1,000,- 000. It would be necessary to have three pumping atatlona instead of one and that it would eost three times as much to lay sewer pipes in the low lands of Kreeport, as had been esti¬ mated by Smith & Malcomson.
Concluding, Mr. Stevens said, "We have had the water supply anallzed, the minority falls to see any real danger in the present condition of the water aud we can't aee why Freeport should be saddled with a tremendous burden when $2,500 will pay for the sinking of our wella heyond any dan¬ ger of pollution."
Whereupon Counaelor E. N. Ed¬ wards, after discussing the reports specifically and minutely, moved the adoption of the minority report. The motion was seconded by Postmaster Robert G. Anderaon.
A. T. Davison aaked if the majority committee disputed the fact that the lowering of the wells would prevent pollution? Mr. Gunning said they did not but believed such a remedy only temporary.
Several reporta of the State Board of Health were read by Vlllage Coun¬ sel Leo Fishel.
Counaelor Edwarda said there waa conelderahle activity among some people for a aewer aystem. He said he wondered if they were acting con¬ scientiously, "lan't the activity," he said, "on the part of these people to fasten a aewer eystem on us at a great cost. He aaid he believed any refer¬ ence to a "menace in Freeport" waa an atteinpt to put over aomethlng.
The motion waa put by President Lamb and the report of the minority almoat unanimously adopted.
Following a very serious discussion of present health conditions in F'ree¬ port and alleged menaces in the vi¬ cinity of the Water Station, Frank E. Pitcher moved "That it be the senae of the representative taxpayers prea¬ ent, that If any menace does exiat, the Board of Health act to its full ex¬ tent and power to remove said men¬ ace." The motion was unanimously passed and the meeting adjourned.
COMPLETE lEX
AT TOWN BOARD MEETING ON TUESDAT CLERK GILBERT AN¬ NOUNCES COMPLETION OF WORK — INESTIMABLE VALUE.
A short meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Hempstead wae held in the town hali at Hempstead on Tuesday. The minutes of the last meeting aa read by Clerk Gilbert were approved.
Town Clerk Gilbert announced tho completion of the indexing of the records and files of the oflice, there being some 15,000 carda oovering records dated as far back as 1760. The bond of Tax Collector Joaeph H. Foeter In the sum of $200,000 was submitted for approval. It was tho consensu.s of opinion among the membera that tho amount of the bond waa altogether too large, and the mat¬ ter waa held in abeyance for a week for further conaideration.
Aaaessor Clarence A. Edwarda ad¬ dresaed the membera of the Board relative to several grave errors in the Prichard petition about to be aub¬ mitted to the people. He waa in¬ formed that the Board had no juris¬ diction in tho matter.
The Uoard adjourned at an early hour to meet on Friday morning, as a Board of Canvass.

Roosevelt Sunday School Board Elects Officers.
At the Sunday School Board meet¬ ing of the Flrat M. E. Church at Roosevelt this week oflBcers were elected for the ensuing year.
The Sunday school haa had an un¬ usually good year with increasing membership. As there are over flfty echoiara enrolled in the primary de¬ partment and the room uaed by them on the main floor is needed for the other scholars, a committee consist¬ ing of John C. Cornelius, Charles E. Whitehouse, Jr., and Mrs. Frank A. Wood were appointed to confer with the offlcial board on ways and means to equip the basement for that de¬ partment. The school Is alao giving vigorous help to its secretary, Fred¬ erick E. Peterson, who is organizing a United Boy's Brigade in Roosevelt and who are meeting eacb Tuesday evening in the church building. Ail the boys Joining the brigade must attend some Sunday school but there is no effort made to take them away from their preaent relations with other Sunday schools. Over flfty boys attended at the last meeting and there have been over seventy inquir¬ ies from the youths in that vielnlty. Many of the older residents bave volunteered to assist in a material way to make the movement success¬ ful.

At a brief meeting held after the service of last Sunday, a committee was appointed to canvass the entire neighborhood and thus learn bow many there are intereated in the con¬ gregation and where they live, thus enabling us to secure the most ac¬ cessible location for the permanent church. Another committee waa ap¬ pointed to secure information on available plots. The fact of SL John's being established is beyond all doubt. The question of location is not quite fully determined. It may be neces¬ sary for the congregation at once to establish a branch Sunday school and thus take care of all Lutheran chil¬ dren as well as any others not con¬ nected witb a school.

The first half half waa Interesting, the acore being about even, but in the second half the Hempetead boys literally ran away from their opponents, caging basket after basket. Joe Blanke waa the star of the game, ma:>.Ing flfteen bas¬ kets and playing a great guarding game, breaking up the opponenta team work time and time aain. This Saturday night, Jan. 29, the visiting team will be the Brooklyn Seperatea, who defeated Hempstead in the flrst part of the eeaaon, score 37-26.

This will mean tbat the spring primaries wili be stripped of nearly all their importance. At least this ia the opinion of lawyers who have'made a study of the situation. Should their view prove correct the only ofllciala to be voted for will be delegatea and alternates-at-large and district delegates and alternatea for the national convention. As the law stands It calls for the eleotion of State and county commit¬ teemen at spring primaries in Presi¬ dential years to hold over until the fall primaries of the succeeding year. It makes no proviaion for the re¬ apportionment of the county, which will take place after the spring pri¬ maries, placing two or more State committeemen in a single district in some cases, and leaving other distrlcta with no State committeemen.

The Hemp¬ stead Colonel ia likely to retort tbat there's no use In a Freeport Colonel groaning and grunting because his newspaper wasn't redesignated aa the official county paper—a Prohibition¬ ist organ isn't entitled to it anyway.

SENATE CONSUMES MOST OF THE WEEK DISCUSSING MEXICAN SITUATION —HOUSE DEFERS VOTE ON CHILD LABOR LAW. In the Senate the week was largely consumed in discussion of the Mexi¬ can situation, the British blockade and the queatlon of Philippine Inde¬ pendence. Hearings were held hy many of tlie Committees. They ad¬ journed Thursday. In the House all the Committees were engaged In Conferences and hearings on the many bills which have been Introduced. It was ex¬ pected that the Keating Child Lahor bill would come to a vote but action on this important matter waa post¬ poned a week. Favorable action was taken on the Ferris bill by which some 275,000,000 acres of arid, non- timbered land wlll be open for entry by those who desire to engage in stock raising. The bill provides for allotments of 640 acre tracta and the sponsors of the boll hope It wlll encourage settlers to establish home¬ steads in the states where these im¬ mense areaa are located. The publlc lands have been rapidly taken up since the passage of the Homestead Act in 1868 and naturally the most fertile lands were the flrat to he claimed. Gradually as the moet pro¬ ductive lands were absorbed the per¬ centage of theae who perfected titles after having filed claima fell until in 1910 It waa leas'than 40 per cent. This led Congreaa ^o amend the law in 1910 so that homesteaders could acquire 320 acres inatead of 160, it being felt that the additional acreage would compensate for the lower grade of land. It may be Interesting to note the rapidity wltli, which. puh)lic landa have' passed to private ownership since the original act waa pasaed.

However, they feel that In Mr. Hegarty they have secured an ex¬ cellent successor. Sisrns Bainbridee Decree. Mrs. Florence H.

Levy was attor¬ ney for Mra. BaiabvMg. The Baintaidgee ware well known in Freepost-aaciety tor several years and for threa sumaseis boarded at the Cryatal Lak Hotel. Championing the work and conclu¬ sions of the four minority members of the Freeport Sewer Committee, Counselor Elvin N. Edwards, aecured an almost unanlmoua adoption of their report at one of the most repre¬ sentative meetings of taxpayers ever held in Freeport. The meeting was called to order at the Grove Street School, Wedneeday evening shortly after eight o'clock, by Vlllage Presi¬ dent Roland M. Lamb. Printed cop- lee of the reports of hoth majority and minority membera had been dla¬ trlbuted to the taxpayers present. Following the decision of tbe meet¬ ing that it did not care to have the reporta read, they having been print¬ ed In full in the local presa, John D. Gunning, chairman of the committee, spoke In behalf of the majority mem¬ bers of the committee, urging the adoption of their report. Mr. Gunning said In part, "The majority feel that their report speaks for Itself. If the minority membera didn't know the contents of the ma¬ jority report it is their own fault; The meetings of the committee were well attended; all knew what was go¬ ing on. The minority members admit there ia necessity for sewers in one or two parts of Freeport. If there is one place requiring eewers, we contend the report of the majority must be accepted. We believe preventative measures are much more efllclent and economical than curative onea after trouble haa arisen." Mr. Gunning spoke at length on the suggestions of the minority as to present remedies for existing condit¬ ions, the present inadequacy of the ceespool dump, the unsanitary man¬ ner of carting, and the cost of instal¬ lation, convenience and safety. Mr. Gunning said "That Freeport would save $13,000 a year hy the installa¬ tion of sewers, taking In considera¬ tion the coat, upkeep, etc." Danlei Morrison of the minority took exception to the statement of Mr Gunning that he knew the contents of the majority report. He said he waa unable to be preeent at this meeting. Former trustee Frank H. Stevens of the minority spoke at length. He said, "There many be several bad spots in Freeport, due to the negli¬ gence of several property owners, but I do not believe all the taxpayera should pay for the near-slghtedneaa of Indlvldualt^. If there should arise unhealthy conditions, temporary remedies wlll sufl^ce." Mr. Stevens stated that he had spent three days In Freeport going over .sanitary conditions with an ex¬ pert engineer. He aald the engineer told him Freeport could not be sew¬ ered ao that the taxpayers would get any real value for leaa than $1,000,- 000. It would be necessary to have three pumping atatlona instead of one and that it would eost three times as much to lay sewer pipes in the low lands of Kreeport, as had been esti¬ mated by Smith & Malcomson. Concluding, Mr. Stevens said, "We have had the water supply anallzed, the minority falls to see any real danger in the present condition of the water aud we can't aee why Freeport should be saddled with a tremendous burden when $2,500 will pay for the sinking of our wella heyond any dan¬ ger of pollution." Whereupon Counaelor E. N. Ed¬ wards, after discussing the reports specifically and minutely, moved the adoption of the minority report. The motion was seconded by Postmaster Robert G. Anderaon. A. T. Davison aaked if the majority committee disputed the fact that the lowering of the wells would prevent pollution? Mr. Gunning said they did not but believed such a remedy only temporary. Several reporta of the State Board of Health were read by Vlllage Coun¬ sel Leo Fishel. Counaelor Edwarda said there waa conelderahle activity among some people for a aewer aystem. He said he wondered if they were acting con¬ scientiously, "lan't the activity" he said, "on the part of these people to fasten a aewer eystem on us at a great cost. He aaid he believed any refer¬ ence to a "menace in Freeport" waa an atteinpt to put over aomethlng. The motion waa put by President Lamb and the report of the minority almoat unanimously adopted. Following a very serious discussion of present health conditions in F'ree¬ port and alleged menaces in the vi¬ cinity of the Water Station, Frank E. Pitcher moved "That it be the senae of the representative taxpayers prea¬ ent, that If any menace does exiat, the Board of Health act to its full ex¬ tent and power to remove said men¬ ace." The motion was unanimously passed and the meeting adjourned. COMPLETE lEX AT TOWN BOARD MEETING ON TUESDAT CLERK GILBERT AN¬ NOUNCES COMPLETION OF WORK — INESTIMABLE VALUE. A short meeting of the Town Board of the Town of Hempstead wae held in the town hali at Hempstead on Tuesday. The minutes of the last meeting aa read by Clerk Gilbert were approved. Town Clerk Gilbert announced tho completion of the indexing of the records and files of the oflice, there being some 15,000 carda oovering records dated as far back as 1760. The bond of Tax Collector Joaeph H. Foeter In the sum of $200,000 was submitted for approval. It was tho consensu.s of opinion among the membera that tho amount of the bond waa altogether too large, and the mat¬ ter waa held in abeyance for a week for further conaideration. Aaaessor Clarence A. Edwarda ad¬ dresaed the membera of the Board relative to several grave errors in the Prichard petition about to be aub¬ mitted to the people. He waa in¬ formed that the Board had no juris¬ diction in tho matter. The Uoard adjourned at an early hour to meet on Friday morning, as a Board of Canvass.

At the Sunday School Board meet¬ ing of the Flrat M. E. Church at Roosevelt this week oflBcers were elected for the ensuing year. The Sunday school haa had an un¬ usually good year with increasing membership. As there are over flfty echoiara enrolled in the primary de¬ partment and the room uaed by them on the main floor is needed for the other scholars, a committee consist¬ ing of John C. Cornelius, Charles E. Whitehouse, Jr., and Mrs. Frank A. Wood were appointed to confer with the offlcial board on ways and means to equip the basement for that de¬ partment.

Another committee waa ap¬ pointed to secure information on available plots. The fact of SL John's being established is beyond all doubt. The question of location is not quite fully determined. It may be neces¬ sary for the congregation at once to establish a branch Sunday school and thus take care of all Lutheran chil¬ dren as well as any others not con¬ nected witb a school.
