DEATH OF THE POPE
Not lu: tbe i-crtallty of war comes directly ry the bullet, sabre, and bay¬ onet. Tbe Indi 6ct deaths no man has ever dared to estimate.
Wlthom doubt the deetb of Pope Piua wa« thtii caused. It ia true tbat be Waa nearly eighty years of age. but in wvll preB«>rTed constitutions at the present time, four score years are not neceaaarlly a cause of death or intellectnal Imiialrmeut.
This last Ulneas of tbe Pope waH almost coincident with the declara¬ tions that startled tbe entire civilized world. None knew better tban he, tbe awful horror that these acts must in¬ volve.
Juat before death, he was heard to say, "I nball net cease to Implore God to stop rbla biunan treachery."
PREVENT THE MOSQUITOES
Like every other town on Long Is¬ land, or along the Jersey coast, Free- port Buffers from tbe plague of mos- QUltoes. And It entirely preventable. It seems strange that an Intelligent community shoald suffer firom' auch a corse wben proper attention could eradicate it. Tbey were aa bad a peat iu Panama, as in any Jersey village. But scientlflc methods banished them a'moat entirely. "
In order to produce tbls mucb desir¬ ed condition, it la necessary to destroy the germs, tbe breeding placea. These insects only breed In sUgnant i>oo1b and places tbat ought to be banlabed anyway. A double good can be rend¬ ered to tbla community by cleaning up and exterminating auch breeding apots.
And the strangest part of tbe wbole story ia tbe fact that this village is paying quite a respectable aum, per annum, for one of tbe worat "moa- qultoe" breeding farms to be found anywhere in tbis section! And as far as tbe Post can learn, the aald tract is used for no other purpose, certain¬ ly none that benefits tbe village in the amalleat degree.
In this connection we wish to give credit to Dr. William H. Runcle and Mi. AlTln A. Sealy for advocating an extensive campaign against this rest last apring. The movement was not extensive enough to produce the £t<(ilred result. And It la a war tbat B^cald be waged as long aa tbe mos quite makes Us appearance.

CHILDISH IGNORANCE
One of those dreadful cases of child¬ ish Ignorance and depravity haa juat been onearthM in East Northport. Tbe BVeet little daughter of Robert Lyon«, less than three yeara of age, la dead aa tbe reault of criminal as- aaults ^y boyb of that village.

Tbe rbil^ wfta a bright UtUe girl ;«ao hsb been aii' Invalid for more Iban I've years. The crime waa com- mlik^ about two weeka ago while ttae child .\»a playiaif sear her home.

I'OETKY AND WAR
It would sftcm as If ihcEu two sentiments or emotions would be aa widely sundered aa ibe pueta, 1 ul kucb Is nut the caae. Tbe reason is that poetry mujt .and bas been able lo «xxtrt!bs every emotion of tbe buman heart throughout all hiatory. And it la equally true tbat foUowlng every war. poetry bas quickly Uken iu legitimate pUce, and been followed by some of tbe maa- erplecHM of ail liieraiure. Dante was a soldier and left war ridden Florence to retire to solitude and produce 'The Divine Comidy."
Cervantes.wbo was a Spanish soldier imprisoned for five years, conceived the wonderful story, "Don Quixote" while in a dungeon. After tbe Civil War in England, Milton wrote "iuiudire Lost."
Tbe close of ttae Napoleonic era ix marked by tbe most extensive revival In tbe lit,?rary, inu^iieal und urii&tii vorids than any tbat bad hitherto pre¬ vailed, bryon, Shelley, Scutt, Wordtworth and Coleridge in England, and Schiller aud'tioethe in (.ieruiauy, are some of tbe famous names of that colos- iRl epoch.
Ho it may come al.out tl-.at ai the close of the great war now under way tbe meuui sterility and ftebleuess tbet marks a modem country, will be re¬ placed by its vigor, ils eloquence, and tne inatlnct of intellectual achievement.
' ¦ LEFT ON THE BATTLE-FIELD.
What, waa it a dream? am I all alone In the dreary nlgbt and tbe drizzling rain?
Hist! ah. It was only tbe river's moan; Tliey have luU me behind witb the mangled slain.
Ifea, now i remembei it all to well!
We met, from the battling ranka apart; 'i'ogetber our weapons flaabed and fell.
And mine was abeathed in bia quivering heart. ~ ~
In the cypress gloom, w here tbe ded was done. It was all too dark to see bis face; but 1 beard bis death-groans, one by one. And tae holds 'oe atill in a 6oUt embrace.

He spoke but oboe, and 1 could uot hear
The words he faJd, for the cannon's roar; But my heart grew cold with a deadly fear—
O God! I had heara that voice before.
•_ _ -
Had beard it before at our motber'a knee, "
When we lisped tbe worda of our evening prayer.
My brother! would I bad dl^d for tbee,^ This burden is more than my soul can bear.
I pressed my lipa to his death-cold cheek, '~~
And begged him to show me, by word cr sign,
Tbat be knew uud forgave me; he could not speak. But he nestled b.s poor cold face to mine.
/he t lOod flowed fast from my wounded aide, And tben for u while I forgot my pain, |^
Aud bver tbe lacklet we seemed to glide in our Utile t>oai, two boys again.
And then, in my dream, r^^ stood alone *~
On a forest path where tbe shadows fell; ' Ind I b>ard again the tremulous tone, *~
And tbe lender words ol bis last farewell.
But that parting was years, long years ago.
He wandered away to a foreign land; ''nd our dear old mother will never know ~
That he died lo night by bis brother's band.
The i-oldiirs wbo burled the dead away.
Disturbed not ihe clasp of that last embrace, But laid thom lo sleep tiU tbe Judgment day, Heart folded to heart, and face to face.
SARAH T. BOI TON". In the connection of war and poetry as set forth above, read, "Under tbe Shadow of Swords." It waa written by a resident of Freeport and seems peculiarly appropriate to tbe times.
Tbe above poem is more tban the battle cry of the victor, the stern Kitchner, wbo knows or cares for nothing but war. Witb some soldiers it becomea fanaticism. They can scarcely conceive of any otber death than the one on tbe battlefield. And now tbe exquisite plaint in tbe following.
"PARADISE IS UNDER THE SHADOW OF SWORDS.' Under the uhadow of gleaming swords.
With woDion to love and men to shield thera, To (k'l'end their Innd from tbe ravenous hordes,
O, btrong are ihe Kwords as the men that wield them. ^ With Llie eword on tht- wall, let patriots sigh,
In tbo Shadow of swords doth Paradise lie. >^
lu the Shadow of Sword s. It hath ever been auiig.
Kver wos thus tie a tlade was brought, for the prliiiiiJve man ir« t a pria,itlve foe,
if there's aught tc desire, their battles are fougat. in itae Shadow of bwords dotb Paradise lie,
The Bword on tbe wall all facts deny.
Power means oonqueat, and conquest power,
A nation drowses and dreams in peace,
But the world swings on, there strikes an hour.
When tbe i.letper is roused, and bis druams must ceate. The BWurdB leai* ir rth to defend, defy.
In tbe b'baduw ol Swords doth Paradloe lie.

SUPREME COURT MOMINEE President Wilson baa nomlnjUed At- toraey 0«n«ral, Jatees C. McReynolds to the United States Supreme Court to flU tbe vacancy caused by tbe death of tbe lau Justice Lunton. It is thought there wUl be but little oppo sltion to tbe ratiflcaUon.
An exchange pronounces it a safe, logical choice, but not an ideal one. Tbe new JusUce wUl Uke hia aeat wben the court reconvenes October 1. Contrary to tbe general belief, Mc¬ Reynolds will not be tbe youngest liiember of the court. He Is two montha older than Justice Hughes.
MONEY FOR RED CROSS Tbere have been some remarkable sums raised and applied by tbe Red Cross Society in times ul' distress, war and riaaater. These sums have been raised chiefly In small amounts. Large numbers of people have given as they were able to aid this BOCiety In carrying on Ils work of mercy and charity.
For the Messina earthquake victims nearly a million dollars was raised, and almost two millionB for the Ohio flood sufferers.
The present need Ib likely to be much greater tban in these cases. The sick and wounded of all the arm ies now in the fleld may be a million men.
