Smith Cox Is notoriously lacking in direct statement.
He deals In insinuationa.
He hlnta.
He gossipa.
Go where you will In Freeport and you will find men who have heard fhings from Mr. Cox's lips—-things which he himself Invariably credits to "I hear," "1 understand" or "Have you heard?"
For years Smith Cox has dealt in this Indefinite form of gossip.
For years has sought to capitalize reports which could not be traced to any reliable source.
If between now and the day of the village election Mr. Cox takes a citi¬ zen by the coat lapel and seeks to credit some unnamed person with hav¬ ing told him something involving the good intentions of his opponent for village presideni, that citizen should insist that Mr. Cox speak out plainly and directly.
If Mr. Cox is sincere he ought to be frank.
No hoi: est man need speak in rld- i^Ies.
Mr. Cox should deal with facts. As a guarantee of good faith he should In every statement he makes give the source of his information.
"I hear" Is played out.
"I understand" Is played out.
"Have you heard" Is played out
Pin Mr. Cox down to facta.

According to Dr. Joseph Caeca- vajo, who I* recognized aa the highest authority on population and atativtics ot the Metropoiiun District, the percentage of In¬ crease in population In Nassau County for periods of ten years since 1870 has been 15 per cent., from 1870 to 1830, 20 per cent., from 1880 to 1690, 24 per cent, from 1890 to 1900, and 35 per cent, from 1900 to 1910.
He predicts a 51 per cent in¬ crease for the ten years ending 1920, and 73 per cent increase for the ten years between 1320 and 1930.
The great growth In Nassau County is on the South Side.
Growth spells opportunity. Free- port is the centre of growth and likewise of opportunity..A conser¬ vative investor In property any¬ where from Lynbrook to Massa- pequa, who buys at fair value and Is able to hold that which he buys, may be sure of a safe and profit¬ able Investment.
No better time to buy a home than in the early spring. No com¬ munity will give you a more cor¬ dial welcome than Freeport and its neighboring villages. Come to the South Side. From The Nassau Post, Feb. 20, 191;
ROSALIE JONES EL.ECTED
The always serious seniors, thli-. time of New York University, have of ficially registered their favorites, be glninng with the current-novel and ending with the make of automobile.
Generally we are not concerned about such matters, for It is not so important what university students think about certain things; but one decision of the seniors of the New York Institution is Interesting. They nominate Rosalie Jones as their favor¬ ite character In history. Of course tbey mean contemporaneous history
Kosallo Jones is an animated, pic¬ turesque product of the times. She is an advanced style of forceful feminity. She is a versatile Venus. She is a pcltlcoated and sugarcoated pulchri¬ tude.
While she is working for votes for women she has succeeded in getting the votes of men.
Her nomination and election were unanimous.
Relieved of exacting the duties of office and free to enjoy himself after his own fashion, John Lyon, former comptroller. Is on the rostrum, telling the story of finance to delighted audi¬ ences In his own bailiwick. Mr. Lyon discusses the large affairs of state and the small affairs of towns with equal facility. He Is a weU of wisdom, equipped with a double action force pump.. May hoarseneaa never take him from the role of •atectaining •PmJmt.
Much the Freeport High School may liave fell the need of an utomalic mu¬ sic machine, llie surplus money de¬ rived from the speaking contest mighi better have gone into the treasury ol the student's association for tho dis charge df its obligations. It is alwayi a good rule to pay the bills first. High .schools would do weli to educate theii students to appreciate this primary form of economics.
FREEPOKT'S OFFER
No form of civic activity desire.' heartier approval from tho citizens oi i''reeporl Hum the efforts of the Busi uess Men's Association of the villagi to encourage responsible manufaclui- ing concerns to make Freeport theii business home.
The news columns of the Post on Friday can led a report of what tht Association Is doing. It is in com¬ munication with several large Arms vvhich are seeking the most advantag- lous place in which to invest theii justness capilal. Surely, Freeport ought lo be able to offer inducements .)t a breadth to attract most any busi- .less manr.
No belter banking facilities can be i'ound anywhere than are offered by liie financial institutions of the South Shore. The Long Island Railroad, we ire sure will aid In whatever way pos¬ sible to make transportation not onlj .ironipt but economical. Our citizens ;enerally will extend a cordial wel •ome lo anyone who is deserving. '
Freepoit, Is a unit in its endorse- iient of the worthy object to which its epresentative trade body is so enthu- iiastlcally committed.
Every man in Freeport who has the velfare of his town at heart should lecome an aflirmative worker for its iubstanlial growth.

The Board of Health of the village. It is understood', permits the work to be done under an ordinance, from .November 1 to May 1. Such an or¬ dinance sliould havo restricted the work to the residential sections dur ing the day time.

Answers To Correspondents
TO THE PUBLIC GENERALLY—My specialty is the giving of advice, to which I am more inclined seeing the scarcity of true wisdom these days, and more particularly the absence of accurate information of public affairs tmong the masses, due In part to their relentless pursuit of filthy lucre regard¬ less of the future of our beloved Republic, In part to the 111 considered poli::y of the metropolitan dailies published hard by of giving them half truths and pillorying too few offenders against our morals. I am prepared therefqre to advise freely aud without charge, being not so lofty in my pretensions as "o Ignore the humblest cases, be they stone bruises, warts upon the body politic (which is my. long suit), snakebites, moral obliquities of every sort, even persons in travail. It may be considered that Jhe merit of my advice lieth rather iu its frankness than its wisdom, to which opinion I bow in all lumiiity. BERRY BELL PEPPER, Esq., F.S.A.
GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE— /rankly, 1 don't believe you are of gu- jernaiorial limber, and I would advise /ou not to enter the race this year. vV'iih Judge Scudder the case would JO very diflerent. He would undo^bt- jdly sweep Nassau if nominated, but .le will not be a candidate. Keep your -'ye on Congressman Calder of Brook- yn. He is the Republican mot likely .0 be pushed by his party hereabouts, iov. Glynn will not refuse a renomlna- iou. If .Theodore I, should jump into .he arena, both Democratic and Re- .lubllcan candidates will have to hump ibemselves.
CLAN-NA-GAEL—I believe Senator 3*Gorman is the first New Yorker in i^he Senate who has actually bitten the .all of the British lion. Hitherto the jractice Initiated by Congressman .tlchelieu Robinson of Brooklyn oi .umply twisting it has been the approv- id method of irritating the beast. Vour powerful orgnlzatlon does well ;o commend by speech, song and reso¬ lution the courage and originality ol jur Junior Senator.
I. W. W.—You are fortunate indeed .hat Sheriff Harburger is not at tht lozzle. A single stream from his co jioua.flow of oratory were wortlf ten chousand In any fight against you You Invito oblivion If he is once troused and I advise you to be ex jeedlngly careful in your manner ol .uindllng the American flag. Let ^ileeplng dogs He.
1916—I do not believe Texaa will present the name of William Jennings Uryan to the next national convention. Somebody In the White House seems to be playing out rope sufficient to enable somebody else to hang himself. Watchful waiting paya in national as weli as intemaitonal politics. The man who framed the one-term plank in the Democratic platform Is unlikely to become tbo logical saooeasor of W. W.
COURT OF APPEALS—You neglect a great opportimity if you do not de clde that the Nassau County Review tect" the pubilc health, what can be j is the official newspaper of the county said Jn defense of the cesspool clean-1 its editor promises to "BUbltab com¬ ing?

FATHEH BELFORD—Y'our charac¬ terization of Uncle George Wallace as "a conceited ass," apropos of his strictures upon your debate with So¬ cialist Limn, is natural enough though perhaps not strictly accurate. We out here on Long Island regard him as normal save In the matter of religion, a subject upon which some of us lyay oonsider him a little "dippy." In some things we even consider him wise. 1 too read the report of your debate, and believing you had much the best of it, I cannot agree with his stric¬ tures, any more than I can agree with 'tis utterances generally upon religion. rhey remind me, for one thing, of that jld fact that a fool can ask more ques¬ tions in five minutes than a wise man jan answer in a month of Sundays, ills "conceit," of which you seem to believe he possesses a supcrabund- ince, lieth largely, it always appeared :o me, in that particular headline with vhlch he introduces his articles to the )ubllc, "An interesting discussion up- 3n religion." It would be fairer to lis readers, as indicating tbe source it his inspiration, at least, if, he dub- oed his expositions otherwise. A ¦ertain divine in this vicinity has call¬ ed UucV George "a shoemaker who ought to stick to his last."
PERRY BELL PEPPER. ESQ., F. S. A., A VISITIN' IN MANHAnAN
(From the Morning Telegraph) None other than Berry Bell Pepper, '.Jsq., F. S A., Is answering corres¬ pondents to the Nassau Post of Free- Liort. And furthermore. It Is the opin¬ ion of a valued friend that he Is hot
StBff.
Plenty of "pep" makes the paper.
But the soft pedal for the Berry BeU.
Yet Berry Bell Pepper says:
"DlsmiiB your fears as to the future it Colonel Goethals. He will return presently to the embrace of your coun- rymen. For one thing, being a Qer- nan. be is suspicious tbat the Mayor is either making a monkey out of him by the use of bis name to bolster up tlw 90U1M bOtarOr thatteinUbM«iM|^
the goat if he ever is identified with his adminIstratfion. \ovl may lose he Colonel four years hence, for | Tammany may rim him'for Mayor, ml not at this juncture.
"For another thing, the Mayor's po¬ lice bills, as 1 hare advised him, are dead or will be by the time my letter reaches you in far Panama. The Al¬ bany solons are meditating as to the proper moment to give them the coup de grace, having secretly determined to administer the k'lbosh, which, as .ou well know, ts the Spanish equiva- ent for our American colloquialism •getting It where the chicken got the ixe." The Mayor doesn't realize this, "jelng still in a seventh heaven where 'he November campaign left him.

The lango curl is the latest coif¬ fure arrangement reported from Paris. It is expected to go well with the Tango skirt.
MERBtRT V. ClOCK.
The last word from Paris is that simplicity will be the keynote of all the truly chic creations both in dresses and millinery. Cou¬ pled with this will be an effort to attain the highest degree of phy¬ sical-harmony, the study of lines and contours demanding a per¬ ceptive imagination almost equal to that of a sculptor.
Mile Christine Dix has startled Paris with a new dance styled "The Cicada Twist," described as "a rather dillicull movement cop- led from the locust, she has also presented "The Scarab Crawl,^ which is an imitation of tho alti¬ tude of the social beetle of Egypt. Oilier (lances characteristic of bugs and hctetles are expected to follow soon.

Before resuming the' rehearsal of the happenings In the life of the freshman, I shall write one, or pos¬ sibly two articles dealing with condi¬ tions in general. Manners and con- '^•'""ditions at an Eng- liRh university are so different from those to which we are accustomed, that these descriptions are neceSSary. I shall describe an ordinary day .of an ordinary undergraduate.
At about ten minutes to eight in the morning the student Is awakened—it it be winter—by his scout's lighting of the fire in the grate. This Is usual¬ ly accompanied by a clatter of tongs, IJoker, kettle and bath. The last men¬ tioned utensil is a huge shallow af-
against Ihe bed-room door—finally, if these moans fall, the scout appears' In person and bess the Riudent to get up.
Occasionally at a "wine," the night before, a man who has imbibed per¬ haps a bit too freely will hurl Invita¬ tions broadcast "to 'brekker' with me tomorrow morning." Of course these are all solemnly accepted.
The time for breakfast parties of this description Is usually set at half past eight. At this hour of the "morn¬ ing after," the undergraduate, who has issued the Invitations, may be found silting up In bed, confessing to his hor¬ rified scout that he has been a "siUy ass " the night before.
Then tliere is a fine scurrjlng about. The scout's boy nms off to the college kitchen wlih an order for the break- fa,st. The scout, after making a list of tlie men invited to the bieakfast, hurries off to tell their scouts about It. In a very Bhorl time scotits all over college are busy throwing furniture around, rattling dishes, and imploring "their young gentlemen" not to forget that Mr. Brown is waiting breakfast for them. By ten o'clock the last of the unfortunates has been driven from cover and rounded up.

In one of them is a difllcult and har¬ rowing operation.
As soon as the scout has- completed these preparations, he enters the stu¬ dent's bedroom and rouse;= him with a cheery:
"Half past seven Sir- and what will you have for breakfast r"
If the scout has been asked tbe night before to call the man In time tor chapel, he will probably start his awaking tactics five minutes earlier. .\b the doors are closed at five past eight this means that the student must hurry, if he wishes "to keep chapel."
If a man has disposed of this duty, or il is early in the week and he in tends putting "chaiiels" off till the las minute, he very probably turns ovei for a lasl nap, before braving tlie colli world and ley bath.
Presently the scout arrives with th( breakfast. If his charge is still In bed, the meal is placed upon a trestle ingeniously built from the fender to the grate, and constructed from the poker and tongs. By this means It is possible to keep food warm for an hour or more.
Very often the student has an in¬ vitation to breakfast, generally in company with several others, In the room of a mutual friend. If such is the case, the scout's efforts to arouse the slepper is really heroic. Furni¬ ture is moved, coal thrown on the fire, windows opened, brooms dropped
