FISHEL AS VILLAGE COUNSEL.
Leo Fishel has served the Board of Trustees most efficiently during the past year as their vlllage counsel. He hae advised the institution of many reform measures which have worked to the interest ot. the taxpayers.
We sincerely hope the incoming board can flnd it possible to continue Mr. Fishel In office. There is one thing they can be sure of, he values his services far aiiove any paltry compensation. He takes pride as u lawyer of F'reeport, in aiding in the Katisfactory tran.saction of the village affairs.
IS OSBORN SIDETRACKED?
A Washington dispatch says ad¬ ministration circles are puzzled to know whetlier William Church Osborn or Edwin S. Harris is the reai ehad of the Democratic State Oommittee. Tlie uncertainty is said to arise from the fact that Democrats who look to Mr. Osborn to secure federal jobs for them do not get thc jobs while those wlio depend upon Mr. Harris do get them Some light may be thrown upon the preeent situation in the Democratic State Committee by the statement made by Chairman Osborn in Septem¬ ber, 1914, when he resigned the chairmanship. In that statement he sa|d: "I had not control of patronage or of the State Committee." At pres¬ ent Mr. Osborn does not appear to have any control over patronage and hlB control of the State Committee re¬ mains to be demonstrated. It looks very much as though history were re"- peatlng Itself in the Democratic State Committee.
At the time of Mr. Osborn's retire¬ ment from the chairmanship of the Democratic State Committee In 1914 war was declared by the Wilson Democrats on the Tammany-Glynn or¬ ganization and Franklin D. Roosevelt, representing the Wilson Democrats, in a public statement said: "This is a flght to the death for freedom from political slavery and neither Mr. Os¬ born nor anyone else can reconcile the Democrats of New York State and the handful of politicians and con¬ tractors who have usurped Its leader¬ ship.
Osborn never has been especially popular with Tammany although Tammany controlled the State Com¬ mittee that elected him as Its chair¬ man nearly eight to one. Harris, on the other hand always has stood well with Tammany. Osborn never has been conspicuous among the defenders of the administration of Gov. Olynn. Harris, on the contrary, ever since he followed Governor Qlynn out of of¬ flce has been tbe most conspicuous defender of the Qlynn administration. If Harris le able to get jobs from the federal administration those jobs un¬ doubtedly wlll go to the followers of the' men who are backing him. If Osborn were able to get jobs from the federal administration they might go to Tammany-Glynn Democrats, but the chances are they would not. The fact that he is not able to get theni and that Harris is seems to Indicate that Tammany has a stronger pull on Waahlngton than have the real Wil¬ son Democrats.
TIN CAN MENACE. Who would havo thought that the tin pan is a menace to the public health? The expert malaria Investi¬ gators of the United States Public Health Service have found however that discarded tin cans containing rain water are breeding places for the Koaflulto which Is the sole agent In spreading malaria. A hole In the bot¬ tom of the empty can might have resulted In the aaVing of a human life. Certainly it would have assisted In preventing a debilitating illness. Empty tin cans have no business about the premlM* anyway, biu if we must so decorate our back yards, let's
(From Brooklyn Dally Tlmea.) There will be a bearing In Albany
Wedneaday on the McWhinney bill, appropriating something less than a million dollars for the acquisition of land through which the United States Government plans th^ construction of a barge canal, connecting Jamaica Bay with Peconic Bay and all the bays and sounds that lie between them. The bill- has been urged f5r several years by the Waterways League, as provision for a comple¬ mentary extension of the Barge Ca¬ nal. Not only wlll there be repre¬ sentatives of Long leland at tbe joint session of the two flnancial commit¬ tees of the Legislature, but from other sections of the State, men In¬ terested In the commercial use of artiflclal waterways will gather at Albany.
The demands made upon the Leg¬ islature by the proponents of the measure are modest. The advantages of the canal would be many and mani¬ fest. Setting aside the military ad¬ vantage of an inland waterway be¬ hind the great sand bar that but¬ tresses the south shore of Long Island, an advuiitafie thai has won approval of the prdject frotn the army engi¬ neers, there are commercial consider¬ ations of great weight that should affect the minds of the legislators. Long Island Is a populous and pros¬ perous territory, and should share In the beneflts of the Barge Canal, which would be of greater value to the peo¬ ple of the State at large because the Island had access to it. .lamaica Bay and the other bays that indent the South Shore, with their natural sea wall protecting them against the fury of the ocean, already have consid¬ erable water commerce, and offer op¬ portunities for a splendid develop¬ ment.
The State is not asked to buy a pig in a poke or to commit itself to a project that may Involve it in enormous expense. In the McWhin¬ ney bill it is carefully safeguarded against anything of this kind. The measure provides that all the money shall bc expended under the super¬ vision of the State Engineer and Sur¬ veyor, and It further provides that the money shall not become available until the State Engineer shall be sat¬ lsfled that the Federal Government is ready to proceed with the work of physical construction.
The bill is commendable. It pro¬ vides for a co-operation of the State with the Federal Government In an improvenient of great commerciai | value, locally, and of the utmost strategic Importance to the military arm of the Nation.
electric lights insUlled In his store when the power plant was erected, and was also one of tbe first to use gas lampe In this town. We hope that the rest of the business men of the vlllage wlll follow this splendid example.

MONEY BUT NO SHIPS.
The Navy Department is making no effort to proceed with the build¬ ing of the battleships which Con¬ gress authorized ten months ago. The longer the administration can poet- pone the expenditure of money, the better Mr. McAdoo's doctored treas¬ ury statement will appear. The cause of Tiational defence may suffer, but that is of small consequence to an administration whose chief desire is to defend Itself.—The Protection¬ ist.

WHY?
If the opening of factories, which were closed by the free trade, for the manufacture of munitions of war, is free trade prosperity, why does the Democratic Congress Impose addi¬ tional taxes and threaten an issue of bonds to make up a great national deficit in revenues? — Walter J. Ballard.
ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE STEP.
It is interesting to note that one of our leading merchants of Freeport has taken another step In Improving the vlllage. Mr. H. Schloslii h^s erect¬ ed two beautiful Iron lamp' posts In front of his department store.
Mr. Schloss was the first to have
farm for twenty or more years. He is a man much respected and whose ad¬ vice is considered par excellence on all farm questions and the breeding and raising of flne stock. He has six sons, all of whom are single and in¬ terested with him on the farm, except one, who is the storekeeper and post¬ master at Massapequa.
He has by his honesty and broth¬ erly treatment of everybody during his long and active life won for him a character to be envied and emul¬ ated.
