““How would it do to li- 
cense one auto to each five hundred of 
population as the temperance bill before 
the (R. I.) legislature proposes to re- 
gulate the number of saloons? This 
ought to pacify somewhat those who ob- 
following: 
ject to the machines going over the high- 
ways.’ It adds that ‘‘ twenty miles an 
hour as the lawful maximun speed to 
some autoists will be very much like 
standing still. Fifty at least is their idea 
of the speed they should be allowed to 
travel over the roads notwithstanding the 
danger of such running to more or less 
people.”’ 
If you have a cottage to rent, or rooms, 
or want boarders, advertise the fact in 
the Breeze. It costs but 15 cents a 
week after the first week, which costs 
25 cents. “The paper reaches many of

“FOR THE WELFARE OF MAGNOLIA " 
Discussed in the People’s Forum last Sunday Evening by the Pastor of the 
Magnolia Church, Rev. F. J. Libby 
(Revised for the BREEzE by the Speaker) 
Speaking from the text, ““Seek ye 
first the kingdom of God,’’ Mr. Libby 
said that this is a summons to activity in 
the present and not in the future and in 
one’s own community and not in Utopia. 
For the people of Magnolia it means: 
Seek the common good in Magnolia and 
place that before private interest. In 
the long run the common welfare and 
private good are not antagonistic. The 
gain of all is the gain of each. But 
where the two seem to conflict, the duty 
of sacrifice for the larger good is clear. 
Honest Service for Fair Wages. 
‘Those who have visited certain sum- 
mer resorts of long standing will recall 
the disagreeable impression made upon 
them by the greed manifested on every 
hand. Every employee in the hotels, 
every store-keeper, every errand boy 
seemed to be imbued with the spirit of 
one squeezing the market to the limit of 
endurance. Magnolia is young yet. It 
has its future to make or unmake. A 
reputation for fair dealing on the part of 
its citizens, most of whom are employed 
by the summer residents in one capacity 
or another, will do more at present than 
any other one factor to advance its wel- 
fare. Honest Service for fair wages, 
should be the watchword. A greedy 
spirit is intolerable in rich or poor. 
Agree on a just compensation with your 
employer. In return for it give your 
best service. 
Increase Magnolia’s Natural Beauty. 
Second only to the character of its 
people in importance to the welfare of 
Magnolia is its natural beauty. The 
citizens of Magnolia are in duty bound 
to increase and by no act of theirs to 
diminish this beauty. Every. man who 
keeps a smooth-shaven lawn, every man 
who keeps his home neat and pretty is 
in so far a public benefactor. “The pub- 
lic dump must be out of sight. Streets 
must be kept free from paper and rub- 
bish. Barns should be painted. ‘Trees 
should be planted. “Iwo large advertis- 
ing signs have been set up during the 
past week by a Gloucester business man 
on the road between Magnolia and 
Gloucester. These and the three signs 
erected last summer on the same road by 
another party should be removed.. 
Our Improvement Society should at- 
tend to that. We must have a public 
opinion in favor of maintaining Magnolia 
in its beauty that will prevent all such en- 
croachments on the public interest. 
Enforce the Law. 
‘The third matter which must be men- 
tioned in this connection is law-observ- 
ance. [he common welfare requires 
that the citizens of a community consent 
to abide by the laws of the Common- 
wealth. No other policy can endure. 
-During the past three years we have 
winked at the violation of the liquor-law 
in Magnolia. ‘The result has been an 
increase in the number of places where 
liquor was sold illegally. If the policy 
of connivance be persisted in, Magnolia 
will become speedily a cheap town full 
of immorality and vice. Signs threaten- 
ing such degeneration are not wanting. 
We can have no favored law-breakers 
whether among those who board the 
chauffeurs or among those who board 
their employers. We must ask for 
impartial enforcement of the law. 
The only license granted in Magnolia is 
to one drug store and only in the drug 
store should liquor be sold. This licen- 
se permits the sale only for medicinal, 
mechanical or chemical purposes. We 
grant such permission for the common 
welfare. We can withdraw our per- 
mission if the common welfare demands 
such action or if the license is ever used 
to cover illegal sales. 
I believe that the steady pursuit of the 
policy outlined above will advance the 
welfare of Magnolia from every point of 
view, not forgetting its business interests. 
Vice is never anything else than a_para- 
site upon prosperity. Pandering to vice 
destroys him who is guilty of it, whether 
the sinner be an individual or a commu- 
nity. It does notpay. The best people 
will leave Magnolia as fast as the worst 
ones come. -Even men who use liquor 
do not want their sons and their servants 
to obtain it freely. Let us unite in seek- 
ing the common good. Let us seek the 
kingdom of God. - 
Carnival at Salem. 
“The annual spring carnival at Salem 
the past week has attracted crowds of 
people from all the North Shore towns. 
‘The big trades’ parade on Tuesday was 
a big drawing card and the excellent in- 
ducements offered all the week by the 
merchants have attracted many purchas- 
ers from this section.
