and Magnolia to have the bill for a 
tractor for the new steamer at Bev- 
erly Farms pass the Board of Alder- 
men. In the event of a tractor be 
ing purchased, the steamer will be 
available for service in ten minutes 
time from Manchester, fifteen min- 
utes time from Beverly and twen- 
ty minutes time from Magnolia. 
It will be to the best interests of the 
North Shore to have Mr. Loring’s 
bill pass. 
The anti-fly campaign in Man- 
chester, Magnolia and _ Beverly 
Farms inaugurated early in the sea- 
son and prosecuted with such vigor 
has revealed the good of the work. 
The campaign was not so great. as in 
Washington, where 20,000,000 flies 
were killed by the children, but the 
work has been well done under the 
direction of Health Boards and In-. 
provement Societies. 
The diocean council of Massachu- 
setts is rendering incalculable ser- 
vice to the present generation 
and to posterity in sanely renovat- 
ing and preserving the historic old 
North Church, the Paul Revere 
Church, in Boston. Only good for- 
tune, not good care has spared the 
old church from the flames. 
The splendid exhibit of North 
Shore children of their own garden- 
grown produce and flowers reveals 
the splendid educational value of 
the school gardens. The school gar- 
dens in Manchester and Beverly 
Farms never were better. 
Community building should be a 
science and not left to chance and 
disorder. The North Shore has 
failed much in this way. You are 
interested in your business but look 
about and ask what your business 
means to the Town? Does it build 
or destroy? 
Efforde’, ‘‘dig’’ was the lucky 
charm hat brought a fortune to one 
of Hawthorne’s heroes but the Al 
berta farmer that dug up a million 
dollar asphaltum bed on his land 
grant repeats in fact what would 
be strange as fiction. 
Some wide awake, well informed 
organization should issue a small 
pamphlet guide to the North Shore 
showing the places of historic inter- 
est and local fame. 
The interest of Manchester folk 
in the interesting store of the In- 
dustrial School for Crippled Chil- 
dren is gratifying.

The schools have opened again 
and, Shakespeare to the contrary, 
thousands of happy children, ambi- 
tious boys and girls, and enterpris- 
ing young men and young women 
have begun their labor with their 
books. Oh happy days are these, 
and wise are the lads or lassies who 
apply themselves with diligence and 
fervor to the tasks and opporotuni- 
ties at their hands. Wise is the par- 
ent that will sacrifice for an ambi- 
tious boy or a studious daughter. 
The spirited way in which two of 
the negro lawyers wired their resig- 
nations of membership after the con- 
test in the American Bar Associa- 
tion left nothing to be desired. Aft- 
er Mr. Lewis has been vindicated 
by election he will doubtless follow 
suit. Who wants to belong where 
he is not welcome? 
The ‘‘recall’’ has not proven an 
unmixed blessing. For it has placed 
a weapon in the hands of evil men 
to harass a good man. What is to 
hinder an unthinking populace be- 
ing influenced by evil men from re- 
calling a good man in office. This 
very embarrassment has risen in the 
west. 
The yellow newspapers of the 
country are cutting a considerable 
figure in the presidential campaign 
this year, and the parties are furnish- 
ing their writers plenty of material 
upon which to work. 
The martial complications in Nic- 
araugua do not have half the dan- 
gers that might be lurking in the in- 
cident if we did not have so safe, 
tactful and peaceable a President. 
A plain pine coffin, ordered by 
General Booth to be used at his fun-

humanitarian instincts of the great 
leader to the grave. 
Any business enterprise which 
fails to contribute to the personal or 
social well being of the residents of 
the shore violates the laws of com- 
munity building.

CONG. GARDNER REPLIES TO 
SENATOR SCHOFIELD 
Hamilton, Mass., 
September 4, 1912. 
Hon. George A. Schofield, 
Editor of the Ipswich Chronicle, * 
Ipswich, Mass. 
My Dear Sir :— 
A few weeks ago in your paper you 
accused me of hiring workers to help 
Mr. Crowley in his candidacy against 
you. J denied it and offered you $25 
per head for each worker you could 
show up. In your next issue you 
shuffled and shifted and insinuated 
that I was lying. Thereupon, I of- 
fered you $250 to pay for an inves- 
tigation of your own charges. 
In your last number you again 
shuffle and shift and you babble a 
long rigmarole composed of the 
hodge-podge of ordinary political 
gossip. You say that ‘‘a prominent 
Haverhill Republican’’ informed you 
that my friends in that city were try- 
ing to get a candidate against you. 
Who was the man who gave you that 
interesting misinformation? Name 
him! What Haverhill Democrat were 
my friends trying to get? You speak 
of secret meetings in Salem about the 
first week in July. I never heard of 
any. Who told you of them? When 
and where did they take place? Who 
were present? 
Now, Senator Schofield, what are 
you trying to insinuate by this sur- 
feit of slurs? Are you trying to in- 
sinuate that I directly or indirectly 
encouraged or aided Mr. Crowley to 
become a candidate against you? 
Your words seem to bear that con- 
struction. If that is what you mean, 
blurt it out like a man. Don’t in- 
sinuate it any more. If that is not 
what you mean, what the Dickens is 
it that you do mean? 
One subject at a time. . When you 
have cleared up this matter, I shall 
take up the rest of the question raised 
in your public letter to me. 
Yours truly, 
Augustus P. Gardner. 
The investigators who have been 
uncovering the good cash which 
Lieutenant Becker had saved from 
his graft have done a fine turn for 
Becker’s lawyers. It is not to be 
imagined for a minute that they will 
leave any of it for him. 
Saturday the Boy Scouts returned 
from their camping trip in New 
Hampshire, where they have been 
spending two weeks. The boys have 
all acquired a healthy tan that tells 
the story of their out-of-door life in 
eamp.
