and the other Mr. Taft’s address be- 
fore the United Daughters of the 
Confederacy. 
_ These seemingly insignificant inci- 
dents are indicative of the great 
strides which have been made in the 
cause of free and popular govern- 
ment. A great nation has changed 
its rulers silently and without resort 
to arms or bloodshed and the van- 
quished has maintained a feeling of 
friendliness and good will. Mr. 
Taft’s interpretation of Mr. Wilson’s 
success as a candidate is that Mr. 
- Wilson’s election will do more to give 
the South a sense of interest and pro- 
tection in our government than has 
been possible since the Civil War. 
_ Every American should rejoice in the 
progress we are making in the art of 
government. 
Tue TurkisH SITUATION. 
The four Balkan allies are fighting 
for freedom and it looks as if a ‘fourth 
of July” for eastern nations was not 
far hence. The fall of Constanti- 
-nople will make a massacre almost 
_ inevitable but some European plan of 
_ intervention will be found first. War 
is barbaric but would Turkey ever 
make concessions without duress? 
Everyone believes in international 
peace but disarmament does not mean 
_ peace! The fight in Turkey recalls 
that the term “jingoism” originated 
during the difficulties in Turkey in 
1877-8. 
“We don’t want to fight; but, by 
jingo, if we do, We've got the ships, 
_ we've got the men, we've got the 
_ money, too.” 
It looks as if there would be a new 
“Congress of Berlin.” 
: The real danger in the Balkan difh- 
culty is the unseen danger between 
the larger powers. The situation in 
_ ‘'furkey is more serious than appears. 
It will be well to watch the great 
Powers as well as the Balkan allies.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
President Taft’s Thanksgiving 
Proclamation does not lack fervor or 
reverence despite the tragedy of Tues- 
day. 
Fire Prevention Day was a valuable 
suggestion. Did you examine your 
property for fire traps and fire dan- 
gers? 
The city of Beverly and the city of 
“Salem need a new bridge and the 
sooner it can be built the better. 
It is a pity T. R. did not adopt his 
program of silence on Jan. I, 1912, 
instead of Nov. 13.

Don, THE TaLKINC Doc From GEr- 
MANY Av B. F. Kerru’s. 
Without question the most notable 
novelty ever brought to this country 
by Mr. B. F. Keith for his vaude- 
ville circuit will be seen at B. F. 
Keith’s theatre in Boston this week, in 
“Don,” the marvellous talking dog 
from Germany. Unlike the other so- 
called “talking” animals previously 
seen upon the stage, “Don” actually 
speaks words like a human being. He 
is without a doubt the canine phen- 
omenon of the twentieth century. 
“Don” is a German hunting dog, the 
property of one of the game keepers 
in the imperial forests at Berlin. He 
is about eight years old and rather cor- 
13 
pulent for his age. Before coming to 
this country he was the talk of all 
Germany and Russia, where he broke 
box office records in every music hall 
where he appeared. Another big fea- 
ture of the week will be the Great Fil- 
lis family, Europe’s most finished 
troupe of equestrians, who appear in 
a startling novelty introducing sev- 
eral beautiful blooded horses.
