VOLUME 5. NuMBER 50 
The results of the elections in Boston 
and eighteen other cities inthe common- 
wealth on Tuesday were not without 
significance and furnishes food for much 
‘thought. Most of all it evidenced the 
fact that the independent voter is 
“setting busy’’ in elections and shows 
that the people are taking a greater in- 
terest-in municipal affairs. In Boston 
the Finance Commission and the In- 
dependence League have operated to 
bring victory to the forces of good gov- 
ernment and it may be that the awaken- 
ing brought about by these two agencies 
in combination may have had some in- 
fluence in the other cities.. Thirteen 
out of eighteen cities voted no license, 
a gain of two over last year, a feature 
which may well attract much attention, 
and the fact that not one of the nineteen 
cities elected a candidate ofthe Democrat- 
ic party for mayor will cause many to sit 
up and think. Even though this is nut con- 
sidered a rebuke to the party as an organ- 
ization, it is a finger of suspicion pointed 
at some who wear the mantle «cf the 
party. Asa whole these nineteen cities 
have given evidence that the’ independ- 
ent voter has become a real factor in 
elections; that the cities are yet capable 
of self government when the lethargic 
voter awakens to the true conditions and 
his duties as a citizen; and that the com- 
bined results of these nineteen municip- 
alities, which are a large part of the gen- 
eral problem of the state, means much 
tothe Commonwealth. se eee 
Ninety-six barrooms in Lynn put out 
of business and no less than four hun- 
dred bar tenders out of a job—and some 
“‘ temperance’ people will have ‘‘store 
to let’’ \signs in their vacant shops. 
Too bad! 
We are reading every day of clergy- 
men and others making strenuous pro- 
tests against the omission of the motto 
“In God We Trust’’ from the new 
coins, but to every person who raises an 
objection there are ten who would like 
to know who would trust them without 
the coin. As for ourselves—if we could 
get the coins we think ‘“ Welcome’”’ 
would be an appropriate motto. 
WHIT TIER. 
(For the Breeze.) 
A Puritan heart within a Quaker breast, 
A conscience true to Virtue’s high behest. 
For human rights a Champion bold, severe, 
Unmoved by scorn or threat or frown or jeer,— 
The Singer of his day, its Sage and Seer, 
Who on the Eternal Goodness dared to rest. 
—JosePH A. Torrey. 
THAT STRIDENT HORN. 
(For the BREEzE. ) 
O Strident Horn on Baker’s! 
Your blast is passing loud, 
To-wake the North Shore poets 
Of whom our land is proud; 
To rouse that noble longing 
That snuggles in the breast 
Of the select, four hundred, 
Crying aloud for rest. 
O Strident Horn on Baker's! 
When summer breezes sigh, 
And gentle are the billows, — 
Though fogs obscure the sky,— 
When the four hundred listen 
And you are told to groan, 
Pray learn, for such conditions, 
A low melodious tone. 
But when the wild north-easter 
Is raging fierce as h—I, 
When the select have left us, 
With no one near to tell, 
Then, mid the winter tempest 
Of wind, and wave, and snow, 
Just throw your throttle open 
And let your tooter go.

Reth Beaton. 
Miss Ruth Beaton, only daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. James Beaton of Man- 
chester, passed away late Wednesday 
afternoon, at the age of 16 years, 10 
months, 8 days. She died of diabetes. 
The news of Miss Beaton’s death was 
a shock to her many friends. “Though 
the seriousness of her illness for the past 
few years was known, very few knew of 
the sudden attack the night before her 
death. In fact she had been about as 
usual until the very day before she passed 
away. 
Miss Beaton was born Feb. 3, 1891, 
in Hudson, Mass., -where she lived until 
-her parents‘moved here-nine years ago. ~ 
She attended the Grammar School and 
entered the High school in the class of 
1909, but was taken ill after she had 
been there a short while, necessitating 
her leaving school. 
The nature of her disease was such 
that no hopes for her complete recovery 
were held. 
Funeral services were held yesterday 
afternoon at the Crowell Memorial 
chapel at 2.15. Rev. E. Hersey Brews- 
ter officiated. The chapel was filled by 
the friends of the deceased young wom- 
an, neighbors and relatives. | 
Mr. Brewster spoke most touchingly 
of the loss. The esteem in which the 
young woman was held was attested by 
the large number of beautiful flowers, 
among them being a crescent from her 
Sunday School class and High School 
friends. 
MANCHESTER 
The entertainment given in the chape 
last night nnder the auspices of the P 
Alpha Phi boys attracted a good-sized 
audience. The feature of the evening 
was a very clever entertainment by Ray 
Newton, the boy magician, who showed 
great ability in his tricks and won the 
admiration of his audience. Besides 
Mr. Newton’s act there were piano 
solos by Samuel Rowe and_ Robert 
Allen, and a duet, with violin “and 
piano, by Allan McKinnon and Roland 
Knight, respectively. 
The Ladies’ Social circle will meet 
Wednesday, Dec. 18, with Mrs. David 
Bennett, Bridge sreet. 
A daughter was born Sunday, Dec, 8, 
to Mr. and Mrs. John Weir, School 
street. 
He has the only Legal Deed. 
I see in the issue of Nov. 16 the 
transfer of a piece of land on Summer 
street to Thomas D. Widger of Man- 
chester. In 1892 the late Wm. E. Kit- 
field gave me.a warranty deed for said 
piece of land. The deed was drawn by 
Justice of Peace J..F. Rabardy, of Man- 
chester, and is the only legal deed. for 
said piece of land in existence.
