The week-end sojourn of former 
President Taft at Pride’s Crossing 
was his first real visit to the North 
Shore’ since he left the presidential 
chair. Now he is plain Professor 
William Howard Taft and his recent 
visit noticeably lacked the stir which 
accompanied his former visits to Bev- 
erly. This fact is evidence of that 
characteristic attitude of the Amer- 
ican public, which shows regard 
rather for the office than the indivi- 
dual who fills it. Years of public ser- 
vice fade into insignificance as the in- 
dividual passes into the comparative 
obscurity of private life. Yet, but a 
few short years ago, there were in- 
dividuals foolish enough to believe 
that the hero worship of the Amert- 
can people would some day let an am- 
bitious President make himself Dic- 
tator. The quick loss of interest in 
the individual when separated from 
his office shows how groundless are 
such fears.

Being born on the 29th of February 
has its advantages as well as disad- 
vantages. In childhood, the parties 
and gifts incident to the birthday may 
be missed, but think what a thrill of | 
satisfaction it must give a demure 
“miss” of 40-odd years to be able to- 
truthfully say, “I have yet to observe 
my 20th birthday.”

Although there are yet ten months 
of the year left it is wise to caution 
the young ladies that there will not be 
another Leap Year until 1920. Four 
years is sometimes a long time.

Not since February 1893 has there 
been so heavy a fall of snow as there 
was last month. February, 1916, was 
a record breaker in that respect al- 
though the average temperature was 
above that of the corresponding 
month of a number of years back. 
Perhaps the credit for the heavy snow 
fall this year might be given to the 
democratic administration when it is 
recalled also that 1893 was a demo- 
cratic year. The only trouble with 
that recollection is that in 1893 the 
democrats did not go into power un- 
til March. Perhaps the heavy snow- 
fall this year in February is in pro- 
phecy of a return to a republican ad- 
ministration. “Here’s hoping!”

There is a growing belief on the 
part of permanent residents of the 
North Shore, who are familiar with 
the signs, that the coming summer 
will be a “hummer” in many ways. 
3ig crowds, an early start of the sea- 
son and many novelties in the way of 
amusements are prophesied by those 
who, should know. 
provements in the buildings along the 
North Shore indicate that some‘of the 
spring prophets have faith in the ful-_ 
filment of their expectations.

Before they have time to forget 
their good time: at the mid-winter 
meeting and dinner, President Ather- 
ton is reminding the~menbers of’ the 
Essex County Press club of the next 
gathering of ‘the’ club. - It will be held 
at the Merrimac-'Country club at 
Methuen on‘ Friday, June 16,’ and 
will take the form of a lawn-fete— 
whatever ‘that is. . The members of 
the Essex ‘County Press club are not 
strong’ for’ “cttt and dried” speech- 
making,’ They want life and enthus- 
iasm at their gatherings and for that 
reason there is no toast list, but the 
speeches are snappier and brighter 
than the: general run of laborious ef- 
forts by Speakers at other banquets. 
In proof of: which there.is the classic 
of Henry Sullivan of the Salem News 
at the last affair.
