That Congressional Bee 
While we may be away ahead of 
time in springing anything about the 
congressional election, which, no 
doubt, will be the next thing to in- 
terest us here in this section, politi- 
cally, we may not be far amiss in giv- 
ing brief mention to it at this time. 
Those back of George A. Schofield 
_ have already started in to inoculate 
him with the congressional bee with 
the idea of having him run against 
Congressman Gardner next year, and 
they already report signs that the 
bacilli has got into his blood. He 
will be told that it is as easy to defeat 
Gardner as it was to beat Shaw, and 
that all he needs is to watch his 
fences and do a little something now 
and then to tide things along. There 
is no doubt that if he enters he will 
be a serious candidate against Gard- 
ner and one not to be discounted. 
The danger is not so much in the 
election but in the campaign which 
will precede it. It will help to make 
bad blood all over Essex county. The 
defeat of Shaw has helped to bring 
that about and it will cause trouble of 
all sorts within the county lines. 
Personally Mr. Shaw exonerates the 
congressman from any hand in his de- 
feat and he is sincere in this state- 
ment. But he thinks, and no doubt 
probably, that certain of the Gardner 
men deliberately allowed the Scho- 
field vote to run up. Shaw fails to 
understand how the town of Essex 
got away from Mr. Lufkin, who is 
Gardner’s secretary, and .the vote in 
Charlie Brown’s home district in 
Gloucester was not _ satisfactory. 
Now, next fall it may happen that 
even though Shaw, as is likely, should 
come out and do all in his power to 
help Gardner, he would find his people 
got away from him and went for Scho- 
field, just as the Gardner people broke 
away and went for Schofield in the 
senatorial election. A strong mas- 
terly hand is needed in Essex county 
more than ever now, and the trouble 
is that there does not seem to be any- 
one who has just the proper grip 
under the circumstances. 
The Moth War 
These are busy days along the 
North Shore—at Manchester, Beverly 
and Magnolia — for the moth hunters. 
More than 500 men are now destroy- 
ing the poisonous brown-tail moths in 
eastern Massachusetts. This small 
army is composed of town and city 
forces working under the direction of 
tree wardens and local moth superin- 
tendents. The following instructions 
have been sent out from the Boston 
office of the State superintendent of 
moth work to these local officials : 
‘“‘In carrying out the provisions of 
the law in regard to the brown-tail 
moth, trees on streets, parks and com- 
mons must, of course, be cleared. All 
thickly settled residential districts 
must be cleared through their entire 
extent by getting property owners to 
do as effective work on their lands as 
the town or city does on the street 
trees — this to do away with the dan- 
ger of poisoning next summer. Or- 
chards, as well as yards, must be pro- 
tected by owners. Where woodlands 
adjoin dwelling houses, an effort should 
be made by the owner to clear a zone 
of safety at least 100 feet wide around 
his property for his own protection.” 
The above instructions should be 
heeded by citizens generally, espe- 
cially along the North Shore, for it is 
only by enlisting into a great anti- 
moth army the two million inhabitants 
of the moth-infested district of Mas- 
sachusetts that success can be won in 
the war against the pest. 
The members of the Danvers Busi- 
ness Men’s association have agreed 
not to advertise in cook books, pro- 
grammes, dance orders and other 
media of like character, excepting 
newspapers or other established pub- 
lications having a regular, paid circul- 
ation ; and not to donate any mer- 
chandise to fairs, carnivals, festivals 
or similar entertainments. — Danvers

They can thank their lucky stars 
they aren’t in Manchester, or any- 
where else along the North Shore in 
the summer, where they would be 
given an opportunity to proclaim what 
they have “agreed” two or three 
times a week. 
Sunday marked the seventh anni- 
versary of the terrible storm of Nov. 
26, 1898, when untold damage was 
done along the coast and when among 
other marine disasters, the steamer 
Portland, plying between Boston and 
Portland, Me., was lost with all on 
board. The greatest possible contrast 
was noticeable between the weather 
of Jast Sunday and that which pre-~ 
vailed during the great storm, this 
year being mild and pleasant, while 
seven years ago the climatic condi- 
tions were well nigh appalling. 
A Good Resolution 
When the snow is deep, 
And your’r asleep, 
And you hear the whistle’s blast, 
And the engine’s gong, 
As it bowls along, 
Yourise and dress so fast; 
*Tis then you sigh 
At that lurid sky, 
As you hasten down the street, 
And you say once more 
I will insure 
Before again I sleep. 
Why not?

Brown-tail Parasites 
The first brown-tail moth parasites, 
150 pounds of minute Hymenoptera 
flies in an embryonic stage, which ar- 
rived in Boston last Friday, sent from 
Europe by Miss Marie Ruhl of Zurich, 
were shipped to North Saugus the 
first of the week, where they will be 
stored for awhile in the parasite sta- 
tion, and then distributed to be tested. 
Dr. Howard feels positive that they 
will do all the work expected of them, 
and it is probable that a request will 
be sent to Europe to have more 
shipped here. 
This species of fly is new to this 
country, and their introduction will be 
more of an experiment than anything 
else.
