To Avert STRIKES in 1914 the State Board of Con- 
ciliation has begun early. A pioneer pamphlet has been 
issued calling the attention of employers and employees 
to the fact, “that during strikes or lockouts each party 
engaged in a controversy endeavors to win public sen- 
timent for his side to the end that its moral support may 
help him in sustaining his contention. In 1914 the parties 
should make every effort to consider public welfare be- 
fore the strike or lockout, If public sentiment is of 
value after a strike or lockout, it surely should be re- 
spected before either takes place.” ‘The commission is 
trying to lock the door before the horse is stolen. A 
campaign of education before a strike will mean a sav- 
ing of thousands of dollars to employers and suffering 
to dependent workers and a neutral public. Massachu- 
setts is still in the lead by virtue of its humanitarian 
legislation.

THE INAucuRATION at the State House was one 
of unusual interest this year because of the triumph of the 
Democratic slate. The old halls were crowded with en- 
thusiastic politicians and citizens interested in public 
affairs. The governor’s address was carefully written 
and its non-partisan spirit was commendable. Governor 
Walsh adroitly conceded to the workers for women’s 
suffrage a place in the message, but the words were 
few and artfully written; even an anti-suffragist would 
willingly permit a public vote upon the issue. The in- 
coming executive has an admirable opportunity. He is 
no longer the leader of the Democratic party. In pol- 
itics and opinions he may be a Democrat but he is the 
Governor of the whole State and as such entitled to 
the respect and support of the state. 
Tur Approva by the State Board of Manchester’s 
sewage plans indicate progress. Now the way is clear 
and an important part of the work cared for. Manches- 
ter has a carefully planned sewage system on paper. It 
will not be long before it is a realized asset of the town. 
THE “Go to CHurcH SunpAy CAMPAIGN” was first 
inaugurated in Beverly on the North Shore and now it 
has circled the State and come back to the North Shore 
again, 
WirtH A seventy-two mile an hour gale blowing it

Tuer Decision by the highest court in Massachu- 
setts in the recent move of the N. Y., N, H, and H. R. 
R. to increase its outstanding obligations by a new is- 
sue of $67,000,000 was not unexpected. When the issue 
was authorized by the State Commission thére was a 
strong minority report that was apparently convincing, 
despite the majority vote in favor. 
have rendered the decision. Every stockholder should 
rejoice, for it leaves their holdings unimpaired by ob- 
ligations taking precedence to their holdings. It is evi- 
dent that the troubles of the railroad are not over, but © 
before long an optimistic turn should be forthcoming. 
AN ENTERPRISING and humanitarian manufacturer 
placing upon the market a mechanical contrivance in ~ 
great demand has put into effect a minimum wage scheme 
for his employees of five dollars per day. It is evident 
that there must be money in the manufacture of. such 
an article. The public ultimately pays the price what- 
ever the business may be. For the good of the men em- 
ployed may it be hoped that the bubble will not burst. 
Necoriations Arg PENDING between our govern- 
ment and Columbia for an indemnity to be paid by our 
government for the losses incident to our Panama policy. 
This old question constantly bobs up. Columbia has-a 
good case. ‘The sooner Columbia is paid off the better 
it will be for all concerned. 
THREE NEIGHBORING MUNICIPALITIES are consider- 
ing measures to prohibit the dancing of modern objec- 
tional dances. It is not unlikely that before summer 
has arrived these measures will have become law. Wins- 
ton Churchill claims these dances are symptoms of so- 
cial disease. _The law will try a cure. 
HARVARD AND TECHNOLOGY are not only on the same 
side of the river but their engineering departments are 
now under the same management. The decision to 
co-ordinate the scientific school of Harvard with its 
great sister institution was a wise one, : 
WHEN rT Comes to weather what a time the Shore 
has had! Monday’s rushing wind and Tuesday’s bit- 
ter cold left nothing to be said about the coming of 
winter. Old Borealis arrived with a vengeance. 
In 1913 only $65,805 more were expended than the 
preceding year iby the city of Beverly. The year 1912 
showed an increase of over $668,344. This is economy.

Boston Went “Yes” as usual. What a commotion
