For NINETEEN SuccessivE Days New England has 
now been held in the grip of a spell of weather. Lovers 
and wishers for a “good old-fashioned winter” have had 
their heart’s desire abundantly satisfied. Compared with 
the normal temperatures for the season, the spell of 
weather has shown the remarkable deficiency of one 
hundred and ninety degrees, an average of ten degrees 
a day. The expense of the storms and cold weather 
is incalculable, but there must be a measure of ex- 
pense. A city near-by has expended more for the re- 
moval of snow and ice during the first three weeks of 
February than during the previous three years. ‘The 
recent articles on the changes of the climate in this 
vicinity, owing to the changes of the direction of the 
gulf stream, is uninteresting reading now. It is difficult 
to see that any remarkable change has taken place in 
the climate of the coast of New England. 
Tur Art Museum of the City of Boston still coné 
tinues its great educational work, The interesting Day 
of Nations planned and so carefully executed on Wash-.- 
ington’s birthday was a triumph. It is unfortunate that 
a state appropriation has never been accorded the in- 
stitution. In view of its large public interests the ap- 
peal which it makes for funds ought to be generously 
responded to, 
It Is BEcominc APPARENT that the new trustees 
of the Boston & Maine will have from two to two and 
half years to adjust the railroad difficulties. The aim 
of the national government is to have the task com- 
pleted during the present administration. The sooner 
the affairs of the railroad can be settled the better it will 
be for all concerned. 
THERE OucH’T To BE a law prohibiting newspapers 
from airing in its columns the details of trials involv- 
ing domestic difficulties. There is assuredly a way by 
which the news of court proceedings can be censored 
without in any way infringing upon the liberties of the 
press. 
THe New <Acricunrurat, Scoot in Danvers is 
progressing in its work. It has a great future before it. 
The institution will be able to provide a course of study 
that will train young men in the peculiar form of horti- 
culture that the coast line in its district demands, as well 
as in the usual lines of horticulture. 
An INTERESTING Suit has been brought by an ine 
dividual against a certain woman’s club that involves a 
question of ethics as well as equity. Funds were raised 
by the organization for a building project. The pro- 
ject was abandoned, ‘The funds are now demanded by 
the treasurer to be used for club purposes and presum- 
ably to be voted as the organization desires.

building plang or return the money to the subscribers.

culties of which he is aware that have not reached the ~ 
newspapers. 
It is a self-evident truth that President — 
Wilson is a better judge of what should be done by | 
our government than the most versatile. war corres- 
pondent the press syndicate can employ, ‘The general 
on the hill ordering a battle knows more of its real — 
movements than a petty officer in the field fight. 
Tur Acourra, of Lieutenant Becker will be a 
triumph of justice in New York if he be guiltless of the 
alleged complicity. He has been accorded a new trial 
by the highest tribunal in that state. It is asserted that 
Becker did not receive a fair trial. Whatever one’s 
opinions and prejudices may be against Becker in these 
days of ethical pretences justice demands that every 
man accused of crime be accorded a fair and unpreju- 
diced trial. 
Tue Procressives ought not to name a new can- 
didate to contest for the governorship. It is time for 
a union of forces. If the progressive republicans and 
the conservative republicans will unite in naming a man 
the present incumbent will have a harder contest on — 
his hands than he had last year. 
THe EMPLOYMENT oF WomeEN to protect young 
girls and women is now becoming an efficient depart- 
ment of city police work. The principles involved are 
so fundamental it is to be regretted that the employ- 
ment of women has been so long delayed. 
THE SALE OF the $5,000 automobile for $800 which 
had been used by a former mayor of the city is a strik- 
ing illustration of the depreciation in values of gasoline 
conveyances.

that Hebrew money was used to equip the expedition 
of Christopher Columbus.
