Our Brrrapay — Next WEEK. 
The coming week marks the an- 
niversary of the birth of the BREEZE. 
It was on May 21, 1904,—seven years 
ago next Sunday 
of the paper appeared. In our next 
issue, May 26th we will make some 
simple observance of this event. 
THE WEEK. 
The past week has been an im- 
portant one nationally and locally. It 
is infrequent when so many matters 
of public importance have been de- 
cided within a week. The United 
States Supreme Court decisions on 
labor and boy-cotting, railroad safety 
appliances, the Indian Land entry- 
man rights and the long awaited 
Standard Oil Bill are epoch-making. 
The State legislature passed by an al- 
most unprecedented vote of 207 to 
15, a primary bill for state wide nom- 
inations. The bill will without a 
doubt pass the Senate. ‘The State 
Board of Health returned an adverse 
preliminary decision on the bill of 
Representative John L,. Saltonstall 
providing for the taking of water 
from Ipswich river, declaring that 
3everly and Salem may secure water 
without legislation, in case of an 
emergency from Beaver, Norwood 
and Chebacco Ponds. ‘The mayor 
and engineer made an adverse report 
on the new. steamer for Beverly 
Farms and the Board of Alderman 
appropriated $2800 to repair the old 
engine; $1000 was appropriated over 
the mayor’s veto for the playground

at Beverly Farms. ‘The commission 
for the new Public Library at Bev- 
erly was appointed and Miss Kather- 
ine A. Loring of Pride’s Crossing, 
was named as one of the three. The 
West Beach Corporation presented to 
the public its completed plans for the 
new bathing house and has made 
strides in the good will of the public. 
It has been an important week in 
local, state and national affairs. 
THE STANDARD Om, DEcISION. 
The decision of the United States 
Supreme Court on the Standard Oil 
Bill was epoch-making and no greater 
decision has been reached by this 
honored body since the great contests 
over the slave question. This de- 
cision will assure the present admin- 
istration an important place in the 
history of the country. The decision 
is a great victory of the people and 
forever settles the question of the 
power of government to restrain evil 
trusts. No harm is done such trusts 
as serve the people with honesty. 
Now the control of the immense fi- 
nancial enterprises over all is at an 
end. Legitimate business will  re- 
ceive an impulse and illegitimate en- 
terprise a set back. 
The decision is a master piece of 
judicial wisdom and while hard read- 
ing to the average citizen who wishes 
his knowledge in sugar-coated abbre- 
viated pellets because of the rush of 
affairs, if read, would be an educa- 
tion in itself. After the malignant 
truculent and condemnible muck-rake 
attacks on the corporation by hack- 
writers, the perusal of the decision of 
Supreme Court gives the mind a sense 
of reverence for the judicial wisdom 
of our Supreme Court that is inspir- 
ing. 
‘The taste of the public is constantly 
being debauched by wide guesses, the 
substituting of romance for fact and 
untruth for verity. One cannot but 
feel that the corps of staff writers of 
“modern ‘yellow’ magazines could 
learn much from the reading of this 
important document. 
‘The oil company cannot dare to 
trifle with the sentiment of the Amer- 
ican people to evade the decision of 
this great Court. Subterfuge and 
evasion can no longer continue and 
the giant corporation will live up to 
the letter of the decision if it can 
never do it with spirit. ‘The decision, 
practically unanimous, fore-shadows 
the result of the American Tobacco 
Bill. The air is now clear and the

business interests of the country 
ought to take on a new lease of life. 
THE, CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE FLy. 
The campaign against the fly was 
inaugurated at a meeting at a shore 
residence in Beverly Farms last fall. 
This season each provision dealer, 
grocer and pharmacist has been vis- 
ited in person by a representative of 
the organization and a copy of the 
instructive notice of the Florida 
Board of Health posted. General 
Wood of the United States army has 
acknowledged that the discovery by 
the medical profession that the mos- 
quito was the carrier of the typhoid 
germ has saved more to the world, 
from a purely economic point of 
view, than the Spanish American 
War cost the United States of 
America. The extermination of the 
house fly is a health necessity and if 
successful will result in a tremendous 
economic saving to the community. 
“The success of the campaign against 
fly borne disease is entirely dependent 
upon inspiring the general public with 
a wholesome fear of the fly and a 
horror of its filth covered body and 
bacteria laden legs.” When it is 
realized that one pair of flies will pro- 
duce two million offspring in one 
summer the necessity for an attack 
upon the nuisance early in the season 
is apparent. Stables and manure pits 
are breeding places. Dr. Blaisdell 
and the Manchester Board of Health 
has done effective work in providing 
screens for mature pits and protection 
against the contamination of fruit 
and other articles of food on sale in 
their town. The owners of property 
in Beverly Farms and Magnolia 
should at once make an effective pro- 
vision to prevent the fly nuisance of 
other years due entirely to the im- 
proper care of the manure pits. It is 
evident that the improvement society 
means business and what they can not 
accomplish by the good will of inter- 
ested citizens they can accomplish 
through the effective and strong arm 
of the law, the Board of Health. 
CuurcH Comiry. 
The element of division in the 
Protestant churches of America has 
been the cause of its weakness. ‘The 
spirit of the age is crystalizing rap- 
idly. The resolution passed by the 
North Essex Congregational Con- 
ference declaring that the construc-_ 
tion of an Episcopal church would be 
devisive and unnecessary has a double
