Seven Times One Is Seven. 
‘I’ve said my ‘seven times’ over 
and over, 
Seven times one are seven.”’ 
The ‘‘Breeze’’ is also seven and 
Jean Ingelow’s lines from the poem 
come to mind. Seven times one is 
seven! ‘‘QOne’’ means fifty-two 
with the ‘‘Breeze,’’ and it is seven 
times fifty-two which records our 
real age. When Benjamin Franklin, 
a struggling young printer, made 
his entrance into Philadelphia, his- 
tory —and history never prevari- 
cates — writes that he walked 
through her then rural streets with 
a roll of wheat-bread under each 
arm. Seven years ago all the manu- 
seript for the ‘‘Breeze’’ went out of 
town under the arm of the editor 
to a print shop in a _ neighboring 
city... Today-, thd, “f Breezey’ 7 18 
printed in town and operates its own 
plant. Surely Seven Times One is 
Seven. There has been progress! 
Memorial Day. 
For Memorial Day ag a national 
holiday we are in everlasting grati- 
tude to the Grand Army of the Re- 
public. A noble purpose inspired 
their successful appeal for a na- 
tional day to honor the memory of 
the soldier dead. 
of devotion which inspired them to 
lay aside the affairs of peace for the 
ways of war impelled them to work 
for the establishment of the day as 
a ‘‘memorial day’’ that all men in 
all generations might pause from

strong motives will endure as long 
as the republic endures. 
The Grand Army of the Republe 
has ever been imbued with the 
truest sense of patriotism and will 
never be content to allow this day 
to descend to one of fulsome flattery 
and brazen-faced praise. The na- 
tio owes an unpayable debt to the 
citizen soldiery of the Civil War. 
They ean never be forgotten. 
Mr. Cobb has painted a canvas 
called, ‘‘The Last Comrade’s Final 
Tribute.’? An apotheosis of the 
Grand Army is represented with 
thousands of comrades and with 
them the martyred President. 
Above a rainbow of peace spans the 
heavens. An aged comrade, the last 
of the soldier heroes, is seen laying 
flowers for the last time on a com- 
rade’s grave. It is only a dream in 
oil, but it is a propheey and as time 
gathers its sheaf of soldiers year by 
year the time eannot be long hence 
when the last of that conflict will 
have passed on. 
But the day must remain. The 
loving tasks which they do annually 
will be done by the children of un- 
born generations. The good will of 
the citizens of our great republic is 
with them in persistent effort to pre- 
serve the day from desecration by 
secular work and profane trecrea- 
tion. 
The Campaign for Governor. 
The political situation in Massa- 
chusetts can be summarized in one 
word,—unsettled. The Democratic 
nominee will unquestionably be Mr. 
Foss the present incumbent. Is is 
considered to be the policy of the 
regular Republican machine to nom- 
inate, according tg the custom, the 
lieutenant governor, Louis A. Froth- 
ingham. Here lies the mystery! 
What is on foot? 
The passage of the general pri- 
mary bill by the Senate, if it becomes 
a law by the Governor’s signature, 
opens the way for a contest for the 
nomination. It is known that Mr. 
Walker, Mr. White and Mr. Luce 
have been favorably mentioned for 
the nomination. There is a move- 
ment on foot requesting Norman 
White to enter the contest and if he 
enters it is evident that the whole 
party, at a caucus, according to the 
provisions of the new primary law,

SCHOOL AND UNION STS., MANCHESTER 
if it be passed, will have an oppor- 
tunity to decide whether the nomin- 
ation will be given to Mr. Frothing- 
ham or to Mr. White. The Republi- 
ean organization will keep its pledge 
to Mr. Frothingham but it is an 
open question whether in the open 
primary he will be able to win. At 
the last election his votes gained for 
him the place of Lieutenant Gov- 
ernor. Only the future can tell 
whether he can win against Gov- 
ernor Foss in the contest for the 
head of the ticket. 
American Patriotism for Aliens. 
America does well to pride herself 
upon the foresight and determina- 
tion of our forefathers who settled 
along the rock-ribbed coast of 
Massachusetts and eked out a pre- 
earious livelihood in the unbroken 
woods. If we honor them and the 
spirit with which they embarked for 
a new land we must lkewise pay a 
tribute of respect to the aliens of 
other generations who have sought 
liberty on our shores. Some do not 
come with high ideals, for our na- 
tional pohey still keeps the door 
open to all. The real problem of im- 
migration is not economic, This is 
the least of the problem involved. 
President Eliot has a clear head 
and a skilful pen, but we cannot but 
dissent from the position he has 
taken. The position of the Senator 
Cabot 
practical 
Henry 
the 
from Massachusetts, 
Lodge, appeals to 
sense of all concerned. 
The heart of man may go out with 
the deepest sympathy to all who 
come and the impulse is to open the 
door wide. But sympathy must be 
tempered by reason. 
The real problem is one of assim- 
ilation. The United States cannot 
afford to saerifice its high ideals of 
self-government by unlimited immi- 
eration. Our national ideals must 
be maintained by instilling into the 
lives of those who have come from 
foreign strands, the same principles 
which have inspired the generations 
which made our free. government 
possible. 
Open the door to the alien as wide 
as possible but close it at the point 
of danger. America will then be 
able to welcome men from the ends 
of the earth requiring not ‘only a 
verbal pledge of allegiance to our 
flag and all that it represents but a 
surety of economic independence 
and national loyalty. Here the
