The 
The busiest day in the week on 
our Shore is Sunday. The obser- 
vance of the day as one for rest 
and worship is unnecessarily falling 
into disuse. The present conditions 
have developed so gradually that it 
has taken possession of the com- 
munities on the North Shore before 
they have become fully aware of its 
evil. The result has followed natur- 
ally from the week-end holiday and 
the postponement of petty affairs 
for consideration on Sunday at the 
shore. The telephone and the auto- 
mobile must share a portion of the 
blame. As the day is one in which 
the families may be united with no 
business cares in the eity to eall any 
member of the family away, the 
natural Sunday meal, a family re- 
union becomes a dinner party and 
another innocent custom ends in a 
function. The question of Sunday 
amusements and open air games 
seems to be a very small part of the 
problem. 
The present conditions rob many 
servants and business men of their 
legitimate Sabbath leisure and rest, 
and increases the burden of every 
North Shore ehureh. - The regular 
attendants are harassed in their 
business relations by demands upon 
their time at church hours and sum- 
mer servants do not attend because 
of the ‘‘busy day’’ in the ‘‘houses.”’ 
The question is an individual matter

and eannot be reached by law. Ev- 
ery householder can best solve the 
problem. Much good could be done 
by eliminating every business trans- 
action on the Sabbath which could - 
be eared for during the week and 
reducing unnecessary labor to the 
minimum. 
Gardeners can be relieved from 
their attention on Sunday morning 
by arranging their work on Satur- 
day afternoon. This same principle 
can be applied to every department 
of the estates. 
Several residents have already 
given their orders that the automo- 
bile will not be used for a ride on 
Sunday afternoon, not from any re- 
ligious principle, but because on 
that day the shore hums with sight- 
seeing ‘‘eraft’’ of every description 
and makes the afternoon less enjoy- 
able than other hours of the week. 
It affords the chauffeur his Sunday. 
This may be a plea for the ideal 
and smack somewhat of the Puri- 
tan, but the humanitarian argument 
underlying the whole problem ought 
to command the attention of all, if 
not convincingly. If such an ideal 
prevailed upon the shore the com- 
fort, rest and happiness which the 
day could bring would be increased 
many fold. 
Seeing the Light? 
It is hoped that Mayor Dodge 
will see the hght on the steamer 
question for Beverly Farms. His 
motives for economy are laudable 
and eannot be gainsaid, but he has 
placed his judgment upon second- 
hand information. He still main- 
tains that a repaired engine will do 
the work and that the new steamer 
is not an economical necessity. The 
Breeze honors the Mayor’s right in 
his opinion, but respectfully _ re- 
quests his Honor to make a personal 
examination of the situation. It 
ought not to require an expert’s 
judgment to realize the need. Will 
Ward Six ever be able to get any- 
thing? <A petition representing 
many millions of dollars has been 
presented to the Board and reflects 
public opinion accurately. The 
Mayor does not change his mind 
readily and it is feared that he may 
veto the order when it is laid before 
him. This, the Breeze believes, will 
be a serious error. There is the pos- 
sible chance that it can be passed 
over his veto, but the better, the 
eraceful, the right thing for him to

do is to pass the order with his own 
signature. 
Parcels Post. 
Post Master General Hitchcock 
will send the magazines and second 
class matter by a fast freight ser- 
vice. The magazines like this better 
than President Taft’s plan. This 
will help, but what the public de- 
sires is a thorough-going readjust- 
ment of postal arrangements with a 
provision for the parcels post. 
need has been evident for years. It 
has been successfully operated in 
foreign countries and can be equally 
successful in this country. There 
are only two good reasons why we — 
ean not have them. First the rail- 
roads do not believe in it, second the 
express companies will not agree to 
it. So we will continue to pay more 
to send a pareel to Chelsea than it 
would cost to send it to China. 
Heroism. 
The death of Dr. Emma W. 
Mooers of Harvard University, cur- 
ator of the neuro pathological de- 
partment, from an infection of a 
slight abrasion of her finger while 
assisting in a post mortem examina- 
tion of a ‘‘tonsilitis case’’ and the 
serious illness of Dr. Elmer HE. 
Southard from the same cause, indi- 
cate the public service of our medi- 
eal research students. The tragic 
death of this promising young pa- 
thologist, gives evidence to the un- 
thinking publie of the devotion and 
heroism of the experts of our hos- 
pitals and universities in their re- 
searches to help solve the ills of the 
human body. 
The assignment of a reserve of- 
ficer for duty, mounted on a bicycle 
to cover the territory from Beverly 
Cove to Pride’s Crossing and in the 
evening an extra Policeman to cover 
the Beverly Cove district are in the 
line of progress. The city now 
should furnish a regular policeman 
to do duty exelusively on West 
Beach. The request is not unrea- 
sonable and should be granted. 
The Manchester Trust Company 
has successfully met the competition 
of outside institutions for town 
loans. The transaction was doubly 
successful. The Town gains a lower 
rate and pays it to her own citizens, 
and it aids the development of a 
local enterprise.
