losers and sufferers, although it is 
unfair to judge all international 
marriages. Congressman Sabath of 
Illinois deems the matter so serious as 
to move a set of resolutions for the 
state department to ascertain the 
number of unhappy marriages, the 
amount of money annually expended 
in such “chases after coronets,’ why 
only twenty American peeresses are 
to participate in the coronation in 
London, and “to what extent our 
country is being benefited by this 
trade.” 
The mad rush for empty titles has 
made a certain type of American 
womanhood the laughing stock of 
Europe and the evil should be reme- 
died, but the state department of the 
great republic of the United States 
should be about better business than 
airing the unfelicitous weakness of its 
“coronet chasers.” 
WOOL, 
The National House Bill, known 
as the Underwood bill, provides for a 
revision of Schedule K. ‘The wool 
tariff has been injurious to every citi- 
zen in the country not interested in 
the wool business. ‘The woolen in- 
dustries do not like the new schedule. 
It is not to be expected. ‘The success 
of every industry in the land is of 
interest to all and to jeopardize the 
woolen industry would be a fatal er- 
ror: but the “infant industry” cer- 
tainly is old enough to share a larger 
part of the burdens incident to the 
revision provisions. It is the familiar 
principle, known in every walk of life, 
where the lesser, about five millions 
of people interested directly in wool 
raising and woolen manufacture, 
must make sacrifices for the good of 
the whole. Schedule K has been the 
source of contention and unrest for 
years and the Underwood Bill ought 
to mitigate many of the existent tar- 
iff evils in “K” if it be not all that 
the Republican party would wish. 
THE BEVERLY HOSPITAL 
The election of George H. Vose to 
the directorate of the Beverly Hos- 
pital will add “brains” to the already 
efficient administrative board of a 
successful philanthropic enterprise. 
The Beverly Hospital has earned an 
enviable reputation and is serving the 
North Shore with fidelity and intelli- 
gence. A good hospital is a great as- 
set and the Beverly Hospital, espec- 
ially since moving into its newly 
equipped home, has been a Good Sa- 
maritan among us. ‘The recent cam- 
paign for funds was successful but 
such an enterprise cannot be over- 
subscribed and it will always be a 
NORTH SHORE, BREEZE 
well deserved and popular _ philan- 
thropy. 
AMENDS HONORABLE 
It is with pleasure that we can 
correct an editorial error of last week. 
Beverly Farms is still on the map 
and the Beverly Y. M.C.A. nominat- 
ing committee will recognize the 
Ward. On the Board of ‘Trustees, 
John L,. Saltonstall has already been 
elected and on the administrative 
Board of Directors, the Breeze is as- 
sured that there will be representa- 
tion. ‘This is a right and honorable 
attitude for the nominating committee 
to take. The Breeze is interested in 
the candidacy of no one individual 
but believes that the YMCA would 
have neglected an important opening 
for its work if this section of the city 
were overlooked. 
THE NEW STEAMER 
The new steamer at Beverly Farms 
is now assured. ‘The board of alder- 
men voted on its first reading to ac- 
cept the recommendation of the fi- 
nance committee to appropriate 
$5,100 for its purchase. ‘The matter 
will lay on the table a week before 
final action is taken. It will then be 
laid before the Mayor for his signa- 
ture. It is hope against hope that the 
Mayor will change his mind and not 
veto the order but pass it over his sig- 
nature. According to present indica- 
tions it can be passed over that veto. 
The Ward is in debt to Alderman 
Loring for his constant and success- 
ful work for this improvement. 
BOSTON AND EASTERN 
The Boston and Eastern will do 
much for Beverly and Salem but very 
little for Beverly Farms, Manchester 
and Magnolia—now.  But—those 
who know say that eventually it will 
seek a right of way through the 
woods to Beverly Farms, Manchester 
and Gloucester. Time will tell. 
Meantime, the Boston & Maine can 
obtain the good will of the public by 
putting on an evening train at about 
seven thirty in Manchester for Bos- 
ton and about ten twenty from Boston 
for Gloucester and the stations on 
the branch. 
HARVARD WEEK 
The new plan to arrange all of the 
Harvard Commencement celebrations 
in one week meets with the hearty ap- 
proval of every Harvard graduate. 
The wonder is someone did not think 
of this before. 
Congratulations to President and 
Mrs. Taft.

Washington being essentially a 
Southern city—as one would quickly 
judge from its big negro population, 
numbering one-third of the total pop- 
ulation—it is very fitting that it 
should see annual ceremonies over the 
decoration of the graves of Confed- 
erate dead in the National Cemetery 
at Arlington. ‘The. floral tributes 
this year, on June 11, were impress- 
ive, and there was a large attendance. 
Music was by a United States cav- 
alry band, and Senator Taylor, of 
Tennessee, made the principal ad- 
dress. 
The world-wide interests of the 
North Shore is evident in two other- 
wise unrelated incidents: ‘The spon- 
taneous message voted and cabled to 
Prince Henry of Prussia by the East- 
ern Yacht club members in Marble- 
head, and the presence of Mr. and 
Mrs. John Hays Hammond at the 
coronation of England’s king as the 
representative of the United States, 
The proposed absorption of the 
Marshall & Moulton Express Co., of 
fireproof stadium will replace the 
Beverly, is another tribute to the en- 
terprise of Manchester business men’s 
efforts to boom Manchester. 
The Beverly Farms Improvement 
society should place a marking stone 
at the former Lucy Larcom estate 
and at the former Oliver Wendell 
Holmes place on West street-by-the- 
depot. 
Officer D. M. McLean of Beverly 
lost his life in the line of duty. ‘The 
spontaneous recognition of his fam- 
ily care is worthy of Beverly’s enter- 
prise and good friendliness. 
The Manchester Fourth of July 
arrangements bid fair to give the peo- 
ple a good celebration along the “safe 
and sane” lines. 
The summer band concerts contrib- 
ute much to the pleasure of all in 
Manchester and nearby towns. 
Yale has followed Harvard—a new 
old wooden peril. Harvard has had 
the lead here for years. 
Three cheers for Harvard! For 
this is Harvard’s Day. 
Telephone rates go down and the 
real dividends go up. 
Can we never be allowed to “forget 
the Maine.” 
Oh Sugar!!!
