element that is able to raise havoc 
so constantly, year after year. The 
vote on Tuesday shows a net gain 
for the control of the liquor problem 
and Salem and Lynn remained in 
the no-license column. This is a 
good sign. The constant shifting 
of the vote from one side to the 
other in consecutive years is a 
doubtful ‘‘dry’’ victory. Beverly 
lost, because of the light election 
-yote, nearly 418 votes for no-license. 
There was a loss of only 45 ‘‘yes’”’ 
votes. It is a serious question in 
the face of these figures whether 
the city is pursuing the wisest pol- 
icy in not making each year some ef- 
fort to educate the ‘‘yes’’ voters to 
” toting. It will be seen that 
the ‘‘yes’’ column lost only one 
vote to ten ‘‘no’’ votes lost.

League has died an honorable death.

Congressman Gardner can be de-

request and doubtless will be

As your bark swiftly glides o'er life’s troubled 
Battling first with the storm king and then mith 
While nearing that far amay shore, 
When the trials of life seem a burden, 
And we dream of those happou days past 
When hopes seem to meet disappointment, 
When misfortune and troubles come fast— 
Don't despair, but stand firm and have courage; 
Remember the storm cannot last— 
Soon the noon will turn wild waves to silver, 
Che sun gild the storm clouds with gold. 
With your bark riding safely at anchor 
Gear the half that’s never been told.
