WAST AAT 
THE PROBLEM OF REFORESTATION has not yet been 
solved in New England, but greater progress has 
been made during the last season than in any other year 
since active reforestation work was begun. America 
may well look to Europe to learn a lesson in forestation 
economy. The lines of development have been three 
in number. The development of shade tree planting 
along roads and streets by individuals and communities 
has been continued. The planting and the encouragement 
of the planting of private acreage by individuals has been 
surprisingly large. But greater progress has been made 
in the purchase of forest reservation by the state govern- 
ments and then reforested and cared for scientifically. 
The advance work has been aided also by conservation 
activities. Greater care is now being given to stands of 
timber by private individuals. The increased cost of 
lumber has made money expenditures in clearing stands 
of soft woods, under-brush, and the clearing of the for- 
est floors economically possible. This movement is of 
vital interest to the North Shore, for the greatest asset 
the Shore has apart from its proximity to the large cen- 
ters and its attractive sea-shore it its standing growths 
of beautiful trees. Denude the woodlands of their tim- 
ber and the beauty of the Shore would be materially 
harmed. Public sentiment in the North Shore towns 
has now been crystalized and the man or group of men 
who seek to exploit their own private lands for present 
gains will know that the public cannot approve the ruth- 
less waste such activities cause. Now private owners are 
beginning to realize that such destructive timbering is an 
economic loss to the penny-wise woodland owners them- 
selves.

October 9, 1914. No. 41 
THE ESTABLISHMENT BY PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMA- 
TION of a Peace Sunday to be observed by all the chuches 
in our broad land was a commendible idea. More pro- 
gress has been made in creating public sentiment against 
war and its crime against civilization during the last two 
months than in any two centuries in the history of the 
world. The European contest has at least accomplished 
this much for the cause of civilization. 
THE ProGRESSIVE Party should courteously accept 
the welcome which the republican party assures them if 
they will but return to the fold. This is a coalition that 
is inevitable. Consequently delay means failure for. both 
the republican and progressive parties. 
A DrEMocRATIC CONGRESS AND SENATE will do more 
to assure a republican victory two years from now than 
any other course events may take in the next few months. 
Wuitré Pusric SENTIMENT IN AMERICA, for ethical 
reason, is against Germany and its martial program, it 
will be well to remember that Germany has a reputation 
for military prowess that is established by martial ability. — 
To make news that corresponds to the desire of the pub- — 
lic is a human failing. To color the news for local con- 
sumption is an error that even careful and honorable 
newspaper proprietors may commit. The owners of 
unscrupulous papers that are catering for a monetary 
returns will not be over careful in editing news. News 
that will sell papers seems to be the standard of such 
men. There is a well pronounced leaning in America for 
news favorable to the Allies. There lies the danger. 
German power may be too easily underestimated. -This 
terrible war has only just begun and the great German 
race is fighting despite the apparent injustice of their 
aggressions, as though fighting for their native heath and 
for domestic liberty. It cannot for a moment be believed 
that Germany will lay its arms down quickly. The 
Kaiser and the army will fight to the bitter end. During — 
the war in the Seventies the news that came to America 
constantly failed in an appreciation of the gains made 
by Germany. The Breeze is not unfriendly to the Ger- — 
man people, but it is opposed to the military policy of 
that great nation. It believes, however, that the military 
power and ability of that nation should not be under- 
estimated. It knows that the cause of civilization rests 
with the Allies and their success will mean the conquer- 
ing of the spirit of militarism and make for international 
peacé But the militaristic ideal is so entrenched in Ger- 
man public ideals and policies for Germany’s own salva- 
tion and the true success of its people that that policy 
must be thoroughly conquered. But militarism will die 
hard. This war will not be a short one and the Ger- 
mans will not easily be overcome. The fight will be ~ 
severe and the reading public should carefully read war 
front news and make such allowances for the inevitable 
“coloring” the news will inevitably have for American con- 
sumption. 
Tur ANNOUNCEMENT BY A CANDIDATE for the Gov- -

Prohibition indicates that there is something growing in 
this State. The Prohibition question cannot be downed! 
THe Fat, oF 1914 WwAs INCOMPARABLE up to the 
twentieth of September. After the first of October had 
passed and the favorable weather continued, a record was 
estabished. The good weather has been particularly 
surprising and gratifying after the unusually inclement 
summer. All of the summer resorts in Massachusetts 
suffered financially this year. Then came September. 
The lengthening of the season has been noticeable in 
recent years but with such a September and October the 
season will be longer than usual this year. 
It 1s Now ANNouNCED that the British government 
“cornered” sugar and was able in this way to assure the 
British public of sugar at reasonable prices. It is evident 
in the American prices paid for “sugar” that it was not 
the government that had “cornered” sugar.
