VOL. XIl 
BrverLy Hosprray has been the beneficiary in other 
wills, but the bequest in the will of the Hon. William 
Endicott of Pride’s Crossing, is a Providence. That insti- 
tution has been serving the North Shore with an efficiency 
that cannot be challenged. The bequest is as honorable 
to the giver as it is deserved by the recipient. Mr. Endi- 
cott was a careful, but generous giver in his life-time and 
his public bequests in his last testament are characteris- 
tically philanthropic. The gift to the hospital was parti- 
cularly needed. The institution needs other large and 
generous gifts to afford a large and more adequate en- 
dowment. It is certain that money thus invested will 
yield large returns in comfort rendered to the people of 
Beverly, Manchester, Hamilton and vicinity.

Tue Loss oF THE AUDACIOUS was a calamity, indeed, 
to the English navy. This dreadnaught was the best 
naval vessel lost in the present conflict. It was, however, 
nothing short of miraculous that only two lives were sac- 
rificed. All naval losses are not so fortunate as far as 
human life is concerned. Judging from the length of 
time that expired after the Audacious met its accident 
before its fate was known to the world it is more evident 
that the censorship system is working well and that the 
newspapers missed a great “story’”—for a while. 
Now TuHat THere 1s A Rea Possipiiity of the 
United States Government recalling the troops at Vera 
Cruz the people may begin to breath a little freer when 
confronted with the Mexican possibilities. The Vera 
Cruz incident seemed terrible the day the news was first 
broken upon the nation, but the European conflict has 
minimized its importance and with it its possible terror. 
The United States cannot afford to neglect the moral 
pretentions of its people by making war for economic 
reasons or because of a policy of “peaceful penetration.” 
Ture Op BELL IN THE STEEPLE of the Congrega- 
tional church at Manchester has rung out its melodious 
tone for generations. A month or two ago it lost its 
pleasing, sweet toned voice, and now a new tune will 
be heard from the historic tower as the result of the vote 
Monday to install a new bell. 
THE ANNOUNCEMENT Is Mabe that “the transporta- 
tion of cattle, sheep, swine, hens, pigeons or other farm 
birds is prohibited.” An excellent sentence! 
Tur Autuorrtes Disacreg as to the origin of the 
hoof and mouth disease, but they agree unanimously that 
the situation is serious.

DrEcIDED PRocREsS toward the resumption of regular 
business is noted in the general financial situation. The 
opening of the Cotton Exchange in New York this week 
was followed by intimations from high banking quarters 
of the probable reopening of the Stock Exchange at the 
beginning of the new year. There were other distinct in- 
dications of improvement, including further heavy retire- 
ments of emergency currency, additional advances in most 
of the bonds and stocks quoted by several markets now in 
operation and an advance in the price of copper metal. 
All of which gives futher assurance that business condi- 
tions will have righted themselves before another season 
and that next year will be one of the most prosperous 
at the New England resorts. 
WovutLp You LIKE to make this Christmas just a little 
different—and a little better—than all others of the past? 
Would you like to feel just a little better satisfied with 
yourself? Figure up about the amount of money you 
expect to spend, and then send a check for about one- 
tenth or one-twentieth of the amount to your church 
treasurer. If every person in town did that it would save 
the ministers a good deal of pleading for funds. Of 
course the suggestion is rather startling, but it would be 
quite in keeping with the Christmas spirit. 
CarpiInaL O’CoNNELL has made a plea for religious 
tolerance and liberty in Mexico. In this country of ours 
religious liberty and tolerance have been dearly won. 
Religious bigotry and intolerance is contrary to the ‘prin- 
ciples of our free government and foreign to the spirit 
of our land. Religious liberty is a priceless inheritance 
that must be won and held at all costs. The American 
people will delight in seeing Mexico throw off the spirit 
of intolerance and enjoy true religious liberty for all. 
ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL RETURNS sent in to the 
State of Massachusetts, Essex county holds the record 
for the number of pheasants killed during the legal open 
season, Oct. 12 to Nov. 12. This is not a form of pre- | 
cedence in which the county should take pride; the county 
is the poorer for such legalized slaughter. 
THIS SECTION OF THE STATE has, so far, been immune 
from the ravages of the Foot and Mouth disease, al- 
though breeders of poultry chaff under the embargo 
placed upon the transportation of poultry. Such a re- 
straint may well be borne with patience in view of the 
dangers of infection. 
It 1s INEvrTABLE Now that the war will end before 
another year can roll around. The greatest of all enemies, 
famine, will certainly seize Germany in its grasp if next 
year’s crops are not sown and harvested. 
Tur Hoor anp Mouru DrsEAsE is spreading with 
alarming rapidity and the owners of horses and live stock 
are urged to make frequent and careful examination 
of their kennels, barnyards and stables. 
Aut Roaps LEAD To THE Bowl tomorrow and every 
Yale and Harvard graduate awaits with interest the out- 
come of the struggle. Will it be Harvard’s or Yale’s 
Day?
