At THE AMERICANIZATION meeting held last week 
for Italians at Beverly Farms, Mayor MacDonald made 
a strong appeal to the men from Italy to make strenuous 
efforts to benefit themselves and to live within the law of 
the land wherein they gain a livelihood. (He paid a just 
tribute to the Italians who have been helping in America. 
Such encouragement by the leader of a municipality to 
the new Americans within its borders cannot but be a 
great help in the solving of the immigration problem. 
THE PLUMBERS have wisely made an agreement for a 
long period of years. The conditions of business are 
hardly such as to warrant any more favorable terms for 
employees. The business world today is readjusting itself 
to changed conditions and the future is not altogether 
bright. The plumbers have acted wisely and in the end 
they have acted advantageously to their own interests in 
the settlement, even though the gains hoped for have not 
been made. 
TO PROVIDE AGAINST fire accidents and to give the fire 
department accurate information concerning the location 
of inflammable oils and liquids on and after August first 
the purchasers of oil and gasoline will be obliged to have 
a license. This does not apply to purchases made for 
domestic use. As the licenses are easily obtained no hard- 
ship is imposed upon anyone, and everybody will be 
benefited by the additional precaution made against fire. 
It Is A THOUSAND pities that Holt, or Muenter, did 
not live. If he had ,accomplices the Government ought 
to know who they are. But the simple facts in the case 
would seem to indicate that his endeavors were the result 
of a disordered brain. No one can provide against the 
attacks made by the insane. 
AN EFFORT IS BEING MADE to provide for the closing 
of factories during the summer season so that labor may 
be obtained for harvesting the crops of the West. It is 
a fair dream, but hard to realize. There are workmen 
who would oppose the movement. 
MASSACHUSETTS has a serious motor problem that 
must be solved sooner or later. There is no doubt that 
heenses are granted too easily. Some way ought to be 
devised to prevent incompetent people from obtaining 
licenses. 
THE NEW ‘TREES planted by the Beverly Farms 
Improvement Society are doing well and add much to 
the appearance of the streets on which they have been 
planted. 
THE OPEN AIR FETE to be held at the Haven estate by 
the summer residents of the North Shore in the interests 
of the Naval Y. M. C. A. at Boston ought to be generously 
patronized. 
MANCHESTER'S baseball team continues its record of 
victories, losing only two games last year, and none this 
season so far. 
As THE SECOND INDUSTRY in America the moving 
picture craze has been effectively capitalized. 
Even tHE EuropkAN var is unable to subdue the 
public interest in the Thaw case.

the-world over.

Ais 
OF all the trades for which a man is willing, 
The dirtiest of all that of killing. 
Nothing doth it produce, 
But makes destruction of what else were use. 
You say that he has gone to—well— 
In other words, he’s gone to hell. 
Yes, bloody war puts hell to shame. 
And deserves no better name, 
What need of lordship or of armed hordes? 
Love hath no use for swords. 
*Tis peace and order and content 
That Love affords. 
What is Diplomacy when Greek meets Greek? 
It is to make black white, white black— 
To kiss the cheek 
And stab the back! 
Why should I lift a vengeful arm 
’Gainst one who ne’er did me harm? 
Why should I wish to meet in fight 
One like myself of equal might - 
And battle until either yield, 
The other dead upon the field? 
Why should we play the battle game 
And fire our sons to do the same? 
Or think to settle right by might 
In equal or unequal fight ? 
There surely were a better fashion. 
Of argument than brutal passion! 
Thro’ all the clouds of horror and disgrace, 
Prophetic vision sees 
The sure emergence of the race, 
Altho’ by slow degrees. 
Doubt not democracies 
Shall outgrow monarchies 
Which from their lofty throne 
So long have ruled alone. 
The people, in their new-found might, 
Shall see the light 
And come into their own. ; 
—JosepH A. Torrey. 
Tur Boy Scour movement in Manchester has been 
signally successful as elsewhere. The ethical standards 
of the organization are above reproach and the young lads 
who subscribe to the pledge which provides that the scout 
shall be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, 
kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent 
will have made much of his life if he realizes its instruc- 
tions and provisions. 
THE GENERAL UPWARD movement of most of the 
established stocks listed on the exchange is one of the 
surprises of these war days. 
Ir Witson wrertes the note at Cornish, Cornish will 
have a name in history for all time. 
Tre BrorHERHooD will take Tuck’s Point tomorrow. 
Poor Beycium the land of suffering!
