Mrs. Quincy A. SHAw oF Boston and Pride’s Cross- 
ing has answered the summons and her earthly labor has 
been completed. Her career is a striking illustration of 
a useful life of service and self-sacrifice despite her great 
wealth. She laid all her talents upon the altar of unself- 
ish service and from her investment received back far 
richer returns than ever were hers by virtue of the family 
possessions in one of the most profitable copper mines 11 
the world. Her heart was sympathetic, her mind clear 
and her judgment good. She was affiliated with the 
Unitarian church, but her sympathies were broad as the 
field of world service. She did not waste her substance 
in wanton giving, but with discrimination selected valu- 
able social methods of work for the use of her available 
charitable funds. The pitfall of indiscriminate charities 
she effectively avoided. The modern kindergarten sys- 
tem of child training owes her much. She was inter- 
ested in the North End Civic Service House and the North 
Bennet Street Industrial School. These efficient city 
philanthropies will miss her guiding hand and carefully 
made and generous gifts. As was to be expected her in- 
terest in social welfare movements led her into the larger 
fields of political thought. She was an ardent suffragist 
and was helpful to the organizations working for equal 
ouffrage. Her private benevolences will never be known, 
but many persons in Boston and on the North Shore will 
miss her help and encouragement. She gave her heart 
and mind to the interests which she promoted and en- 
‘joyed the blessings of social service well done. 
WASHINGTON’s BrrtHpAy will be celebrated next 
Thursday. The anniversary should have special signifi- 
cance to us at this time, for it should call to our minds the 
nature of the man whose several declarations of national 
policy are the basis of our present stand in our inter- 
national relations. Whether Washington voiced his per- 
sonal views only or summed up the best opinion of his 
time, the fact remains that his caution to the American 
people to withhold from entangling alliances, has served 
as one of our fundamental principles of national foreign 
policy. His influence survived the period in which he 
lived and will reach on to a distant future. He pointed 
the way to safety in international relations and rigid ad- 
herence to his admonition should steer us! clear of trouble 
from that quarter for all time. He deserves the high 
place he holds in our history. 
Tue Norru Suore Mororists, who have been ac- 
customed to take the old Chelsea Ferry as an alternate 
route when in haste to reach Boston, will no longer have 
that opportunity. The City of Chelsea has declined to 
aid the enterprise and it has discontinued the service. 
Another old Boston transportation enterprise ends. 
LincoLN Day. WaAs APPROPRIATELY OBSERVED by 
churches and patriotic organziations. The place that 
Lincoln held in American history will never be usurped 
by any other man.’ His name is immortal. 
interested in and the most effective way of accomplishing 
Tue War Has Taucut THE Wor LD the one lessor 
of sea warfare and that is the desirability of the sub- 
marine and its effectiveness in all forms of sea work. 
The United States government would do well to learn 
these lessons. The Deutchland arrived safely and _— 
brought a cargo, but it could have arrived just as efficient- 
ly on an enemy errand had the United States and the 
German government been at war., America should be 
wise enough to take the hint. Henry Ford claims that he 
can invent a powerful and efficient one-man submarine 
and turn them out by the thousands. The United States 
government should be well equipped with both kinds, 
with a great fleet of little ones and a powerful squadron 
of big submarines equaling and surpassing the Deutch- 
land and the Bremen in size and efficiency. 
Lorp Norruciifrr, THE GREATEST of British journal- 
ists, has paid a tribute to the American nation that ought 
not to pass unnoticed. He says: “It is generally felt here 
that when this great war is over and the history of this — 
ereat world revolution is written, future generations will 
realize that the United States has exhibited patience and- 
forbearance to a point beyond which national honor and 
dignity could not go. It is hoped by a majority of the 
English people that America will not be drawn into the 
war.” It is well to have such an appreciation spoken by 
a man ina position of leadership to speak for the British 
people. . 
DEAN PouND Succrsts the desirability of a central 
commission, who shall have the rower to assign sittings to 
judges in various districts where thev are needed when | 
the work shall have been completed in their own district. 
The suggested change only opens up the greatest question: 
of progress in governi mental matters, “America is still 
growing and the future will reveal just as effective 
changes for good as those inaugurated and followed by 
our fathers. 
Tue British Arg BLOCKADING the Germans and the 
Germans are blockading the British, but it would appear 
that neither Great Britain nor Germany was more effec-_ 
tively blockaded than is the United States. The shipping | 
of neutral American ports is effectually tied through fear 
aroused by the German protocol. America is also suf- 
fering the penalties of war. 
Rice Is As VALUABLE as the potato, which just al 
present is selling at almost prohibitive prices. The public ‘a 
needs to be educated up to the real value of rice as a 
vegetable and particularly the advantage of brown rice, — 
the rice that has not been robbed of its nutritious values 
and coated with paraffin that has no value.

Tur Governor Has APpornrteD'a committee of one 
‘“uindred to be known as a national welfare committee to 
aid in marshaling the treasures and men of Massachusetts ~ 
for national help in the event of a crisis arising. As 
“sas to be expected there are many familiar North Shore 
names in the list. 4 
Tus Winter Has Broucut with it all that a win- 
ter should. There has been cold weather enough to sat-— 
isfy everybody,—even the ice man. Haughton’s Pond in 
Milton has seventeen inches of ice, a testimony to the — 
continuous cold weather since the holiday season. : 
Miss CrarA WintHROP made a telling appeal for the . 
soldiers of France and all who heard her talk in Man- — 
chester have a new idea of the need of the work she is
