TuereEare said to be 1000 Esperanto 
societies and schools throughout the 
world now, and periodicals for propagat- 
ing the language now number 55, 11 
more than there were last December. 
Esperanto is gaining official recognition 
and privileges in Europe and Asia. Es- 
peranto clubs are being formed in many 
towns and cities, we note in looking over 
our exchanges. 
In connection with the opening of the 
new Beverly Hospital a few weeks ago, 
we suggested that Manchester afhliate 
itself with the institution in some way or 
other, either by providing a free bed or 
by having a room for use of Manchester 
patients. We took the matter up with 
the hospital authorities, and hoped long 
before this to announce what we had ac- 
complished. The hospital directors did 
not meet, however, until Monday of the 
present week, when the matter was tak- 
en up. We hope to have something 
definite to say on the matter next week, 
which will be of interest to every Man- 
chester citizen. 
AN order was presented at a recent 
meeting of the Beverly common council 
providing for the placing of conspicuous 
signs 200 yards on either side of streets 
running by school buildings. The order 
was the outcome of an accident at Bev- 
erly Farms three weeks ago when a 
young school boy was killed by an _ auto- 
mobile near the school house. ‘The or- 
der was presented by Councilman Charles 
P. Tindley, one of Beverly’s rising young 
politicians. The idea seems to us to be 
an excellent one, and one which it would 
be well enough for Manchester and other 
North Shore towns to adopt. Conspic- 
uous signs near school houses, with 
wording something after this style: 
“School Building, Go Slow,’’ might 
be the means of saving the life of more 
than one child in the run of a year. 
THE railroad commissioners have de- 
cided that the new rates of the American 
and National express companies are 
““ excessive and unreasonable.’’ The 
board finds that the territory within 50 
miles of Boston is unique, in that it has 
more cities and large towns, and a 
denser population than any other section 
of its size in the United States, and de- 
serves the minimum rates of express. 
‘The express companies claim that they 
lost $35,000 in this state last year, but 
the board finds that the same amount of 
business this year with the new rate 
would mean an increase in the gross _ in- 
come of $190,000. 
That’s about the way of it! Lose a 
few dollars, and then raise the price so 
that the income is ten fold. An 
. (2 2 . . 
occasional investigation’? would un- 
CG. 
cover other such outrageous — increases’’ 
as the above.

If the Whisperer said that the Man- 
chester Democratic Town committee 
had bought a Republican banner to be 
strung across the street in Central square 
the statement would be given little cred- 
ence. Such, however, is the case,—or

at least they hold a receipted bill for such. 
Chairman Rowe took good care when 
he pain the bill, though, to see that the 
“*Taft and See banner which he 
was paying for was in reality a ‘‘ Bryan 
and Kern’’ banner, and that the bill 
was wrongly made out. At first he was 
inclined to think someone was playing a 
joke, and that a republican instead of a 
democratic banner had been shipped.

John Smith--plain John Smith—is not 
very high-sounding; it does not suggest 
aristocracy; it is not the name of any 
hero in die-away novels; and yet it is 
good, strong and honest. ‘Transferred 
to other languages it seems to climb the 
ladder of respectability. Thus in Latin 
it is Johannes Smithus; the Italian 
smooths it off into Giovanni Smith; the 
Spaniards render it Juan Smithus; the 
Dutchman adopts it as Hans Schmidt; 
the French flatten it out into Jean Smeet; 
and the Russian sneezes and barks Jon- 
loff Smittowski. When John Smith gets 
into the tea trade in Canton he becomes 
Jovan Shimmit; if he clambers about 
Mt. Hecla the Icelanders say he is Jahne 
Smithson; if he tarries among the Tu- 
scaroras he becomes Ton Qa Smittia; 
in Poland he is known as Ivan Schmitti- 
weiski; should he wander among the 
Welsh mountains they talk of Jihon 
Schmidd; when he goes to Mexico he 
is booked as Jontli F’Smitti; if of classic 
turn he lingers among Greek ruins he 
turns to Ion Smikton; and in Turkey he 
is utterly disguised as You Seef.
