VOLUME 5B. NUMBER 21 
SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1907. 
With this issue the BREEZE starts 
on its fourth year. It was three 
years ago last Tuesday (May 21, 1904), 
that the first issue of the paper ap- 
peared. We take this means. of 
thanking the business men of the 
North Shore and our 1500 subscribers 
for their support and hope that the 
kind of paper we are publishing will 
merit a continuation of their support 
in the future. The BREEZE is grow- 
ing weekly. We started three years 
ago with 16 pages, and 20 pages was 
the best we could do in the height of 
the season. This issue has 34 pages 
and the coming summer will see a 
40-page paper filled with live, readable 
news and advertising. 
This paper is taken by practically 
every summer family along the North 
Shore from Beverly to Magnolia, and 
the names of a big majority of the 
families in Manchester, Beverly Farms 
and Magnolia are on our subscription 
list, to say nothing of the steadily in- 
creasing list of general readers all 
over the state and country, we might 
say. In addition to this, the paper is 
for sale at newstands in Beverly, 
Pride’s Crossing, Beverly Farms, 
Manchester, Magnolia and Gloucester. 
Notice to Subscribers 
We call the attention of our sub- 
scribers to the new law which recently 
went into effect in Canada whereby 
all second-class publications hereto- 
fore passing through the mails at the 
special publishers rates, must hence- 
forth be mailed with postage attached. 
This means that we must pay a 
cent for every paper sent to Canada 
and the Provinces. On all subscrip- 
tions to these points in the future the 
price will be $1.50 a year instead 
of $1.00. :

Various predictions are being made 
as to the time the Legislature will be 
prolonged. Speaker Cole believes 
the House will finish its business 
about the first of June. The general 
Opinion is, however, that the sessions 
will not cease before the middle of 
June. 
The Shoe Machinery bill is still the 
subject of great oratorical efforts. 
It not only is of great interest to the 
legislators themselves, but to thousands 
of citizens throughout the Common- 
wealth. This bill came up Wednes- 
day for ordering to a third reading, 
the debate taking the entire day. 
Rep. Higgins leads the fight for the 
bill while Rep. Turtle leads the 
opponents. 
The sensational newspapers with 
flaring head lines claims that money 
is freely offered in order to kill the 
bill. Most people pay no attention 
to these rumors. They are born of 
that unreasoning prejudice that be- 
lieves a corporation, simply because it 
is a corporation, should be subjected 
to this sort of treatment. The peo- 
ple also believe that the great major- 
ity of legislators are honest men, men 
who would not blacken their character 
for sordid gain. 
The bill passed the house by a wide 
margin, but Rep. Ross of New Bed- 
ford, the labor leader, offered an 
amendment which many men think is 
unconstitutional. An effort will be 
made to reconsider this amendment 
and defeat it. If this is done it is be- 
lieved the bill will ultimately pass both 
the House and Senate. The bill has 
gone through the Senate but goes 
back for enactment. 
Gov. Guild on Wednesday sent to 
the House the fourth veto of the 
present session. The bill vetoed was 
an act to increase the compensation 
of all clerks of courts in the common- 
wealth, with the exception of the cit 
of Boston, from three-fifths of the 
salaries of the judges of their respect- _

his 
ive courts to 
Governor in 
grounds for not approving this bill — 
were that it was special legislation, — 
and also that the clerks of courts had 
the matter of their compensation pro- — 
vided for by a commission who had 
gone carefully into this question in 
1904. The salaries of clerks of courts 
are based on the population and after 
every census, if there is an increase in 
population, there is an increase in 
compensation for 
These clerks received an increase in 
1905, and probably will again in 1910. 
Most people believe the Governor’s 
point well taken.

The anti-capital punishment bill 
was defeated in the -House by. a tie 
vote, Speaker Cole voting against the 
bill and making the tie. There isa 
great deal of feeling against this bill 
throughout the state. 
Baron General Tamemotto Kuroki, 
the Japanese hero of the Russian-Jap- 
anese war, paid an official visit to His 
Excellency the Governor on Thursday. 
One of the interesting things shown 
the General by the Governor was part 
of a shell used at Port Arthur, which 
was given the Governor by the Japan- 
ese Consul. The Governor gave a 
dinner in honor of General Kuroki at 
the Algonquin club.

Chas. T. Loomis, the jeweler, is the 
latest hen fancier to come forward 
with a ‘“‘ non-breakable ” record. He 
has just had 182 chickens hatched by 
an incubator out of 202 eggs. This is 
the best we have heard of so far. Can 
anybody break it ? 
Miss Margaret McNamara of Bos- 
ton, the masseuse, has arrived at Man- 
chester for the season and is again at 
the Gilman house, corner School and 
Brook streets. 
Mrs. Frank B. Rust spent Tuesday 
with her twin sister Mrs. J. F. Full in 
Pigeon Cove, it being their birthday, 
which event they celebrated inform- 
ally. 7 
Chief Peabody and special officer 
Leary rounded up a batch of four 
drunks one afternoon the first of the 
week who were holding forth in the 
“ledge” east of Sea street Crossing. 
Three of the fellows were fined $5.00 
each in court and another was sent to 
jail for 30 days, the charge against the 
Jatter in addition to being drunk being 
that of skipping his bail last fall. He 
was arrested and bailed out by Chas. 
Littlefield. He skipped and was not 
heard of again until this week.
