NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
a world influence for peace and 
righteousness. (7) The suecessful 
termination of that war continued 
the work of the conquest of Eng- 
land, the struggle of Cromwell, the 
adventures of the Puritans in Am- 
erica, the heroism of the colonist of 
1776 in maintaining the aggresive 
progressive spirit of the Anglo 
Saxon race. (8) The Civil war 
made a larger contributation to the 
peace of the world than any event 
in the world’s history. It does not 
take a prophet to realize the chaotic 
conditions that would have resulted 
in America with two states, one 
slave and one free. The long fron- 
tier on the north, the broad expanse 
on the east and the-great river on 
the west invited opportunities for 
war and martial aggrandisement un- 
equaled in the world. Could Am- 
erica have successfully maintained 
the Munroe Doctrine? Could peace 
have been maintained on the con- 
tinent? Could the war hand of 
Europe be kept off? The war ended 
these fears and the wonderful 
strides made by the United States 
in the last fifty years and the pro- 
gress of the peace movement is due 
to the pioneer work of the Civil war. 
The hereulean President William 
Howard Taft and his energetic, noble 
stand for World Peace continues the 
great and good work of the war. 
(9) The war made it possible for 
the immigrant to come here and es- 
tablish a home and gain a livlihood, 
with religious, freedom, democratic 
opportunities for citizenship and 
peace away from the nihilism, des- 
potism, imperialism, anarchism and 
ecclesiasticism of the old world. 
The alien American owes a debt of 
gratitude to the noble men of 1861- 
5 which never can be repaid. It is 
inspiring to witness the enthusiastic 
devotion which some of our newer 
citizens show to their adopted land. 
Surely in the light of history that 
war has accomplished great ends. 
The real beginning of the Great Re- 
public was at Appomattox Court 
House and brothers met brothers as 
brothers again and the old flag was 
again loved north and south for we 
are brothers all. Memorial Day is 
destined to abide but it must indure 
as a day for peace instruction and 
not for the continuation of the spirit 
jingoism. Victor Hugo has well 
said—‘‘yes the brutalities of pro- 
gress are called revolutions, but 
when that is ended, this fact is 
recognized the human race has been 
chastised but it has moved onward.”’

The careful report of the Sub 
Committee makes the horror of the 
Titanic more real. Captain Smith 
is condemned for failing to heed 
the warnings concerning icebergs 
ahead. Captain Lord of the Cali- 
fornia is also censured for disre- 
garding the distress signals. The 
affair was the result of a terrible 
combination of unfortunate condi- 
tions. 
tions. There is little consolation in 
the fact that the blame has been 
officially placed. 
The wisdom and sound states- 
manship of President Taft is no- 
where more transparent.than in his 
foreign diplomatic relations. To his 
clear judgment ‘‘an_ affair’’ with 
Mexico was honorably avoided. The 
Ship of State has a clear eyed Pilot 
and he will keep it off the rocks of 
Cuba. 
Congressman Gardener is con- 
stantly showing his modern and ag- 
gressive abilities. Not content to 
argue the case against Beam Trawl- 
ing by French fishing schooners in 
the North Sea he presented in mov- 
ing pictures a French schooner us- 
ing the great beam or otter trawl. 
Theodore Roosevelt is claiming 
everything in sight. Politicians al- 
ways know how to do that but— 
unfortunately, for the third term in- 
surrectionist, the legitimate can- 
didate has the necessary credentials 
in his hat. The nomination of Mr. 
Taft is assurred. 
Dr. Charles E. Jefferson’s critic- 
ism of Mr. Roosevelt and his la- 
ment concerning the broken ideal of 
the millions of young Americans is 
altogether too true. Others can 
share Dr. Jefferson’s feeling and re- 
erets. 
Senator Smith’s arraignment of 
the British Board of Trade, ‘‘to 
whose laxity of regulation and 
hasty inspection the world is large- 
ly indebted for the awful fatality ”’ 
is just and fearlessly spoken. 
It is a pity that the State House 
plan, commonly called the Andrews 
plan failed of support in the com- 
mittee. The plan although rejected, 
approved by the group of archi- 
tects, must come eventually. 
The limited power of the Senate 
Committee is evident in the report 
that punishment of those guilty 
would be left to England.

Congressman Gardner’s support 
of Ex-Governor Guild’s candidacy 
in preference to his own is charac- 
teristically loyal. Hither man would 
honor Massachusetts.

The May committee of the Man- 
chester Woman’s club has turned 
over to the District Nurse associa- 
tion, one hundred dollars, the pro-

Miss Annie Saxfild of East 
Gloucester is located at Smith’s 
Point, Manchester, for the summer 
These have been busy days at Har- 
ry Sanders restaurant, formerly the 
Reed restaurant, since the new pro- 
prietor has been preparing for his 
opening and Mr. Reed has been clos- 
ing out his connection with this busi- 
ness, which he has so_ successfully 
conducted for 15 years. A Breeze 
representative dined recently at the 
Beverly Farms restaurant conduct- 
ed by Mr. Sunders and found the 
service there most satisfactory in 
every way. Shouid the same policy 
be adopted in Manchester there is 
no reason whwy Mr. Sanders should 
not meet with great success here.
