BEVERLY is making all together too 
much ado over President Taft’s coming 
to that place. Itis all well enough to 
feel proud of the fact that the ‘‘ Garden 
City’’ is to be the nation’s summer cap- 
ital; it is a mistake, though, to give too 
much expression to this feeling. The 
President’s family is no different than 
any other family; they do not care to be 
the cynosure of everybody’s eyes, all the 
time. They come here for rest and 
quiet and the less publicity given to their 
every move and plan while on the North 
Shore the better they will like it and the 
more apt they will be to return here an- 
other year. “Too much of this torch- 
light procession business, honorary mem- 
bership in clubs, judge of boat races, 
speaking to school childrens will prove 
very distasteful to the President if the 
suggestions ever reach his ears. Cut it 
out, Beverly, if you have any desire to 
make things so pleasant for the President 
and his family that they will want to re- 
turn another season. 
‘THE congressman from our district 
has come into large prominence before 
the country. At the organization of the 
present tariff session of congress he was 
the recognized leader of the reactionary 
forces who tried to shear the Speaker of 
some of his ‘‘arbitrary’’ power, by revis- 
ing the rules as to appointment of com- 
mittees. , 
Besides the space devoted to the fight 
by the daily press, the Success Magazine, 
the Saturday Evening Post, and the Hu- 
man Life Magazine devote prominent 
positions to articles on the subject in their 
May issues. 
Alfred Henry Lewis, the veteran 
Washington correspondent is the author 
of the article in the Human Life and it 
is one of the best of this writer’s bio- 
graphical sketches. 
Speaking of the tyranny of the Speaker 
Mr. Lewis says: 
“* There isn’t space herein to describe 
in all its features the gavel tyranny of the 
House. Suffice it that, under the rules 
as they exist and have existed for more 
than 20 years, Speaker Cannon is the 
House. So far as the other 390 odd 
members are concerned, they might as 
well have stayed at home, and saved the 
public their salaries and mileages. No 
despot of ancient Greece or modern 
Turkey was ever more secure in his ab- 
solutism than is Speaker Cannon. He 
can make or unmake a member on the 
floor. He can give him speech or strike 
him dumb. He can put him on or keep 
him off committees. Behind his breast- 
works of precedent, intrenched in those 
rules, the Speaker dominates the House 
like some Jupiter of legislation. In his 
hands are the thunder bolts. Also, 
while there have been scores who yearned 
for his down fall, not one has had the 
courage to assail him, or the intelligence 
demanded for so perilous an enterprise, 
until one gets to Mr. Gardner. Mr. 
Gardner alone has demonstrated the pos- 
session of both the heart and the head 
for the task. Last session he led an _at- 
tack upon Speaker Cannon and his bull 
and chain rules. The more conserva- 
tive shrunk back, the timid stood aghast. 
Mr. Gardner went on undismaved. 
One by one certain of the younger mem- 
bers joined him. Inthe end he found 
himself the chief of 30 rebellionists.”’ 
The Success Magazine givesa very care- 
ful review ten or twelve columns in 
length of the condition surrounding this 
notable fight, in the gt mbit 
says: 
‘“ Those who are not aq with the 
far-reaching power of a great political — 
organization, fighting. for itself and for 
the moneyed interests. which it repre- 
sents, can hardly realize the terrific pres- 
sure brought to bear upon one after an- 
other of this little band of i insurgents, to. 
induce them to break away from their. 
plighted faith to the others; and upon 
such Democrats as were believed to be 
* open to influence.’ ”’ 
lt makes us proud of our representative 
to read at the end of the article;previous- 
ly referred to, Mr. Lewis’ Sonn gd peror- 
ation: PL vad aR 
“Young, strong, clear, keen, datint® 
less, industrious in spite of his money, ‘as ~ 
sound in his honesties as the heart of an. 
oak, American in all things, ready ‘to, 
fight when right—or wrong—the world . 
will hear many times of Mr. Gardner.in- 
the 20 years tocome. There is nothing. 
he dare not attempt, no place he might 
not attain to.’’ 
‘©The North Shore Breeze comes out 
in a strong editorial for the new electri- 
cal line trom Boston, and speaks of the 
great advantage to people down on the 
Cape. It would be of great advantage. 
if the trolley could pass through Man-. 
chester to the Cape. The Boston. 8, 
Northern might just as well extend oitsy: 
lines from Chapman’s corner. Electric: 
cars would be infinitely more safe and’, 
convenient than the army of autos, ‘which 
not only race all over the street; but are~ 
veritable wild locomotives.’’——Beverly 
Column in Salem Evening News. 
Bible School Convention. 
The Salem Baptist Bible School con- 
vention, comprising the Baptist churches.

W. Main. The afternoon session will
