IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! 
It is desired to call the attention of our 
readers to the startling announcement 
which filled the editorial column of 
THE MANCHESTER CRICKET in 
its issue of last Saturday. With a few 
sympathetic comments of our own, the 
illuminating article is printed below. 
The ‘‘Cricket’’ is still white and in- 
tends to maintain its immaculate appear- 
ance; it will also endeavor, as in the 
past, to treat all its patrons white. 
The ‘‘Cricket’’ is still doing business 
at the old stand at $1 per year. 
nounces that, in the future, it will not 
advance—for anybody—a policy which 
it has consistently followed for the last 
23 years. 
Special emphasis is laid onthe an- 
nouncement that the ““Cricket’’ is Man- 
chester’s paper,—although printed in 
Boston—and always has been, and al- 
ways will be. | 
It thoughtfully warns its readers that 
grasshoppers are becoming burdensome. 
It an- 
It concludes its instructive article with 
the significant statement that, while the 
6 . 2.99 C 
Cricket’s’’ song is constant and cheer- 
ful, it does not sing louder than the 
Whip-poor-will, yet, on rare occasions, 
can be heard, if everybody is silent and 
listening. 
Tue exhilaration of excitement over 
the on-coming of the President continues 
to manifest itself in the city of Beverly. 
The latest threatened eruption of misfit 
enthusiasm is the announcement that one 
of our esteemed daily contemporaries 
will get out a Big Special Taft edition 
of its newspaper. 
As we have said before, all this not- 
oriety, noise and gush is very distasteful 
to the President, when he is bent on the 
object of coming to the North Shore to 
find a little quiet and rest for the sum- 
mer. 
Nothing could be more misfit and ill- 
judged than all these barbecue, picnic, 
brass-band, special-edition efforts to show 
appreciation of our Executive Chief. 
He comes here for relaxation and 
peace, and ought to be let alone. 
Danvers drove the vice president out 
of town two years ago by its too fond at- 
tention. It is said they went early and 
sat about on the stone walls, to wait for 
Mr. Fairbanks to get up in the morning. 
Everybody ought to bealeader in the 
effort to preserve tranquility and make 
President Taft’s stay here a pleasant one, 
and not drive him away with too much 
reception, serenade, and pyrotechnical 
display, whether it be of fireworks, or 
big type. 
ANorTHer call of the Manchester fire 
department to the Magnolia section of 
the town points to the great benefit that 
would be derived from a combination 
automobile hose and chemical truck. 
Manchester’s most valued property is lo- 
cated in the outlying districts of the 
town and it is for the town to provide 
the best in fire equipment to meet any 
emergency arising from this source. No 
one can dispute but what the present de- 
partment is as good and efficient as that 
of any town of the size in Essex County. 
But to be still more up to date and 
efficient an auto truck as suggested above

is what is needed. Then a two or three 
mile run could be made in four or five 
minutes, whereas now it takes ten or 
fifteen minutes, and the ten minutes 
saved means a great deal to the progress 
of a fire. 
While the building involved in last 
Sunday’s fire is not to be classed with 
the “‘valued’’ ones, the force of the 
suggestion is nevertheless obvious. 
A Goop deal has been said about “‘the | 
sad sea waves;’’ but all this is figurative. 
They are, indeed, sad when they swallow 
up human lives; but there is nothing sad 
about them when the sun glints across 
their white crests on a summer afternoon 
and the song of cheer from the merry 
yachtsman is abroad.

Long Island.

the season?—Ghoucester Times.

Correspondence 
Le 
Manchester, Mass., June , 16, 1909. 
Editor North Shore Breeze, 
Manchester, Mass. 
Dear Sir: After reading what your 
paper had to say in the issue of June 4 
on the steps to be taken by the police of 
Manchester toward putting a check on 
auto speeders, and again in last week’s 
paper on the holding up of four parties 
and having them haled into court, I am 
tempted to write this suggestion. 
W ould it not be well, if the Town of 
Manchester wants the automobile laws 
enforced in this town to have signs 
placed in conspicuous places, such as on — 
the line between Manchester and Bey- 
erly, and again at the Gloucester line, 
particularly, letting the automobilists 
know what the speed regulations in the 
town are. ‘This promiscuous holding 
up of visitors in our town simply because 
they have an automobile, and seem to be 
going over a certain rate of speed, is a 
pretty poor kind of advertising for the 
town’ If you are going to hold up a 
man, get out in the open; don’t hide be- 
hind trees and stone walls. 
If you care to publish this I feel that 
you will be expressing the sentiments of 
a great many of your readers.
