showing in so short a time of opera- 
tion. The strange part of the whole 
matter lays in the fact that both 
radical liqu°r element and the radi- 
eal temperance forces oppossed the

great satisfaction to the state to

Gardner or Roosevelt. 
It appears that Mr. Gardner has 
antagonised Mr. Roosevelt for his 
fidelity to the titular head of the 
republican party, Mr. William How- 
ard Taft, or in other words Mr. 
Roosevelt condemns in Mr. Gardner 
the very virtues which Mr. Roose- 
velt has failed to exemplify in his 
own personal relations with Mr. 
William Howard Taft. 
antagonism of Mr. Gardner to which 
Mr. Roosevelt has betrayed himself 
is not destined to help him in Essex 
County. There are many people who 
do not understand the merits of the 
tariff bill, the reciprocity act, the 
recall of judges, the direct primary 
or the referendum, who do under- 
stand the personal failing of per- 
sonal disloyalty and the assumption 
of dictatorial power that is not wor- 
thy of the ex-President of the Unit- 
Me. Roosevelt citizen of 
proprieties of citizenship or of the 
high office of President to dictate to 
this Congressional district who shall 
represent it in Congress. If Mr. 
Roosevelt wishes to establish a dic- 
tatorship in America, he had better 
try his hand in some other district 
than the one now represented by Mr. 
Gardner. Apart from the personal 
merits of Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. 
Gardner the choice of a congress- 
man in this district is intended to 
express the will of the citizens of 
this district and n°t the will of Mr. 
Roosevelt, President aspirant. This 
was faux pas from Mr. Roosevelt 
that even Mr. Roosevelt’s friends 
must regret if not resent. The 
Breeze agrees in the great doctrine 
“let the people rule’’ but it believes 
that the rule ought to be practiced 
as well as preached as a doctrine of 
statesmanship, or used as_ well as 
a bueecaneering tactic to corrall the 
unintelligent by a sl°gan that 
sounds well as an approach but is 
denied in real action. Mr. Roose- 
velt claims that the will of the peo- 
ple should determine the pledge of 
the delegates to the Convention. 
To be consistent with his own doc- 
trine why does he attack Mr. Gard- 
ner. Mr. Gardner’s district is sup- 
ported with unmistakable evidence 
The bitter. 
the candidacy of Mr. Taft. Mr. 
Gardner supported the candidate 
the people of Essex County Sup- 
ported. This was his privilege as a 
citizen and as a Congressman. As 
Mr. Gardner’s district was against 
Mr. Roosevelt and for Mr. Taft 
what quarrel can Mr. Roosevelt 
have except that Mr. Gardner’s 
loyalty has been a great power 
against him because of the confi- 
dence of the district in the judge- 
ment of their congressman. 
Mr. Roosevelt’s attack is a tribute 
to Mr. Gardner’s power and a re- 
velation of the discrepancies which 
exist in Mr. Roosevelt’s explosive 
temperament which advocates as a 
slogan, the will of the people and 
abrogates the implications of that 
great doctrine in attacking his op- 
ponent. Mr. Gardiner is not depen- 
dent upon Mr. Roosevelt for elec- 
tion. This district will do its own 
voting. 
Religious Service for Scandinavians 
On North Shore. 
Editor North Shore Breeze, 
Dear Sir: Will you kindly grant 
space in your columns to request 
all persons of Scandinavian birth or 
affiliations, who are interested in 
the possibilities of holding a_ re- 
ligious service for Scandinavians on 
the North Shore to meet me after 
the evening service at this church, 
next Sunday, June 9, and in the 
church on Friday evening, June 21 
at 8 o’clock. I believe there are 
enough persons of Scandinavian 
birth and relations on the Shore 
during the summer to make such a 
service possible. I shall appreciate 
it if persons who are so interested 
would please send me their own 
name and address and the names of 
all others whom they know, who will 
be on the shore this summer. The 
denominational affiliations of the 
person is of no interest. All are wel- 
come. 
I shall appreciate the co-opera- 
tion of all who may be interested in 
this project and would be glad to 
hear from such or have them consult 
me. It is my conviction that there 
are a large number of Scandinavian 
people who would enjoy a congenial 
religious service with their own peo- 
ple once in two weeks, or oftener, to 
be held probably on an evening in 
the week. 
Yours very sincerely,

Magnolia Hot Baths 
Editor North Shore Breeze 
Dear Sir: Why does not. some en- 
terprising person make arrange- 
ments at the Magnolia Bathing 
beach to have some hot baths? This 
could be easily done and would, no 
doubt, be greatly patronized. These 
baths are invaluable for rheuma- 
tism.

S. S. Convention. 
A district Sunday School conven- 
tion of Wenham, Centreville, Bev- 
erly Farms, Manchester and Mag- 
nolia will be held at the Beverly 
Farms Baptist church on Thursday 
evening, June 13, at 7 o’clock. There 
will be special music by the choir 
and the Bible School orchestra. The 
program for the convention is un- 
excelled and will be of interest to 
every teacher and pupil in the dis- 
tricts. Large groups of scholars and 
teachers will go over to Beverly 
Farms from Wenham, Centerville, 
Beverly, Beverly Farms, Magnolia 
and the other schools in the district. 
The speakers are state superinten- 
dent Hamilton S. Conant, one of if 
not the ablest Sunday School speak- 
er in the state. The other two speak- 
ers are practical and experienced 
men with enviable reputations for 
careful and successful work. The 
excellence of the program has not 
been matched on the Shore for 
years and ought to inspire the most 
enthusiastic attendance. It has a 
long while since a convention has 
been so near the North Shore towns 
as this one at Beverly Farms. A 
large attendance is assurred.
