Graduation. 
The academic year has ended and 
the teachers of the public schools 
in Manchester have rendered an ac- 
counting of the trust placed in their 
charge. As the result of the hard 
and patient work of the year, the 
people of Manchester have every 
reason to be satisfied with the ad- 
ministration of its schools. The 
High School graduation was an hon- 
or to the studious habits and per- 
severance of the young people in 
the Senior Class and a credit to the 
faculty of the School and a tribute 
to the policy and administration of 
the School Committee. But years 
of experience will have been  ac- 
quired before the pupils, however 
bright, will have learned the real 
value of the training which they 
have acquired. For it will be in the 
harsh school of experience that the 
true worth of their school training 
and of their honorable ideals will 
be demonstrated. The address by 
Dr. E. Charlton Black was singu- 
larly appropriate and valuable. I+ 
is well that the constant aim of the 
instruction of School is reinforced

at graduation, there is no ‘‘Palm of 
Victory without the dust of Strug- 
ele.’’ Dr. Black has had a brilliant 
career and as Professor of English 
at Boston University has lived a life 
of inspiring zeal to the many stu- 
dents who have sought his influence 
and instruction in the class room. 
The inspiration and the truth which 
he presented will abide in the minds 
of those who heard the address long 
after the mind has forgotten who 
opened the new path to knowledge, 
courage and life. 
The Republican Party Platform 
The platform of any party is of 
primary importance because the 
United States is committed to the 
policy of government by parties. 
One of the serious problems under- 
lying the contest in Chicago has 
been the question whether the Re- 
publican party should abandon its 
policy of party rule or transfer the 
prestige and power of the conven- 
tion to the control of an individual 
to satisfy his personal ambitions. 
The outcome of the struggle in Chi- 
cago was the reassertion of the 
integrity of the party and to record 
disapproval of the Republican par- 
ty to the rising demand of a gov- 
ernment by and for individuals or 
an individual. The party has al- 
ways asserted its definite policy and 
then sought the man who could ex- 
ecute the policies as their represen- 
tative in the presidency. Conse- 
quently the President of the United 
States is not only the Governmental 
head of the nation but he is also 
the titular head of the party which 
has elected him on their platform. 
The platform of the Republican 
party this year was carefully writ- 
ten despite the confusion of the Con- 
vention days and should be ecareful- 
ly read by every voter, whether 
republican, democratic or prohibi- 
tionist,.or socialist. The document 
is not long. The platform scores 
the recall of judges and maintains 
the ‘Taft doctrine of the validity and 
necessity of loyalty to the Constitu- 
tion. It recommends a careful and 
conservative investigation of the 
courts with the end in view of les- 
sening the expense and difficulty of 
determining and executing justice. 
President Taft’s determined fight for 
world’s peace is also incorporated in 
a plank. The passage of just and 
execution of just anti-trust laws is

favored and new legislation advo- 
eated. The Republican plank of 
tariff for protection as well as rev- 
enue is reaffirmed. A revision of 
the banking laws is also suggested. 
The prohibition of corporation con- 
tributions was embodied in another 
plank. It is evident even in a eas- 
ual reading that the Conservative 
element in the Republican won a 
decisive victory not only in the 
choice of Mr. Taft but in the formu- 
lation of the Party Platform. : 
The Horticultural Society 
The North Shore Horticultural 
Society is rendering valuable ser- 
vice to the Shore and should _ re- 
ceive the support and encouarge- 
ment of every lover of nature and 
gardens and the progress of the 
gardener’s art. The Show of Straw- 
berries and Roses was of unusual 
merit this year and was a credit to 
the committee having the matter in 
charge and to the organization 
whose policy made the exhibit pos- 
sible. 
The North Shore lost its fight for 
a more convenient evening train 
later than the present train leaving 
Rockport at 6.22, but the train serv- 
ice department of the Boston and 
Maine railroad understands the need 
of the new train and when the traf- 
fic warrants the additional train the 
management assures the publie that 
the service will be forthcoming. Un- 
fortunately the only way to deter- 
mine whether the new train would 
be profitable is to try it. 
President Taft’s brave stand 
against the use of the power of pat- 
ronage of the Government for polit- 
ical purposes will long be remem- 
bered after the heat of the Battle of 
Chicago has passed away. The 
temptations were great, but be it 
said to the President’s honor that 
he did not yield. This is a splendid 
tribute to his sense of honor and his 
respect for the highest office in the 
gift of the American people. 
The band concert season has re- 
turned and the pleasure these con- 
certs give justifies the policy of the 
Town of Manchester in maintaining 
them.
