Vol. X July 5, 1912 No. 27 
Welcome to Our President. 
The enthusiastic weleome which 
President Taft received yesterday 
morning upon his arrival on the 
North Shore was befitting the dig- 
nity of the Garden City and the hon- 
or due the distinguished summer 
resident, the President of the United 
States. The demonstration was 
peculiarly appropriate in view of 
President Taft’s recent political and 
personal triumph, against heavy 
and unjust odds, during the last few 
months. Retiring in temperament, 
republican in his tastes, and dislik- 
ing pomp and ceremony President 
Taft has, hitherto, conscientiously 
and firmly but courteously forbid- 
den public demonstrations in _ his 
honor upon his arrival at Paramat- 
ta. This year, after the persistent 
request of the citizens of Beverly, he 
broke the rule which he had made 
for himself and the weleome which 
he received was so cordial that it 
ought to do his soul good in view of 
the terrible mind and heart strain to 
which he has so reeently been  sub- 
jected. 
President Taft has received

the Presidential nomination and will 
be elected to succeed himself after 
the campaign of Education. The 
Republican party has marvelous re- 
cuperative powers and the campaign 
of the fall of 1912 will demonstrate 
this in-an unmistakable way. The 
honored president of the United 
States is worthy of the ‘‘republican 
welcome accorded him.,’’ 
Tempting Death. 
The modern aviation meet and au 
tomobile race are as tragic and dan- 
gerous as the unseemly sport of 
bull baiting in Spain. It is a la- 
mentable state of affairs that exists 
when sport-seeking mobs are will- 
ing to purchase their amusement at 
the possible price of other persons’ 
lives. There is a moral question in- 
volved which forbids such exhibi- 
tions for the lust of gold if there be 
no legal restraint. 
With Governor Wilson as_ the 
Democratic candidate for the Presi- 
deney and President Taft as candi 
date to sueceed himself, the oppor- 
tunities for an aggressive following 
in the new Progressive Party with 
Mr. Roosevelt as the candidate, are 
minimized. There can be no reason- 
able opportunity for his success for 
the regular nominee of the demv- 
cratic party is also a radical and 
the possibility of Mr. Roosevelt slip- 
ping into the presidency by gains 
from both parties is made practical- 
ly impossible. The conservative ele- 
ment in both parties will stand by 
the Taft policies while the indepen- 
dent radical vote will be split be- 
tween Mr. Wilson and Mr. Roose- 
velt. It is not hard to pick the win- 
ner this year. 
The churches of the North Shore 
have severe problems to meet and it 
is a consistent summer resident and 
church attendant that assists the lo- 
eal churehes during the summer 
months by the influence of their 
presence in the pews. The summer 
resort, of all places, requires the 
powerful influence of righteousness 
and every believer in the communal 
well being should assist and not hin- 
der the religious interests of the 
community. 
Even the beautiful North Shore 
is not to be free from the bill board 
nuisance. :

It is a wise graduate who has the 
sand or the ability to accept advice 
and refuses the comparatively high 
wages for a ‘‘summer job’’ with no 
opportunity for progress, for a sit- 
uation with small wages and pros- 
pects for advancement. Parents 
should enforce the wisdom of exper- 
ience upon the inexperienced be- 
ginners—if they ean. 
It is a strange paradox, but never- 
theless true, that the head of many 
mansions formally interested in so- 
cial reforms and communal welfare 
improvement are among the sinners 
against the rights of humanity. There 
exists a social problem on the North 
Shore from May 1 to November 1 
that would worry an expert. 
The degrees of the June _ season 
were numerous, but none were more 
notable than those conferred upon 
Mr. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes 
and Mr. Henry Lee Higginson. The 
degrees of Doctor of Law were 
worthily bestowed and in honoring 
them Amherst honored itself. There 
was no abuse of the ‘‘degree habit’’ 
in these honors: 
The public have been benefited by 
the vigorous service rendered by the 
Russell Sage foundation in prosecut- 
ing a loan shark under the New 
York statute and carrying the ap- 
peal to the highest state court. The 
court’s decision is final and is a so 
cial triumph. 
The owners of estates have grave 
responsibilities to the community 
that have been seriously overlooked 
in the past. The character and mor- 
al worth of the ‘‘assistance’’ they 
bring in is as necessary a considera” 
tion for the best 
shore as skill in any line of service. 
The recent merger of the Travel 
er-Herald in a new evening paper 
has made possible a new paper oth- 
erwise impossible. The new merger 
has a field all its own and if it main- 
tains its initial excellence its future 
is assured. 
The misplaced confidence in so- 
cialism as a religion and as a sub- 
stitute for the message of the church 
is history repeating itself- Positiv- 
ism failed, so will Socialism.
