At Last! 
The news from the City Hall in 
Beverly that a comprehensive plan 
of sidewalk construction in Beverly 
Farms had been made was like a 
cup of cold water to.a thirsty trav- 
eler, to the residents of Ward Six. 
The Street Commission’s position 
explaining the delay in using the 
appropriation is the inability of the 
residents of the ward to agree on the 
method of sidewalk construction. 
The work will soon be under way. 
Beginning near the depot sidewalks 
will be constructed on the streets 
most frequently used. If the plan 
be adhered to there will be uniform 
sidewalks in Beverly Farms from 
the Manchester line to Beverly 
Cove. The three thousand dollars 
now available will be used and 
Beverly Farms will begin to receive 
some attention from City Hall. 
How Beverly Farms envies the side- 
walk policy and successes in Man- 
chester! The committee of the 
Beverly Improvement Society which 
started the movement for an in- 
creased sidewalk appropriation are 
to be congratulated in obtaining the 
largest sidewalk appropriation Bey- 
erly Farms has ever obtained in any 
one year. But the appropriation is 
for this year only and care should 
be taken that the annual budget for 
some years to come has a sidewalk 
item for Beverly Farms, otherwise 
the fruits of this year’s victory will 
be only temporary. 
Dr. Butler on the Convention 
The analysis of the contests at 
Chicago which nominated President 
Taft, made by President Nicholas 
Murray Butler of Columbia Univer- 
sity is characteristically fair. Such 
sentences as: ‘‘every contest was 
decided fairly and squarely by the 
national committee, and later by the 
committee on credentials, and final- 
ly by the convention itself. The 
country ought to know and all re- 
publican and independent voters 
who feel disposed to support Mr. 
Taft ought to know just what the 
facts are’’ and ‘‘no delegate whose 
seat was in contest was permitted 
to vote on his own ease’’ are illum- 
inating and the high authority 
from which they come will bear 
much weight against the vile twist- 
ings of the facts which have ap- 
peared in yellow journals. 
The hight which Dr. Butler throws 
on the California contest should con- 
vince every thinking citizen who 
will bring to the facts a fair and 
open mind, It will be remembered 
that California is cited by the un- 
named and unborn party as ‘“‘stol- 
en.’’? ‘‘On that question I have not 
an instant’s doubt. To deprive them 
(California delegates) of their seats 
would mean not only that the Re- 
publican national convention is here- 
after to establish the unit rule, with 
all its shocking unfairness, but the 
legislatures in democratic states shall 
have power to dictate how the repub- 
lican convention shall be made up. 
By its action in the California case 
the convention served notice that, 
where presidential preference prim- 
ary laws are enacted, they must not 
attempt to deprive separate congres- 
sional districts of the right of repre- 
sentation to which party law and 
party precedent entitle them.’’ Such 
concise statements of the real facts 
clear the air. The cry of a dishonest 
convention is in keeping only with 
the ward politics of a cheap city. 
The presence of so many Italians 
along the shore, as the result of the 
demand for unskilled labor, pre- 
sents serious obligations to the com- 
munities where they take up their 
residence. Any movement to im- 
prove their lot should be encouraged 
by the public. The only hope of 
America for the future lays in 
inspiring the minds of the young and 
new immigrants with the ideals and 
responsibilities of American citizen- 
ship. 
Ambassador Guild has declined to 
enter the arena and contest the nom- 
ination for the senate. This is in 
line with his previous position of be- 
ing unwilling to be a ‘‘faction’’ can- 
didate. There is every reason why 
ex-Governor Guild should be elected. 
The dignified position which he has 
taken recalls the honorable politi- 
cal contests of other years. 
Congressman Gardner, candidate 
for re-election from this district, has 
declined to run for the senate. The 
congressman has been marked for 
defeat by T. R., but fortunately that 
matter is to be decided by the voters 
of this district. Congressman Gard- 
ner’s return is assured. 
An advertiser in the North Shore 
Breeze wants ‘‘A second hand boy’s 
bicyele.’’ For an adopted boy, 
probably.—Salem Evening News. 
Which shows that even busy news- 
paper men read the Breeze classified 
advertising columns. Advertising 
in the Breeze pays. 
The sale of a portion of the Henry 
Lee estate at Beverly Farms is but 
a prophesy of the future possibilities 
of that matchless sea view estate. 
What a site for the Summer White 
House the remaining plot would 
make! 
The Montserrat Country Fair is 
already a success! All roads will 
lead to the Montserrat Golf Club 
Saturday. Be on the road! Do not 
‘miss the day! 
The North Shore is experiencing 
the busiest weeks of the year. From 
marketman to tennis player, through 
all the. varying stages of business 
and pleasure, one and all is BUSY.
