The Colorado Miners are demanding a ten per cent. 
increase in wages, an eight-hour day, payment for so- 
called dead work, miners’ checkers in the weight houses, 
the right to trade anywhere and the enforcement of the 
Colorado mine laws. All of the demands seem reason- 
able save the first, but that is the real casus belli. To 
have liberty is the righteous demand the publie glad- 
ly recognizes, but shall employers be denied the right 
of hiring labor in their own market? Unionism has 
done much for workmen, but it ought not to endanger 
its efficacy and power by unjust and unreasonable de- 
mands. 
The Larger Churches of Boston have objected to 
the drawing of parish lines. These objections were to 
be expected. There is an underlying principle, how- 
ever, that cannot be sacrificed. Because one lives in 
a certain territory and is affiliated with a certain de- 
nomination must that one perforce attend the church 
that is nearest geographically? Would this not be an 
infringement of personal liberty? Is not personal re- 
ligious liberty necessary to our community life? 
Charles Woodbury, citizen of Beverly, is no more. 
Three organizations in Beverly owe him a debt of grat- 
itude not easily estimated, The Historical society, The 
Hospital corporation and the Masonic lodge. 
Affairs Are Turning well in the Mexico embroglio 
unless some foolhardy individual on either side makes 
a bad blunder that will upset the peace plans being 
formulated. 
The Oliver Wendell Holmes memorial on the Char- ) 
les River parkway is assured. The list of contributors 
to the work reads like the Blue Book of the Shore. 
The Shore will be silent this summer. The chug- 
chug of unmuffled exhausts on motor boats must cease. 
The edict is to be enforced by a systematic police patrol. 
The Hyacinths are gone, the jonquils are passing 
and the tulips and May flowers have the field. The 
season comes on. 
The Extension Service of the Massachusetts Agri- 
cultural college is worthy of commendation. 
The War of the Roses has begun, yellow vs. red. 
Non-combatants wish them both well. 
John D. Rockefeller has refused to arbitrate with 
the Colorado strikers; but the strikers claim the own- 
ership of the mines and its products. Does capital have 
no rights? Must the rights of private property be sac- 
rificed to the strikers? The demands for higher wages 
are not unreasonable, but to demand the ownership of 
property by confiscation is nothing short of robbery. 
Capital may often be unjust, but labor must be careful 
lest it also sin. 
The Power and Policy of Robert A. Woods is show- 
ing itself in the work of the police commission of Bos- 
ton. Anyone who knows anything about the hotel 
problem in a certain section of Boston cannot but ap- 
prove the new policy now established by the police 
powers. ; 
To Arch the Tower of the Old South. church to a- 
ford room on the Washington street sidewalk, Boston, 
is feasible. No one regrets Mayor Curley’s objections, 
however! The historic spire should not be desecrated! 
All Wars have back of them an economic impulse, 
although such an impulse may not be the leading mo- 
tive. ‘The archaic land tenure policy in Mexico is more 
to blame for the revolution than at first appears. 
The Second White House wedding does not have 
the news value it might have if it were the first one- 
in the administration and if there were not a Mexican 
problem. cil Se aia 
Mother’s Day will be with us on the coming Sun- ~ 
day. There was a contest of roses, but everyone will 
wear the white flower with pleasure and commendable 
respect. 
The Heavy Railroad traffic in and out of Lynn on 
Saturday evenings is the price the North Shore pays 
for Lynn’s license policy. 
The Scout Master way well commend the boys of 
Manchester. The service the lads rendered was worthy 
of praise. 
The United States has sunk $375,000,000 in the 
Panama Canal, but the investment has been well made. 
Unimpeachable Integrity is the demand every com- 
munity must make of the guardians of its peace. 
The A. B. C. Powers are going to take the D out 
of our foreign difficulties with diplomacy. 
Do not eriticize the old town unless you can offer 
a remedy. 
It is sometimes better to look the bull over before 
taking him by the horns. 
When a man feels that he is doing his duty he does 
not often worry about losing his job. 
Prosperty cannot be much of a comfort when a 
fellow is always too busy to enjoy it. 
Because a woman’s hat supports a bird of paradise - 
it is no sign that she is an angel. 
The real fountain of youth never has a grape juice 
flavor. 
Every woman should be willing to either cook for 
her husband or pay his board. 
It is often more difficult for a married man than 
it is for a politician to redeem his promises.
