THE proposed new electric railroad 
from Beverly to Boston will bea great 
benefit to the North Shore in furnishing 
quick transportation to business men who 
must go and come every day. 
We can foresee the probability that 
most of the shore residents in Beverly 
Cove, Pride’s, Wenham and Hamilton, 
and even Beverly Farms and Manches- 
ter, will find it to their advantage to 
drive up to Beverly and take oneof these 
swift, modern electric trains direct to 
Boston, where they alight in the heart of 
the city, via underground tunnel to Post- 
office Square. 
The Boston & Eastern’s engineers 
plan to have trains go from Beverly to 
Postoffice Square, Boston, in 23 minutes. 
This will not only be a saving of from 
23 to 30 minutes in the present average 
time required to reach the heart of Bos- 
ton, but it will save the transfer to the 
elevated trains in the North Union sta- 
tion, always rather unpleasant on account

of the ill-ventilated waiting room, the 
great amount of traffic encountered in 
crossing the street, and the climb up- 
stairs to the elevated train. It will also 
be cheaper, the contemplated fare being 
22 cents on five-fare tickets, instead of 
30, from Salem. 
All the preliminary engineering plans 
were completed some time ago and the 
approval of those plans by the Massa- 
chusetts Railroad commission has been 
secured. So the building of the railroad 
is now regarded asa certainty. 
The only unfinished link is the per- 
mission to construct a tunnel under Bos- 
ton harbor to make entrance to the city, 
the petition for which is now before the 
Mass. Legislature being heard by the 
joint committee of the Senate and House. 
Ir doesn’t look just right! The state 
law relative to moth suppression says the 
town of Manchester must spend $5000.00 
the coming year; Essex, adjoining, must 
spend $436.53. 
Now everybody knows that Manches- 
ter hasn’t almost twelve times as much 
woodland as Essex; nor six times as 
much; nor three times as much. We 
do not dispute that Manchester can af- 
ford to spend $5000.00 about as well as 
Essex can afford to spend $436.53, but 
the fact remains that effective work can- 
not be done if one town does its work 
thoroughly and the adjoining town only 
half does its work. If Manchester and 
Essex adjoin the same work must be 
done across the line into Essex as on the 
Manchester side of the line if best results 
are to be obtained. 
A wor.p’s fair in Boston! The 
Herald last Sunday announced the incep- 
tion of a movement to commemorate by 
an International Exposition in Boston, 
in 1920, the three hundredth anniver- 
sary of the Landing of the Pilgrims and 
the Founding of New England. Steps 
are being taken to establish a permanent 
organization, which should represent the 
leading financial, commercial, industrial, 
educational, artistic and religious inter- 
ests of New England, for the consum- 
mation of this project.

has been designated Arbor Day by Gov- 
ernor Draper, in accordance with the 
law. Says the proclamation: “‘I urge 
all the people of the commonwealth, 
who are so situated that they can do so, 
either to plant a new tree, or properly 
care for some existing one, on Arbor 
Day.’’ 
““The value of a paper’s advertising 
depends on the character of its circula- 
tion—that is, whether it is a home read 
paper or one read only in street cars and 
other public places.’’

** Five thousand souvenir hunters vis- 
ited Beverly today and carried off parts 
of President Taft’s summer home with 
them,’’ said Monday’s Post. ‘‘To- 
night Hospital Point looks like a big pic- 
nic ground—littered with lunch boxes, 
wads of paper, half-eaten sandwiches, 
pie crusts, bottles and similar articles 
rather inappropriate on the sacred do- 
main destined for the “summer cap- 
ital nes 
That might have been’ expected. 
Where was the Beverly police? 
In spite of paid articles circulated 
throughout the country to give the muni- 
cipal lighting plant at Peabody a black 
eye, and in spite also, of the local 
shouters who favor private monopoly, 
the citizens of Peabody voted this week, 
about 4 to 1, to keep their plant and im- 
prove it, rather than to purchase from a 
private company. ‘They evidently be- 
lieve that they know their own _ business 
better than do certain interested parties 
who would like to see all municipal light- 
ing plants abolished to the end that pri- 
vate companies may have the whole field. 
Good for Peabody.—IJpswich Chronicle. 
We notice that our former townsman, 
Rev. D. F. Lamson is a contributor to 
the Springfield Republican, one of the 
most widely read and influential New 
England’ journals. Its weekly edition 
dates from 1824. It gained a national 
reputation under Samuel Bowles and later 
under Dr. J. G. Holland; a grandson of 
Samuel Bowles is the present editor, un- 
der whom the paper well sustains its 
former prestige. The senior Bowles 
wrote for the Republican a series of arti- 
6c E ; 
cles, Across the Continent,’’ an ac- 
count of an overland journey to the 
Pacific long before the days of the Pacific 
railroads, which commanded general in- 
terest, and were later published in book 
form.
