Peace At Any Price has been’ the attitude of the 
‘pacificists of Europe, but the price that is eventually paid 
by peace may be greater than that paid by war. War 
is all that Sherman called it and a little more, it is cruel, 
relentless and condemnable. Human sacrifice and suf- 
fering is entailed upon the innocent and often there is but 
little gained by armed conflict. If the present conflict 
will succeed in teaching the nations of the world the use- 
lessness of armed conflict it will be well. But will any- 
thing stop the the aggrandizement policy of Russia? 
How Cruet Apversity Is, relentless and unfeeling, 
throwing its trouble upon men from every side. Presi- 
dent Wilson as a man, has his care now. With the 
Mexican trouble still unsettled, all Europe at war, count- 
less men and women travelers looking to him for help, 
and his companion laying in death—the President has his 
share of trouble. To the President with his care and 
responsibility the American people extend their sympathy 
and kindly interest. 
Tue Unrrep States Must REMAIN NEUTRAL at any 
cost, but it does not appear that the ways of peace are to 
be helped much by hurried attempts to register foreign 
vessels under the American flag. ‘The American people 
cannot afford to run risks. A little caution now may 
save much trouble later. 
Tue Protest Mape By THE TRAVELERS on the ocean 
liners steaming so rapidly through the fog without sound- 
ing the fog horn was justified. In the event of capture 
by an unfriendly vessel the passengers could not be held 
as prisoners. 
Tre Present Conriicr SHows how futile disarma- 
ment would be as a peace policy for the United States. 
While semi-barbarous people resort to arms and force 
the civilized nations must be able to meet them on their 
own ground.

When sightseeing in Salem one of the places which 
tourists never fail to visit is the old John Ward house, 
built in 1684, now standing in the garden of the Essex 
Institute on Essex street, Salem. Aside from the inter- 
est in the old house fitted up with its 17th century fur- 
nishings it is a pleasure to visit Miss Symonds’ quaint 
studio, where she has on exhibition her attractive modeis 
in bas-relief of the beautiful New England doorways, 
‘nteriors and landscape views modelled and hand-painted 
by Miss Symonds. She is the originator of this new art.

To Suppose THAT AMERICA CAN ProspER because 
of an international conflict in Europe is sheer blindness, 
A war in Europe will inevitablly affect the economic pro- 
gress of the whole world and in that loss America must 
suffer with the rest of the world Certain industries in 
America may have a boom due to the international de- 
mands from Europe, but the cessation of industry in Eu- 
rope must affect the economic prosperity of America. 
Wuar A CHANGE one hundred years has accom- 
plished in the affairs of war! The Battle of New Or- 
leans was fought after peace had been agreed upon. Now 
there is the wireless, the telephone, the automobile, the 
aeroplane, the submarine, the men-of-war and improved 
power guns. A war now will be no child’s play! 
So Many MEN anv So Many Lives are being sacri- 
ficed that whatever the outcome of the European struggle, 
industries and trade in Europe will be set back ten years. 
The mutual dependence of nation upon nation will readily 
be seen in the crucial test thrown upon the chemical and 
drug trades. 
THE Loyal AND SuccessFuL Mission of the Con- 
gressman from our district in France for his kinsmen and 
friends reads like a romance. Congressman Gardner will 
receive a royal welcome at Centennial Grove the last of 
the month. 
Tur Facuaty Wits WaicH certain neutrality 
agreements have been violated in the opening scenes of 
armed conflict in Europe does not speak well for the 
sense of national honor that governs these opening war- 
like measures. 
Tue IMMEDIATE AND DIGNIFIED PROCLAMATION of 
neutrality by President Wilson was a relief to the people. 
What a consolation it is that President Wilson and not 
Theodore Roosevelt is at the helm of the ship of state. 
Russta Has INpEED BEEN FRIENDLY to the United 
States but its friendliness has always been diplomatic. 
There has always been a policy in her affection.

The Manila Trading & Supply of Cleveland, which 1s 
operating a branch shop this summer at 63 Front st., 
Marblehead, is showing an extensive line of Oriental 
novelties and wearing apparel at the latter place. Man- 
darin coats, embroidered coats, and linens from India, 
China and Japan are included in the exhibition. Many 
fancy brasses are also shown. The shop is located in the 
Dorothy Ann novelty and tea shop, in the rear of the 
Boston Yacht club.
