Nor ALONE ON THE NortuH Suore has the past sum- 
mer season been one of the best in years, but from all 
parts of New England, which are gathering points for 
vacationists, come reports of an exceptional summer. 
Maine and New Hampshire report unprecedented crowds 
at the hotel resorts and the cottage colonies everywhere 
in New England have gathered in increased numbers and 
are remaining long into the autumn season. An important 
part has been played by the automobile. Countless tour- 
ists from the Middle West and the Pacific coast have this 
season enjoyed a New England summer for the first time. 
The later opening of the schools this year has had its 
influence upon the length of the season and has given 
many an opportunity to enjoy the fine early autumn days 
at the various resorts. There is no exaggeration in the 
statement of hotel men that more people than ever before 
have summered in New England’s vacation states. Some 
of this influx can be traced to the advertising campaign 
for all New England conducted last spring. Another 
season, it may safely be said, a more intelligent campaign, 
started earlier in the year, and nation-wide in scope will 
be carried out by those most interested in promoting New 
England as a vacation land. 
SLtow.Ly, Bur Most Surery, the end of the world 
war is approaching. It is certain that the great struggle 
has run more than half its course and, should it not come 
to a close for another two years, the time for America’s 
preparation for the post-bellum problems is all too limited. 
Two distinct problems are slowly crystalizing in the mass 
of changed conditions due to the war: What will happen 
to American industry when the hand of war releases its 
grip upon the throat of industrial Europe and the products 
of foreign factories begin to pour into our markets? 
What shall we do to take care of the tremendous tide of 
im‘nigration sure to follow the close of the war? The 
return of the Republican party and the restoration of a 
protective tariff will assist in the solution of the first prob- 
lem. The answer to the second question remains open. 
SENATOR ALBERT J> BEVERIDGE, who has been making 
his home on our shore, opened the republican campaign 
with vigor last week. The administration was severely 
arraigned for its short-comings and the failings of the 
party policy revealed. It was all together an auspicious 
occasion. 
Tue Funp For THE RetieF Work for children crip- 
pled by infantile paralysis is still growing. Mrs. John 
Hays Hammond is still industriously advancing the move- 
ment. Have you done your little mite? 
SEPTEMBER WeEN?T Our’, with a record of pleasant 
weather. May October do as well. There is an Indian 
Summer still to come. 
GasoLINgé Has Nor been an economical fuel this year 
and the expense has kept down the consumption by pleas- 
ure vehicles. In business it has been indispensable. 
Scientists have long considered the possibility of some 
substitute that will do the work as effectively and more 
economically. Kerosene is now out of the question. The 
carbon in it and the difficulties of carburetion make it un- 
available. Dr. Arthur Little of Boston tells the Chem- 
ists’ conference that alcohol is the hope of the future. If 
alcohol can be easily adapted to motor purposes and a 
suitable and economical carburetor put upon the market 
it will be possible to provide millions of gallons of alcohol. 
It is believed that the sawdust alone will in the yellow 
pine districts be able to yield more than a half a million 
of gallons a day. 
most unlimited.» Alcohol, however, will never displace 
gasoline. It may be used as a substitute with advantage, 
but the gasoline motor has advantages that alcohol never 
can have. It would not be a bad thing, economically, for 
America if all its alcohol were used for motor purposes. 
Crepit Is Now Berne Given, although tardily, to 
Theodore Roosevelt for his effective check upon the 
activities of the German Government in its efforts to 
obtain a foothold in the Venezuelan Territory. Germany 
intended, it is now believed, to seize a section of the coast 
and protect it after the plan of Kiauchau. Diplomatic 
efforts failed and Roosevelt forwarded to Dewey, who 
was in command of the fleet in the West Indies waters, 
orders to be ready for action in an hour’s notice and sent 
for the representative of the German Government. Con- 
vinced that “Teddy” was not bluffing, the representative 
‘ommunicated with his home office and the German stroke 
was never consummated. The honor belongs to Roosevelt 
and to John Hays. It was a creditable master stroke! 
TuHere Have Been Ax Sorts of campaigns inaug- 
urated by improvement societies and local municipal so- 
cieties, but there is a novel and commendable movement 
on foot fot the week. It is called “Tear down week.” 
Volunteers are requested to cooperate in tearing down 
tin, wood, cloth and paper advertisements from shade 
trees. There is nothing more unsightly than the shade 
trees of a community thus marred. Fortunately the 
shade trees of our Shore have been quite free from the 
advertisement nuisance because dealers have begun to 
learn that public sentiment is against such methods and it 
brands the spirit of the company promoting that sort of 
publicity. 
Ir Is StiL, THE TIME to swat the fly! October is a 
particularly trying month to housekeepers and merchants, 
In the summer the flies find warmth and food out of 
doors, but the cool October evenings send the flies to 
shelter and the menace increases and: the housekeeper must 
be alert. Once they are under cover the flies hibernate 
and spring will show the results of laxity in fighting the 
pest in October. October is the time to swat the fly. 
Tue Time Is Comine when it will be possible for 
automobilists to motor from Rockport to Boston along 
a Shore road. The route through Salem must some day 
be changed and a boulevard constructed. Fall River and 
Salem hold unenviable reputations for poor roads through 
their precincts. 
THE PRoGRESsIvVES OF MAssacHuserts have heartily, 
endorsed the candidacy of Charles Evans Hughes. Mr. 
Hughes will be elected, but in the event of his defeat he 
will have accomplished a great feat,— that of uniting ae 
republican forces again under the old standard.
