NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 45 
Watcu Mexico! It is now becoming a hot-bed of 
insurrection and trouble. The recall of Amb. Wilson for 
a conference with the President after the receipt of a 
note from the powers of Europe does not look promising. 
The situation is acute and lovers of peace may well fear. 
But President Wilson has proven himself a cautious 
man and public sentiment in America is adverse to war, 
consequently there is a reasonable hope that these rea- 
sons for fears may be off-set by these two checks upon 
hasty action by our government. The age of war has past 
and the era of peace has come. America, and this means 
our Washington government, has an enviable opportunity 
to give the world a striking illustration of the powers of 
Christian diplomacy. 
THERE 1s No ONE with heart so hard but what 
pities the unfortunate family that was obliged to render 
their last comforts to the member of their family at 
Bridgewater. It is one of the ironies of fate that death 
robbed the Executive of an opportunity to grant a par- 
don. But such tragic consequences ought not blind the 
eye to the heinousness of the wrongs done by the man 
who brought this state of affairs upon himself and _ his 
family. The time for a man to think of his family is be- 
fore he has stained his hands with criminal deeds. It 
is a striking illustration of the folly of dishonest gains 
and a lamentable incident of the truth old as society that 
no man lives to himself. The man whom death overtook 
suffered much for his wrong but they that were his suf- 
fered more. 
THe N&tw ENGLAND STATES are sadly remiss in 
their failure to do more to develop the summer indus- 
tries which nature has so wonderfully encouraged. It 
is a short-sighted policy that the states are pursuing in 
laying back upon the energies and activities of publicity 
departments of the railroads. Municipalities do not hesi- 
tate to encourage great industries to establish themselves 
within their borders. The States have greater rights and 
privileges. No one would advocate the employment of 
an advertising agent. The state’s \best advertisement 
would be activities tending to develop these natural re- 
sources. It can be done and ought to be done.

At THE SEM1-CENTENARY SERVICE of the Battle of 
Gettysburg at the Beverly Farms church, on a recent Sun- 
day there was a happy coincidence. In Major Higginson’s 
address a glowing tribute was paid to a Minnesota regi- 
ment. Captain James A. Wright was the second speaker 
and when he was presented to the audience he had the 
pleasure of telling Major Higginson that he was an or- 
derly sergeant in that Minnesota regiment. At the close 
of the address Major Higginson arose and grasped the 
hand of the Captain with a cordiality that was unmistak- 
able. 
A Sicnar Honor has come to a North Shore resi- 
dent,—Mrs. Henry W. Peabody from the Baptist denom- 
ination. She has been appointed foreign representative 
to the mission field. The work will be progressive and 
in the interests of unity of missionary activities. How 
ever slow progress may be upon the home field the unity 
of the Christian church is making great strides abroad. 
MANCHESTER AND BEVERLY Farms by virtue of the 
broad and progressive policy of the residents of the two 
towns in relations to the beach areas have been spared 
the unfortunate condition of affairs at Newburyport where 
a decision of the supreme court has been necessary to 
evict “squatters” upon the water front. 
THE CALIFORNIAN CoMMISSIONS offer a prize of one

A Great Hicuway from Boston to Rockport, state- 
owned and maintained by the state is an inevitable solu-

North Shore is the place to live; yes, summer and winter.

out into the harbor for more than 100 
feet, where a view of the bay, Salem, 
Marblehead and the numerous islands 
may be obtained,—this is a place of 
more value than all the money in the

Across the little harbor is Smith’s

not the least repulsive or objectionable 
to the pleasures or comforts of our 
summer visitors. 
The continued fireworks in the 
town affairs of Revere reminds the 
Rambler of an incident which he wit- 
nessed in the company of several 
other near-journalists from Boston pa- 
pers two years ago. The Revere pols 
were having one of their star-cham- 
ber sessions and as usual, were con- 
sidering the resignation of one of their

ing slowly until one reporter who had 
fallen asleep, woke up suddenly and 
fairly shouted “liar!” following the 
remarks of one of the speakers. This 
might lead one to believe that he was 
out of his mind, but the word is 
spoken so many times in Revere town 
meetings that it was perhaps a par- 
donable offense. Needless to say, the 
reporter was informed that his pres- 
ence was not necessary to the meeting.
