Ir BeHooves THE CrtIzENS of Manchester to bestir 
themselves and show their enthusiasm for the effort on 
the part of the Arbella club—the youngest organization 
among us—to bring about a series of musicales this com- 
ing winter. The Arbella club has already shown a gen- 
erous spirit by giving us a joyous Christmas, and the 
universal response and help which has been given to 
them by the citizens of Manchester—both old and young 
--tempts them to try this venture. The charge to be 
made for the series of six concerts—which, by the way 
are to be given the first Saturday afternoon of each 
month from November to April, inclusive—is nominal,— 
$1.50 for the series, While the income from the sale of 
season tickets could not begin to pay the total expense, 
the club undertakes this with the hope of a general re- 
sponse of the citizens; the club will meet any deficit out 
of their treasury. The Breeze hopes for success of the 
Arbella club, and that their motto, ‘““A Friendly Circle ot 
Girls,” may be exemplified and appreciated in this move 
to the degree that their efforts will be crowned with glory 
and that the Arbella Concerts will become a part of the 
routine life of the village, just as much so as the Christ- 
mas celebration is a recognized feature of the life of the 
community every year. Let everyone respond quickly! 
Tuer CLERGYMEN of all of the churches on the North 
Shore united last Sunday in presenting the interests of 
the Beverly Hospital. Ministers of. every denomination 
spoke in high praise of the efficient service that that insti- 
tution is giving this district. Envelopes were distributed 
im all the churches and these will be returned by the par- 
ishoners on next Sunday. The contributions should be 
large and generous and everyone should place as gener- 
ous an offering as he can in his or her envelope and re- 
turn it next Sunday. 
THe Unirep SHOR MACHINERY CoMPANY is being 
sued again by the government under the provisions of the 
Clayton Act. If the suit does not present more valid 
charges than are apparent it is not unlikely that the suit 
will be dismissed as have all the other government suits 
against its policy. If the government has a case it should 
be pushed to the end and justice demanded. If there i: 
no case the company should be freed from the malicious 
results of harmful suits. 
THe UNtversAtists of Beverly have completed 
seventy-five years of successful work in the City of Bev- 
erly and are now commemorating the anniversary. he 
cenomination has won a place for itself in the religious 
interests of the city. What changes have been wrought 
in public opinion during the last seventy-five years! The 
joy of religious toleration is growing and well may it! 
Tue War HAs Soserep off everyone. © Who has not 
felt the heaviness of spirit that its ravages have entailed. 
It has been a severe lesson, but the war has taught the 
world the follies of discontent, hatred and commercial 
greed. 
Now Tuat THE RED Sox team has been victorious 
and the coveted championship has been won the out-door 
sporting enthusiasts are turning their attention to the 
gridiron. Will Harvard or Yale be the victor this year? 
SAN Francisco is jealous of its business reputation 
and hastens to inform the world that the World’s Fair 
has been a financial success, Good for ’Frisco in every 
sense. -

SPEAKING oF. WoMAN SUFFRAGE Elihu Root says: 
“Suffrage would be a loss for women. I think so because 
suffrage implies not merely the casting of the ballot, but 
suffrage, if it means anything, means entering upon the 
field of political life, and politics is modified war. In 
politics there is struggle, strife, contention, bitterness, 
heart-burning, excitement, agitation, everything which is 
adverse to the’ true character:of woman... .... It is 
a great mistake, it is a fatal mistake that these excellent 
women make when they conceive that the functions of 
nien are superior to theirs and seek to usurp them. The 
true government is in the family. The true throne is in 
the household. The highest exercise of power is that 
which forms the conscience, influences the will, controls 
the impulses of men, and there today woman is supreme 
and woman rules the world. The time will never come 
wnen this line of demarcation between the functions of 
the two sexes will be broken down, I believe it to be 
false philosophy; I believe that it is an attempt to turn 
backward upon the line of social development, and that 
it the step ever be taken, we go centuries backward on 
the march towards a higher, a nobler and a purer civiliza- 
tion, which must be found not in the confusion, but in 
the higher differentiation of the sexes.” 
Rev, DeWirt S. Ciark, D.D., will resign his pas- 
torate in Salem on Jan. 1, and will then become pastor 
emeritus. Dr. Clark has been and still is a man of large 
influence and broad Christian sympathies. His work in 
Salem has been crowned with success. In these days of 
snort pastorates and restlessness his long pastorate of 
thirty-seven years is in itself a striking testimony to his 
stability, merit and influence. While not strong enough 
to maintain all the cares of an active ministry Dr. Clarke 
is enjoying fair health and it is the hope of the host of 
his friends within the church and in the larger parish of 
the community that he may live many years to enjoy life. 
Tuer ANGLO-FRENCH LOAN is being assimilated grad- 
ually and in a short duration of time the bonds should be 
ir the hands of permanent investors. The market will 
not be firm until the bonds have reached the hands of 
their final owners. There has not been a safer bond is- 
sue offered to investors for years and it is evident that 
the Amerian investors realize it, judging by the rapidity 
with which the issue was underwritten. 
ONE OF THE SuRpPRISES of the war is the attitude 
which Greece is taking. Every inherited interest of 
that plucky little nation would seem to impel them to 
throw their interests with the Allies, but unfortunately 
nothing has transpired. What will Greece do? 
Despite THE Fact that the Bulgarian incident has 
had a dramatic influence for the time being it is neverthe- 
less only a minor incident in the great conflict. The is- 
sues of this contest are not to be fought out in the Balkan 
states. The war will be settled on the east and west 
fronts.

cub was begun in Dorchester indicates that despite the 
hard times, there is some money moving and going :o

_ Tue News Reports state that the Bulgars have been 
thrown back; but will they stay back? They ought not 
to have menaced their own future by their misstep in en- 
tering the- fight. =" ;
