Edward B. Jordan, appointed Post- 
master at Pride’s Crossing last week, 
to succeed Elisha Pride, a republican, 
who has held down the job for the 
past 16 years, has declined to accept 
the appointment. His reasons are, 
as figured out by Mr. Jordan, that 
there is only one more year of the 
present democratic government and 
if the republican party should win at 
the next presidential election, he 
would be called upon to give up the 
position as he thinks it doubtful if 
the republicans would allow him to 
serve out the accustomed four years. 
As Postmaster Pride owns the build- 
ing that is used for the Postoffice, it 
is very likely that a new postmaster 
would have to hunt up new quarters, 
not a very easy thing to find at 
Pride’s. Mr. Jordan’s refusal to ac- 
cept the job is a surprise to his Bev- 
erly friends, who worked hard to 
land him the place. Now many fig- 
ure it that Postmaster Pride will con- 
tinue on, at his same old job. 
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis R. Towne of 
Williamstown, have been among the 
visitors at Beverly Farms the past 
week. 
Another police officer—perhaps— 
came to town last Monday, a fine 
1014-pound boy being born to Police 
Officer and Mrs. Daniel J. Murphy, 
West st. Officer Murphy says about 
the new arrival—,“He’s one of the 
finest.” 
The closing of Tunipoo Inn, Bev- 
erly Farms’ popular hotel, became a 
reality, last Monday, when the doors 
were closed and the curtains drawn 
until next spring. Beverly Farms 
will surely miss seeing this cheerful 
place, especially at night, when light- 
ed up, for it added much to the life 
of the community. 
State Election next Tuesday. In 
Ward 6, the voters will cast their 
votes at the usual place—G. A. R. 
hall. The polls will open at 6 a. m. 
and close at 4 p. m.

DRUMS ARON AMEND GME CON: 
MASSACHUSETTS 
ON behalf of the most thoughtful 
body of women and men in the 
community—the Writers—and of the 
Suffrage workers in Essex County 
and in Boston, I make this last appeal 
to the voters of the state; an appeal t> 
American patriotism and American 
chivaly. 
Men of Massachusetts, we women, 
in great and ever increasing numbers, 
feel the call of our country as strong- 
ly as you do, sometimes even more 
deeply than you do because 2f 
motherhood. And we desire to serve 
Massachusetts as citizens, in dignity 
and liberty, and to work with men to 
make the state as safe and clean and 
happy as, together with men, we have 
made the Home. We shall not rest 
—you shall not rest—until this begin- 
ning of double service and completing 
of our democracy has been accom- 
plished. Patriotism used to be a mat- 
ter of men and of war. But we know 
now that the new patriotism,—the 
true American  patriotism—includcs 
women and Peace. The terrible 
European war is answering tragically, 
but conclusively, all the old argu- 
ments about the weakness of women 
and is making physical force forever 
hideous. We believe that the war will 
be followed by a great wave of de- 
mocracy (already begun). But shall 
we wait for this? Shall American 
men lose this opportunity to enfran- 
chise their women because the men 
of the Old World are doing their ut- 
most to exterminate humanity? In 
our own Civil War the Woman Suf- 
fragists (who were also the Abol- 
itionists) put aside their propaganda 
and worked for the soldiers. But 
their patriotism was not then reward- 
ed. Now, after more than fifty years 
of quiet but difficult work, the great 
Woman Suffrage movement has come 
to a Campaign in Massachusetts, and 
we ask the men to stand by us now, 
even as the women stood by the men 
in the hour of need. For we believe 
that “now is the appointed time.” 
Let no one frighten you or con- 
fuse you as to the real meaning and 
the real-issue, The isstie is justice, 
democracy, liberty—the American 
ideals, the cause of all the people, 
men and women together. - It is 10 
more and no less than this. Massa- 
chusetts has its first and last chance to 
lead again in this cause, as she did in 
the great days of the Revolution and 
the Abolition of slavery. In this time 
of new danger and stress we ask you 
for the power to help you save the 
Commonwealth. Enfranchise us, men 
Oct. 29, 1915. 
of Massachusetts, do it now, and we 
will stand by you in peace or in war!

22 CHILDREN DEAD IN PEABODY 
ScHOooL Fire. . 
At least 22 children (all believed to 
be girls) lost their lives in a swift 
conflagration which destroyed St. 
John’s Parochial school in Peabody 
in one short hour, beginning at 9 
o’clock yesterday morning. Only the 
discipline of the fire drill, which had 
been practiced twice a month, saved 
the lives of the great majority of the 
672 pupils, whose ages ranged from 
five to 18 years. 
The fire started, it is believed, in a 
barrel of rubbish in a closet in the 
basement, and spread with such 
rapidity that in to minutes the build- 
ing was filled with smoke and the 
flames were bursting through the 
front cellar door into the front hall, 
and up through the floors as well. 
There were no fire-escapes, but the 
state police had reported the building 
provided with sufficient egress, and 
Deputy Chief George C. Neal, who 
was early on the scene, stated that he 
saw no reason to change his opinion, 
for there were both front and back 
stairways and a wide hall, and door- 
ways eight feet wide. 
The loss of life was due, it is be- 
lieved, to the falling of one child in 
the doorway, and thus tripping those 
who came after, until a pile of more 
than a score 0* bodies was heaped up 
and rapidly incinerated. All the dead 
were found in the vestibule or just 
beyond, and all were so badly burned 
cr blackened that identification has 
been possible only by such trinkets as 
the children wore, or by the teeth.
