SELF AID OR STATE AID.

We have been curious, ever since the adoption
of the system in England, to perceive the effect
of old age pensions upon the friendly societies,
those societies toward the proposals of Mr.
ton of state insurance against sickness and
unemployment. There has been no satisfactory
opportunity to make such observations in Ger
many elsewhere, because nowhere else is
there such a development as there is in England
Of the system of friendly societies or mutual
benefit organizations. In England the societies
have long been one of the dominant and char
acteristic elements of the social order among
the industrial masses, and they have been Of
such value that any impairment of their activ
ity should be regarded with regret and should
by all means be avoided. That such impair
ment might be caused by some of the govern
ment schemes which have recently been put
forward or suggested seems not only possible
but probable, whence the interest with which
the relations between voluntary friendly socie-
ties and more or less compulsory state aid have
been regarded.
Upon this matter some light has now been
thrown by the reports made and the opinions
expressed at various gatherings of the friendly
societies The grand master of the Odd Fellows
expressed himself somewhat doubtfully and
equivocally. He hoped the government schemes
would not operate against the friendly societies,
and he had been assured that they would not.
but lie was apparently not fully convinced OF
1t. He did not, of course wish TO oppose gov
eminent efforts 10 alleviate the great evils of
sickness and unemployment, but at the same
time he did not wish the domain of the friendly

special bills In almost all cases these bills are for
the purpose of procuring exemptions. lengthening
seasons and otherwise breaking down the effect OF
the game laws. If the purpose succeeded there
would soon be game protection worth mention

be given up. Such a character is
not annoyed by publicity and has no
fear of eavesdrorpers. Nevertheless,
the dignity of the presidential office
requires "a summer home that is suit
able for the chief magistrate of this
country.
President Taft, when he first went to
the Philippines, sold his house in Gin
cinnati, and 50. being possessed of no
r0of-tree he can call his home, it be
came necessary to ind some convenient
place for his family and for himself,

New England Massachusetts was his
mother 5 native State.
From his boyhood he was familiar
with her scenes and felt at home within
her borders. One of the summers of
his early married life was passed at
Magnolia and the loneliness of the
North Shore had never been forgotten.
During the campaign of last year he
was heard to say hat, after his own
State, he would rather carry Massa-
ehusetts than any other. and splendidly
did the old Bay State respond to the
wish of one who may well be called
her grandson.
James Russell Lowell, in one of his
letters, says of Beverly: "Find the
Yankee word for Sorrento and You have
Beverly; it is only the Bay of Naples
translated into New England dialect. Z"
Even allowing for poetic license in the
thought, there is but small truth in the
comparison. These gently rounded hills
bear faint resemblance to the volcanic
cliffs over which Vesuvius frowns; the
oaks, the pines, and the hemlocks that
rise above the red rocks of the North
Shore are little like the orange groves
that drop their luscious fruits over the
palisade-like walls of Sorrento into the
Bay of Naples: but true it is that the

gazes from the porches of his summer
home often reflects sky as clear and
dark a blue as does the Mediterranean.
Just across the old Essex Bridge be-
yond Salem, that town of witch renown,
lies Beverly, on the Cape-An-Side, ~ as
the old records call it. Once on the
Cape itself, there is GOODNESS in the
very thought that only a few miles
north from the southern coast, with its
wooded shores. where the trees wander
down TO the ocean 5 brink. lies again
the open sea with 5bleaker sand-dunes,
long stretches of white beaches. and

Women discuss their gardens more than

in the flowers that flourish around their
houses than in those which decorate
their hats. If a little dinner. whose
