THE PORT OF BOSTON.

Boston has reason to look forward with great interest to the development of that city as much greater port within tho near future. For some time the commissioners of the port have been been endeavoring to bring this about by bettering the wharves and the entrance to the harbor. With the appropriation of three million this week for the building of piers and oth- erwise improving the conditions as an attraction to increase the development of the harbor, there comes the an- nouncement that the Hamburg Amer ican line is to put on a line of ocean steamers from Boston which will touch at English and German ports. This should be g big boom to Boston. and 1t is time that recognition was taken of the fact that this big New England pert, hundreds of miles east of the present terminal of the transatlantic lines, has advantages which simply need development
 This double effort Tn the way ot increasing Boston's importance as a port is one which will be felt through out all the New England states. It is line with the efforts which are being made along the entire New England coast. for that matter, where terminals for ocean going and eoasting steamer, are being projected. New England ha. never begun to secure the develop. ment which it ought to have in tn, shipping line; but the future promise.

THE RED CROSS WORK.

The call of President Taft for funds for the aid of the Greek Red Cross in the Balkan trouble is emphasized by Jacob G. Schurman, minister to Greece, for the purpose of strengthening the important and arduous labors of the society and assuring it's active opera ton and work in the present war. There is nothing which appeals more than such work for humanity and there promises to be great opportunities for excellent service during the bitter fight of the Balkan states against Turkey. It is war in behalf of civilization where minor countries are striving to force the heavy hand of Turkey to relieve the oppression with which she has governed her subjects. Those who have been fortunate enough to escape from her grasp have shown great progress in every particular. and it is sympathy for those in Europe who are still governed by the iron hand of the Turk that the struggle is attempt ed.
 There is an important part for the Red Cross to play therein. Where war exists, there the Red Cross finds it's presence necessary. This country has never been slow to relieve the suffer- ing, whether from disaster of famine, flood or war, and this cry for help will not go unheeded. It is in the in- terest of human welfare, and fortunate 1t is that there Is such a worthy or-
 ganization as the Red Cross to min- ister to the sick and injured. America will do her part towards the relief.

BETTERINc THE CITY.

The >vice report which the Fedora ton of Churches received at its ses- sion Tuesday night indicates that while results may have been accom- plished in certain directions towards cleaning up the city morally. there yet remains plenty of work to be done to make the undertaking have it's best results. It is evident that the fedora ton has a field for operations which should result in much better condi- tions, both as to those which are sub rosa" and those which are glar- ingly public.
 For long time there has been needed the active moral force to com bat the evils of the city, and the fed eration has taken an excellent stand in that relation and should be able to marshal the forces for good in united attitude for better things. The con ditions which arc reported to exist are the result of federation. They have been permitted to go on and increase until those engaged therein consider that the citizens are in favor of them Individuals can have little success IT combating the conditions, but it ii reasonable to believe that the Fedora ton of Churches will have practically a united backing in their fight for bet ter things, observance of the laws ant moral protection for children ant young people. It is work whicl churches are taking up everywhere and 1t cannot be given too hearty al endorsement.
