BOSTON HARBoR FRozE.
But That Didn't Keep the Britannia
From Sailing on Time.

But That Didn't Keep the Britannia
From Sailing on Time.
Boston harbor froZe over in January
of 1914, and the advertised sailing of
the Britannia, then in dock, seemed
surely to be impossible But the mer-
chants of Boston would not have 1t SO.
They met and voted to cut way, at
their own expense. through the ice,
that the steamer might sail practically
ON time.
The contract for cutting the neces-
sary channels was given to merchants
engaged, like Frederick Tudor, In the
export of ice, but not ice cut from the
harbor. Their task was to cut within
the space of three days n channel about
ten miles long. For tools they had the
best machinery used in cutting fresh
water ice. and horsepower was EN-.
ployed. The ice was from six to twelve
inches i'm thickness.
AS the Advertiser of Feb. 9, 1914. de.
scribed the scene: "a great many per-

zen over, and the ice has been covered

Tents and booths were erected upon
the ice. and some parts of the harbor
bore the appearance of a Russian holl-

On Feb. 3 the work was done, and
he Britannia, steaming slowly through
the lane of open water, lined on either
side by thousands of cheering specta-
Tors. made her way to the sea.

Gov. Wilson'S candidacy

From Brooklyn IN. W Citizen:
On another page our readers will
find evidence that the supporters of
Governor Wilson. of New Jersey, for
the Democratic Presidential nomina-
ton. are bestirring themselves. Dis
patches and reports of various kinds,
with appropriate comment, are gath
cred together in volume enough to
show with what favor the name of
the Governor has been received in
various parts of the country.
While it is still too early for the
Citizen" to make predictions of
what the convention will do, or is
likely to do. it is not too early to say
that the candidacy of Govern or
Wilson deserves all the attention it
has received. He is unquestionably
! one of the foremost Democrats in the
land. and represents, as few other
MN do, the progressive and yet con-
sentative tendencies of the general
body of the Democracy. 1t is notice
able, too, that except in compare
lively small circles, the disposition
evinced by Democrats is to regard
Governor Wilson as at least one Oh
the men whom it is reasonable to
believe could win if he were placed
! at the head of the Democratic ticket.
This implies no enlargement of any
rival candidate, but it does imply
confidence that if he were chosen, the
result would be united and not a
divided or faction riven party.
There is no doubt, in any quarter,
of Governor wilson Democracy, and
just us little of doubt is there of his
exceptional capacity for stating the
Democratic case in convincing man.
ner. His high personal character,
combined with his remarkable ability
for presenting his views in a persua-
| sive style, make him an ideal cham
pion of the Democracy in the field of
general debate. His achievements in
the arena of Jersey politics, taken in
connection with his contributions to
American history and his frank and
varied discussions of public questions,
have made him, without any special
solicitation on his part figure whom
no intelligent American thinks Of
either ignorinfg or trying to bellttle.
That Governor Wilson has oppon-
ents follows MS matter of course.
Were this not so it would follow that
he had not been affirmative. Governor
Wilson is no negative quantity, and
it is quite certain that if he were he
would be of no possible use to either
the Democratic party or the country
at large in the Presidential field.
lould he be the Democratic nomi-
nee, the Democratic party will enter
the campaign under leadersh ip
worthy of its best traditions, lead
ciship at once in sympathy with the
advancing thought of the age, and
distinguished for the breadth of mind
and fullness of knowledge without
which no advance can be safely pro-
ceeded with.
