Relirem w of Senator Crane
Stirs Many to Run
BENIilE REGRET OVER CRANE
Record Forei gn Commerc e For 1912 Is
Sure—La bor and Its Share In the
Export Trade—Congr issman An-
arew J. Peters Is Being Talked
of In Connecti on With Gubern atorial
Nomination .
The decision of Senator Crane not
to be a candidate for re-election has
resulte d in a numbe r of candidate s
eomlng into the field . Already Mayor
John F. Fitzgeral d of Boston has an-
nounced himself as seeking the honor .
He is tire flrBt and only Democra t to
come into the field , although Gov-
ernor Foss has been mentioned for the
nominatio n .
It ia unde rstood that Congres smen
John W. Weeks and Augustus P .
Gardner would be willing to accept
the position . There is considerable
support also for former Governor
Curtis Guild , who Is now serving as
ambassador to Russia. Thomas W.
Lawson is also a candidate . A num-
ber of other prominent men are men-
tioned , among them Ex-Congressman
Samuel W. Powers of Newton and
Congressman McCall.
Former Governor Joh n L. Bates is
one of those discussed in connectio n
•with the office , but his friends feel
very sure that he will not be a can-
didate , although they are confident
that If he were hs would have strong

Crane's Act Causes Regret
There is very general regret that
Senator Crnno is not to- be a candi-
date for re-election.. Leading men In
in the Ftate. without regard to party
affiliatio ns do not hesitate to say that
he has been one of the ablest senators
Massachusetts has over had . All this
he hag accomplished by his ability as
n man without the advantages of
oratory. Mr. Crane is not a public
speaker. In all his public career he
has never made what might proper-
ly be called a public speech. During
his services ns governor he read IiIh
insuipiiral Bpcochos, but outside of
these he has never made a p;il>lto
nddrpsa that would exceed in
length a quarter of a newspaper
column. His abilities do not lie in
that direction. In the United States
eenato ho has sometimes been known
ae th e peacemaker , through his abil-
ity to get th e opposing elements to-
gether and to secure unity of action .
His ability In pnrty work lay largo!?
In hla capacity to ertthuBo men , to sot
them at work and to unite all fac-
tions In common harmony .
It 1b unquestionably true that his
retirement will be a great loss to Mas-
sachusetts. He has accomplished «'
i
great deal for the state during hl3
career at Washington , and no com-
monwealth was better equipped to
accomplish things In the senate than
Massachusetts with Mr. I-iodge and
Mr. Crane as her representatives
there .
The canvass for the successor to
Mr. Crane will undoubtedly bo a
»plrlt<>d one. When the two political
parties have selected their candidates
for the Kenatorship the contest will
be stubbornly waged. Republican
leaders believe there Is very little
doubt that the candidate of that party
¦will be successful . There eeems to
be every probability that the differ-
ent elements of the Republican party
will unite upon a candidate and then
win with him.
Governor F069 and Cost of Living
Wh en Eugene N. Fose made hla
figh t for congress in the Fourteenth
district he did ft on the cost of liv-
ing. That woe over two years ago.
A year ago last fall he made his cam-
paign for the governorship princi-
pally on the same Issuo, promising to
smash prices if elected . Last fall he
used the same Issuo as one of his
campaign arguments. Nevertheless
it is impossible to point out anything
he has done to lower the cost of liv-
ing. As a matter of fact he evidently
forgets there Is any such issue or that
he is pledged to help the consumer
reduce bis expenses . As a matter
of fact the cost of living has increased
faster during his term of service than
ever before In the history of the coun-
try. If be can really reduce the cost
of living the poor consumer thinks It
Is about time he got busy; If he can-
not and know he cannot , as it would
eeem eviden t after so long a time. It
would be common honesty to aay so
and not to use that promise as a cam-
paign issue any further.
Congressman Andrew J. Peters is
being considered as a candidate for
governor. The congressm an ie in
good standing with the Boston De-
mocracy, consisting to a large ex-
tent of Mayor Fitzgerald and Martin
Lomasney, and these men are said to
ravor bis candidacy. Some people
are wondering if there Is a desir e to
shelve Mr. Foss in case be fails to
get the Democrati c nomination for,
vice president , and set him aside as
to the governorship nominatio n this
tall , in case he should wish it.
A Record Foreign Commerce
Tears ago It used to be a custom
for free traders and tarit f-for-revenu e
Democrats to declare that the United
States could
, never secure a large for-
eign commerce until it abandoned pro-
tection and adopte d free trade.
Steadily year by year the figures or
our expanding foreign commerce have
given the lie to this statement until
. It is now never advan ced as a tariff
innme nt.
Notwithstanding the tact that for
many yean this country has adopted
a tariff system which protects labor
and aims to protect oar manufactur-
ers from the cheaper foreign labor,
our commerce with other nations has
grown by leaps and bounds. The
statistical bur eau of the department
of commerce and labor In a recent
statement shows that la both,import s

"BIG SING" AT OSTERVILLE
The next "Big Sing " will be held in
; the Bapti st church at Osterville , Sun-
j day afternoo n , June 9th , at 3.30. It is
likely that more pr eachers than
j usually attend will be pr esent, and
I singers from the surrounding towns.
I This is a large edifice and will be a
j good place to meet. In case the
j church edifice will not hold the crowd ,
ilie beautiful emban kment and yard s
I about the church affords ample oppor-
, tunity for many to hear the speaker s
and singers. Rev. C. H. Cook and his
; loyal ban d of willing work ers will
: make the meeting an interes tin g one ,
i and the house attractive.
j Mr. Cook is a faithful preacher and
Christian worker and it is hoped that
I the "Big Sing " may prove an inspira-
tion to the pastor and his church and
all who attend. Don 't miss it. The
music will be a treat and speakers in-
teresting. W. T. J.

the ship Fra nklin Haven in the Aus-
tralia and California trade untM I--'-
when he gave up a sea-faring life. He
: was engaged in the shipping t rade in
I Boston, owni ng interest in many ves-
; sels until 1R0S , when he retired ad
I retur ned to his native town.
| Durin g the last 10 years nearly his
j whole time was devoted to the suc-
j cess of the movement to erect a monu-
|ment to the Pilgrims at Provincetown.
He spent three successive winters in
Washington to enlist the aid of Sena-
.' tors and Rep resentat ives in the pro-
! j oct and as president of the Pilgrim
: Memorial Associatio n he secured fi-
nancial aid from every .section of the
country.

TO VISIT THE CANAL
The members of the Boston Cham-
ber of Commerce have practically
completed their plans for the inspec-
tion of the Cape Cod canal, which
project they were so instrumental In
bringing to fulfilment.
The date set for the excursion Is
Saturday, June 8, and already
many of the members have signified
their intentio n of being on hand. The
train bearing the party will leave at
S.r.f) on Saturday morning and reach
Buzzards Bay at 10.2H. Here two
engin eers will join the party and
give first hand information as the
examination progresses.
At Sagamore the party will vary
from the route a little and Inspect the
Keith Car and Manufacturing Com-
pany 's plant at the invitation of E. S.
S. Keith , president of the company.
The special train will arrive in Bos-
ton at 5 30 Saturday night.
Where Healthiest Children Are Born.
The healthiest children are born in
houseB which have cracks and knot
holes In them. When the house is
tight sealed and hot water radiated ,
it is said to be "comfortable ," but it is
bad for the kiddies. Out on the newer
prairi es there are sturdy little fellows
snuggled down every night in shacks',
through which the hungry winter ,
prowling after dark , blows a little thin
stream of cold, ozone laden air across
the bed. It has a tonic in it A nail-
hole through the outside of the house,
if not overdone , is worth $25 a year in
good feeling. While thi s Is all true
beyond a question , yet when we -find
a crack in the outer wall of the house
we cry havoc and putty it up. This Is
the tribute we pay to the coal trad e.

Her Easter Ha*.
Apropos of the latest foreign Umoo-
eine—the limousine with a roof that
slides back for aviation meetings-
Prank Coffyn , of hydroplane fame, said
i the other day In New York:
"This car reminds me of a conver-
sation I overheard between two girts.
" it was an awfully smart crowd at
the flying,' said the first gbrL 1saw
some awfully nice frocks.'
" 'And who flewT the second girl
Inquired.
"' Don't ask met' said the first gfrL
*Do you think I was going to take off
my new Easter hat Ju st to see a lot
of aeroplanes?"*
Idleness Looked On as Crime.
In industrial Switzerland there is no
placefor the Idle. It Is oonalderedthe
duty of the authorities 'to assist, In
every way possible
, persons honestly
seeking employment, and It isalso held
to be their duty to punish the work-
shlrher and to force him to earn his
bread before ha may eat It No tolera-
tion Is shown to the loafer

The Great and General Court
The great and general court Is like-

days if it has its own way about It.
Governor Koss seems to think the
legislators are in a hurry to get home ,

theni to pass all his
measures before they go. If he waits
until they do that it may be some
week s before prorogation is reached ,
for they do not on all things a-^reo

much against some of his schemes as
the Republicans. Probabiy he will

Spring Showers In Old Garden .

A quick shower , soon over ; and when

Of What Use Are We?
We sometimes wonder of what use
we ar e. and why wo are put on earth.
One daf Is added to nnother and wo
room to b© no farther adva nced on
the pathwa y of our lives. Aa Mark
Twain would have put It, we do not
appear to be gaining on the ficener y.
Vet there is room m the world , and
need in tho world , for each and every
ono of us, and therefore , we must keep
on going to the end. Emerson has a
poem in which the squirrel talk s to
tho mountain says: "If I cann ot carr y
forests on my back neith er can you
crack a nut. " You can do something
nobody else can do; namely, live your
life. You have your chance, If you
will only take it. and I have mine. If
we can do nothing else we can at leant
be some one's friend, and there la
nothing that the world more keenly
wants and more sadly needs.—Ladles '
Homo Journal.
Not a Permanent Arrangement.
In London the saloons aro open on
Sunda ys between the hours of three
and five in the afternoon. A couple
of roughs were standing in fron t of
one of these accommodation s waitin g
for it to open when a 8alv&tlon Army
captain who was passin g said, "Men,
don't you know that when you enter
a saloon you enter hell? " "That 's all
righ t, old top," piped one of the roughs ,
"the m throw us out In a couple of
hours.

Unwelcome Caller.
Two cows were being driven along
Causewayend , Aberdeen, Scotland, one
recent forenoon , when they ran into
a house on Charles street. Before the
animals could be ejected , they smash-
ed a quantity of furniture , and one of
them put a foot through the floor. The
mistress of the house, who was in at
the time, suffered a severe shock from
the unexpected Intrusion on the do-
mestic circle.
Wax Removed.
If candlesticks or the patent holders
lie unsightly because of wax spots,
put them in the oven on a folded
aewspape*; the heat will melt the wax
and most of It will be absorbed by the
paper. Wipe them vigorously with a
