The Cambridge of eighteen hundred and ninety-six: a picture of the city and its industries fifty years after its incorporation (ed. Arthur Gilman), Cambridge town, 1750-1846. (search)
could there have been any reasonable ground for opposing the removal of the powder which belonged to the province. It is obvious, however, that the 2d of September, 1774, just escaped the historic importance of the 19th of April of the succeeding year. As a sequel to these events, the town held a meeting October 3, 1774, and instructed the representatives whom they had chosen for the General Court, which was to meet at Salem October 5, to act only with the council which had been chosen in May preceding. They were also authorized to represent the town in a Provincial Congress, and either as members of the Assembly or as members of the Congress, to consult with their fellow-members and determine what was most proper to deliver America from the iron jaws of slavery. This was of course revolutionary. The council, established by act of Parliament, was deliberately refused recognition, and the representatives were authorized to represent the town, in a body whose very existence woul

d a paper called Frozen Truth, which was distributed to all voters, and in which the cold facts about the saloon, the congealed veracity as somebody called it, were laid before our people. Moreover this committee organized a most efficient campaign, personally, at the polling-places by the use of check lists, and so forth. The result was, in December, 1886, the overthrow of the saloon by a majority of 566. This vote did not take effect under our statutes until the first of the following May. In the mean time a Law Enforcement Association was organized, with the paradoxical purpose of never enforcing the law; but, the rather, of fixing the responsibility upon the proper officers, of supplying them with information, of holding up their hands, of seeing that large praise came to them for all faithful work, and of focusing the intelligence and indignation of the city upon all dereliction of duty in this regard. 4. This was the state of affairs on Sunday, May 1, 1887, a day obser

ar was appointed registrar to record and furnish to those interested the facts learned through investigation, and an office was provided by the city in the Central Square building in Cambridgeport. As a necessary complement to the registration, the work of visiting those in distress was begun in the spring of 1882, and, to enable the visitors to compare their experience and to get the advantage of mutual advice, a conference was formed in Old Cambridge in April, another in Cambridgeport in May, and one in North Cambridge in May, 1884. These have met regularly twice each month since their organization (except during the summer), and have done some remarkably good work. A similar conference was formed in East Cambridge in the spring of 1894, so that the whole city is now included in the system of friendly visiting, so far as the comparatively small number of visitors will permit. The society was incorporated January 16, 1883, and the late Dr. A. P. Peabody was chosen president.
