THE LOG OF THE MAYFL0WER.
BY CHARLES G. sToRRs.

HISTORY, poetry and legend unite
in making the name "Mayfower" an
inspiration to New England, and to
New England's children wherever
they may have cast their lots. The
story of the sailing of the Mayhower
with its little band of pilgrims and of
their landing on Plymouth Rock that
was to their feet ''as doorstep in
to world unknown the corner
stone of nation" is one that will
never lose it's charm and inspiration
while the love of liberty and "free-
dom to worship God" animate human
hearts and quicken them to noble en-
thusiasm. No New Highlander needs
to be reminded of the difference be-
tween Pilgrim aud Puritan; between
the men who on board the Mayfower
signed compact which was the be-
ginning of State and the Puritans
who settled in Salem and Boston and
introduced in the New World the
spirit of religious intolerance from
which they had fled in the Old. In
everything, therefore, that pertains
to the Mayhower the American peo-
pie as whole have an interest which
has increased every year since the
Pilgrims landed on ''the bleak New
England shore"
This interest has been re-awakened
and excited recently by the most
precious relic that remains of that
cruise into the unknown that resulted
in such mighty achievements in the
founding of a great State in the New
World. This relic is the famous "log
of the MayAower," the history of
which furnishes material for curious
and interesting chapter in literary
history. Strange as it may seem, this
precious relic of the Pilgrims was
lost sight of for many years. The
discovery was due to John Stetson
Barry, who, while engaged in writing
history of Massachusetts,, noticed
that certain passages quoted in Bis
hop Wilberforce's History of the
Protestant Church in America" as be-
ing from Manuscript History of the
Plymouth Plantation in the Fulham
Library" were identical with excerpts
in the chronicles of Morton and
Prince from Bradford's autograph
history. Following up this clue it was
found that the manuscript history re-
ferred to by Bishop Wilberforce was
Bradford's autograph history, which
fomerly belonged to Princes New
England Library and was probably
taken to London during the Revolu-
ton and deposited in the library of
Fulham Palace, belonging to the
bishopric of London. The manu-
script is in an excellent state of pres
ervation, comprises several hundred
pages, and covers the history of the
Plymouth colony from 1902 to 1916,
in addition to notations made in later
years, one of which is as follows:

SENATE.


Washington, April 22.-The session of
the senate today was one of the most
eyentful since congress assembled. 1t
opened with a proposition for an Off
cial expression of sympathy to the
Greeks in their struggle with Turkey.
This soon was merged into a turbulent
debate over the ~disorganized state of
the senate, during which Senate Nor
gan characterized Speaker Reed as the
Great White Filibuster." Later in the
day the Nelson bankruptcy bill was
passed by the decisive vote of AZ to s.
Senator Allen. of Nebraska, offered
a resolution providing that the chief
executive express the sympathy of the
American people to the government of
| Greece. The senator declared that the
present contest was one W Chris
tianity and paganism.
At the request of Senator Davis,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, the resolution was referred,
Senator Davis promising speedy action.
The debate on the senate committees
aroused Senate Morgan to a speech of
unusual severity. He spoke of die
tatOrships;" Of the subordination of
public business to politics. He charac-
terized the condition of inactiOn in the
house of representatives, as the most
gigantic and unheard of filibuster''
ever attempted. In conclusion he said
that the speaker of the house., who had
been know as the Great White Gar
should be hereafter knOWna as the Great
White Filibuster."
Another stirring chapter to the same
subject was added by senator Allen
who proposed a complete cessation of
senate business except to consider ap-
preparation bills until the committees
were filled. The resolution led to an
other heated debate, in which Senators
Chandler. Gear and Allen participated.
The resolution finally went over.
The bankruptcy bill as passed is the

takes the ground that as soon as the
conservatism OF the southern people
and the inherent ~soundness Of their
principles shall be made sufficiently
widely known, il Will become the US
tom in financial circles TO favor south

the conservatism of the south upon the
fact that a population OF lnmixed An
glo-Saxonism has been trained under
common law Institutions TO regard pre-
cedent and to yenerat law and order
and justice. He admits hat there has
been III the south a touch of the anti

point. which is exceptionally good for
obtaining a broad view of existing con-
ditions, he sees a passing Of the evil
and he predicts that il can never live
long enough or become sufficiently Wig
orous to do any real damage in a
southern atmosphere. The age of ma
chlnery and large enterprises, he is
convinced, is leading southerners to APP
preciate the advantages of asSociating
labor and capital in corporate enter
prises for the utilization of inventions
and that the day is not far distant
when the politician of the south who
INDUCES in wholesale and indiscrimi-
nate abuse of corporations will be put
down as an enemy to the best inter

1T would be worth many millions Of
dollars for the south's future develop

garded as a personal triumph of Sen
ator Nelson. The Nelson bill, as pass
ed, provides for voluntary n invol-

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The Gus today adopted a special
order for the consideration of the sem
ate amendments of their Indian APP
preparation bill without reference to a
committee.
Democratic d~issensions again came to
the surface. Mr.. Bailey and his follow
ers joined with the republicans on this
proposition after the special order had
been modified so as TO cover the apprO-
priatiOn bills.
Mr.. Bland. of Missouri. protested Wig
Orously against the course. but only
had a following of t~wenty-fOur, not
enough to get a second vote. Mr.. Simp-
son. of Kansas. is out of the city and
therefore was lot in evidence.
The senate amendments of minor i'm
portance were c%oncurred in. except the
one removing the Indian supply depot
from Chicago to Omaha. The amend
ment relative to the opening of the
U~ncomDaghe reservation was not act
ed upon today. While it was being de-
bated, the death of Judge Holman was
announced. The usual resolutions We're
adopted and a committee Of ten was
appointed to accompany the remains to
their final resting place. AS a further
mark of respect the house adjourned.
