 John D. Long, former secretary of the navy, in his address at Plymouth where the celebration of the SOOth an- niversary of the First Church was held recently, showed that the original Pill srims and their immediate descendants were by no means perfect, though they had a very severe code of morals.
 Mir Long is a pretty good authority in historical matters, but he did lay it on to the Fathers pretty hard. He denounced the first minister sent to the colony in 1924 as a "factious hypo- crite, who stirred up strife and was shown to have been a libertine, guilty of gross immortality" The second was "a cross between crank and an idiot" One of the original Pilgrims was hanged for wilful murder. During "the first decade social vices infested the community. drunkenness, pickering, islander, Iicentiousness, even crimes against nature
 But" added MT. Long, the good prevailed with them over the evil. as it has prevailed with us and will here after prevail. I believe that all the present eruption and riot and violence which startle. us today are only the boiling of the cauldron, which, hot and steaming and scalding now, is slough ing off the scum

The governor Of New Mexico the other day pardoned a man who had in the penitentiary, having been con victed of horse stealing. He had not however, been removed to the peniten- tiary. The governor presented a half dozen extraordinary reasons for his exercise of executive clemency. One unanimously affirmed the judgment of the lower court, two of the three jus tices dissenting. Another was that previous to the commission of tn-s crime the prisoner had borne a good reputation. No doubt appears to have been raised as to his guilt

We notice that Governor Hagerman or New Mexico in making appointment of delegates to the national irrigation congress has included no names of Spanish speaking people. We have un- derstood from New Mexican and toInr statehood information that the Spanish element there is one of great intelli- gence. We have also understood that it was largely engaged in agriculture and hence interested in irrigation. Why has it not been given representation. then, is a matter which so closely con cerns it?

there should have been a day of ac-

Stated examinations were made of

bankers, but they have no chance to

Mrs. E. Smith ofthis City is Paid
One half Of Pension of Elus.
band who Deserted her
MAN NOW LIVING in FAR WEST
Pension Bureau Allows Mrs. Smith
One-half of the Pension and may
Also Start Prosecution
Against Husband


Dispatches from Washington state
that Mrs. Smith of this city has been
awarded a pension as the deserted
wife Of William r. Smith, late a
member Of Company B. Of the 9Th
Wisconsin volunteer infantry. Tie
pension is to be one-half of the pen
sion of the husband who deserted her.
The caseEislone of the most unus-
nal ones ever.hrought out in the pen
sion business in Kenosha. It is shown
that Mrs. Smith was deserted by her
husband nearly thirty years ago. An
officer Of Thea pension bureau today
stated that the whereabouts of Smith
were known and that it was possible
that the sbureaue would [begin action
against him tossforce him to answer to
a crime of wife ssdesertion and also
crime of bigany. Smiths now living
in small town in Missouri and it is
stated by the..pension men that he has
a wife and children in that state.
It is admittedsthat at one time Smith
started an action for divorce, but the
x Il
law was passed by congress which
made it possible for the deserted wife
of soldier to secure one-half Of the
pension paid.Dy the government. AS
Smith wassdrawing his pension regu-
1arly the government sagents had no
trouble locating Ehim and when the
wife made claim for the share Of the
pension, the husband contested the
claim on the grounds that he had Sc
cured divorce. This fact was easily
disproven by the claimant and in due
time the government recognized her.
rights to pension and directed that
it be paidjto her.
It is not thought that Mrs. Smith
will make rany appearance in court
against her husband, but it is thought
that the matter will be taken up by
the bureau and the man forced to pay
the penalty of the crime if he is guilty
OF any.
The pensionsbureauIhas also recog-
nized the claims of the minor children
OF Henry Joernt and has ordered that
they be paid pension at the rate Of
$12 month with back pay dating
from Novembers23, 1897. The back
pay due to the children will amount
to considerable over $1,2oO. Similar
action was taken in regard to the
claim of Fred Joernt as guardian for
Edward Joernt.

pal streetssof the scity. The city Of
ficials and .smembers of the fire and
police departments have been asked
to takesspart in the parade and the
businessmen of the city have been
asked to provide floats for the parade.
Many Of the. business men have al
ready agreed toshave floats in the par

LASH FOR COOPER
President Gompers, of American
Federation, Names Congress
man as Foe to Labor
TO MAKE PUBLIC R}sLETTERS

President Gompers, of che feder-
ated labor organization, is about to
blow his blast against representatives
in congress who have not come up to
the standard he has made with re-
spect to their attitude on labor 1egis-
lation. Mr.. Gompers will soon pub
lish series of replies received from
representatives. to the questions
which were recently sent out by him
and in that connection will make up
blacklist" of members whose re-
sponses have not been satisfactory to
him. In the first list to appear will
be the name of Representative Cooper
of Racine. Mr.. Gompers will publish
what he claims to be reply received
from Mr.. Cooper or the anti-injunc-
ton bill, in which the member says:
ST believe a writ of injunction
should be issued when necessary to
prevent irreparable injury to prop
erty or to property right, for which
threatened injury there would be no
adequate remedy at law. A court has
the right 10 enjoin either labor or
capital from using force, fraud or
violence which tend to infict such ir-
reparable injury, but no court has the
right to enjoin either labor or capital
from peacefully and lawfully. nsing
persuasion and argument to effect its
purpose. :"
The reply Mr.. Gompers will make to
this statement by Mr.. Cooper will be
as follows: 1--WE commend to the at
tention of Mr.. Cooper and all whom it
may concern that an injunction
ought not to be issued by any court
when it is claimed there is force, or
fraud. or violence used or contem-
plated in labor dispute, for there are
laws now in existence dealing with
those guilty of such conduct, and
dealing with them much more equita-
bly, than does the injunction. >

SOME recent bank failures have put

SOME recent bank failures have put
new life into the movement for the es-
tab1ishment of postal savings banks
and from present indications the
movement is likely to gather consid-
cradle Roadway before the next meet
ing of congress. Some of the advan-
tages of the postal savings bank are
outlined by the Record Herald as fol-
lows:
"Of the advantages and benefits
which advocates of the postal savings
bank system advance, one point is
that the system will have tendency
to prevent the boarding of money by
poor and ignorant persons and people
who have prejudices against banks.
The claim has been made that over
$500, 600, 900 in the United States is re-
tired from circulation by people who
hoard money and practically all of
this, it is claimed, would go into pos
tai savings and serve to benefit the
country at large.
"Other bene6cent influences which
would accrue from the system, it is
claimed, are:
"The encouragement of thrift and
economy among laboring classes.
ssThe education of children to the
value of saving,
"The instilling of systematic habits
and the business instinct in the young.
"The tendency to discourage dis
order and anarchy by reason of a
widespread financial interest in the
government.
Convenience in making deposits
and withdrawing funds, no matter in
what part of the country person may
happen to be.
"The inspiring of loyalty to the
country and confidence in its institu-
tions among foreigners,
The appeal to the very small saver
who hesitates to go to the ordinary
bank and ask that his pittance be
cared for.
But the main consideration and
the one that appeals to the masses IS
the complete security offered by a
government institution as compared
to the distrust awakened and kept
alive by such failures as that which
has revived the present movement in
Chicago for postal savings banks

Is now divided between the cruiser

failure of the company to make good

IN certain parts of the county it is
very evident that the noxious weed
commissioners are not attending to
business. Canadian thistles and
other noxious weeds in full bloom
or already gone to seed line the road
ways for long distances, and appar-
emily no effort has been made to de-
stroy them. This neglect is bound to
cost the farmer many extra hours OF
labor and in time it will have an ap-
preciable effect on the value of the
land if allowed to continue. This is
one of the cases where an ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure,
and land owners who are trying to
keep their property free from weeds
should make it their business to stir
up the weed commissioners little.
