President Taft's Tribute,

President Taft's opening words were de
scriptive Of the landing OF the Pilgrims at
Prnvincetown and the causes which
brought them 10 this country. He said. in
part;
Here, two hundred and ninety years ago,
a band OF one hundred Pilgrims, In a small,
crowded and leaking vessel, first saw their
new home Other efforts had been made
on the New England coast to found colo
mics for profit, but this was the first at
tempt made by men seeking political and
religious independence 10 secure an asylum
in America where they might escape the
fussy. meddling, narrow and tyranntcal re-
straints imposed by the first Of the Stuarts.
They were Of the yeomanry, or the farmer,
class. Their ministers were university bred
men. but the rest were humble, godfearing
persons who were avowed nom conformtSts.
and had been prosecuted as such IN their
homes in the eastern part of England.
They fed 70 Amsterdam and then to
Iscyden to enjoy the freedom of religious
worship for which Holland was then dis
tinguished among the countries OF the
world.
Their wish 10 remain English finally in
duced this ventureSome quest for another
place of residence, where they could main
tain a theocracy based on human de-
mocracy. Other colonies, attempted in
New England and elsewhere. failed for lack
OF courage in the coionists. The difference
between all these and the Pilgrims was the
motive which inspired them TO come

Here in this compact Of the Nayfower !
find two conceptions which seem 10 me OF
great Standardization potent factors in
history since that November day, 2SO years
ago. Three years since, on the laying OF
the cornerstone, I spoke Of one OF them
the idea Of an organic law adopted ny al
the people, above all other laws, the Dull
wark and defence Of certain rights and. the
embodiment Of certain other fundamental
PRINCIPLES lying at the root Of free govern
menL In this conception we-See the origin
OF the written constitution, Whlch mas
played SO great a part in modern history
The other principle conspicuous IN the
compact is that of democracy. All the men

Here there Is nothing new. TEMPERATE
government was not novel idea. But the
compact was an assertion, or, rather the
reassertion, of the democratic principle at
a time when that principle had fallen into
disuse and almost wholly faded from the
minds Of men
Democracy and popular government were
wellnigh forgotten words when the com
pact rnbodying both was signed Slowly
the principle spread, almost unnouced,
through the American colonies. A century
and a half went by. and then the de-
nocracv Of the MayfoWer compact rose
suddenly militant upon q world which Old
not understand.
Il is well 10 remember also that this de-
mocracy recognized in the cabin Of the
Mayfower as the true government for tree
men had one quality wholly lacking IN
the democrac-es of Rome and Greece and
Of the Middle Ages. That quality was the
representative principle, in theory ana
practice familiar 10 all English speaking
people But the representation which they
knew was that Of orders and classes ana
institutions. Here in America they yoked
II to the principle of government by the
people and so produced representative de-
naocracy, and that is the democracy Whlch
for q century and a half has marched on
from victory 10 victory. Where the rep
resentative principle was lacking or was
crushed out democracy has talled ana
turned to despotiSrI. as in the republics OF
Rome and Greece or in the Italian cities.
The tradition of the Mayfiower, as I
read il is in the spirit and purpose Of the
little band Of exiles who made the compact
and came hither 10 found a state. Their
purpose was to secure freedom to worship
Cod in their own fashion and 10 preserve
their nationality and their native language.
For these ends they had left safety, smell
ter and comfort.

THE TEACHER AND THE PUPIL.
An Incident That Had i'm It the E1e-
ments of True Religion.
TelegraI

Greensboro Te1egram.)
One of the most mOOted Of cues
tons is, what is religion? Here is one
answer, furnished by d newspaper out
in Kansas:
He vas the worst boy in school,
she was the teacher. She was angered
by his stubborness: he was defiant.
She took him to the q for punish
ment. Angrily she administered the
penalty and-then somehow a great
wave Of pity for the boy swept over
her.
She looked at the worn coat Of
the little fellow. she thought OF h
frail body deprived of nourishing
food; she thought of the hard and
loveless home and of the starved soul
of the poor kid.
Tears sprang to the teachers yes
as the boy waited for further punish
ment. Then he saw the tears. His
own eyes grew moist and overlooked.
Thinking Of how the poor boy had
no chance, in an impulse of love she
put her arms o the O and they
cried together.
That is religion.
She and the boy both found it."
The incident is a very affecting one
To read it must soften the hardest
heart. The teacher and h boy were
both better for it. The Kansas paper
was right in calling the incident re
ligion. We take it that it meant that
human sympathy is natural to the re-
ligious and not, of course, that mere
feeling is all of religion. There was
some religion in the spirit of forgive
ness and pity shown by the teacher
and there was some religion IN the
boys response. Subsequent tests
might have shown that the emotion on
both sides was fleeing and in that
event the element Of religion in the
incident would have been shown to
be small. But while religion has its
practical side, it partakes OF religion
as we have said to be tender and
gentle with the erring and likewise it
partakes of religion for the erring to
be penitent and warmly r~eciprocattve
of tenderneSS.
