Cabot Lodges and Hungarian Lowells.
The unholy immigrants. who have no

No wonder the Puritan Sons are peev-

time and money trying to prove that
the passenger list OF the Mayfower and
the 1912 census returns for New
England were not the same documents.

rians must be stopped from such bias

The New Englanders have not yet
decided what to do. They might take
Indian names. since they named most
Of their towns and scenery from names
they stole from the Indians. They
might take the long and mispro-

are dropping. At any rate. they are
