TRUE TO THEIR INSTITUTIONS
Exchanging Character Of the Saxon
Race as Evinced Throughout
the Centuries.

This tribe of Saxons had, by acci-
upon the very country best suited to
them. A fertile island, cut OF from
the rest of the world and with room
for all. so that each one might, with
his family, have a kingdom of his own.
This, with as little machinery OF gov.
eminent as possible and yet all ready
to combine us equals In self-defense.
But as they made their land product
I've, as they became rich, they became
the prey Of other peoples from north
western Germany and what is now the
scandinavian peninsula and were
forced to defend their possessions
and their customs against Angles.
Danes and Nurmans
1t is a curious feature Of the abid-
ing, unrelenting purpose Of these Sax
ons to govern themselves and to be
let alone that, though they we're con-
quered In turn by Angles, Danes and
Normans, they swallowed up all three
in the end and imposed their customs.
their language. their habit OF mind
and their institutions upon each Of the
invaders In turn. They would have
nothing to do with the half-developed
feudalism of Angles and Danes, nor
with the fulldeveloped feudalism OF
William the Conqueror and his follow
ers. The conqueror claimed that the
land was his and that every holder OF
land owed fcalty to him personally.
II took about 100 years for the Saxon
idea to prevail over the feudalistic
notion, and the result was magma
charta. The magma charta wrested
from King John by the barons was In
reality the shaking Of personal ale
glance to chieftain by the Norman
barons, aided by the Saxon gentry,
who had finally imbued them also
with their own love of Independence
and free government. They insisted
then, and have maintained ever since,
that they derived their rights. their
liberties and their laws not from .
king but from themselves. In the
days Of William the Conqueror their
king was elective. though chosen from
the reigning house. As late as 1853
the commons voted that King James
had r0aicated and that the throne was
vacant They chose their own rulers,
and no doubt would do SO again today
IL necessary II is much too long a
story to go step by step through the
tee tai OF this development 1t con

NOTES OF EVENTS
IN MOTOR WORLD

One of the questions which will be
presented at the F. A. NJ convention
in Sacramento is proposed change in
the design of the F. A. NJ. pin. The
present pin represents a single cylin-
der. while as matter of fact the most
of the motorcycles now built are twin
cylinders. 1t is therefore proposed
that more representative pin be
adopted A number of designs will be
submitted to the convention.
A motorcycle trip which will carry
hi mthrough at least 100 cities is being
made by Walter F. Walker of Bridge
port, Conn. Walkers journey is a
business trip, but he is also getting
a great deal of pleasure out of it. He
says that on a two-wheeler he can
much more satisfactorily visit the
trade than in any other way. A SINH
lar tour which he made last year was
said to be one of the longest trips of
the kind ever undertaken by motor
cyclist.
