1t is interesting to study the effect
of emigration on people and races.
Let us take a backward observation,
not going outside the English stock.
Before the Pilgrim Fathers landed in
America, although saturated with
English ideas, they deliberately pro-
ceeded to organize a government on
most democratic lines in the cabin
of the Mayflowcr, with a written
document as a sort of constitution
and they set that government in mo-
ton as soon as they got ashore, and
the colonies which followed them
at Salem, Boston, Hartford and New
Haven did substantially the same
thing, and the reports which soon be-
gan to go back to Old England of
these self governmental experiments
awakened great interest in the moth
er land, particularly in the western,
central and eastern counties which
were most permeated with Puritan
ideals, which meant the right of the
people of the colonies, telling how
the settlers had arranged a govern
ment of their own, and how from time
to time all came together in town
meetings to discuSSS public affairs,
and that each man had a voice and
vote i'll choosing representatives who
met as a local parliament and legislat-
ed for the common good, caused much
discussion and famed the fires OF
liberty which had long been burning
IN the hearts of Englishmen, which
was a strain OF heredty from old
Ieutonic days. but more recently set
glowing by reading the Bible in their
own tongue.
And these reports regarding the
freedom of EngliShmen in America
inspired and encouraged the stay-at-
home people to greater boldneSs in
detying the uSurrationS OF the Stuart
kings. 1t is a tradition that Oliver
Cromwell and Ohm Pym had once en-
gagged ship passage to America; then
thought better OF it, and determined
to stay and tight out the struggle for
liberty in the home land.
And not only did emigration pro-
duce self-governmcnt in America; see
also the same outcome under the
Southern Cross in Australia. New
Zealand and South America: the En-
glish settlers of those countries have
almost rioted i'll liberty; all manner
OF advanced governmental republican
ideas have been tried.

Is the anniversary OF the brheading
OF Charles |, whose memory such per
sons hold sacred. That such an event
could have taken place at all in 1910
shows what an advance had then been
made on the high road toward Eber
ty, and although the tide of king
worship and despotism flowed back
again, and reached high-water mark
under his son James II, the daring
execution OF Charles showed a deep

WILSON is NOT GUILTLESs.

Ever since his Inauguration Democrats have taken
great pride in the domnancy of President Wilson. He
has been the master Congress and heads of great
parments have been fgureheads. The president
cracked the whip and every Washington fell into
line. 1t pointed that President Wilson felt his
great responsibility and in consequence insisted upon be-
ing the government The success failure Of the ad-
mnistration depended upon Mr. Wilson and him was
due the credit blame. If such the case and no
doubts it, why is it that Democrat has come to
the defense of the administration in transactions
Santo Domingo? The appointment of Sullivan was made
by President Wilson He is responsible here as eYse-
where. Some Democrats condemn, others Taught but
none offers defense.
Many acts of the administration are ndeensibe
They cannot be justified grounds of expediency let
alone on moral righteous patriotic grounds There is
no defense that be made If such be the case the
president is responsible To him belongs the odium He

much as political methods of buying
elections would allow, till George III
came on the stage, the example of
the mother country in deposing and
choosing king was not lost on the
English colonies in America, and
when the causes which led to the
American Revolution were gathering,
the world witnessed on this side Of
the ocean another illustration of un-
Ike parties and sentiments drawn to-
gether and fused by common love of
liberty; for the people of the northern
colonies whose grandfathers had fol-
lowed Cromwell, were joined and SUD-
ported by the aristocratic settlers of
the southern colonies whose fore
bears had fought them under Charles
|. 1t was the same forces and cur
rent of liberty in each case. The ex-
ample of self government in Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut neryed the
commons of England to resist the
despotism Of Charles |, which finally
had its fruitage in the deposition OF
2mes ii and choice Of William and
Mary, and that action of a majority
