 For three centuries they have been coming. our rifgrims. First from a rcya1ist England; religiously intoler- ant, to land cTl Plymouth soil; then from landlord ridden Ireland from Kaiser cursed Germany; from Rus siA of the Czar and the pogron and Siberian slavery; from tyrant infested Balkans; from the whole of aristocrat infested Europe. Tn little> ships and great ships, their faces turned hope fully Westward the number1ess pill srinns came. of many tongues, dis united, singIy and in pftiful little groups.
 Today our pilgrims are going back. Side by side, shoulder to shoulder, in united companies. in one uniform of Freedom, one and all Americans and ore and all American men, thousands, hupdred of tl1ousands of our pilgrims gre returning to Europe, heads up and eyes fearless, ali chanting the same song, all marching under the one flag.
 The like the world has never seen. Tbis Is the true product of the melt ing pot For we'll nigh three hundred years they came silently and separate from ten thousand towns and cities; today, welded together inseparably, they go back carrying the Holy Grail of Democracy they came to Afrleri-
 Pilgrims? They came as pilgrims. seeking they return as crusaders. be- slowing. Democracy they sought; Democracy they found; Democracy they will bestow.

EDITOR
The Purchasing Department

AZ matter Of prncipI" the COMMITTEE" Of the
board of supervisors that faeorS doing away with
the purchasing agent for III" city and county is
wrong
The only thing that can b" cited in favor of wir
ing out the purchasing department is the signal
failure of the administration Of the office during
the recent months under review.
When the system inauguratrd under Pur-
chasing Agent Bolts it WAS generally found 10 he u
success. And the record Indicates that it is the
old story Of the man the job rather than the
system that is at fault.
The ma jOrity Of the committee made up Of Super
visors Mott Smith and Mcclellan state that one
of two things should be done: "Eithcr rPOrganizc
the department, giving it considerably larger force
and more power. or do away with it,
The answer to be made to this bv Il rombinai ion
of men bent gaining efficiency in III" government
of the city is to take the action thai will best pro
tect the money Of the taxpayers.
IT the principle of the purchasing department is
right and the best business methods Of the present
day indicate that it is. there : just thing for
competent managers to do-dcvrIOp the department
along the lines that will make it what Il purchasing
department should he.
The supervisors have everything to work with.
They have the Legislative authority, the means and
the opportunity.
