enjoyable holidays OF the
year. SO at this time we pause occar
sionally in the mad rush Of the twen-
tieth century to give thought to them.
Next year the ftercentenary Of their
landing will be celebrated with con-
siderable pomp and ceremony in the
United States, England and Holland.
Every American schoolboy of course
knows that the Pilgrim Fathers Off
cally landed on Plymouth Rock. and
thrt the famous rock Is at Plymouth,
Mss. But there are comparatively
few Americans who know that the first
sundlng of the Pilgrims was at
1rOvincetown. Mass, and are familiar
villa their doings during the month.
1hc Mayfiower lay In the quiet har-
b inside Cape God.
There was no Proyincetown there.
of course, in 1920, but Cape Cod was
there and Its name was Cape Cod.
In 1902 Bartholomew G0snold. the ex-
plorer, had visited the region and had
found Goldfish 30 plentiful that he had
just naturally called the long narrow
neck Of land Cape Cod. Ever since
there has been any Provlncet0wn,
however, its people have been sensl-
tive on the subject of its claims TO first
honors. That's why Provincetown
now has a monument on High Pole
hill. Many years were required to
raise the money for its erection.
The landing Of the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth was a slow job. The congre-
cation Of John Robinson at Leyden
procured from the London company
for Virginia patent of land and made
financial arrangements for the sailing
of part of their number. The Speed
well of 60 tons, was purchased in H0i-
land, and In July 1920 It sailed to
Southampton. England. There the
Mayflower of $50 tons was awaIting
1T. The two ships with about 10 pas
sengprs put TO sea i'm August The
Speedwell was soon reported leaking
and both ships put In at Dartmouth.
At sea again. the Speedweli was sec
.ond time reported leaking and return
was made TO Plymouth. Il was not
discovered until later that the aIatm
over the Speedwell was due to lbs mas
ter's trickery. The Speedweii was
abandoned at Plymouth and the size
OF the party reduced. The MayAower
left Plymouth alone early in Septem-
der.
In nine weeks II sighted the shore
of Cape Cod. Being far out Of their
course the Pilgrims headed south. But
n few hours later the course was again
changed for the nearest shore. Sat
-urday, November II CT n. 81. 1920,
the Mayflower rounded Cape Cod and
found harbor.
This radical change Of destination
introduced a complication Some of
the hired laborers threatened 10 break
loose from their engagements on land
ii, ecause Of the loss of the author

some form of civfl government TO unite

insurrent was imperative So the IA

of Voltaire, the greatest author of his
time. the father of French democracy,
whose writings overthrow kings and
annihilated principalities. But to
speak of Voltaire's works is sufficient,
for there are very few people who
have not some knowledge of the great
Frenchman.
The Leader has an autographed edi-

the complete works of Voltaire. This
set of books cost $500 and can be seen
at The Leader Office, where it can be

Two hundred dollars for a set OF
books sounds like big money, but when

FOOLISH PROCEDURE

If news dispatches are correct in stating that John E. Ba!laine, the townsite promoter at Seward. IS in Washington vigorously opposing the work of the Alaskan Engineering commission and the appropriation for completing the railway t ap- pears a most senseless and foolish proceeding says the Valdez Miner, While Seward has not benefited as much from the building of the rail way as other towns to the westward. the fact still remains that it must be the ultimate benefactor, as Tu traffic during the winter months must pass directly through the city. Mir Ballaine's opposition to the Commission from personal motives bids fair to do much damage to Seward unless he can be restrained
 The Commission has performed wonderful work and should be praised instead of censured. The money spent is in the nature of gift from the gods and if the appropriation is killed or the work goes into the hands of private parties irreparable damage will be done. Every inducement should be
