spondent is right and frantic poll
ticians have yanked successfully at
Mr.. Cox's coattails. The other Dos
sioility is that Mr.. Cox tried to figure
out how much Republican gold it
would take to buy up the entire coun-
try pursuant to the Maine precedent
and that his adding machine broke
down IN the process. The only GER
tainty. is that the Republicans have
lost one of the best lines of CAM
paignlng that Presidential candi-
date ever conducted in behalf of his
opponent. The only hope-and it
really seems more than a hope--is
that Mr.. Cox will soon hit upon
something equally cheap, equally
false and equally certain to convince
voters of his fitness for any Office
within the scope Of ward politics.

From Bishop c. II. Brent

1t is happy thing that we are able
to turn what was once an agent of
separation into bond Of union. The
Mayflower, which took British subjects
far afield in order that they might
achieve the freedom that they were un-
able to secure at home, now comes back
tc England 800 years later, freighted
with good will from the descendants of
the brave adventurers of 1920. These
are days Of fellowship, and nothing
should keep men apart except irrccon-
cilablc differences. Such differences do
not exist between America and Great
Britain. Each of US has his own ma
tonal character, but our ideals are one
and our purpose is one. With the spirit
Of adventure which inspired the Pilgrim
Fathers let us hand in hand launch out
into brave effort to serve the whole of
mankind.

The Message of the Pilgrims
As Interpreted BY americans for The Tercentenry Number
of The Landmark Organ of the Englsh-Speaking Union
From Ex.Presidcnt William Howard

From Ex.Prcsidcnt William Howard
Taft
The conscience OF the United States
begins with the Plymouth colonists and
was exemplifed by the writing in the
cabin of the Mayfiower. They were
representative of a great body of re-
sponsible, God-fearing, strong, self
searching and persisting individuals,
many of whom remained in England
and strengthened her. The rule of the
people under the laws of God was their
political creed They were milder and
more tolerant than the Puritans. They
were more practical and less schismatic
than Roger Williams's followers. They
were a moderate, just, courageous, hum
Bile group, who wrought much for the
moral tone of the American people.
They made much for common con-
science of the two great English speak
ing nations. Though three centuries
have elapsed since they landed, the best
of American and English character is
still to be traced to them and their in
Auence, and the further either country
departs from their ideals the worse
for it.

'hat Is, encountered the hardships and
risks of the enterprise, had a share of
the stock (value S10) assigned to him
without payment Of money, and an addi-
tional share for his wife, and for each
child over sixteen years of age. This
method of organizing q stock company
remains to this day highly suggestive.
Those who went" were called the
Planters. They ultimately bought out
all the Adventures. The company was
to feed, clothe, and build shelters for all
the Planters, and was to be entitled to
the proceeds of their labor during four
days of every week, the product to 20
into the company's store. At the end
OF seven years the whole property of
the company was to be divided among
the shareholders and the contract of the
Planters with the company was to ter
inmate. 1t took the Pilgrims only about
year and half to learn that even
specially selected men and women would
not work ns we'll for the company as
they would for their own families. even
when the colony was threatened with
serious scarcity Of food A new allot-
ment of land was promptly made, and
the product Of work on that land went
directly to the family which provided
the labor. 1t was their private prop
erty.~ The Pilgrims learned quickly, by
their own experience, that the doctrine
of mo private property" was imprac-
tlcable, even in q community bound to-
gcther by religious convictions. To this
day, people of American stock believe
heartily in private property, individual
and family thrift and the transmission
of savings to descendants. The teach
ings of Lasallc and Marx therefore take
no hold on Americans.
(2) The Pilgrims were very different
from the Puritans, with whom they are
often confounded. They were more
tolerant in religion; were not guided
by Calvnistic ministers as the Puritans
were, and. unlike the Puritans, never
had a suffrage limited to church men,
bers, or any established church. They
practiced the federation in religion
which five generations later was en-
bodied in the Constitution of the United
States.

Lest We Forget!
Reminders of the Beginnings of
Freedom ii, America

'SNUOHt ~ SIHfCfi(Q
To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir: At Provincctown, Mass. there
were celebrations on August 20 and so
Of the three hundredth anniversary of
the arrival Of the Pilgrims off Amcri-
can shores. There are to be celebra-
tions on the Niagara frontier, in New
York. and at Norfolk, Va, on Septem-
Der "a, 20, 27, 2S and 20 and October
1 to II inclusive, respectively.
These serve as reminders of the be-
glnnlnGs of the nation and of free in
stItutlons in America the most mo-
mcntous in all history.
AS the sources Of mighty rivers can
be traced to tiny mountain streams
and ripping rivulets. so there can be
seen, as in spiritual camera, the ori-
gins of this great nation when we
visualize The happenings Of those days
that saw the coming of the stalwart
Mayllower pilgrims to this side Of the
Atlantic. They and, later on, the Puri-
tans bravcd ill-charted seas and un
known perlls to found a common
wealth where liberty would be an in
alienable right for themselves and
their postcrity. There is no parallel
in history to this advent of the seven
teenth century Argonauts.
1t is difficult for US at this dav to
realize fully the dangers and obsta-
cles through which they steered their
ship of government or the shoals and
quicksands that lay in the path of
progress and glory. 1t was truly
herculean task!
In the rush and turmoil Of modern
life. among the crowds of humans liv-
ing under the beneficent agis of the
Stars and Stripes and who enjoy the
large liberty purchased by the fore
fathers, we are too apt to forget the
past in the intensveness of the pres
ent. Well, therefore, is it to have
these anniversary commemorations, so
that VIC may look backward for a space
on the nanoramas of yesterday that
make possible to-day the winging Of
the sending Of the products of our
wondcr-Working machinery to the vcry
ends Of the earth.
And while reviewing the material
side Of this phenomenal evolution let
us not forget the spiritual. Fittinglv
should we honor those who laborcd in
the subtler laboratories of the mind
to determine our laws, our orderly
methods Of government, our financial
system and the higher things of life
that are included in true Americanism
and American ideals and character.
This heritage we owe to the settlers
and pioneers and the makers of our
Constitution. Let US hand down the
legacy intact and inviolable.

From President 4. Lawrence Lorcll
Of Harvard

Men learn, proverbially, nothing from
the experience of others; but men or
nations are unfortunate, indeed, who do
not learn from their own experience.
One Of the lessons of the war is that
peoples with the same principles of in
ternational justice and of pacific respect
for the rights of others should stand
together against predatory attempts to
advance selfish national interests by
force. Nor is it enough to fight side by
side after war has begun; it is essential
to know that this will be done. BY
fighting alongside the nations won the
war; but had it been known that they
would do SO there would have been no
war. Let us hope that the peoples to
whom this periodical appeals will learn
that lesson.

Mysterious MIR. Cox

Governor Cox continues to talk in
riddles about his attitude toward the
league covenant. Is he for the Will
son covenant fiat or for a covenant
with the reservations for which a
majority Of the Democrats in the
Senate voted? TO get ratification
would he make concessions to the
Republican, Democratic reservation
lists? Bhese are practical questions
which the Democratic nominee
lodges answering.
In his telegram to Professor Irving
Fisher Mr.. Cox simply keeps in mo-
tion the old Wilsonian verbal tread
mill. He says he is determined to
secure 1.-The earliest possible entrance
into the League of Nations. with the
least possible reservations needed to
accomplish that result" This mere
ly echoes White House antiquities.
Mud is transparent compared with
this.
Mr.. Cox, when his eye is on
Washington. hints that he is a min
imalist on reservations. His eye
elsewhere, he is a maximaliSt to the
degree necessary. He justifies eclec-
ticism because his double-faced plat
form permits reservations which
clarity and reassure," while ban
ming such as "nullify and Destroy"
Mr.. Cox. however, resolutely re-
fuses to explain what reservations
will clarity and what will nullify.
The only concrete. specific reserva-
tions before the country are those
attached to the treaty in the Senate.
Does the Democratic nominee op-
pose the Senate reservation to Arti-
