THE: ANGLO-SAXON HUMRUG

Editor Herald:
 One of tho greatest humbugs erel perpetrated upon the American people is that which pretends that the Eng lish-srea king in Ina bitants of the Unit ed States are all Anglo-SaXons. During the tercentenary celebration | now almost upon us, every effort vii be made to show that all the goolI ness, all the greatness, and all th:- progress that the United States has made since we separated from Great Britain has been due to the Anglo Saxon element It is the duty of every citizen who loves the truth, whether he can really say he is of Englisk descent or not, to take a stand against this humbug. and to show that this is not th" United States of England but the United States of America.
 Over in England there is not half as much hub- dub uttered about the glo-SaSonSm of the United States as there is here among ourselv s: "nd were it rot for tic political ;G- vartages gained thercfrom. th ., would be very little glorificat;on o-'r' there about the Pilgrims and :,> Mayflowcr as there is likely to la within the next month.
 For instance the correspondent :n F-l1S itIti ol lIiN AonSTCSaLlOna1lSC, n organ Of the descendants, religiouslv at least. of tho Pilgrims in this coun- :IN. says in a recent letter to that paper:
 II wish I could report that tha. Crmmemoration had really stirred fh '0cp waters of our national life. But thc truth would not be in such a statement
 In other words, tho British people themselves arc not bothering them selves much about the tercentenarv celebration Of the Pilgrim Fathecs, md the who!c thing so far as Eng land is concerned is an artiffcially stimulated 9ffair.
 Of course the official classes see in it an opportunity to play at being great friends and cousins of Ameri- cans But the correspondent just quoted expresses his dislike for soms features of that participation. For example, he says that at the South ampton celebrations Lord Reading appeared as a speaker. It was rather iud!crous that Lord Reading. a Jew should have been chosen for the oc- casion. says the correspondent par ticularly as he confessed only few months ago that he thought George Washington went to America with the Pilgrims.
 This is on par with what hap pened in one of the English ency- clopedias about George Washington, once upon a time. The publication in question claimed that George Washington was born in England.
 There is quite a rage to make an Englishmen out of George now. but when he took the field against tho British there was no such eagerness to claim him. Anglo-SaNon blood, now so often referred to as being thicker than water, did not prevent the ruling class of England from going after Washington and his as sociates with all the power they could muster or hire
 That the Mayf1ower Pilgrims were good and worthy men, according to their lights. no one will deny; but to try to make out that they were the apostles here of all the good that has come to America since, is pure buncombe.

Sunday Fans Wished
to Punch Ump's Nose

Baltimore, May 3.-Two Intcrna-
tional League umpircs, Werner and
Derr, were accorded rough treatment
here yesterday in the game between
Jack Dunns Orioles and Dick Hob
litzell's Akron, O.. team, and had it
not been for police protection serious
results might have enSuPd.
The gam" was finally won by
Akron by Il score Of 8 to S, and it
was decision by Werner at second,
on the last Oriole out in the ninth,
that caused all the trouble.
Police came to the rescue and es-
corted the Jump" to his dressing
room. The players were finally kept
busy pulling each other away from
the umpir" and trying to get out of
the wHy of the mob.
The fans, in their anxiety to get
ut Werner, lcaped from the stands
like wildcats and some were so heavy
that their weight smashed the roof
