CHRISTMAS IN 1921
Rebuke Administered to New
England Observers of Day.
Young Men Who Had Arrived on Little
Ship Fortune Reprimanded
for Festivities.

1T WAS in 1921 that Governor Brad
L ford was called upon to administer,
a rebuke to some of the young men of
the New England colony who had just
come over on the little ship Fortune,
and who wanted to celebrate the hOli-
day, the Detroit News recalls. Puritan
ism brought over with 1t In the May
flower the anti-Christmas feeling, and
when the group of luSty youngsters at
tempted TO observe the day they were
sharply criticized by the colony.
The men were called out to work
that day as on other days, but the
newcomers declared it against their
conscienees to work on Christmas day.
The governor left them and led away
the rest Of the workers. But when he
returned at noon, the young men were
IN the street at plAy-some pitching
the bar and some playing stool ball.
He took away their implements and
told them It was against his conscience
that they should play while others
worked, and that they could observe
the day within doors, but there should
be no reveling In the streets.
On the day in question tree was
chopped down and dragged into one Of
the rough cabins where it was
trimmed with cranberries and pop
corn, while the young people toasted
their eyes on it's beauties. These ''rev-
elries'' were frowned upon by the ma
jority Of the colonists and in 1859 the
general court Of Massachusetts enacted
a law that made any person observing
Christmas day liable to fine Of "hve
shilllngs." The law was repealed In
1861.

to condemn it with all unpreiudiced persons who think

There be but just of the reward that
any person should receive for his work. whatever that
work may be- and that is the value of the service he

The parallel docs not extend further To some the

stronger than that of the southern states but any
the arguments in favor of Irish independence
quite different from those of the southern states and
;hc conditions radically different. The right of
secession claimed constitutional right. and the
argument against secession based upon sentiment
of national unity the result of half century

Ireland and the American Confederacv

When Premier Lloyd George drew a parallel between
Ireland and the Confederate States of America he was
partly right and partly wrong.
1t is true that the principle of selfdetermination,
recently proclaimed panacea for ancient political
wrongs would have given independence TO the southern
states of the American union, and it is also true that
the same principle, if impartiay applied would shat
ter the bonds of the British empire and would release
not only Ireland but many other parts of that empire
1t is also true that of the arguments against
Irish independence similar to the arguments that
were potent against the independence of the southern
eonfederacy The loss of the southern states involving
the alienation of the Gulf coast and of the mouth of
the Mississippi would have been national calamit, TO
the United States and it is easy sec that the esab-
hshment of independent Irish republic would be
vital injury to the United Kingdom And this is doubt

The Revival of Business

The prevailing note of business comment in quarters
where it is most worthy of attention is assertion of
Improvement coupled with impatence that things
are not returning more rapidly to what are commonly
thought to be normal conditions. Ii is noticeable that
the viewpoint of the business does not coincide
with that of the politician. The Republicans are in
cned to exaggerate the benefits of the change of ad
at Washington, while the Democrats are
equally inclined to take the pessmstic and to aunt
Republicans with their inability to obtain complete
and immediate remedy for all national ills
Business men of necessity impartial in their
Judgments, and they base their opinions upon facts
rather than upon theories desires And their opin-
ions valuable to others exactly in proportion as
they indifferent personal or political ADVANTAGES
Two opinions of this kind reprinted upon this
page one of them from Forbes Magazine the other
from the Manufacturers Record. II is not TO be cy
pected that they will have universal approval, but
they arc typical of what is being said by high class
business of present conditions and they are worthy
of attention for that reason.
