ME PILGRIM PAGE

( The celebration Of the tercentenary
Of the landing Of the PILGRIMS at Ply
mouth has. aside from it's pageantry,
serious message TO the people Of
today. It turns the mind to those
early times when men thought it
worth while ia brave any hardship, To
endure any fate, rather than to deny
the God OF their belief
In the history Of these stern and
rigid people are many pages that do
not rebound to their credit. The
quality Of mercy did not temper their
justice But they were strong in one
thing: They had the courage Of their
convictions. They believed in God
to be feared more than a God to be
loved. They believed that all wrong
doing merited punishment and they
had the hardihood to carry out the
DEGREES of justice as they saw it.
They were honest they were
courageous, they were just; but they
were not, when all Is said and done,
a lovable people.
They have passed and their de-
scendants are growing fewer as the
years go By. II is not alone the May
flower descendants who are rearing
the future citizens. 1t is also those
Of many races who have come across
the seas on mission much like that !
which animated the Pilgrim Fathers
The desire TO attain greater lib ,
erty, a larger freedom.
The Puritans were the trail blazers !
They did their work. To be descend !
ID from them in blood is something I
o cherish. To be one with them in
deals is within the reach of all.

WAS WATSON DRINK

Senator Watson's "hot southern
bleod" is in imperative need Of cool
ling. This reduction Of temperature
could well be accomplished at the
next election.
/ His performance at the Senate COM
mittee hearing Of his own charges
against the army in France was much
more suggestive Of southern corn

For the credit of the real people Of

United States Senate it would be a
relief to learn that Senator Watson
is drinking man and that his cellar
is still ample. In no other way could
an incident so outrageous be account
ed for with Christian charity
His denunciation OF the army Of
fcers Of the General Staff who were
in attendance on the hearing and
whom he cursed and insulted because
he said they "insulted him by their
looks was an amazing contribution
to Senatorial history. 1t stands to
the credit Of the army officers that
their moral courage was equal to the
extraordinary demand. II must have
been sore test Of patience and self
control for man whose profession is
fighting to have endured this coward |

No one can blame him for the feel

been hit more than We realize by the

CERTAINLY

Two little children stopped in front
of the Dispatch office yesterday
morning. One was a boy seven; the
other girl of five. The children were
discussing the topic which just now
is uppermost in the mind of every
child in Christendom, namely, Santa
Claus The little boy was on the
line that separates the Santa Claus
of grown-ups from the real Santa
Claus of Fairyland and was trying to
convince his little sister that Kris
Kringle was only myth or a crea-
ture of the imagination. The little
girl was not ready to let go of her
belief in Santa Claus, so she timidIy
opened the door of the Dispatch office
and stepped inside. "Thcrc is a Santa
Claus; isn't there" she inquired.
"To be sure there is" she was told.
Didn't you see his picture in the
Dispatch last Sunday? How could we
print his picture unless he really
was ?"
So the little tot went away happy.
Don't be in too big a hurry to de-
stroy the joyous illusions of child
hood 1t is all right to let the tots
know there is no such thing as
"boogher bear" no such thing as
bad man" that eats uD little children;
but let them go right on believing in
Santa Claus When they cross the
line they lose one Of their best friends.
They gaze into the heavens and see
he stars; %. mamma, are they
angels eyes?' Haste not the years
that make them wise"
