How Do They
Make EN- This Way!

While "You, Us & Co." pay up our
little $40, or $50 or 800 in income
taxes without a word, a certain
young person in New York of the
name of Reginald Vanderbilt, is
making Uncle Sam work hard to get
what the said Reggie owes him.
It seems that Reginald's income
for the year was about six hundred
and fifty thousand dollars-not for
life, dye mind, but for one yearl
He sent Uncle Sam a check for 49,
500, or about half of one cent on the
dollar. Under the law, the check
should have been $4,000, or about
five and a half cents on the dollar,
and the government sued for the
difference. 1t now transpires that
young Vanderbilt's learned lawyers
are fighting the case tooth and toe
nail through all the courts, so that
it will probably take many years to
settle it.
We can't understand the thing at
all. Here is country and a govern
ment that makes it possible for this
young man to stick ree-quarters
of million of dollars into his pants
every year, but he refuses to obey
its laws or help the government to
pay its expenses. And what a small
thing it was-if he had paid the
$4,000 without murmur, Reggie
Vanderbilt would still have had left
well over 100000 for the year.
How do they make 'em that way,
anyhow

Health Service, now in this state,
waging a fight on trachoma, to the

preventive medicine. His actions in
calling on Kentucky county health
officers to render assistance in this

clared, is in keeping with a resolu-

Pay Of Express Men Cut

The Railroad Labor Board has or
dered wages of employees of the
American Railway Express Company
reduced cents an hour, August
1st.
No reduction of express rates is
contemplated at this time as a result
of the wage cut, express company
officials said. It is estimated that
approximately $s,OO0,OOO will be
sliced off the annual labor bill of
the company by the reduction. The
company employees between 10000
and $4,000 workers.
In its petition to the Labor Board
several weeks ago, the company ask
ed restoration Of the rates of pay
in effect prior to the boards $780,
100000 wage award to express en-
ployes on August 10, 1920, A uni
form increase in rates of 16 cents
an hour was granted by that deci-
sion. Today's ruling takes away a
little less than half of the 1920
award.

the ocean and settle in the wilder
ness, Bradford writes, 'But they
knew they were pilgrims, and looked
not much on those things, but lift
up their eyes to We heavens, their
dearest cuntrie, and quieted their
spirits; for they had other work in
hand, and another kind Of war to
wage and maintain"
We are apt to think Of the Pill
grims as a severe, stern people, and
strictly virtuous, yet lacking in the
gentler qualities Of the Christian
character, but let us recall a we'll
known instance which proves that
forbearance, patience and tenderness
were their strongest characteristics.
Tn November, 1921, only a year
after the Pilgrims had landed, ship
bearing thirty five new colonists ar
rived. Not one of them had tools,
food or clothing other than for his
immediate needs. Yet the forefathers
shared with them as brothers, and
as a result there was not a time dur
ing the next two years when they
were not in great need of food and
clothing.
The Pilgrims showed what their
standards of character were when
they chose their Elder, Mr.. William
Brewster. He was a Christian gentle
man, who had gladly sacrificed So
cial position, suffered Imprisonment,
and gone into voluntary exile for eye
Kingdom of God and Religions
sake"
Bradford's description of his life
long friend is most satisfying. "1n
teaching he was very stirring and
moving the affections; also very
plain and distinct in what he taught,
by which means he became the more
profitable to his hearers" OF Brew
ster's sympathy and kindness Brad
ford writes, "He was tender hearted
and compassionate of such as were
inmisery, but especially of such as
had been of good estate and rank and
were fallen into want and poverty,
either for goodness or religions
sake. "But," adds Bradford, "none
did more offend and displease him
than such as would haughtily and
proudly lift up themselves, being
risen from nothing, and having little
else in them but a few fine clothing
or little riches, more than others"
Surely we can tell our children of
no nobler heroes than the Pilgrims
whose character is best described by
those words of James," first
pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy
to be entreated, full of mercy and
good fruits, without Partially and
without hypocrisy"
For those who would know more
of these courageous people, we re-
commend William Bradford's His
tory of Plymouth, published by the

The Pilgrim Character

led out Of Egypt, the little shipload
of outcasts who landed at Plymouth
are destined to influence the future

ell.
When an American Of today reads
that volume which was written three
hundred years ago, William Brad
ford's History of Plymouth-he is
apt to wonder how he would con-
duct himself if he were placed in a
situation similar to that of the Pill
grims when they decided that they
must leave Holland. But he knows
very well that neither his own early
training nor that which he is giving
! his children is conductive to the de-
velopment of the most distinguish
ing characteristic of the Pilgrims
absolute conservation to an ideal.
Persecution, Imprisonment and
their own desire and determination
to secure religious freedom haG
taken the Pilgrims to Holland in
1907. There they had been safer and
happier than in England, for at that
time Holland was more advanced in
tellectually than any other country
of Europe and under the House of
Orange, religious freedom was grant
ed alike to Protestant, Catholic or
Jew. But though the Pilgrims ad-
mired the Hollanders and enjoyed
their "fair and bewitiful cities, flow
ing with all sorts of wealth and
riches" they regretted that their own
children were destined to lose the
traditions and language of England
if they remained in a foreign land.
After long and prayerful considera-
ton the forefathers decided that
their love of God, their dream of civil
government based on Republican
equality and the preservation to pos
terity of their own customs and
ideals were dearer to them than
peace and safety in Holland; in
1920, therefore, they undertook a
second and a greater exile.
How many of us, for the love of
God and loyalty to an ideal, would
have the courage to part forever
from the comforts of civilization.
leave many of those who were dear
est to us. take a dangerous and sell
DOM tried ocean voyage, and make a
home in the wilderness-in short, to
voluntarily go into exile?
When they arrived in America
"they had no friends to welcome
them, nor inns to entertain or re-
fresh their weather beaten hodys, no
houses or much less towns to repair
TO, to seek for succoure." Five
months after landing the Mayflower
returned to England, leaving on the
American shores only forty nine of
the one hundred and one passengers
who had landed, the others having
died from exposure to the hardships
of life in the wilderness.
The Pilgrims did all these things
and did them cheerfully, bravely,
accomplishing. II did not occur to
them that they were martyrs, be-
cause their matchless faith in the
goodness of God to those who did
His will caused them to believe that
all things would work together for
their good.

the Pilgrims to material comfort and
prosperity and their decision to cross
