The four couples married on the ship
made their settlement on an island
In the Delaware River.
Who were these founders OF the
Empire Commonwealth? What did
they stand for? Who are their de-
scendants to-day?,
Though they had no aged Bradford
for a historian their documentary
history in the Netherlands archives
is full and clear. Driven out of their
homes by the ruthless Spanish inva-
sion of 1867 these Walloons fed into
"the land where religion was free
for all men," the republic which set
US the example OF every one of our
federal precedents and principles, as
both ADAMS and FRANKLIN have
written and which MADISON and
JEFFERSON so admired and followed.
These people were neither dream
ers nor "humorists," as Captain JOHN
SMITH called the Pilgrims, while they
were as God fearing as the beginners
Of New England. They stood for
pure family life, for the church, yet
with federation of other mems opin-
ions, and for farming, the true source
OF all legitimate wealth, while most
of them were skilled mechanics.
When New Netherland was organ
lied with a civil government and seal
the new country was officially named
Novum Belgium or, as the seal shows
(Terra), Nova Belgica, and PETER
MrNUIT was the Governor. 1t was
peremptorily laid down in the char
ter of the West India Company that
the land of the Indians not might be
but must be bought and paid for.
The Republic never accepted the doc
trine Of kings, emperors and prel-
ates that the lands of the heathen
belonged to European rulers.
AS pious as the Pilgrims, these
Walloons had church officer on the
ship who performed the four mar
riage ceremonies, led the daily sing
ing and prayers and comforted the
sick. Through prosecutions and long
exile from home, like the Pilgrims,
they we're mellowed and tempered
and 80 fitted to be pioneers in the
making Of the worlds greatest ma
tion and Of the typical American
State OF the forty-eight governments
which interfere with no mans con-
science 80 long as he obeys the coun-
try's laws and is good citizen. This
is the principle clearly laid down by
WILLIAM the Silent In 1875.
AS In the case of the Pilgrims in
New England, the later and much
larger influx OF the Puritans occulted
the story of the pioneers who sep
arated church and state, so in our
Middle States the coming of the
Dutch, French Huguenots and other
onalities-seventeen in all
threw the story of the Walloon
pioneers into shadow.
New York, State and city, will do
well to celebrate their centenary. A
reference to first principles may help
to correct present evils. All real
progress springs from a clearer in
sight and comprehension Of what is
old and tried.

The Three Hundredth Anniver-
sary of New York.

Three hundred years ago, on Au-
gust 81, in Leyden, JESSE DE FOREST,
ancestor of thousands of Americans,
petitioned the Government Of the
Dutch Republic to enroll families to
settle New Netherland, then only a
geographical expression. His request
was granted and the next year the
settlement of New York was begun.
Since HENRY HUDsoy's advent in
1909 there had been Dutch explorers,
fishermen and fur traders on these
shores; but until 1924 there were
no homes, farms, tillers of the soil
and inhabitants, with women and
children, who came to stay and build
up a commonwealth.
The reason was self-evident and
sufficing. Spain claimed as her own
half the world, including all America.
All other nationalities on the soil,
including French and English, were
regarded in Madrid as common bur-
glars. The massacre of French HUI
guenots in Florida was designed as
warning.
But the armies of the Dutch fed
eral republic, founded on free schools
and a written constitution, had tri-
umphed, and the Spaniards sought
and agreed upon an armistice or
truce of twelve years, from 1909 to
1921. For the Dutch, still belliger-
ents, to colonize New Netherland
while the question of ownership was
pending would have been a breach
OF honor and law. So no colonial
tion was attempted.
Meanwhile the republic was occu-
pied with internal struggles, like our
own twelve years from 1853 to 1865.
The question vital to the nation was
State rights as opposed to national
supremacy, and threatened secession,
led by BARNEvELDT and the aristoc-
racy. Opposed to him we're the union
sentiment and policy OF nationalism,
incarnated by MAURICE, son OF that
WILLIAM the Silent whom the people
had since 1867 called the Father OF
His Country.
This reality OF facts has been over
looked or concealed by most histo-
rians. who ignore the Dutch archives
or follow MOTLEY. The Dutch union
lists insisted on striking Spain in
her vitals by forming the West India
Company and colonizing America, to
which BARNEvELpr and the aristoc-
racy we're violently opposed.
The uniop cause triumphed under
its flag OF seven red and white stripes
the prototype of our own, for each
stripe represented the equality OF a
State, large or small, in the national
Senate. The West India Company
was formed. The new, clean ship
New Netherland, larger than the
Mayhower by eighty tons, was built.
II carried JESSE DE FORESTS company
OF thirty-one families, and in the last
days OF March, 1923. they cleared for
the land OF hope. Passing Sandy

DAMRosCH MUSIC LECTURE.

"Parsifal' was the subject OF Walter
Damrosch's second lecture recital in his
second series, given yesterday afternoon
in Aeolian Hall. A large and deeply in
terested audience heard his remarkable
eucidation of Wagner's great festival
play.
AS is his wont in these recitals, he sat
at the plano, played portions of the mu-
sic. recited from his own translation OF
the text, outlined in picturesque Ian
guage the various characters of the
drama and brought out the leading mu-
sical motives of the score. He remarked
that "Parsifal" contains many passages
of subllmest music. and again 1t shows
an inventive dullness due to old age The
orchestration he finds to be the most
perfect OF all Wagner's creations.

COLLECTOR J.P. CARTER
EXPLAINS INCOME
TAX POINTS

Calling attention to several misap
prehensions that had become prevalent
regarding certain provisions of the
new income tax law, John p. Carter,
collector of internal revenue, said in
a notice sent out today.
"Those who elect to pay their in
come tax in installments must paw
the first installment at the time of
filing their returns, which is not later
than March Is. Some taxpayers ap-
parently are under the erroneous inn
preston that they have until June
Is to pay their first installments,
which is not the case.
"The normal income tax on all
corporations has been increased by
the revenue act of 1921 from 10 per
cent to 12 1-2 per cent. The excess
profit taxes are abolished as of Jan.
uary and the increase in the normal
taxes on all corporations is meas.
ure incorporated into the act for the
purpose of recouping the revenues
for the loss sustained in the repea
of the excess profits tax"
Taxpayers should bear these points
in mind. Mr.. Carter said, and thus
avoid penalties for delinquencies.

WATERMELONS ARE
RIPE AND READY
FOR EATING
Clyde Bishop Has Large Patch Of
Luscious Melons Which Volunteered
and Are Now Fully Matured

Late last August Clyde Bishop, a
rancher on the Ralph ranch, two and
one-half miles northeast of Imperial
gave melon party. There
were 100 or more guests and the rinds
and seeds were scattered over the ward
and about an acre Of what had pre-
viously been the family garden.
Afew weeks later the seeds sprout-
ed and the vines began to grow. As
an experiment Mr.. Bishop gave the
vines some attention that is in the
way of cultivation and water. The re-
suit is that he now has a large patch
of full grown watermelons, properly
matured and ripened.
Friends and neighbors of Mr.. Ralph
pronounce the melons to be of excel
lents quality and sweetness, in fact
just as good as any ever grown in the
summer months.
P. c. Johnson, local realty man
brought 20-pound melon in from the
patch this morning and it is now on
exhibition in his office window at 137
North 9Th street. It's perfect speci-
man, and was the center of an inter

Tierney of St. James, Mo-, a diamond
drill runner employed by the federal
government at the Boulder canyon
damsite, 40 miles from here, was
drowned Dec. 20 when rising waters
of the Colorado river tore govern

from its moorings and swept it down
the river.
Word of the fatality was brought
here today by Walker R. Young, gov

preliminary work at Boulder canyon
damsite. Young said Tierney's body
probably would be found many miles
down the Colorado river, if it ever
was recovered. Storm conditions made
immediate search impossible, he said.
The United States government will
establish a camp at once at Black
canyon, 21 miles down the Colorado
river from Boulder canyon, for the
purpose of testing the Black can

Thirty-five men will be employed
in this preliminary work, according
to announcement here today by

.Tiller of Soil, Credited With
All Success That Has Come
to People of Imperial VAL
ley, Soil, Climate, Water

In the annual edition of the Sar
Diego Union, published last Monday
Winfield Barkley, director of the De-
velopment Bureau Of the Southern
Trust and Commerce Bank, has two
entire pages of matter devoted to the
Imperial Valley. Mr.. Barkley sets
forth in graphic form the story of
the development and growth of the
valley and tells of the wonderful re-
sources we have, which have made us
styled the Wonderland of the World"
Most of the facts set forth by Mr..
Barkley are known intimately to all
Of the people of the valley, but it is
the kind of advertising and publicity,
which in journal of the wide circu-
lation of the Union, is bound to do the
valley whole lot of good. A part of
Mr.. Barkley's leading story is given
here
There are within the boundaries of
the Imperial irrigation district 603,-
$40 acres of land. There are also $780,
600 acres of land south of the inter-
national boundary line which receive
water from the same irrigation sys-
TEN.
In order to obtain composite pic
ture of this agricultural storehouse,
let us consider few Of the crops
and acreage devoted to each. The fig
ures given are taken from the 1920
census:
Alfalfa, 92,229; barley, 69,43O acres
cotton, 126,430 acres; cantaloupes.
1910 acres; milo maize, $500 acres;
peas, 1858 acres; tomatoes, 1929 acres
and asparagus $50 acres.
The total exports from Imperial
valley were worth $51, 500, $40. To
this we must add $13,49O,461 of pro-
ducts consumed locally, making $685.
100000 as the grand total production
according to the last census figures.

velopment which has been accom-
plished in less than two DECADES? 1t

Viticultural Expert Will Hold
Series of Demonstrations in
Imperial Valley for Benefit
of the Grape Growers

In order that persons who have sue
cessfully grown vineyards to one year
Of age may become informed as to the
correct methods of pruning, the Ag-
ricultural Extension Service for I'm
perial County has arranged to have
five vine-pruning demonstrations in
different parts of the county, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, January 8,
10 and II.
Professor F. 7. Bioletti we'll known
not only I'm Imperial Valley, but all
/ through the state as an expert viii
cultUrist will demonstrate correct
methods of pruning on young and old
Malaga and Thompson Seedless vines.
AT the last Farm Bureau Travelling
Conference a stop was made on
Thompson Seedless vineyard which has
been grown and pruned according to
the advice of the University of Cali
fornia. The owner stated that his
vineyard had been so successful that
over 1900 acres in that district had
been changed over to this system.
This was in the famous Herman dis
trict in Fresno county, and is the So
called "Home of the Thompson Seed
less"
Professor Bioletti, who is head of
the Division of Viticulture of the Uni
versity of California; believes that
Malagas and similar varieties should
be pruned short or to spurs. Expert
ments recently conducted by the Uni
versity have shown however, that un-
der some conditions modified "long
pruning" known as Gordon" prun-
ing is advisable under certain condi-
tions. Several Malaga vineyards in the
San Joaquin Valley and at least one
in Imperial Valley are pruning after
this fashion now. Professor Bioletti
will lecture on and demonstrate this
method of pruning, as well as the

Quadruple Alliance Pledges
Japan's Safety Says CaIifor-
MIA Senator-Article Writ
ten on Armament Work

The article following is from the pen
Of U. S. Senator Hiram w. johnson,
who gives his Interpretation of the
new Quadruple Pacific Alliance for
the benefit of the people of California.
BY Senator Hiram w. Johns ion.
There was universal approvaFo of the
original purpose of the Wash tington
conference and substantial unanimity
IN the hope and desire that armaments
would be limited. Any results, Just
to the participants, lessening. arma-
ment, will be most cordially and en-
thusiast |eally welcomed.
But because We favor disarmament
and would make almost any sacrifice
for peace is no reason why we must
accept anything which may be ten
dered US in the sacred name of peace,
or under the guise of disarmament.
Out of the secrecy of the conference
has come, first, an unexpected treaty.
unrelated to the original purpose of
the gathering and unconnected in
reality with the limitation of arma-
ment
This treaty is of transcendent i'm
pOrtance to California and of onlv
less Importance to the nation. 1t
should be carefully and calmly stud
led, narrowly scrutinized and it's
meaning should be thoroughly under
stood, before we are irrevocably COM
mitted to it.
We have been through one period of
national hysteria and sentimental
emotionalism, in the contest over the
League Of Nations.
Time and the American people have
demonstrated the opponents of the
League were right.
The lesson of this recent expert
ence has been little needed if again,
without thoughtful consideration and
