PILGRIM FATHERS
MEMORY REV
ED
Today marks the three hundredth
anniversary "of the landing of the
Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock after
their long and perilous trip aboard
the frail bark, Mayflower. Through
Out the country old and young are
celebrating this great historical
event with suitable ceremonies.
Mayor. Baker recently appointed a
committee of Portland citizens head
ed by Wlnthrop Hammond to ar
range a suitable observance of the
day in Portland.
This morning, the pupils in the high,
commercial and polytechnic schools lis
tened to addresses by members of the
Sons of the American Revolution, each
of which was supplemented with patriotic
music, the reading of the Mayflower
compact and other interesting numbers.
PRINCIPLES ARE PRAISED
Williaip D. Wheelwright, in addressing
the girls at the Polytechnic school for
girls, said, in part : "The pilgrims whose
memory we honor today made conscience
the law of life and lifted integrity Into
religion. They had high ideas of educa-,
tlon and founded institutions of learning. ,
The seed they planted flowered Into a
veritable 'tree of life,' a national life
that has suffered deterioration in pro
portion as it has departed from the prin
ciples that they followed themselves and
that they tried to inculcate in others.
However, they failed in the application
of those principles, their ideals came to
them from the loftiest sources."
Robert Treat Piatt, addressing pupils
of the Lincoln high school, traced the
pilgrim from his inception to the final
landing in this country, and said that
both the religious and political laws laid
down by them are felt in the religious
life and tlfe federal government, its form
and its workings today.
SPEAKERS ARE 2TAMED

take up tomorrow for passage the
Fordney bill providing emergency
tariff duties on agricultural prod
ucts, wools and woolen manufac
tures, designed to afford relief to
farming interests.
Washington, Dec. 21. Despite the
repeated statements of Senator Boies
Penrose of Pennsylvania, chairman
of the senate finance committee and
leader in shaping the Republican
financial policy, that he was op
posed to "pop gun tariff legislation"
at the present short session of con
gress, the Fordney emergency tariff
bill was presented to the house just
before adjournment Monday, and an
attempt will be made to bring it up
underva special rule Wednesday.
Only the objection of Representative
de Wolt, Democrat of Pennsylvania.
prevented the obtaining of "unanimous
consent" td bring the measure up on
Wednesday, as had been advocated by
Representative Fordney of Michigan,
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee of the house.
Whatever opposition it meets in the
house will be slight compared to what'
is waiting for it in the senate, where
the Democratic steering committee has
virtually threatened to amend and fili
buster the bill to death if it is passed
