President in Tercentenary
Address in Academy
SAYS THEY TRIED COMMUNE
Se far Bg the audience Itself was con cen con
ccrned, Inst nlglit'H town meetins In
the Academy of Music, n part nf the
Urccntcnnry eetplirntlnn of the Pilgrim
Fathers, included some geed mul(",
two rnttllng geed spccchc and it house
filled with representative men aud
women of Philadelphia.
Hut te theie behind the fcetie there
rre, both before and after the formal
meeting. Incidents which carried with
them an impressive lesion in the power
of such celebrntlens for public geed.
The actors in these little, unpro unpre
crammed Incidents were former Presi
dent Taft. Mayer Moere, and -150 beji
and girls from the Helmes Junier High
Scheel Plftyllfth and Chestnut streets.
who were members of the chorus that
furnished much of the music.
There in prebablj net one of these
young students who is net better
equipped today te controvert the glit
tering theories of social revolutionists
and the communists. They line! listened
with rapt attention te Mr. Tnft as he
told of the failure of the communist
experiment made by the highly intelli
gent men and women who came ever
here en the Maj Mower and two follow
ing ships. And it was notable that the
applause that greeted his. eloquent de
ductions from this lessen came mere
fcpontaneeush from these bes nnl glrw
and was continued mere enthusiasti
cally by them than the rest of the au
dience. Faces Siiew Appreciation
Their elders lmd known of these
things before; te these jeun: students
it all came in something entirely new
nnd. a-, they listened te the ringing
words from the man who hml been
President of their cpiintn. the deep
Impression that the Idea was mukliu
upon them was shown cleat ly b. the
expression en their faces.
Later, when Mr. Taft came from the
tagc. the bes and girls bad gathered
te wait for him behind the scenes and
the reception the accorded him made
the jovial face of the former President
fairly beam with pleasure.
lie shook hands right and left,
franklv giving the preference te the
girls, but net by any means ignoring
the boys. And, when one boy mus
tered tip sufficient courage te ask for
an autograph, the big man took the
book nud said laughingly. "Well, my
bev, I'll tell ou I'll de it for jeu
If you'll premise net te get me into the
business."
Ten minutes Inter, when he emerged
from his dressing room te walk ever te
the nelieVtie-Strntfeid. he found bis
young friends gathered in Icut street,
waiting te honor him in n mere vocif
erous wav than was permissible inside
the building.
As seen as lie appeared coming
through the doorway, their cheer leaders
gave the signal nnd nil 4,0 fairly
strained their threats in their second
yell, followed by u ringing "Taft
Taft Taft!"
Mr. Tnft turned back with a frank
laugh of pleasure and raised his hat te
them. And they all went home, sure
that belshcvlsm must be wrong, first,
because Mr. Taft had said se, and sec
ondly, because the Pilgrim Fathers had
tried it and found it bad.
It was n great night for the Phila
delphia Maj flower committee, but it
was a greater one for the Helmes
Scheel.
Uefere the curtain went up, while
the bejs and girls were settling into
their scats en the ttage, their director,
Oeerge I.cHey Lindsay, spied Mayer
Moere going into the Oreen Roem and
asked him te come out nnd say n few
words te them while the Police Rand
was p!alng in front of the house.
There was a great stir among them
when the Mayer came quietly In nnd,
crowding up close among thefe ou the
front row, motioned for silence nnd
cupped his Imtiils se that he could speak
without his voice disturbing the nudl
cn.r.?,,'". ,ts enjoyment of the bnnd.
Olrls nnd bejs," he snld. "I don't
knew of an; thing better for you than
this interest ou nre showing iu music
pnrtleulnrlv singing. Music in any
feim is noed. There is n0 better iu
fltience for eung or old. Hut I think
jeu lmve chosen wisely In taking up
this chorus work and In learning te
sing.
"If mere people would lenru te sing
und would keep en singing, there would
be less unhappincs., lr.ss Ill-feeling, less
wickedness in the world. The man or
woman who sings Is'happj. And the
man or woman who is happy does net
feel like belnf wicked. Keen it up. It
will de you geed and de geed te the cit
jeu live In."
What Audience Did Knew
All of this, of course, was net en
the program nnd the audience knew
nothing about it. Hut the audience did
see nnd did knew that, for some reu-s
son, the students In the chorus formed
one of the most Interesting features of
the celebration after the curtain went
up.
Mayer Moere opened the meeting with
n few btief words, in which lip ap
pointed Tref. Rttfus M. Jenes ns "mod
erator." After Scripture reading nnd
n prayer by the Rev. Wllllnm Vnn
Derveer Herg, secretary of the com
mittee, the Rev. Canen K. A. Itnr Itnr
leughs, of Trinity College, Oxford,
nngl.md, chnplitin te the king, uim in
troduced. Canen RnrreiigliH made an earnest
plen for American participation In the
League of Nations. lie referred in
words of prnUe te the work Mr. Tnft
had done te found n league te enforce
peace, and he urged bis hearers te drnw
from the expeilment of the Pilgrims
the lessen that this ceuntrj should new
join in striving for a high unlvetsnl
Ideal as the forefathers strove for ii
high Idea in their own dnj
nationalities. Are you going te refuse
us new the expert help which America
alone can give?"
Hcfere Introducing Mr. Taft Prof.
Jenes added his plen for it sympathetic
ettitudc toward a family of nations te
preserve peace. He nreused laughter by
comparing us te the Rubject of n poet
who "was net among the great ones of
our language" and then he queted:
tlin IlKhtnlnx bus- Is brlttlnnt,
Hut hftsn't an- mind.
He blunders thrntiirh exttner
With hli headlight en behind
Fermer President Taft received an
ovation and wheu he rose te speak the
whe'e audience rose with him. He gave
n comprehensive history of the Pilgrim
Fnthers, Interspersing it here and there
with sallies of keen wif which were al
ways accompanied by that humorous
Taft chuckle which hns become one of
his most distinguishing characteristics
us a speaker.
After summarizing the historical facts,
Mr. Tnft continued :
"Net one of the towns hns ever be
come n city of grent Importance. They
left no written constitution thnt was
embodied in the fundamental law of the
succeeding state. They left no compact
body of people who continued their Iden
tity into the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries. They made no great declara
tion of principle which they sought te
spread through the world.
"They were n modest, Gedfearing,
rat nest, quiet company, who wished te
live unmolested In the enjoyment of
their religion and principles. They were
net propagandists. They did net seek
te expand their territerinl limits.
"Why is It, then, thnt the 21st of
December is celebrnted nlwnys us
'Forefathers' Day,' as if they were the
ancestors of our whole people? Why is
it thnt we se cngerly search for every
posslble circumstance connected with th
life of this colony, from 1021 te 1(51)2,
when it teased te be?
Tells the Reason
"It is because the lUes they led. the
principles which guides! them, the ideals
thnt they followed, are cherished today
by us an the cornerstone of our republic
and our civilization. Although the Pil
grims nud their colony died within a.
century, the power for geed of their
tenchiug nnd of their example can be
traced through three centuries. i
'lhey gave n conscience te our ceun-1
la"
tlenal life. This la why we com
memerate them. ...it
"In Kngland the event Is cherished
because the people of thnt country value
much an Kngllsh-snenklng union of the
nations of the world In maintaining the
stability and pcare of the world, and
they rejoice from their hearts at these
hlstorlcel evidences that the sources of
the strength, physical, moral nnd
spiritual, of this great republic were
In the mother country and constitute
nn Indispensable bend between us."
"In the first two years their crops
were peer, nnd they lived en very short
rntlens, They found difficulty In se
curing the necessary efficiency of lnber
under the commune system in spite of
the serious threat of starvation. Gov Gov
ereor Hrndferd departed from the prin
ciple of the commune te the extent of
assigning te each family group n parcel
for its private use and enjoyment.
Women Worked Willingly
"This effected a marked change. It
made all hands very Industrious. Much
mere corn was planted, cultivated and
garnered. He says, 'The women new
went willingly Inte the field nud took
their little ones with them te set corn,
which before would allege weakness nnd
Inability, nud te hnve compelled them
te de this would have been through grent
tyranny nnd oppression.'
"The experlcnce thnt wns had in this
common course nnd condition, tried
sundry years, and thnt nmeugst Gedly
nnd sober men, may well evince the van
ity of the conceit of Pinte and ether un
dents, applnuded by some of later times,
that the taking away of property, nnd
bringing n community Inte n common
wealth would make them happy nnd
nourishing, ns If they were wiser thnn
Ged. Fer this community, se fnr ns It
wns, was found te breed much confu
sion nnd discontent, nnd retard much
employment that would have been te
their benefit nnd comfort.
"In these days when our country is
endangered by the false views of these

litlcnl system thnt denies religion, nnd
