T murder can be procured in New York for @ price as low as «NO. 19,480 five dollars is shocking evidence of conditions which the gang system has developed under the noses of the police. The confession obtained by the District-Attorney from the youth- fal gangster Snyder, who admits he was paid five dollars for shooting Philip Paul, « South Street aaloon-keeper, gives an extraordinary @limpee of how surely and cheaply boys and young men are drawn fate crime circles and made adepts in lawlessness. | The most pernicious criminal the city harbors is the instructor tm crime. A few days ago “the worst Fagin in New York”—so the police all him—a man with a long criminal record, arrested twelve times and convicted five, who for twenty years has made a specialty of teach-| fag emall boys to commit all sorts of crimes, was fined $500 and sen- tenced to one year in prison. He pleaded guilty to the charge of im- pairing the morals of a fifteen-year-old boy Justices in Special Sessions refused to extend meray to the prisoner. They pronounced him “an habitual criminal who ought to he sent to prison for fife.” But did the punishment actually imposed | fit the offense?

LITTLE ship, bound for the south, lost its way, blundered northward and came to anchor off the snowbanks of the Mass# chusetts coast. Thus, on Dec, 22, 1620, the one hundred and opg. men and women who had hoped to settle in a warm and sunny, Smate in the New World landed on a “stern and rockbound shore,” where zero temperature filled the air and Indians and wild beasts filled the woods. It was not a cheery start in life. Some years earlier a number of Englishmen had left home becausd they were not allowed to worship God in their own way. They emigrated ; to Holland. But war between Spain and the Netherlands made their plac@ ,of refuge unsafe. So a band of the more daring—the “Pilgrims,” as they, Were called—set sail for America. They chartered two ships—the Maye | flower and the Speedwell. The Speedwell’s captain lost his nerve a few | days out and put back.

But the Pilgrims had no choice. The dead of winter had come; they were short of food; the nearest English settlement was five hundred mile@ |away, even if they had known how to reach it. Behind them lay thre@ thousands of miles of angry ocean. There was nothing to do but go forwatty And forward they went. They drew up an agreement and lawe for their new colony, and set work at butiding the town of Plymouth. Higginson describes the first wimeg in their new home. “They were 1il-housed, ill-fed; one-half of them died of scurvy an@ other diseases. At times there were but six or seven sound persons wh@ could tend upon the sick and dying. “Yet thie desperate venture marked the turning point in our count history. Up to that time the other English colonies—even in Virginia—hi languished. With the coming of the Pilgrims, the English-speaking raeq@ gained its first firm foothold on the shores of the New World, The Mayflower’s passengers were just the sort for such a colony, Them came from the “lower” and “lower-middle classes.” They were strong, feare less, hardy, deeply religious, bred to tireless work. They numbered amo; them a@ cooper, carpenters, an apothecary, a tailor and several soldiers. \ the last-named group Capt. Miles Standish was the leading spirit. One the artisans was John Alden, who cut out Standish in the colony's firet love affair, (John Billington, another of the artisans, was the first white mam hanged in New England.) They were an tron race who throve on hardships. No lesser men could have carved a permanent oolony from such materials as New England offered, And the grim zeal that made them crogs the ocean to gain religious | freedom prevented them from granting the same freedom to any later sete tlers who chanced to differ with them on religious topics. It also cropped out in the names they gave their children. Such names as “Humility,” “Wrestling-in-Prayer,” “Faith,” “Resolved,” “Remember,” and “Hold-thes Faith.” One poor unfortunate was even saddled with the amazing first name “Bind-the-Kings-in-Chains-and-the-Captains-with-Links-of-Iron.” In spite of their courage and strength the Pilgrims must have died off | starvation during those terrible first months but for the kindness of the |local Indian “King” Massassoit, who befriended them, supplied them with food, forced the braves to abstain from war against them, and in a thous | sand ways lightened their unbearable burdens. By way of gratitude, the |New Englanders, u few years later, destroyed both of Massassvit'’s eons and | grabbed all their ancestral territory.
