there aren't, John said. Article III of the Bill of Rights forbids it, and what's more, he poured out in the next breath before this scahdalous person could make another sucfi remark, it forbids un- reasonable searching of our homes or seizure of our property without a war- rant. Why, Columbus couldn't be any prouder than I am right now, the Pil- grim said. Now unburden thyself of all the current gossip about the witches. How many have they burned lately? Why none. My goodness, you cer- tainly don't get around much! Don't you know that everyone is entitled to a public trial by an impartial jury and has visitor. But there just must be a catch somewhere. What about the powers not delegated or prohibited by the Consti- tution and this Bill of Rights? Those powers are reserved to the states or the people, john answered pa- tiently. That's good enough for me, the Pilgrim said, buttoning his black frock coat and wiping off the silver buckles on his shoes in preparation for departure. He stopped at the door saying, There's just one more question I'd like to ask you. What was the name of the song that was playing when I entered? It's called 'America', john ans- wered proudly. a counsel for his defense. Besides, even if they are guilty, they don't have high fines or unusual punishments. And what was the line after 'land of the pilgrim's pride'? john answered solemnly, From every That is news, said john's uninvited mountain side let freedom ring.

6Land of the Pilgrim 'S Pri ' john Standish frowned as the strains of America poured forth from the radio beside the couch, instead of the sentimental dance music that he had an- ticipated. My f0llIl'll'-J! fir of lhee Sweet land 0 liberty Of thee I ring. Land where our fatloerf died Land of the Pilgrimbr pride , . . john reached lazily over and shut off the radio, then jerked up in amazement as a vaguely familiar looking man stand- ing in the doorway queried, Did some- one mention my name? Who are you and what are you doing here? john counter-questioned. I'm only a poor pilgrim, the man, in a costume which confirmed his words, asserted. I've been out of touch with the world for years but because of my high standing, due to my establishment of Thanksgiving Day, I obtained per- mission to come back and see how things in the colonies were coming along. The only trouble is--I can't find America. John continued staring but managed to force out, But this is America. My dear little boy, I'm afraid thou art mistaken, Mr. Pilgrim said gently but firmly. I saw a flag on my way here which definitely was not English. Of course it wasn't English. The 'stars and stripes' have been the Ameri- can flag ever since we won our inde- pendence. Surely you heard about that, john inquired not too hopefully. What! The little American colonies independent? Well, I never would have believed it. Tell me, who is the Ameri- can king? John looked at him a moment scorn- fully and then replied, America doesn't have a king. It's a democracy-a gov- -PAT CA ARS NSEN '45 ernment of the people, by the people and for the people. Oh, come now, the Mayflower gent admonished, there must be somebody who makes the laws and oppresses the masses. Congress makes the laws, johnny said. But it can't infringe on the peo- ple's privileges. The Bill of Rights won't let it. The Pilgrim cocked his tall black hat over one eye in a gesture of disbelief and inquired skeptically, The Bill of Rights -what's that? The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to our Constitution, Johnny informed him, and they absolutely guarantee our liberties, freedom of re- ligion and . . I pray thee, do go slower. Remem- ber, I'm not as young as I once was. Did I understand thee to say that the Anglicans, the Puritans, and the Separ- atists are all getting along amicably to- gether? In America no one can tell you what to believe, john answered, surprised at his own vehemence. And besides that, you can say what you please, print what you please, and petition for what you please. What a wonderful country this is, the Pilgrim agreed, adding boastfully, and to think that I helped start all this. I must admit to thee, however, that when I signed the 'Mayflower Compact' all this never entered my mind. But wait. On my way down to earth I passed some soldiers going up, and they said there was a war gping on here. I nat- urally assumed that it was with the sav- ages, but I presume I was mistaken. I must hear all about it. Pray tell me, are there any soldiers quartered here? Quartered here? Why, of course 20 THE SCROLL
