Isefple jefferson,

It is curious fact that the action of
the Continental congress, proclaiming 8
the fundamental propositionsof the Dec
laration of Independence, was to somo
extent anticipated by local gatherings
in different parts of the country, In
1918 the town of Mendon, in Worcester
county, Mass, adopted resolutions Of
similar import, and the delegates for
Suffolk county, Mass, at u meeting held
at Milton in 1774, and the committee Of
Chester county, Pa, in 1915, and also
the county Of Cumberland, N. Y. (now
southern Vermont), passed resolutions
tending to the same result. The Men
don resolutions wcro as follows:
Resolved, That all I:pu have an equal right to
life, liberty and property: therefore,
Resolved, 1h;. Ill just and lawful government
must originate in The free consent Of the people,
Resolved, Thata right to liberty and property
(Which are natural means of self preservatioll) is
absolutely inalienable and can never lawfully Ln
given up by ourselves or taken away from us by
others
The much disputed declaration at Char
lotte, N. c., May % Tor 31), l71.5, is proved

1t Happens to he Celebrated on the 18th
oc July.
The Bastile was captured by the people
of Paris, July II, 1889; so that is "Inde-
pendence day" in France, and a merry
day they make of it. Tie stones of the
Bastile were consecrated to the service
Of the Pont de Ii, Concorde, one of the
most noted bridges of the Seine. The
site Of the Bastilc is now marked by the
lofty Column OF July, OH whose summit
stands the gilded figure Of Liberty, bear
ing torch in one hand and in the other
a broken chain.
1t is not strange that the French re-
public has selected the memorable day
of the taking of the Bastile for its ma
tional fete. By day Paris is alive with
the tremulous color Of floating flags.
By night the city is ablaze with light
The Seine CLEANS like a rainbow hue.l
ribbon with the reflections from the
bridges, tho little boats leaving trails Of
light behind them, and yellow lanterns
that hang like great golden oranges from
the trees on its banks. The palace and
gardens of the Trocadero rise out of the
darkness like a scene of enchantment

A FRENCH s7ATEsMAN's TRIBUTE.

What the Americans Did That the French
Neglected.
It is not merely to the absence OF any
powerful rival, or to the boundless
space open to their population, that the
United States of America have owed
their singular success. The rapidity and
the serenity of their rise to greatness are
not the results of such fortunate acci-
dents alone, but are to be attributed in
great degree to moral causes They rose
into existence as a state under the ban
:ner of right and justice, and their revo-
tuition began as an act Of defense. They
claimed guarantees and asserted liberties
which were inscribed in their charters,
and which the English parliament itself,
though it now refused them to its sub
jects, had formerly triumphantly af-
frmed and asserted In the mother coun-
try with far greater violence and dis
order than were occasioned by American
resistance. Strictly speaking, the Amerl-
cans did not attempt q revolution. Each
of the colonies already enjoyed free

CHANGES IN THE FLAG.
TWO BITS OF LAW ON AN INTER-
ESTING SUBJECT.

1n1rteen Flags at the Start-Number Grad
aally Reduced BY 1918 There Were
TOO Many States to Have a Stripe for
Each.
At the beginning all was chaos in the
nag business of the Revolution. Each
colony used its own flag till the regular
armies were formed; then special army
hags were used. and by and by sort Of
uniformity became apparent. Finally,
after much discussion, the continental
congress on the 14th of June, 1777, passed
this resolution:
Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white
mat the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue
nelo, representing new constellation
This was confirmed by the first con-
gress under the constitution, but the adj
mission into the Union, after the estab-
hshment Of the present government, of
Vermont and Kentucky as new states
caused the number Of stars and stripes
to be increased to fifteen each, and the
subsequent addition of five other states
led to the following enactment. which is
yet in force. approved on the 4th of
April, 1918:
An act to establish the flag of the United States
be 1t enacted by the senate and house of repre-.
sentatives of the United States of America in con
gress assembled, That from and after the 9TH day
OF July next the flag Of the United States be thir
teen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white:
that the union be twenty stars, white in a blue
field
Sec. :. And be it further enacted, That on the
admission of every new state into tha Union ono
star be added to the union OF the flag; and that
such addition shall take effect on the 4th day Of
July then next succeeding such admission.
SO there really isn't much law on the
subject, and if you want to use flag
with only the original thirteen stars on it,
no ones patriotic feelings will be hurt.
And whenever an American sees this
glorious ensign of his country, the stripes
recall to his mind the birth of the repub-
lie, with the events that surrounded it;
the stars suggest its wonderful develop
ment in size, in resources and in power;
and, in homage to the national grandeur
and protective authority which it repre-
sents, wherever he beholds it-whether
i'll mid-ocean floating at the head of a
passing ship, or waved aloft in the streets
of foreign lands-lle lifts his hat to it
with a patriotic feeling of filial love and
pride.
