independent states and their political
connection with Great Britain is and
ought to be dissolved"
There had been murmurings and
threats and calm expressions Of de-
termination. But here was united ac-
ton. The people, by their representa-
tives duly chosen, formally absolved
themselves from allegiance from the
mother country and said to the world
that they had cast off their swaddling
clothes, and were now able to walk
alone. To speak with absolute truth,
all the delegates did not favor this
progressive step. Some opposed 1t on
the ground that 1t was premature.
Nevertheless the resolution over
came opposition and was Endorsed as
stated, by the majority Of one. Thlr-
teen colonies were represented. Be-
cause seven OF them voted and stood
for independence, the United States is
today what she Is. Subsequent devel-
opments prove that had the action TAX

pendence might have slept in peace un-

young craft on her course.
Jefferson had spoken but little In
congress and he had no part in the
aerimonies which then prevailed. In
O plain brick house, corner OF Market
and Seventh streets, Philadelphia, he
drafted the declaration of independ-
ence. The work was almost wholly
Jefferson's, only few verbal altera-
lions being suggested by Adams and
Franklin. It then was approved by
the committee. A few passages were
struck out by congress
Caesar Rodney, one Of Delawares
delegates, in order to have his vote
recorded, rode in the saddle from a
point eighty miles from Philadelphia,
all night, and reached the floor Just In
time on July to cast Delaware's vote
In favor Of independence. On that day,
ever memorable in American annals,

not an instant might be lost in trans
derring the glad tidings by means OF
the bell to the waiting multitude. AS
the wearisome hours passed and no
sign came to him the aged bell ringer
finally exclaimed They will never do
1t! They will never do it," Just then
he heard his boy clapping his hands
and vociferating at the top of his jul
venile lungs Ring! Ring" The old
hands swayed the sonorous bell with
delirious vigor Its reverberatlons was
echoed by every steeple in the city.
That was a gala day In Philadelphia,

quarters to announce the news. Wash

army. BY his orders 1t was read to the
soldiers, who acclaimed 1t enthusas-

tore the statue Of George III. from It's
pedestal in Bowling Green and 1t waa
melted into $4,000 bullets for the pa

gates thought 1t wise to defer the ques-
ton Of final consideration to July J.,
1776, by which time they believed there
might be more united feeling among
the people.
Thus 1t was that on June II, that
famous committee was appointed to
frame the declaration of independence.
Note the names, and II you are stu
dent of the history Of the United States,
conceive, II you can, Of better quin-
tet to have represented the American
people: Benjamin Franklin, John
Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sher-
man, Robert r, Livingston. The first
was the man whose fame Is licked into
our ears every time We hear telegraph

broad light whenever we enjoy the IL
Elimination of electricity. The second
rose to be president OF the nation he
helped to FORM The third is the IA
Their of what the world knows as Jeifer-
sonian democracy. The fourth, puri-
tan, patriot, leader, gave more in moral
force and determination, in knowledge
Of the law and Its common sense prin-
ciples than almost any man who as
sisted at the birth of the nation. The
fifth was the man of whom the major
ity of people know comparatively little,
and yet there was none who better de-
served a place Of honor in the public
mind. Eminent as flnancier,

A Hodgeman county man calls atten-
ton to the fact that not within the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant has
there been such heavy growth OF
grass and weeds on the prairies at this
time of the year; and, the more grass
and weeds, the hotter will be the prai-
RE fires which will be sure TO come
next fall and next spring. He urges
more and better fire guards, and calls
attention to Chapter 1870 of the revised
statutes of 1897, which provides that
any township may vote for u fire tax

pose. petition to the township trus-
tee, signed by one-third of the voters

election to take such action. Many
townships have complied with this
law, but it is something to which it
would be well for all the residents OF
the western portion of the state to
give attention. 1t Is terrible hard

cessfully, fire should not be allowed to
break in and set Mt naught the labors

prevent it. No one would begrudge
the money spent for this purpose, for
fire guards beat tears after u big fire
loss.
1t has always been customary t.
speak of pulling the tuil feathers
out of the American eagle on Fourth

old bird will do mighty well If he gets
over the Fourth with any feathers at
all left.
