This would be fatal error of Judgment
which would speedily be made manifest by
dwindling membership.
Inc site for the new armory should be
In the center of the city, on the south side

and there are several blocks in that section
of town which would afford ample floor

Our regimental drills are held in the White

satisfied.
An Ornament to the City
"A building along the lines Of one of New
4ork's newer armories would be decided
ornament to Washington and would serve
very useful purpose. Our present quar-
tiers, especially the company rooms AMI
drlll nall, are SO admittedly. inadequate
that 1t Is not worth Will, to bring forth
any arguments to support the claim OF the
District for new home for it's guard. Many
cities half our size have better homes for
their guard than Congress provides for us.
In Pennsylvania the militia Is not fur
nished armories by the state, but the state
pays an annual allowance to each company
OF 800 for armory rent purposes. The most
expensive armories in a state where its
National Guard is at present playing an
important part In the coal strike are those
occupied by the LIST, I'd and Sd Regiments
in Philadelphia, the 18th Regiment in Scran-
ton and the 9th Regiment in Wilkesbarre
These armories, it is my understanding are
all owned by civil organizations and are
rented to the military organizations which
occupy them.
We follow the Pennsylvania plan of rent
Ing quarters, and as against the New York
plan of owning the buildings and land it
cannot be compared. The interest we pay
in rentals is very heavy and the combined
rentals in a few years would pay for an
expensive armory.
While Congress is proverbially slow in
voting money for public buildings in this
city, and seems to prefer the old fashioned
and more costly-in-the-end plan of renting
quarters, yet we all trust that the consum-
nation of our hopes will be realized in the
not too distant future, and that fine new
building, modern in its appointments. will
be provided for us. If it were made large
enough 1t could be made the place for hold

England and America.
From the London Spectator.


We must conclude by statement Of the
causes that we believe are drawing England
and America together. We do not think,
as Mr. Adams seems to think, that 1t is
chiefly due to English admiration for 1.-THE
wealthy, the successful. the masterful.'
Thoughtful Englishmen do not admire ces--
tain aspects of American life, and those
aspects are peculiarly the outcome OF
wealth. success and masterfulness. We be-
lieve that the approach is due to the fact
that the two nations, by the interchange Of
literature and art and by the frequent
intercourse of personalities. are realizing
that they have in truth common national
ideals that are shared by no other nation;
are realizing that by Joint effort those ideals
will be attained and that by contrary eff
forts they will be wrecked. 1t is a sufficient
explanation.
If proof is asked for, We think We can
prove our point. Who is the American best
known in England, most respected, most
loved? Unquestionably Abraham Lincoln.
Take any great popular gathering of Eng
lishmen and speak to them of Mr.. Lincoln,
and a response intelligent and sympathetic.
is certain But will Mr.. Adams tell us that
this typical American, who Is SO universally
respected in England, represents the
wealthy the successful, the masterful?'

misread the life and character OF Mr.. Lin

MECKLENBURG DECLARATION.
Dispute as to What North Carolina
Convention Did.

From the Baltimore American.
President Roosevelt, in his speech at
Asheville, N. c., referred to the "Mecklen-
burg Declaration This legend had some
vogue fifty years ago. 1t was claimed that
a declaration Of independence was issued
by provincial convention which met at
Mecklenburg thirteen months before the
Declaration of Independence was published
by the Continental Congress, and that it
was made the basis of that great document.
Inc claim was first put forward in 1919.
more than forty years after the North
Carolina convention was said to have met.
Jefferson, who was generally credited with
being the author of the Declaration, indis-
nantly denied that he had ever heard Of
the Mecklenburg document and denounced
it as fraud.
This was not accepted as conclusive. It
was pointed out that the greatest men
sometimes avail themselves of others
thoughts without acknowledgment, and
lawyer at the Baltimore bar, whose char
acter was above reproach, asserted that on
one occasion he followed, with book in
hand, one Of the most distinguished law
yers and statesmen in America. while he
repeated to a jury verbatim ct literatim
forty pages of one OF Erskine's speeches.
The controversy over this Mecklenburg
legend was very warm until the civil war
broke out, its supporters having their own
way, so far as there was any evidence, the
other side showing no disposition to make
an investgation-the only way, of course,
by which it could be disproved. After the
war Investigations were made by several
experts of the highest standing having
connection with each other. Their work
and their findings were given to the pub
lie, and unprecedented mind can reach
any other conclusion after reading the EVIL
dence submitted than that there never was
any "Mecklenburg Declaration"
The only facts in this legend, which 50
long imposed the public and cast a
shadow over the reputation Of Jeferson,
are that convention was held at Mecl<len-
r6SOlu-
tions, twenty in number, were passed. They
are not a declaration of independence, the
members of the convention having subse-
quently sworn allegiance to Great Britain.
They concerned the critical situation at
that time, and were similar to the resolu-
tons passed in a number of other prov
inces It would have been a strange thing
had the province of North Carolina re-
manned absolutely quiescent for thirteen
months after her independence had been
declared. Though some slurs have been
aimed at Mr. Jefferson on the strength OF
this alleged Mecklenburg declaration, it Is
doubtful if these critics ever read 1t. The
points of similarity are few and not speci-
ally striking. The real declaration Is one
of the finest specimens Of terse and vigOr-
Gus English extant. There are no breaks
in it-nothing to indicate that one more
parts were borrowed. 1t is perfectly SYM
metrical throughout and suggests the work
of a great thinker and writer.
