A NEW DECLARATION
BY Edmund Vance Cooke.


The old Declaration which Jefferson wrote
In the resonant accents treasure and quote;
The old Declaration whose truth is as true
AS in seventy-six, when it's phrases were new.
Let us linger again it's message and read
10 see if actions accord with our creed.
Let us look and behold how in practice we play
With the rights of the lives of our fellows today.
Mired deep in cities are infamies where
The wborn stihed for lack of Gods air.
Where the feeble unfortunate, ground by the might
Of their fellows herded in squaor and night.
In the height of the light of this of our day
Is liberty his who has nothing to pay?
The law breaker, high in council of state,
Passes on to reward which is greater than great;
But the beggar who gasps out prayer for relief
without Of support et him herd with the thief
And happiness What shall we mock at him. too?
What happiness pray is that mans to pursue
Who is to the bone by monsters of greed,
Who suck out his marrow, who prey on his need!
Lot one gives his life for grave at the end
And another holds kingdoms mortal might spend.
Arise again. Jefferson! Take up your pen
And draft renewed Declaration agan
Men equal and free, born with rights which deny
King GGreed whom Monopoly raises on high.
By the deeds of this day! let the old belfry sing
A new Declaration against the new King!

that day the resolution received the
votes of all of New England, New

Michael. who has charge of that his
toric document and the priceless ar
chives which go with it.
The brief account given in the
preface of the adoption of the Decla-
ration of Independence shows that
congress passed the resolution on
July 2. That is really the date on
which a majority of the peoples rep
resentatives formally and legally ex-
pressed their intent.
According to the journal of that
congress, the original of which is on
file, nothing actually happened on
the Fourth of July.
On the 9th of July the vote, by
state. was made unanimous by the
addition of New York, which had
not before been authorized to take
this course. So this date might be
celebrated If it were desired to com
memorate the date of the complete
adoption of the resolution.
If it were desired to commemorate
the day when the declaration was
signed, August might be selected,
as on that day the members of con-
gress began to attach their sigma
lures to the formally drafted docu-
ment.
By an error in the journal a note
was made on the 18th of July to this
effect: ordered that the declara-
ton (passed on the fourth) be fair
ly engr0ssed on parchment, with the
title and style of ''The Unanimous
Declaration of the Thirteen United
States of America"
