Independence nay Thoughts by the
Declarations Author.

From the works OF Thomas Jefferson:
independence can be trusted nowhere
but with the people I'm mass. They are
inherently Independent OF nll but NOR
al law
The great principles OF right and
wrong are leglblo 10 every reader; TO
pursue them requires not the aid OF
many counselors.
Where the law OF the majority ceases
to DO acknowledged there government
ends; the iaw OF the strongest takes it's
place, and life ana property are his
who can take them.
Were it LEFT 20 me TO decide whether
we should have government without
newspapers or newspapers without n
government. I should not hesitate a
moment TO prefer tho latter.
If we are faithful 10 our country. IL
we ncqulesce with good Will In the de-
cisions OF the majority and the nation
moves In mass In the same direction,
although IL may not be that which
every Individual thinks best, we have
nothing TO fenr from any quarter.
Laws and institutions must 20 hand
I'm hand with the progress OF the hu.
man mind. AS that becomes more de.
velopcd, more enlightened, as new dis
coyeries are made. new truths disclos-
ed and manners and opinions change
with the change OF circumstances, In
stltutions must advance also and keep
pace with tho times.

Opposed 60 the theory that the SUI
fering OF nervous and sensitive persons
ought to be assauged by cutting or as
much noise as possible is the sneakina
consciousness OF good citizens that the
small boy was very shabblly treated
when the American colonies reyolted
from England This ls, indeed, one of
the most discredltable chapters in our
history. Had the patriots at PhiladeI-
phia hnstencd IN their work or had
they gone 20 the other extreme and
prolonged their deliberations until au-
tumn the American boy TO all genera
tions would have been provided with
a real hollday-that is, a day Ia term
time when school does not keep and
there is something interesting TO do
outside.
Instead OF that Jefferson and the
others put out their notable document
at season when the schools are closed
anyhow. The boys thus defrauded arc
