KING EDWARDS VISIT OVER.

Berlin, Feb. liking Edward and
Queen Alexandria left here for Lon
don at O'Clock this afternoon after
visit of four days in the German
capital. They were accompanied to
the railroad station by the Emperor
and Empress with their military suites
and Prince Henry of Prussia. The
leave-taking was affectionate, his mai
esty embracing the Emperor and kiss
ing him three times upon the cheek.
While newspapers continue to assert
little expectation of the positive re-
suits from the royal visit, they express
the belief that the coming Of King
Edward will promote good under
standing between the two countries.

WORKING HARD
FOR STATEHOOD
Enemies of the Territory Seeking to
Show Discord and Suspicion Among
Leading Statesmen.

Special to The New Mexican.
Washington, d. c., Feb. II, 1909
Governor Curry and the statehood
delegation are putting in hard work
for the statehood bill and they are as
sured that it will pass the House on
Monday under the special rule. Next
week the fight for the bill, taken up
by trained leaders, will wax hot.
Report comes from New York of a
vicious, fanatic and absurd attack
upon Governor Curry, the New Mex
leo legislature and the Republican
party leaders of the territory, to be
published by the New York World and
syndicated by it to various newspa-
pers. The attack is reported to be in
spired by one or two disgruntled New
Mexico would-be leaders who are
wreaking their spite upon Governor
Curry and the Republican leaders by
this means and by pouring into the
ears of senators unfriendly to New
Mexico, stories of alleged graft and
mismanagement of territorial affairs.
Chief Justice William ]. Mills came
down from New Haven, Conn, today
, to join the statehood workers. Judge
w. H. Pope is expected in a few days
to work for statehood. His close
friendship with President Taft will aid
greatly in the task.
Louis Garcia has been confirmed
by the senate as postmaster at
Springer, Colfax county; and Leonard
D. Redfeld at Benson, Arizona.

THE G7ZEZ SA|E- WWHCH The DECLARATION
or WDIPEWDkIY(E rs ERESERbED

we must all hang together or weIl all hang
separately" Harrison, who had a ready wit,
looking at his ample proportions, said: "If
they drop us off at ropes end some of you
lightweights will be kicking and suffering long
after I'm done for"
During the time of the adjournment the
committee which had been appointed to pre-
pare the declaration of independence chose
Jefferson, the youngest of their members, to
write the document, on the ground that he was
"the best penman" in the lot Now, the word
penman in those days was sometimes used to
denote man who expressed himself well on
paper, and not necessarily a man who wrote
good hand. The English of the declaration
perhaps shows that the word was used with
the former significance though some of Jeffer-
sons detractors have insisted that Tom Paine
wrote the famous document.
The Declaration of independence was read
paragraph by paragraph to the assembled
members. AS a matter Of fact, the most bril-
liant speakers were opposed to the resolution.
Among those opposed were Dickenson, Rob-
ert r. Livingston, James Wilson and Edward
Rutledge. 1t leaked out afterward that most
of these men made speeches opposing the sew
ering of the British bonds. OF three of those
who spoke in favor of independence it was
afterward said: Jefferson was no speaker;
George Wyeth was sensible, but not clear, and
Witherspoon was clear, but heavy"
1t has always been believed that Richard
Henry Lee said, in standing for the absolute
independence of his country: "Why still deb-
crate? Why, sir, do you longer delay? Let
this happy day give birth to an American re-
public. Let her arise, not to devastate and
conquer, but to re-establish the reign of peace
and law. The eyes of Europe fixed upon
us; she demands Of a living example of
freedom that may exhibit a contrast in the
felicity of the citizen to the ever-increasnS
tyranny which desoates her polluted shores
If we are not this day wanting in our duty &c
country the names of the American legisla-
tors of 1916 will be placed by posterity at the
side of Thcseus, of Lycurgus, of Romulls of
Numa of the three Williams of Nassau, and of
all those whose memories have been and for
ever will be dear to virtuous and good
citizens"
Just how Lees speech leaked out not
known, but it led to a somewhat remarkable
scene in the English school of st. Bees. Lee
had a son, a mere boy, a pupil in st. Bees
A member of board of visitors to the institu
tion asked the head master who the boy was
He is the son of Richard HeArY Lee of

friends of liberty feared the effect of his argu-

afterwards made public, and. while Dickinson
feared simply that the time had not yet come
for the declaring of the country's indepen-
dence and was in reality a patriot at heart
his memory has suffered for the stand he then
took
When Daniel Webster delivered his pane

he drew a verbal picture of that scene in the
continental congress when the Declaration OF
Independence under discussion. He knew
the thread of Dickenson's discourse as it had
been imputed to him, and though Webster
mentioned no name, his amplificatioG Of Dick
enson's words will probably stand forever
containing the essence of the opposition of the
colonial legislator to the taking of firm stand
for his country's freedom.
Dickensons speech, as it has come down,
runs in part as follows: Let us pause. This
step, once taken, cannot be retraced. This
resolution. once passed, will cut off all hope
of reconciliation. If success attend the arms
of England we shall then be no longer colo
MES, with charters and with privileges; these
be in the condition of other conquered people
at the mercy of the conquerors. For our
selves, we may be ready to run the hazard.
but are we ready to carry the country to that
length? Is success so probable as to justify us?
Where is the military, where the naval power,
by which we are to resist the whole strength
of the arms of England for she will exert that
strength to the utmost? Can we rely the
constancy and perseverance of the people, or
will they not act the people of other coun-
tries have acted, and, wearied with a long
war, submit In the end to worse oppression?
while we stand on our old ground and in
sist on redress of grievances know we are
right, and are not answerable for conse-
quences. Nothing, then, can be imputed to us.
But IL We now change our object, carry
pretensions farther and set up for absolute in
dependence, we shall lose the sympathy of
mankind We shall no longer be defending
what we possess, and which we have solemnly
and uniformly disclaimed all intention of pur-
suing from the very outset of the troubles.
Abandoing thus our old grounds of resistance
only to arbitrary acts of oppression, the ma
tions will believe the whole to have been mere
pretense. anu they will look on us not as in

body that King George would have him strung
up speedily should there be written evidence
that he had spoken against the supremacy of
the crown. When the Brunswick monarch
however, had been forced to relinquish his grip
on the united colonies, some of the delegates
told what they had said or what others had
said. These fragmentary speeches had never
before been gathered together, it is believed
Bits of them appear here and there in revou-
tionary-day stories. Others are to be found in
the correspondence of some of the fathers of
the republic, and two others have had their

one of the almost matchless orations of Web
ster.
1t is well-known fact that the declaring of
the colonies dependent was not thought of
seriously before the convening of the memor-
able congress of the spring of 1776. Washing
ton was bitterly opposed to any such declara-
Cion until it became military and civil neces-
sity. Patrick Henry perhaps the only out
spoken advocate of the year when the cutting
actually accomplished, though Benjamin
Franklin and Timothy Dwight thought, and
sometimes said, that the yoke should be re-
moved. Henry, by the way, in one of his
speeches, undoubtedly gave the keynote to
which Robert Emmet afterward attuned the
last sentence of his speech when condemned
to die. AS early 1873 Patrick Henry de-
clared that the colonies should strike for inde-
pendence, and prophesied that France would
not be backward in coming to their aid. The
last words of his speech were almost literally
a part of the concluding words of Robert
Emmet's speech: Then our country shall
take her place among the nations of the
earth"
The original declaration of independence
was local affair. Meckenberg county, North
Carolina, at public meeting held In the town
of Charlotte, in August, 1775, declared that
ait threw off forever all allegiance To she Brit
ish crown" 1t was not long after this that
North Carolina instructed its delegates to the
continental congress to vote first, last and
always" for the independence of the united
colonies 1t must be said that many historians
doubt the authenticity of the Mecklenberg
declaration.
The congress that was to declare America
free convened in Philadelphia and in general
way discussed the matter of throwing off the
yoke Richard Henry Lee of Virginia intro
douced this resolution: Moved That these
united colonies are and of right ought to be,
free and Independent states, and that all po-
1itical connection between us and Great Brit
ain is. and ought to be, dissolved"
John Adams of Massachusetts seconded the
motion, but the names of both mover and sec
onder were omitted from the record. because

Sick Kidneys Weaken The Whole
Body-Make You Weak, Ner-
VOuS and Irritable.

| Half the nervousness, half the irrita.
bility that is so common in every day
| life, is really sickness, and in most cases
condition that accompanies kidney
trouble. 1t is the work of the kidneys
to keep the blood free from uric acid
and other poisons, but when the kidneys
are sick, and not doing their duty, the
uric acid permeates the body, and
attacks body, brain and nerves. The
irritation causes nervousness, irrItabil-
ity, headaches, dizzy spells; makes you
languid, unfit for work, and inclined to
worry over trifles. Besides, there is
nothing more annoying than bad back
and backache is the most common sign
of kidney trouble. You feel lame and
tired in the morning, suffer day and
night with dull aching in the back and
it hurts to stoop or bend or lift. II Doan's g
Kidney Pills are taken in the beginning

exists in the kidneys. Continued treat

AGRICULTURAL SHORT COURSES.

a number Of state agricultural col
