by the mother country, which provided for the
stamping of various legal instruments and pa
pers and contracts of all kinds, as we'll as dice
and playing cards.
The news of the passage of this act reused
the coloni3ts to fury. A gallows was erected
In what is now City Hall park, New York, and
the British governor was hanged In efigy, and
the house of Major Jones, In command OF the
British regiment, was sacked. Then came the
rising of the 'Sons of Liberty" and the raising
Of the liberty poles. Boston and Philadelphia
were vortices of the storm So emphatic was
the protest that much of the act was repealed
and duties were established tea, which &C.
counted for the sudden rain of tea in Boston
harbor. Then came the burning words of Pat
rick Henry, "Give me liberty or give me
DEATH" before the Virginia in 1773. The year
later brought the PRONUNCIATION of the Dec
laration of Rights and Privileges in which 1t
was declared that every man had the right
to" life, liberty and property and that most
ancient right granted at Runnymede trial by
his peers of the vicinage"
Throughout all this time of storm and
strain the protests were made British sub
jects and that congress which met in Carpen-
ters hall in 1774 was still loyal to the crown.
It petitioned the king, demonstrated with par
lament and appealed to their brethren In Eng
land. Then came Lexington and Concord. The
congress of 1875 made provisions for an army,
with Washington as commander, and still pc
titioned. It's petition was refused and mer-
cenaries were hired from petty German
princes to-quoting the words of LOSING
butcher British subjects for asserting the
rights of British subjects
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia offered the
independence resolution in June, 1776, and
committee was appointed to draft the declara-
ton, consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Ad-
ans, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and
Robert Livingston. Jefferson wrote the docu-
ment and alterations were made principally
at the suggestion of Franklin and Adams. The
paper was submitted to congress on June %.
1t was laid on the table until July 1, when nine
colonies voted in favor of it.
The independence resolution was actually
adopted on July 2 and promulgated to the
world on July 4, when John Hancock of Massa-
chusetts ahlxed to it his bold signature.
The other members of the congress did not
sign it until August 2, and the impressive
scene connected with the signing was not wit
messed until nearly a month later, although it
is popularity associated with the Fourth of
July.
Centuries Of the progress Of the rights Of
man bear witness In the Declaration. That "all
men are created equal and are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness" was not new, for 1t was
recognized at Sinai. That governments derive
their just powers from the consent Of the gov

constitutional liberty. In these days of peace
and plenty the Fourth of July is given to "sa-
lutes of cannon and the ringing of bells and
to the feu de joie," with variations, as John
Adams predicted that it would be, yet the
observance Of the Fourth as an occasion for
recalling memories past and giving thanks for
the deeds Of the patriot forefathers is sporadic
rather than general in the United States. The
Declaration of Independence is not read from
the rOstrum, as it once was in every commu-
nifty and the orators to the links have gone.
So much has been taken here as a matter
of course that it seems hard to realize that
this anniversary is celebrated in the very Eng
land from which liberty was wrested and that
observances of it are officially ordered in
many lands beyond the seas. The Fourth Of
July has become international in scope, for it
mas changed the governments of nations
whose capitals are far from Independence hall.
So widespread have it's effects become as
studied in the light of the present day that
In order to get the true value of all that the
declaration signifies to the world in 1910 it is
necessary to go back to the very beginning
of American liberty.
Had not the ideas of government held by
the colonists been essentially British there
would probably never have been any Declare
ton of Independence. It is as natural for the
Briton to demand his rights as it is for him to
live. The War Of the Revolution was largely
due to the fact that the two thousand miles Of
water between London and the colonies caused
parliament to lose sight of the ties of consan-
guin1ty and of race
Although the original thirteen colonies
were so essentially English in thought and
feeling they had never actually been estab
Hshed by England as national enterprise
The only one which had ever received any
official aid whatever was Georgia, and that
was not sufficient to carry any such feeling

ton of intimate colonial relations The right
to colonize the North American continent had

WATER SUIT DECREE
 MAY BE AMENDED
Trial Begun in the Case of Anderson
 Versus Godfrey Et Al.

In the district court yesterday there was an absence of the usual hearing of motions set for law days. nearly every thing going over until Monday to give way for trials begun or set.
 The first matter of importance was the reopening in part of the case of Hurley vs. Abbott. ct als better known as the water suit for the establishing of pridritles. A considerable number of people whose lands had been placed in the third class or as indicated in white on the map, desired an oppor- tunity to show that they should be placed in the red, which is a better classification, showing a measure of cultivation. The reopening was to ad- init evidence as to whether there should be an amending of the decree.
 The rest of the day was devoted to the trial of John Anderson vs Peter Godfrey ct al, which was only fairly begun. The opening statements were made andi the taking of testimony for the plaintiff was begun. The suit is for the collection of a claim of $2,715 alleged to be due Anderson for crop of alfalfa seed. Anderson says the crop on about 19O acres was sold for that amount To the defenddntS. The latter admit the sale but say that ac- ccrding to the contract they were not to pay for the seed until they. disposed of it. which would be in January next Further. they claim that Anderson by his acts prevented them from carrying out their part of the contract. Also they present a counter claim for a thousand dollars for straw which they allege he took from their possession on his own land and which belonged to them, and another claim for about S550 the estimated value of an acreage of seed which they claim they bought but which on measurement was not there In other words they claim to have. bought about 200 acres of seed and found the patch short about forty acres.

WHY CAPE coDDERS DON'T CARE.
There's Money In the Cranberry Bogs, No Matter How
 Elections Go.

Tt doesn't make very much differ ence how the elections go to the thousands of people in the Cape Cod country just at this time. for they have all the work they can do. with good money for it. too" said r. A. Finucane of Boston at the Riggs. The cranberry season fur nishes employment for more work CTS than the owners of the cram berry 'bogs' can get. It is only by the introduction of machinery that the output of cranberries is as large as it is.
 Tt is only recently that cranber- ries have been picked by machinery. Many devices have been put on the market. but most of them have proved to be failures. I was down in the Cape Cod country a few days ag6 and watched the pickcrs hand ling the anew implements The ap- paratus has very much the appear anee of very large hair clipper It has teeth which project into the tangled vines. The cranberries are scraped off into a receptacle and the picker snips along until the pocket of his machine is filled.
 'The berries are then dumped into baskets and taken to another mach inc, which separates all the twigs and leaves from them. On one of the-- big cranberry 'bogs' which few years ago required at least one thousand men and women to work 1t during the season. about one hundred men are now filling the bill In spite of the fact that these pick ing machines are being introduced rapidly. there is no dearth of employ ment during the season. The crop is SO large that good pickers are al ways in demand
 You can see that this is true. when I tell you that the Cape Cod district alone furnished nearly third of a million barrels of cran- berries to the country last year. This part of Massachusetts is the best cranberry district in the world. There are some other fields, but their out put is not so large New Jersey has a cranberry district, and Wis conSin also.
 There is a lot of money in the cranberry business. A good cran- berry bog will sell for q price rang ing from s1OO to s1.0O0 an acre. That is pretty high in comparison with the value of farm lands, but the owners seem to be well sat isfied with their investments I know of ono or two instances where a man has made 75 per cent on his investment in one year. This, of course. is not the rule. but there is a lot of money in the business nevertheless Washington Post

A REAL THANKSGIVING DAY.

The very suggestion of giving thanks for anything to anybody is far from the thoughts of many people who have come to look upon the last Thursday in November as a day of inordinate eating and hilarious pleas ures. In the minds of many people, the methods of observing Thanksgiv- ing need reforming as much as do the Fourth of July celebrations. But the women of the new suffrage state of Washington. through Mrs. Emma Smith Devoe. president of the state equal suffrage league, have called on all women in the state to devoutly and solemnly return thanks on No Vember A.
