Declaration of Indepe ndence.

In Philadelphia, in Chestnut street
stands the famous building now
known as independence Hall, which
used to be called the State House.
This edifice is one of the shrines of
American patriotism for it was in one
of its Iow-roofed, quaint old rooms
that the Declaration of independence
which made of the United States a
nation, was debated and decided.
The Declaration was signed on the
day of its adoption by every member
present who voted for it. John Han
cock, whose name headed all the 9TH
ers, said: eve must be unanimous;
there must be no pulling different
ways; we must all hang together.
Yes said Franklin, 1--WE must all
hang together, or we shall all hang
separately"
Everywhere the Declaration was
hailed with JOY. It was read to the
army amid exulting shouts. 1t gave
the inspiration of a great cause, and
sustained them in the dark days of
that long revolutionary struggle until
that which was declared in Independ-
ence Hall in 1875 was gloriously
achieved by Washington in 1783-the
liberty OF our land.

QUESTION OF REFORM

Written by Progressive Republican.
The question that stands pre-emi-
nent in the mind of every intellectual
man to-day is the question of re-
form and how it may be accomplish
ed
A disease may be prevented, but
not cured.
This desire for predatory wealty is
a disease of the people of the United
States, it can be prevented but not
cured
To check it we must start at the
root of the evil and not at the stem.
The reform that is being inaugu-
urated by the insurgent leaders is di-
rected against the stem and not at
the root of the evil. Consequently
it will not be permanent unless the
source of the evil is destroyed.
As long as people are ignorant they
will be suppressed.
You can pile up book after book
OF laws and if the people are ignor-
ant some demagogue will find a means
whereby they may be avoided.
Our reform in order to be perma-
nent must be started with the rising
generation.
In the common schools of this
country is where the first step of
reform must be taken in order to
crown it with success.
This country has followed a course
parallel to that of Egypt and Rome.
What their fates were we all know.
But what caused it? The same thing
thai has corrupted this country for

forward, and grow. You never saw
a town amount to anything where
business men and citizens wereal-
ways engaged in telling how dead it
Was-lifeless and that all the powers
that be could not start it moving,
building up and endowing it with new
life. This is enough to kill any town,
while the statements are not true.
Make the best of everything. Take
the progressive side Of every reason
able question. Advertise your town
and business in every possible way,
and your brightest hopes in regard
to it will be fully realized.
