ments were not important. The reasons as
signed by Mr. Adams for the selection of Mr.
jefferson as the writer of the Declaration
are so numerous that It Is difficult to deter
mine which of them he intended should be re-
garded as the principal or decisive one. In
the autobiography he states that there were
more reasons than one why Mr.. Jefferson was
appointed on a committee Of such Importance.
He assigns two reasons: one, Mr.. Jefferson 8
reputation as writer, and the other the de-
sire of his Virginia colleagues to have Mr..
Jefferson supplant Mr.. Richard Henry Lee.
In a letter to Mr.. Pickering Mr.. Adams gives
as the reason why Mr.. Jefferson was placed
at the head of the committee that 1t was ''the
Frankfort advice to place Virginia at the head
of everything" but he also adds that Mr. JEFF
ferson brought with him to congress "a repu-
tation for literature, science and happy tai
ent of composition" and that this reputation
had been sustained by writings remarkable
for their peculiar felicity of expression" As
in the case of Washington, therefore 1t would
seem that there were reasons of eminent fit-
ness and qualification for the duty assigned;
and certainly the Declaration of Independence
itself fully Justihes the selection. Few state
papers have ever been written with more
SKILL or greater adaptation to the purposes In
view. Whether its sentiments were purely
original with Its author, or were gathered from
the political philosophy which had become
familiar to the American mind, through the
great discussions Of the time, 1t must forever
remain an imperishable monument of his
power of expression and his ability to touch
the passions, well as to address the reason
of mankind.
With regard to the passage concerning
slavery, which was stricken out of Jefferson's
draft we may we'll conceive that both north.
ern and southern men might have felt the In
justice Of the terrible denunciation with which
he charged upon the king all the horrors.
crimes and consequences of the African slave
trade, and In which he accused him of excl
ting the slaves to instruction, and ito pur-
chase the liberty of which he had deprived
them by numbering the people upon whom he
had obtruded them" Mr.. Jefferson In draw.
ing up the list of our national accusations
against the king, obviously intended to refer
to him as the representative Of the public pol
icy and acts of the mother country; and It Ia
true that the imperial government was and
must always remain, responsible for the ex.
istence Of slavery in the colonies. But this
was not one Of the grievances to be redressed
by the Revolution, 1t did not constitute one
of the reasons for aiming at independence, and
there was not sufficient ground for the accu.

possible care dates from a period somewhat
prior to the Worlds Columbian exposition in
Chicago in 1893 1t was proposed to transfer
the Declaration to Chicago for exhibition and
a steel safe or packing case" as 1t was then
termed, was specially constructed to serve as
a repository for the document en- route and
during the period of the fair. While these
preparations were in progress the officials Of
the state department turned the matter over
in their minds and eventually came to the
conclusion that it was risky business to have
the nations most honored relic carted about
the country, even IL the moving was done
with all possible care. The president took
this view of the matter also and so 1t was
decided not to allow the Declaration to be
transferred to Chicago. ST.
About this time John Hay. who was then
acting as secretary Of state, asked the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences to carefully inves-
tigate the condition of the document and to
make suggestions as to ways and means for
its preservation. Accordingly President Agas-
siz of the National Academy appointed spe-
cial committee, consisting of John S. Billings,
Ira Remsen and Charles F. Chandler, to con-
fer with Secretary Hay the subject. Even
tually this special committee was given an
opportunity to make a careful examination
of the precious instrument with the assist
ance Of Mr.. A. H. Allen. then serving as the
chief of the bureau of rolls and library of the
state department and also with the aid of DR..
Wilbur M. Gray of the Army Medical museum.
1t was found that the document had suf-
fered very seriously from the very harsh
treatment to which it was exposed during the
earlier years of the republic. Folding and
rolling have creased and broken the parch-
ment. The wet press-copying operation to
which it was subjected about 1920 for the pur-
pose of producing fac-simile copy, removed
a large portion of the ink. Subsequent ex
posture to the action of light for more than 80
years while the instrument was placed on ex-
hibition has resulted in the fading Of the ink
particularly in the signatures. The commit
tee was pleased however, to find that no evil
dence of mold or other disintegrating agents
could be discovered upon the parchment by
careful microscopic examination. They also
reported against the proposition which had
been advanced to apply chemicals with view
to restoring the original color of the ink. 1t
was the opinion of the experts that such APP
plication could be but partially successful, in
asmuch as considerable portion of the orig
inal ink was removed In making the copy of
1920 and also because such application might
result in serious discoloration of the parch-
ment
Finally the committee reported adversely
upon the suggestion that any solution, such as

Whatever may be the feminine

unprecedented commotion In the

''If we are DISTINGUISHED to the ex.

from club women, suffragettes. pretty
