Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1910-06-30

The Declaration of Rights was forerun-
ner of the Declaration of Independence. There
is nothing more essentially British than the
dictuln that there shall be no taxation without
representation. OF the early American states
men only Franklin and Otis wished to have
representation in the British parliament. The
others considered that their own assemblies
should be the legislative bodies entirely and
that IL any taxes were to be imposed they
should be collected only with the consent OF
the colonial assemblies.
The question of taxation, however. did not
enter into any controversies, for 1t was not
until the middle of the eighteenth century that
Great Britain, exhausted by many wars and
seeking to replenish the national treasury,
sought extraordinary means for raising reve-
nue. and her ministers proposed that the col
onies, which had been growing In wealth and
Importance, should be made to contribute to
the impoverished exchequer. The French and
Indian war had shown the power Of the col
onies and their force and had given a very
definite idea of their growing wealth and inn
portance.
Having reached the decision to tax the col
onies, the ministry did not spend any time In
preliminares. It was decided that parliament
had the right to levy the taxes and the fact
that the colonies had no representation In that
body was not taken into account. Such a mat

subject for delicate negotiation, but, the deci-
sion to tax having once been made, no time
was lost in levying It,
England had IN effect been a constitutional
monarchy since the signing of the Magma
Charta in 1915 and in taxing the colonies not
represented in the common council OF the
kingdom she had violated one of the oldest of
the rights which every Briton claims.
Such was the situation in 1894, when the
struggle began which IL years later brought
forth the Declaration of independence, and the
next year brought into being the first congress
of the American colonies, which decided that
the assembly had the power to fix taxes. The
stamp act was the first heavy impost levied

then rapidly becoming effaced, the king owned
all the land and distributed 1t among various
favored vassals.
The sovereign in the same way regarded
the new world as If it had been won by the
sword. The most extravagant IDEAS prevailed
with regard to the wealth of the American
lands. 1t was at one time soberly believed
in England that gold and silver and precious
stones could be had for the taking and that
the natives were the possessors Of fabulous
wealth. The king gave the charters in most
cases with the idea that he would profit great
ly from mines which would yield enormous
returns to the royal exchequer.
When the colonists came here they found
It necessary to make good their titles either
by peaceful bargains with the Indians or by
force of arms. From the very first the spirit
of independence was fostered, for fefs which
had to be maintained by constant vigilance
and negotiations and by show Of force did not
carry with them deep sense of obligation.
Indeed, even at that early day, although for
the throne the colonists entertained feelings
of loyalty and devotion, a shrewd idea was
abroad that the king did not really own the
land which he had bestowed by his charter.
The conquest Of nature and Of the savages be-
got rugged independence which as the years
went by became more and more dstasteful
TO the authorities in England.
Yet the Idea of separation from the crown
was of slow growth The forefathers main
tanned that they were British subjects, al
though not living within the realm, as indeed
was specified in some Of the royal charters
The Massachusetts charter, for instance, sets
forth that the colonists shall be considered
"as If they and every one of them were borr
within the realm of England" AS British sub
jects, then, they maintained that they SHOULD
be entitled to representation, and therefor
each colony had its assembly, which deter
mined upon all matters Of the common wea
and established rates of taxation. 1t was on
of the principles expressed in the Magma Chal
Ia that the common council of the kingdor

The news Of the passage of this act reused
the colonists to fury. gallows was erected
in what is now City Hall park, New YORK ana
the British governor was hanged in efhgy, and
the house Of Major Jones, in command OF the
British regiment, was sacked. Then came the

of the liberty poles. Boston and Philadelphia

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 as British sub
jects and that congress which met In Carpen-
ters hall in 1774 was still loyal to the crown.
1t petitioned the king, demonstrated with par
lament and appealed to their brethren in Eng

congress of ITS made provisions for an army,
with Washington as commander, and still Pc

cenaries were hired from petty German
princes to-quoting the words of LOSING

Richard Henry Lee of Virginia offered the
independence resolution in June, ITS, 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 g.
It was laid on the table until July 1. when nine
colonies voted in favor of 1t. ...#
The independence resolution was actually
adopted on July 2 and promulgated to the
world on July d. when John Hancock of Massa-
chusetts affixed to 1t his bold signature
The other members of the congress did not
sign 1t until August 2, and the impressive
scene connected with the signing was not wit
messed until nearly a month later, although 1t
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 lfe 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

DEVIL CHILD IS
 DEVIL OF A JOKE
So Believed Bunch of Young Men Who J0Urneyed to Aitheimer to
 See It, Yesterday.

The Arkansawyer received the fol- lowing communication, this morning, relative to the Devil Child at Althei- mer:
 "A large number of people visited Altheimer Sunday, to see the Devil Child. It is quite a curiosity, has on- l ly one horn. which grew out of the center of it's forehead, and a tail like
 a monkey. The parents of the child 1 feel very proud of it. They have had
 several offers from show people to
 buy, but so far have refused to sell,
 and are now charging ten cents ad- mission, which they think wills pay
 just as we'll as there are hundreds of l people viewing it daily.''
 There are several young fellows,
 though, in Stuttgart who will swear
 that the fellow who wrote the above
 is entitled to not only leather medal
 but a whole harness shop as an evil
 dence of his art at pervarication. They
 have been to Altheimer themselves, and know whreof they speak. Yesterday a small crowd of young men got the notion in their heads to see the much talked about 'iDevil Child and went to Altheimer on Mo-. 1. The citizens of that little burg have also heard of the Devil Child but not in their midst. It is thought that it might be at England or Pine Bluff, but both of those towns having denied the allegation, Altheimer must
 either possess the Devil Child or we will have to believe that there is nothing to it.
 We suspicion that the young fel- , lows who took the trip to Altheimer, yesterday are firmly of that opinion.
 The Pine Bluff Graphic, in describ- 1 ing the Devil Child says that when strangers visit it's parents the imp disappears in the bed springs-sup- posedlv for drink.-Stuttgart Arkan- sawyer.

DEATH OF GEN. CANDY.

A sincere grief will come to the hearts
of every member of the Twentieth
Corps at the news of the death of Brig
Gen. Charles Candy, which occurred
| Oct % at his home at Dayton, o. Gen.
Candy had most unusual career. He
was born in Kentucky 7S years ago,
and was one of the comparatively small
number Of Americans in the old Regu-
lar Army. He enlisted May IA, 1850, in
| the 1st L. s. Dragons for i've years,
served out his term and then re-enlisted
in the 1st U. s. Inf, being discharged
in 1881. The Ohio volunteers were bad
| ly in need of drill masters, and Serg't
Candy's services were in great request
He was Immediately appointed a Cap
tain anu Assistant Adjutant- General,
and after doing a great deal of work in
getting the volunteers into shape he
was given the Colonelcy of the seth
Ohio. his commission dating from Dec.
IT, 1861. He made splendid regiment
out of the excellent material he found
in that regiment, and commanded it
with great skill and gallantry thru its
campaigns in the Shenandoah Valley,
particularly distinguishing himself and
his regiment by the stubborn fight he
made at Port Republic against over
whelming numbers. At Cedar Noun
tain he took command of the brigade
after Gen. Geary had been carried from
the field badly wounded On the At
lanta campaign he commanded bri-
gade consisting of the 5th, 7th 29th
and 66th Ohio and the 2Sth and 147th

it in a way to win the highest COM
mendation from his superiors His
lighting on the notable goth of July,
1864, where the Twentieth Corps drove
back the whole of Hoods army, was
particularly commendable. Gen. Candy
