then rapidly becoming effaced, the king owned
all the land and distributed it 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 he very first the spirit
of independence was fostered, for fiefs 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 ne had bestowed ny his charter
The conquest of nature and of the savages be-
got a rugged independence which as the years
went by became more and more distasteful
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 born
within the realm of England" AS British sub
jects then they maintained that they should
be entitled to representation, and therefore
each colony had it's assembly, which deter
mined upon all matters of the common veal
and established rates of taxation. 1t one
of the principles expressed in the Magma Char
ia that the common council of the kingdom
"was to assess an aid or to assess scutage."

So much has been taken here as matter
of course that it seems hard to realize that
land from which liberty 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
has 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. 1t is as natural for the
Briton to demand his rights as it is for him to
live. The War of the Revolution 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-
guinity and of race.
Although the original thirteen colonies
were so essentially English in thought and
feeling they had never actually been estab
lished by England as a 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
of dependence as is essential for the preserva-
tion of intimate colonial relations. The right
to coonize the North American continent had
been granted by charters from British king.

desire to keep the tariff board entirely

investigators or experts be appointed
by the board for political considera-

The president had thought that his
position in regard to the work of the
tariff board was thoroughly understood
but a recent application for appoint
ment in which the candidate urged him
self because of party labors in the past
called out an order from the president.
In a letter addressed to the hackers of
this political candidate President Taft
said:

KNIFE IN EVIDENCE.
Accused Denies That He Ever Owned
the Weapon.

Goderich. Ont, Oct. 27.-Edward Jar
dine arrested yesterday as the alleged
slayer of Elizabeth Anderson, whose
mutilated body was found in a vacant
house here September 90, and Thomas
Jardine, his brother, charged with be-
ing an accessory after the fact were
brought into court for arrangement
last night The cases were adjourned
until next week. The arrests followed
the report of the coroner's jury that
the evidence points strongly to Edward
Jardine as having committed the
crime
A large pocket knife discovered the
day after the crime in the vicinity of
the house where the girl was killed
figured prominently in the trial at the
inquest. Edward Jardine denied that
this knife had ever been in his posses
sion, though admitting that he had
owned one similar to it.
