possible care dates from a period somewhat
prior to the Worlds Columbian exposition in
Chicago in 1898. 1t was proposed to transfer
the Declaration to Chicago for exhibition and
a steel safe or packing case" as it was then
termed, was specially constructed to
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 if the moving was done
with all possible care. The president took
this view of the matter also and so it was
decided not to allow the Declaration to be
transferred to Chicago
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 on the subject. Even
tually this special committee 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
state department and also with the aid of DR..
Wilbur M. Gray. of the Army Medical museum.
1t was found that the document had sui
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 a fac-simile copy, removed
a large portion of the ink. Subsequent ex-
posture to the action of light for more than 30
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 ap-
plication could be but partially successful, In
asmuch as a 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

,,or+s were not important. The reasons as.
signed by Mr. Adams for the selection Of Mr..
Jefferson as the writer of the Declaration
arc ca 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.. Jeherson's
reputation as a writer, and the other the de-
sire Of his Virginia colleagues to have Mr..
jefferson supplant Mr.. Richard Henry Lee.
In letter to Mr.. Pickering Mr.. Adams gives
as the reason why Mr.. Jefferson was placed
at the head of the committee that it 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, it would
seem that there were reasons of eminent fit
ness and qualification for the duty assigned;
and certainly the Declaration Of Independence
itself fully justifies the selection. Few state
papers have ever been written with more
skill, or greater adaptation to the purposes in
view Whether it's 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, it must forever
remain an imperishabe monument of his
power of expression and his ability to touch
the passions, as well as to address the reason
of mankind.
With regard to the passage concerning
slavery, which stricken out of Jefferson's
draft, we may well 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 "to pur.
chase the liberty Of which he had deprived
them by numbering the people upon whom be
had obtruded them" Mr.. Jefferson, in draw
ing up the list of our national accusations
against the king, obviously intended to refer
to him the representative of the public mol
icy and acts OF the mother country; and it is
true that the imperial government was. and
must always remain, responsible for the ex-
1stence OF slavery in the colonies. But this
was not one of the grievances to be redressed
by the Revolution, it did not constitute one
OF the reasons Tor aiming at independence, and
there was not sufficient ground for the accu-
sat1on that the government of Great Britain
mad knowingly sought to excite general insur-
rectlons among the slaves.

collodion, paraffin, etc., be applied with view
to strengthening the parchment or making 1t
moisture proof. But the committee did urge
that the document be kept in the dark and
as dry as possible, and never placed on exhl-
bition Accordingly, in 1894, it was hermet-
ically sealed in frame and placed in the steel
case above mentioned, together with the
original copy of the constitution of the United
States Then, in 1902, Secretary Hay issued
the order in accordance with which the huge
square steel box that holds the Declaration
was locked and sealed. 1t has been opened
once since that time in order that the off,
cials might ascertain the condition Of the doc
ument 1t appeared to be in exactly the same
state Of preservation as when placed in the
case half dozen years ago and indeed Mr..
John A. Tonner chief Of the division of rolls
and library of the state department, the pres
ent custodian of the Declaration, is of the opin-
ion that the deterioration at least the fading
of the Declaration has been almost completely
arrested.
The interior of the steel safe which COM
prises the final resting place of the Declare
ton contains four drawers In one OF these
reposes the Declaraton-kept perfectly fiat be-
tween two pieces of heavy plate glass. The
other four drawers are given over to the orig
inal copy Of the constitution, similarly protect
ed. The constitution it may be added, is in
excellent state Of preservation and really
ures to which it is subjected because of being
in company with the Declaration.
Presentday visitors to the state department,
although they may not the original Dec
laration of Independence, can inspect some
thing almost interesting namely, the orig
inal draft Of the Declaration in Jefferson's
handwriting, with a few interlineations made
by Franklin and Adams. This is displayed In
a steel cabinet that stands adjacent to the
safe containing the original Declaration. The
steel exhibition cabinet also holds one of the
fac-similes of the engrossed copy Of the Dec
laration-one of those reproductions made by
order of President Monroe in order to secure
200 copies for the sgners of the Declaration
and their heirs
In a glass case in this same treasure Louise
Of historic mementoes is the small, plain,
polished mahogany desk on which Jefferson
wrote the Declaration Of Independence. This
interesting relic came into possession Of the
government in 1880. The desk had been given
by Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Coolidge, Jr,
upon the occasion of the latter's marriage to
Jefferson's granddaughter, Miss Randolph On
the death of Mr.. Coolidge, whose wife had
died year or two previously, the desk became
the property of their four children and was by
them presented to the nation. 1t was the ex-
