CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
BY w. 4. MACY.
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
BORN IN 17G1. NOT 1916.


American independence was not
born in 1916, as is commonly be-
lieved. 1t came to manhood then,
but it was born fifteen years be.
fore. Not satisfied with the or
dinary process of law in dealing
with the colOnists. the English
government resorted TO "writs Of
assistance" which gave officers
the right to enter and ransack
any mans house. The writs We're
attacked in the courts, and James
Otis, advocate general for the
Crown, was called upon to defend
them. Rather than do so he re-
signed his lucrative position, and
took the other side without pay.
When the case came to trial, in
February, 1861. the lawyer for
the Crown opened with an elab-
crate plea for the writs. He was
followed by Otis fellow counsel,
who made strong argument
against them, but in moderate
terms. Then came Otis, with a
most wonderful speech. He went
beyond the particular legal ques-
ton at issue. and took up the
whole matter of the constitu-
tional relations between the col
onies and the mother country.
At the bottom lay the ultimate
question whether Americans
were bound to obey laws they had
no part in making. Otis met the
question bravely, and answered
II fatty in the negative. For five
hours he held his hearers as in
a trance. pouring forth a torrent
of eloquence that overwhelmed
the opposition like an avalanche.
"otis," said John Adams. was
a fame Of fire. He hurried all
before him. Every man of an
imense crowded audience ap-
peared to me to go away as I did.
ready to take UP arms against
writs Of assistance. Then and
there" he adds. "the child Inde-
pendence was born. In fifteen
years he grew to manhood and
declared himself Free"

Sunday in Washington.

We will leave It to any impartial
Judge to decide whether or not WASH
ington warrants the wholesale condem-
nation hurled against it by the Pres
byterian General Assembly concerning
the observance OF Sunday There is
no city in the country OF the size OF
Washington where the Sabbath is OBJ
served in more orderly or quiet fashion.
Theaters and saloons are not III full
blast On the contrary, the liquor law
is vigorously enforced. Nearly all the
retail stores in the city are closed on
Sunday. and the great majority of the
people attend divine service.
Some Of the accusations are true.
Building operations and street repairs
have been prosecuted on Sunday, but
they have been in opposition to the
best sentiment of the community. News
papers are published morning and after
noon. as charged, but whether this is
a crime depends upon the point OF view.
The newsbOys. however, are compelled
under the police regulations to sell the
papers quietly and without any outCry
whatever The moving picture shows
are open. but the thrungS which find
pleasure and recreation in attending them
indicate that they meet a popular de-
Eand, II is also true that there is some
social diversion on Sunday. In capital
where the population is thoroughly cos
mopoiitan and where the diplomatic
corps i prominent, it is but natural
that Sunday functions should occur with
more or less frequency Last OF all,
people play golf in Washington on Sum-
day.
But when all has been said and done.
the fact still remains that Sunday in
Washington Is not day Of wholesale
dcsecratiOn. as the report to the Pres
byterian assembly would have the coun-
try believe. II il i wrong to indulge
in recreation on SUNDAY. no matter how
llllOANlIl u IidI lllIGSS llIt pltdSuTc NAV
be, then some peopic-in fact many
people-gricvously sin in Washington.
There are some really good citizens of
Washington who ride in the street cars
and in automobiles on Sunday. Others
also so fishing Still others fritter
away their time in visiting the Zoo.
In fact, we could mention a hundred
things which are in violation Of the old
blue laws, which it is sought to re-
enact and which the report did not men,
ton.
Seriously, however, Washington has
no apologies TO make for the manner
in which Sunday is observed here. The
laws are enforced, the people do not
spend the day in dissipation, the churches
are well filled, and the day is literally
one OF quiet. If all the cities could
show as clean a record, the United
States would be model nation.

TURKEYS GAINING IN FAVOR
Industry Has Increased In Many Ways
on Account of Efforts Of Pro-
ducers for One Breed.

The growing of turkeys seems to
have markedly improved within the
last few years as result of deter
mined effort on the part OF producers
of what is termed standard bred. or
exhibition, stock to demonstrate that
It is more profitable to use pure bred
breeding stock than the smaller and
less vigorous stock of days gone by.
Their efforts to introduce throughout
the country the several standard va
rieties of turkeys has greatly bene-
fitted the turkey-growing industry Of
this country. This has supplied rich.
new. vigorous blood throughout the
country, adding strength and vigor to
innumerable flocks, and thereby. to
some extent, building up the stock
that had become deteriorated through
the carelessness and inattention of
the producers themselves.
The fact that one formulation is
sufficient to render fertile all the eggs
of one laying has made possible the
undermining of the health and vigor
Of the present-day domestic turkey.
Being advised of this, hundreds OF
people depend upon their neighbors'
focks for the services of a male, and
pay no attention to the breeding stock
except to keep one or two turkey
hens. This has reduced many OF the
turkeys throughout the country al

While the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis compared with other dis
