peril, is not necessary to the nations
expression of gratitude that it Is free
and independent This sentiment has
1t last crystalized into movement for
sane Fourth, and throughout the
country various cities have made ar
rangements by which 1t is hoped child
life will be better protected than 1t
has in preceding years.
1t was on the third of July, 1916,
that John Adams wrote to his wife,
Abigail, the letter, since often quoted
as a prophecy, concerning the future
celebration of this period as national
festival. Despite the fact that he was
one of the most important figures in
the stirring events of that historic
time, he wrote two letters to her on
that day. In one he said: Yesterday
the greatest question was decided
which was ever debated in America;
and a greater perhaps never was nor
will be decided among men. A reso
ution was passed. without one dissent
ing voice, that these united colonies
are and of right ought to be free and
independent states" In the other let
ter he wrote: The second day Of
July, 1776, will be the most memorable
epoch in the history of America. am
apt to believe that 1t will be celebrated
by succeeding generations as the
great anniversary festival. 1t ought
to be commemorated as the day of
deliverance by solemn acts of devotion
to God Almighty. 1t ought to be
solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shows. games. sports, bells. bon
fires and illumination from one end of
this continent to the other, from this
time forward forevermore."
The resolution for independence
was, as these letters show really
adopted July 2. But the formal De-
claration Of Independence was adopted
July 4, and copies of this declaration,
prepared by committee Of five head
ed by Thomas jefferson, were then
sent to the states. The resolution
adopted July was presented to con-
gress by Richard Henry Lee Of the
Virginia delegation, June Z, 1916. 1t
read: Resolved, That these United
be free and independent states; that
they are absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown; that all politi.
cal connection between them and the
State of Great Britain Is, and ought
to be, totally dissolved"
Prompt action in so serious a matter
vas not to be expected and congress
put It off until July 2. when the reso-
luton, much to the Joy of Adams, who
seconded Lees motion. was adopted
In the meanwhile Lee. the mover Of
the resolution. was called home by the
illness of his wife. Otherwise he
would probably have been made chair

This committee was composed of
Thomas Jefferson Benjamin Frank.
lin. John Adams, Roger Sherman and
Robert X. Livingston. 1t is usually
conceded that Jefferson wrote the Dec.
laration, which was reported and dis
cussed until July d, when 1t was
adopted. Copies were prepared and
sent to the states. Pennsylvania was
the first to receive its copy, and on
noon of July 8 1t was read TO crowd
of citizens in the statehouse yard. 1t
was read from wooden platform
erected in 1863 to enable David Rit.
tenhouse to observe transit of Ve-
nus.
Only the president Of the congress-,
John Hancock. and his secretary
signed the Declaration on the day of
its adoption. The final signatures of
the fifty-six who signed the original
document were not affixed until No

Three of the fifty-six signers lived
to see the fiftieth anniversary Of
American independence, They were
John Adams. Thomas Jefferson and
Charles Carroll. Adams and Jeffer
son died on the fiftieth anniversary,
July 1, 1926, leaving Charles Carroll
the sole surviving signer. Jefferson
and Adams had both served as pres
idents of the republic which they had
helped to form A third President,

Adams prediction. selected the fourth
instead of the second of July as the
day for celebration.
The corner stone of the Washington
monument at the national capital was
laid July 4. 1850. 1t was a very hot
day. President Taylor who was pres
ent, was exposed to the heat Of the
sun for three hours. On his return
