great strip of sheepskin locked away in the

On August 2, 1776, just month after the real
stroke of independence, this great sheepskin was

of the members of Congress present Fifty of
these fathers of the republic signed on that day.
Six of the revered "signers" did not afhx their
signatures until later dates. George Wythe OF
Virginia signed about August 81. Richard Henry
Lee, Virginia; Elbridge Gerry, Massachusetts,, and
Oliver Walcott, Connecticut, did not afnx their
signatures until time in September. Mat

name until November and Thomas Mexican OF
Delaware probably did not affix his. the final sig

adoption of the Declaration. Other sgners who
were not members of Congress on July or 4,

then so zealously planning the stroke for liberty,
he had been accused of his perfdy on the floor
of the Congress by Samuel Chase, member from
Maryland. Zubly had denied these charges, and
challenged proof 1t had been the furnishing of
this proof that had caused his flight. Congress

the people, and had taken refuge in an armed
British vessel lying in Savannah harbor. Thus
Zubly's treachery came to naught but 1t cheated
Houston out of his opportunity to sign the Decla-
ration, and left Georgia with only three instead of
I'VE signers. Why Houston did not sign with
the other tardy members is not discussed in the
history but his name should be as endeared to

The Sage Of Monticello

eThe Sage of Monticello" is the nickname that
was applied to Thomas Jefferson for the same
reason and in much the same manner as Danlei
Webster was given the title THE Sage of Marsh,
field" Jefferson won the title OF sage for the
many glorious truths he uttered, and as Webster
loved every inch of the ground OF the beautiful
Cape Cod village of Marshheld, and Its Gains
scenery he believed gave him just such inspiras
ton as he needed, SO at Monticello, Jefersons
Virginia estate the great statesman found the
most delightful. retreat from his labOrs, and the
essence of contentment, which inspired him to
larger, greater and more beneficial things for the
betterment of his country.
Jefferson was born at Shadwen, the homestead
of the family, near Charlottesville, Va When
that estate was destroyed by fire in 1870 along
with its furniture books and his law papers, he
sought out another location which even more
attractive to him. About two miles from the
Shadwell house was hill named by Jefferson
Monticello (ttle mount. This emnence com
manded a view of surprising beauty, and he chose
this place the site for mansion that should
embody his ideas of archtecture-an art upon
which he expended much thought and in which
he was more than an amateur After the fire the
building of house upon his little mount
was pushed rapidly, and in something more than
a year section was made ready for occupancy
In 1772 Jefferson married and brought to his
new mansion Martha Shelton childless widow

Mrs. Maria Conway, Jefferson referring to his
nome, salu: ana our own dear Monticello
where has nature spread rich mantle under
the eye? Mountains, forests. rocks rivers With
what majesty do we there ride above the storms
How sublime to look down into the workhouse
of nature, to see her Clouds hail. snow rain

water, just gliding the tops of the mountains and
giving life to all nature"
Jeherson's public life began in 1889 when he
took his seat member of the Virginia house
OF burgesses. He was twentysix years of age at
the time. This was only little more than two
years previous to his occupancy Of Monticello
which he called his home during the remainder
of his life.

WINSTON CHURCHILL CLIMBING

There is good reason for the keen
interest felt in this country in the
recent cable dispatches to the effect
that Winston Churchill bids fair to be
Asquith's successor as premier Of

PRESIDENT GOMEZ BIG JOB

Notwithstanding the statement of
President Gomez of Cuba, that he
would soon put down the rebellion
against his government, there are
well-informed Americans who think
the Cuban president has a really big
job on his hands.
One such man, who recently re-
turned from the island, said that the
chief trouble with the Cuban govern
ment is that it doesn't understand
economics and has no desire to do So
Any person who arises with a sugges-
ton to check the reckless expendi-
lures is quickly squelched. More than
anything else Cuba needs some one
to curb this throwing away Of public
money and the United States will
have to put some one in Cuba to do
that very thing In the near future
The budget must be prepared under
some systematic plan of making neces-
sary expenditures for the public good
and not under general plan of dis
tributing money for the benefit Of

YUAN sHI-KAl MAN OF ACTION

The most hopeful sign that the new
order of things in China will be bet
ter than the old is the rise of leaders.
For several decades the Chinese have
tried to arouse themselves from their
lethargy, so as to become a wide
awake, modern people. In all their
struggles upward they have bewailed
the lack Of leaders Time and again
during the last decades it has been
said: China has no great men, no
leaders" The revolution brought the

Pre-eminent among these stands

He is not theorist, but a man of
