most rudimentary wireless receivers can
hear talk 100 miles. Pocket-talklng ap-

Within half an hour after Caesar Rod

at breakneck speed toward Philadelphia,
remaining in the saddle all night, but
reaching Congress next day in time to
put his state on record as favoring the
Declaration of Independence. A split in
the vote of Pennsylvania delegation
was a Encouragement to the strong ad-
vocates of the new document.
Although John Morton of that state was
only the third to cast an asserting vote

that day to favor the document.

started the Fourth Of July. 1t was this

declaration of independence in Congress
declaring the American people free.
Good Judgment dictated the caution Of
emitting John Adams name from the
minutes. as the second to that motion,
yet the fact is known today, when there
is no army of redcoats waiting to seize
patriots as rebels.
Too much praise cannot be given to
the introduction of Lees resolution, yet
1t was to the credit Of the Continental
Congress that action was not forced
upon such an important measure at that
time. 1t could not have succeeded until
all objections had been silenced, all fears

Mr.. Finley, being next introduced,
seemed glad of another opportunity,
after two years absence, to tell of his
stewardship. He as well as his oppo-

inspection. He told Of his successful
work in congress in connection with
the rural delivery system and in pro-
noting efficiency along many other
legislative lines affecting the welfare
of the common people, for whose in
terest and rights he works During
his speech Mr.. Finley paid the highest
possible tribute to Woodrow Wilson
and w. j. Bryan. He pronounced
Wilson decidedly the best and great
est president since Thomas Jefferson.
He said the Democratic platform,
written by Mr.. Bryan and adopted at
the Baltimore convention, was the
greatest platform ever brought before
the American people and that he was
clearly conscientious and within line
of his conception of right when he
voted to sustain the clause in that
platform. relative to the canal tolls
affair, believing that adherence to the
platform was of greater consequence
and right than standing by the presi-
