dent Stadtmueller, of the associa-
President F. HI. Johnston.

President F. HI. Johnston.
 The meeting opened at II o'clock this morning and the finale speaker of the forenoon session was Presi- dent F. H. Johnston. He delivered strong address from the view point of the business men, speaking in part as follows:
 Farmers sons who have an ambi-' tion to conduct farms on progressive lines ought to have the earnest SUD- port of their parents, not only be- cause of modern methods but be- cause they will be more likely to hold the interest of studious and energetic boys.
 Tn common with thousands of others I am strongly impressed with the belief that the subject of better farming in America is the most inn portapt. now occupying the attention of the commercial world. By better farming is meant a system that will produce larger results in the way of profits and an easier living for those who till the soil, as well as greater average production to the acre.
 VI appreciate the courtesy of your invitation to be present at this meet ing and thank you for this oppor- tunity of getting acquainted with you. am very glad to accept the oppor- tunity to bring before you in few words the work of the State associa- tion and the necessity of the CO., operation of the men interested in agriculture in order that our assoca- tion may accomplish definite good in this work. We advocate the closer study of our statewide problems and the bringing about of a higher standard of business ideas I want you to think of the State Business Mems association as a body of men working for the upbuilding of this commonwealth, earnestly studying the many local and the many broader perplexities brought about by the

radical changes in not only ways of doing business but in our population and in it's increasing desire to con- gregate in the cities, with the con- sequent lessening production in the necessities of life. As 8 body of men whose interests are causing them to cooperate because of these rapidly changing conditions and whose mem bership has changed from that of the retail merchant of fourteen years ago when the State association was first fcrmed, to it's present membership of nearly fourteen thousand men-em- bracing merchant, manufacturer, farmer professional men and last, but not least, many laboring men.
 ''The several Business Mems associa- tions in Norwich, New London and Willimantic have already taken up the county improvement movement in New London county and have aroused much enthusiasm and are doing good work. We have eleven Business Mems associations in Hartford county Hartford, New Britain, Manchester. Glastonbury, Plainville, Southington, Bloomfield, Winsocket, Enfield, Wind sor, West Hartford, all fine hustling associations. and we stand ready to assist you in every way possible-as every farmer is of necessity to a business man and needs our help as we in the business world need his. I hope you will seriously consider the problems of our great transports tion system at the present time and realize that every kind of business is largely dependent upon the trans portation facilities furnished to it and that our development is in direct proportion to the efficiency of our transportation service. Efficiency and time is the thing-the cost of the service is really much smaller con- sideration. If. the railroads give us efficient service they must receive reasonable remuneration-and 1t is vastly more important that the farmer and the business man get prompt and good service than it is to have cheap rates ana, ineff1clent service.

The Signing of the Declaration
of independence

that early period, lined up solidly TO
Big George Hanover, King of Eng
land.
In the interim before the final vot
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declare
ton of Independence. The ideas of i
were not Jefferson's; they were thu
things everybody in the land was
thinking and saying. But the beau
tiful and dignifed language of the
Declaration was due solely to the
Monticello statesman. The document
was laid before congress June 2S, and
at once the discussion began again.
All the country was talking about
the Declaration now, and the senti-
ment in favor of it's adoption was es-
pecially strong in New England
The morning of July /, just as con-
gress was preparing to vote on Rich
ard Henry Lees motion asserting the
independence of the colonies, the del
egation from New Jersey arrived,
with instructions to vote for independ-
ence "if they thought best" They
insisted on further debate that they
might inform themselves well before
voting, and the vote was not taken
until the next day, July 2, when Lees
motion was carried, every state ex-
cept New York voting for it. That
commonwealth voted against it.
Two days later, July 4, Mr.. Jeffer-
sons formal Declaration of Independ-
ence was voted on by congress and
after numerous small changes and a i
great many criticisms which piqued
The Virginian greatly, was adopted. |
But first clause condemning negro
slavery was condemned. About 40
of congress out of so voted
or the Declaration, including one
Henry Wisner of New York. But as
ar as the signing went, nobody sign

resident of the congress, and Charles
thompson, secretary.
The Declaration was ordered au-
henticated and drawn up on parch-
nent, and this copy, which exists
arefully guarded today, was signed
august 2. At the conclusion of the
evolution there were some persons

Tales of the Town

The nation that forgets its past
will never have much of future.
Without castles in the air there
would never have been any palaces
on the ground.
What we would put into the life of
the nation we must first put into the
mind of the child.
We are what we are today because
we did unto our neighbor what he
wanted to do unto us-and did 1t
first.
1t is we'll to remember that if the
umpire could see better from the
grandstand he would be stationed
there.
Germany is spending 20 million dol
lars annually on its aerial fleet. Which
is a reminder that money takes unto
itself wings.
Every boy should be taught that he
must sign his own declaration of in
dependence, and fight his own revo-
utionary war.

THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY AND
1916.

The significance of the latest stor,
of the object Of the Progressive part,
in this years campaign is that i
comes from the Chicago Tribune, mid
die western organ of the new party
The story is not new, but on the con
trary has been the topE of talk in
political circles for many months, but
heretofore it has been repudiated by
the Progressives Now the Chicago
Tribune dignifies it with its own au-
thentication, through its Washington
bureau.
The purpose of this years cam
paigns in all states by the Progress
sive party, the Chicago Tribune states
is to put up front so that the Re-
publican party, in fear of defeat in
the national elections of 1916, will Of
fer to nominate Colonel Roosevelt for
president. The Tribune's Washing
ton story, if it means anything, means
that the Progressive party is a one
man party, that it exists and is press
ing its organization in all the states
TO promote the ambition and the can
didacy Of man. 1t is stated by the
Tribune that the Progressive leaders
in Washington sympathize with Geo.
w. Perkins in the Pinchot- Perkins
row. Yet this disturbance is simply
a proof that the Pinchots are sincere,
that they take the Progressive party !
seriously. There are a few such men
as leaders in the new party and there
are thousands of followers. sincere
new party men, but those active in the
according to the Chicago
are playing political game.
Progressive voters ought not to di-
vide their forces. They have accom-
olished large things heretofore in the
Republican party, which they have
controlled. Their domination of the
party up to the break a
rear or two ago was becoming strong 1
n every year. Progressives can ac-
the best results for the prin-
iples they believe in by cooperating
With one another in the Republican :
anks. There can be but one, possible
fleet Of operating outside asNa third
arty, and that is sweeping pemo- !
ratio victories everywhere. !

YHY do we celebrate tn
NV Fourth of July?" asket
Wv little Willie.
Because" said his ia
Their, "that was the day the Declare
ton of Independence was signed. Coco
gracious, didn't you know that
Whatever are we coming to, anyway
when our children know nothing OF
the facts of their country's history?'
The chances are if you were asked
offhand why we celebrate the Fourth
the reason you would assign would
be the same given by Willie's father;
however, it would be Incorrect The
Declaration of Independence, as it ex-
lists today with John Hancock's dash
ing signature leading off, was not
signed July 4, 1776, the small boy did
not shout to his grandfather to ring
the bell which would tell the glad It'd
ings to the city of Philadelphia, and
the newspapers of the day did not get
out extras on the subject. And, ac-
cording to old John Adams, second
president of the United States, we
have been making mistake for one
hundred and thirty-six years in eel
ebrating the Fourth. We ought to
celebrate the Second of July.
The Declaration of independence, as
you ought to know, was written by
Thomas Jefferson, and the Democratic
party has been taking the credit for
t ever since. The Declaration was
he logical outcome of motion intro
luced by Richard Henry Lee of Vir-
,inia, June z, and it was weeks in the
making. The colonies had been in
rms against Great Britain for more
han a year when Lee introduced his
notion, which announced:
"That these United Colonies are,
nd of right ought to be, free and in
ependent states; that they are abb
olved from allegiance to the British
rown; that all political connection
etween them and Great Britain is,
nd ought to be, forever dissolved"
"The resolutions being moved and
sconded," says the journal, sit was l
,solved that consideration of them {

After debate of three days, final '
tie was postponed until July 1. /
lough a majority favored Lees res e
ution, there was bitter opposition t
it. John Dickinson of Pennsylva- T

something of what they are going in

"oLD GLORY SPEAKS"

Secretary Franklin X. Lane of th(
interior department, made a Flag
Day speech to the clerks in his
department which, because of the nov
city of its form as well as because of
its substance, has been widely COM
mented upon. 1t was not reported
fully in the newspapers, but since a
knowledge of it got abroad there have
been great many demands for cop
les of it. Mr. Lanes speech was adj
dressed "To the Makers of the Flag"
1t is printed here in full:
