prize as we ought the great boon of
independence under our flag. Once in
q while I hear women assert with
emphasis that whoever else may be
free they certainly are not SO, and that
they never will be SO until they have
the ballot This special problem of vot-

and me when we look at our position
and compare 1t with that OF the wom-

thoughtful women are coming round to
the belief that they ought to have the
ballot. Others, however, equally
thoughtful, take an opposite view, and
until a majority can agree that they
desire to have a share In nominating
and electing those who carry on our
government everything will remain
very much as it is at present. Surely
we have little of which to complain
at this hour. The independence which
Ia the special boast and pride Of Amer
leans and which moves us all to dem
onstration when the Fourth of July
returns is as precious to women as to
men, blesses their home lives and CON

mother, of course" Ask an American
husband to name the power behind
the throne in his home, and he replies
without hesitation: "My wife," When
Abraham Lincoln was nominated for
the presidency he said to the group
around him: There is little woman
at home, who will be glad to hear
this" 1t is the little woman at
homo who sends the husband forth
day by day to his fields of endeayor;
1t is she for whom he tolls, and 1t is
she whose ideals insensibly become
his. The little woman at home molds
her boys and girls into whatever
shape she pleases. Why not? God
and mother have the children first
before any other influence can touch
their lives. If our women are abb
sorbed in trivialties, II they care lit
tie about honor, duty or conscience, If
they are vain and consider dress and
luxury as more important than educa-
ton and piety, If they scorn simple
ity and put the emphasis Of conduct
on show, they cannot help dragging
down the men. Few men have high

them, mothers, wives, sisters and

Used to wish the earth was drilled
Out inside and powder filled.

Fifty of those ffty-six men were
present during the discussion and
adoption OF the Declaration, and, as
delegates to the continental congress,
were essential factors in its ultimate
ratification. The other six, elected
members Of congress later, neverthe-
less took part in the general move
ment BY signifying themselves in IA
yor of it, and were allowed to sign.
Thomas Jefferson, as the author Of
the Declaration, attained lasting
fame, as did John Hancock. president
of the continental congress
All BraveIy Did Their Share.
But of the men who stand outside Of
that ring Of immortality much can be
said. II Jefferson, Hancock and Lee
were generals, the others were at the
same time essential to the Declaration.
They. as much as the others, affixed
their names to what was at that time
an extremely dangerous document.
They, as well as the others, burned
their bridges behind them and took
their stand firmly upon their convic-
ton. 1t required the signatures of
recognized delegates from each of the
Is states to make the Declaration of
Independence complete.
II the veil Of 1873 years could be lift
ed and those days lived over again, it
v9Hld be interesting to see with what
emotions those men among men took
the stand for independence. 1t would
be inspiring to hear the tone in which
each gave his answer when called
upon to vote for or against the ratifi-
cation of that which was to give this
country its freedom. But 1t would
have been even more dramatic to have
lowered near the desk on which the
Declaration lay and watched each man
as he came forward and affixed his
signature, lasting testimonial to the
world, and Great Britain, especially,
of the courage for and faith in the.
new country these men we're creating.
The precise hour OF the day Of the
adoption Of the Declaration of lnde-
pendence is not determinable from rec
ords. It is known, however, that con-
gress entered upon direct considera-
ton of the question on the first OF
July 1776, by voting to resolve itself
into committee Of the whole to con-
slider the resolution introduced by
Richard Henry Lee, and to refer the
draft Of the Declaration to this com
mittee. It was Richard Henry Lees
asolution that ran: THAT these Uni
ted Colonies are, and of right ought to
be, free and independent states

After q discussion lasting the entire
