GOOD WORD FOR THE BIRDS

That Is Harmful.

OF which can be heard from no trained
orchestra They dot the landscape vita
a beauty that no artistic skill can
rival They are beautiful, useful In
their destruction Of harmful insect

Now, then, is a good time for a re-
newed appeal for the lives and well
being OF birds.
The best instincts Of the human race
are devoted to the saving Of ali kinds
Of life. and sanction the taking Of life
only when such destruction serves .
purpose useful to mankind.
This cannot be urged in the case OF
the birds For the most part they ars

time appointed a committee of five TO prepare
a declaration of independence of the same pur-
port as Lees resolution, in the hope that the
new doctrine would be unanimously accepted
when the matter should be again taken up in
July.
Policy demanded that a southerner should
be chosen to write the declaration in order to
increase the probability of its unanimous adop-
ton. Logically, Jefferson the to carry
this work through, for the mastery style OF his
pen was well known. With such coworkers,
though, 1t cannot be supposed that he alone was
the author of the resolution; for the RESPONSE
bility had been assigned to all five jointly and
the counsel and advice of all necessary.
However, the credit of the phraseoIogy is given
to Jefferson while John Adams is said TO have
given close attention to the revision and the
amending of the resolution. The entire commit
tee helped perfect the documents by making it the
subject of critical analysis. In allowing the
Declaration of independence to be ready before
its assembly June % congress preceded its
schedule.
Satisfied that all were acquainted with its con-
tents, the legislature then laid the bill on the
table until it should come up for discussion by
congress sitting a committee of the whole.
By trial vote July only nine colonies voted
as favorable to the resolution.
Final legislative action was therefore deferred
until the next day That, July g. probably
the most memorable of all dates of national
history. During the stormy debate at that time
mended.
When the vote of the day takenit was found
that the declaration had been unanimously in
dorsed by all of the thirteen colonies.
The vote in favor of the declaration not
sufficient to make the adoption of the reso-
luton complete, for the next day congress sat as
a committee of the whole to consider the bill At
that time slight alterations made, certain
clauses censuring England omitted and
others regarding slave trade were left out while
other amendments added.
On July congress assembled again and i'm
mediately resolved itself into committee for the
consideration OF the Declaration Of Independence
When John Hancock as president OF the con-
gress, resumed the chair, Mr.. Harrison, great
grandfather Of former president Of the United
States, reported that his committee had agreed
to the declaration, which they desired him to
report.
What followed this announcement is largely a
matter OF surmise, despite the fact that the de-
bate lasted all through the warm day, when dele
gates either talked listened swathed in heavy,
closeftting stocks.
If it had not been for seemingly trivial Incl
dent the debates of that day might probably have
