BY this unusual consideration Lord
Rawdon lost his coveted information,
for as soon as his back was turned she
ate the letter, bit by bit! When even
tually released she succeeded in reach
ing her destination, where she was
able to give her message orally, If
not In true military and documentary
style. In consequence Sumter soon
Joined Greene's army. Emily later
married a wealthy planter.
The destinations of women have sell
dom peer used to better advantage
than upon a certain afternoon shortly
after the retreat from New York, when
a troop of British soldiers were de
tanned at the house of q Mrs. Murray,
who gave them cake and wine and
such sprightly talk that they remain
ed two hours-just long enough to al
low General Putnam, the last to leave
the city, to make retreat across the
dangerous. highroad on which the Brit
fishers were lettering. Think of the ex-
element of this little Quaker when
she realized that by her subterfuge she
had saved a part of the American
army!
There is no doubt that we owe our
present wealth and ease to the cou
age and re~sourcefulness of the early
American woman quite as much as to
the efforts of the men. She was the
mother. of those great men whose In
tellects were the backbone of the
American nation. 1t was her sacrifice
and nobility that made 1t possible for
them to be what they were. Their
lives are her eternal panegyric; their
works the undying proclamation Of her
power.

FROM A JULY a SPEECH
BY PRESIDENT WILSON.

Every patriotic American is a man
who is not niggardly and selfish In the
things he needs that make for human
liberty and the rights Of man, but
wants to share it with the whole world
And he is never so proud of the great
flag as when it means for other people
as well as himself the symbol Of lib
erty and freedom. I would be ashamed
Of this flag If it V 81 did anything out
side Of America that we would not per-
NIT it to do inside Of America. We
stand for the mass of the men, women
and children who make up the vitality
Of every nation.
The world is becoming 0 compli-
Gated every day. Therefore no man
ought to be foolish enough to think he
understands it, and that is the reason
why l am } glad to know there are
some simple things in the world. One
Of those simple things is principle.
Honesty is u perfectly simple thing

And from New Hampshire's granite
heights the echoing peal rings out;
The mountain farms of stanch Vermont
prolong the laundering call,
And Massachusetts answers Bunker Hill"
IA watchword for US all.
Rhode Island shakes her sea wet locks,
acclaiming with the free,
And staid Connecticut breaks forth In
joyous harmony;
The giant Joy of proud New YORK. loud
as an earthquakes roar,
Is heard from Hudson's crowded banks
to Erie's crowded shore.
Still on the booming volley rolls. DER

To where the Mississlppi's flood the tur-
bid gulf invades;
There, borne from l.lany a mighty stream
upon her mightier tide,
Come down the swelling, long huzzas
from all that valley wide.
And wood crowned Allegheny's call, from
all her submits high,
Reyerberates among the rocks that pierce
the sunset sky,
While on the shores and through the
swales, round tine vast inland seas,
The stars and stripes mids freemen's
songs are flashing to the breeze.
Tho woodsman from the mother takes his
boy upon his knee
And tells him how their fathers fought
and bled for liberty.
The lonely hunter sits him down the for
est spring beside
To think upon his country's worth n
feel his country's pride,
While many a foreign accent which our
God can understand
Is blessing him for home and bread in
this free, fertile land.
Yes; when upon the eastern coast we
sink TO happy rest
The day of independence rolls still on
ward to the west
Till dies on the Pacific shore the shout of
jubilee
That woke the morning with its voice
along the Atlantic sea.
o God, look down upon the land which
thou hast loved so we'll
And grant that in unbroken truth her
children still may dwell.
Nor while the grass grows on the hill and
streams flow through the vale
May they forget their athers' faith or
In their covenant fail;
Keep. God. the ~falrest, noblest land that
lies beneath the sun

SlGNERS OF HIGH RANK.
Some of the Nations Fathers Were
Men of Wealth and Distinction.

Among the men who pledged their
lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor in support of the principles of
ing all in breathing life into the ma
ton, were persons of high rank and
distinction. Some of them possessed
fame which passed the boundaries Of
the colonies and was recognized in the
mother country.
Stephen Hopkins, whose tremulous
signature is familiar to every person
who has seen the Declaration, was
chief justice of Rhode Island before
the war, and he was the first abolition
list. He introduced a bill in the colo
NAL legislature to prohibit the impor-
tation of slaves and carried out his
ideas practically by giving freedom to
all the slaves he owned. Besides all
this, he was a great mathematician,
and his name will go down in scien.
tific history as the observer of the
transit of Venus in June, 1761. He
was one of the founders of the Public
library at Providence, a member OF
the American Philosophical society and
the founder and patron Of the free
schools of Providence.
The trembling of his hand when he
signed the Declaration was not due to
fear-to which he was a stranger-but
to palsy. He was a sufferer from that
malady for many years.
Richard Stockton Of New Jersey was

America. AS early as 1894 he had beer

made a sergeant-at-law, in those timei
a position of high distinction In his pro
fession. In 1866, when he visited Eng
land, he found that his fame had pre-
coded him, and he was received every
where with the greatest respect. Al
Edinburgh he was formally received
by the lord provost, and the citizens
dom of the city on him In recognition
of his great learning. He was a friend
of the king, who made him supreme
court judge of New Jersey. Still hi
cast his lot In with the American pa
triots, saw his great estate seized and
ruined and finally died from the effects
of brutal treatment while he was a
prisoner In the hands of the British.
Josiah Bartlett of New Hampshire
besides being one of the first members
of congress to vote for the Declaration
of Independence, was also the first
American physician to discover the vir.
tues of the nov universally used drug
Quinine. He was eminent for his sur
gical skill long before the war broke
out.
Philip Livingston of New York was s
man of great wealth and distinguished
ancestry, a direct descendant of a re
gent of Scotland, a king of the Heb
rides and the Earl of Livingston, in
Scotland. His father vas the founder
of Livingston Manor, on the Hudson
Philip himself was the most prominent
the friend and correspondent of Ed

for America and defense of her cause
were due to L%ivingston's lucid explana'

THE SPIRIT OF INDEPEND-
ENcE DAY.

THE spirit of the nation is at
the highest. Its triumph
over the Unborn, inbred
perils of the constitution has
chased away all fears, justified
all hopes, and with universal
joy we greet this day. We have
not proved unworthy of a great
ancestry. We had the virtue to
uphold what they so wisely, so
firmly established. With these
proud possessions of the past,
with powers matured, with prin-
ciples settled, with habits form
ed, the nation passes, as 1t were,
from preparatory growth to re-
spOnsible development Of charac-
ter and the steady performance
OF duty. What labors await 1t,
what trials shall attend 1t, what
triumphs for human nature,
what glory for itself art prepar-
ed for this people In the coming
century we may not assume 10
foretell. Zone generation pass
eth away and another genera
ton cometh. but the earth abid-
eth forever" and we reverently
hope that these u constituted
liberties shall be maintained to
the unending line of our posteri-
ty and SO long as the earth itself
. shall endure.
In the great procession of ma
lions, In the great march of hui
mainly, we hold our place.
Peace is our duty; peace Is our
policy. In its arts, its labors and
Its victories, then, we find scope
. for all u energies, rewards for
all our ambitions, renown enough
!. for all our love of fame.-Wil-

WOMEN'S PART IN
INDEPENDENCE DAY
They Had Glorious Share In Win
ming American Liberty.

T'r has been said that in every wo-
mans breast there lies the posi-
u bility of great heroism. What
she can do when put to the test
is amply illustrated by the events of
history, not alone in our own country,
but in all others.
Anecdotes of women Of the Revolu-
ton, showing what they did and what
they suffered in so doing, happy in the
thought that they were serving the
country they loved. are positively
thrilling.
One wonders how many young wom-
en- of today would offer themselves to
carry a message from one army to an
other across a country fairly bristling
with hostile troops when not a man
could be found intrepid enough to take
a letter from General Greene to Cen
eral Sumter. Emily Geiger, a frail
young girl, undertook the task and set
out on horseback on a sidesaddle. She
was intercepted Oh the second day
of her journey by Lord Rawdon, who
had her locked up until a Tory matron
could be found to search her person.

RECOMMENDATIONS
To Be Made By Governor Tram
mel To The Legislature

MISUNDERSTANDING up his
announced intention to make pub
lie from time to time a number of
the recommendations which he
proposes to submit to the legisla-
ture, which convenes in April,
Governor Park Trammell states
that he will make recommends
tons upon the following subjects ;
Agricultural Prizes for Boys and
Girls.
| Any policy which tends to en-
courage and increase agricultural
, activities is of unquestionable val
ue to our state. Florida has an
unlimited amount of rich and
productive land and it has untold
possibilities for agricultural ex-
pansion. The ambitious boys
and girls of the state will readily
respond to the encouragement
which might be offered to them by
contests in growing the crops to
which the soils Of their respective
sections are adapted.
suggest the wisdom of legisla-
ton being enacted which would
authorize the county commission
ers Of the various counties to offer
prizes for such contests. In
some few communities in the state
contests of this kind have been in
augurated with splendid results.
Graded Corporation Tax
The privileges to a corporation
by the state are valuable to the in
corporators, and gives them rights
and exemptions from Liabilities
that individuals do not enjoy.
1t is for the purpose of
exercising these privileges that
persons form corporations.
Many states impose an annual tax
on all corporations, and | WOULD
suggest the enactment of a law
a small annual license
tax on corporations doing bust
ness in this state-say from $500 |
to $4,000, based upon capital
stock.
Prohibit Insurance Combines
There is considerable complaint |
that life and fire insurance is ex-
cessively high. 1t is also appar-
ent that the insurance companies
have some mutual understanding
in the matter of fixing rates. |
would, therefore, suggest a law
that would make it unlawful for
two or more insurance companies
doing business in this state, or for
officers, agents or employees of
such companies to make or enter
into any combination or arrange
ment relating to the rates to be
charged for insurance, the amount
Of commission to be allowed |,
agents for procuring the same, or
he manner Of transaCting such
business within this state.
Reform Civil Court Procedure
The court procedure in this state
las become more or less antiquat-
ID and out Of balance with the {
present day thought and progress '
i've spirit of the times. There is {
iced for reform in the law and {
ules which govern the proceed t
ngs III our courts. S
Florida has as honorable, able {
nd efficient judiciary as any state 2
4 the Union. The fault is not e.
18th the judiciary, but with the
Tvs and rules by which our |
OurtS are guided. Under our
resent system it is impossible to
orce trial in a civil case in less
nan six to twelve months. Ev- |
'y kind of technical dodge that
Ill 0oIlcn I,Io,,, 80 -. - | |
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-02-25

The law should be so changed as
to expedite and hasten trial. A
litigant should be able to get a
hearing on his case within one to
two months after suit is instituted.
The pleadings should be simpli-
fed and technicalitieS eliminated
in all of the courts. The time al
lowed for entering and perfecting
appeals should be shortened.
With a change of our law along
these lines much will be accom-
.plishe,l towards giving to our citi-
zehS justice without unreasonable
delays and without excessive cost
