marched to the capitol and tore down
the Confederate flag. Captain Driver
begged the captain to let him raise
his "Old Glory" The plea was
granted, and, escorted by Lieutenant

Ry GEORGE LEWIS BAILEY.

~ NE hundred and forty years
ago occurred the memorable
event we celebrate at this
season. There were gathered
in the old statehouse in Philadelphia
half a hundred men, determined upon
a course that was destined to affect
the history Of the world. The Decla-
ration had been written. A committee
had been out all night in it's prepare
ton. Finally the door Of the commit
tee room swung open. Three men ap-
peared. Thomas Jefferson held the
parchment in an unsteady hand. He
advanced and spread it upon the table.
There was one questionable one ques-
ton in the minds and upon the lips
of those who waited: Shall it be
signed or not?" Jefferson spoke few
bold words and sat down. Adams was
on his feet in an instant. Ablaze with
the inspiration Of the hour, he poured
out his whole soul. Somebody whis.
pered something about "gibbets" A
ripple of uneasiness moved through
Ju6 CIOWu. ITO SpedhcI Scllbcu III
and instinctively knew that the psy.
Geological moment was upon them
Towering to his tiptoe height, he lift
ed his voice in a ringing crescendo:
Sign that parchment! Sign, if the
next moment the gibbet's rope is
about your necks! Sign, if the next
moment this hall rings with the clash
of falling axes! With the last sound
of my voice, with the last gasp Of my
breath, would implore you, men, tc
sign-sign in the name of fathers
brothers, wives, children, in the name
of our childrens children :"
Already men were fastening tc
grasp the pen. And now the parch
ment Is signed. From yonder tower
the old bell peals forth the news
And now, 140 years after, those tones
are echoed and re-echoed around the
world, and are known and understood
wherever man has learned the name
of liberty.

Bell Made by Melting Chimes Given
in Queen Anne's Time.
strange wailings of that British ghost
were said to be audible after dusk.
Walking west from the village
square a short distance one comes to
old st. Peters church, the fourth
house of worship erected on this site.
In it's yard are headstones dating
back as far as 1913. Upon the tomb
stone of Philip Honeywell, who was
active during the Revolution, this in
scription was placed:
Look on this stone and you will find
My journeys DER, and yours behind:
Think, then, before you turn away,
That yours may end before this day.
This was one of the early churches
upon which Queen Anne bestowed
gifts. In her day it's chime of bells
was given it. The old bells have since
been melted and made into a new
one, which rings Sabbath-day pilgrims
to service as of old.
Across the street stands the parish
house. This building, says Doctor
Clendenin, the rector, was the one
| used for two weeks as the colonial
capital of the state of New York when
an epidemic of fever prompted a sud.
den move.
A few blocks farther west is the
picturesque rectory, standing quite
alone on green knoll. It's surround

From 1858 to 1859 Westchester was
the shire town. The village was set
tied in 1912 by Throckmorton (for
whom Throg's Neck was named), who
arrived from Massachusetts with a
group driven thence along with Roger
Williams. They procured permission
to make their homes at Westchester
settling IS families there. The Dutch
had called the spot Vredeland, mean
ing Land of Peace, and perhaps the
name had something to do with at
tracing these weary worshipers.
Today the spot is one to which the
hearts of all true Americans turn in
reverent love.

Sir: | WIS greatly impressed by the
promptness with which the young Ha-
waiians responded to the cry for as
sistance in the near drowning accident
at Waikiki beach few days ago. Up
on making inquIries4 found that those
in authority there have made abso-
lutely no arrangement with these
young men TO rescue their patrons in
distress, and that they are continually
saving lives without SO much as a

instead of demanding % per cent OF
their eaIn.ngs-which / am told is the
case-they should show their appre-
citation of this excellent work by keep
ing at least one man On guard during
the bathing hour and paying him a
salary, no matter how small. To me
it looks mighty small in the managers
of these establishments to expect the
young men to act as life guards and
then take a rakeoff Of the money they
earn. / for one wish to express my
admir- ltion and appreciation Of unself,
ishness and bravery CT these young
men.

MORE sIeNs-FEwER ARRESTS.

When the Honolulu police inaugurate one of
heir periodic campaigns against violators of
he traffic law, it is satisfying to the non
hfoists of the community but pretty hard on
he autoists.
They suddenly find that what went unpun-
she'd and apparently unnoticed on Monday was
rounds for arrest on Tuesday; that what was
,erfecty all right on Tuesday got them in the
avs clutches on Wednesday; that what their
Ieighbors did hilariously and with impunity on
Wednesday brought them to grief on Thurs
lay.
That is about what happened to some thirty
Unhappy drivers who were gathered in
yer Sunday for proceeding along the lefthand
Tide of Kalakana avenue instead of the right
land side. For weeks past other drivers have
Been on the wrong side, running fast, running
low, running medium. They took that side
0ccause it promised better surface and less
Inst than the other. Some were doubtless ig-
Nofant of the fright hand drive" rule. Others
must have known of it but saw so many OF their
lellow-autoists taking the wrong side that they
hlso took this side and "took the chance, y too.
Then the arrests, the haling into police court,
md the fine and suspension of sentence.
What one of the country's most noted auto
nannfacturers-W r. Timken- remarked to
Tie Star Bulletin after his visit to the police
court is quite correct-that many visiting au-
Ioisfs are likely to violate this regulation in
nitro innocence of breaking any law. His sug-
1estion of neat but plainly warning signs is a
bod one !. 1t will save embarrassment, court
ork and perhaps some bitter feelings on the
BART Of visitors suddenly placed in the position
bI law violators, Most autoists will not disre-
1afd plain warning at the beginning of the
|oad and those who do disregard it are the
sort who will benefit by a little journey to the
Iolice court.
Without quarreling with the good intentions
of the police department, nor castingsundue re-
1ections on its suddenly conceived campaign,
the community may profit by these cases If
he city is too poor to have the signs posted
Ionspicuously, the Honolulu Automobile Club
0r some other organization doubtless can find a
tay of getting it done without draining the
municipal treasury.
