Memory of Signers
Should Be Honored

The erection OF a memorial I'm
Washington to the signers of the
Declaration of independence is
proposition worthy of promotion and
execution. The memory of these men
should be preserved and their names
should be so displayed that all Ameri-
cans may read them. The signers
were a select body of patriots whose
service to the country and the world
was OF most distinguished kind, vet
few Americans Of average education
know very much about them. It Is gen.
orally the soldiers on whom the SPOT
light Of history shines.
Many Of the slgners, in fact
great majority Of them, were men
whose memory the average American
does not preserve. A man may know

DRY CLAUSE IN
FOOD MEASURE
1t Enacted Into Law the Bill
Would Effect Nationwide
Prohibition Soon
THE VOTE STOOD 1872 TO ia
Amendments Are Probable In the Sen.
ate Where Dry Sentiment is
Said to Favor Excepting
Wines and Beers

Washington. ID. C.-The House after
stormy debate, and amidst cheers from
the dry forces and jeers for the wet
members, adopted mandatory
amendment TO the Food Control bill
prohibiting the use of any foodstuffs
in the making of intoxicating liquors
by a vote of 1872 to ia. If this be-
comes a law nationwide prohibition
becomes fact as soon as the present
supply of liquor is exhausted.
The text of the amendment reads:
mo person shall use any foods, food
materials or foods in the production of
alcohol or alcoholic ,or non-alcoholic
beverages. Any person willfully vio-
lating this section shall upon convic-
ton be fined not TO exceed $4,000, or
imprisoned not more than two years
or both"
Retention by the Senate OF the dras-
tic prohibition amendments added by
the House, or at least of provisions
prohibiting use of foodstuffs in manu-
featuring distilled spirits, is deemed
probable. The principal fight on the
prohibition question is expected to
come over permitting manufacture of
malt liquors and wines. Senate senti-
ment against further manufacture of
whisky, brandy and other distilled
spirits is widespread, but many dry"
senators oppose extending the prohibit
ton to beer and wine.

Good Roads Are Urged.

In issuing what might be termed a
last call to the county courts and the
people Of the state for the certffcation
or all Class roads, as provided for
under the new road law, the state road
commission makes. the following ap-
peal:
One or the most important steps in
the development of the state of West
virginia is the establishment OF Glass
roads. The location OF these roads
viii have bearing on the future road
agricultural and industrial develop
ment. 1t is very important that every
citizen OF the state join hands with
the commission and the county courts
In getting the best locations, the
cheapest routes, and the routes that
VIII serve the most people all costs
considered and be the easiest main
tanned.
This proposition is of such magni-
tude as to demand and require the at
tention of every person and should
have it because whatever is done now
will be reflected in future years. II
1t is well done the reflection will be-
for good but if improperly done it will
be a detriment. The demands on the
commission are very great and the
cooperation OF the loyal patriotic citi-
zens Of the state will be appreciated.
The location OF the Glass A roads must
be done with patriotic spirit free
from selfish interests. It must be done
with an eye fixed singly upon the
best interest of the state and its peo.
pie as a whole"

TN VIEW of the fact that the 4s
states of the Union, together with
4 Porto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska,
celebrate the Fourth of July as
independence day, it is interesting TO
note how this nationwide holiday came
to be celebrated, and what it should
signify to all Americans.
July is now a holiday commemo-
rating the birthday OF the nation. for
on that day in 1776 the Continental
Congress of the 13 colonies of
America adopted the Declaration
OF independence which proclaimed
them free and independent states. ab-
solved from all allegiance to the Brit
lsh crown. The original of this "birth
certincate," written by hand on parch-
ment and now much worn and faded
Is preserved carefully in an air-tIght

dependence is on exhibition in the dl-
vision or history In the older building
" the National museum at Washing
ION, where there are also preserved
personal relics and mementos of sew
sral of the members of the second Con-
mental Congress who signed this great
resolution.
The history OF the origin and draft
ng OF the declaration is of consider
able interest. In the second Cont
Mental Congress, which was meeting
m Philadelphia, Richard Henry Lee
Of Virginia, on June Z, 17z6, intro
iuced the following resolution, which
was seconded by John Adams:
Resolved, That these United Colo
nies are. and of right ought to be,
free and independent states; that they
are absolved from all allegiance to
the British crown, and that all poIiti-
cal connection between them and the
State of Great Britain is, and ought
to be, totally dissolved.
Foreign Alliances Urged.
THAT 1t is expedient forthwith to
take the most effectual measures for
forming foreign alliances.
"That plan of confederation be pre-
pared and transmitted to the respec-
tive colonies for their appreciation"
Consideration of this resolution was
postponed, and on June IL Thomas
Jefferson, John Adams. Benjamin
Franklin. Robert Sherman. and r. r.
Livingston were appointed a commit
tee to prepare n declaration to serve
as a preamble to this independent reso-
luton. This committee, known as
