instructed to vote in It's favor, on July
A, which thenceforth became the recog-
nized birthday of the new nation.
The old bell ringer Of Philadelphia,
who had been patiently waiting for the
news in the steeple of the historic
statehouse, was the first to peal out
the message of American independence
on the bell ever since honored as the
Liberty Bell. No longer was there any
doubt that public opinion was ready
for the step, for, as the news spread,
1t was everywhere received with ex-
ultation.
Word came to George Washington
July 8, at his headquarters in New
York, that the Declaration was ratified,
and 1t was at once read to the sol
diers and citizens. On the same day
the New York assembly, in session at
White Plains, gave its formal vote for
independence, and the thirteen colonies
were then united in their common
cause.
John Hancock, president of the con-
gress, vas the only member who signed
the declaration on July 4. An engross-
ed copy on parchment was ordered for
all the delegates to sign. This was
completed August 2 and signed by "a

Ancient Soap Making.
hands

A SOAP boilers shop was among the
things discovered in the excavation at
Pompeii several years ago. The city
was buried beneath volcanic ashes A.
d. 70. 1t is said that the soap found
in the shop had not lost all efficacy,
although it had lain under the ashes
more than eighteen hundred years.
Soap making was quite a business in
a number of the Italian cities at the,
time that Pompeii was destroyed
Pliny the elder speaks of soap, and
says that because it's price was so
high many substitutes were used
among them a kind of glutinous earth
and fine sand mixed in the juice OF
certain plants that made lather. His
tory tells us that the Gauls made soap
two thousand years ago by combining
beech tree ashes and goats fat.

lator suggested that a statue of Paine
in gold would not be too high an honor.
Richard Henry Lees Resolution.
Things moved rapidly In the colonies
after that, and Richard Henry Lee of
Virginia rose in the Continental con-
gress at Philadelphia, June Z, 1776, and
presented his famous resolutions which
led to the Declaration of Independence.
The resolutions, in Lees handwriting,
and now one of the treasured papers
in the library of congress, we're:
Resolved, That these United Colonies
are and of right ought to be free and
Independent states; that they are abb
solved from all allegiance to the British
crown, and that all political connection
between them and the state of Great
Britain is and ought to be totally dis
solved;
That it is expedient forthwith to take
the most effectual measures for form
ing foreign alliances;
That a plan of confederation be pre-
pared and transmitted to the respective
colonies for their consideration and ap-
probation.
Here, in fact, was the Declaration of
independence in a nutshell, proposed
by one of the most eminent men OF
the most influential colony at that
time and promptly seconded by John
Adams of Massachusetts. 1t was deem
ed wise to order the secretary to omit
their names from the journal. The next
day congress went into a committee OF

delegates. Two others signed later,
Thomas Mexican of Delaware, who was
absent with his regiment in August,
and Matthew Thornton of New Hamp-
shire, who was not elected to congress
until the fall, but was permitted to
sign the document in November, MAX
ing the total number of the famous
HSignerS" sc.
The Two Most Famous Signers.
Of all the signers, Jefferson and
Adams bear a deeper personal relation
to the declaration than any others.
Adams was it's most vigorous supporter
In congress and Jefferson bears testi-
mony to his valuable aid. In after
years both received the highest honors
that the citizens could bestow. They
were permitted to witness the growth
of their country for half a century
from the first independence day. The
day Of their death, July A, 1926, was
the fftieth anniversary of the memoir
able Fourth of July. 1t was the most
remarkable coincidence ever recorded
In American history. Jefferson was
eighty-three years old and John Adams
n~inety-one years.
The Sc signers were distributed
among the IS states in the following
proportion: Pennsylvania, 9; Virginia,
Z; Massachusetts, 5; New Jersey, s.;
Connecticut 4; Maryland, A: New
York, A; South Carolina, A; New
Hampshire, 8; Delaware, 3; Georgia,
B; North Carolina, 8; Rhode Island, 2.

How Famous
Declaration
Was Adopted

INDEPENDENCE day this year
witnesses the unique spectacle of
the Stars and Stripes and the flag
of Great Britain intertwined in a
bond of friendship, the United States
allied with her old mother country in
fighting the world battles of democ-
racy In that memorable document
which was proclaimed to the inhabi-
tants of the original thirteen colonies
142 years ago is a sentence which
seems fitting now as an indictment OF
the European monarch against whom
America is at war. 1t is this:
Our repeated petitions have been an
Bwered only by repeated injury.
And then follows this severe arraign-
ment of George III, the last of the Eng
fish kings who maintained the divine
right of rule:
A. prince whose character is thus mark
ed by every act which may define a ty-
rant is unfit to be the ruler of a free
people.
Prior to the Revolutionary struggle
the sentiment in all the colonies for
ten years and more from the time OF
the first Stamp Act troubles was
strongly against a severance of rela-
lions with the parent country. Paul
Revere's ride and the battles of Lexing-
ton and Concord in April, IT'S, memo
rable as those events are as the fofe-
runners of the great conflict, failed to
arouse any widespread enthusiasm for
independence. 1t is even significant to
note that just a year before h Dec
laration of Independence was unani-
mously approved by all of the thirteen
colonies the Continental congress that
had appointed Washington comman-
der in chief of the army, drew up, uiy
6. 1775, a declaration of the causes for
taking up arms in which 1t was said:
We mean not to dissolve that union,
which has SO long and so happily sub
| sisted between us and which we sincere
iy wish to see restored.
Even Thomas Jefferson, the author.
of the Declaration of Independence,
two months after the battle of Bunker
Hill wrote that he was blocking with
fondness toward a reconciliation with
| Great Britain"
A few far-sighted leaders like Ben
jamin Franklin, Samuel and John
Adams and Patrick Henry had felt at
a comparatively early date that
a break was inevitable.
The historic declaration Of the citi-
Zens of Mecklenburg county, North
Carolina, in May, 1775, was n of sew
eral local events indicating that public
opinion was tending toward independ-
ence, but not until the appearance of
Thomas Paine's stirring pamphlet,
"Common Sense" early in January,
l1ZR Maslthere any ~eppppreciaPle public
sentiment in it's favor. In
language of the day it presented u
facts so simply that all could under
stand. This phenomenon" as John
Adams styled Paine, suddenly found
himself transformed from obscurity to
fame. The Pennsylvania legislature
voted him $500, and a Southern legis'
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-07-05

The true and controlling reason why
the government of Louis XVI inter-
vened in our war of independence was
the enthusiasm of the French people
for the cause of liberty. Considera-
tons of material advantage were en-
tirely secondary. Public opinion forced
the hand of an unwilling and hesitate
ing government, and placed at our
disposal the economic, military and
naval Of the country.
