1776 the delegates from New York
felt some difiidence in voting. as they
had no Instructions. Wlsner, however.
did cast a vote in favor Of independ-
ence, and before August 2 New York
had instructed her delegation to agree
to the Declaration.
There was a hearty response when
1t became known that signatures were
to be appended TO the document. Sam
ueI Chase of Maryland was absen;
from congress on July 4 anc the next
day he wrote from Annapolis to John
Adams, How shall / transmit TO pos-
terity that / gave my assent?" On
the ninth Adams replied. "As som as
an American seal is prepared ] con
lecture the Declaration will be sub
scribed to by all the members, which
Will give you the opportunity you wish
for of transmitting your name among
the votaries of independence"
Elbridge Gerry of New YORK had to
leave Philadelphia two weeks after
the Declaration had been adopted. and
he wrote to John and to Samuel Adj
ans, "Pray subscribe for me We Dec
Iaration of Independence if We same is
to be signed as proposed. / th'pk we
ought TO have We privilege when neces-
sarily absent of voting and signing by
proxy"
OF the signers who did not vote for
the Declaration because they we're not
members at that time William VIII
liams of Connecticut was not elected
until July IL; Rush, Clymer Smith,
Taylor and Ross of Pennsylvania were
not elected until July 20. Charles Car
j roll of Carrollton, as well as Chase,
was attending a meeting of the Mary
land convention on July A. George
Wythe of Virginia on the same day
was chairman of the committee of the
whole of the Virginia convention, and
Richard Henry Lee was in the conyen-
ton, having been compelled to return
from Philadelphia on account OF sick
ness In his family, having left on June
Is. William Hooper of North Caro-
lima was absent from Philadelphia at
leasHas late as July 8. Yet all of these
members signed the Declaration. al
though some of them, 1t has been
shown, were rot even members at that
time. and four members were absent.
Thomas Mclean of Delaware was
the last to sign and did not do so Until
Eve years after the adoption of the
Declaration and at a. time when the
war virtually was at an end 1t was
through no fault of Mclean. His name
was omitted from the printed copy in
the Journal.
The popular. traditional idea OF the
signing of the Declaration of hide
pendence presents 1t as graceful aid
formal function taking place July A,
1776. in a large. handsomely furnished
chamber In Independence hall. Phila-
delphia. To give the necessary touch
of vivaeity To the picture there is the
scene of the small boy dating from
the door as the last signer sefs his
autograph to the parchment and dash,
Ing down the street. calling to his
grandfather to "Ringl oh. ring for
iibertyl"
AS matter Of fact the Declaration
Of Independence was signed behind
locked doors. The city was not breath
lessly awaiting the event outside. nor
did the Liberty Bell peal forth on that
day the triumphal note of freedom.
From these facts 1t appears that the
'Foufth of July might with good rea-
son have fallen upon either July or
August . instead of upon July 4.

Paris, France.-Standing amid the
ruins of Fort Douamont, just beyond
Verdun, and surveying the spectacle
of ruined villages, the tortured earth.
tie wasted and shell-torn regions-the
awful destruction and desolati0n
stretching league after league in ev-
cry direction-one does not feel that
the peace terms handed to the Ger
man delegation at Versailles are too
severe. One cannot look upon this
work of fiends and feel that any
punishment or any indemnities are
too great for the nation responsible
for the scenes that are everywhere
apparent throughout tile northern
part of France and Belgium.
We followed the road taken by the
second and third American armies on
their way to the Argonne and Chateau
Thierry sectors. Over hills. through
valleys and quaint villages runs the
road, as straight as an arrow for over
hundred lzilometers (about two kill
ometers to a mile) bordered on both
sides by trees, which when their TO
liage is out, forms a complete arch

roads constructed by the government
that frequently you can see the next
town at a distance of ten miles, usu-
ally with the cathedral standing APP

Villages nesting on the hillsides or
perched on the crest of hill, come
into view and disappear as we speed
along IN almost perfect ''rue ma

Scenes of Great Beauty.
These picturesque villages, with
their houses of cement or stucco, red
tiled roofs, upon background of
green, present a scene that would
enrapture the heart of an artist. The
colors of the scenery and the sky in
France are Incompatible.
Passing through Claye. Meaux and
Montmirail toward ChaIlons, there
are acres of farm land on both sides
of the roadway. Hundreds of acres
are under cultivation and one won

till the land come from. for often
there are no houses in sight for many
miles.

CONSTITUTIONAL of which he was in
strumental in preparing.
The committee elected Jefferson
chairman and instructed him to make
draft of declaration. The com
mittee submitted its first draft June %.
July 2 the congress adopted the res
olution presented by Lee and resolved
to take further consideration on the
morrow. On the third the commits e
had not finished its labors, but on July
it presented a completed draft to the
body, and after long debate, which
continued until the night, the con
gress adopted the Declaration of In
| dependence. After the committee of
the whole had debated the paper for
hours Benjamin Harrison reported TO
congress that the Declaration of indie
pendence had been agreed to by the
committee of the whole The paper
was again read and ordered printed.
The Declaration was committed to
the printer, Dunlap. Immediately, and
the broadside was ready on the fol-
lowing day, July 5, when it received
the signatures of John Hancock and
of Charles Thomson, president and
secretary Of congress. respectively. au-

to the governments of the thirteen
states The signatures were followed
by the words. "By Order and in Be

Copies of the broadslde were e
to the various states and to the con.
handing officers of the continental
troops. 1t is not certain that each Of
these bore the signatures of the pres
ident and the secretary.
On July 10 it was ordered that the
Declaration passed on the fourth
should be fairly engrossed on pafch-
ment with the title and style of The
Unanimous Declaration of the Thir-
teen UnItel States of America, and

The common understanding is that the
fifty-five men whose names are APP
pended were present In congress on
July 4. 1776. and asserting 70 the
Declaration. This understanding Is
far from the truth.
Signatures appear on the document

congress at the time the Declaration
WAS agreed on. It has been suggested
that the proper Interpretation of the

members about this time.
But Henry Wisner OF New Fork,
who voted for independence. did not
sign, and Robert Morris, who did. not
cast his vote for the Declaration, did.
Wisner was absent in New York on
August 10 attend the provincial con-
gress, TO which he had been elected,
and evidently never had an oppertu-
nifty TO affix his signature to the doc
ument.
There was reason for the delay in
appending the signatures apart from
the time necessary to have the docu-
ment engrossed. 1t was intended to
have the Declaration go out to the
world as the unanimous declaration of
all the colonies, and on July Fourth,

gan to fight the British
This is about the way the average
schOolbOy--not to say some older
Amertcans-thinks the Declaration of
Independence came into existence, the
independence of the United States of
America was secured and the Fourth
of July became a national holiday.
While some of the details concern
1ng the Declaration of Independence
viii always be a matter of argument
among historians, the sequence of
events Is clear and runs like this:
Fighting between the Americans and
the British began April 10, 1775. at
Lexington. Even after the fighting
was on 1t was some time before the
movement for independence gained
much Roadway In the public mind.
February 13, 1776, a committee APP
pointed to prepare an address to the
country presented its report to con-
gress. This report reads in part:
I'VE have been accused of carrying
on the war for the purpose Of estab-
fishing an empire. We disavow the in
tention. We declare that what we
aimed at and what we are entrusted
by you to pursue is the defense and
re-establishment of the constitutional
rights of the colonies"
1t was not until June z, 1915, that
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia intro
duced a resolution which was to be-
come only less familiar than the Dec
laration Itself. This resolution con
tains the famous sentence: "That
these United States 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 political connection be-
tween them and the state of Great
Britain is and ought TO be dissolved"
This resolution was debated many
times by congress. The chief speak
ers for separation were John Adams.
ais cousin, Samuel Adams; Roger
Sherman, oliver Olcott, Richard Henry
Lee and George Wythe. John Dick.
fnson OF Pennsylvania led the opposi-
ton for delay, prominent among his
followers being John Jay, James VIII
son, James Duane, Edward Rutledge
and Robert r. Livingston, but It was
evident from the beginning that they
were In the minority.
To save time a committee was ap-
pointed on June IL to frame the Dec
laration of Independence. Strange TO
say Richard Henry Lee, who was the
father of the resolution, and by par
llamentary right should have had the
craftsmanship of the committee, was
left out of 1t. The reasons for this
omission have been variously ex.
planned. II is fact that he was alb.
sent when the committee was named
having been called home by the Illness
of his WIFE
The five members were Thomas JEFF
ferson of Virginia, John Adams of
Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin OF
Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of Con-
nectieut and Robert r. Livingston Of

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

After a man has been married
while he wonders who the wal
eyed IDIOT was who called them
the weaker sex.
A girl may not know a thing
about social etiquette and yet be
there with bells on when it comes
to displaying good form.
Some men remind you of tou-
pees. They are always trying to
fool other people and never get
away with it.
You do not have to go to some
other state to get rich. Success
full men make their money at
home.
The trouble with kicking all the
time is that nobody will pay any
attention to you when you really
have cause to kick.
If you do not like a man, pay
no attention to him. 1t sure saps
a whole lot of vitality to hate a
man.
Gilpin observer., 1919-05-01

Wages! The important thing Is to
determine the connection between
wages and prices so equitably that no
one will be able to dispute the justice
OF the readjustment. The Bankers
Trust company Of New York city, on
the basis Of Bradstreet's prices for es-
sential commodities, has made an ac-
curate computation Of the living costs
to Its employees for the last six
months, and has added from 30 to 40
per cent to salaries which had previ-
ously been advanced three times In the
Inst two years, says Leslie's Weekly.
This method should be adopted in all
Industries and among all corporations.
The principle upon which 1t rests-the
purchasing power Of the dollar-can
be applied as equItably to wages and
salaries when living costs decrease as
when they increase.
