&ae ton "That these united
colonies are and of right
ought to be. free and Independent
states" was introduced in congress
June 7. 1716; that 1t was adopted July
2. and that the document itself was
not made public until July 8, and was
not signed by the members of congress
until August 2. 1t was on July 4.
1776, that the vote on the Declara-
ton itself was taken. and the docu-
Inent ordered authenticated and
printed" So the Fourth Of July 1t is
and ever shall be.
Nevertheless, there are other Dec
laratlons, and some of them come
pretty near being Declarations OF In
dependence. except that they we're not
adopted by congress. The truth is
that Independence was In the air for
some time before July 4, 1776. The
leaders preferred to say that they were
petitioners in arms" even after Lex
ington and Concord and Bunker Hill,
and many OF them doubtless had no
determination for independence. But
the people In many localities were ripe
for Independence. So 1t is not to be
wondered that some of them made
declarations.
One of the earliest of these Dec
larations was that Of the people of
Mendon, Mass, March I, 1773. 1t
speaks for itself, and here 1t is:
That all men have naturally an
equal right to life, liberty and prop
erty.
That all just and lawful govern
ment must originate In the free con-
sent of the people.
That the good. happiness and safety
Of the people Is the great end of civil
government.
That principle Of self preserve
ton, being duly planted by the God of
Nature in every human breast. 1t Is
necessary, not only to the well-being
OF the individual, but also to the order
OF the universe, as attraction and CO.
heSion are to the preservation of ma
terial bodies and the order OF the
natural world.
THAT voluntary remuneration of
any power or privileges included In
or necessarily connected with a princi-
pie Of self preservation is manifestly
acting counter to the will Of the great
Author of Nature, the Supreme Legis-
iator, that right to liberty and prop
erty Is absolutely inalienable.
That the claim of the parliament of
Great Britain to the power of legisla-
non for the colonies In all cases what
Soeyer is abhorrent to the spirit and
genius of The British Constitution, to
the letter of our charter and to the
most obvious principles of reason and
10 the essential natural rights given
Us by God Almighty; and, finally,
That the Introduction of standing
armies In free country in time of
pence, without the consent of the peo-
PIE Is violation of their rights as
free men,"

people OF Hanna's Town. May 16, 1775.

 Regarding perpetual care for cem- etery lots it is worthy of record that Miss Ellen Young was the first lot- holder to make the offering. She gave $200, as the gift of her sister, Mrs. Louise Morse, Lot 165. MT. Daniel Sullivan, Lot 137, also gave $2OO. The usual fee is only s10O. MT. Michael w.

Last "lndiao King"

Northerners know of wheat kings, merchant princes and timber barons, hut indigo king" a familiar title in the south, has for us an exotic ring, saws the New York Evening Post. The last of the old time indigo kings passes with the death in July of James Surgpt at Natchez, Miss. In 17S2 Pierre Surget obtained a plantation in that region by Spanish grant and planted indigo, which was being grown extensively in Louisiana at that time and found a ready market. The Surget fortune was soon made. and many years afterward the little town of Cherry Grove came into existence on corner of the plantatiOn. The last indigo king scorned automobiles and ,elpphonqS. He was breeder of thor oughbreds and devOtee of racing who never bet dollar.

Historical Notes on St. Edwards Parish
Stafford Springs, Conn. ;, .ls4e to 1921
 By FELIX ]. DWELL

From the official "History of The Diocese of Hartford" by Rev James H. O'Donnell, we learn that the first Catholic settlers to arrive in Stafford were Steven Jackson. Jeremiah O'Brien, Thomas Hassett, Timothy Desmond, Daniel Hurley, William Tracy and their families. They came in 1S49. Their first assembly for pub tic worship took place in November of the same year, when the Rev. Luke | Daley, a pioneer missionary of Con- necticut, offered the holy sacrifice for the first time in Stafford. His second visit for the same purpose occurred on March 2, 1850.
 In 1851 the little colony of Catho- lies was increased by the arrival of Steven Collins. William D. Brennan, William I. Brennan, Peter Murphy, Thomas Warren, John Stewart, John Swanton and their families. In the same year the Rev. Michael McCabe visited Stafford as frequently as his arduous journeys permitted, to preach the gospel and administer the Sacra- ments to this nucleus of future l parish In 1853 the Rev. Father Smyth of Windsor Locks began to | lake quarterly visits to Stafford, which he continued for two years. He was succeeded by the Rev Peter Egan of Rockville, who also served | the place for two years, increasing the visits to one every second week. Father Eagan preached and celebrated mass in Oronoco hall. Previous to this, the Catholics had held their meetings for Divine worship in pri- | vate dwellings and in the public school-house. For six years after wards the Rev. Bernard Fully ofici- ated at the same hall every second week, as did also his successor, the Rev H. J. O'Reilly, for one year and seven months. During the last named years Stafford was a mission of Rock vilIe
 When Rev. Florimond DeBruycker became pastor of Willimantic (May II, 1863), the mission of Stafford Springs was assigned to him, in ad- dition to the missions. of Baltic and Coventry. It was he who first or ganized the Catholics of Stafford into corporation according to the laws of the state of Connecticut, the certifi- cate of formation bearing the date Sept 3, 1869. The first lay trustees were William Brennan and John Brosnan. The first meeting of the congregation recorded on the parish Looks, for the election of trustees, took place on May 16, 1869. The chairman of that meeting was an assistant at the time to Father De- Bruycker, and is now missionary in Pretoria, South Africa. He is the Rev. Joseph VanLaars the first pastor of Baltic, which place he left to be come missionary
 Prior to Father DeBruycker's pas torate the parish registers were kept in Rockville. The baptismal register of St. Edwards opens with the date Oct. 23, 1864, on which day Francis Patrick Cooney and James O'Donnell were baptised. The first marriage was performed Feb. 19, 1865, when Tlesphore Bertrand and Catherine Brousseau were made happy.

In October, 1866, Father DeBruyck- CT began the erection of the first Catholic house of worship in Stafford. The site was purchased of Lewis Park ess for $1OO. The original structure was of stone, and rather rudely cut and laid, as a glance at the old facade. between the new towers easily. dis closes. Cornelius Flaherty contributed the stone from his local quarry.
 The old building had a seating capacity for 400 persons. Remodel ed as it now stands it accommodates 500. About one year later, Novem- Der 24. 1867. the proposed house of God was so far completed that the holy mysteries were celebrated within it's walls, and on the 10th day of March following, the new structure was formally dedicated to divine wor- ship, under the patronage of St. Ed ward, The parish comprised at that time about 250 souls.
 Catholics were not the only contri- butors toward the building of their house of prayer. Here is a list of do- nations from members Of other faiths

"CIRL FROM OUTSIDE"
 LAST TIME TONIGHT
 AT EMPRESS THEATER

Rex Beach's' big story of the north, 'The Girl From the Outside" proved itself winner last night at the Elm press; proved to be all and more than had been claimed for it; proved to be one of those pictures that stand out in the memory of all who see it, as a classic of the screen.
 A Rex Beach story is the promise Of thrills-but he is too fine crafts man to carry situation to extremes or insert fight or powerful scene where the telling of the story does not demand. In portraying "The Girl From Ouside," this eminent author told of Alaska in beautifully normal way. He has depicted scenes and in cidents just as they occurred to him through actual rubbing of shoulders with his characters. He spent several years of his life in Nome, on the beach, and among his living types. In other words, he has lived the story, and has produced a beautifully DOW erful picture in just the manner he lived it.
 It is a vividly absorbing production of the northland that no Alaskan should miss Showing tonight for the last time. An interesting number of tho Pathe News completes the pro- gram.
 For tomorrow night, an all-comedy program has been arranged: Alice Brady in whimsical farce, "The In- destructible Wife," and a two reel comedy that offers something new and unique, Uneasy Feet"

POOR LEAD TO OBTAIN SPLIT
Attempt to Arouse Indignation Over
~Horror on the Rhine" Proves
Dismal Failure.

sThe Germanophile attempt to
arouse American indignation over the
horror on the Rhine and thereby to
lead to a split, splrlbaal rather than
diplomatic, between America and her
recent allies has failed Of Its purpose
III precisely the same way that Ger
nan Propaganda In this country failed
In every one of the years between
1914 and 1918" says an editorial in
the American Legion Weekly.
'sThe truth is merely that the Ger
mans do not know how to go about
It. sKultur' obviously does not include
any knowledge of the fine art of get
ting something over, fact amply at
tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The
Won Mach style Of responsiveness is
no more subtle than the efforts of a
st. Bernard puppy to stand up on a
hardwood floor. 1t is fattering the
Won Mach type Of boring from within
to call its insldious. Insldlous it is,
however, In its intent II not in its ap-
plication.
"Dr. Won Mach has proved himself
a poor servant Of his country, wheth-
er he regards his country as America
or Germany. He is a poor American
for having tried to win America over
to the point of view of the unrepen-
tant nation to defeat whose govern
ment 100000 Americans gave their
lives, for attempting to resurrect a
hyphen that was theoretically buried
just three years ago. He is poor
German because his clumsiness has
served only to arouse America to the
fact that she is still at war with Ger
many"
