tained marriage license and had the ceremony performed and left to take up his residence again in Brooklyn.
 It was possible for him to obtain his license because of perjury. He is in faet being charged with perjury and big amy and such reports as have been made regarding the case and the Connecticut laws 1t would indicate that more stress IS being placed upon the former charge.
 Nevertheless, in view of the fact that there have been three cases of this kind within a comparatively short \time it is certainly time that it was determined whether the Connecticut bigamy law provides a loophole for bigamists and actually lends itself to the commission of such crime.
 If there is any question about the DOS sibility of getting a conviction under the law as it now reads, and that has been strongly maintained because of the lact that the couples have immediately ieft the state after the ceremony was performed there ought to be no time lost In bringing about change in the law to cover this situation.
 certainly Connecticut had no idea of aiding and abetting bigamy when it adopted it's law. But if such is the case 1t should make the most of the remain ing days of the present legislature to correct the situation and not wait for a test in the courts.

Declaration" to be an oun.

''Meckenburg Declaration" to be an "un- justified quiz"
 In the bitterness of the controversy, it has been too generally overlooked that the authenticity of the resolves of the Slst is unquestioned, and that they breathed little less than a real deelara- tfon of independence.
 The Declaration as reported from memory, and to which exception was taken by Jefferson purports to dissolve the political bands which have connected us to the mother country, and absolve ourselves from allegiance to the British crown, and abiy-e all political connee- tien, contact and association with that nation, to declare that the people of Mecklenburg county are "a free and in dependent people" who "are, and of right ought to be, a sovereign and self governing association, under the con- trol of no power other than that of our God and the general government of the congress" and to establish a revolution ary government for the country.
 The reason that the declaration was considered by some as suspicious, is that it was entirely ignored in and out of congress at time when resolutions coming far short of independence were heralded by every newspaper in the country and from it's inability to ap- peal to any better evidence in support of it than that of dead men. burned pa pers, and a missing letter of approval from the three North Carolina delegates rious Tories.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
THE MEcKLENBURG pEcLARArIo,

THE MECKLENBURG DECLARATION
 It has been strenuously claimed and denied that at a meeting of the peo- pie of Mecklenburg county, in North Carolina, on May 20, IT'S. resolutions were passed declaring their independ- ence of Great Britain.
 The facts in the case appear to be these: On the 31st day of May, 1775 the pc ople of that country did pass reso- lutions quite abreast of the public sen tment of that time, but not ventur- ing. on the field of independency further than to say that these resolu- tions were to remain in force until Great Britain resigned it's intentions.
 These resolutions were well writ ten, attracted notice, and were con jed into the !4ading newspapers of the colonies, north and south, and can be found in various later works A copy of the South Carolina Gazette" con- taining them was sent by Governor Wright, of Georgia. to Lord Dartmouth and was foand by Bancpoft in the State Paper Office, while in the Sharks Manuscripts is the record of a copy sent to the home of the governor by MT. Mar tin, of North Carolina, with a letter dat ed June 30. 1776 Of these resolutions there is no doubt
 In 1793, or earlier some of the ac- tors in the proceedings, apparently ig- norant that the record of these reso- lutlons had been preserved in the news papers, endeavored to supply them from memory, unconsciously intermingling some of the phraseology of the Declara- tion of July 4th in congress which gave them the tone of a proununced inde- pendency.

 "Oh, so are we all" said the girl in the black sweater. You must. every one of you, be extra nice to that little Bunton girl, because we must get her to join us, and they have a gorgeous country house and billions of money"
 "'I wonder whom Tod Beetles will rush this year." unused the girl with the ap- peating eyes. Of course. nothing on earth would make me pay the slightest attention to him, no matter how crazy he was about me, but I'd just like to know. I never really cared a thing about Tod, because he is not at all the type of man to interest me. I think he really is very crude, to put it plainly. And terribly spoiled, because he is so much run after. Why if I ran after a man the way some of the girls do T. I'd"

 These memory resolutions were first printed in the Raliegh 'sRegister,, iii9f of April 30. 1919. They are found :. to re- sem6le in some respects A1e now known resolves of May 31, as well as the na tlonal Declaration in a few phrases.
 In 1929 Martin printed them in his

 The best conjecture to that there was undoubtedly a meeting on the 18th and 20th of May, where discussion was had on the subject of independence and prob ably some more or less explicit under standing arrived at, which become the 31st.
