Gave Liberty
Her Passports

When, in the course of human
events, 1t became necessary for man
kind to have a broader basis for ita
rights, a firmer foundation for its
liberties than 1t ever had enjoyed be-
fore, Thomas Jefferson wrote the
Declaration of Independence.
Much pedantic learning has been
spent to prove that the Declaration is
an unwise political document. From
the viewpoint of special privilege and
hidebound toryism, no proof Is needed
any assertion of freedom Is unwise
From the viewpoint Of struggling,
striving humanity, the Declaration Of
Independence Is one of the greatest
and wisest documents ever penned.
1t is a call to freedom for its own
sake; to freedom as right, not as O
privilege. Before that time. men had
talked much of liberties and little Of
liberty. They had based their claims
on charters won from a reluctant king,
and the gains thus made were the
peculiar property of those who made
them, and of their heirs and assigns.
The gentleman of England had in
herited one set of rights and liberties,
the commoner of the same country an
other and smaller set, the burgher Of
Switzerland third, and so on. There
was no common basis, no unity Of out
look, until Jefferson proclaimed and
the Continental congress indorsed the
bold declaration that men have right
to freedom because they are men. and
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
Jefferson gave Liberty her passports
and started her round the world. The
Declaration of independence, rather
than the Constitution, Is Americas
great contribution to the age Of re-
publics.
Adopted Ideas Of Others.
Thomas Jefferson never laid claim
to originality In framing the Declare
tion Of Independence. What he wrote
had been written by others. and the
sentiments he expressed were those
which were on the tongue OF nearly
every thinking man and woman. Jeffer-
son realized that he was the medium
of expression for the people. On the
contrary, he himself says: II did not
consider 1t any part of my charge to
invent new Ideas altogether. and to
offer no sentiment which had ever
been expressed before"
