GAVE LIBERTY HER PASSPORTS.

When, in the course of human events, 1t be- came necessary for mankind to have broader basis for it's rights a firmer foundation for It's rights firmer foundation for It's liberties than it ever had enjoyed before. Thomas Jet- ferson wrote the Declaration of Independence
 Much padantic learning has been spent to prove that the Declaration is an unwise poll tical document. From the viewpoint of special nrivilece and hidebound toryism, no proof IS needed-anv assertion of freedom is unwlse. From the viewpoint of struggling, striving hu- manitv, the Declaration of Independence is one of the greatest and wisest documents ever penned
 It is a call to freedom for its own sake; to freedom as a right, not as a privilege. Before that time, men had talked much of llbertles and little of liberty They had based their claims on charters won from reluctant king, and the gains thus made were the peculiar property of those who made them, and of thelr heirs and assigns. The gentleman of England had inherited one set of rights and liberties, the commoner of the same country another and smaller set, the burgher of Switzerland third, and so on There was no common basis, no unity of outlook, 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 ot the governor.
 Jefferson gave Liberty her passports and started the world. The Declaration of lnde- pendence, rather than the Constitution, IS America great contribution to the age of re- pubics.
 Thomas Jefferson never laid claim to orig inaity in fraiming the Declaratin of Independ- ence 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 Jefferson realized that he Was the medium of expression for the people. On the contrary. he himself says: :'I did not consider it any part of my charge to invent new ideas altogether, and to offer no sentiment which had ever been ex pressed before."

Declaration of Independence, now in the posses sion of the state department at Washington shows that only Adams and Franklin made any alterations on the paper, and that these are only of expression. These changes were written in by the men who suggested them, and Mr. Jefferson carefully placed their names upon the side of the document all of which IS clearly evident by comparison of the penman- ship upon the paper.
 Jefferson then copied 1t once more, but care fully preserved his first draft, now one of the most precious papers in the archives of thls government. "His fair copy'' was presented on June 2S to congress which during the days of his withdrawal had been working rapidly toward unanimity of sentiment for independ- ence.
 No personality connected with the history of what is now acknowledged to be the foremost nation on the globe stands out more boldly in all her colonial and earlier events and affairs than does that of Thomas Jefferson. It ought to be a matter of vast import to the hundred million of our inhabitants that the first person upon the western hemisphere who had coul- age and possessed the wisdom to establish the first nonsectarian college in North America was Thomas Jefferson. It was the superior wisdom and foresight of President Jefferson that advised the purchase of what was then known as the Louisiana territory, which, when carved into states of the union, now number fourteen-very empires reaching from the Gulf of Mexico to British Columbia-every one worth billions of dollars
 But, while that was an act of great wis doni, subsequent events proved 1t to be almost divine, since by that act that vast domain be- came part of our republic, whereas, had 1t not been purchased, after Waterloo and the downfall of the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte t would have fallen into the hands of the Brit ish empire, together with that vast domain ly- ing westward reaching to the Pacific ocean, which is now also, in consequence of Jeffer- sons wsdom, part of our republc. But tor that wise act our nation would have been re. stricted to the domain east of the Mlsslsslppl river.
 'Iet us then with courage and confidence pursue our own federal and republican prlncl- ples, our attachment to union and representa- Rive government Kindly separated by nature and wide ocean from the eXterminatlng havoc of one quarter of the globe, too h1gh- minded to endure the degradations of the others possessing chosen country with room enough for our descendants to the hmdredth and thousandth generation enlightened by benign religion, professed, indeed and pSac, ticed in various forms yet all inculcating in honesty, truth, temperance, gratitude and the
 love of man and acknowledging and adoring an overriding Providence-with. all these things, what more is necessary to make us happy and prosperous people? ?'-Thomas Jef- fersOn.

Clancy Has Chance to Win
1902 Pound Title from Wop'
Fight Between Baltimore Knockout King and
Dundee at Laurel, July 4, Is Champ
ionship Affair.
BY RAY HELGEsEN.

Few boxing fans realize that the,
bout between George Knockout"
CLANCY, Baltimore'a soutnpaw fash,
and Johnnie Dundee, the Scotch
wop" and present holder of the
junior lightweight title and belts
which is to be staged at the Laurel
race track July 4, will be a real
championship affair.
But the fact of the matter is that
one punch. one of Chaney's famous
sleep-producing left hooks or one
of his less advertised overland
rights. will make him the junior
lightweight champion OF the world
and will bring to him and his man.
ager, Sammy Harris. a fortune pro-
viding Dundee Is dropped for the
count. Furthermore II CLANCY is
able to get the decision in twelve
rounds the title will automatically
pass from the curly-locked brow Of
Dundee to rest on his own, the
proper place for It, according to
the wrinkled little, diamond be-
decked Sammy Harris.
Harris Explains Things.
Harris dropped in last night to
explain" few things regarding
his boys chances of taking Dun
dee. Sammy explained" that re-
gardless of what Dundee weighs in
at Clancy will tip the scale at less
than the recognized junior light
weight limit. 1870 pounds.
I'VE don't care IL Dundee weighs
ton when he enters the ring"
murmured Sammy. "Chaney will
scale less than 130 and IL he doesn't
slip his left past the Wop's guard
for a knockut I'll be the most sur
prised man within a thousand miles
of the ring. As a matter of fact
CLANCY really took the title from
Dundee at Madison Square Garden
last fall. But Dundee claimed my
boy had fouled him and brought
out dented cup to prove 1t. That
really proves nothing. He could
have been wearing a cup that he
had worn in any number of pre-
vious fights. CLANCY certainly
never hit him below the belt, even
though Johnnie was wearing one
six inches above the waistline.
Critics at the ringside, including
Bob Edgren, said they had seen no
low blow and added that 1t would
tdhc a haiNS puhSii IMAM JuniOE
lightweight, could deliver to dent
one Of the protectors which the
Wop was wearing"
Edgren's Version Of "Foul.-
Here's what Robert Edgren had
to say about the fight which Cha
ney lost in the eighth round on a
foul after having outpointed the
champion throughout the early 60
ing:
Saw a funny one the other
night when Dundee and Clancy
met. Dundee outboxed CLANCY
and had the best of the bout un-
til CLANCY began walking in
straight up, without block or
guard. careless of any punch
Johnny could deliver. driving
heavy blows into Dundee's body.
Dundee wilted quickly under the
punishment, and claimed a foul.
A moment later someone exhib-
tied a dented cup to prove his
claim.
That dented cup thing Is a
joke. I doubt that any blow de-
