which, when carved into states of the
Union, now number fOurteen-very
empires, reaching from the Gulf of
Mexico to British America-every one
of which is now worth billions of dol
lars.
But, while that was an act of great
wisdom, subsequent events proved it
to be almost divine, since by that act
that vast domain became part of our
republic, whereas. had it not been pur-
chased, after Waterloo and the down
fall Of the emperor Napoleon Bona
parte, it would have fallen into the
hands of the British empire, together
with that vast domain lying westward
reaching to the Pacific ocean, which
is now also, in consequence of Jeffer-
sons wisdom, a part Of our republic.
But for that wise act our nation would
have been restricted to the domain

Lafayette's visit to America ended
in rainbow tints, even as it had be-
gun. Next, we may see him talking
with Louis Philippe 1:

Final Glorious Vision.
Finally, in 1884, came a gray dawn.
Lafayette knew his great achievement
was in America; but he also knew he
had aided in the betterment of the
masses of his native land. AS this
hushed morn, he grew drowsy, after
a night of pain, none of the watchers
could see or hear what he undoubted-
ly saw and heard:
He saw himself mounted on a white
charger, CALAMITY facing the foe He
saw Washington coming for him on
another noble steed. He saw his wife's

Lafayette visited America for the
last time in 1924. From the hour in
which his advent was heralded by a
rainbow enveloping and tinging Fort
Lafayette, just across the Narrows,
until he set sail for his native land,
he was feted and Honized. All the
church bells of New York shouted;
New Hayenites forgot their puritan
zeal primness and joined Justify New,

bell had been given Trinity church by
an English queen and set it ringing

the Old South assured him of their
welcome; while Kings chapel outdid
them all. The Harvard college bells
already old, were not remiss.
The Ovations continued throughout
the South. Entering Charleston, pre-
coded by a troop mounted on white
horses, Lafayette rode with his son,
George Washington Lafayette, and the
same little boy, now Major Huger, who
played with his French sword and at
tempted to rescue him at Olmutz Per
haps Lafayette never had a happier
moment than, thus riding, he heard
st. Michaels' bells once more. His
Charleston friends may have told him
of the sad days when Major Traille of
the Royal artillery claimed those same
bells as his perquisites when the Brit
ish had entered the city; and of the
anxieties experienced until, through
the good offices of London friends,
they were returned to their tower.

bells carried by Father Marquette in
the Northwest; by De Smet in the

And why these banners gay?
What are these things denoting2

Why do our hearts rejoice?
What means the children's singing,

Why all this glorious srOuting

Gave Liberty
Her Passports

When, in the course of human
events, it became necessary for man
kind to have broader basis for Its
rights, firmer foundation for its
liberties than it 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
htdebOund 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 a right, not as a
privilege. Before that time. men had
talked much of liberties and little of
liberty. They had based their claims
on charters won from q reluctant king.
and the gains thus made were the
peculiar property of those who made
bllCiLJ anu VI llItll IltllS anu dSSlSuS.
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 a 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 a 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 Declara-
ton 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: 81 did not
consider it any part of my charge to
invent new ideas altogether, and to
offer no sentiment which had ever
been expressed before"
