Gave Liberty
Her Passports

When, In the course of human
events, 1t became necessary for man
kind to have broader basis for Its
rights, a firmer foundation for, It's
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 a
privilege. Before that time, men had
talked much of liberties 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 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 Endorsed the
bold declaration that men have a right
to freedom because they are men, and

Jefferson's Foresight.
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 coll

than does that of Thomas Jefferson.
1t ought to be matter Of vast i'm
port to the hundred million of our In
habitants that the first person upon
the western hemisphere who had cour-
age and possessed the wisdom to es-
tablish the. first nonsectarian college
In North America was Thomas Jeffer-
son. 1t 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 America-every one
of which is now worth billions of dol
lars.
But, while that was an act of great
wisdom, subsequent events proved 1t
to be almost divine, since by that act
that vast domain became part of our

PLENTY or COAL IN
STATE, is EXPERTS CLAIM
Fields Are Practically undevelcped.
Despite Strike Situation Is Good.


Nashville. -Tennessee's coal fields
are practically undeveloped as yet, ac-
cording to the statement of O. P.
Pile, chief mine inspector of the state.
The ground has scarcely been scraped
and the state has one of the greatest
undevelcped properties in this coun.
try, he says.
Despite the prevailing miners
strike, Tennessee's mining situation
is altogether good, considered from
every angle and especially when com.
pared with the conditions existing In
other coal ming states.
There is one thing that should be
better known with respect to the coal
fields in Tennessee" says Inspector
Pile. "These fields are as yet practi-
eally undeveloped. Take the New
River coal field for instance. 1t is
in the infancy of its development, and
| regard 1t as one of the greatest I'm.
developed properties in this country
1t covers practically three counties

veins of coal ranging in thickness
from approximately 80 inches to so in.
ches. The elevations range from 1000
to $500 feet. The great Coal Creek,
Dean, Brushy Mountain, Fork Noun
tain, Jellico, Blue Gem, Paint Rock and
other collieries are operated. These
veins are practically continuous, ex
cept where occasionally the river has
broken the seams. But this New River
district is not the only undeveloped
coal field in the upped part of the
state. Undeyeloped coal properties
are found in Overton, Fentress, Clai.
borne, Grundy, Cumberland, Rhea and
adjacent territority. Some of these
counties ar supposed to be rich also In
oil, particularly Fentress and Overton,
and the adjacent to them. Altogether
our undeveloped resources have been
woefully neglected, at least they have
not been more than barley scratched.
Recently | have had some foreign
inquiries about there propeties, indica.
ting that outside capital is becoming
interested in our natural resources"

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-
publles.
Adopted Ideas Of Others.
Thomas Jefferson never laid claim
to originality In framing the Declare
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: Il did NOT
consider it any part of my charge to
invent new ldeas altogether, and to
offer no sentiment which had ever
been expressed before
The committee treated the work Of
their chairman kindly. and the first
draft Of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, now In the possession 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.. JEFF
ferson carefully placed their names

INDUSTRY IN JAPAN
SHOWS SOME PROGRESS

SHOWS SOME PROGRESS
Toxic, June 29-Mr. Kentario Arai,
the new minister of agriculture and
commerce to whom the people of ia
pan are looking to devise measures
for lifting the business depression, in
an interview pointed out that the gov
ernment could do little unless it acted
by refusing to pay the high prices now
asked by the retailers. "In order to
develop industry and foreign trade" "
he said, "prices of commodities must
be reduced"
"If the cost production of raw ma
terials is high, industry will not de-
velop properly and the prices Of man
ufactured articles will become high,
which in turn will cause depression
in trades"
The diputes between tenant farmers
and landlords which increased four
fold last year, and the shift OF the
population from the land to the cities
were among reasons given by MP
Arai for the depression and for pesss-
imism regarding the future of agrl-
culture. In Korea he pointed out the
situation is even more serious.
