should be made on his part He accordingly
took the minutes and In day or two produced
to me his draft"
jefferson, writing In 1923 tells slightly differ
ent story. He says that-the entire committee
urged him to make the draft he showed It first
to Franklin and Adams, who. 10 their handwriting,
made few minor alterations. This original draft
was given by Jefferson to Richard Henry Lee,
the dean Of the Virginia delegation. and In 1925
his grandson presented 1t TO the American
Philosophical Society Of Philadelphia.
Making another copy, which Incorporated the
suggested changes, Jefferson presented 1t TO the
committee which reported II unchanged to the
congress. On July 1, 1776 Philadelphia buxzed
with excitement for here was TO be taken the
most important step in a long series Of disputes
with the mother country.
The original resolutions Of Richard Henry Lee
came before the body as a committee OF the
whole They were approved By two-thirds vote,
Delaware, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina being
on the negative side. The New York delegates.
having received no INSTRUCTIONS, were unable TO
vote.
when the formal vote OF congress was taken
the next day, the resolutions were approved by
twelve colones--alI except New York. Thus on
July 2. 1T7o, the original colonies became the
United States Of America.
The next two days were spent IN discussing
the draft Of the declaration as drawn by Jeffer-
son. The debate was lively, but when II was
over. the draft was adopted with very few
changes OF the twenty-eight specific charges
brought against George III, only one was deleted
That was the one accusing the king OF "piratical
warfare" in permitting the capture and ensIave
ment OF human beings. This was not a just
charge for the slave trade had been carried on
tonk before the reign OF George III. One other
paragraph near the close, was omitted Besides
these. barely twenty lines were stricken out, and
NOT q single addition OF fact was made.
The Declaration pf Independence was then
unanimously adopted BY the twelve colonies
whose delegates were Instructed to vote in its
favor. on July e. 1778. which hehceforth be-
came the recognized birthday Of the new nation.
On IuIy word arrived at the headquarters Of
c4orge washington IN New York that the Decla- |
ration had been ratified and II was at once read
n the soldiers and citizens On the same day

That II IL expedient forthwith to take the most
efectual measures for forming foreign alliances:
That plan Of confederation be prepared and
transmitted 20 the respective Colonies for their
consideration and appreciation.
Here was a pure Declaration OF Independence,
proposed by one of the most eminent men Of the
most influential colonies at that time, and
promptly seconded by John Adams Of Massachu-
setts.
The next day congress went into a committee
Of the whole 80 consider the resolutions. Dele
gates from Pennsylvania, New York and one or
two other colonies, objected on the ground that
the Middle colonies were not yet ready for so
radical a STEP although personally expressing q
friendly attitude.
Congress realized that unanimous action by all
the colonies on a question Of such moment was
OF supreme Importance. Several delegates had
not been instructed TO 20 so far as voting for
Independence. New York and New Jersey being
among them. The majority had been authorized
to take any action that might be considered wise
Virginia. the other hand had gone 90 far az
actually TO instruct her delegates to propose a
declaration TO congress. Richard Henry Lee was
simply obeying his legislature when he presented
his resolutions
On June 10, congress postponed final consid
Grafton for three weeks. and on the following
day appointed committee Of five to draw up
a declaration Lee surely would have been
on this committee had he not in the meaRtime
been called home at the illness OF his wife But
for that the virgfnian might have been the author
OF the Declaration OF Independence, instead Of
HIS younger Virginia colleague. Thomas Jefferson,
then but thirty-three years old
Coming to congress with q reputation of WELD
ing faciIe pen, Jefferson In the baIoting for the
committee received majority OF votes and be-
came ifs chairman. The others were BENJAMIN
Franklin Of Pennsylvania, John Adams Of Massa-
chusetts, Roger Shermnn OF Connecticut and
Robert r. Livingston OF New York
Stories differ to how Jefferson came TO BE-
selected TO write "fhe one American state paper~
as has been said. "that has reached TO the
supreme distinction In the world and that seems
likely to last long as American civilization
enduresa 0ne account is given By John Adaua

Stars and Stripes and the nag OF
Great Britain are intertwined In bond Of friend
ship. Let Us go back and review the SITUATION
a century and half ago.
Prior to the revolutionary struggle. the senti-
ment In the colonies for more than ten years
from the time Of the original Stamp act troubles
was opposed to severance OF relations with Great
Britain. Even such memorable events as Paul
Revere's ride and the battle Of Lexington and
Concord In April, 1775 had failed to arouse any
widespread determination for independence In
July 1T7B the same Continental congress which
had appointed Washington commander In chief VI
the army. drew up a declaration Of the causes
for taking up arms in which Il was said: I'VE
mean not to dissolve that union which has 20
Iopg and so happily subsisted between us and
which we sincerely wish to see restored"
Thomas Jefferson. the author Of the Declara-
ton OF Independence, himself wrote two months
after the battle OF Bunker hill that he was
'7oohing with fondnesB toward reconciliation
with Great Britain"
Historians point out that the colonists were
the conservatives and George III and the Engiiah
parliament were the radicals In starting the
American Revolution Such men as Benjamin
Franklin Samuel and John Adams. and Patrick
Henry had felt for long time that break was
inevitable. The declaration OF the citizens OF
MeckIenbury county. N. O., was one Of the local
events Indicating the trend Of public opinion
toward independence. Not until the appearance
Of Thomas Paine's stirring pamphlet Common
Sense" however, early In January, 1776. was
there any apprecIabIe public sentiment In its
favor
This pamphlet, despite It's faulty logic. ex-
planned the situation to the people as none
OF the more eminent political writer's had done.
II avoided constitutional technicaIities and In
the plain language OF the day presented the facts
so that ali could understand
Paine suddenly found himself transformed from
obscurity to fame Ths Pennsylvania legislature

THE YOUTH OF AMERICA

Dr. Daniel A. Polling, President of the
Christian Endeavor Society of the United
States, at great mass meeting at Atlanta,
Georgia, recently said:
I stand here as the representative of
more than 100000 young men and
young women in more than $1,000
Christian Endeavor societies who are
practically unanimous in their support
of national prohibition, and in their OPP
position to any modification of the Vol
stead Act that shall not strengthen both
the principle and practice of prohibition.
| challenge the insinuaton, and brand as
false, the charge that prohibition has cor
rupted American youth. I have seen
drinking from hip-pocket TASKS in public
places. I have dealt personally with
some niserably sad cases of juvenile
delinquency, in which booze figured, but
God pity the man who would on such
foundation, build a general indictment
OF the young people"

WHAT THEY SAY

Dr. Richard {. Cabot of Boston: THE
question is being raised by the opponents
OF prohibitions: Does not mild low-per-
centage beer give us the way out OF our
difficulties by supplying refreshing drink
that is not intoxicating? The answer is
no!
Anyone who knows anything about
the habits OF men has seen many get
drunk on beer that contains ) or 4 per
cent alcohol. The reason for this is sim
ply that considerable proportion OF men
drink beer not because they are thirsty or
because they like it particularly, but be-
cause they want to produce certain sem
sation Of exhilaration and forgetfulness."
The whole point of beer or of any other
alcoholic drink is the alcohol it contains.
not its taste or its thirst-quenching prop
critics.
