Gov. Roosevelt Sounds Democratic
Call In The West.

governor franklin D. Roosevelt. of Nev
iork sounded the initial call to the Demo
ctats Oh the West for the campaign to cleo
democratic Congress next year in ar
address, at Democratic luncheon II
Cnicago last week at which 200 Demo
cratic State and city leaders were present
Onalrman Jouett Shouse, of the Democratic
National Executive Committee, was presen,
ana also made an address which aroused
another display Of enthusiasm.
Governor Roosevelt stressed as one OF
the problems the inequalities that have
increased SO rapidly between the indus.
trialist and the sericulturist. After de.
scfio'ne the operations of industry in what
ne called this Machine Age" he con-
tinued
Inc farmer was subjected to no such
possibilities Of mass production. He was
and always must be an individual. He
cannot be exploited or bonded or united
IN stock companies. or be made the object
OF this new craze for consolidation and
combination. Now we realize that this
matter must be attended to IL we are to
20 forward safely. 1t is the first Of our
problems.
nave those in control solved il or at
tempted to solve il 7 Have the events of
the last year given us any announcement
'nat under the present leadership, so ex-
cinsively industrial in the way of thinking.
tnere Is any hope that they will solve ii 2
II cannot be answered by mere money
lending organization"
The New York Governor named as the
second problem THE almost miraculous
extension Of these great combinations of
industries. particularly public utilities.
Too much we have placed them in
positions Of almost unlimited power" he
said. I'VE must see to it that they are at
all times under such control of government
as will prevent them from becoming
rrankensteins of our own creation"
Referring to the pending tariff bill, Gov
Roosevelt said:
III we have been saved the imposition BY
TINS last Iamentable session Of Congress of
tariH which has been denounced BY
almost every paper in the country, it has
been because handful of liberals in the
republican party itself has turned TO the
Democratic party in Congress- in its des-
perate hour Of need. and am proud that
my party has lived up to its traditions and
that' working side by side. regardless of
mere party lines. this great iniquity has
been prevented
Both Governor Roosevelt and Chairman
Shouse forecast a Democratic victory in
the Congressional election next year.

The Signing Of the Declaratiou Of
independence Approximately 153 Years
Ago IN the old State House at
Philadelphia.

The Declaration OF Independence has met
with many yicissitudes and has been wander
eg in many States. Its first removal from Phua-
delphia, It's birthplace, was to Baltimore This
was oecasioned by the advance Of the British
upon Philadelphia In I77T 1t was taken back
to Philadelphia, but thereafter. the ac-
tivities OF the British caused its removal 20
York, Pa. On its return it remained i'm Phila-
dslphia for five years. but was again moved.
this time to Princeton, N. j.. when Congress
adjourned there.
In 1900 it was brought to washington Dur
ing the War of 1912 it was taken TO Leesburg
Va, for safety After the burning of the Capitol
end White House in 1914 1t was brought back
10 Washington and deposited in the Patent
Once, where it remained until it was taken to
the centennial at Philadelphia i'm 1876 After
Its return to Washington it was placed In the
State Department. There it remained until
September 30, 1921. when President Harding at
the suggestion Of Secretary Hughes affixed his
signature TO an order transferring it, together
with the Constitution Of the United States
from the State Department to the Library of
Congress, which was considered the proper
place for both documents For nearly three
years they remained there. In light-proof safe
until an appropriation by Congress made pos
sible beautiful marble shrine which was es-
pecially designed to express the dignity and
honor in which these fundamental documents
OF the Nation were held
The shrine, which was designed by Francis
H Bacon brother of Henry Bacon architect of
the Lincoln Memorial erected i'm the liz
bFary Of Congress. Double sheets of plate glass;
with specially prepared gluten sheets between
the two plates to exclude the actinic rays of
light and prevent further fading. were made
ready and on February 20, 1924. in the pres
ence Of President Coolidge, the Secretary of
State and representative group of Congress-
installation services took place. At these sery-
ices there was not single utterance save the
singing of two stanzas of America" i'm which
the entire company Of onlOokers joined. Thou
sands from all parts of the country have passed
this shrine and looked upon these precious doc
unents Of the United States OF America with
mingled emotions and reverence
The celebration OF the natal day of the
United States has assumed many and varied
forms At the time of the signing Of the Dec
laration Of independence, John Adams wrote:

was received by residents for salaries and the
like. and the use of the few improved streets
made so by Congress strictly for its own use
and benefit.
WITH Alexandria, the breaking point came
w in l846. after it had become completely
showed under with debt due to its investments
in its end of the canal. This was in part due TO
an error--for which Alexandria was not entirely
to blame--in estimating FOR the erection of the
Aqueduct Bridge, which was originally to have
been constructed of wooden piers at cost Of
100000 the change to masonry adding $780,,
600 more
1t Is said that Congress encouraged this grand
scheme, which was to pour the golden results of
the Western trade into District Golfers, but
which was not completed, so far as Alexandria
was concerned, for IL years. and after much dafh-
cult engineering work. not paralleled in this
country. and, up to that time, probably not
equaled in any other
The Alexandria portion of the canal Was
completed in December, 1843, but owing to
work being stopped ON the canal near Cumber-
land the money invested by Alexandria was
unproducive. and aS Congress had already con-
tributed 10 the enterprise and as no further
assistance was forthcoming from that source,
aid was sought from the Legislature of Virginia,
and there Alexandria met with q warm well
come, resulting In an appeal to that State for
its readmissiOn. This Virginia agreed to, and
Congress passed law restoring Alexandria
County to Virginia. The population OF Alexan-
dria IN 1870 was 8,45S and the vote on re-
PROCESSION was 763 for and 222 against And
so YOU see, IL the Federal Government had
treated Alexandria with just little bit more
consideration. the chances are there never
would have been any retrocessi0n OF that county
to Virginia.
The earliest move for retrocessiOn and which
included the entire District. was made by Rep
resentative John Bacon Of Massachusetts,. in
1903 The resolutions which were offered to
accomplish this purpose. were defeated by a
vote of 66 to 26. Georgetown took the question
up in 1919, bus the people voted against 1t.
However seven years later. retFocession was car
ried by one vote, and in l840, the matter went
far as 10 urge the Maryland Legislature to
permit the return of Georgetown to that State,
but through no fault of Georgetown the State
Legislature tabled the proposition.
THE Aqueduct Bridge caused almost as
much trouble as it did Alexandria, fcE
every once and awhile the piers had TO be
strengthened TO keep the bridge from floating
down the river. regardless of the fact that in
many ways it was remarkable structure when
it was built, and was considered at that time
rather remarkable engineering triumph
An interesting description of the piers then
being built to carry the canal over the Potomac
is given in old Washington newspaper of
Evening star., 1929-06-30

~E most dramatic incident In the history
OF America took place approximately
one hundred and hfty-three years ago
Il within the old State House at Philadel-
phia. On July 4, 1776, q group of men
representing the American people had assem-
bled to take final action upon the Declaration
OF Independence. Outside, the streets were
thronged with those awaiting news of the ac-
tion OF Congress. While up in the beifry waited
the old gray-haired bellman ready TO proclaim
abroad the news of freedom from British rule,
as soon as the final vote was taken.
BY the side Of the old belmau stood little
bright-eyed boy whom he lifted i'm his arms and
kissed. He told this boy to 60 below and the
instant word given out that the final vote
had been given. to give the signal that he might
peal forth the joyful news
1t was expected that the final vote would be
taken at once. but hours passed and no report
came from the gathered in conference.
Alarming rlmoEs ran about the streets to the
effect that those inside were plotting in secret
to set up q monarchy to make the second son
of George III King OF the United States. The
old bellnian leaned over the belfry side, his
heart heavy. He feared the little fellow had
forgotten his instructions. Finally, the door of
tine han opened and q voice said. 1T has
passed"
Immediately from out of the crowd came the
shrill. high-pitched voice of the child, "Ringl
Ringi" The old bellman, electrified into life by
the news, Seized the iron tongue OF the bell
and hurled it back and forth with clang that
stirred like the call Of bugle the heartbeats
of all those who heard it, The bell was heralding
the motto which had been engraved around it
when brought from England more than twenty
years ago Proclaim liberty throughout all the
land, unto all the inhabitants thereof" AL
though the changing of the bell had sounded
over the city many times, the proclamation en-
grayed thereon had never been spoken aloud.
THAT old State House bell is silent
flushed is now its clamorous tongue;
But the spirit 10 awakened
Stin Is living-ever young
And when greet the smiling sunlight
On the Fourth of each July
We will ne'er forget the belIman
Who, betwixt the earth and sky,
Rang out loudly Independence
Which, please God, shall never die"
The Declaration of Independence stands to
day one OF the most remarkable state papers
In the history of the world. Drafted by Thomas
Jefferson, who was selected from a committee
composed OF Jefferson Adams, Franklin, Sher-
man and Livingston, it was presented to Com
gress under the title: "A Declaration by the
Representatives of the United States IN Com
gress Assembled"
On that memorable July 4. 1TT6 this Declara-
ton was signed by John Hancock President
of Congress. On August 2, l776, by order Of
Congress- an engrossed copy on parchment was
prepared and signed by Delegates from every
enc Of the I3 Colonies.
Evening star., 1929-06-30

II believe that this day win be cele-
brated by succeeding generations as .
great anniversary festival 1t ought to be
tcElmemorated as the day of deliverance
by solemn acts Of devotion to God Al
mighty. It ought to be solemnized with
pomp and parade. with shows, games.
sports, guns, bells bonfires and illunlina-
tons from one end of the continent to
the other, from time forward forever"
For many years thereafter the celebrations
consisted OF meaningless, nerve-racking noises
Yankee ingenuity developed all sorts of noise.
producing devices, until the Fourth Of July be-
came day of pistols, toy cannons and giant
frecrackers.
In 1908 the casualty list of the United states
had reached the appalling total Of $685. Dur
ing the entire War Of the Revolution the Ameri-
can losses were only slightly more than twice
that number In killed wounded and missing
Protests were finally broadcast throughout
many parts Of the country that safe and
sane Fourth should be inaugurated The Dis
trict of Columbia, in 1909 determined to ex-
pertinent In this direction. The celebration Of
the year before had been marked with so many
accidents and fires that local protests against
the indiscriminate use of fireworks were made
The Commissioners Of the District declared
themselves In favor Of q safer and saner' OBJ
servance of the day. Regulations were enacted
forbidding the sale or discharge of fireworks
within the District. Provision was made how
ever, for celebrations. Special permits might be
obtained, defining time. place and storage and
such other considerations to be observed rs
might be deemed necessary for public safety.
President Taft expressed his written approval
OF the new idea. The Commissioners procured
the voluntary and enthusiastic support of the
members OF the Board Of Trade and of the
Chamber of Commerce Public sentiment was
also strongly in favor Of this procedure Two
committees were formed for providing public en-
tertainment. In the morning was the reading OF
the Declaration and appropriate addresses. In
the evening, fine display Of fireworks upon the
ellipSe south OF the White House. Funds for
this were supplied by public subscription. During
the day there was also q floral automobile
parade. prizes being offered for the most beauti-
full and effective decorations.
One very pertinent feature OF the success of
the Districts first celebration of q safe and
