STORMS VISIT ENGLAND.

LONDON, July % Op.-A series of
thunderstorms which struck various
parts of England during the past 48
hours seemed today to have done very
little toward alleviating the water
shortage, which Is still causing much
anxiety to municipalities and farmers
in most parts of the country.
In isolated districts gardens and fields
received a thorough wetting, but the
thirsty soil rapidly absorbed even the
rail fall and there was no general rise
in streams or in the water levels Of de-
pleted reservoirs.

 AS a literary production it is an admirable piece of work, clear logical, well reasoned, devoid of idle rhetoric. It is undoubtedly these fine literary characteristics which have enabled it to survive the repeated reading and re-reading on patriotic occasions since the year when it was first adopted.
 We can best of all appreciate it's significance. perhaps. by i'm agining how much less of freedom we might have enjoyed if the action which accompanied it, and which it marks, had never been taken or if ;he Revolutionary war which was fought to support it had been failure.

 Address by Rev. Samuel Sutcliffe
 Following Carl s. Neumann's in teresting discussion of the Declara- ton of Independence and the bill of rights, Rev. MT. Sutcliffe spoke brief ly.
 Mentioning his training in patriot ism received in the schools of Massa- chusetts, he told of the thrill he eX- perienced when as youth of IS or r, his family having removed to Philadelphia. he first stood before Independence hall where the Dec laration of Independence was adopt cd, and of the impression made upon him, as he noted on a building on Market street. a bronze tablet, mark ing the site of the house where Jef- ferson wrote the Declaration.

acts and unwarranted and unconsti- tutional usurpations had himself forfeited his kjngship over us. To make this point as strong as possible all direct reference to parliament by name is omitted. Only twice is it referred to indirectly. and then only to deny its Jurisdiction and to upbraid it for its failure to call the king to account in his unjust treat ment of the colonies.
 "The assumption is that the British parliament is the legislature only for Great Britain, as our legis- latures are for us, that our quarrel sole connecting link between the mother country and our own; and since by his own illegal and uncon- stitutional actions he has removed himself from his kingship over us, we are, and of right ought 10 be- as a result of his actions-free and independent states,
 such is the argument of the Declaration. In it's introduction it refers to the higher rights of hu- manity. the right of the governed to change their government if it fails to secure their well being and happiness. It takes the general concession of this right for granted, but it proves the right to separate from the mother couptry by citing a long list of grievances, and finally closes by incorporating the resolu- ton of independence voted two days before, and with the pledge to sup port the action taken. with their lives. their fortunes and their sacred honor.
 The Declaration was well re- ceived abroad, except in England, where no one would expect it to be received with favor: yet even there there were many who sympathized with the colonies. There is no ques- ton that the issue of the successful revolution which accompanied it had a great influence in producing the French Revolution and later in

Stolen Spirits Worth S2 . 0OO,O0O-2O or 30 Under Suspicion in Theft.

Chicago July 5 Pt-Immediate action to condemn 42S barrels and 1855 cases of spurious bonded med ical liquor will be started by the fed eral government. it was announced yesterday by officials. The liquor re gently was discovered substituted for bona fde whiskey stored here in the Sibley warehouse, the government concentration depot for the middle west.
 Mystery on Substitution
 How the liquor, kept under close guard by federal agents and gaugers on the sixth and seventh floors of the building. was stolen and the spurious whiskey put in its place, has not been revealed.
 Local prohibition authorities said colored water, mixtures of water and alcohol, and raw alcohol had been used as substitutes for the whiskey. The thefts were discovered as early as last August, one official said. and an extensive investigation has been carried on since. W. H. Kennedy, deputy prohibition administrator, said that perhaps 25 or 30 persons have been under investigation and there will probably be 50 or more witnesses taken before the grand jury"
 LiGuor Worth S2,000,000
 Officials said that probably 30,o00 gallons of good whiskey 10 and 12 years old had been taken from the warehouse and put on the market. At bootleg prices it was valued at more than s2,00O,Q00.
 Did the liquor get into the hands of any of the well known syndlcates, such as Capone's. Saltis', Bugs Moran's. or any of the lesser gang sters?" Kennedy was asked.
 we think not he replied, but we cant say just how it got out of government bondage
 Government Not Liable
 The government will seek to libel the spurious liquor because it is un- fit for medicinal purposes. Kennedy declared that if the action is grant ed and the liquor destroyed. the gov ernment proba bly, will lose nothing. The owners of the stolen liquor, he said have no redress except possibly through civil suits against the ware house owners, and in addition must pay tax of S6!40 per gallon on the spurious liquor which is destroyed.
