NEWS ITEMS OF 1776

Items from old newspapers are of in
terest to many, and here few from the
Massachusetts, Sun, published in Worcester
on July II, 1776, the front page of which
was devoted to the Declaration of In
dependence, then less than two weeks old.
A news letter from New York said:
"On Wednesday last the Declaration
of Independence was read at the head OF
each brigade of the Continental Army at
or near New York, and everywhere re-
ceived with loud huzZas and utmCs. demon
stration of joy. The same evening the
equestrian statue of George III was by the
sons of freedom laid PROSTATE in the dirt.
The lead wherewith this monument was
made is to be run into bullets to assimilate
with the brains of our advefsaries, who, to
gain peppercorn, have lost an empire"
A resolution by the house of represen-
tatives of WATERFOWL requested that peo-
pie Of that colony donate their laden WIN
dow weights for the making of bullets
Among the notices was one stating
that there were considerable numbers of
prisoners in the town, who were willing to
go out to service if proper persons should
appear to hire them"
Delinquent subscribers were a problem
in those days, as they have been ever since
It appears from card from the publisher
who thanked those readers who paid up.
adding, He begs that such as have not paid
him would be so considerable as to think of
the great disadvantage it must be to him
to have so many small sums in different
hands, therefore would now request that
they would pay their respective balances,
which will greatly oblige thir humble ser
want, Isaiah Thomas"
After 156 years good many pub
fishers may still find Mr.. Thomas's court
eous suggestion quite applicable to present
conditions.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE LAW

Too many people are taking adj
vantage of our bankruptcy law. This may
mean that there is something wrong with
the law. Or there may be something wrong
with good many of our people. Which
ever it is, something needs fixing. If it. is
the law that needs CHANGING, that is easily
to handle those who go into bankru ptcy to
defraud their creditors, says the McComb
(Miss.) Journal.
The bankruptcy law was meant to
serve good purpose. 1t was nr intended
that it should be used to cancel a mans
debts simply because he had bought more
than he could pay for. It was meant to
protect an honest man who had suffered
unavoidable handicaps, disappointments
and losses, who was unable to meet his i'll
debtedness for the time being It was not
intended to be used in the way it is being
used today in great many instances.
There have been times when it seemed
a bankrupt set out with the deliberate in
tention to defraud his creditors He would
live in luxury, denying himself nothing that
could be bought on credit. His family
dressed like millionaires. His house fur
nishings were a dream. But when the
time came to pay for all these fine things,
he would take the bankruptcy law, and
another entry would be made to the profit
and loss account on his creditors books.
Men have done this even though draw
ing the same salary as when the account
was made-sometimes even larger salaries.
There were motor at least didn't appear
to be-any good reasons why he shouldn't
or couldn't pay his just debts. 1t looked
like he just didn't want to pay, and the
bankruptcy law provided an easy-if not
an honorable-way out.
There's flaw somewhere in a law
that will allow a man to defraud his
creditors, it doesn't matter under what pre-
text it is done. There is something wrong
with law that will hold out hope of
something for nothing. There is something
wrong with law that will suggest a shady
transaction. and then leave loophole to
slip through There is something wrong
when men can cancel their honest debts
just by a stroke of pen.
Our bankruptcy law certainly needs
fixing.
