JULY 4, 1875

ONE HUNDRED and fifty-seven years
" ago tomorrow, the Declaration OF IN
dependence, calling for the severance of
the colonies from Great Britain, was
adopted by the continental congress, sit
ting in Philadelphia.
The Declaration received the affirma-
tive votes of all the colonies with the eX-
ception of New York, whose delegates
were not authorized at that time to COM
nit themselves on the question of inde-
pendence.
Of the Sc men who signed their names
to the immortal document, seven were
not members of congress when the reso
luton was adopted on July and of
those who were present on that date,
seven never did affiX their signatures to
the Declaration.
The action of the sc men who signed
the document is one of the most out
standing examples of political courage
in the history of the world. For it. they
and their families were prescribed as
traitors by the British government and
standing reward of 500 pounds was off
cred for the apprehension of any OF
them.
For those who like to proclaim the
doctrine of America for Americans
only, it might be pointed out that OF
the Sc signers, eight were foreigners.
Two were born in England, one in Wales,
three in Ireland and two in Scotland.
They were a true cross section of the
country, their occupations including law
yers, merchants, planters, physicians,
farmers, shoemaker, two statesmen ,
a sailor, a surveyor, general, panKer,
a Judge, a printer and minister.
Another interesting incident IN con-
nection with the Declaration is that the
last two survivors among the signers died
so years later, on July 4-Thomas JET
ferson and John Adams. Political en-
emies, and for long time personal an
tagoniSts, the two old men were recon-
ciled before their deaths.
Nowadays our Fourth of July IS more
concerned with some means OF enjoying
ourselves than it is with the things that
concerned the signers Of the Declaration
Our moderns are inclined to poke scorn
at the old time Fourth of July celebra-
tion with the annual reading of the Dec
laration by the town orator, but 1t IS not
to be denied that such program IS
very desirable part of any Fourth OF July
celebration.
It would be eminently fitting to have
the Declaration read in every community
in the nation on July Fourth, even though
il might be boring to many.
For the rank and file, the slgnefS ol
