THE Declaration received the votes
L of all the Colonies except New
York, whose delegates were not then
authorized to commit themselves on
the matter. A short time later they
were so authorized and also sanctioned
it. At the July 4 session, after agree

dent resumed the chair. Mr.. Harrison
reported, that the committee have had
under consideration the declaration to
them referred; but, not having had
time to go through, desired leave to
sit again.
"Resolved, That this Congress will,
tomorrow, again resolve itself into
committee of the whole, to take into
their further consideration the declar
alton of independence"
A few minutes later the session ad-
journed until 20 o'clock to Morrow"
THIS resolution, agreed to many
years ago, had been presented to
the Congress for action on the seventh
day of theJune preceding, almosta month
before. 1t was drawn up and present
ed by Richard Henry Lee, pursuant to
a resolution of the Virginia house of
burgesses adopted on May Is, the
same year. 1t was seconded, when pre-
sented to the Congress, by John Adams,
on behalf of the Massachusetts delega-
ton. Consideration, however, was de-
ferred until the following day, when it
was referred to the committee of the
whole. Postponed again on the eighth
which was Saturday, on the tenth
of June committee was appointed ito
prepare a declaration to the effect of
the said first resolution" That COM
mittee was composed of Thomas Jeffer-
son, chairman; John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, Robert r. Livingston and
Roger Sherman.
This committee brought in its report
on June %, with the first draft of the
declaration. 1t was read and ordered
to lie on the table That was a Friday.
The Congress adjourned that day until
the following Monday, July 1.
WIEN came July 2, with the passage
4 of the resolution presented on the
seventh of June by Mr.. Lee, but still
without agreement on the text of the
declaration itself. July 8 saw sim
ilarly fruitless discussion. But on
Thursday morning July d. differences
had been smoothed out. The Journal,

stripes was first hoisted at Fort STAN
wix, called Fort Schuyler at the time,
near the present city of Rome, N. Y,
on August 3, 1777. 1t was first under
fire three days later in the battle of
Oriskany.
BY act of congress January IS, 1894,
the design of the flag was changed so
as to incorporate fifteen stripes and
fifteen stars, after the admission of
Vermont and Kentucky, and one star
was to be added for every subsequent
state admitted. This, however, was re-
pealed in 1918, when the original num-
Der of stripes was established, the
stars continuing to increase as new
states were admitted.

parchment, and on August 2 the for
mality of signing took place. Fifty
three signed that day; three signed
later in the year. Of the fifty-siX sign
ers seven were not members of the
Congress on July when the Declara-
ton was agreed to, and of those who
were present on that historic day,
seven never signed the document.
The Declaration was first proclaimed
in public on July s, when it was read
by John Nixon from the platform built
in Independence Square in 1863.
THE Declaration was not adopted by
l. the Continental Congress until al
most fifteen months after the War for
ments at Concord and Lexington. They
occurred on April 10, 1775. In fact,
seven important battles of that war
had been fought before the resolution
of independence introduced by Mr. Lee
was agreed to. They were, besides
Concord and Lexington, Ticonderoga,
on May 10; Bunker Hill, on June II;
Montreal, on November 10; Quebec, on
December 81, all in 1775, and Fort
Moultrie, on June %, 1776. George
Washington had been commander-in-
chief-though he was termed general
of the Continental forces since June
Is, 1875. At the time of the Declara-
ton, Washington was in the field and
had been for more than year. On
the day it was formally adopted he
he was in New York, preparing for
what was to be the Battle Of Long
Island
Despite the deliberate action of the
Congress, however, there had been de-
mands for a declaration of independ-
ence months before that July day in
1776. There was the Macklenberg Dec
laration, passed on May 20, 1875. And
on April %, 1776, the freeholders of
Cumberland county, Virginia, called
for similar action by the Virginia con-
vention itself, which met on May and
moved for the declaration which Rich
ard Henry Lee presented to the Con
gress the following month.

RURAL SECTORS WARNED

Vancouver Farmers and other
rural residents in Clark county were
warned last week by George Herger,
district fire warden, to check all fires
they may have started within the
last month or six weeks to burn slash
ings or to remove brush. If these
fires are still smouldering they will
soon become an extreme fire hazard
for timber and homes all over the
county, he pointed out.
Although so far this year the
county has been fortunate in having
an unusually late wet season, few
days of hot sunshine will greatly in
crease fire hazards.
FIREMEN HOLD CONVENTION
Tacoma - A ''smolze-eaters" ball
concluded the three-day annual
northwest fire school at which more
than 300 firemen from all parts of

Glasses and demonstrations played a
big part in the program during the
three days. The school next. year
will be held in Everett in conjunction
with the fire chiefs convention.

REMEMBER WHEN?
California Progress Review

Harking back to the good old days. do you
remember when?-
The milk-man drove up to the curb and
range his bell and you went out with the family
pitcher
The baker came by blowing his bugle, and
you went out for a loaf Of bread
The butter and egg man drove in from the
farm and rang the back door bell to inquire "a
bout your supply
1t was Friday because the horn Of the fish
peddler echoed up and down the block
And Sunday when nobody came.
Give us back the good old days? All right,
then
Turn in the straight eight for whatever they
will allow YOU on the old gray
Fire the board of health if you're going to
buy your milk out of tin can in street
cart Don't expect too much bread for dime
if the baker brings it to your house loaf at
a time.
Turn off the electric refrigerator and buy an
ice box. Candle your eggs and test your butter.
And don't look for oysters on the half-shell for
your Sunday dinner.
On second thought-can you bring back the
good old days?
There is an Indispensable necessity about
most of the methods Of production and distribu-
ton and exchange and business process that
have been developed. California, in particular
has learned by bitter experience the absolute
necessity of general cooperative organization in
production, in marketing and in distribution
through retail channels.
Peddling is thing of the past. Retailing is
business science.

LABOR'S PRESENT STRUGGLE
IS NOT WITH CAPITAL

The International Seamen's Union on
the Atlantic coast has split wide open as
a result of the maritime strike which
found its beginnings in San Francisco.
The split demonstrates more clearly,
more thoroughly than anything else,
the fact which has been hidden behind
many labor difficulties in the United
States during the last few years. Labor's
struggle is not with capital-it is with
labor.
No true American would oppose high
er wages and better working conditions
for the laborers who are, after all, the
support of the country. 1t is to the
advantage of all persons to live in
satisfied, prosperous country. The few
who do not realize this are rapidly thin
ming in ranks. Successful economic prac-
tice dictates today that the laborer must
be we'll treated and satisfied. 1t is to
his employers advantage as we'll as to
his own.
When labor repudiates its leaders,
however, as some self-styled union men
have done along the Atlantic coast, la
Dor is in grave danger. The leaders be-
lieve a strike is unnecessary. The NAL
contents want to strike. II they are Sc
rious in their purpose, they lack realiza-
tion that American labor under the lead
ership of the men they now repudiate
has become the most solidly organized
labor in the world. Without that leader
ship. labor may find itself in turmoil
from which it will emerge with losses
instead of gains.
1t is always dangerous for any group
to toss aside the leaders who have
brought prosperity and success. Labor's
battle now is not with capital, it is with
those who would sabotage it from with
in.
