TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

200 Years Ago Today-John Han
cock was born in Quincy, Mass, the
son and grandson of Congregational
ministers. Upon the passing of his
father, he was adopted by an uncle
whose death made John, at 81, one of
the wealthiest men in America He
was conspicuously of the privileged
class, very few of whom were in SYM
pathy with the rebels, when the Revo-
luton broke.
Motives of many of the rebels are
questionable. A large number were
the riffraff who welcome disorder of
any kind and are always in the fore
front of any mob. But in the small
band of genuine patriots, John Han
cock stands out.
The voice of John Hancock, the
largest property owner in Boston,
raised against the British, naturally
resounded ten times as far as a hum
BILE farmers.
The British quickly recognized him
as one of their most formidable antag-
onists and sought to bride him with
honors and concessions to drop his
advocacy of the Colonists side These
efforts made him more outspoken. AS
all schoolboys know, it was to capture
Hancock and Sam Adams that the
British expedition to Concord, in
April, ITS, which led to the battle of
Lexington, was undertaken. When
General Gage, after Lexington, tried
to establish peace, he offered pardons
to all rebels except Hancock and Sam
Adams. tiHW
Gage did not underestimate the
quality of his opponent. When the
best method of driving the British
from Boston was under discussion
among Revolutionary leaders, Han
cock-the largest property owner
said: Burn Boston"
