The Declaration of Independence was
received with every demount ration of
jiuhllc rejoicing. Wo are told that it
way read In public from the platform
of an observatory In the rear of the
ntatehoiiBu. On the sumo day a bril
liant fete wan given In honor of the
natlou'H birth on board the frlgato
Wiiulilngton In the Delaware , the fes
tivities terminating with a ball In the
ovonlug. The declaration was read at
the head of each brigade of the Conti
nental army stationed at New York ,
mid received with joyful hux/.as. Again
on the tenth day of July , the doelaia-
tlou was road In the courthouse at
i "White Plains by order of the , conven
tion then In session. The king's coat
of arms was brought from the hall
whore his courts wore hold and burned
lunhl the acclamations of the multl-
tudo.
Thus we llnd that whatever form
these public demonstrations of rejoic
ing over the nation's birth might take ,
they wore always preceded by a care
ful exposition of the cause for that re
joicing. The celebration of Indopcnd-
once day , in those early times , wan the
fxultant overflow of emotion duo to
the Intelligence , clearly and pointedly
conveyed to the popular mind , of the
lesoluto resistance of the country's
leadcis to tyranny that should inako
Ameilca free.
Chen a true conception of the
causes , the principles and Inlluencos
that should bo ro-oxamlued and con
templated on every recurring July I ,
the American people would Impart a
meaning and dignity to their festivi
ties on the holiday of national holidays
such as would preclude an Indulgence
in moro senseless , nerve-racking ,
noisy demonstrations ; without thought
of the "why ? " or "wherefore ? " of the
occasion. Too many of our youth , not
withstanding the lessons of American
history learned at school , are apt to
forget the real.significance of Uio na
tion's birthday when they deem It
sutHclont to vent what they arc
pleased to call their "patriotism" in
deafening horn-blasts and In the free
and careless use of reeking explosives
and dangerous firearms.
Nor Is the great mass of our foreign
population which is ultimately to bo

was , "He Bowed Himself with

Vital Facts of Independence.
The Fourth of July Is rated a great
day in the nation's hlmiry , not because -
cause the Declaration of Independence
waa llrst read to the Continental con
gress on that day , but because it
watt adopted on that day. It Is true
that a resolution declaring tlio col-
onion to bo free and independent
states \\as adopted July U , but tlio
declaration , written by .Jefferson and
afterward amended by the congress ,
was not adopted until July -I. It was
signed the same day by John Han
cock , president of the congress , and
Charles Thomson , the secretary. Au
gust It was signed bj all the mem
bers of congress present 5u mem
bers. Six nainei ! were alterward at
tached. Col. McKcan did not Hlgn It
until 17S1. Thus the moro fact of
signing the declaration Is of amall
importance. The adoption waa the
vital fact.
