The Declaration
One hundred and forty-nine years ago tomorrow the
Declaration of Independence, the document in which the
thirteen American colonies declared their independence of
Great Britain was adopted by the Continental Congress at
Philadelphia. It was signed individually by the members on
August 2 and later. Of the 50 signers, seven were not mem
bers of congress, and of thoso who were present on passage,
seven never affixed signatures.
The Declaration was draughted by Thomas Jefferson and
amended slightly by John Adams and Benjamin Franklin,
members of the committee appointed for the purpose. Two
important changes were made by congress upon its passage.
Jefferson's arraignments of the British people, and of King
George for encouraging and fostering the slave trade, which
Jefferson called an "execrable commerce," being eliminated.
It was lucky for the authors and signers that the
Declaration was written in 177G, for if they had written
anything like it in the year 1925 they would have been
imprisoned for "criminal anarchy" or for "criminal syndical
ism" or some other such law and the conviction been upheld
by the supreme court.
The Declaration of Independence says:
Wc hold theso truths to be self-evident, Hint all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalien
able Rights, that anions these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness. That to securo these rights, Governments aro instituted
among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent nf tho gov
erned. That whenever any Komi of Government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the flight of tho People to niter or lo abolish It,
and to Instiluto new Government, laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its powers In such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Less than a month ago the federal supreme court upheld
the conviction of Benjamin Gitlow, under the New York
criminal anarchy act, who was sentenced to serve five to ten
years in prison for advocating the theory of the overthrow
of the government by a general strike and the substitution of
the rule of the so-called proletariat for the "capitalistic"
form of government. The court held that:
The mennp advocated for bringing about tho destruction of organ
ized parliamentary government necossnrily Imply tho uso
of force and violence, and In their essential naturo aro Inherently
unlawful in a constitutional government of law and order.
However the nation's founders advocated the right of the
people to resort to force to change their form of government
so Fourth of July orators better go slow or reading the
Declaration of Independence may bring them a prison
Bcntence.
Defense Day Bunk
Just what useful purpose is served by turning celebration
of the nation's birthday into a national military observance
a volunteer enlistment of service for a day and a gesture of
defiance to the world, is hard to ascertain. Such a mobiliza
tion of forces is bound to be misconstrued abroad while as
preparation for defense, it is a joke.
We are iold that Defense day test is proof of loyalty. It is
nothing of the sort. Loyally cannot be measured by such
grand-stand plays. Enrollment for n day is neither evidence
of patriotism nor valuable experience in case of war. Nor
will such annual antics keep the nation prepared for conflict,
though it may keflp alive the desire for war by fostering o
false idea of its glory.
Mobilization of men will not count much in future warfare,
except to mass them for slaughter, which will be done by the
draft. The old methods are as obsolete as the bow and arrow
Wars of the future will be fought in the air with high
explosives and chemicals as weapons and although the army
nnd navy boneheads refuse to recognize facts, their failure
does not alter them.
The very best defense the nation can have is to treat
other nations fairly and cooperate with them in creating an
effective League of Nations and World Court to supplant
resort to force. The only weapons to bo developed for effec
tive defense are aircraft which with chemicals are making
war so terrible as to preclude it. Concentration upon such
development will do far more to prevent war than the
childish flourishes of Defense day,

"And then I camo nlong and up

"No, I did, by accepting your In
vltfillon to have luncheon with
you. liut I don't see why It Isn't
all rlRht; there' nothing dreadful
about lunching with an old frtend,
aurely, even though I am a bride."
"I don't neo wliy there should
be," Ornhnm agreed. "Now, tell
mo what you want to eat, and then
we'll have a farewell vtalt, nml I'll
clear out of your way for good."
Cynthia's eyes filled with team.
Bhe wfia vexed nt neelng Madnme
Lelnnd, realising that her mother
In-law would probably criticise her
everely for being there with Phil.
Wretchedly (the at fond that tiwrt-l
4 like enwduiit, barely listening
to what Thlt was saying. She hated
to let him Ko like I hi", but her
own troubles occupied her mind
so fully that tOio could not think
of anything ele. And When they
had finished luncheon and were
tfjiyiiiK good-bye at the i e.itaurnnt
door. who breather a deep of
relief.
Hut when he had koiio bIio felt
Mtruiittely lust uyluuit him. She
walked slowly down tho street,
wondering what she would do with
the rest of her afternoon.
At homo she could have called
up nny one of half a dozen rIiIs
and had a delightful afternoon.
Hut nho had lived In hor new home
for no fhort a time that hn had
no friend, and so fnr nono of her
new acquaintances seemed friend
ly enounh to bo casually telephon
ed to. I
"Oh, well, I'll have my ball
shampooed," oho decided nuddcnlv. 1
pausing oppofdt a idiop whoso win
dow wnn marked "Kline." She ro
memborcd that Madame Leland
said that absolutely an tho bout
people went to Kline for sham
poos; there wa nobody llko her.
Cynthia went Into the idiop slow
ly, half-hoping that aho could not
get an appointment; aa soon ns hc
had made the decision she bad won
dered why she wanted to spend nn
hour In the hot Indoors when it
waa eucli a beautiful day.
"Mrs. Leland T Oh, Mrs. Jamefl
Leland. Yea, Indeed, we can take
you at once just etep Into that
third booth that's the one. An at
tendant will bo with you at once."
Cynthia realized that "Ellse"
woe acrutlnlzing her minutely, tak
luff In every datall of her costume.
"She'll tell the glrbi in the shop
about me later, or her frionde, I
suppose," she mused. "Of course
she knows nil about Jlm'a marry
Ing me, and all that."
She took off her wraps and sat
down In the deep, cushioned chair
Kline believe in making her pat
rons comfortable. For a moment
she sat relaxed, thinking of noth
ing at all, realizing that trite was
very tired and would have liked to
to sleep. Then voices from the
other side of the partition caught
her oar.
"lo, indeed; you should have
seen obi Mrs. Iceland look at her."
Kvidently the woman who was
speaking fairly gloated over her bit
of news. "She simply glared, my
dear. I felt sorry for young Mrs.
Jim and envious of her, too; the
man she was lunching with was too
stunning for words, and when they
met In the hall ho all but took her
in his arms.' I'll wager that eho
had plenty of boaux in her own
home town before sho married Jim
Leland."
'She's awfully pretty," comment
ed another voice. "And she looks
as If she had a will jf her own.
But I guess old Mrs. Leland simply
runs hor now. You know how she
always managed hor daughters bo
fore they were married."
Cynthia sat forward In the chair
her cheeks burning. So this was
the way the town talked about
her! They knew her difficulties as
woll as she did, and voro amused
by them! And speaking as they had
of Phil Grnham and her. "All but
took her In his arms" indeed!
"I've decided not to have my hair
done this afternoon, after all," she
told the attendant who came into
the booth Just then, and hurried
from the shop, she wanted to hide
in the darkest corner of her house
or better etlll, not go to that
hateful house at all. Madame Le-
lana a girt how could she ever
stay In it again?
She walked through the park
alnd reaching the end of It, turned
and walked back again, trying to
think, but unable to disentangle
her thoughts, if only she could
explain to Jim how homesick and
lonely she felt, and how hard it
was for her to live up to his moth
er's expectations, if only he oould
let her go home for Just a little
while, back in the city where she
know everybody and people didn't
misjudge her because they knew
that site meant to do the right
thing.
"Probably everybody In town
will be talking about Phil and me
by tonight," she reflected miser
ably. "Well, I'll tell Jim about It
the minute lie gets home; at least
he'll know the truth, and then it
won't matter what anyone else
thinks." . '
Hut she reached homo at five
o'clock to find a lolcgram from
Jim awaiting her.
"Couldn't reach you by phone,"
It said. "Called out of town sud
denly, back next week. Letter fol

WORK 10 START

Active work of construction of
the new theater at Salem, to be lo
cated on High street between
State and Ferry, will begin in ap
proximately 10 days, it was statod
this morning by thoso In charge of
the building. It is expected that It
will take that length of time lo
finish excavation, which Is not pro
gressing as rapidly as was expect
ed. A period of 1 0 days is allow
ed in which to finish construction
after It actually begins.
Water was struck a few days
ago, which it was thought might
bo found in sufficient quantities to
interfere with excavation work
and become a nuisance after the
building is finished, but upon dig
ging deeper It was found that not
so much water was to be encoun
tered as had been feared.
The excavation is being dug
doopcr in front and back tlinn in
the middle. Room is being made
at the back for the boiler room,
dressing rooms and orchestra pit.
The plans provide for janitor
rooms and store rooms at "the
front.
Several names aro being consid
ered for the new theater, but none
has been definitely chosen. The
theater itself will bo the largest In
Oregon outside of Portland when
built, and will be larger than any
at present operated In Portland.
