On that day, officially itttrD f called Independence day, but better known aa the "Fourth of July," they will honor the memory of those "SO Immortals" who signed the document In which they held certain "truths to be In which they did "solemnly publish and declare that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and Independent states" and In which "for the support of this declaration, with a Arm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence," they did "mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." We know the names of most of them the men who took the first decisive step toward winning Independence and forming a new nation. Hut how many Americans know the names of other tnen who, many years before, had sowed the seeds of that liberty and of that new nation? How many of us know of Robert Livingston who, as early as 1701, was proposing colonial and a colonial union? And to how many of us does the name of Teonlahagarawe. or King Ilendrlck, a chief of the Mohawk Indians, have any siRniflcance In the struggle for liberty? It 18 with these two men, but more particularly with King Hendrlck, and with the events which foreshadowed the Declaration that this article deals. Although the British Crown encouraged the Idea of a colonial union to aid In Its struggle with France for mastery of North America, the colonies paid little heed to such an Idea coming from the Mother country and either disregarded or evaded directly her appeals to them to contribute to the conduct of the wars. So it seemed that the only possibility for effort lay In voluntary action on the part of the colonies. Sensing-thi- s fact, Robert Livingston, a leading merchant of New York who was much Interested In opening up the rich resources of the back country, came forward with a jlan of colonial union in 1701. Livingston realized that the colony of New York alone could not carry out his ambitious scheme of development so In a long letter, dated May 13, 1701, he laid before the British Council of Trade and Plantations his scheme for uniting the colonies In "one form of government," divided Into three groups, a southern, a central and a northern. Each year there was to be raised from this government a certain sum of money which would be administered from Albany by a board of commissioners selected from eacn of the groups. The Crown was to send troops and equipment and the three groups were to supply labor, under a quota arrangement, for building and garrisoning forts which were to be built In the wilderness to protect settlers who were to.be encouraged to take up lands In the West Every two years the British government was to send out "two hundred youths" as replacements for 200 of the soldiers who were to be mustered out of service but who, If they would remain In the country, were to receive free land. It was an excellent scheme and the British Crown was quick to realize Its advantages. But, as usual, a lack of among the colonies prevailed and nothing came of Livingston's plan. For another half century they went their separate ways. By the middle of the Eighteenth century the menace of French expansion In the West and the tightening of their alliance with the Indians began to alarm the colonies seriously. In 1753 young George Washington, sent by Virginia to the Ohio country to warn the French away from this region claimed ty the British, returned with their flat refusal to go. Then Governor Dinwiddle of Virginia sent Captain Trent and his backwoodsmen to build a fort at the forks of the Monongahela, but before they could finish their work the French drove Trent away. On May 9, 1754, the Pennsylvania Gazette of Philadelphia contained an account of Trent's surrender of the fort and predicted that unless something were done, the French would "kill, seize and imprison our Traders and confiscate their Effects at Pleasure (as they have done for several Years past), murder and scalp our Farmers, with their Wives and Children, and take an easy Possession of such parts of the British Territory as they find most convenient for them: which If they are permitted to do, must end In the Destruction of the British Interest, Trade and Plantations In America." Along with this appeal for concerted action there appeared In the Gazette the first real cartoon, drawn by the publisher of the Gazette. Benjamin Franklin. It showed a disjointed snake, each part labeled with the initals of one of the colonies, and under it the motto "Join, or Die." Later Franklin's graphic portrayal of the urgent necessity for colonlnl onion waa reprinted N th 1 WZA 7 irectory. ftfc S SNAKE CARTOOM &T?sH ' ' 1 In other papers throughout the colonies, who soon had an opportunity to put into practical effect the lesson which it taught but who, as usual, muffed the chance. That was at the famous Albany congress of 1754. For as' George M. Wrong, author of the volume "The Conquest of New France" In "The Chronicles of America" series, says: "The English colonists showed a political blindness that amounted to Imbecility. Albany was the central point from which the dangers on all sides might best be surveyed. Here came together in the summer of 1754 delegates from seven of the colonies to consider the common peril. The French were busy In winning, as they did, the support of the many Indian tribes of the West; and the old allies of the English, the Iroquois, were nervous for their own safety. "The delegates to Albany, tied and bound by Instructions from their assemblies, had to listen to plain words from the savages. The one Englishman who. In dealing with the Indians, bad tact and skill equal to that of Frontenac of old was an Irishman, Sir William Johnson. To him the Iroquois made Indignant protests that the English were as ready as the French to rob them of their lands. Outstanding among these native orators who spoke such plain words to the delegates was Teonlahigarawe or King Hendrlck of the Mohawks. Although he Is not so well known to most Americans as that other Mohawk leader, or Joseph Brant, Hendrlck was one of the most important Indian figures In colonial history. He was born about 1G72 near the present site of Westfield, Mass. Although he was the son of a Mohegan of the Wolf clan, his mother was a Mohawk woman, so he became a member of the latter tribe. Some time between 1000 and 1002 Teoniahigarawe was converted to Christianity by a Dutch preacher named Godefrldus Dellius and given the name of Hendrick Peters, later shortened to Hendrick. As a Christian preacher and a natural leader, Hendrlck rapidly rose to a position of prominence among the Mohawks as an orator and a councillor. After the failure of General Nicholson's expedition against Canada during Queen Anne's war, the provincial authorities of New York became fearful that the Iroquois might Join forces with the French. To prevent this sad to gain more active support from the Mother country In carrying on the war. Col. Peter Schuyler decided to make a Journey to England and to take with him several Iroquois leaders. Hendrlck was one of the five, chosen to go and In April, 1710, Schuyler and his Iroquois delegation arrived In London where they were received with great, ceremony as "native kings" of the Five Nations of the Iroquois confederacy. Upon their return to America King Hendrlck took an active part In the preparations for the campaign against the French, but the Treaty of Utrecht ended the war before any Important results were accomplished. From that time on Hendrick was much in the limelight as a war leader of his people but more as an orator and a frequent speaker at councils with the provincial authorities In Albany. For a time he was swayed toward the cause of the French, but the Influence of Sir William Johnson, with whom he later became such a firm friend, kept him loyal to the English. During the negotiations with the Iroquois at the Albany congress Hendrlck was the chief sneaker for the Indians. In answer to charges that the Iroquois were leaning to the French, he replied hotly : "You have asked us the reason of our being driven like leaves before the wind. The reason Is because of your neglect' of us these three years past. You have thrown us behind your back and disregarded us, whereas the French are always turning this way and that, with their eyes ever upon the trail, ever using their utmost endeavors every day, walking softly like the wolf in winter to seduce and bring our people over to them. Tls your fault, brethren, that we are not strengthened by conquest, for we would have gone and taken Crown Point but you hindered us. We had concluded to go and take It, but we were told It was too late and that the Ice would not bear us; Instead of this, you burnt your own forts at Seraghtoga and run away from It, which was a stinme and a scandal to you.

It was delivered on July 4, 1754, and in it he anticipated by 22 years to the day some of the Ideas expressed In the Declaration of Independence. He said: "Brethren, ltis very true, as you told us, that the clouds hang heavy over us and It Is not very pleasant to look up; but we give this belt to clear away all the clouds, that we may all live in bright sunlight, and keep together In strict union and friendship. Then we shall become strong and nothing can hurt us. "Brethren, I will just tell you what a people we were formerly. If any enemies arose against us, we had no occasion to lift up our whole hand against them, for our little finger was sufficient; and as we have now made a strong confederacy If we are truly in earnest therein, we may retrieve the ancient glory of the Five Nations." It is easy to imagine how attentively one delegate to that congress listened to the words of the Mohawk chieftain as he told of the ancient power of the Iroquois confederacy, a power gained so many years before because these "savIs strength" ages" realized that "in union there " and put that realization Into practical effect. That delegnte was Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, who had In his pocket a plan for a union of the colonies which he had brought from Philadelphia with him. His plan provided for the appointment of a president-genera- l for the colonies, appointed by the Crown, and the election by the various colonial assemblies of a legislative body to be called the grand council. The powers which they were to exercise- resembled In many ways those conferred upon the President and congress by our federal Constitution. The delegates to the Albany congress unanimously adopted Franklin's plan, but It was defeated when brought to a vote in the colonial assemblies. So the colonies and the Mother country turned deaf ears to the wisdom that came from the lips of such men as King Hendrick of the Mohawks and Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and went back to their policy of "blundering They blundered seriously several through." times in the campaign against Crown Point the next year. One of their blunders was in disregarding the advice of King Hendrlck who had led his Mohawks to aid his friend. Sir William Johnson, who commanded the expedition. When It was proposed to send a detachment of 1,000 troops and 300 Indians to the aid of besieged Fort Edward, the Slohawk chief objected. "If they are to fight, they are too few," he said. "If they are to die, they are too many." But the council of war overrode him. Then when It was proposed to send the detachment against the enemy In three parties, Hendrick again preached his message of "In union there Is strength." Picking up three sticks from the ground, he said: "Put these together and you cannot break them ; take them one by one and you will do it easily." But again his advice was disregarded and the detachment started against the gallant and able commander, DIeskau. The result was the ambush at Bloody Pond, the defeat of the colonials with the loss of 100 men, including the leader of the detachment. Col. Ephralm Williams, and stout old Hendrlck. His horse was shot down at the first volley and before he could, extricate himself a French bayonet pierced his heart. So the great Mohawk died before he could see his English allies blunder through the French and Indian war to a successful conclusion. But "In union there Is strength" was his not utterly lost. Another man who had preached the same message at the Albany congress continued to preach It through his snake cartoon, through his writings and In his speeches in the Continental congress. So Benjamin Franklin lived to see It become an accomplished fact He helped write a pledge to such a union In the Declaration of Independence and even though during the dark days of the Revolution the bonds of that union seemed about to be broken, they survived long enough to win American liberty. But before he died he saw thnt union Imper-Ishnblpreserved in the Constitution of tba United States of America.

The ones that you give a job to say you made a good one, the ones you did-en- t, say you are terrible. So as there is more that you dont hire than there Is that you can, why you are generally classed as "Just another Govenor". If a man dont need the money, and he dont just want the glory, I dont know why he should go into it "Good intentions, a business administration, and throw the rascals out". Thats been tried by better men than you. There Is grave yards in 48 state capitols where headstones say, "Here lies Govenor Meantwell. Here lies Govenor Honesty. Here lies Govenor Reform." Now that might sound kinder and it is, but Its facts. These men find a system in there that they just dont seem to get rid of. Some do make a dent in it, and some states are better than others, but being Govenor is a sort of a thankless job, after the applause Is over. I sometimes think it ought to be done by just a hired manager, with no political affiliations whatever. You got a business, you go hire the best man you can. You dont know if he is an Elk, or an Eagle. He is put in there to run it. He hires and fires all that dont make good.

Making good In office is kinder like gambling. You can go in with plenty of money and the best Intentions, but the old system is against you.
