Wl r nudl! that the present day tries to understand the situation of 158 years ago. The trouble of that far-of- f day may be ascribed to the mischievous theory of colonization which formerly prevailed In England and. Indeed, In all the rest of Europe, a theory that parliament might enact laws binding npon the colonies In all cases whatsoever" without regard to the wishes of the colonies. Acting npon this theory, England tried to exploit ber American colonies. some difficulty A merica s Most Precious Document T IS 158 years ago since the 13 original American states broke away from the rule of Great Britain and proclaimed to the world their autonomy through the Declaration of Independence. That historic instrument, promulgated on July 4, 1776, Is the most Important In American history, beautiful shrine of bronze and marble In the Library of Congress, at Washington, is the resting place of tliis cherished parchment Beside It reposes the Constitution of the United States as drafted by the na tlon's fathers. There, under am her glass which protects then) from discoloration by the light, they may he seen by visitors. Without reference to book or pamphlet, Thomas Jefferson wrote tiie Declaration out of his own heart. The original draft, submitted to a committee of trusted leaders appointed from the Continental Congress for the purpose, approved ie Instrument after minor changes . e and It was accepted two days later. This J? I;laratwn of July 4. 1770. gave full force and finality to the actual condition of independence which already existed. Probably no two peoples have more in common or have lived In greater amity thnn Great Britain and the United States have lived for more than a century. Certainly nowhere else in the world could be found such a thing as an undefendA Qen - i will-bean. ed boundary line of 3,0o0 miles.

Among these was the stamp act, which levied a tax ln America on stamped paper. . It brought an outburst of opposition, but petitions that crossed the Atlantic were of no avail Later It was followed by Import duties on glass, paper, paints and tea. Because of protests, all finally were regaled except the tax on tea. Colonists refused to buy tea, hut shiploads of It were sent away to New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Charleston. It appeared that Britain was attempting to force Americans both to buy tea and to pay a tax on tl Boston rallied to the occasion with the celebrated Boa-to- n Tea Party," a midnight festivity in which men disguised as Indians boarded a ship and threw the tea cargo Into the harbor. To discipline Boston for this, the British then closed the port to all shipping and sent soldiers to occupy the city, There were other measures of reprisal also. Believing that Massachusetts was the fountainhead of resistance, parliament passed another act revising the charter of Massachusetts and providing for the transportation to England of certain offenders for trial Massachusetts rebelled, the other colonies stood behind her. There were hurried activities which savored of preparation for war Mlnutemen were organized and quantities of ammunition were collected and stored at Concord. General Gage occupying Boston, determined to destroy these stores and sent 800 men from Boston to do the work. When they reached Lexington on the morning of April 19, 1775, they found about 50 mlnutemen ln their way. They fired on the embattled farmers, killing eight and wounding ten, and proceeded to Concord. On their way back to Boston they were attacked by gathering militia forces and all but Annihilated. The war had begun. A few weeks late followed the siege of Boston, the Battle of Bunker Hill and that great day whet Washington took command of thv Continental army.
