The markers of the field, as required by {he Aero Club, will not be expensive. One of the main difficulties attendant upon the scheme is the selection of a proper site. Larg flat fields with no hills , are desirable The aviator cannot l-\l)wrl on a slope with any degree of safety. After the selection is made the rental of the grounds should not be great. 1t was but a day or so ago that an nearby trees or aviator landed in Van Cortland Park, New York, for “disturbing the gre dian of the law who objected to the ’Ia,tion of the city ordinances, He was haled into court and allowed to gosé The judge had little other alter- native.

It is better that a regular field be installed for *him if possible. If it is known in the fraternity of the air that mccommodations here we will soon fird that we are receiving many visits from aviators who purposely started for New Britain, in addition to the stragglers who might be land here.

CHANGES IN LAWS, Of the several changes in state laws which went into effect July 1 there are one or two that will directly af- fect many people in the city. Of par- ticular interest are about them. These affect patrons of moving-picture houses, the fisherman and the automobile own- er. that Movie warned they will, managers are in the future, be liable to a fine of $50 for each person to they sell standing room in excess of the predetermined of their houses.

That, to secure these rights, zovernments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abelish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation eon such principles, @nd or- ganizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that governments long - established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to, suffer while evils are sufferab!%, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accus- tomed. But when a long train of abuses and usur- pations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and: to ‘provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient suf- ferance of these colonies; and such is now the neces- sity which consgtrains them te alter their former sys- tems of government. The history of the present King :of Great Britain is a history of repeated in- juries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a cgndid world. He has refused his assent to laws the most whole- some and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governmors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspend- ed in their operation till his assent should be ob- tained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the ac- commodation of large districts of people, unless those peop)e would relinquish the right of represen- tation in the legislature—a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only. Fe has called together legislative bodies at places. unnusual, uncomfertable, and distant from the de- pository of their public records, for the sole pur- pose” of fatiguing them into compliance with his measure. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused, for a long time after such disso- lutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the legisiative powers, Incapable of annihilation, hare returned.;to the people at large for their exercise; the Staté remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the dangers of invasions from without, and con- -vulsions within, He -has endeavored to prevent the population of “these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws for the naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. 5 U t He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judi- ciary powers. He has madeé judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure o? their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent Pihor swarms of officers to harass our people and el out wheir s He bhas kept duaiotig s .t o armies, without the consent of our i He has affected to render the military independent ~f. and superior to, the civil power. wling He has combined wiith ' of jurisdiction foreign to- jou acknowledged by our ia their acts of preténded la For quartering large bodi us; For protecting them, by ishment for any murders mit on the inhabitants jo For cutting off our trad world ; For imposing taxes oan u For depriving us, in ma of trial by jury; For transperting us bey pretended offences; For abplishing the free in a neighboring provin arbitrary govemmem, a. so as to render it at on¢) strument for introducing into these colonies; For taking away our most valuable laws, and a forms of eur government: For suspending dur ow ing themselves invested us in all cases whatsoevd He hawabdicated gover out of his protection, and, He has plundered our burned our towns, and d people.
