AN OLD BELL.
New Mexican1


In the office of c. T. Brown of the
Buckeye Mining company, with office at
Socorro, is found what is alleged to be
the Oldest bell in the United States.
This historic bell was made in 1919. In
1880 the church was destroyed by the
Indians. In 1874 the bell was dug out
of the ruins of an old church at Gran
Quivera, an old pueblo and Spanish
city, said by several Spanish historians
to have exceeded 10000 in population.
From Gran Quivera the bell was
brought back to Socorro and hung in
the old San Miguel church.
In 1881 this church at Socorro was de-
Stroyed by Indians and the people driv-
en- south to Isleta, near Ell Paso. In
1906 colony of seventy families came
from Belen, on the Rio Grande, and re-
settled Socorro and repaired the old
church, which stands to this day. This
old bell was again resurrected and
placed in the church. The bell weighs
461 pounds. The metal used in it came
from a mine in Grant county, called the
Santa Rita de Copie. The women added
all their jewelry of silver and gold to it.
Clippings from the old bell have been
assayed and it is found that it Is worth
over $500 in gold and silver.
The bell was the first to ring on the
American continent. and that on the
banks of the Rio Grande. Seventy years
before the Mayfiowers sailed into Bos-
ton harbor this old bell, with its clear

KING HUMBERT.

The death of Italy's ruler at the
! hands of an assassin on last Sunday is
sad. Born in Turin March Il, 1874, he
succeeded his father, Victor Emanuel,
in 1873. While Prince of Piedmont he
| commanded division of General Cial-
dinis army at Custozza in 1865. The
most notable event of his life was the
formation Of the Triple Alliance in 1888.
No cause. further than that the assas-
sin was an anarchist, is given for the
awful crime. Anarchy is social evil,
had its origin at the commencement of
the present century in France. The
word itself indicates its meaning
without ruler or government. Pierre
Joseph Proudhon. born at Besancon,
France in 1862 a French socialist, con-
tributed more than any who succeeded
him in establishing a network of oppo-
sition to all government throughout
Europe. During the revolution of 1S4S
he ranked as the most ardent socialist.
In 1S49 he was imprisoned for violating
the press laws. He maintained that
property was Tobbery-"La propriete
with rigid logic, he showed that belief
in the existence of God was incompat-
ible with the liberty of man. THE foun-
dation of all despotism," he wrote. lis
in the belief of the existence of God,
and you must deny, obliterate that be-
lief before you can assert and main
tain liberty" In his writings he labored
hard to place the flesh above the spirit,
and to eliminate from every depart
ment of life all law except the law in
our members. A scoffer of all forms of
belief, and even maintaining that God
was a tyrant and the source of all
tyranny, he consistently admitted that
who ever asserts the existence of God
must, if logical, accept the whole Cath
Ollie system, and acknowledge the au
thority of the Catholic Church" To
the satanic influence of Proudhon,
whose business it was to break away
from the entire past, to reject what
man, in every age, held as sacred, in
word, to destroy all that was, is or may
be, may be justly attributed many of
the evils that has beset Europe during
the present century. In his false anti
religious, revolutionary stories anarch-
lists have found justification for their
dreadful crimes. and that of last Sun
day adds one more to the black list per-
petrated in the name of anarchy.

DR.. DE COSTA ON THE CUSTOM OF
CLAIMING BIBLES.

DR.. De Costa, in the Catholic World
Magazine for August, tells the story of
the chained Bible at Erfurt in 1907:
mo doubt that there was a chained
Bible at Erfurt in 1907. Chained Bibles
were found 200 years later, as chained
directories are seen today in hotels.
The Preface of the pre-Luther German
Bibles stated that the book was for
the use of unlettered simple folk, lay
and spiritual They were quoted free
ly in sermons; and when Luther's edi-
ton appeared, Zwingle, a fellow-re-
former, charged Luther with changing
and mutilating the Word of God, which
was deliberately done in the King
James translation, as the revised edi-
ton now shows. Much of Luther's
translation was plagiarized.
1.-The Bible was published in Rome
before Luther was born, as we'll as in
cities like Naples and Florence. The
Popes contributed to get the Bible into
circulation. In France and Spain many
editions appeared, and it is estimated
that 100000 Bibles were in circulation
when Luther discovered the Bible in
1907. In 1911 Pope Clement had or
dered the establishment Of professor
ships for the study of the Sacred Word;
and Plus VI, in 177S, congratulated the
Archbishop of Florence on his success
in placing the Scriptures in the hands
of the people in their own tongue, as
the Scriptures ought to be left open
to every one' The history of the Popes
is history of Bible advancement.
Adam Clarke, the celebrated Methodist
commentator, declared that the Bene-
dictine Calmet's was, without excep-
ton, the best commentary on the Sa-
cred Writings ever published, either by
Catholics or Protestants.'
Something like the facts of the case
was recognized by an Anglican clergy
man at recent missionary conference
in New York. 1t was admitted that
the giving of the Scriptures to the peo-
pie in their own language was the pol
icy of the Church down to the sixteenth
century, but that the Council of Trent,
in 1916, took "a fatal position in oppo-
sition to the Scriptures. Here is an
other of those falsehoods endowed with
perennial youth. 1t is case calling
for companion picture to that by
Ward. We should have now the

DIR. CARROLL ON THE STUDY OF
LANGUAGES.

DR.. Carroll, president of~St. Joseph's
College, Dubuque, who was recently
very favorably named for the archbish-
opric, writes a scholarly article in the
August Catholic World Magazine, in
which he maintains that the Catholic
colleges should not fall in with the
educational policy that relegates the
classic languages to a secondary place
The spirit of usefulness is pushing aside
the Latin and Greek and substituting
in their stead French and German. 1t
is maintained that the same mental
discipline is acquired in the study OF
the latter languages. But Dr. Carroll
claims such is not the case; experience
has shown that periods of great intel
lectual awakening have always fol-
lowed a classical revival, and that when
taste for the old letters declined there
was felt a corresponding deterioration
in intellectual life. The doctor also
maintains that while modern languages
should not occupy so prominent a place.
as the classics, still they should be
given more Importance than they have.
He says:
From a practical point of view, Ger

time appeal to them in their own Ian

serviceable language for the American

Lower Canada is practically all French,

exception of France, has, besides its
own, another language which serves as
a medium of communication with it's
neighbors and the visiting world gen.
erally-a language which is taught in
it's schools and which ranks in import
ance second only to its own. Invaria-
bly, that language is French. [ don't
say that English has no place on the

the language of commerce; but on the
continent French is the language of in
