The Liberty Bell.

The Philadelphia council yesterday
decided to send the old herald Of our
national liberties, the Liberty bell, to
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st. Louis.
The venerable relic which, in it's old
age, has been an object of deep public
interest at several expositions north
and south during the last twenty-five
years, is now booked for an extensive
trip thru a dozen states and territories
west of the Mississippi which were in
cluded in the original Louisiana pur-
chase, that the people may look upon
the historic relic and recall the day
when, in Philadelphia, it emphasized
thru it's stalwart iron throat the sign
ing of the Declaration of, Independ-
ence and made a proclamation of
Liberty thruout the land unto all the
Inhabitants thereof"
The Liberty Bell must needs pass
thru Minnesota, a large portion Of
which lay under the Spanish and
French flags successfully, before.
Lausat, the agent of Napoleon, form
ally transferred the vast territory of
Louisiana to the commissioners of the
United States, Governor Claiborne Of
Mississippi and General James Wilin-
son of the United States army.
Louisiana acquired, Governor Clai-
borne with much emphasis declared to
the legislature in 1905, that "the
Mississippi will cease to flow before
Louisiana shall cease to be a part of
the American union"
Thru the state Of Louisiana and
| thru the other states which once COM
historic Liberty Bell' will travel with
frequent pauses to permit the inhabit-
ants of the land to behold the pro-
claimer and prophet Of their liberties,
and read in such object lesson the ma
tional obligation upon all citizens to
be alert as against all real encroach-
ments on their constitutional liberties.
Occasionally one notes in the press
some disposition to joke over the
sending of the Liberty Bell to expo
sitions and to belittle it's Importance
as a historically suggestive relic. This
betokens a very Objectionable spirit
which, however is not influencing the
public mind to any serious extent The
revival Of interest in our revolution
airy struggle since the centennial ex-
position Of 1875 has deepened the
genuine interest in the study of thai
period and has shown more correctly
the underlying motives of the dis.
tinguished men who signed the De.
claration of independence and heard
the Liberty Bell ring out it's pro.
| clamatiOn.

teens. may also say that in every ma
tional home a canteen is maintained.
The public will, no doubt, be interested
to know the exact financial expenditures
that have been made for the Home and
for the relief fund, and the sources
from which the money was derived:
The Soldiers Home property has cost
the state of Minnesota over $350,000. The
cost of maintenance from the establish
ment of the Home to the end of the fiscal
the receipts from pensions were s114,-
949.S3, and the allowance from the United
States government was 1926, 08180; the
cost to the state of Minnesota being $780,
l77.45 in excess of the pension payments
and the government allowance
The expenditures for relief during the
same time have been s7O9, 1862, making
a total net expenditure by the state of
81, 459,324.27, or almost five times the
amount contributed by the government.
Mr.. Lind's solicitude for the good name
of Minnesota Is not warranted. He ought
to spare his nervous organism, for this is
campaign year. We are proud of what
has been accomplished. Other states are
copying our plan and following our ex-
ample
| During the sixteen years in which the
| foregoing amount was expended, twenty
different men have served upon the board
! of trustees and superintendent this great
work without salary or per diem All of
| the governors of the state with two ex-
| ceptions were soldiers of the civil war
| Vouchers are on file in the office Of the
auditor of state for every cent that has
been expended
Now, the cruX of the whole matter
seems to be this: Mr. Lind is overwhelm-
ingly disturbed because, as he says, with
his usual inaccuracy, that Minnesota does
not hold up the government for $4,000. The
fact is, that for years, the amount has
tbeen about $4,000, and to get this $780,
the state of Minnesota, either by direct
appropriation, or by stripping the relief
fund. must add $13,500 to the amount al
ready, expended by the state. for the
maintenance of the Home to make up the
loss from pensions. These agitators look
upon the relief fund with longing eye,
but the condition of that fund, and the
imperative demands upon it, admonish the
trustees that no further aid can be Sc
cured from it to the support Of the Home.
The new rule respecting government aid,
l.if it takes effect July l next, as I pre-
sumo it will, will cause loss in our rev.
enue of $4,000 before it can be made
good by the legislature. This means that
the character of the maintenance of the
Home shall either be reduced, or The pop-
lulations lessened. "A 5-S.s H fowler.

According to the PioneeS Press it is
contemplate trick for the public
examiner to show from the rec
ords Of the auditors office that
the last state auditor failed to protect the
interests Of the state to the extent of at
least $4,000. 1t was also a mean political
trick, no doubt, for the public examiner to
collect from the railroad and other public
corporations as much more that no prevl-
Gus examiner had. ever collected in the
way of taxes due the state. The public
examiners mean tricks are interesting, to
say the least.

Mr.. Dunn is quoted by morning paper

Mr.. Dunn is quoted by a morning paper
as saying Of the public examiners report
that .'it Is an exparte statement bolstered
up by the alleged evidence of man who
does not know pine tree from a bass
wood" The evidence Of only three people
is given in the report; they are Dedon.
Mitchell and Fullerton, all Of whom were
in Mr.. Dunn's employ as lumber experts.
Mr.. Dunn complains that the report is
made by man whom he, in common with
many others, would not believe under
oath. This refers to the public examiner,
no doubt. AS it happens, however, the
veracity Of the public examiner Is not
likely to be tested in this connection. So
far as these matters are concerned, it
doesn't make any difference, apparently,
whether the examiner is liar or not The
records Of the auditors office are all
that interest the public, and these are to
be the basis Of the proposed suits to re-
cover money due the state. Clearly, Mr..
Johnsons offense is that he has dug up
the records.

George Gunton, editor Of Gunton's
Magazine, says: What the nation wants
to-day is business stability, and it wants
president who can be relied upon not to
be a business disturber." There are no
doubt certain kinds of business that do
not want to be disturbed. The beef trust
does not wish to be disturbed, the merger
would have preferred to have been let
alone, the anthracite trust got mad when
the president suggested that they submit
their quarrel with their employees to a
commission. Mr.. Gunton is partly right
about 1t; but it isn't the nation, it's GER
tain interests that are particularly down
on disturbers. The nation really wants
a little disturbing done in the right way
and in the right places once in while and
it will not elect a man who is not believed
to be the right kind of a disturber.
