THE OLD LIBERTY BELL.
History of This Relic of the RsvoIu.
ticnary Patriots.

tiC1dFF FEtFt1I5s
0vervigorous ringing of the old Lib
erty bell man years ago on the occa-
sion of the celebration OF the Declare
tion of Independence was what put
the crack in it and forever destroyed
It's resonant tone. 1t wns cast by Pass
& Stow In Philadelphia and hung in
the belfry of the now historic state
house In lower Chestnut street early In
June, 1853. 1t contains 2.oSo pounds
of metal.
Near the top OF the bell were csst
the words proclaim Liberty Through
out All the Land Unto All the Inhabit-
ants Thereof" Prophetic OF It's des-
tiny, this gave it the name Liberty
bell.
When the British army marched on
Philadelphia In 1777 the bell was TAX
en- down by patriots and carried OF In
the night to Allentown In order that
it might not fall into the hands of the
enemy. In 1881 1t was returned to the
tower of the statehouse.
For more than half a hundred years
thereafter the bell was rung and hon
ored on Independence day every year
before the crack appeared In 1t. An
effort was made to restore its tone by
saving the crack wider. but this prov
ed of no avail. The bell was finally
removed from the tower to a lower
story of the ~statehouse and used only
on extraordinary occasions. Suisse
quently It was rugged up on It's origi-
nal timbers In the vestibule. In 1893
it was exhibited at the Columbian ex-
position in Chicago.

| standard. With David alone king,
the Philistines began to fear his
| strength and sent an army down to
| attack him. David's army won twice,
at B%oalperazim and in the famous
battle of the mulberry trees. Mt.
Zion was then taken and Jerusalem
became henceforth the capital of the
kingdom.
"a newly elected officer deserves
the sympathetic interests of his con-
~stituents. He should be supported
In all. his efforts to advance the In
.~teresfs of the people, to enforce the
law and to fulfill his pledges. After
he Is elected IL no time to consider
the problems anew and reconsider
his pledges. Then is the time to full
fill them, not to debate them.
What Party Man Said.
"a member of the present COVER
nor's party said, The governor had
no business to carry out the pledges
of the platform; they were not
meant to be carried out, nobody ex-
|pected him to carry them out and
they ought not to have been carried
out. NOW a few ear ago it vas
supposed that an officer ought to
carry out his pledges. OF course
they did not, but then no one said
they ought not. The governor has
thus brought out a new declaration
or confession concerning party
pledges.
can officer should study the ideals
and functions OF his Office and see
how far it has deviated from the
| original Intention. A sheriff is the
chief executive of the county and is
/, much more than an executioner, a
court official and jail keeper.
How to Gain Distinction.
"a member OF the legislature
might distinguish himself by taking
an interest beyond the welfare OF
his particular party, by being more
than a committeeman.
San ambition to gain a higher
office by distinguished service Is q
worthy ambition.
"Any one Of four officers could
take the initiative in the enforce
ment of the excise law in this city
for example. 1t might be a very
hard thing to accomplish, but 1t also
| might win him a distinction that
would be worth while.
David had to face three obsta-
| cles. the unsubdued tribes, a rival
king and the Philistine antagonist.
So every man, II he would be king
of his life, must subdue the vestfges
of the old evil, animal nature in
him; he must overcome one after
another the rivals of religious life;
and he must conquer the ~areh-enemy
of his soul. Then he is free because
he Is Gods. He is king Of his own
life because his allegiance is to the
King of Kings.

relating on the witness stand that she
had called him a Cur on the day of
the riot when, according to her testi-I
mony, she saw him humping Mrs. Ku-
ziels face onto the pavement. In ad-.
dition to OkraJ, Captain Barnie John
son and Officers Kulcyk and Kamp
testified. their testimony being to the
effect that Miss Brooks precipitated a
riot, or raised h-ll," as Officer Okraj
put it. and that she slapped Okraj in
the face when he put her under arrest.
Miss Brooks ON Stand.
Miss Brooks was an excellent wit
ness in her own behalf. Her testi-
mony was such as to picture her the
unflinching heroine of the downtrodden
taxpayers, who revolted because of the
authority vested in them by the presi-
dent OF the village board. John Hess
Ter.
Officer okrai may not know how
strong he is. but he put his hand on
my back and neck with such force as
to hurt me; but not enough with that,
he kicked me-" she said, and when 1
slapped him In the face it was but a
primitive action, an instructive mo-
ton, which anyone would make when
attacked from the rear. When / saw
him thump poor Mrs. Kuziel's face on
the ground. L couldn't stand it any
longer, and 1 cried out to him. You
dirty cur. stop that and I'm glad I
called him that"
Plenty Of Comedy.
AT other times during the progress
of the trial the situation was not quite
so tense. officer Okraj stated a num-
Der of times that Miss Brooks was
raising h--n," but finally Attorney
Alling objected on the ground that the
witness drawing conclusion as
he did not know what hades was like.
Judge Green, whose face was like a
marble sculpture of dignity through
out the whole proceeding, sustained
the objection.
Comedy of the richest kind oozed
through the cold and staid court pro-
cedure in the examination of the ju-
rors. Attorney Alling was anxious to
seat some of Miss Brooks followers,
while Attorney Belinski found suffi-
cient reason for dismissal in a pro-
spective Jurors admission that he was
a believer in Miss Brooks preach
ments in her newspa per, the Search

BABE IS SHAMEFUllY
NEGLECTED BY PARENTS
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Indiana Harbor, April A pitiful
case was brought to the attention of
the police in that of a four weeks old
baby, born out of wedlock, and ne
elected by its mother, who. according
to the testimony of neighbors and to
the observations of Sergeant Frank
Barker who Investigated the case,
spends much of her time drinking and
corusinE.
The parents of the little waif are Ju-
lien Gasivnas. aged "a, and Katie Ma
chuta, 20 years old, who have lived to-
gether for over a year, although the
woman has husband in Chicago. Four
weeks ago a child was born to them
and not long ago the mother left the
helpless infant with no one to look
after it, and was gone three days. The
father of the child appealed to the
neighbors and woman living near by
offered to care for the little one until
its mother should return. or until such
time as other provision should be made
for 1t.
In the meantime the neighborho God
was scandalized and some one finally
related the circumstances to Chief OF
Police Albert Lewis, who detailed Ser
geant Barker to investigate
The officer found conditions in the
domicile of the child's parents to be
pretty bad and such as no child should
be reared in, and arrested both the
mother and fatehr of the little one
The baby abs been taken to Crown
Point where 1t will be provided for.
In the meantime the parents were
tried by Judge Riley and sent to the
Jail at Crown Point on a fine of SIS
each and a sentence of thirty days in
jail. Not being able to pay their fines
it will mean imprisonment for two
months for each of them. The father
declares he is willing to support the
child. but he does not wish the mother
to have the care of it.

an advantageous perch on chairs and
tables and window sflls from where
they could look over the heads of

men for a place of vantage to catch
every remark.
Police Testify.
officer John Okraj of the West Ham
mond police force being the complain
ing witness, was the first to testify.
The essential statement in his testi-
mony was that Miss Brooks slapped
him in the face. He related the whole
circumstance with all the narrowing
details even saying that Miss Brooks
had stuck out her tongue at him. Miss
Brooks. who sat beside her attorney
fidgeted just a bit when accused OF
this unIadylfke action. but got even
with the officer for this accusation by
