WHAT AILS OUR
LIBERTY BELL?

We hear from Philadelphia that
something is the matter with the old
Liberty Bell; that the crack in it is
widening and that it appears to be
without resonance or voice. An ex-
pert has been put on the case to
to diagnose the trouble.
Is it possible that the spirit of the
bell has become discouraged and pos
sibly has gone and left nothing but
mass of junk?
Is it possible that the spirit finds
no message from the people--no in
spiration.s to proclaim the voice of
liberty?
Does the bells spirit see the deca-
dence of our freedom; see an economic
tyranny substituted for the feudalism
which was overthrown?
Is its voice muff1ed by the bitter cry
OF children working in the factories?
Is the note of gladness smothered
by the means of widows whose hus-
bands have been offered up to the
commercial Moloch?
Is its spirit deadened by the letn-
argy and dizziness of people who no
longer fight for liberty, but enthrone
the dollar on the altar where the
patriotic fires used to burn?
Look deep, you experts who are to
say what ails our Liberty Bell

est:
A New York city minstrel company
had found hard luck in the West.
Business had been fearful and the
troupe struck Pleasant Valley with
out a cent.
1t was a cold, drizzly night. The
company had arrived late and 1t was
decided to make a street parade at
6 o'clock. Every one was hungry
and there wasn't fortYrfye, cents in
the bunch. They plodded around in
the mud with the cold wind whistling
around their legs. On both sides of
the street were well-lighted homes.
Families eating their suppers could
be seen through the windows by the
tired and hungry minstrels from New
York. ftD!fE9gft
