should be permitted to travel any more appears to
be about DUE and just now, when the anniversary
of the nations independence is upon US, is rea
sonable time for discussion of the matter.
Wilfred Jordan, curator of the independence
Hall Museum, measured the second crack before
the bells last journey and then measured it again
after it's return. He found that it had increased
in length to slight degree.
No one knows just when this second crack
occurred and opinions differ; but compared to
the old crack it is of recent origin and is dis
tnctly visible. Mr.. Jordan, however, was the first
to call attention to long and almost invisible
extension of the second crack and finds that it
now reaches one-third way around the bell, from
the end of the old original fracture, which was
chiseled out in 1876 in an attempt to make the
bell sound properly.
Putting an end to the bells pigrimages would
in no sense at all be due to a Discrimination OF
the people councils of Philadelphia to allow the
west to view and possess the sacred relic even
for a short time. Indeed Philadelphia would be
only too glad to send it, for since the bell has
already helped by it's travels to lessen the Sec
tional feelings between the north and south, so It
would help unite the citizens of our republic who
live on the Atlantic seaboard with those who live
on the Pacific.
Little do either sections realize how intimately
the bell is connected with the contamination of
our nation early political ideals and with the
fondest of its impulses in Colonial days. This old
bronze relic not only helped to proclaim lnde-
pendence, but for years before 1176 rang loud TO
celebrate the hopes of the people and rang low
| to intone their woes!
Upon its sides is this inscription:
| And proclaim liberty throughout all the land
| unto all the inhabitants thereof."-Lev 20, 10.
| strange Providence indeed wrote that inscription
on its crown many years before its throbbing
Changers and melodious eloquence had aught at
| all to do with liberty!
Announcing proclamations of war and treaties
| of peace; welcoming the arrival and bidding God
] speed to departing notables: proclaiming some
! accession Of the English royal family to the
throne and the secession therefrom of the Ameri-
i can colonies! Its more customary use, however,
| vas to call the members of the assembly OF Penn
| ylyauia together at the morning and afternoon
sssions and to announce the opening of the

Balboa, driven from home by his

1900. To him belongs the credit for

1t was while officials of this country
were debating routes that France
stepped in and for % years, or until
1904, succeeded in controlling opera
tions. The failure Of several French
companies is we'll known. Congress
on March 3, 1899, passed an act au-
thorizing the president to appoint a
commission to make complete inves-
tigation with view to constructing
canal. This commission consid-
cred principally the Panama and Mic
aragua routes.
In 1901 it reported in favor of the
Nicaragua route, considering the de-
mands of the New Panama Canal
Company for its franchise and prop
erty more than balanced the advan-
tages of the Panama route. In 1902
the commission made supplemental
report in favor of the Panama route,
and recommended a lock canal. Con
gress then passed the "Spooner act"
authorizing the president to proceed
with the work on the Panama canal
