THEN.


Seventy years ago today the
Liberty Bell tolled for the last time.
on that day il was proclaiming the
nations grief over the death of Chief
Justice John Marshall whose body was
being taken from Philadelphia 10 its
final resting place in Virginia. Sud-
denly. the tone OF the bell changed,
became muffled as with grief. The
bell-ringer hurried to the towe. OF the
State House. He found n great cracS
i'm the side of the bell. In the circum-
stance many professed To see a fitting
climax to one OF the most important
epochs in the nations history. Fifty
nine years before the bell had rung out
the glad tidings that the Declaration of
Independence had been signed and
adopted-this day its tongue forever
became silent during the funeral serv
ices OF Chief Justice Marshall. the
last of the signers of the Declaration,
associates. once before the bell had
cracked. Made in England at the or
der and expense of the Colony of
Pennsylvania, il was brought to Phil
adelphia in 1853 where it was given its
first test for tone. The first blow of
the clapper made n wide crack in the
bell. y Philadelphia firm offered to
recast it and rather than wait for it's
return from England the Colonists
turned it over to them. The foundry
men thought to increase the sweetness
OF its tone by increasing the proper
ton OF "copper" but they deadcned the
tone so that 1t could hardly be heard. |
Again the bell was recast and il prov
ing successful this time it was hung
in the State House steeple where the |
following eishty-two years its tongue
heralded every important national
event

BUILDING UP THE COMMUNITY.

The dollars spent with the home
merchant are the dollars that help to
build up the community. Nobody ever
heard Of mail order house in a dist
ant city making a contribution for the
Improvement OF this town. The mer-
chant in the city pays nothing towards
the support OF the school in which our
children are educated, nor for the sup
port Of the churches in which our peo-
pie worship. In fact, the dollar sent to
the merchant in the big city is gone
forever SO far as any good to your
community is concerned.
Is it fair TO deprive the home mer-
chant Of your cash trade and thus
deprive the community Of the benefits
10 be derived from Keeping this money
at home? Civic pride il virtue to
which that citizen can not rightfuny
lay claim who makes practice OF
sending away from home his purchases
just for the sake of saving a few PEN
MES on each.

HORSE FLINDERS HARMFUL.
Society for Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals Issues Protest.

Binders for horses, instead of help
ing towards the safety, comfort, and
well-being Of the animal, are instru-
ments OF horse torture and should be
abolished, according to the monthly
bulletin OF the American Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
The bulletin explains that binders are
wrong in principle and calculated to
make horses blind in very fact, rath-
er than to protect them from start
ling sights that might otherwise make
them try to shy" or stampede.
we know not who invented this in
strument OF horse torture" says the
bulletin, but we know that he did not
understand the anatomy and physiol-
ogy of the eye of a horse. Human
vision is binocular-that is. we see
the same with both eyes-and so adj
just the axis OF vision that the object
appears single though seen with both
eyes. But the eyes OF the horse are
placed on both sides or the head and
the axis of each eye is nearly at right
angles with the longitudinal line OF
the body, so that it is impossible that
the same object can be seen distinct
ly with both eyes. Now, by binding
the eye in the direction in which II
was intended i'm its construction that
IL should see, the horse is forced to
use an oblique vision, as IL we should
cover the front of our optics and be
compelled to see only by the corner Of
our eyes.
This unnatural and constrained
use of the eye must. to q greater or
less extent, impair vision. if not en-
tirely destroy it. The object for which
the blind bride is used is not accom-
p!lshed by II. a horse is more read
lily frightened when he cannot see the
OBJECT OF his dread than If he can have
a fair view OF it. But il is surprising
10 observe with what tenacity men
mold on to an absurd and cruel prac-
tlce when moments reflection would
teach them better Nineteen out OF
every twenty horses you see in har-
ness nave blind brides on, and ~ |
you ask the owner to explain it's hem
ehts or why he uses it he cannot give
you rational answer. We are not
surprised that our draft horses are
subject to diseased eyes-we wonder
mat they are not all blind"

Liberty Bell Tolled for Last
Time 70 Years Ago Today
Now.


Today Liberty Bell lies in state in
the State House in Philadelphia where
it's first clarion peal of liberty rams
out. 1t is one of the nations most
reserved relies and every year thou
sands OF pilgrims from all parts of the
country visit this shrine. Before IL was
placed in its present glass case one
might often see distinguished men,
women and patriotic school children
put out their hands to touch the sacred
relic. 1t was with a similar feeling
that President Taft once visited it, and
after gazing at it for some moments
earnestly exclaimed: II would love to
just lay my hand upon the BELL His
wish was readily granted, the guioc
having the case opened for the distin-
guished visitor. Six times has the ven

PLIGHT OF BRITISH WIVES.

Considerable excitement has been
caused in Great Britain-not in sufrra-
gette circles, either-by the British
Nationality and Aliens bill. which has
just been favorably reported 10 the
House Of Commons.
This bill states that any woman who
is a British subject shall, if she mar
ries an alien, become an alien, nor
shall she by reason Of the death Of
her husband cease 20 be an alien. Cur
ious as il may seem, it was the
worthy intention OF the trainers of the
bill TO protect English women by prac-
tically prohibiting them from marrying
foreigners II was argued that il would
make no difference To a woman who
married a citizen Of a country whose
laws were at least as liberal as those
of Great Britain, but would cause her
to pause before marrying a Turk or
Persian.
The bill, however, is capable Of
working i'm another way, for any Brit
ish woman who marries a British sub
ject may at any time during the mar
riage be made 10 forfeit her British
nationality should her husband mean
while change his status. AS nation
allied Turk he may place her in
harem; as an American he can, il he
be a resident of some states, divorce
her by methods unrecognized by Eng
lish law, but to which she, being no
longer a British subject. is amenable,
and as a Frenchman he can gain con-
troll Of her property. In one of the ar
guments against the bill the following
is presented:
There are besides in the East End
Of London and I'm other cities at our
ports, many Englshwomeu who are
the wives Of foreigners. often Poles,
Russians. and sometimes even Chi
nese. Large numbers OF French and
German subjects reside In our midst
and marry. In many cases their wives |
are not at first aware that they are
uniting themselves TO aliens until the !
loss Of some English right or privi- |
lege makes them realize their sad posi- !
ton. Throughout our empire the num-
bcrs OF British subjects who become |
the wives Of men Of Colored races are !
very large These women have urgent |
need for the protection Of our laws |
and should not be cast from citizen
ship Of our empire except by their own /
desire. We ask, therefore, that every !

C.O.P.V|CTORYI IN
FALL PREDICTED
Rely on Tariff Opposition to Win
In Congressional Elections

Washington, July S.-Leaders OF the
Republican party here who have been
canvasslng the congressional situation
say they are confident that next fall
ninety-three Republican congressman
will be elected To seats now occupied
by Democrats or Progressives. In
many other districts they assert they
have good fighting chances.
There are now l29 Republicans in
the House. This success in the fall
campaign will give the Republican
party 222 members out OF the total
membership OF 1876.
Republicans Confident OF Victory.
The confidence Of the Republicans
that they will have a majority i'm the
next Congress is based upon three
features of the situation:
One-That many Democrats now oc-
cupying seats i'm the House are ac-
knowlcdged accidents" who slid in
on the Wilson boom.
Two-That the Progressive vote will
be light and that the OBJECTIONS from
that party will be to the Republican
ranks. as shown by several recent by
elections.
Three-That there is in many states
widespread dissatisfaction with the
Democratic party because Of the effect
of the tariff on local industries.
New York Expected to Head List.
New York is expected to furnish the
largest number OF the new Republican
recruits, Pennsylvania next and ILL
'nois third. 1t is said confidently that
the Democrats will elect at most one
congressman i'm Connecticut.
The recent election in West Virginia
is cited as an example OF how the bull
moose vote is going to pieces Roose-
welt received 1900 votes in that state
in 1912, while i'm the recent by-election
the bull moose candidate got only
300.
Similar results are pointed to in by
elections in Iowa, New Jersey and
Maine.
Roosevelts Personality Factor.
The Republicans admit that the per-
sonality OF Roosevelt will be factor
in the coming campaign.
But he can only be in one place
at time" they add.
There is an open revolt against the
Democratic party in Louisiana because
of the damage done to the sugar BUSH
ness by the Democratic tariff, and the
Democrats are expected to lose cou-
pie of members there. They will be re-
placed by Progressives, however, there
being no Republican party that far
south.
Two Republican members are ex-
pected to be elected in North Carolina.
where there is much dissatisfaction
among the operators Of the cotton
mills.
These OBJECTIONS i'm the solid
south are referred to as proof of the
tremendous political effect of tho
tariff

Minnesota was one OF the states IN
which the Bull Moose party was espe-
cially strong in 1912. Roosevelt car
ried the state and the Bull Moose cam
didate for governor in that year polled
in the primary SS.455 votes. Last June
l6 another state primary was held. In
that primary the Bull Moose candi-
date for governor polled out ASA
votes. Under the law of Minnesota,
that was not sufficient TO give the par
~ place on the ballot AT the cleo
ton. II is necessary under the law for
the party TO get place on the election
ballot by petition just as a new party
must do. But the Republican state
officials have been lcnient and have
agreed To waive the provisions of the
law and allow the Bull Moose candi-
date n place unless some voter takes
the case into the courts and secures
an injunction preventing the printing
OF the name But the important fea-
ture is that the Bull Moose vote drop
ped from 33,455 votes in 1912 TO 2.S74
in 1914. Meanwhile the Republican
vote cast in the primary was lS9,O97
and the Democrat 42,775.

THE BOMB ThRoWERS.

In various sections of the countr!
there are unerring indications that
bomb throwers are becoming unduly
active. New York, afflicted for several
years by black hand criminals who
used dynamite for the purpose OF
proving that they meant business, fin
ally awoke TO the necessity of captur-
ing and convicting those who we're
terrorizing their honest fellow coun-
trymen. and for a season made the
combination OF murder, abduction ana
eXtortion Improbable.
There are mercurial aliens IN this
country who believe that the only way
alleged wrongs may be righted is

THE MODERN WAY

Have you ever seen how we
handle hard coal at our dock
before we deliver It into your
bins?
It's an interesting and com.
plieate proposition.
When a boat comes in, our
big electric holster gets busy
at once with its big seven ton
bucket, which, by the way, is
the heaviest on Portage Lake.
The bucket automatically picks
up between three and four tons
Of coal at time and makes two
trips minute from the vessel to
the storage shed.
The storage shed holds com.
fortably a winters supply.
1t has big tunnel under the
Hoor through which a man can
walk. Through the tunnel an
endless conveyor runs which
carries the coal sixty feet into
the air TO a screening and sizinq
room. On reaching the top OF the
screening room, the coal passes
through fine, revolving screens
each Of which takes its own size
Of coal, namely; egg, stove.
chestnut, pea and screenings.
After che coal leaves the
screens, It slides into bio bins
and is ready to be loaded into
cars or wagons. AS the coal
comes out Of the bins II passes
over another screen which re.
moves whatever screenings NAV
have accumulated from break.

Count Ferdinand Won Zeppelin the

Wurttemberg, July s, 1898. He en-
tered the military service in his
youth and when the American civil
war began he was sent to the United
states to serve as military attache
and observer for the government of
Wurttemberg. Soon after his return
to Germany he participated in the
war between Prussia and Austria and
four years later he DISTINGUISHED him
self in the war with France. Count
Zeppelin retired from active military
service in 1891 and has since devoted
himself to the study and development
OF aerial navigation. Though more
than dozen of his great dirigible
balloons met with disaster, nothing
could shake Count Zeppelin's conf
dence in his ultimate success. He also
succeeded in inspiring the German gov
eminent with sufficient confidence to
grant him a liberal subvention. In re-
