MILLION

TWENTY MILLION people viii have seen the Lib
erty Bell this year, when the grand tour Is COM
pleted. Fully 100000 viii have received some
knowledge of the bell through the press and otherwise
Half million school children viii have sung patriotic
songs its honor and in its presence School children IN
hundreds of cities and villages viii have written stories
Of the Bell and recited poems about it.
The American people, as such, have no "shTnes" IN
the that the word is used among many peoples
of other countries Americans 90 worship historic
religious relics in any national sense Yet few
countries in the world could make such mighty demon

inspired by a bulk Of disoolored metal, the
American people have made with their Liberty Bell.
Americans do not approach the Bell as if it
idol They take It literally, for precisely what 1t IS
worth It possesses supernatural powers. 1t hides
oracle It demands sacridcial offerings The
Bel has romantic and well known history. No legend
attaches to it. No tells of any remarkable fact
about It that is not in accord with natural law. Its
tone never was good Il cracked because the metal,
design, and workmanship faulty yet all due allow
Is made for the hard conditions Of existence under
which It produced at all.
It is matter Of fact old Bell 1t had its day. 1t
served its purpose and taken down when It could
ring more. But then it was put in the old state
house at Philadelphia where the revolutionary congress
met, and ever since-now for nearly century-it has
been the object Of popular interest and pgmages For

CARDINAL GIBBONS HAS PATH
In DESTINY OF U. 8.

IN OESllNY OF Y. s.
Speaking at the luncheon following
the Pan-American Mass, His Emf
nence Cardinal Gibbons said: 81 am
not only hopeful, but l feel a certain
assurance that the republic of the
United States will continue for many
generations to come. I base my be-
lief on the genius and good sense of
our public men, the wisdom of our
legislation, so faithfully interpreted
by the supreme court, and on the
patriotism Of our people at large"
"The guarantee of these character
tstics in our nation that the republic
will persevere." continued the Car.
dinal, lis all the stronger because
we are a religious nation. Our con.
stitution was framed under the gui-
dance of Almighty God, sought by the
prayers of those who found their own
wisdom lacking. Our Houses of Con-
gress now open their sessions with
prayer, acknowledging the need of
divine light, and we are all today
openly protesting our independence on
God and our thankfulness for His
bounty. l am willing to leave the
question of preparedness or unpre-
paredness to the prudence of our
public men. The history of their wis
dom is sufficient promise for the fu-
ture.'

In that portion of France now
held by the Germans there are
many nuns, who short time ago
were driven beyond the confines
of their native land by the repre-
sentatives of the Anti-Catholic
Propaganda of France. These
nuns are now administering to
the sick and wounded back of the
German lines. With telling effect
ex-U. S. Senator LATE Young of
Iowa used this fact in answering
French and English papers in
their attempt to create public SEN
timent and excite sympathy for
the allied cause.
The following extracts are
taken from recent address of
Senator Young:

he said, III must tell you that do
not really know what would be-
come of those poor, struggling
and bereft people of the warning
nations of Europe if it were not
for the old Catholic Church, the
Church of Rome. The
Church of Rome is their sole hope
and consolation in their hour of
sorrow and distress"
But there are people in Amer
lea who would tell Col. Young
that those nuns need to be closely
watched in their covents, and
who demand for America that
there shall be convent inspec-

establishments and take care that

which will be proposed to Congress
this winter to give the federal gov.

building of all merchant vessels of
more than 100 tons gross tonnage,

No certificate of inspection could
be issued to any vessel unless the
plans had been approved by the
board.
