New York.-The work of the bureau

headquarters has been greatly enlarged
and brought up to date. This is espe-

police as the best and surest method of
making criminal identifications. Al
though the Bertillon system is still In
use by the department, it has to a
great extent been superseded by the
finger print system.
The department has a collection of
more than 10000 finger impressions
of individuals. These prints came from

Predicted Downfall of Thrones.


The Fourth Of July will be cele-

triotism has received new impulses by
the glories of our war with Mexico
and the revolutions among the rotten
and tottering thrones of Europe"
Thus sixty-nine years ago a writer
in a New York periodical voiced his
patriotism. 1t was July 4, 1S48. He
wrote thus:
The Mexican war has been glorious
not so much on account Of its vic
tories and conquests as for the exhi-
bition Of patriotism and heroic valor
and devotion from one end Of the
country to the other. 1t has shown
the power cf a popular government
and taught both the monarchies and
the people of other lands that thrones
and aristocracies and large standing
armies are not necessary to a great
and powerful nation. The right Of
self government is shown to be con-
nected with the power of maintain

who have arrived at years Of discretion
do not exercise discretion for them

The Declaration
Then and Now

IBy PRESIDENT WILSON, in an ad-
dress In Philadelphia
TTAVE you ever read the Declara-
III tion Of Independence? When
you have heard 1t read have
you attended to its sentences?
The Declaration of independence
was a document preliminary to war
1t involved a vital piece Of business,
not piece Of rhetoric. And If you
will get further down In the reading
than its preliminary passages, where
it quotes about the rights of men, you
will see that it is a very specific body
Of declarations concerning the busi-
ness of the day-the business Of reVo-
luton. the business Of 1776.
The Declaration Of Independence
does not mean anything to US merely
in it's general statements unless we
can append to it a similarly specific
body of particulars as to what we con-
slider our liberty to consist of.
Liberty does not consist in mere gen
eral declarations as to the rights of
man. 1t consists In the translation of
those declarations into definite action.
Therefore we ought to ask our
selves. What is there in it for US?
There's nothing in it for US unless we
can translate it into terms Of our own
condition and Of our own lives.
The task to which we have to ad-
dress ourselves is a proof that we are
worthy Of the men who drew this
great Declaration.

INDEPENDENCE SQUARE.
Declarations Birthplace Associated
With Nations History.

Independence square, the most
famous square in Philadelphia, at one
time was known as the Statehouse
gardens, the resort of fashionable city
people.
As soon as the news Of the battle of
Lexington and Concord reached Phila-
delphia more than 5000 of the citizens
assembled in Independence square "to
associate for the purpose Of defending
with arms their property, liberty and
lives" and it was from here that the
first state quota was mustered into
service for the army of the Revolution.
In May, 1776, an immense meeting was
held, Notwithstanding heavy rain, to
consider the authority Of the people
and to form a new government.
All during the civil war Independ-
ence square continued to be the
meeting place of town folk to decide
upon the measures necessary to be
taken to defend the state, and here the
people thronged to celebrate the fall
of Richmond and mourn for Lincoln.
