TT is now nearly hundred years
since the United States recog-
nized the independence (from
Spain) of the South American re-
publics. and 1923 will be the centen-
NAL year of the, Monroe doctrine.
Therefore, it was a very appropriate
thing for the city of New York to
dedicate a statue in Central Park to
the memory of the great Bolivar dur
ing the past week.
Simon Bolivar of Venezuela has
been generally accepted as the lib
orator of South America. He fought
the Spanish power in Venezuela, in
Colombia, in Bolivia, Ecuador and
Peru. From 1919 to 1890 he was at
one time or another at the head of
affairs in Venezuela, Colombia. Bo-
livia. Ecuador and Peru. 1t was his
cherished hope to form a great CEN
tralized republic. to be called Colom-
bia, made up of the territory of north
west South America. especially Fene-
zuela and New Gravado, or what is
no" Ola ana EICuduOE.
In 1880 Bolivar had to renounce his
plan for such a league. The separate
entities could not be induced to pool
their interests. Bolivar resigned the
presidency or dictatorship of Eene-
zuela. Colombia and Ecuador the sum-
mer of 1880. His health was already
seriously affected. and he died near
Carthagena. Colombia, on December
II. 1880. 1t was his plan to retire
from South America and end his days
in Europe. He was born at Caracas,
in Venezuela, July "A. 1888. He was
rich man, owning more than thou
sand slaves. He lost the greater part
of his property during the revolution
in Venezuela. but it was part of his
program to free all the slaves.
of Bolivar was placed in Central
Park, New York. That statue has
been removed and there are other
statues here and there in this coun-
try. The new statue, dedicated April
10. is the work of Mrs. Sally James
,Farnham, an American sculptress.
who has had remarkable career.
She early showed talent in being able
to pick up piece of paper and tear
out a perfectly recognizable portrait.
She paid no attention to this gift for
years. Then, finding it extremely de-
went into training for the sculptors
work, and was Immediately success
full 1t is said that Mrs. Farnham
earned 100000 the first year she was
regularly at work.
The description of Bolivar given is
drawn from the memoirs of Gen.
Daniel Francis OLeary. a distin-
guished son of Ireland who was for
years member of Bolivar's military
and civil family.
Bolivar's height was FIVE foot six
inches. English measure. His chest
was narrow. body slight-he was all
legs. His hands and feet were small
and we'll modelled His hair black
fine and curly. He wore his hair long
until 1921, when he began to grow
bald. After that he cut it short. and
most of his portraits show him with
short hair. His whskers and mus
