of the United States in Congress as

Before these acts were passed
Charles Thomson resigned as secre-
tary of Congress. In his letter OF
resignation, July %, 1888. to the
President Of the United States, after
expressing a wish to return to pri-
yate life he said: With this in
tent 1 present myself before you to
surrender up the charge of the books
records and papers Of the late Con-
sress, which are in my custody ana
deposited in rooms of the house
where the legislature assembled, and
to deliver into your hands the great
seal Of the Federal Union, the Keep
ing of which was one of the duties
Of my office, and the seal OF the ad-
miraIty, which was committed TO my
care when that board was dissolved
president Washington replied the
next day, July "a, 1883: You will
be pleased, sir, to deliver the oooks'
records and papers Of the late Con-
eress, the great seal Of the federal
Union and the seal Of the admiralty
to Mr.. Roger Alden, the late deputy
secretary of Congress. who Is request
ed to take charge Of them until further
direction shall be given
'.When Washington informed Jeffer--
son of his selection as Secretary OF
State, October 13, 1888, he said that
Mr.. Alden had in his charge the state
papers. Thus the Declaration OF In
dependence passed to the custody OF
the Secretary of State. 1t has not

capture of Washington by the British,

the papers were moved to Leesburg,
thirty-five miles further away, and
placed in an empty house, where they
were locked up and the keys entrusted

remained for several weeks. not being

RECT1ON OF a shrine in the
~ Library Of Congress, the most
beautiful building in the
world. for the fundamental
archives of the United States govern
ton of Independence and of the Con-
stitution of the United States-where
for the first time they can be viewed
by the public, and easily accessible
to every visitor to the National Cap
ital, is now being planned.
DR.. Herbert Putnam, the librarian
OF Congress, contemplates having a
bronze tabernacle built in the exhibi-
tion corridor over the front door of
the library building facing the Cap
itol. in such a way that these price,
less documents will be protected from
the fading influence Of natural light,
be adequately protected from vandals
and yet so placed that no visitor can
fail to see them.
These originals were until recently
in the custody Of the State Depart
ment, but formally transferred to the
care Of the librarian Of Congress.
They are now in the vaults Of the
Library, while the original fac
simile Of the Declaration, the exact
size on parchment, done by order of
John Quincy Adams. SECRETARY of
State, in 1898. are on public view in
the north exhibition gallery.
The plan is to surround these two
corner stones Of the United States
government with collateral archives.
of which the Library Of Congress al
ready contains priceless collection.
Congress will be asked during the
session now coming in to make the
necessary appropriation for this
work.
THIS establishment Of a repository
for these sacred documents recalls
that when the British invaded Wash
ington and destroyed many Important
papers, these fundamental archives
were hidden away in an old grist mill
on the Virginia side of the Potomac
river. and later in an empty house
near Leesburg, Va, which, therefore.
acquires the right to claim that for q

nation.

the promise held out in a letter re-

will result it will unquestionably fol-
low that authorities will be better
able to handle lawlessness on the in

ernor Campbell on receipt of word
from Governor Elias. Active In
bringing this about, Governor Camp
bell was particularly pleased with the
willingness of Governor Elias to ex-
ercise his authority in the interests
and to the protection of the United

In receipt OF numerous complaints
from cattle growers residing in the
Ineighborhood of the border concerning
heavy losses of cattle. horses and
mules. the governor asked co-opera-
ton in the suppression of cattle
stealing. The reply not only gave
promise of offering protection from
