The impudent thieves climbed

Magnificent Than Ever Before
The Jasper news. [volume] (Jasper, Missouri) 1898-1924, 1922-06-29

Of invitations to foreign nations. In
this connection 1t Is interesting to note
that a score Of new governments In
Europe and other parts of the world
have never before had an opportunity
to join In o great international exposi-
ton and may be expected to be eager
to make a creditable showing. Like
wise in the accompanying congresses
and conventions for the discussion OF
world problems noted men possessing
the best minds Of all the peoples OF
the earth may be counted upon TO be
assembled and to- render the occasion
unique in recording the intellectual de-
velopment of the past half-century and
mapping out what is yet to be accom-
plished.
The International phase has been
stressed most aptly by President Har-
ding. who sees new era fittingly sig
nalized Gin which men are putting
aside the competitive instruments Of
destruction and replacing them with
the agencies Of constructive peace"
"All races and nations" he contin.
ues, "have contributed generously to
bring civilization thus far on the way
to realization of the human common
wealth. Each has contributed of Its
especial genius to the common prog
ress; each owes to every other a debt
which cannot too often be acknowl-
edged. This is the one debt which
men may go ON forever increasing,
with assurance that 1t will impose no
burdens, but only add to their pros
! perity and good fortune. We cannot
doubt that the great international ex-
positions heretofore held have done
much to bring TO all mankind a feel
ing Of unity in aspiration and Of COM
munity in effort. Nor can we ques-
ton, think. that in this era Of larger
corporations and unprecedented Gag
erness for helpful understandings.
there is peculiar reason for emphaslz-
ing the thought OF mutual support in
all the enterprises which promise
further advance toward the goal of
universal good"
When the Liberty bell tolled its i'm
perishable proclamation 1t sounded the
death knell Of tyranny In the Ameri-
can colonies, but the peals have ever
since been reverberating over the en-
tire earth and never more effectively
than In the recent years. In 1925, we
may be assured. the Independence hall
with the treasured bell housed In 1t,
cracked though It be. will be the most
sought-after exhibit Of all-the start
ing point OF that freedom Of thought
and action by which man has been en-
abled to advance in $50 years 30 much
farther than he did IN all the centuries
that went before

ficult to convince themselves that the
marvellous changes throughout the
world following in its wake could have
been achieved in so short space of
time. This year the Declaration marks
its one hundred and forty-sixth year,
but already the scenes are being set
for glorious celebration of its sesqui-
centennial, outdoing in impressive mag
nitcence even the epochal Centennial
celebration of 1876.
BY natural sequence, this celebra-
ton is to be held again in the city Of
Philadelphia as the repository Of all
the historic backgrounds and land
marks. Here in Philadelphia is indie
pendence hall, centering the group of
beautiful colonial buildings stretching
a whole block on lower Chestnut
street, fully restored and preserved.
Here the Continental congress held its
sessions and here John Hancock in
scrlbed his name in his big, bold hand
so King George could read 1t without
using spectacles. Here is the famous
Liberty bell that proclaimed the glad
tidings throughout all the land unto
all the Inhabitants thereof" Here are
the quaint desks and wellworn chairs
used by the fathers, and here is one
of the original drafts of our American
Magma Charta In the fine penmanship
of Thomas jefferson with his own In
terlineations and alterations. Here are
innumerable heritages instinct with
the sacred memories of self-sacrlficing
patriots to whom we are indebted for
the achievement of our liberty.
The enduring character of the re-
public thus established has indeed been
INDICATED by the severest tests and
most fiery Ordeals-by the ravages Of
civil war and the burdens borne for
the down-trodden of other lands. Now
after a conflict of intensified fierceness
such as the world never before wit
messed, the principles of liberty upon
which our government has been build
ed and developed shine forth more
clearly than ever as the beacon light
Of new nations whose most ardent as
piration, however envious, is to emu
late our progress and prosperity. If
all this has happened In the period of
$50 years, nay. If most of this advance
has been made in the last 90 years of
the $50, what may we not look for in
the next 90 yearsH And how can we
guide ourselves better In looking ahead
than by reviewing what has been done
through a survey Of past achievements
in the fields Of science, art and indus
try2
This, then, suggests the theme Of
what is planned for the Sesqul-centen
NAL exhibition as the capstone of the
1926 celebration Of the Declaration Of
independence. 1t is to be great WORLD

progress made in the 90 years elapsed

Police Prove Kind
To Destitute
Actress

CHICAGO, Oct. !6.-Her
baby i'll with pneumonia and
her husband deaf and dumb as
the result of a bullet wound,
Mrs. Karland Peck, former
moving picture actress found
the Chicago police authorities
kind today.
Peck told his story to the
authorities when he was taken
into custody. When they
learned that his wife had been
a member of Lila Lees COM
pany, Charles Appel, father of
the star, offered to aid the
destitute family. A collection
at the police station netted $50.
Mrs. Peck came here in
search of work in her old pro-
fession. Peck before n bullet
wound in the neck rendered him
deaf and dumb, was a vaude-
vile singer. Their fourteen
months old baby is in the county
hospital.
