GREAT SOUTH AMERICAN HERO
Memory of Simon Bolivar WorthiIy
Honored by the Nations He
Served So Well.

Simon Bolivar lived during that
period in the history of mankind when
political revolution was the order of
the day. He was born in Caracas,
Venezuela, July "a. 1888. The Ameri-
can War of Independence had just
then come to an end, and while visit
ing Paris Bolivar had an opportunity
to witness the closing scenes Of the
French Revolution. BY this time the
Spanish colonies in South America
were beginning to make their various
struggles for political Independence,
and when Bolivar returned to his ma
tive lane he soon found himself allied
with the agitators who were strug-
Cling to free their country from the
domination of Spain. He rapidly rose
to a position of great prominence, both
as a statesman and a soldier, and he
was again and again appointed as die
tator until such time as political indie
pendence would be assured. He
achieved the political independence of
three states: Colombia lin 1Sl9),
composed of Colombia, Venezuela and
Ecuador (from which the last two
withdrew in 1890 Peru QS24) and
Bolivia, named after Bolivar (1S25).
When he died, December IL, LEO, he
did not have any public moI.ey in his
possession, although he had had com
plete control of the treasures of these
republics.
