VISITOR to Portland ivilhin three
TvceJis that ever) American nill view
with reverence is the famous Liberty
Dell This grand old relic of Independence
days Dill come from Philadelphia under guard
and special escort, and tvill be given a warm
welcome. With its accompanying Philadel
phians, it will be met by special committees,
parades of school children, city officials and
citizens generally. The bell will reach Port
land at 6 A. M. July 15 from the East and
will remain on view here until noon, when it
will leave for San Francisco to be exhibited
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. All honor
will be paid this relic of the Revolution, which
rang out in Independence Mall so long ago to
call the people together to hear the first public
reading of the Declaration of Independence, It
rang out the news, when Washington look
charge of the Colonial Army, and tolled at
his death. It marked in the same way the pass
ing of the chief actors in America's great drama
of the Revolution. The visit of this famous old
piece of metal during July, a month when the
note of patriotism runs highest (and this senti
ment has never been so marked as this year,
save in times of great National stress), is signifi
cant. It will prove an object lesson in Amer-
icanism and will widen the growing National
ism, in which Americans, of whatever birth or
origin, hold this country above all others.
