“Declaration” at
Last Has Worthy
Permanent Home
Wanderings of Famous Doc
ument Finally Brought
to an End.
Charter of American Liberties
Enshrined in Library
of Congress at
Washington.
Until recently, probably not one
person In a thousand could tell what
had become of America’s most famous
document, the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Very few people have ever
seen It. This Is not surprising, for
since 1804 It has been locked away
from public view In a steel case under
the care of the secretary of stale at
Washington. This had to be done on
account of the serious condition of the
parchment, which had become so dam
aged In Its travels from one place to
another that it was feared it might
eventually fall to pieces.
Hut now the document has beep
placed In a permanent Bhrfnq In. the
library of congress at Washington,
where Americans of future genera
tions will he able to see with their
own eyes this charter of their liberty,
says a writer In the New York Times ,
Magazine. The shrine Itself, a work
of architectural beauty, has been de-’
signed to give the Declaration ns much
protection as possible from risk of
fire and from the danger of deterior&r
tion by exposure to the light.
Enclosed In a metal case in a niche
of marble, the parchment document
Is covered with two sheets of heavy
plate glass, virtually unbreakable, be
tween which there Is n transparent
film of gelntln which neutralizes the
actinic ruys of light, and should pre
sent further fading. Bronze doors,
which can he opened or closed at will,
give further protection to the shrine,
which Is flanked on both sides by
handsome bronze eagles.
Chrlne Worthy of Document.
Gruylsli-hluck York mahle, quarried
rear Plattsburg, N. Y„ forms tJie back
ground of the shrine, which bears In
gold letters the Inscription “The
Declaration of Independence nnd the
Constitution of the United Stntes."
The document of the Constitution
rests In a large case Just beneath the
Declaration, which Is set In the wall
about three feet from the ground, the
whole shrine being surrounded by a
white marble rail.
The shrine was unveiled on Febru
ary 28 by the chief librarian of the
library of congress. The President
was there, with Mrs. Coolldge, the
secretary of state, and many members
of congress, but the ceremony wits
notable by reason of Its simplicity.
Thus quietly and unobtrusively the
Declaration of Independence was
brought, after years of wandering,: to
a permanent nnd appropriate renting
place, where It will remind the thprt
sands who pass before It of the prin
ciples for which our fathers fougfat
and died.
Its migrations under the
war nre In themselves Interesting,'-'and
so hound up with the early
of the country that It Is worth whl.lt
to recall them.
The Declaration, after It was slgnpd,
was given Into the care of Charles
Thomson, secretary of the Continental
congress, und kept In hit office in the
Penney!vunln state house, wblchj aft
erword became known ns lndepend*
ence hall. Within n few months, in
December, 1770, the British forced
Washington hack over the Delaware,
and congress moved to Baltimore, tak
ing the Declaration nnd other
tant papers with It In n light vtagdn.
Forced to Move Again. -
As soon as the British had been
driven hack, congress returned but
was obliged to leave iiguln within nix
months on account of General Howe’s
arrival with largo
This time the government moved to-
Lancaster, Pa., nnd then to York, Pa.,
where the Declaration wps placed foij,
snfety In the courthouse!
On July 2, 1778, It was brought hack
once more to Philadelphia.
days Inter congress ordered tne first
celebration of Independence day,...ex
actly two yearp after the sighing’ of
(he Declaration.
The first year of Its eventful* Jlfyv
had been one of danger and difficulty.
hut by the end of the second yenr vic

ciples set forth In It were well within

parade of the army, a snlute of IS
guns, and cheers for the “Perpetual
and Undisturbed Independence of the
United States of America,” followed
l>y a double Issue of the dally rum ra

These soldiers were the cause of
the Declaration’s next Journey. Clam

pedaratl<pi was taken out of the old
War Office building, and with several
sacks of other records was put In- b
wagon ‘ and driven through George- 4
town to a-barn about two miles above
the old chain bridge across the Poto
mac.
Here the records were kept over
night, but Pleasanton, the State de
partment employee who had charge of
them, was afraid that they might be
discovered, and he took them next duy
another 80 miles to Leesburg, and
gave them Into the care of a minister
named Littlejohn, who hid them until
the Bluish, had left Washington.

Lodged in Patent Office.
In the. meantime, plans for the con-
Rtrrietiuii -of the city had been drawn
up by •■the French architect, L’Enfant,
and many buildings were put up, In
cludlng-Jhe patent office, which was
finished Jn 1841. TJ'ullt of white mar
ble this structure, which still stands
at Seventh nnd F streets, was sup
posed to be fireproof, and accordingly
the Declaration was Transferred here,
with, other historical records, and put
on exhibition.
For the next 35 years It hung there,
exposed'ld the light, arid It was prob
ably during that period that It faffed
so badly, although as far back as 1817
the signatures showed signs of deteri-
—
Fortunately, the Centennial expo
sition In 1870 In Philadelphia drew at
tention loathe state oLjJie manuscript,
an<L oeiraefi'.lt from: totnl deenv. As
one of the features of the celebr&tlqn
the Declaration was once again placed
In Independence hall In a fireproof
safe with a heavy glass door, and at
this time of particular Interest In the
old-historical record Its damaged con
dition aroused much comment. It was
not till 1880, however, that a commit
tee of the American Academy of
Science considered the matter, but be
yond making a report they appear to
have accomplished nothing.
In the meantime Philadelphia had
tried hard to keep the manuscript,
contending that the logical place fpr
It was in the city where It had been
drawn up, but this was not permit
ted, nnd In March, 1877, the Declara
tion was returned, to Washington nnd
exhibited In the library of the State,
War- nnd Navv departments. This
provpd a blessing In disguise for p
few months later The supposedly fire
proof patent office was burned. Stiff,
the document received no special care,
and In'" 1804 It was In such bad condi
tion that It was taken from exhibition
nnd Rocked up in a steel safe in the

‘Were It remained for twenty-seven
years*.. Then In 1921, by order of the
president, It was carried under guard
to the library of Congress, the lost
trip being made by automobile, n very
different mode of conveyance from the
clumsy wagons In which It made Its
first journeys abotft the country. At
the library It was locked up until the
shrine could he prepared for It.
One-hundred and twenty-eight yenrs
of. .Indifferent core have left thel*
marks on the Declaration. Like all
Ptftbnift&tt. It was at first kept rolled',
and as a result of frequent rollings
arid' "lifll'MTlh'gs"ft has' ninny crackqi
Tbqj ttyjt t . is badly faded, but the
process has been uniform and the De<H
lartfao# itself is -legible.
.The. signatures have deteriorated
the most, these having faded much
mqre than the rest of the script. This
Is explained by the fact that the Dec
laration Itself was prepared by an ex
pert, w;ho used the best Ink available.
The signatures, on the .other hand,'
were Inscribed In ordinary Ink and npt
all on 'the same occasion. The, Ink,
too, differed mu£h from the praftaajn
tlon to which we nre accustomed, be
ing in the form of a powder* widely
was mixed with water when needed!
This mixture, varied In strength, ac
cording to the fancy of the user, nnd
lunfcifl, tendency to scale off when dry.'
It Is u fact that many of the signa

have actually faded.
It has been decided not to attempt
any restorqtion of the Declaration,'
and jtygM who ape It now will hpve

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-Root
Judging from report*- from druggist*
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these condition*. The mild And healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
•oon realized. It stand* the highest for
It* remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
tn interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
bo many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, IF you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr,.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
