lite President Explains.
Yyashington, Nov. 13. In an
swer to one of the numerous pro
tests which have been received
at the White House agains; the
gold coins which have been coin
ed without the word3 "In Gold
We Trust," President Roose
velt had written a letter which
he to-day made public. Thd let
ter follows:
"When the question cf the
new coinage came up we looked
into the law and found there way
no warrant therein for putting
'In God We Trust' on the coins
as is the custom, although with
out legal warrant and gro.vn
up, however, I might have felt
at liberty to keep the inscription
had I approved of its being on
the coin. But as I did not ap
prove of it, I did not direct that
it should again be put on. Of
course th'j matter of law is abso
lutely in the hands of Congress
and any direction of Congress in
the matter will be immediately
obeyed. At i r sent as I have
s lid there is no warrant in lavir
for the inscription.
DOES NO GOOD.
"My own feeling in the matter
is due to my very firm conviction
tha; to pjt such a motto on coins
or to use it in any kindred man
ner, not only does no good, but
does positive harm, and is in ef
fect irreverence, which comes
dangerously close to sacrilege.
I A beautiful and solemn sentence
such as the one in question
j should b treated and uttered
ioniy with that fine reverence
! which necessarily implies a cer
itaiii exaltation of spirit. Any
use which tends to cheapen it,
jand above all, any use which
! tends to secure its being treated
region will be immediately put
into effect, but 1 very sincerely
hope that the religious Isentiment
of the country, the spirit of rev
erence in the country will pre
vent any s ich action being tak
en.
"Theodore Roosevelt."
