Mr. Roosevelt's removal of the phrase "In God we trust," from the new ten dollar gold coins just issued has called forth much unfavorable comment. The President in a recent letter to the public gives an explanation which amounts to nothing more than the splitting of hairs. He says that there is no war rant in law for the inscription. Continuing, he. says: "My own feelings in the matter is due to my firm conviction that to put such a motto on coins, or to use it in any kindred manner, not only does no good but does positive harm, and is in effect irreverance which comes dangerously close to sacriligious. A beautiful and solemn sentence such as the one in ques tion should be treated and uttered only with that fine reverence which ne cessarily implies a 'certain exaltation of spirit. Any use which tends to cheapen it, and above all, any use which tends to secure its being treated in a spirit of levity, is from every standpoint profoundly to be regretted. It is a motto, which it is indeed well to have inscribed on our great nation al monuments, in our temples of justice, in our legislative halls and in buildings such as those at West Point and Annapolis in short wherever it will tend to arouse and inspire a lofty emotion in those who look there on. But it seems to me eminently unwise to cheapen such a motto by use on coins, just as it would be to cheapen it by use on postage stamps, or in advertisements." Is there anything in this world not at a discount at certain times and with certain persons? Has it lessened our regard for Washington or McKinley because their pictures may be seen on a postage stamp? There is no written law which requires the keeping of this in scription on our coins, yet custom demands it; and custom, when once es tablished, is strong enough to make any law a dead letter. In fact Black stone gives it as a foundation of law. Let us not quickly depart from the good old customs of our ancestors! - rtytfr Ofhco upstairs in Whitest a't minuing. i;ti'-;' hours from 0 to 1 o'clock and 2 to 5 o'clock.

For several years Republican leaders have talked of currency reform, but no step has been taken. We have disregarded the old adage, "In time of peace, prepare for war." Now that the necessity for expansion is up- ! on us, we must wait for Congres to provide reform. All of this leads us back to the years of "free silver" agitation, which had its beginning in a i period of financial stringency similar to the present. With the coming of prosperity men laughed at the folly of Mr. Bryan's doctrines, and even ! his most zealous supporters were convinced of the impracticableness of his i theories. Whether those theories were entirely wrong remains yet to be i FVpn nnw we are havinar expressions somewhat similar to his. from Congressman Livingston of Georgia: "While the in mediate cause for the financial stringency is the fact that a few rich j people are hoarding a big part of the circulating medium, our present financial troubles cannot be directly traced to this situation. To start with our currency system is all wrong. We are on an international gold basis, when as a matter of fact we ought to have our own individual cur rency system. There is just as much reason for this government's having its own financial system, as there is for the individual tariff system that prevails. Now wouldn't we be in a fine mess if an international tariff sys tem applied alike to the United States, England, Germany and France. whv we should have our own monetary laws. inerc is even mviw There is just so much gold in the world, and when one country gets more than its share, the other countries feel the effect of this situation.

Eight years ago a Southern boy, 19 years of age, whose mother had struggled to give him a fair educa cation, went to New York and secur ed a position at the amount of $8.00 a week involving the superintend ence of laborers putting down pipes in the streets. Notwithstanding the expense of living in New York, this boy paid his way, putting up with many inconveniences and hardships, and found time to devote many hours to study. He determined to know everything that could be learn ed out of books about the line of work in which he was then employ ed. He was at the bottom of the ladder, but he determined to reach the top if study and efficiency could accomplish the result. Unaided, with no backing except his own hon esty, sobriety and devotion to his work, he spent his evenings in the libraries of New York fitting him self by constant study for whatever high position there might possibly be ahead of him. It was but a short time before his efficiency brought a voluntary offer of $1200 a year. When he had been connected with this one company for four years the general superintendent, who was managing the construction of the largest plant of its kind in the world, involving the expenditure of a great many millions of dollars, resigned to take a position elsewhere. He was asked to find a successor, and he rec ommended this young Southern man, then 23 years of age. The owner said he was too young to be given such responsibility, but the superin tendent said he knew more about the business and wa3 more fitted to handle it than any other man in the concern. And so at 23 he was ad vanced and given charge of the con struction of this great plant and his salary advanced to $700Q a year. A year or two later one of the great manufacturing concerns of the country, which supplied a large part of the material for the construction of this plant became so much im pressed with the business ability and efficiency of this young man that after considerable persuasion they induced him to resign and take en tire management of their concern, which employs over 1,000 skilled mechanics and carries on large busi ness operations throughout this country and abroad, offering him as an inducement a salary, of $10,000 a year, and an interest in the business. At 27 years of age, or eight years after he left his home, wibi noequip ment except his good character and a moderate education, this young man i3 partner in one of the most important business houses m the country managing its great opera tions and buliding for himself not only a fortune, but a name for up rightness, integrity and honor, which i3 above all price. The mother, who struggled in his early life to provide for him such opportunities as he had, now finds in this boy a devotion to her and his brothers and sisters equal in strength to the character which he has displayed in the development of business. The Manufacturers' Record tells this story without using names.m or der to emphasize the fat that effici ency, honor and devotion to every duty still find their reward, and like wise to point to the fact that this case illustrates that the opportunities for young men were never greater than today. People talk about the lack of opportunity, about the inabil ity of young men to find advance ment unless backed by wealth and nnwerful friends, but this case, and it is but an illustration of hundreds of others, proves that opportunities are without limit and that the boy's own character is worth in the stug gle for advancement far more than money or rich friends on whom to rely.

With the help of improved machin ery the progressive individual farm er is producing much more than the average farmer did a generation ago and men of this class are keeping up the productive qualities of their farms. They observe certain prin ciples of farm management; they do not sell fodders or roughage; they keep live-stock and grow feed for them, they sell animals and their products, fruit, vegetables, etc. As long as the pioneer on virgin soils grows wheat at prices that have been current the progressive farmer grows little or none. He keeps improved stock that respond to their keeping and that puts on the greatest per cent of meat on the prime parts. He puts all manure promptly on the fields. He rotates his crop. He tile-drains his lands. He keeps up good fences. He has good pastures. He has a good garden. He breeds draft horses and does farm work with brood mares and growing colts.
