The Position of the Free Press as Il

poets of remaining for a good many
years to come.-Victoria Review.
We had not thought of being PM
in this light, yet there is a con-
siderable modicum of truth in the
above. We are not one of those
"summer soldiers who gush over with
zeal in the advocacy of great moral
reforms one year, only to go back the
next to the "weak and beggarly Gle,
ments" of clap-trap politicians, ''lke
the dog to his vomit." Nor are
we of that style of temperance adj
vocates who went for prohibition
in 1887 and in 1883 meekly submit
ted to the gag sought to be imposed
on prohibition democrats by a junta
of political tricksters posing as
self-appointed inquisltors OF men the
latchets of whose shoes they were
not worthy to unloose. Still, we have
no ambition to be leader, but are
content to remain an humble worker
in the cause. We are welded to no
particular theory and stand ready to
cooperate with all who are earnestly
fighting the giant evil of intern
perance and the public liquor traffic.
At the same time we are free to con-
fess that we can see no effective
remedy bat prohibition, and hence
still continue to advocate it.

DR.. MayO,s Lecture.

An unusually large audience as
sombled to hear DR.. Mayo upon the
subject,
''DoEs UNIVERSAL EDUCATION PAY!
Mayor Broiles introduced Super
intendent Hogg, who in turn intro
duced DR.. Mayo. Superintendent
Hogg prefnced his introduction with
several couplets of facts. Said he:
Il not only feel pleasure but pride
in being permitted to introduce DR..
Mayo, of Boston, to the audience, for
he remembered that while ThoOas
Jefferson, a Virginian, wrote the De
claration of Independence, that the
first signer was John Hancock, OF
Massachusetts. That John Adams,
of Massachusetts, named in the con-
tinental congress that George Wash
ington, of Virginia, be declared the
commander-in chief of all the forces
to be raised for the war of indepen-
dence. That Mr.. Jefferson had said:
IF the press is free and every man
able to read all is safe" That George
Peabody, a Massachusetts man. had
given since the terrible war by which
the Southern people, the people OF
Virginia had been devastated, q suf-
fcieut sum OF money for education in
the South to yield since 1868 S1,75O,-
900. That Virginia alone had re-
ceived S250,00O of this money. That
Texas had received 1920, $50, an
eighth of the whole. That there was
a fitness and q sentiment in this in
PRODUCTION that he felt proud of.
DR.. Mayo began after explaining
the meaning of the term universal
education by saying:
l. Education pays by informing
the mind of childhood and youth.
>. BY training the character
through the discipline and instruc-
ton of tue school and the example Of

"IN GOD WE TRUST"
How This Motto Came to Be Stamped O
 United States Coins.


 The motte sIn God We Trust.n which is now stamped on all gold and silver coins of i United States money, was suggested hyan honest, God-fearing old farmer of the State of Maryland. This conscientious Christian thought that our National coinage should indicate the Christian character of our Ma tion, and by introducing motto upon our coins expressed a National reliance on Dr. vine support in our governmental affairs. 1 In 1861, when Salmon r. Chase was Secrc- | tary of the Treasury, he wrote him and l suggested that, as we claimed to be a 1 Christian people, we should make suitable recognition of that fact on our coinage. | The letter was referred to the Director of | the Mint, James Pollock a Puritanic Chris. tian, of Pennsylvania. In Mr Pol. locks report for 1862 he discussed the 1 question of q recognition of the sovereignty of God and our trust in Him on our coins l The proposition to introduce motto upoG our coins was fayorably considered by Mr. Chase, and in the report he sald he did not doubt, but believed that 1t would me ct with an approval by an intelligent public sentiment. But Congress gave no attcu- 1 ton to the suggestion. and in his next an- nual report he again referred to the sub. ject, this time i'll firm theological areu. |
 The motto suggested, God Our Trust is taken from our National hymn, The Star Spanglcd Banner The sentiment is familiar to every citizen of our country; It has thrilled the hearts and fallen Tn song from the lins of millions of American freemen.
