IT has been the uniform custom of
the government from. the beginning to
put only the vignettes of dead states
men on our banknotes and coins. Di-
rector of the Mint Leach, it is SAID, how
ever; is preparing a medallion of Presi-
dent Harrison to adorn the new gold
coins. We must protest. IT the face of
any living statesman is to be stamped
upon our currency, let it be that OF
Mckinley. Nd other man has ever
reached SO deeHinto the pockets of his
countrymen. But perhaps, after all,
Director Leach doesn't consider Mr.
Harrison a living statesman.

The church has had to endure some
pretty hard whacks for the past centur,
for its failures to correct political evils
in the days when church and state were
one. Now the worm has turned. The
church, in the person OF Archbishop
O'Brien, Of Canada, points the finger Of
scorn at the politicians and tells them
they have made a hopeless mess OF
things. In a letter to the Halifax Her
aid defending n OF his bishops for po-
litical activity, the archbishop thus
scores the critics:
faced in the political life of the country.
But there is no fear of such a calamity.
The signs of the times point to the oppo-
site pole-leaguei with the people.
The church broke the power of tyrants,
shivered the crushing fabric of imperial
ism, and gave a long reign of prosperity
and social progress. Latterly, however,
the world has been in the hands of politics
and political men. A pretty mess they
have made of things. Individual liberty
dead, or fast dying, under the law of de-
mand and supply; the home life polluted
by divorce; the poor ground down by the
tyranny of money, and the specter OF an
avenging socialism terrorizes governments.
But the church is girding up her loins once
more for battle. She ia neither dead nor
dying. AS of yore, she will league with and
will lead the masses to victory over COM
bines and trusts and grinding m%onopolies.
and lift them as formerly to a higher plane
of civilization and comfort.
1t will strike the impartial observer
that the politicians cannot successfully
meet this Indictment.
