OUR GOLD RECORD BROKEN.

The high water mark of the gold hold
ings OF the United States treasury was
reached last Tuesday.
The amount reported for that day. $685.
1ss. So was the largest ever held by the
government at one time.
1t has been only a short time since the
French government had far larger store
Of gold than we, but now the United
States government holds much more gold
than France and vastly more than any Of
the other nations.
The comparative figures are interesting.
The gold holdings OF the great European
national treasures are as follows: French,
s47s. 1SS. 600: Russian, 1928. SS7, 900; Austro-
Hungarian, So. O7l. 900; Bank of England.
s172622.OOO.
1t IS remarkable that the country whose
commercial interests and operations ex-
coed those OF any other except ours
should hold so much less gold than any
other nation named in this list, less than
one-third the amount in the United States
treasury.
The extent to which credit money has
replaced coin in Great Britain in recent
years is simply phenomenal. while there
has been a no less notable accumulation
Of gold in the United States.

that war bitterly and many of them open
" denounced it.
If the spirit that. then prevailed in Mas
sachusetts had pervaded the rest of the
country there would have been no resist
ance to the aggressions of England. The
south furnished the one American gener-
al who achieved distinguished success and
lasting fame i'm that struggle.
The great majority of the men who
fought the completely successful and i'm
menseIy profitable war with Mexico went
from the south and west.
Both of the generals who commanded
that victorious army were from the SOUTH
Scott and Taylor, and the former gave
IL as his deliberate conviction that he
owed his success very largely to his chief
engineer, Capt. Robert e. Lee, who later
proved himself to be one of the greatest
military geniuses in all history. The ma
jority of the other officers who became
famous in the Mexican war were south
erners. Braxton Bragg and Jefferson Da-
Wis being conspicuous among them.
And regarding the war of the revolution
il may be said that as time goes by the
more firmly set does the judgment Of our
own country and that Of the world be-
come that the one man who could have
made the independence of the colonies
possible at that time was a southern man

KEEP 1T UP. BRETHREN.

We print today among Letters From
The People" a card from an esteemed
correspondent in AIilledgeville who con-
siders that The Journal was behind the
time in its recent editorial appeal TO the
Presbyterians OF Georgia to wake up
to the great opportunity that is before
state.
He directs our attention to the fact
that The Journal informed the public
last November that the Presbyterian
synod or Georgia had unanimously re-
solved that $4,000 should be raised at
once for the establishment OF a college in
this state. We are also informed that
The board has been busily at work
since November formulating plans for
an aggressive campaign" and that I'VE
hope to have a first class male college
in operation in twelve months somewhere
in the state"
We give publicity to this statement and
assurance most cheerfully and trust that
the hopes OF our grand Presbyterian
brother will be realized soon.
We were aware that some preliminary
steps toward the establishments OF a
Presbyterian college or university were
taken at the session OF the Georgia synod
last fall. but. having heard nothing OF
the movement since that time we thought
4e were doing that noble denomination
and the state OF Georgia good service by
calling upon the Presbyterians OF our
state gently. even affectionately. but
earnestly to wake up on this important
subject.
We are sincerely glad that the board
has been busily at work since November
and hope it has already raised the moder-
ate amount OF money which the synod
considered sufficient to start this great
enterprise to which the Presbyterian
church I'm Georgia has committed itself.
We shall be delighted to see the pre-
diction OF a first class college in opera
ton in Georgia within twelve months
somewhere in Georgia fully realized.
This can certainly be done If the Pres
byterians all over the state. as we'll as
their synod. shall wake up and keep
awake to the importance OF this great
proposition.

HON. POPE BROWN wITHDRAws.

In a brief announcement which The
Journal reproduced Monday Hon. Pope
Brown withdraws from the contest for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination. He
states that he cannot gain his consent to
relinquish even temporarily the business
to which he is devoted and in which he
has labored for % years, though he has
been strongly urged to make the race for
his party's nomination for governor and
has been inclined TO do so.
Mr.. Brown is known as one Of the most
progressive and successful farmers in
Georgia, a man of fine business capacity,
high character and spotless reputation.
He has done Georgia valuable service by
his own example as a promoter of its
agricultural interests and his able admin
istration OF the State Agricultural society.
He is now an honored member of the state
railroad commission, which has a strong
hold upon the regard of the people.
Mr. Brown is a citizen of whom Georgia
is proud and TO whom she looks for furth-
er service that will be useful to her and
creditable to him. He is yet a young man
and has an enviable future. His with
drawal from the gubernatorial canvass
will be regretted by many friends and adj
mirers, but the reasons for it and the
manner in which it Is done will be ad
mitted by ell to be highly creditable.

THE BILL STILL VERY BAD.

Senator Frye and his coadjutors have
reshaped their ship subsidy bin and elm
mated some Of its most obnoxious provis-
ions, but it retains. of course, the perni-
cious principle which congress should re-
pudiate at the first opportunity.
The bill was modified in the hope of
allaying Republican opposition and catch
ing the votes of a few Democrats who. it
is believed, may be won over to the sup
port of the measure I'm fits present form.
But the chances are still decidedly
against the ship subsidy advocates. At
ter all the changes they have made in it
the bill still makes it possible for empty
ships % collect full subsidies and they
would undoubtedly do so. Another clause
is retained which, of itself, should be ia
tai to the bill.
1t opens wide the way for foreigners to
become benehclaries of the subsidies that
are to be paid nominally for the eneour-
agement of American shipping.
If a corporation is formed in/this coun-
try to buy or build ships or lines of ships
the stockholders may be foreigners and
the subsidies paid to all such ships though
paid by the people of this country may
all go to foreigners.
Another serious objection to the bill is
that IL has no provision that will insure
the establishment of any new means of
communication, or prevent subsidies from
merely going to increase the dividends
Of shipping interests already established.
Furthermore there is no sufficient guar
anty that subsidies will not be bestowed
upon foreign-built ships whenever Ameri-
cans may buy them and obtain special
American registry for them. That very
thing has been done repeatedly by COM
panies that are urging the passage of this
bill.
The rate of subsidy for the outward
and return voyage is indiscriminate. A
ship that carries American-made goods
receives no better bounty than one which
brings in foreign goods. or even foreign
immigrants Of the most Objectionable
character.
The New York Evening Post summarize
es a whole volume of testimony in a few
words when it says:
The history of subsidies has. on the
whole, been a history of failure. All of
the special shipping subsidies attempted
heretofore by this country have been
failures, and a study of the whole subject
will show that there is no fixed relation
between the growth OF shipping and
government aid to shipping The advo-
Gates of subsidy say that British SUI
premacy on the sea is maintained by
subsidy. The recent parliamentary in
quiry on that subject showed that both
the postal subsidy and the naval sub
vention, which tare he only forms of
subsidy paid by the British government,
were considered by many British ship
owners as more of a burden than a BEN
eft"
ihe steady fire in the last congress that
drove the bill to shelter for repairs is be-
ing kept up without abatement and is
knocking out the measure in its patched
up form as it did the original

JEFEERsoN,s RELIGION.

The question whether Thomas Jefferson
believed in the Bible or not has been dis
cussed a long time and many persons can
be found who are equally positive on the
affirmative and the negative sides of the
issue.
Representative Lacey. Of iowa, who is
a devout Csr:stian, believes that Jeffer-
SCI had a strong religious faith and was
very far from being an agnostic, or even
a free thinker"
He has introduced in the house of rep
resentatives a resolution providing for the
publication by the government of Jeffer-
sons Life and Morals of Jesus of Naz-
areth.".
1t is we'll known, Of course, that Jefrer-
son was an industrious student of the
Bible. but this fact OF itself signifies moth
ing as TO his religious beliefs or his esti-
nation of the character of Christ.
The late Robert G.. Ingersoll was one
of the best informed Bible students in this
country, and he was the most notorious
scoffer of his day at the religion that is
based on the Bible as the word of God.
But Jefferson regarded the Bible very
differently from Colonel Ingersoll.
In a letter to Charles Thompson. writ
ten in 1916. referred TO his translation of
the Evangelists I'm which he says:

rHE NEW DEPARTMENT..

The secretary who will have charge or
the department OF commerce and labor.
soon TO be established, will have his hands
full. The bill providing for this depart
ment passed the senate without a dissent
1ng voice few days ago. The unanimity
with which IL was agreed to by that body
is due TO the happy amendment offered by
Senator Bacon and adopted by the senate,
which changed the original name and ma
ture OF the proposed department by in
Guiding in It the concerns Of labor.
The new department will not be left
TO grow up with the country, but will
start with enough business to tax the en-
ergies and ability OF another cabinet OFF,
Ger and several assistants and TO employ
a host OF clerks. Il Will be. I'm fact, from
the moment OF its Inauguration. one OF the
most important executive branches OF the
government. 1t will be made up OF bu-
reaus taken from the state. treasury and
interior departments.
The bureau OF fereign commerce and the
supervision OF all consuls whose duties re-
late especially TO commercial relations
and affairs vii be taken from the state de-
partment. The treasury department will
surrender the following bureaus: Life
saving service; lighthouse board; light
house service; marine hospital service;
steamboat inspection service; bureau or
navigation and United States shipping
commissioners; bureau OF immigration;
the bureau OF statistics: United States
coast and Geodetic survey.
The following will be taken from the in
terror department: Commissioner Of rail-
roads; census office and patent office; de-
partment of labor; commissioner Of fish
and fisheries.
This enumeration OF the functions OF the
new department shows that practical
man will be required for its proper admin
istration.
A welcome assurance comes In the form
OF a well founded report that the presl-
dent will appoint as the first secretary OF
the department OF commerce and labor not
a politician, but a successful man OF af-
fairs.
The establishment OF this department
will aid greatly in the administration Of
the government by relieving the pressure
upon departments that are now over
worked and by providing for closer and
more particular attention 10 the interests
OF commerce and labor.

or beautiful morsel of ethics have never
seem"
Three years later Jefferson writing to
william Short refers to IAN abstract of
the Evangelists," which he had attempt
ed too hastily some twelve or fifteen
years ago." He adds: 'It is the work of
ington. after getting through the even
ing's task of reading the letters and pa
pers of the day."
Several years ago the government
bought this book from member of the
Randolph family of Virginia, and it is
now in the Smithsonian institution.
The title page is inscribed as follows In
Jefferson's own handwriting and reads:
THE Life and Morals of Jesus of Naz-
areth, Extracted Textually from the Cos
pels in Greek. Latin, French and Eng
lish."
In preparing this book Mr.. Jefferson
evidently used two copies of the New Tes-
lament in each of these languages. as he
clipped and pasted freely in order to give
his idea of the way in which the life and
morals of Christ might be most effectu-
ally presented.
1t was a cherished plan Of Jefferson to
present I'm parallel columns the teachings
of Marucus Aurelius. Epicurus, Epictetus
and Confucius and those of Jesus Christ.
This intention was abandoned in 1913,
however. He said. referring to 1t at that
time: with one foot in the grave these
are idle projects now
The abstract from the Evangelists"
referred to contains 1852 pages. On the first
column is pasted the text cut from the
Greek Testament: on the second, the
Latin; on the third, the French, and on
the fourth. the English. On the margin
of each leaf next to the English version
Mr.. Jefferson notes the Gospel and the
chapter fron which the text is taken.
The whole is a condensation of what JEFF
ferson believed should be included in a
plain statement OF the life and teachings
of Jesus. There is also a table of the
the texts employed in the narrative. This
table is three pages, and was written by
Mr.. Jefferson. Extracts from the four
Gospels are closely interviewer in the eff
fort to make a complete and harmonious
story.
Representative Lacey has proper regard
for the limitations of our government in
such matters and does not advocate the
publication of this work Of Jefferson for
the vindication and propagation of his re-
ligious views, but because it is valuable
historical study presented by one Of the
greatest of American statesmen.
