The New York World is anti-Roose-
welt. but it cannot reconcile itself to
shouting for the Democracy. Speaking
of the recent election, it asks, what
will the Democrats do? What can they
do? 1t is manifest that Mr.. Bryan's
nomination would mean walkover for
Roosevelt, for Taft. for anybody Il
Republican convention would be likely
to nominate. Then why should the
Democrats make Mr. Bryan their
candidate and so down to inevlta-
bic defeat" And to this the
Springfield Republican replies IN
like vein: SIS this only way Of ask
irc WHY the Democrats do not make
another Parker nomination? If it is

The Motto on the Coins.

The Motto on the Coins.
1t was to be expected that voices
would be raised in protect against the
omission CT the motto "In God We
Trust from the new gold coins now

liyious grounds and others feel that it
is too bad to do away with a motto SO
long associated With American COIN

from the beginning, as many seem to
imagine AS a matter of fact its first
appearance on any coin was i'll 1864.
when it was placed on the two-cent
piece. 1t came tc the gold eagle two
Gaudens designed the new coin. His
work was criticised by certain class
of Americans because he employed as
model for his Indian head an Irish
waitress at Cornish, n. II. 4 sue
ceeding wave of complaint from re-
ligious bodies of the nation is to be
expected on account of the omission Of
the old churchlv legend of trust. In
it's mottoless form the gold eagle takes
place With the Constitution. which also
has no mention of the Diety and Which
many good people have sought for
years to amend in that particular. 1t
is almost as hard, however. to amend
the coinage as the Constitution, So
agitators for the return OF the motto
on the $40 gold piece must wait at
least - years. since the law presc:ibes
changes in coin designs.
A writer in the New York Globe gives
a great many instances to show that
omission of reference to the deity
has been the exception in the history
of coinage in the Christian era. From
about the time of Constantine coins
have contained a vast variety Of Chris
tan symbols and legends. The figures
of saints, heads of Christ, quotations
from the Scriptures. have appeared iii
great numbers. The first English
coins, said to have been issued by
Henry III, contained no religious in
scription. but the second did. The re-
verse of these coins, which were known
as the form and were issued in the
reign Of Edward Ill, bore a cross COM
posed of treble lines with a small rose
in the centre, accompanied by 4 Latin
legend signifying ''He shall be exalted
in glory" And it appears to nave been
the usual practice ever since that time
to include some religious figure or i'll
scription on the English coins. 1t
might be said that some Of the coins
were almost pocket tracts. Such texts
as 80 Lord, rebukc me not in thy
wrath" and GLORY be to God on high
| and on earth peace to men" appear on
! them.
It is true that the earlier American
coins had no such Inscriptions. Rut
