A HANDSOME EDITION.

The Herald has received a COPY of
the second annual edition of the Gold
field News. The edition contains 125
pages, in magazine form, of reading
matter interspersed with clear half
lone views of the mining camps of Ne
vada and the men who have made
them. The matter bears every evidence
of careful preparation and seems to be
entirely accurate. AS a compendium of
reliable Information about the mining
industry OF Nevada, the annual is well
worth preserving. And it is also worth
preserving as a splendid example of
the newspaper makers art.
That GOldfeld is able to support such
a paper as the News is altogether to
the credit of the liveliest gold camp in
the world. We congratulate the News
and the Nevada metropolis. The an
nual deserves the widest possible circu-
lation. Indeed, we do not hesitate to
say that no man who is interested in
mining in Nevada can afford to be
without it, for there is not a camp in
the state that does not receive exhaus-
tive treatment. There is hardly prom
inent mining man in Nevada who does
not come in for mention, at least.
We have some knowledge of the vast
deal of painstaking labor necessary to
the compilation of the facts and the
preparation of such an edition as the
annual. And the results have been all
that the severest critic or the most
earnest well-wisher of the paper could
desire. Again we extend congratula-
tons to the News and to the city that
supports it.

THE SALE OF COCAINE.

At a special meeting of the Utah
Pharmaceutical association. held in Salt
Lake yesterday. a bill was drafted
which seeks to prohibit the sale of CO.
caine except upon the prescription of a
regular physician. and no prescription
calling for cocaine is to be filled more
than once for the same individual. Il
is a well known fact that some drug
gists derive considerable revenue from
the sale of cocaine. Under our present
laws. it is possible to purchase the drug
in any amount. and anybody can buy it.
The drug men are willing to cut off a
portion of their revenue in the interest
of humanity. They know, as few who
are not in the pharmaceutical profess
sion know, how the use of cocaine has
been increasing in Salt Lake City and
throughout the state in recent years.
They have seen the insidious habit
fasten itself upon men and women,
even upon boys and girls. and make
wrecks Of them Their proposed bin is
entirely commendable and it should be
enacted into law.
The cocaine habit is an evil that
much be fought and conquered. Only

ORIGIN OF OUR MOTTO.
How "In God We Trust" Was Placed
Upon Our Money.
lChicago Newsl


The use of the legend in God We
Trust, on some of the coins of the
United States grew out of letter writ
ten by a Maryland farmer to Salmon T.
Chase when he was secretary of the
treasury. The letter was written In
November. 1861, the writer urging that
we should. as a Christian people. make
some recognition of the deity on our
coins. Mr.. Chase referred the letter TO
Director Pollock of the mint, who ap-
proved The suggestion and proposed
one of the legends, Our Country, Our
God" or God Our Trust" Mr.. Chase
then referred the matter to congress,
and again in 1862 and in 1863 he urged
that the matter be acted on. Finally
on April %, 1864, congress authorized
tho coinage of a 2-cent bronze piece
and on its was stamped the legend ''In
God We Trust. instead of .E Pluribus
Unum.' Subsequently. on March g.
1865. the director of the mint, with the
approval of the secretary of the treas
ury, was authorized to place the legend
on ali gold and silver coins susceptible
of that addition thereafter to be issued.
The legend is taken from the following
line in THE Star Spangled Banner"
And this be our motto: In God is our
trnst."

The NATIoN,s FIGHTERS.

The Navy League of the United
States, in session at Washington,
adopted one day last week this resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That the Navy League of
the United States is in favor of the
passage of a law by congress which
will enforce respect for the uniform of
petty officers and enlisted men of the
army, navy and marine corps at every
time and place, and also the passage of
laws by legislatures of the various
states making it misdemeanor for
any keeper of public house, theatre,
restaurant or other place of entertain
ment or amusement to discriminate
against citizens wearing such uni
forms"
Isn't II strange that the necessity for
the law contemplated by the resolution
should exist? And yet, the fact that it
does exist has been demonstrated time
and again. There are restaurants in
this country in which service is refused
to enlisted men of either the army or
the navy. They may be ever so neat,
sober, well behaved; they may deport
themselves in every way as gentlemen.
but they will not be served with any
thing to eat or drink.
If law is necessary to correct this
evil. and it seems to be necessary. it
should be placed on the statute books
at once. 1t is hard to find expressions
sufficiently eomdemnatory of resort.
restaurant and hotel proprietors who
think their places are too good to be
used by enlisted men. We venture the
assertion that the average character is
higher among the enlisted men than it
is among the snobs who bar them from
their places. The uniform of the army
and the navy, whether worn by officer.
private. Jack tar or marine, is entitled
to respect wherever it is seen, for,
properly worn, it is a badge of honor.
Suppose the place of one of these too
particular rroprietors should be at
tackled by a mob of drunken foreigners.
Would the place then be too good for
occupancy by enlisted men with rifles
in their hands? We think not. And
We think. further that the very pro
prfetor who would bar them on ordi-
nary occasions would be the first to
yell for their help if the occasion for
protecting mis- property arose. Men like
that are not real Americans. They are
not good citizens. They are snobs who
ought TO be made to spend all their
time licking the boots of their wealthy
customers.

CLINT 3. LEIGH.

In the death of Clint B. Leigh. The
Herald loses one of~the most valuable
members of it's staff. Loyal. efficient,
accurate and broadly informed, he had
established himself in the confidence
Of the men of affairs of this state and
city so thoroughly that the channels of
news were always open TO him, and his
reports of current affairs were unusual
~ complete and reliable. In a technical
sense, no man could have been better
equipped for the exacting duties of his
profession. He had served as printer.
reporter and editor; and he had that
instructive sense of news values with
cut which no training could be worth
much.
Beyond that, he recognized the ethical
side of his profession to the utmost; he
knew and proved in his own career that
newspapers good will, that the endur-
ing qualities of accuracy and fairness
are worth more TO a publication than
any temporary reputation that might
attach to sensational exploitation of
events. As a result, he was able to
command sources of information that
would have been closed to a sensation
alist and his reports carried the weight
Which always, attaches to high ohaTac-
ter. either n lfhe-newspaper or the in
dividuaI.
Remembering the mans lovable
character. it is not easy to write of him
without tears. No gentler gentleman
ever lived, yet few were ever stronger
IN their convictions. In his personal
relations he still held to the traditions
Of the south, which some call oId-fash-
Toned. He was always courteous to men
and chivaiTous to women and children:
and the courtesy was of the heart. in
grained. His associates never heard
HIM say an unkind thing of another:
and his criticisms of others were al
ways tempered with charity, even when
they were justly severe. Simple in his
tastes, Gnassuming in manner, smiling
even when the burden of care was
heavy, it was a benedietion to know
and work with him
Those of us who had been fortunate
enough to see the man in his home life
viii always remember and cherish the
thought Of his relations with his loved
ones. A devoted husband, a father
whose patience and self-sacrifcing af-
lection knew no bounds, a son and
brother whose thoughtfulness and in
terest no separation of time or distance
could dim, he was an example of the
highest and best type of American
manhood.

mediate action, suggests that the pres
ident exercise ''the power placed in his
hands" to bring about consideration of
the matter This is intended to meet the
objection that there will not be time
at the present short session of con-
gress to take up the subject of revision.
II is advice TO the chief executive to
call a special session of congress for
this purpose. Whether or not the pres
ident will heed the petition and call d
special session remains to be seen.
Mr.. Roosevelt is regarded as the
friend of the standpatters, rather than
of the revisionists. Once he expressed
himself as in favor of modifying some
of the schedules, but that was a long
time ago. Ever since then he has MAIN
tanned Il discreet silence.

FOR TARIFF REVISION.

AT the close OF a campaign designed

revision. a petition. signed by hundreds

has been presented to congress and the
president. The petitioners say they are
earnestly in favor of revising existing
tariff schedules, and they strongly urge
immediate action on the subject In the
preparation of the petition there was
no thought of politics. Members of all
parties signed it, men of all parties adj
vocated the action.
The business interests of the state
were practically unit on the measure.
for they realize the necessity of secur-
ing action at the earliest possible mo-
msnt And it is interesting to note that
the politicians. most of whom have
been against revision, have either been
very quiet about the petition or have
come out openly and endorsed it. Even

removed from the people of his state
as any senator who could be named,

IF we are going to bump into the sun
or some other celestial body. what is the
use of our straining as we do to achieve
