she Sesents His Taking the \ )
From U. S. Coins,

Hes an infdel. That's all
I've got to say about him." cried
Carrie Nation, she of Ratchet
fame, when she arrived in Cleve-
land, O., and had ensconced her
self in the Y. NJ. c. A., a hotel
without bar.
She was referring to President
Roosevelt and the omission of I'm
God We Trust" from the new
coins.
Now, Roosevelt is laughing at
the Christians in this country.
That's what the infdels do at the
Christians work. He is failing to
advertise God and do his work
when he orders those words off the
coins.
In GOD WE TRUST"
AS a matter Of fact, how MANY
OF the excellent gentlemen who
protest so violently are familiar
with the coinage of the United
States? 1t was not until 1864 that
the words whose disappearance
agitates them first appeared on the
two-cent piece, which has long
since been with drawn from circu-
lation. In 1866 the motto was
first stamped on the eagle. Can
any of the clergymen now so bit
terly condemning President Roose-
welt say offhand, without exa min
ing the coins, on which pieces of
currency the motto "In God We
Trust" is and is not to be found
Is there a single one that knows as
an actual fact that it appears on
quarters, half.dollars and dollars
silver pieces and on all the gold,
and does not appear on the one
cent, hve.cent and ten-cent pieces.
How many practical men in every
day life can describe correctly the
designs and lettering on one ~
all of these coins? Here is a
pie test as TO the effect of the motto
upon the daily life of the average
person. N. Y. World.

TWo-MlLE CONCRETE CAUSEWAY.
LiEk in The Railway Route TO hey
West.

West.
Reference has been made pre-
viously i'll this department to an
extension Of the East Florida Rail
way to the island of Key West.
The line will make use Of several
of the keys or islets on the south
ern coast, these serving is step
ping stones. They are to be con-
nected with each other by viaducts
composed Of concrete, spanning
shallow depths. As rather heavy
storms visit this region at times it
has been decided to carry the
structure up thirty feet above
water level. What is known as
the Long Key section, reaching
from Long Key to Conch Key, and
two miles in length. is now APP
preaching completion. 1t will
probably be finished by next New
Years day. In fact, TIE concrete
work on that span probably
ended already, and the month of
December will be devoted to track
laying.
According to The Engineering
Record" the structure consists of
a series of $50 concrete arches,
heavily reinforced with steel rods.
The radius is twenty-five feet,
making the full span fifty feet
from pier to pier and the height
above mean low water twenty-five
feet. Spandrel walls are built on
each side OF the arch. Between
these walls the space is filled with
sand and mari dredged from the
vicinity of the viaduct.
The bottom is a coraline rock,
incrusted with a surface of harder
material, somewhat like that which
forms around a geyser. For the
most part the bottom was COM
paratively clean, but in places it
was covered for several feet in
depth with a deposit of mari and
sand When the crust, which
varied in depth from four inches
to more than a foot, was broken
through softer material was en-
countered, which, though requir-
ing blasting for its removal, was
comparatively easy to penetrate
with drill, or even allowed of
driving piling in the ordinary
manner.
Three vital steps were taken in
constructing the piers between the
arches. First a water-tight tim
Der well, or coffee dam, was sunk
in the proper place, with the as
sistance of boats. Then in order
to secure a firm anchorage piles
were driven inside the Golfer dam,
portions sticking up. Finally the
concrete was filled in. So we'll
was this work done that a heavy
storm which interrupted proceed
ings year ago left the piers I'M
harmed, though much of the other
material and appliances were de-
stroyed. 1t ought to be added
that the Golfer dam was not the
mould for a pier. A special form
was placed inside the dam when
it was once in place Later both
the form and Golfer dam were re-
moved.

LIGHT OF FRISCO MAYORS RECENT HISTORY, WASHINGTON
is DISCUSSING HIS ABILITY KEEP PLEDGES TO
NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION.

Washington, d. c., June 16.-(Spec-
ial Correspondent of The Argus This
city presents a constant drama of NOV
ing political pictures and the lightning
changes are fostered by the emulation
of the newspapers and their CORES
pondents for something new. This
week the Japanese question is on the
boards and it has reached the stage o.
a Semi-official threat that no apology
can be expected from the United
States for what is a purely state af
fair. The Japanese restaurant keeper
of San Francisco who was no doubt
abused and his restaurant wrecked by
a mob must seek reparation in the 10
cal courts, is the position of the admin
istration. But back of all this is the
determination of Japan to demand the
same treatment for her subjects who
desire to settle in the United States
as is granted to the people of Other
nations.
The real issue is a political one both
in Japan and here, for it so happens
that national election occurs next
year in both countries and the party
out of power in Japan seizes the op-
portunity to show that the party in
| power is SO unpatriotic as not to pro.

The perennial question of party poll
tics as to who will be the nominees of
both parties for president has received
an impetus by the endorsement OF
Senator Knox by the republican state
convention of Pennsylvania. He is evi-
IDENTIFY brought forward by the faction
of his party who are determined to
prevent tariff reform, or even recip-
rocity. This insures a squabble over
candidates and also on the tariff plank
in the republican national convention
that will be difficult to compromise
without losing the votes of those re-
