Those who know what the scale is

to series of freezes following the
spring weather we had the first weeks
in January When these freezes came

swollen ready to bloom, but were
checked and held in that stage till
spring really came, when the bud was
so weak that it could not grow, and

yet too early to say positively what
the crop will be, but in the country
we doubtless have more fruit than is
the general opinion. Within the past
three days l have observed perhaps a
hundred orchards, including the small
as well as those planted for CONNER
cial purposes. and in every instance
found the I1lberta very badly damaged,
and other commercial varieties consid-
erably damaged. Some of these or
chards were carefully examined, and
great many trees that have not been
kept in good state of cultivation will
very likely die, and those that live
will mature very little If any fruit. But
the orchards that were cultivated well
and late last season, or from other
reasons kept up a vigorous growth
till later in the season. and are now
putting out blooms, and will In many
instances mature fair crops"

Opposing His Co-Workers.

Mr.. Roosevelt the President, never complains
about the amount of work he has his hands,
seeming to like industry so we'll that he is contin
ualy entering upon projects In the midst of a
strenuous effort to crush the Hughes presidential
boom in New York, he discerned the rising of La
Toilette boom in the West and gave his attention
to Wisconsin politics, in collision with ex-senator
Spooner, the distinguished corporation lawyer To-
gether, they assaling the sentiment that seeks
to give the Badger State to LaFollette
Mr. Roosevelt is not favorable to booms, other
than those of his creation, and he is especially
hostile to fully distinguished for reform ten
denotes as he is. One would suppose that he would
welcome the coming of Hughes or LaFollette,
knowing that the principles he seems to favor would
be safe in their hands.
He has taken advantage of many opportunities to
humble Mr.. LaFo11ette, using the Wisconsin
Senator as his instrument, knowing that the
Senator is inherently and rrevocaby opposed to the
beliefs Mr.. Roosevelt shares in common with Mr..
LaFollette
1t is presumed that the President is piqued at
Governor Hughes because the Governor has refused
to dovetail the political manipulation of his State

God On the Coins.

The statement made by President Roosevelt that
there warrant for placing the coins of the
country the words I'm God We Trust" naturally
provoked research The authority has finally been
found in authorization by congress of such de-
vices on the coined money as should be fixed by the
director of the mint, with the approval of the
tary of the treasury.
The suggestion of the recognition of the Deity on
the coins from Pennsylvania minister of the
gospel, who addressed Secretary Salmon P. Chase,
then President Lncon's secretary of the treasury,
on the subject Under date of the goth of November,
1861 Mr.. Chase wrote letter to the director of the
mint, in which he said:
No Nation can be strong except in the strength of
God safe except in his defense The trust of our
people in God should be declared on our national
coins
You will cause device to be prepared without
unnecessary delay with motto expressing in the
fewest and tersest words possible this national
COgnltlon
There was then no authority for compliance with
the directions of the secretary of the treasury and
the matter held in allegiance until 1864, when
congress authorized the coinage of two-cent pieces
bearing the MOTTO F'In God We Trust" In 1865
congress provided that the legend might be
placed on other coins with the approval of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury The coinage act of February
49, 1873 authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to
of their reproduction.
The authority appears to be ample and there has
been no objection to the recognition of God in the
coinage until now and it comes from the President
of the United States.

In relation TO the hostility between Roosevelt and
LaFollette, Milwaukee dispatch has this to say:
An announcement is made that there is to be op-
position to the movement in progress to secure
a delegation for Senator Robert NJ LaFOllette as

Withdrawn From the rIarket.

Just what is the matter is not explained though it
is alleged that the financial situation has greatly i'm
proved. At any rate the Secretary of the Treasury
has Withdrawn from the market $25,OOO,OOO of the
$5oOOOOOO Panama bond issue and $S5 100000 of the
$1OO,OOOOOO Indebtedness certificate issue.
Perhaps he has concluded that selling $15OO0O, 900
in evidences of indebtedness to national bankers and
then giving them back the money they pay is not
going to result in an increase of the circulating
medium The strongest critics of the Roosevelt
Cortelyou plan for the relief of the country were
Republicans and they may have convinced the admin
istraton that its patient would recover more quickly
under disconnuance of the nostrums prescribed by
DR.. ]. Pierpont Morgan.
The Secretary of Treasury says, however, that the
Improvement in business conditions following the
announcement of his measures for relief warrant him
in reducing the issues of bonds and notes. Every
body will hope that he is right-that conditions have
improved, but there is general suspicion that the
administration has taken a Humpty Dumpty fall
from the high wall of finance.
