But it is one thing to plant and
another thing to uproot. So deeply
is the christian religion implanted IN
the bosoms of the American people
that any blow to a symbol which
typi6es it is looked upon as blow
at religion itself.
We even hear the clergy in some
cases assert that "the religious SEN
tinent of the American people has
been effaced." Of course this is not
and could not be true, but the feel
ing is genuine and there is no com
pensating advantage for having
aroused it, therefore it was unlusti
fable and unfortunate.

Probably no action of president
Roosevelt has caused more comment
than his recent order abolishing from
the face of the new ten dollar gold
piece the above motto. With the
courage of his convictions and his
characteristic style of expression, the
president has taken up the the cues
ton and given at length his reasons
for this action.
From tn, standpoint of law, for
some years past the motto has been
placed on our coins with no other
authority than that of precedent. 1t
was first authorized by Congress in
1864 and approved by the Secretary
of the Treasury when it was stamped
upon the new two cent piece then
issued Later it was omitted from
the Revised Statutes, but has been
retained by custom.
In discussing it's omission the
president says among other things,
Ny own feeling in the matter is due
TO my very firm conviction that to
put such motto on coins, or to use
it in any kindred manner, not only
does no good, but does positive harm
and is in effect irreverence, which
comes dangerously close to sacrilege.
A beautiful and solemn sentence such
as the one in question should be
treated and uttered only with that
fine reverence which necessarily i'm
plies a certain exaltation of spirit"
Such a line of argument, if adj
vanced when the proposed inscrip-
ton was first considered, would
have been worthy of careful consid-
Grafton; and doubtless many irrever-
end remarks due to it's existence
would have been avoided during the
campaigns of 1886 and 1900 fit had

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Congress having convened on
Monday in regular session, the Presi-
dents message was duly transmitted
to and read in each branch on Tues
day. With deep dip of his pen the
President produced document
which, measured by the yard is re-
plete with greatness.
With the fullest measure of conf
dence in his previous utterances he
still more loudly calls for govern
ment control of railroads and other
great corporations, and is fully ready
to take in the small ones too on the
basis that of doing business beyond
a state limit they are subject to
| Federal control. On this subject how
ever he finds many strong minds
doubling the legal force of his propo-
sition.
On the currency question, which is
the all absorbing question of the
day, in the vain effort to stem the
tide of what is generally called the
Roosevelt panic" he goes no further
than to recommend in general terms
provision for expansion of the cur
rency in times of stringency under
such a restrictive tax as would
prompt its retirement as soon as the
emergency shall have passed. The
general platitude in all of its indef-
niteness sounds salutary, and we
trust that a Moses may arise in Con-
gress who will give US something
more tangible than a dream to grasp;
just at present something very real
and practical is sadly needed.
On the subject of the tariff be stands
pat till after the presidential election
except on the subject of admitting
free woodpulp for the manufacture
of paper. This concession, if granted
should be enough to make every suf-
fering publisher worship at his shrine,
as at present the paper trust is hold
ing them by the throat and shifting
on hip and thigh.
Like many of his previous utter
ances he has shown his democracy in
spots by appropriating some of their
cardinal principles, such as an in
come tax, arbitration of labor dis
putes, stricter Federal control Of
trusts and railroads with necessary
enlargement of the powers of the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
checking government by injunction,
and a comprehensive system of i'm
proved inland waterways.
His recommendations on the latter
subject, on the preservation offorests,
and on land drainage are some of the
topics on which all good citizens will
probably unite in endorsing. 1t
would seem to the casual observer
that the message could have pro6ta-
bly, stood a severe boiling down
without doing it an injury as a
literary production or as a state
paper.
