The somewhat historical protest
against the commission OF the motto,
I'm God We Trust from the coins
OF the republic is not easily explain
ed. remarks the Commercial Appeal.
We could understand IL il it were
proposed TO remove the motto from q
stained glass window, a cathedral
door, or an altar. which by custom
and worship have been made sacred
things. But II there is,anything in
the world that is the exact opposite
Of something sacred il is q coin.
In~trinsically gold and silver are no
more sacred than copper. or lead or
iron. Certainly there Is nothing
sacred about money. This is only
a medium OF exchange. 1t is a de-
vice for enabling the shoemaker 10
swap a pair Of shoes for a bag Of
flour, or for facilitating the exchange
Of something 10 eat for something TO
wear, and something to wear for
something to burn, and so on. One
takes . dollar and buys steak, a
basket of vegetables and a loaf of
bread, Each of these useful arti-
cles is just as reputable, just as
sacred, just as worthy Of honor as
the coin. There is perhaps no pas
sion more degrading than the wor-
ship Of money. We do not 60 to
church to worship the church, but
10 worship the Almighty, We agree
with President Roosevelt that the
imposition Of a sacred motto on so
unsaered a thing as money is in a
certain sense sacreligious. We can
realize just how improper il is by
surprising that we found In God
We Trust" printed on a box Of sar-
dimes, or God Is Our Refuge on a
bottle Of sauce, or Nearer My God
10 Thee" on cake Of soap, The mere
mention Of such q juxtaposition
shocks us. Yet soap and sauce and
sardines are all useful articles, and
are much more highly spoken of
than gold or silver, both of which
enjoy a rather questionable reputa-
tlon. We agree with the president
that the removal OF a sacred motto
from that which the Scriptures pro
nouRce the root Of all evil is some
thing that could be done in all pro-
priety. Instead Of being %sacrili-
glOus, it is exactly the reverse. AT
any rate, ii is nothing to raise a
hullabailoo about

Beware Of the moth ball. A Paris
eablegram says; The n~aphthslene
moth bali, so commonly used by good
housewives to preserve clothing from
moths and other insects, were sub
ject 10 an attack this week in the
French Academy Of Medicine, Two
eminent physicians stated that the
substance is not only useless as a
p~reservatite, but is highly prejudi-
cisl to health. The moth balls give
off oxide carbon, a posion to the
blood corpuscles, They cited sever
al cases Of asphyxa caused by nap
thslene fumes, The poison is all
the more dangerous as its effects are
and not easily perceived
until too late.

CHILD WAS FRIGHTENED.
Rescue Of Little Girl Left Alone il
School Building,

Grace Shannon, seven years of age, a
first-grade pupil at the Polk building. It'll
and P streets, was a badly frightened child
yesterday afternoon when she found herself
alone in the big building. 1t was about
4:3O o'clock when the pupils in her room
were excused for the day, but Grace did
not happen to be in the room at the time.
The room was closed and the teacher de-
parted.
When the child returned to the school
room and found nobody there she hurried to
the front door of the building and found
1t locked. After experiencing some trouble
the little one finally succeeded in reaching
the yard. There she encountered a high
fence which she could not climb. She be-
came hysterical and her cries attracted the
attention Of Policeman McGrath and a
number of pedestrians.
large crowd soon assembled at the cor
ner Of 7th and streets and the little one
was cheered when she was assisted out by
the policeman. Grace was taken to her
home, 1421 9th street

WAS NOT MENTIONED.
Central Labor Union Did Not Consider
Order Expelling Brewers.

It was expected by many of the delegates
that at the meeting last night of the Gen.
trail Labor Union the recent order of Pres
ident Gompers expelling the Brewery
Workers from the American Federation Of
Labor would be brought to the attention
of the body, and the representatives of the
brewers would be suspended from member
ship in the Central Labor Union, but the
matter was not referred to in an official
way It is believed by those who keep clos
est in touch with labor affairs in the Dis
trict, that no action will be taken until
President Gompers makes an official re-
quest from the Central Labor Union tfor
formal expulsion.
That request, owing to the friendly man.
ner in which the parties concerned in the
controversy in the District have been con-
Quoting their affairs, 1t is believed, will
not be forthcoming for some time to come.
In the past the several organizations con-
cerned have worked together In har-
monious manner, it is declared. and while
some Of them feel that a separation must
come sooner or later. 1t is desired to bring
about the change In heretofore existing
conditions with as little friction as posi-
BILE President GomperS' order will affect
three organizations-the brewers, the bot
tiers and the drivers.
The Labor day committee reported prog
ress and asked for permission to negotiate
q loan Tor the purpose VI HidHClHS Inc
publication of the Labor Day Journal. The
trustees of the central body were instructed
to take up the matter and procure the
loan An appropriation Of $3.50 was made
for the immediate use of the committee
A grievance was presented by the stone
cutters organization alleging that the
stone work to be done on new residence
at r street and New Hampshire avenue
would be by an unfair contracting con-
Germ, and asked that the Central Labor
Union take action in the matter. The
grievance was referred to the adjustment
committee and Secretary De Nedrey was
instructed to write a letter to the owner
of the house informing him of the action.
The committee appointed to visit the
Central Labor Union of Alexandria to
range for closer utilization between the
two bodies visited Alexandria last night.
1t is expected that there will be an ex-
change Of delegates and cooperation of the
work of the two bodies from now on.
Credentials from the soft stone cutters
and furniture finshers were received. and
the delegates given their places on the
floor.
A letter from the Washington Play

edging the receipt Of donation Of money. .

RECIPROCITY WITH ENGLAND.
Such Situation Cannot Exist Unless
Conditions Are Changed.

1t is said at the State Department that
the subject Of an agreement between the
United States and Great Britain under sec
ton of the Dingley act was first men
toned in the course Of some exchanges be-
tween the two governments about six
months ago, and that the matter has not
since been discussed. The difficulty in the
way Of reaching an agreement Of that kind
in the case of Great Britain was found to
lie in the fact that under the express terms
of the Dingley act the President must be
satisfied that Great Britain has something
to offer to the United States that consti-
tutes true reciprocity.
AS it stands the United States enjoys
practical free entry for all products into
Great Britain, do all other nations, so it
is said that Great Britain has nothing to
offer the United States an inducement
to grant to her the special rates on the
FIVE articles enumerated in section 3. If
that condition is changed the State De-
partment will at once enter upon an agree
ment with Great Britain on the basis of
the German arrangement.

SUPERINTENDENT NAMED.
Head of Industrial Home School for
Colored Children

The buildings of the Industrial Home
School for Colored Children provided by
Congress on recommendation of the Com
missioners, to provide industrial training
for delinquent and dependent colored chill
dren, at Blue Plains D. c., opposite Alexan-
dria. are practically completed and the
school will be opened early the coming fiscal
year. At the instance of Commissioner Mac
farland, who has taken special interest in
the school and expects it to accomplish i'm
portant results, the Commissioners have Sc
lected as the superintendent Of the school
Prof. George W. Cook, dean of the COM
mercial department of Howard University
and member of the District board of chari
ties.
During his service on the board of chari-
ties since 1900 Prof. Cook has been active
institutions caring for children and has de-
voted much time to the preparations for
the Industrial Home School for Colored Chill
dren. For that reason and because of his
special qualifications a teacher and bust
ness man Commissioner Macfarland recon-
mended his appointment and 1t was ap-
proved by the Commissioners.
Prof. Cook has been given a years leave
of absence by Howard University from the
LIST of July. when he will begin his new du-
ties and will resign from the board of chart
ties
Commissioner mcfarland said today that
he regarded the school as offering an oppor-
tunity to show to the country what can be
done by a municipality in Industrial train
ing for such children and that he believes
that If it is successful, as he feels sure it
will be under Prof. Cooks administra ton
it will be copied elsewhere. He said that
eighty children can be accommodated in
the buildings which are Of the cottage
plan. according to the best modern ideas,
but that the number will probably not be so
large the first year and that the children
will be given indoor and outdoor industrial
training, including the simple forms of agri-
culture and gardening WORK, to prepare
them to be useful citizens.
