Announcement came from Baton
Rouge on Thursday thai there would
probably be truce to the wranEllnR
over reform legislation that seemed
imminent up to that time, and that an
agreement had been effected among
the leaders of the contending factions
In the general assembly which YOU d
result In the speedy consideration and
passage of the measures indicated In
the proclaim ations OF Gov. Blanchard
and Lieut.. Gov. Sanders, and an sd'
iournment OF the extra session by the
end OF next week, unless an extension
of time Is rendered necessary by the
constitutions requirement that all ap"
preparation bills shall be Ia the gov
ernor's hands before Ave days ses-
sion closes.
TIE conclusion 90 quit squabbling
and 60 to work was reached at eau
Gus attended by prominent members OF
both houses, including Candidate San
ders, and it is likely that this gentle
mans influence was largely instru-
mental In bringing about the treaty OF
peace between the factions, since no
one In the state has greater or more
direct interest in propitiating public
sentiment by securing favorable action
on the pending reform bills. The fact
is apparent, rs we sGid last week, that
the senate is strongly pro-Sanders,
and it has since trsnspired that the
supporters of the same candidate sp.
pear to be in the ma ority In the house
of representatives, hence any failure
on the part of the general assembly to
meet popular expectation would be al
most certain to react heavily If not IA
tally on the aspiration Of the lieuten-
ant governor to fill the governors
chair during the ensuing term.
One of the few measures that has
passed both houses is the Henriques
bill authorizing an investigation OF
port conditions at New Orleans by q
commission composed OF two senators
and three representatives. The com.
missioners selected are Senator 7. C..
Barrett of Csddo and G. c. Cordill OF
Tensas, Representatives Swords R..
Lee of Grant, G. q. Terriberry OF Or
leans and Fritz Sslmen OF St. Tam.
many.
The most important bills awaiting
action are those reducing sheriff's fees
so that they will not exceed 5000 9
year, providing for the election OF
only one tax collector in New Orleans
and limiting the compensation OF the
assessors In the same city. There are
to be seven OF these assessors, as here
tofore, it being the evident conviction
OF the general assembly that the loss
OF half.dozen tax collectors was all
the reform that she city bosses and
their adherents could be expected TO
stand Ia one dose.

rha MOTTO an the Cola,


The time honored motto, I'm God
We trust" does not appear on the
new gold coins which ars being issued
from the United Safes mints, and the
omission has evoked good many
protests from church people. Presl.
dent Roosevelt, himself strict church
man, replies to these criticisms that
tbare was never any warrant In Law
for placing the motto on the coins, and
that It's appearance In such place IL
provocative of leVity and ridieule
rather than respect and venerstlon.
The president says:
s'It Is a motto which 1t 10 indsed
we'll to have inscribed on our great
national monuments, in our temples OF
justice, in our legislative halls and In
buildings such rs those at West Point
and AnnApohs-in short, whenever 1t
viii lend TO arouse and inspire lofty
emotions in those who look thereon.
But it seems to me eminently unwise
to cheaper such motto by using it on
coins, just as it would be to cheaper
1t by use on postage stamps or in ad-
vertisements. AS regards its use on
, the coinage, we have actual expert
ence by which to 60. In all my life
have never heard any human being
speak reverently OF this motto on the
coins, or show any signs Of Its having
appealed to any high emotion in him;
but have literally hundreds of times
heard it used as an occasion of, and in
element to, the sneering ridicule
which it Is above all things undesir-
able that SO exalted phrase should
excite. For example, throughout the
long contest extending over several
decades on the Tree coinage question,
the existence OF this motto on the
and ridicule; aud this was unavoid-
able. Every one must remember the
innumerable cartoons and articles
based on phrases like In God we
trust for the Eight Cents, TN God we
trust for the short weights, In God
we trust for the thirty.seven cents we
do not pay and so on, and so forth.
Surely ] am we'll In bounds when ]
say that use OF the phrase which In
visss constant levity Of this type il
most undesirable.
One OF the most irreverent OF the
numerous perYersions Of the coin
motto that have come under our OBJ.
servation was displayed on . placard
hanging behind the bar OF q saloon:
I'm God we trust-evsrybody else
cash. President Roosevelt is. RICH,
on this question, az on most others,
and if the protesting church people
are wise they will recognize the pro.
priety of his attitude and cease their
clsmor over the matter.
