I bow before my Duty,
And know that Gods above
My heart through shining arches
Of leaf ana blossom goes;
My soul. triumphant. marches
Through life to Gfes rtpose.
And l. through AL this glory
Nor know nor fear my fate
The great things are so simple,
The simple are so great.

The trouble en- the stock market Is
due I'm great part to the hostility Of
European bankers and investors toward
American securities. Europe has become
distrustfui and has been discriminating
against even the best OF our stocks and
bonds. Demagogues say that President
Roosevelt IS responsible for this. and
in "A sense that is true. for the President
has caused Investigations and p-osecu-
tons in many instances. But that IS
only half the truth. Europe's mis-
Swings ara due TO the disclosures which
have been brought out IN these invesu-
cations. The Investigations have shown
that the high magnates we're guilty OF
sharp practices; that they had prsyed
apon tie general public and upon Their
own stockholders: that they had been
eulty OF conduct that was grossly i'm
moral. 81 not technically criminal. El-

Removing God From the
French Coin.

By directing the mint authorities to
drop the motto, God Protect France, %
from the coins OF tho republic. the
French Minister OF Finance appears TO
have furnished considerable finder TO the
Ciericals. This party has all along
claimed that the separation OF church
and state was IN reality the symptom OF
a general wave OF irreligion rising 20
sweep over the whole nation. Indiner-
ence or dislike TO religion. the Clericals
have urged, not a desire for a free rel-
glon. lies at the bottom OF the present
anti-Cierioal movement. The statement
credited to the Minister OF Public Wor-
ship. NJ. BRAND. that France had
hunted Jesus Christ out Of the army, the
navy. the schools, the hospitals and the
law courts has. il is true. been denied
by him. But the removal Of tho name
OF the Deity from the coins. ~unimport-
ant as II may be regarded in itself,
seems to show Enthusiastically that the
enumen Of tho dominant party IS in
that direction.
The act cannot. OF course, be regarded
as a necessary Incident TO the abolition
~ the concordat. No country. per
haps. could have a moro complete divi-
sion between church and state than
exists in the United States. Yet It has
never been seriously argued that In
God We Trust should be removed from
our coins. 40 serious objection, we
believe. has ever been raised 10 the
prayer with which the houses OF Con-
gress open their sessions. Great Britain
retains "Dei Graua" upon her specie,
and most Christian nations preserve
some similar use OF the name OF God
These things have become established
conventions. and are regarded as fitting
and Appropriate. regardless Of religious
opinions or dootrinal differences. DO not

Finance is an innovation likely to at

It VIII be seen from this table that
property in Virginia IS assessed at less
than half fits actual value: yet the Con
sutution OF Virginia says in plain. UNI
equivocal language tina al assessments
OF real estate and tangfble personal
property shall be az their fair market
value. II may be commended with reason
that the actual value OF property is not
always as low as its market value. but
IL cannot be contended with reason that
the market value q property In Virginia
is less than one-half It's actual value.
There IS proof upon proof that much
property in virginia IS not assessed &C
cording 70 thu rule OF the Constitution.
As we have pointed ont in a previous

so far as the matter Of justice is con-

but everybody knows that it IS not the
invariable rule; for property IN some

at less. Yet the Constitution also pro-
