"In God We Trust"

Springfield Record: The storm of
discussion caused by President Roose-
velt's famous order revising" our ma
tional spelling is as nothing to the
tornado of debate and protest that Las
arisen as a result of his latest order
commanding that the time-honored in
scriRtion "In God We Trust" be left
off all United States coins hereafter
issued from the mints.
Already the Presbyterian Brother
hood has gone on record vigorously
protesting against the order and de.
manding that the inscription be re
stored.
Many religious bodies in the eastern
states have expressed themselves in
loud condemnation of the presidents
iconoclastic order and it is reasonable
to presume that religious bodies in
other sections will express. themselves
in like manner.
The Episcopal clergy of New YorI
is very outspoken in its condemnation
of the removal of the Inscription bu

Tillman,s Prediction.

Senator Tillman. in an Associated
Press interview, passes over Taft and
Fairbanks and their campaigns and
says that Roosevelt will refuse to run
next year and Joe Cannon will be the
nominee of the republican party and
will be defeated by Mr.. Bryan.
If Senator Tillman is right about
Roosevelt, he is right about Bryan
and it matters not whether the op-
-ponent be Cannon or some OthCr man
Mr.. Bryan can beat any candidate but
Roosevelt without a doubt. Should
President Roosevelt conclude that il
would be unpatriotic to resist the de
mands of his party, he and Mr. Bryan
would probably make the greatest race
in the history of American politics
There would be no more talk about
oratory being lost art or the people
carrying forward quiet intellectual
campaigns confined to reading. II
would be battle from start to finish
and no man would know until the
votes were counted which was elected

An Appeal for 1.-THE Bread Line"

The Bowery Mission Bread Line"
at which 1000 men who are out in the
streets for the night are given break
fast of hot coffee and rolls every
morning at 1 o'clock, is one of the
most pathetic sights in all the wide,
wide world, Long before the hour OF
opening, these poor, starving men
stand in single line that sometimes
extends for blocks in length, waiting
for the coffee and rolls. During the
last winter, this breakfast was given
to total of $4,000 homele"s men
and boys. and up to date nearly half a
million of the homeless have had their
weary tramp restfully interrupted by
this unique ministration. The first of
these breakfasts is given on Thanks
giving morning. and the last on the
following Easter morning. Altogether
the mission supplied. this year, over
$4,000 meals and 1902 lodgings to
homeless mep and boys.
1t is for this grand, philanthropic
work that we ask your kind and prac-
teal cooperation. The homeless,
friendless. disheartened and despair
ing men and boys of the Bowery are
not native New Workers. but men and
boys who, until within a year. lived
happily at the old homestead with
father and mother. and perhaps wife

Protestant Episcopal church in the
United States, is more conservative
and admits that he doesn't know
whether Mr.. Roosevelt's action is
| right or wrong, saving that he will
have to give the matter more careful
consideration before reaching a def
mite conclusion of the premises.
The probabilities are that the great
: masses of the people have the same
doubts on the subject that Bishop
futile possesses.
This. is one of the cases where SO
much may be said on either side that
one may well be excused for with
holding decision either one way or
| the other.
his life he has, never heard anyone
speak of the inscription except in
tones of ridicule or levity.
This sweeping indictment of an en-
tire nation seems hardly just. for,
while undoubtedly many persons treat
the inscription with irreverence or
even worse. to a very large percentage
of the people the phrase 'In God We
Trust" has noble meaning and all the
millions of Americans are hardly so
lacking in respect for the deity as
Theodore Roosevelt's words might lead
one to believe
His contention that the words
should not be placed on the coins lest
| they provoke irreverence loses much
of its force if one considers that by
the same rule we would quit publish
ing bibles merely because many speak
of that book in terms of irony and
ridicule.
There are tens of thousands of per-
sons in the United States who lose
few opportunities to speak with dis
respect of our churches, yet this seems
to furnish no good reason for our
quitting the building 81 churches.
That the famous words now under
so much discussion were placed on
the coins after careful consideration
by some of the greatest men in Amer
lean history is worth remembering at
this time.
They were placed there largely be
cause the American constitution fails
to take cognizance of any supreme
being and it was felt that the inscrip
ton on the coins would, in some
measure, atone for this lack and give
evidence of the fact that the American
people recognize the existence of a
God.
Theodore Roosevelt in his "simpli
fed spelling" order went in the face
of the desire of the great majority oil
the people and. finally recognizing
this, he countermanded the order.
Perhaps some such outcome will re
suit from the present discussion. but
be this as it may, the incident viii
serve to further ILLUSTRATES the fac
that nothing is safe from the siren
luous but somewhat devastating hands
fof Theodore Roosevelt, who appears tc
be ever on the lookout for something
to attack-be it bear, trust magnate

The Making of a State.


The admission of Oklahoma to the
full responsibilities of American state
hood makes the date one of the most
memorable in American history
Something more than local pride shows
itself in the fullness with which the
people of the new state itself display
their deep appreciation of the mean1
ing involved Their procession, their
,salutes of artillery, their demonstra-
tions of overlooking enthusiasm are
not mere boasts of their own achieve
ments in creating new common
wealth which in II years since the or
ganization of Oklahoma as territory,
they have built from the ground up"
into greatness above that of some
states which had 100 years the advan-
tage of them in the rights and privil-
eyes of membership in the union.
Deeper and higher than any spirit of
local pride is the appeal they make to
the United States and to the world to
recognize that, instead of being effete,
the principles of American greatness,
out of which their results come, find
