THE PRESIDENT EXPLAINS.
Why the Motto ain God We Trust'
Was Not Placed on the
New Gold Coins.

WaShington.-In answer to one of
the numerous protests which have
been received at the White house
against the new gold coins which have
been coined without the words, I'm
God We Trust, President Roosevelt
has written letter which he Wednes-
day 1a-de public in which he states
that he finds no warrant of law for
placing the motto on the coins and
adds:
my own feeling in the matter is
due to my very firm conviction that to
put such a motto on coins, or to use
it in any kindred manner, not only
does no good but does positive harm,
and in its 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
Any use which tends to cheaper it,
and above ali, any use which tends to
secure its being treated in a spirit of
levity, is from every standpoint pro-
foundly to be regretted.

sHAw's CURRENCY PLAN.
The Ex-secretary Would Permit Banks
to Issue Currency Uncovered
by Bond Deposits.

New Haven, Conn.-Former Secre-
tary of the Treasur.- Shaw addressed
the chamber of commerce here Mon
day night upon the needs of more
elastic form of currency.
In the judgment of Mr.. Shaw, the
only weakness of the American none
tary system is that the currency is
non-elastic, that its volume does not
respond to changing seasons and the
varying needs of trade.
Had the national banks been en-
powered to issue additional circula-
ton equal to so per cent of their CAPT
tai without deposit to secure its re-
demption, but subject to tax of 5
per cent an aggregate increase of
$500, 100000 would have been possible
and s2O0,0O0,0U0 would very likely
have been issued. The people would
have carried to their safe deposit
vaults or taken home for concealment
a national bank note as readily as a
gold certificate and they would have
been just as safe.

Mexico's Indian Women.

The beauty of Indian women is one
of the charms of Mexico. In the cap
ital, where the Indian has degen-
Grated through poverty and mental
service it is less to be remarked than
in the smaller towns and in the coun-
try. But the beautiful faces one takes
in memory away from Mexico are
those of Indian women. Fine eyes
are universal, and, what one hardly ex-
poets, the features, according to eau
casian standards - broad brows,
straight noses, well-formed mouths
and chins full but not gross or heavy.
The expression is very generally intel
ligent, and often one is struck, both in
Indian men and women, with the no.
bility and refinement of the coun-
tenance. One frequently sees types
among the poems that seem to belong
to some highly civilized ancient caste
an Egyptian priest of royal blood,
Roman centurian, an Aztec emperor.
The women are gently lovely where
they are beautiful, and the men at
their best in carriage, in manners and
in countenance are strikingly like the
very advanced product of civilization.

Mr.. BRYAN WOULD ACCEPT

no Fight for Nomination.
Thinks He Owes it to His Party AS
sociates to Make His Po-
sition Known.

Lincoln. Neb.-William J. Bryan
will accept the democratic nomination
for president in 1908, but he will
neither ask nor make a fight for it.
He says that for year or more he has
been pressed to answer the question,
will you accept nomination." and he
believes the public is entitled to an
answer and to know the position he
occupies. The question that ought to
weigh most, he says, is whether his
nomination will strengthen the demo
cratic party more than the nomination
of some one else. Not only will he
not seek or ask for the nomination,
but he will not assume to decide the
question of availability and if the prize
falls to another, he will neither be dis
appointed nor disgruntled. At the
same time, he denies that he has wait
ed this long in desire to see whom
the republicans are likely to nominate
or to ascertain the chances of victory

SAVING ~HeIIor to Heart rhrobs.

1T is a curious thing" said prom
inent lecturer recently, cs'how some
books have strong radiating person
atty, so that you feel like saying
'Howdy' every time you come across
them. Last Christmas I visited friends
back at the old home on the farm.
When the supper dishes had been put
away, the chores done and the evening
lamp lighted we gathered beside the
organ for a good old fashioned sing.
On the center table were strewn the
Christmas remembrances taken from
Christmas tree on the evening before.
CHANGING over them 1 suddenly ex
claimed Hello! my good friend,
Helloi' and as the others looked up
with surprise, 1 picked up copy of
Heart Throbs' and read to them from
its pages the piece I spoke in
school 40 years ago.
"That was enough to set in motion
the friendly entertaining spirit of
Heart Throbs, and the music was for
gotten as we took turns reading the
humorous and pathetic bits of prose
and verse that have been preserved
| in this wonderful volume. Some books
have great literary value, some have
| historical significance, but Heart
| Throbs is the only book know that
slaps you on the back in a friendly
sort of way, suiting itself to your
moods and proving faithful to every
emotion. Next to my love of the Bible
1 love Heart Throbs. It is the most
notable book of the times"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.
