On Coin or on Character, which,

That recent furious little popular furry
over the omission from the new $40 gold
pieces Of the time -honored motto, I'm
God We Trust" revealed a gratifying and.
to some, a surprising amount of religious
feeling in the hearts Of the people. It is
one thing to insert in a document, like
the Constitution. the name of God, but it
is quite another thing to uproot usage
already well established, and 1t is hardly
to be wondered at that many who would
not strive zealously to secure another out
ward recognition OF God in the frame
to giving UP any Of the few that we al
ready have.
And yet this is not an issue over which
to become hysterical. The argument of
precedence and tradition favors continual

ward reality; neither" does the alb
sence Of any public averment that
this nation believes and trusts in
God prove that we are an IRE
ligious or atheistical people. But the
thing over which we may properly become
the extent of our belief in God and the
application of that belief to our social and
individual life. Nominally we do believe
in Him, but as this nation has been NOV

in the path of material advancement that
belief may have slipped into the back
ground Of our corporate consciousness.
We have come to believe nightly in
ourselves. our mines, our fertile SO IL, our
easy mastery of the forces that add to
the comfort and ease of life, our superior
place among the nations Of the earth
but do we actually trust in God as much
as we do in gold. especially when stocks
go down and money is tight. and the ia
foring winds of industry cease to blow
and we have to curtail and restrict and
modify our personal programs at many
points-is our faith in God, in other
words, only a fair-weather affair, cher
ished in much the same way as we foster
an amateur liking for art and poetry and
music?
The time has come in the Judgment of
some of our keenest thinkers and wisest

Tower is % years old. He says his
parents reside in Galesburg, Ill. He
left home as a boy and has wandered
all over the west. Besides Gordon and
Dutch, Tower says, a man named
George Hastings was in the plot. A
suspect is now under arrest and held
at fort on the Columbia river, Ore
gon, where he has recently entered the
United States army. The local police,
who are after the $4,000 reward Of
fered for the robbers, will not give the
place of GOrdon's detention. A deputy
sheriff left last night to bring him
mere. This suspect, whose name the
police will not divulge, is believed TO
be CLOVIS murderer. The other two
men have not been captured
Suit Case Identified.
The first clew to Towers guilt was
had through a suit case filled with dy-
Mantle. This was found on the blind
platform of the baggage car just after
the robbers fed. 1t contained several
sticks of dynamite. This suit case was
identified only Tuesday by Mrs. Hurley
Hungate, who runs the house at which
Tower was staying. Towers arrest fol
lowed. Mrs. Hungate had seen the suit
case in Towers room the day before
