THE MOTTO DISCUSSION.

Perhaps not one of the many arbi- President has caused more discussion and adverse criticism than has fol- lowed his order to leave the motto, "In God We Trust" off the new gold coins. Those who defend his action do so mainly on the ground that the motto Is not necessary. that it adds nothing to the salue or the desirability of such coins, and other arguments of the same sort.
 All this may be true. as a matter of fact. The value of the coins will not be diminished, and people will take them just as readily as they ever did. The contention may be a sentimental one, but the protests against the change have come from all sections and from all classes of people. One of the most singular features of the matter Is the assertion of the President that he could find no warrant" for the motto having been put on the coins in the first place. This was equivalent to saying that whoever put the motto on the coins did so without authority whereupon Chicago lawyer promptly called his attention to the following section of a law enacted in 1865, read ing thus:
 And be 1t further enacted that, in addition to the devices or legends upon gold, silver and other coins of the United States, it shall be lawful for tn e director of the mint. with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasory, to cause the motto. 'In God We Trust" {" to be placed on such coins hereafter to be issued as shall admit of such legend thereon.
 We think that any intelligent man. unless it be Roosevelt. will say that this is a direct warrant for the motto. and was ample authority for placing 1t there. This law has never been re- psaled or modified, so far as can be shown, so it is plain that the words were placed on the coins by full au- thority of the law. If those who sus- tain the President are such sticklers for warrants they would better try to show to the country that Roosevelt had war rant or authority to have the motto re- moved. It was merely one of his cranky impulses to do something un- usual He had no right, either legal or moral to take the step he did, but little things like laws and constitutions are not allowed to stand in the way of any action he decides to perform. His will is a higher law in his own conceit.

The Richmond Journal rather severe

The Richmond Journal rather severe ly criticizes the recent speech of Jus tice Brewer, of the United States Su- preme Court, in which he dealt the President some pretty hard blows. Perhaps it was somewhat unbecoming in the eminent jurist to make the re- marks he did but we think Roosevelt has no right to complain. for he is merely being paid back in his own coin. About 8 year ago. if we remem- Der correctly, Federal judge delivered a decision which Roosevelt considered wrong and his criticism of the judge almost amounted to insulting abuse. Now that he gets a taste of what he gave others he should not complain. nor should his partisans abuse Brewer, wrong though he may have been-if he Was wrong.

A POLITICIAN.

A good leaI of undeserved praise has been bestowed on the President for his alleged order that Federal officehold
 CTS should not go as delegates to the national Republican convention next year. but it turns out that he issued no such order. He merely ordered that no officeholder should go to the convention pledged and instructed to work for his renomination. Tt will be noted" says The New York Commer- cial, after quoting Roosevelts exact lan- guage, that there is here no inhibition on actually voting for Theodore Roose- welt as the Presidential nominee in the Republican national convention. The President does not say T hereby for bid the presentation of my name before the national convention of 19Os.' nor does he by the merest intimation or otherwise indicate that oficeholder support of his candidacy on the floor

The Nav York Sun incidentally ref

The New York Sun incidentally refers to "The Star-Spangled Banner as "a aournful and Respondent groan," and wants to have 1t discarded as our na- tional air and something substituted which will have more life and move ment in both air and words. So far as the tone is concerned we doubt if they can find anything better than Dixie" It Is a tune to march, fight or dance to, and fills the bill in either case. It Is good for ballroom. the march or the battlefield, and fills the bill in each case, The words. of course. would not answer for our national song. but some genius may arise who can fit words to 1t that will make~tt an ideal national song. At all events 1t would lsSk very much of being "a mournful and de- spondent groan."

In addition to his wocK as an editor, Sir Francis has produced vd a. quantity of light literature and sey- eral plays that met with snocess. The best known of his plays was "Black- Eyed Susan" which ran for 500 nights in London and was afterwards pro- duced for years in America. The or der of khighthood was confarred upon him in 1909 and recently he was grant ed a pension by the British Govern ment.

A rlNn EXAMPLE.

oklahoma's first Governor. c. N. flask ell. furnishes another evidence. of what can be accomplished in this country by energy and determination. Born in . home of the direst poverty. he was left an orphan at i've years of age, and sent to live with man who seems to have had no other god but money and but little of human feel ing. From the accounts we have read 1t is evident that young Haskell was little better than slave to a man who apparently had little of the milk of human kindness in him.. and who made the little orphans life one of helpless loneliness. bondage and mis- cry.
 And yet, in spite ot the efforts of Miller (his master),. to keep him down he managed, through the surreptitious assistance of Mrs. Miller, to acquire a fair education. While but boy he made application for the position of teacher in a country school and got it. although Miller, in the meanness of his heart, used every effort in his power to prevent the issuance of teachers s certificate to the boy. He got it, how ever. and a little later studied law and was admitted to the bar After he had tried his luck in Ohio, his native State, he went to Muskogee. Indian Territory. and it is said of him that he at once made known his ambition to be the first Governor of the new State. That he succeeded after a hard fight is due to the same unflagging determination that was so prominent in his early years. If he does not make the young State good Governor he will badly deceive those who know him best and have kept up with his career.
 Young Haskells experience furnishes a splendid object lesson to the boys of this country. His birth and environ ments, as we read of them. were of & character to keep any ordinary boy t the bottom of the ladder forever. Plac- i ing him, child of five years of age. under the control of such man as Miller is represented to have been. was enough to stifle whatever of hope and ambition he may have possessed. yet his indomitable spirit was not of a kind to be cowed or suppressed. He evidently had within him the making of man and had the courage to give unflinching battle to adverse circum- stances and conquer all obstacles. As
 we said, his example is one to encour- age boys and lead them to follow Has, kelfs career with interest, If he fails to make good as Governor he will belle his record of the past.

"Hogless lard'' is extensively advertised and sold, and we not infrequently think we are eat ing cowless butter, though it is not so labelled and advertised. We suppose henless eggs will come next. and atter another year we may be supplied with spiritless whiskey in Alabama. sub stitutes are great things-in their way.
