1t is different now. It matters not
how much Tafts friends may try to
make light Of the affair and claim that
1t amounts to nothing, the. fact re-
mains that this dissatisfaction on the
part of the negroes and the many signs
of revolt are causing grave fears and
doubts on the part of Roosevelt ON
account of Taft's candidacy. This Is

nraHrs ANN sENTIMENT.

The Baltimore American gives public
opinion credit for the determination to
return the discarded motto to our
coins. 1T may be perfectly safe" 1t
argues. Ito tamper with the rights OF
the American people, but when their
sentiments and traditions are inter-
fered with they are pretty likely to
become indignant" True, every word
Of It. While 1t is true that the I'm
God We Trust" motto had not reached
very venerable age In connection
with our coins II is certain that 1t had
come to be looked upon with as much
veneration and respect as ''E Pluribus
Unum" itself. and there were many
who would not have regarded coin as
genuine unless it had the time-honored
inscription in good plain English.
But sentiment for the motto and dis
approval of its disappearance was not
the whole of the trouble. There was
a pretty general feeling Of disapproval
and indignation over the manner Of
the act. 1t was felt that in ordering
the change the administration had been
guilty Of objectionable assumacy and
the people were not disposed to stand
for any such interference Even If the
Congress Of the United States had
unanimously enacted law for the re-
movaI Of the motto the people would
not have endorsed 1t. The motto, in
the opinion of the American people,
was so intimately associated with our
history that it's removal under any plea
and through any methods or authority
would have been resented. AS The
American says. it is much safer to
violate the rights of the people than
to do violence to sentiment and tradi-
ton.
