ABOUT GREEK COINS
Those Struck in the Fourth Century B
 c. Models of Perfection

| From the Saturday Review.
 | The invention of coinage is due to the Greeks, most probably to the bankers of Halicarnassos and adjacent Asia Minor Greek colonies, who toward the end of the eighth century B. O. began stamping the small gold and electron ingots which passed through their hands as currency with mark of some sort intended to guarantee the weight and purity of the metals; such ingots very soon assumed round and more regular shape, which we find already in the old CT silver coins from Aegina, nearly con temporary with the Asia Minor "beans.''
 Curious to say, none Of the surround ing peoples with whom the Astatic and European Greeks were in constant con- munication, political or commercial, took up the wonderful invention which at preesnt seems to us of such obvious necessity that We scarcely realize how the civilized world of old can ever have got on without it; as matter of fact, however, neither the Phoenicians, with their practical commercial sense, nor the Lydians, or the Persians, who claimed the supremacy over the very cities where the new currency was initi- ated, nor, of course, the Egyptians, ever had coinage till the conquests of Alex. ander disseminated the Greek civili- zation all through the eastern world.
 The Romans came to know of it through the Greek cities of Sicily and Magma Graecia, and began striking sill yer coins toward the beginning of the third century B. O. In the meantime, with the Greeks, die-sinking, like every. thing else, had fallen with the domain of art. and their coins, above all those struck during the fifth and fourth cen. turies B. O., by the Dorians of Sicily at Syracuse and Agrigentu1n, have never been equaled and remain forever a Standard of beauty for the artist and a model of perfection for the die-sinker.

dations on which the new edifice is to be constructed are ready. The nation is asked to cooperate with the builders. It will do so cheerfully, with great faith.
 The nation is entering upon a new era, not so much an era of new laws as an era of enforcement of laws, and the application of old principles. The institutions of this country stand not upon basis of prosecution, but on a basis of judicial principles. It has, how ever, been peculiarity of this country that it has not so much resisted as ne- glected law. The operation of the law has been astonishingly slow. This could not have been the case had public opin- ion habitually commanded promptness, as well as impartiahty in the working of the machinery which is at hand. The American has been too apt to regard the law as intended for his neighbor rather than himself. But if the awak- ening of the national conscience is a real awakening, this condition hence forth will be reversed. And it is just here that reconstruction is necessary, that the creative work of the new era will find scope.

CENTRAL AMERICAS NEED

According to special correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, Honduras would welcome tho protection of the United States to guard it from insurrec- tion within and the machinations of it's stronger neighbors, Guatemala and Mic aragua.
 It is unfortunate that the government, because of an unwritten law of public prejudice, cannot form protectorate over all the Central American repub- lies. It is distinctly to our material interest that revolutions should end in all those countries, and that they should be developed in their great natural re- sources.
 Humanitarianism points the same way. It is well enough to say that every people have the right and must have the Responsibility of working out their own salvation in their own way. But this means generation after genera tion of turmoil, waste and degredation.
 These little republics can be reached effectively only by the strong arm of force. Upon the initiative of Secretary Root they are now under compact to keep the peace with each other and sub, init their mutual grievances to arbi- tration.
 But no one believes that this will stand against the ambition of any of them when opportunity seems ripe, nor does it stop revolution. What these countries need is peace, long years of assured peace, that capital and industry may feel safe and be given a chance.
 This can come only from outside in- duence backed by force, and it would be a boon to each of them and to this coun- try as well if the United States would forget the warnings of Washington and the political bigotry of a narrow past long enough to extend this blessing to them.

WAS ADAM A LOAFER?

Mrs. Catherine W. McCulloch of Ev- anston, said to be the only woman jus tice of the peace in this country, has astcnished the Society of Anthropology by denouncing Adam as a loafer. Web ster defines loafer as "One who lott CTS or passes time idly Of course such an attack upon the first of his race would naturally come from woman while the men Will claim, also very naturally, that Adam was pretty de- cent sort of chap until woman lured him into taking bite out of that apple. That, however, is an old, old, argument, which will probably never be settled.
 The only charge brought against Adam by Mrs. McCulloch is that he loitered and passed his time idly. The question naturally arises as to what Adam could have found to do, even if he had been inclined to the strenuous life. The garden of Eden had been de- scribed as an Utopia where there was little opportunity or necessity of a young man trying to get ahead in the world by physical or mental labor. Ad- am had nothing to strive for as, being the only man on earth, he was the most successful and prominent of his time. While Adam remained bachelor there was nothing to spur him on to great en- deavor and he was not reminded of his laz.ness until he annexed wife, which condition holds good to the present day.
 Where could Adam have found work if be had been looking for it7 He couldn't have got job as motorman of a trolley car or place in a sawmill because both of those forms of endeavor were unknown. There was no wood to split, no coal to carry up from the base ment, no ashes to empty, no snow to clean of, no lawn to trim and no car pets to pound. The only thing that Adam could possibly have done with the assets at hand was to have started a circus and menagerie, but he would most likely have made dismal failure of this on account of the scantiness of the. population. He would have been obliged to post the bills, pitch the tent, sell the tickets, collect them, pass the red lemonade and do all of the bare back riding and trapezc work himself which would bo too much work for enc man. Therefore, if our first ancestor preferred to live the life of a retired gentleman, it appears that it is a little late in the day to criticise him adverse ly. Adam may have been a loafer but if he was it was as much through ne- cessity as inclination.

 For the American public there has been White House. ever since the presidential residence was first under construction, no less a person than George Washington-who is said to have bad in mind the Virginia home where he wooed the Widow Custis- setting the example.

Executive Mansion III Fits Demo cratic Manners of Our Presidents

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 It scarcely matters, however, what the president may call his official home. He may insist that he resides in the Execu- tive Mansion; congress may refer to it in these terms, social invitations may bear the dignified title. The public will continue to call it the White House, for 1t likes it better. It brings the stately residence nearer home. We all live ill "houses," the idea of mansion" does not harmonize with American democ- racy. Particularly is mansion an un- fit place of abode for man who glories in the name "Bill.'

Documents Support Valuations

Hollister had armed himself with af-
fidavits, statistics and probate sales in
support of his valuations. He reported
a total of 15,343, ,329.
The board was inclined at the outset
to believe that lands in the southern
part of the county had been valued too
low, but King and Hollister explained
that unusual damage had been caused
by the floods of last winter. The as
SCISSORS figures, on the evidence before
the board, show a valuation of about
so per cent, the state standard. 1t is
not likely that San Luis Obispo county
will be raised.
About what percentage do you think
we should add?" asked Chairman
Brown in jest. Il think 10 per cent
decrease would be about right, Hol-
lister replied, and then he entered into
an argument for reduction.
