God Wo Trust,' the motto romoved
from Llio coimigo of tlio Unilod Slides
by oxpctillvo ordor Homo wocks ago
was today ordered used on all coins
of (lie nation, gold and silvor, by a
bill which passed the house of repre
sentatives. Tho vote on I lie bill on
passage was 250 to fi. The debate
on tho subject excited the liveliest
interest of members. Mr. Carlin of
Virginia said that in the issuance- of
bis order abolishing the motto Presi
dent Roosevelt had acted unwisely
and in violation of the spirit of tho
law. Ollie James. Kentucky, de
clared that in the judgment, of the
Christian people of the United States
the. president had made a great mis
take. In opposing the bill Mr. Kus
tormann, Wisconsin, said that the
motto smacked of irreverence, which
wont dangerously close to sacrilege.
'It's a piece of f archil hypocrisy,'
ejaculated Mr. Gordon, Tennessee,
One minute speeches in favor of tho
bill were mado by Messrs. Moore,
Pennsylvania; Shoppard, Texas; Ed
wards, Georgia; Iidlerbe, South Caro
lina; Pearro, Maryland, and Gardner,
Michigan."
The constituents of Mr. Lillard,
flno of tho men who bolted Mr. Beck
ham, democratic nominee for sena
for, adopted strong resolutions con
demning the misconduct of their rep
resentative. They also adopted reso
lutions favoring tho election of
United States sonators by direct vote,
also favored Governor Beckham as
ono of tho delegates at largo to Don
ver and tho casting of Kentucky's
vote for Mr. Bryan.

and these are to be filled by the ad
vancement of Captain Seaton Schroe
dor and Captain Richard Wain

the third and fourth squadrons of
the fleet, and Rear Admiral Emory

Mr. Bryan spoke at the St. Pat
rick's day banquet of the Irish Fel
lowship club, taking as his subject
"Signs of the Times." lie said: "Tho
tilings that hold us together as citi
zens aro more important than those
which array us In hostile camps," he
said early in his talk, and with this
sentiment as a key thought, ho con
nnod himself to broad issues. Ho
urged a union of irishmen through
out the world, whether Catholic or
Protestant. "Love of liberty is not
tho sole possession of any one
church," ho said, "in America,
speech, press and religion are free.
And in this country wo can unite,
not only in dofonso of liberty, but in
sympathy with all who struggle for
it everywhere."

Missouri, is the democratic nominee

The trial of General Richard C.
Home, charged with the murder of
II. G. Grove, is in progress at Kan
sas City. The defense is insanity.
ganized labor, represented by Tony
Donahoe, president of the Central
Labor union, entered an energetic
protest this morning against the in
dorsement of Taft by the Second re
publican congressional district con
vention, breaking like a nightmare
into the peaceful plan of harmony
that the machine had proposed for
the convention. It was at the meet
ing called to select district delegates,
alternates and a presidential elector
for this district. Resolutions were
presented by Harry Brome indorsing
the Roosevelt administration, the
Taft candidacy and the Sheldon rec
ord. It was at this point that Mr.
Donahoe arose to make known in
terms which no one could misunder
stand just how organized labor
stands on the Taft proposition. 'We
are against Taft now,' he declared,
'and wo will be against Taft if he
is the nominee. We regard him as
our natural enemy. I voice the sen
timents of the Central Labor union
which represents 5,000 laboring men
of this city. In naming a candidate
for president we should look to the
interests of this county, and, if Taft
is the nominee, he will lose the
vote of every republican member of
organized labor here. The position
of organized labor is firm on this
matter. Taft has always shown him
self opposed to its interests. That is
where he stands at present and that
is where he can be expected always
to stand. For this reason I can not
see this resolution adopted without
making known to you just where
wo stand and what you may expect
to lose in the event of a Taft nom
ination.' That Mr. Donahoe's an
nouncement threw something akin to
scare into the delegates was appar
ent from the listless 'Aye' which the
resolutions brought forth, though
Mr. Donahoe was alone on the nega
tive side."
Senator W. J. Bryan, who was re
cently appointed to represent Flor
