Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 January 1914 — “In God We Trust.” [ARTICLE]

“In God We Trust.”

The restoration by act of Congress of this motto to the new gold coinage from which it was omitted will be gratefully accepted. The weak spot in Mr. Roosevelt’s criticism of the phrase was his statement that it was made, when first placed upon oolns, the subject of burlesque and the object of irony. He said that the purpose of the omission was to avoid sacrilege, or words to that effect But all this is a mistake, u lsr. Roosevelt ought to know. The motto Is one that may well stand as that of the American people. They will not make fun of it
