WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—One of the honors which Warren G. Harding will forego, by his policy of simplicity first at inauguration time, is that of having his profile struck on a gold medallion as an inaugural souvenir for himself. these coins were, it is believed, minted in England, Washington is said to haye been indignant over the sugges- tion that such coins become standa He insisted on the destruction of dies for pieces bearing his! head, and sdvo- cated in ‘their place designs with a head of Liberty. The senate held that the 'president’s head should ‘in re- spe¢t to him be used on the money of the republic, but the house agreed with Washington, and a law was en- acted as the president wanted it, Ever since the time of William Henry Harrison this has been one of the cusioms of the occasion. the likeness of the new executive {s presented to him, another goes to the vice president and a third to the chair man of the inaugural committee. Si-| ver duplicates go to chairmen of the| inaugural me: and made for museums and collector: These medals are among the perma- nent souvenirs of the administration, and as such they are alway subcommittees, bronze ar, the cominittes on medals to eclipse all pus Pianne& perform- ances in artistic finish. Eleven de-| signs were submitted and one had been selected. It bore the profiles of| Harding and Coolidge with Harding in front. Inscribel around the heads were phrases selected as typl-| fying the policies of the two—"Amert-| ca First" for Harding, and “Law ana Order” for Coolidge. ‘The side of the medal was to carry Colum- bia seated, looking toward the na- tional Capitol, her left hand leaning on the national coat of arms, and her right holding the fasces, symbolic of the unity of the republic. The inaugural medal ig financed by e subscription Washington, so that 500 copies, costing about $2,000, do not reprefent any expense to the federal treasury. Even so, the medal will probably not be produced this year, as the committees are now Gissolved and the money ‘raised for the medal is to be returned. ‘There will, however, be a bronze in- @ugural medal which any one can buy, because the United States mint al ways celebrates this way. Few peo- ple know that the Philadelphia mint runs a sort of art shop, where the public can buy pictures in bronze of all of our presidents and some naval heroes and other great men. This is no joke, like the aged wheeze of a steel engraving of Wash- ington for 2 dents—in other words, a postage stamp. Most of the mint's likenesses sell for $1 and are round bronze medallions, 3 inches in diame- ter. They carry the head of the hero, usually in profile, on one side and appropriate lettering or symbols gn the reverse. Medals for the Indians. It is said that originally the gov- ernment produced these bronze ob- Jects of art to inculcate love and patriotism in the Indians. Among the first of these examples to the Indians were three medals known as the Season's Medals. They are now ex- tremely rare. A set of three sells for about $1,000. All three were made @uring Washington's secohd pres!- @ency, but his portrait was not used on them. Instead, the dates and ad- ministration were marked on the back between a design of crossed oak and laurel leaves. ‘The other side bears the pictures by which the Indians were to profit Spring is represented by a farmer sowing grain, and another man plow- ing, with a farm house at one side. Summer has a shepherd watching his flock, with mountains in the back- ground and the house still in the dis- tance. Autumn was skipped, and in the winter medal the scene shifts to the interior of the house, revealing a woman weaving at a loom, another spinning and a child rocking a baby's cradle. Lest there be any mistake, each scene is labeled U. 8. A, It is not plain now just exactly what the early republic expected to teach the Indians by these idyllic scenes. The Indians knew how to plant and raise corn, few of them had sheep to tend, they certainly were past masters at the art of weaving and their record for taking care of their children seems to be as good as any. The idea was, possibly, to prove ta the original land owners that the country was not going to the dogs in sthe white man’s hands, and that the new republic was a stable and home- respecting proposition. Maybe, in ad- dition to this, the red men were ex- pected to fold their tents and take to Colonial mansions and four-poster beds. It is not clear. These prizes were handed out to the good Indian chiefs, and they must have been somewhat satisfactory for medal making for various purposes continued. There were over a hun- dred different medals-of Washington, commemorating his virtues and fame. It was always the peace-loving side of Washington that was stressed in these bronze memorials.
