|t-a 4 r ( j VOL. X. ARP AND THE LIARS Bill Talks of The S?ns of The Pres. cat Day In The World. ABOUT LYING AND STEALING. Corruption in Politics of tli? Day and Stealing f'rom tne Public Crib?Different Kinds of Liars. We are not distressed at the overthrow or Tbnimany In New York. Seventy years is long enough for a party or a political power to rule a groat metropolis. Corruption breeds more mag gots as tho city grows, for as Thomas Jefferson said: "Tho growth of great cities is pestilential to good morals." The public treasury is a thing to lie plundered, whether it be municipal, stnt" or national. There are thousands of men who would not steal from me. but would steal the money I p>y into tho treasury, for there it bennies s> mixed up that nobody knows whose money it is. It is junt as it was tvvo autulred years ago. when Swift wio e: MJroat fleas have little fleas upon the'r hacks to hi to era. \nd t.ttle fleas have lesser fleas, and so on ad infinitum." There is one comfort about all this public plunder. The money docs not i lead. ?t has to be invested and giveMiiployment to labor. A millionaire . ant cat nor wear out much more than 1 can. nor will he lock up liia money and lot it rest. Not long ago I asked a clever northern man why it was that rich people who p ly the most >f the taxes let thr pension stal go u so long and get bigger every year? I \ .smiled and said: "Why that petition money goes mostly to the poor inri we get it all back sooner or laier. it is our cheapest way of support ng Mi em. especially when we li -ve your bdp." Poor Garflolu. In his last m s<age lie lamented that the pension rolls had got to the alarming sum of $150.500.0(10. hut s:i'd there was comfort in hat if was nli1li?oH ? .n^<? tiv J rasij iiu.ii natural reuses, for death was the coninon lot and tho pensioners were rapidly decreasing in number. He was mistaken. They have been multiplying ? v r Binee he was killed, and now it takes ?150.000,000 (o pay the roll. Public plunder would not bo so had f it was done In the open. What aggrovatcs uk is that It hs dc^p^ on tho slv hto-.igh eorrtiption, tlttough bribes, "ranehiKPs, charters. lic|f? ses. salaries tnd nehnmos. It always Texts nie to set' the cook hiding something or her liild carrying off a bundle-on the sly tnd hiding it under her apron as site s going home. Hut they are nil so k n 1 tnd ; willing and so good to th > children that we saw wood and say n >thutg. They remind me of what a blind dirennlopist said of a public offi< a. n Rome while feellng tho humps >t hi:, head, lie did not know him at all out said. "This man Is kind-heart I >nd good-natur 1 nnd would do vo:t a favor if you were in distress, hip hi will s'eal. If lv found a man a.slee t tlonc in !t room at night he would slip it purse front out his pocket, bur would !:i s him before he left hint." llo liitpnos d the man correctly, for ho wns turned out of office soon aft t for iTthczyliiig tho public mon?y. nnd e. ; > Tody was sorry for hint because he was so generous with his plunde r. Mealing from the public crib seems to he ? higher grade of crime titan ly'ng. I hough it takes lying and liypocr.cy tnd deceit to aecomi lish it. I have ofen wondered why lying was not forbidden in the Ten Commandments. "Thou shall not steal" Is there, bill "thott shalt not lie" Is not there, and vet it is accursed all through the scriptures and is the last sin recorded In he last chapter of Revelations and in tearly the last verse. "For without crc dogs nnd sorcerers, and whoro itongcrs and murderers and whosrev->r loveth and make-th a lie." According i<> navui, that sin dl 1 not leave very many to enter heaven, for he says. "I mid In mine haste all men are liars." Die old Scotch preacher took It for a ext and his first remark was. "Ah, David, me mon, if ye had waited until aow ye might have said it at your leisure." laying is no dount the most universal sin among mankind, but it is raded and not alwa>s a sin. Stealing .s always a sin. but lying must ho malignant or harmful. Paul sent Titus o Crete and wrote to hint that he would have a hard true In estahlishng a church there, tor the Creatans were all liars. Crete is Candia now. ari sland in the Mediterranean, inliabit?d by Mohammedans chiefly, and trav lers pay that they are no better now ban they were in St. Paul's day. for 'hey are not only liars, hut thieves. Knglnnd used to havr laws to punish rommon soldiers, common drunkards and rommon vagabonds, but none to punish common liars, for they are K -nerally harmless. Every community tins one or two and they keep us amused at their Munchausen exploits in hunting and fishing and their nar-ow escapes. Then th re are some un .iiniiion liars - liars of the first magnitude as Shakespeare calls th?m. such >s liar on Munchausen: Joe Mulhattan and sonic Chicago cd'tora anil preachers. Some of these get into the pulpit and make up pathetic stories ant) thrilling Incident to emphasizze their -c rmona and create a sensation. And ih re arc thousands of little white lieR society lies that have to bo told for I f w F0 civility's sake?lies tlint flatter anc please Liia vls'tor. the customer or th< patient. All these are spolcen lies, but ihere are as many acted lies in trading Rtich as concealing the truth and putting the best on top. In fact, everybody lies more or less except children and fools, though most of us mean no harm by it. My old partner used to say that some mighty clever mm would be shut out of heaven for swearing a lie tc their tax returns, for David says, 'Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle; who shall dwell In Thy' holy hill?he that sneaketh the truth in hia heart and sweareth to his own hurt and changeth not." Withholding what Is due to the state is as bad as stealing from 't. And wihhholding what a man ougnt to gtv< to the church he belongs to Is almost as great a sin as that of Ananias. It is stealing from God. Nothing that a member of the church can do sc readily Axes his character as a Christian as his willingness to give all thai he can according to his means. Titheand offerings hnv->. conic down to us from Cain and / . in an unbroken line. Cain was a I ! man. but he paid his tithes. 11 ? was first liar 0:1 r e? 1 * o 1 < V 1 PV(*f? ] Then there are the lio? published (.very day in the great daily paperspolitical lies, commercial lies and medical lies to catch the ignorant and unsuspecting; some reporters lie to show their diligence in business. Illglt coloring, ven n-ing. varnishing :ue essential qualities in a report r whether his journal be white or yellow. He must lie a little, even though it has to be taken back or niod iied the next day. And s,i the world wags on and the people havo In-come so accustomed to lies that lb y make allowance for everything they hear or read. When the historian wanted to cap the climax of General Washington's noble character he wove in that little story or the cherry tree atnl mado the hoy to say: "Father. I cannot tell a lie." And so I hope that all our little hoys will grow up I 1 be truthful men. Ikin't go behind the barn and smoke a cigarette, for that is telling a lie to your father. You can t<dl a lie by winking your eyes o* pointing your Anger or concealing what you do from your parents ur vorir teacher. If yon do wrong ov. 1 it like a gentleman and you will have their respect, as veil as your own. | llut the. downfall of Tammany was no defeat of the Now York democracy tor there were as many mood d:-ra- ; ocrats as republicans on that fusion ticket and thoy will help Low to rl an out the Augean stables.
