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. |
