EDITOR CAIRO BULLETIN There Is
an unfortunate and very general ten
dcncy. when excessive and enormous
crimes and immortality prevail in some
parts of the country, to regard it as evi-
dence of universal increase Of wicked
ness and general depravity Of mankind.
This way Of thinking is very much to be
deplored, as the state OF public morality
il considered to be far worse than II Is.
The recent sorrowful disclosures Of
dishonesty in the public officers of the
nation will cause many to think
that there is n growing dis
honesty all over the country, and
that no one can be trusted. The writer
contends that there is not. The tempta.
tons by which they have fallen are not
held out to the majority of people. The
fact is that really dishonest nature will
be dishonest anywhere and under any
culnstances-varing according to OPP
portunities and as true is 1t that an
honest one is likely to remain So
AcuipIatioHs WHICH Ac u'Sh'S oNS '"
the former. and overcome IL, are not
such at all to the latter. There are eX-
ceptions to this, as to all rules, but the
rule remains. AS to the effect Of the recent
official dishonesty on the country at large,
1t will doubtless tend to stimulate
and encourage those already dis.
honest and immoral to continue
so, and immortality among them
may increase; but to thousands and
thousands of the people of this country
and the world, 1t will have no more ten.
dency to demoralize than man has power
to stop the sun. Its only effect will be
to sadden and disgust, and strengthen
them In their integrity.
The writer does not believe in the COM
mon idea that the world Is worse than 1t
used to be. Opportunities and induce
ments to crime and an immoral Lille exist
now by the score where they were en-
tirely wanting In the early days Of OuI
country aud OF the world In any age
The inducements to morality also exist
IN the same proportion. There has also
been an enormous increase in population
These things should all be remembered by
those who incline to the opinion that
people are not as good as In olden times
and that the world is constantly growing
worse. Another thing Is certain, that
the public conscience has undergone a
decided change and that what was once
considered to be wrong. Is now believed
to DO wright-and can be done con-
scientiously. Let not. then. striking H.
Illustrations of depravity In certain parts
of the country create the impression that
immortality on the whole Is OH the In
crease, but let 1t be remembered that tht
wickedness of an act is to be measured
BY the incentives there are to Its commits
sion, and that these are the greates
among the few, while among the vas
body of the people they are wanting
and that as many, IL not more induce
ments to morality exist now THAI
ever. Do M
