A STANDARD OF MORALS

The magazine writer who discovered
that honesty is an abstract something
the measure Of which is the difference
between a mans ideals and his habits
hit upon very comfortable theory. We
measure moral progress, national
morality i'll particular, by aggegate
honesty. By the rule laid down if is
possible to figure an advance or a. fall
as may be desired, and with a little
Juggling of standards both are possible
at the same time; which is so manifest
convenience that it is wonderful the
theory has been SO slow IN appealing
to popular taste. In it's terms it is tha
solution of the vexed question as to
whether the world is growing better Or
worse. 1t depends entirely on whether
you measure by ideals or habits. If is
probably true that the two are COM
ing closer together, and, in that sense
the man Of today is more honest than
was his father; but whether habits
have been growing up to ideals or ideals
have been coming down to habits is q
question so nice that it is not to be
answered out of hand.
The man of today does things that
his father would not have considered
! practical applications of the golden
rule. He organizes trusts and crushes
competitors; but, according to the com
mercial ideas that obtain, this is not
to be condemned and is in every sense
proper proceeding. 1t may not be a
highly ideal custom, but it is not dis
honest. In politics he buys votes and
legislatures, where he would not think
Of robbing the state and his neighbors
by any other means. He probably
would not attempt to defend the trade
on moral grounds. but would resent
any insinuation that petty larceny
would be more respectable. The man
in trade drives sharp bargains who
would not cheat at cards, and the GUS
| tom of sighting tailor's bill to satisfy
| obligations of honor is so well recog-
nized thai it is a standard bit Of humor
| for the paragraphers Of the comic
weeklies. Such examples, which may
| be multiplied without number indicate
| that honesty, If not a lost art, is a pure
| ly relative matter like modesty or a
! taste for music.
Applying the rule to nations, 1t will
| probably be found that the rate OF ret
| repression or progress is fairly uni
