| IL not chronic tendency toward eNag-
| geration and Misrepresentation, an
editorial reluctantly points out n late
case which under the circumstances
might be called Infamous. and in the
news columns of same date there are
statements and denials almost in the
same paragraph. all given with as
much nonchalance as IL they were the
veriest truth.
TO call attention to modern or daily
lapses may not correct such cases from
the far away. but the fact is not to he

| to let their yea be yea, and nay, nay,
| with the supreme warning that what
soever is more than this cometh of
evil;" among scriptural denunciatlons
| none are more suggestive than are
those in regard to liars and lying, and
even in the beginning OF the Israelitlsh
pollty, among the Slnaitic commands

false xvitness arainst thy neighbor."
