ALL MEN ARE LIARS.
So Declares Mrs. Irving, a Chicago
Business Woman.
VIII Pay One Thousand Dollars to
Any Person Upon Proof That He
Acted HonornbIy In Busi=
ness for One Month.

With 81 900 in lieu of n lantern Mrs.
Nancy b. Irving, book publisher,
las started out to emulate Diogenes
N his search for an honest man
Mrs. Irving is not pessimist who
thinks there are no honest men In the
world, according to the common ae-
.eptance of the term, but she believes
1 is an impossibility to live strictly
honest business or professional life
inder the present conditions of So
.iety. To prove the point Mrs. Irving
,t1ers to deposit 1000 in Chicago
sank, which will be paid to the first
business or professional man who can
.onclusively prove that he has carried
,n his work for month without ly-
ng. She is anxious to prove the
9oint because of book she has in
flew.
The conditions are simple. Mrs. Ir-
ring will name two men, the man who
kinks he holds title to the 1000
muy name two, and fifth will be
lamed by these four. They will act
as Judges upon the business record
Of the claimant: trusting him to tell
MS own story and give all the evil
lence.
Mrs. Irving thinks she will not lose
the 81 900. If she does she Is quite
certain the honesty of the man who
gets it will have reduced him to such
poverty that he will need it..
Mrs. Irving, with Emil Blum and
Sigmund Alexander, propose to put
forth their ideas anent the general
tendency of the modern man and
woman to follow in the footsteps OF
Ananias. Every man, they hold, is
obliged to play the part of a respect
able liar and thief to succeed in busi
ness. The business man lies to his
competitors and patrons and steals
from his employees or from society al
large.
Il do it myself" said Mrs. Irving
to Chicago Tribune reporter, "be

cause to live at the present time I am
obliged to take advantage of society
as it exists. l hope for other condi-
tions of society. That is why | pub
lish this book"
The plot they have in mind is this
Eight men who were former college
chums are assembled at an. anniver-
sary dinner when the story begins. A
ninth member of the brotherhood
suddenly enters the room. He has
been abroad for many years and was
not expected. His eight friends We're
in the act of drinking his health. and
one of the speakers had toasted him
in these words:
1.-THE Joseph of sons and brothers,
the Castor of friends, the Bayard of
purity, and the st. George of the
oppressed"
Lies, all lies," is his dramatic ex-
clamation.
A discussion is started, and it re-
suits in wager of the eight men
with the ninth, whose name is Rust.
Rust agrees to forfeit $1,000 to any
one of the other men who can live his
professional and social life for one
week without lying. The eight men
represent various professions and oc-
equations, and the story follows them
through their endeavors to be per
fectly honest on all occasions.
There are plenty of opportunities
for humorous situations in the course
of the narrative. One of the men, 9
university professor, goes before q
woman's club with the determination
to see what effect plain, unvar
nished statement of the truth viii
have. The result is so disastrous thai
he does not recover in time to resume
the race.
The editor was in the worst way O.
all of them. He attempted to print
nothing but the truth in his paper
The subscription list began to fall 81
rapidly and the advertisers were 81
offended that he rclinquihed all CLAIM
to the 1000 and accepted society a
he found it. The others had their va
rious experiences, humorous an,
tragic.
"The first impression conservative
people get when they hear about thi
book" said Mrs. Irving, sis that
may be radical attack on dishones
business men. 1t is nothing of tn
| sort.
81 believe the social condition
which make it necessary for a bus
ness or professional man as well as
large majority Of other men to Ii
can be remedied. I do not hope for
revolution. But / do believe tina
who Lies?' will suggest many stril
ing thoughts to people which wi
work toward regeneration of socii
conditions.
"For one thing, the fact we are a
more or less liars and thieves unde
present conditions, when we becon
conscious of it, gives us differer
opinion of our less fortunate fellow
men,"

THE New York Times celebrat-
ed the fiftieth anniversary of it's
founding on Wednesday last by
issuing a jubilee number. In in
tellectual strength, in thorough
ness as real newspaper, in cons
cientious adherence to high
standard, the Times is easily at
the head of the newspapers of
New York. 1t is enterprising and
well abreast of the times, without
beng yellow, it is profound with
out being dull, it maintains a
strain of delightful humor with
out being aippant or triaing. Its
half century of existence sits
lightly on the Times. 1t is young
and robust and hearty and whole
some. 1t is enjoying prosperity
and the respect ofthe community.
The career of the Times proves that
honesty is the best policy. The
Times has always been honest and
bold and fearlessly independent.
We do not hesitate to describe
it as the first American newspaper
in character and ability.

AN UNSEEMLY CONTEST.

If the dispute as to the identity
of the man who seized and over
powered the assailant of President
Mckinley continues much longer
its unseemliness will exhaust the
patience of the public. Then
there will be revealed with some
emphasis the existence of a wide
spread feeling, hitherto charitably
silent, that the contestants for
credit are basing their claims on
an act which, however admirable
In itself, was not sufficiently re-
markable either for danger or
difficulty to earn any great amount
OF glory for anybody.

THE SUBSIDY STEAL.

The advocates of the infamous
shipsubsidy steal are now attempt
ing to revise the measure in such
a manner as to conceal its mean
ing. While practically all the
Republican leaders believe in the
principle involved, there seems to
be considerable friction among
them in considering the expedien-
cy of forcing its passage, When
first introduced in the winter OF
1899 it met with serious opposi-
ton from a large number of Re
publican Congressman who did
not have the audacity to face their
constituency for n vindication so
soon after the swindle. Hence it
was held over but not renounced.
Now it has been determined to
push the measure early during the
next session, and the gentlemen
who have some sense of political
decency are preparing a substitute
embodying the same principles but
more cunningly worded The
chances are that the Hanna ele-
ment will refuse to submit to the
substitution. At any rate it does
not matter particle to the people
which steal receives the official
sanction. The measure is really
no worse in principle than the pro-
tective tariff steal whereby the
many are robbed to build up trusts
for the protected few, but being
less complicated it is more easily
understood
That there is no need for the
Government to tax the people in
the interest of the shipbuilding in
dustry is shown by the remarkable
activity which has been displayed
in the shipyards now existing and
the building of new yards. There
is not a man connected with the
industry who is not immensely
wealthy. James j. Hill, President
of the Great Northern railroad, and
the owner of fine feet of ships,
but who is a Democrat, exposed
the rottenness of the steal when he
said that it would be of great profit
to mine gentlemen-all friends.
A plan is now being considered
whereby all the shipyards in Am
erica will eventually be consolida-
ted in ono colossal trust. The
question is, do the people propose
to permit Congress to legislate
millions of dollars out of their
pockets into the overfowing Golfers
of multi-millionaire ship-owners?
Whatever substitute-if any
may be decided upon, the meas
ure will mean exactly that-the
looting of the treasury through
process of law. It is to be hoped
that the Republicans will be able
to decide upon some measure
which they can unanimously sup.
port. The people will then have
an opportunity to express them-
selves upon the subsidy principle
in the next Congressional cam
paign.
