THE SOCIETY FALsEHOOD.

Are social falsehoods, those little
white lies" that are often used by per-
sons in society, wicked and sinful? Is it
Mrs. Blank or Miss Dash to send down
word that she is not at home, when she
is really ensconced in her boudoir with
a novel and does not wish to receive the
visitor announced? The Rev. DIR. Nc
Dowell, pastor of Methodist Church in
Baltimore, asserts that it is. All false
hoods, he says. are lies; all are repre-
hensible, and to be abominated. Eva
sions of the truth come under the same
head; and the social lie," he declares,
is the progenitor of the lie direct-the
malicious lie and the lie of scandal.
The preacher is intolerant of any ex-
cuse for telling a falsehood or an I'M
truth for the purpose of avoiding wound
ing ones feelings. If Mrs. A were to call
upon Mrs. b., and receive word at the
door, Mrs. 3. is at home but she does
not wish to receive Mrs. A." is it not
practically sure that the latter would be
so greatly offended that their friendship
WOulu DC permanently SSNefeuG Inc SUD-
terfuge of mot at home" which every
woman understands, saves both feelings
and friendships, Nevertheless the Balti-
more minister says it is wicked and a
lie.
A large part of social conversation is
made up of small talk which, considered
in itself, is without serious meaning.
Much of 1t is based on imagination sim
ply 1t would not stand close analy-
sis. The compliments, intended to please
the recipient, may be only from the lips;
nevertheless they do please and often
make happy. But DIR. Mcdowell thinks
1t were better to make miserable with
the truth than to make happy with
falsehood.
And how much unhappiness there would
be in the social world IL nothing but the
bald. bare. incontrovertible truth were
spoken! The whole plan of politeness
and social intercourse would be affected.
With everybody absolutely truthful I'm
word and act, an ideal state of society
might be achieved. But under existing
conditions, that person who started out
to speak nothing but the truth to so
eiety would speedily be tabooed, and pos
sibly hated for boorish bluntness. Never
theless truthfulness is a great virtue,
earnestly to be striven for, in society as
in business and domestic affairs.

peculiar fact that there has seldom been
a defaulting internal revenue collector.
The system governing these officials has
never been more rigid than the system
governing other services. Why they have
a clean record while other branches have
not is a matter which the Washington
officials say they cannot explain.
Whether the taking in of our island de
tendencies will have the effect of sending
upward the percentage of official thefts
remains to be seen. A start in that d.
rection has been made, in both Cuba ana
the Philippine Islands. Medley is now in
Cuba awaiting trial for large thefts, and

Addicks again prevented an election
in Delaware. He wanted the senatorship,
but declared that IL he could not be elect
ed nobody else should. He failed to
achieve his ambition to go to Washington,
but he kept another from going. For
more than FIVE years now Addicks has
prevented Delaware from having a full
delegation in the Senate, through the use
of money in manipulating politics. The
mans very name has become an offense
to decent politicians, nevertheless he con-
tinues to keep himself in evidence. Adj

Some weeks ago Denmark tried a little
game Of bluff on the United States, for
the purpose of hurrying up the sale Of
her West India Islands. 1t was stated
that the Danish government had conclud-
ed not TO sell. and that Danish capital
lists had been found who would finance
the islands. since they would become very
valuable when the Nicaragua canal had
been constructed. The blum failed 90
work. Now Uncle Sam has put up a
little bluf OF his own. He has reminded
Denmark that there Is such thing as
the Monroe doctrine, ana that II will be

Many of these employees are now grow
ing old and there is a movement to have
them put on the pension list. None of
them save anything for old age or sick
ness, or, If there are any, the number is
so small that it is hardly worth noticing.
1t would not be at all surprising if within
the next few years the movement to
pension worn-out employees would be sue
cessful. The certainty that there would
be a demand for pensions was Ione Of the
strongest arguments in favor of the spoils
system. BY that system the changes are
so frequent that few grow old in the
service. IL the demand for pensions should
become so strong that there would be but
little probability of resisting it, public
sentiment might favor going back to the
spells system.

wHERE THE MONEY GOES.

big item in the appropriations which
Congress makes is for the salaries of
department employees of the government.
number of these employees increases. why
so many are needed no one is prepared
to say. Every once in a while there
comes a demand for extra help, and when
new places are created it seems that they
are never abolished, even though the
need for them has ceased.
Il is probable that, at a safe calcula-
ton, the departments at Washington
could be conducted. just as well as they
are now, by two-thirds OF the number of
employees on their pay rolls. No doubt
some of them earn all the money they
get, but the most of them are paid
much more than they could earn outside
Of the government service.
II there could be a thorough overhaul
ing of the government employees. and only
those retained who are capable of render
ing good service, and whose services are
needed, millions of dollars would be saw
ed to the government annually. There is
ho piobaDllltS, however, OF any SuCn re-
form being made About every one of the
employees has Congressional influence. II
one of them is discharged a congress-
man wants to know the reason, and. in
most cases, no reason that can be given
is satisfactory. The congressman will not
be satisfied until the discharged employee
is reinstated. 1t is probable that there
are dozens of employees. it may be hun
dreds, who are slowed away in the de-
partments somewhere and who are prac-
ucally forgotten by all except the man
who makes out the weekly pay roll.
The following statement contains the
number of employees in the departments
at the national capitol, together with the
amount which they draw from the gov
eminent yearly. 1t does not contain con-
gressmen and the employees of Congress
nor any of the vast army of government

good roads in Georgia one half of the
teams employed could do twice the work

of dollars every year. The counties and
towns that are first to build good road
systems will be the first to get rich.

Secretary Gage, it seems, is determined
to hit Russia whenever he can. He has
suspended an order issued some time ago
permitting Russian war vessels to pur-
chase supplies from bonded warehouses
in the United States. Under the revised
statutes foreign war vessels are allowed
to purchase supplies from bonded ware
houses without the payment of duties,
provided the countries represented by the
vessels extend a similar privilege to the
United States, Officers of foreign war
ships visiting the United States frequent
ly avail themselves of this privilege. It
is denied by the treasury officials that this
latest order by the secretary is in any
way connected with the countervailing
duty matter though it is we'll under
stood that it will not tend to improve the
relations between the two countries.

when the Senate of the United States
shall undertake to consider the protest
against the seating of Senator Clark, of
Montana, it will not have the same propo-
sition to deal with that was presented on
the occasion OF his frst election. He did
not bride members of the Legislature this
time. He bought them at first hand
from the sovereign people. The state of
Montana might appropriately demand an
accounting of Senator Clark; but 1t is
hard to see what grip his fellow senators
will have upon him."
