STANDARD OF MORALS
One for Man Another for Woman. Great
Responsibility of the Latter.
[ From the Macon Ga. Time. J


Argument is necessary to
convince an intelligent mind
that society has two codes of
morals-one for man, another
for woman. That for man is
liberal, liberal in the broader
sense of the word. 1t gives
him latitude. True he is teth.
cred, but the tether is long and
more than that it is elastic. 1t
lets him go; it draws him back.
He may fall on the street, lie
may make his bed in the gutter
and yet not be al hopeless
wretch. Reformers will talk
to him and when he starts up
society will extend welcome
hand. He can use profane Ian
guage and not lower his social
startling. He can steal. he can
foully murder. he can ruin in
nocent womanhood, and, from
these degrading deeds climb to
an anchoring place in society.
Not so with woman. When
once she falls in the street,
society wants her no more.
When her lips are soiled with
profanity, the brand mark is
put upon her and she is shun
ned. When her feet wander
from the path of virtue, she is
forced to dwell with the out.
cast and her doom is forever
fixed Is it right that woman
should be dealt with so rigidly
and man so leniently? Is it
right to magnify crime in one
and minify crime in the other?
Society says yes, and society
is not so far wrong as one
would think when first he
glimpses the subject. It's error
is in dealing with man too
easily and not that of fixing
different standards. Harsh as
it may sound, we make bold to
assert that there should be two
codes-that the stricter should
be for woman. 1t should be so
for the reason that crime il
woman is greater than the same
crime in man. 1t is greater be.
cause of her superior influence.
An audaciouS crime in Roose
welt would be worse than the
same crime committed by a
man in the humber walks of
life-worse because it would be
noticed by more people aud
have more imitators. His re.
sponsibility is greater and with
that increased responsibility
comes an increased account
ability. That woman has an in
tluence superior to that of man
is readily seen. She it is that
fixes the standard Of society.
If she dwell on a low plane,
the. standard is low; if she
dwell on a higher plane, the
standard is high. Boast as he
may of his social pull, man
must admit the standard is fix
not by him self. but by the fine
hand of the opposite sex. In
works for good, in works for
bad, superb ority belongs to
woman With tender heart,
with gentle hand, with plead
ing voice, she can touch the
hayward wher every other
power on earth has failed To
the sick room she is the angel
of mercy, to society she is the
influence that gives it tone, to
the purity aud happiness.

HONESTY vs.. POLICY
Is Honesty PoIicy1 Argument Given by
aSt. Louis Man to the Contrary.

To the Editor OF the Post Dispatch.
Some days ago a correspond
ent preached the question in
this columns:
rs honesty simply policy?"
No response having yet ap.
peared in print. l ask leave to
open the inquiry into this mat
ter so vitality touching TO US
all.
Hone sty is not policy; for
the reason that instantly it be-
comes dishonesty. Honesty is
frank sincerity and probity.
Policy is art, strategem, cum
ming. Sincerity and probity
can never anna lgamate with
strategem and cunning. The
old saw Honesty is the best
police, is stultlfying on it's
very lace. Honesty assumed
for policy's sake is sham, a
trick, false. counterfeit. only
pretense TO gain an end. In
word, it is dishonesty.
There is no division in con.
science. Commercial consci-
ence is individual conscience. If
he lies to the assessor and
"scorrs to utter a falsehool to
a friend" he is nevertheless
wholly dishonest. He boldly
and brazenly lies to the asses
sor because he feels lie may do
so with impunity ana immunity.
He scorns to tell a lie to
friend because he feels it is
policy. He needs and desires
that friends repect and good
will. He is truthful and hon
est TO gain an end. He is art
full and strategic, and therefore
dishonest.
Diogenes was cynic; but his
carrying Il lighted lantern at
midday in vain search was no
cynicism. 1t was a Truth. Yet,
all men honor and yearn for
honesty.

SHOULDBE ELECTED Blythe
PEOPLE.

1t is important that the com
missioner of the revenue should bt
elected by the people, and serve
more than one term at a time. In
order to discharge the duties of the
Office efficiently he is bound to get
acquainted with all the taxpayers
and citizens in his district, and
know something about their affairs.
1t is practically impossible for
any one to do this in an ordinary
district in less than two or three
years, 80 a commissioner has really
to serve one term to qualify him.
self for the office. The people
understand this as is shown by the
fact that commissioners of the
revenue have been heretofore, as
rule, continued in office longer by
successive elections than any other
class of officials, except, perhaps,
county clerks. If they are not
allowed to succeed themselves, in
convenience and dissatisfaction
will ain ost certainly result.
The Constitutional Convention,
however, anticipating that, if
elected by the people, the COM
of the revenue might be
tempted to swerve from their duty |
to the State in order to gain favor
with voters to whom they would
be looking for future support, pro-
vided that if the office were made
an elective one, commissioner
should be ineligible to succeed
