As the evil that men DO and the
failures they encounter are always
exploited, while their virtues are
suppressed,ss 1t Is Ia busiaess and
other lines where honesty and pro-
blty are demanded, the occasional
defaulter and absconder Is touted
to an exaggerated degree by the
press, but never a word In aid or
praise of the thousands who are
faithful to trusts, and who are the
rocks on which are fouxded oar
faith In humanity and who keep
alive Our confidence In our fellow
men.
While we hear much of the de-
taulting bank clerk and the dis
honest official, you hear nothing OF
the thousands of bank clerks who
handle thousands every day, and
who account faithfully for every
penny; of the public officials who
have charge of hundreds of thous.
ands and administer their trusts
punctiliously. The fact that the
act of one Is news, while the act OF
others Is without news value,
probably Is the cause of the condi-

three things. First, that the fashions
