Ability Versus Honesty.

Ability counts for something In
life, but honesty for more. because 1t
Is rarer.
No one likes to admit that the
world is growing more dishonest, still
the worlds own estimate OF itself
has to be taken, and 1t is continually
showing that 1t does not think 1t is
entitled 10 be trusted.
Visit any large business establish
ment where large number OF persons
are employed and what do you find?
You dicoyer that considerable
percentage OF the employees are en-
gagged In watching or checking other
employees for the purpose OF keeping
them straight or fnding out IL they
are crooked.
Complicated systems OF bookkeep-
ing that require more bOokkeepers
have been adopted TO prevent dis
honesty or to aid in Its discovery.
IL makes the conduct Of business
mole expensive and Of course results
in the public having to pay Tor II.
In the old days IL used to be taken
more for granted that the individual
possessed integrity. Now no chances
are taken In the matter, the pre-
sumption being that he will steal II
he has the opportunity.
Is II not possible that this new
commercial code may inspire dishon.
esty?
Doesn't 1t seem likely that If a man
knows he Is trusted he is going tC
have some pride In the fact and de.
serve the confidence reposed in him,
while on the other hand IL he feels

Wisconsin capitalists are consider

Rio Tamasopa Sugar company In
Mexico, Of which Dr. II. u. Tanner,
of kaukauna, Wis, IL president, and
IN which several Milwaukee men are
stockholders. The plan Is TO manu-
facture paper from the refuse OF the

his report is l1ost encouraging.
After receiving the report, Dr.
Tanner said: "Bsgssse, the refuse

found to be useful IN making paper
and Is vastly cheaper than wood pulp
or any other article from which paper

mitted numerous specimens Of high
grade paper made from bagasse.

from the start that without any
cause he is suspected and Is treated
like thief. isn't he going to lose
self-respect?
Sarcastic illusions TO governmental
red tape used to be frequently made,
but tape of the same hue Is now
found on hand in most large business
houses and accounting rooms.
The government Is Just as bad as IL
ever was and perhaps worse.
Take the case OF Mr.. John i. Wal
lace, whose resignation as chief en-
gineer OF the Panama canal caused so
much comment few days ago.
In Washington they had more con-
fdence In his ability than In his hon.
esty. and In consequence he was not
allowed to purchase for the govern
ment the simplest things that he
needed in his work.
For instance, he required four hun
dred pounds of rock salt Immediately
for some purpose.
Could he buy 1t and charge ii up TO
the governments
Not ON your life.
1t had TO be purchased In Washing
ton. and before that could be done,
printed posters had to be issued stat.
ing that bids woald be received and
the usual forn,alities gone through
with, which possibly meant that by
the time the rock salt got down To
Panama, the necessity for 1t woulc
have gone.
Somebody down on the canal want.
ed pair of rubber gloves, but the
person who needed them for use In
the government service could not bt
trusted to get them In Panama.
Bids for one pair Of rubber gloves
had to be advertised for In Washing
ton,
1t is presumed that the government
had full confidence In the ability o
the man to use the gloves, II he wer,
still alive when he got them, but Il
had no confidence In his honest,
whtn II came TO buying them.
Wouldn't it make for the genera
honesty, " people were trusted a lit
tie more?
Doesn't the continual suspicion
that everyone is dishonest help I,
create dishonesty by inspiring an un
fortunate estimate Of human char
acter?-Butte Miner.
