made against this hydra of monsters
|the liar. The liar question is more prac-
tical than the liquor, gambling, race
io1nd money, tariff, free trade or Pana-
faas Canal questions.
All shades of controversy pertaining to
the right kind of government fade into
utter insignifcance when compared with
that movement which will remove the
liar IRON our borders. In all great re-
lformatory movements this greater ques-
tion seems to have been ignored or for
gotten. Without hindrance the evil OF
lying has been busily engaged in its
deadly work.
It now with ghost like approach and
|deathfnl grip is throttling the public con-
silence. Notwithstanding the high or er
|oS moral and Christian education among
|us all suffer from its bastard conse-
Iqnences.
There seems to be justification for
certain classes of lives that weaken the
Eeforts. Morality may peal forth. Once
Ethe charge of lying was made after very
|serious consideration. Now charges of
Tying come from high and low places OF
|public and private character without the
least degree of compulsion or comrunc-
Ition. This unquestionably betrays
now common the crime of lying really is.
q The liar is the horror Of horrors. He
en- bitters the sweets of the bridal cham
Ser; commits sacrilege in the presence
| pf the dead. He prevents the righteous
Intentions that are brought togethsr in
Ethe council of nations; drives from Its
home the spirit Of confidence, purity,
lsanctity, imperils the public morals
bights every hope by sinking it into
such state as eternal damnation de-
terees. Prevail against the liar.
Begin reformation where needed most.
Turn the Woman's Christian Union
loose on the liar. The boasted influence
lof the press. the music Of the poet, the
IPhiIlipic Of the oratar, the prayers Of the
saint should be turned against the liar.

When they took Rosa Torturici's
baby from her arms yesterday and
thrust her into the autopsy-room Of
the Morgue. where the mutilated re-
mains Of Biaggio Vilardo lay. there
ensued a scene that chilled the hearts
of men hardened to horrors
The door was opened suddenly. Two
detectives thrust her in. She did not
even glance to where the sheeted rem
nants OF human being lay; but turned
on the officers like a frenzied animal.

sake. no!''

Looking from right to left with the
expression of a hunted animal, she
walked between two detectives to the
Morgue. The baby cooed gleefully at
the pleasant sunlight and patted the
mother upon the cheek
The woman's head sank and she
pressed her lips to the chfld's soft
cheek. For an instant the scowl disap-
peared and the light OF mother love
transfigured her.
