DISHONEST TESTIMONY.

in the council meeting Tuesday
night Councilman T. r. Black. Amer
lean" party spokesman, presented
charges attested to by four former and
present employees of the city street de-
partment, that these four had received
a days pay each for work they did not
do. and turned the money over to the
Democratic campaign fund through
some. unnamed person. The charge was
denounced as untrue by S. NJ. T. Sed-
don, former head of the street depart
ment.
The significant thing about the affair
is the fact that four men who swore to
receiving money for which they did
no work are kept i'm the city employ by
Raleigh. the present street supervisor,
although, II they could be believed un-
der oath they have been guilty of dis
honesty which should bar them from
any employment whatever under the
city It is worth noting, too, that the
same four men found it convenient to
change their political affiliations as
soon as a new administration came into
confess dishonesty In order to further
the plans of their new employers.
Their charge, on the face of it, is un-
worthy of belief but if it were their
own admission is enough 10 discredit
the motives which inspired t. Giving
campaign contributions is part of
public employees burden. and in itself
carries no discredit as politics are run
now; but compelling employees to pay
regular "tithing," a fixed proportion Of
their salaries continuously. as the
Americans" planned to do, is so near
common blackmail as to approach the
criminal line. Because they were
caught at the "tithing" game. the
American" councilmen, led by the I'M
speakable Black, have evidently in
spired the charges furnished by their
employees to distract public attention
from the "tithing" business and dis
credit the last city administration.
Obviously there is but one proper
course for the council to take. They
ought to discharge the men who admit
taking money they did not earn; they
ought to compel the restitution of the
money by the man who received it, if
they can prove the charge; and they
ought to give notice TO every city en-
ploye that contributions to political
campaign funds viii not be received
from any one on the city payroll ex-
cepting the heads of departments Then
they ought TO investigate Raleigh's
management of the street department,
stop the employment of minors on
street work, see whose teams are being
favored in street employ and clean
house generally.
Then. and not till then. the public
might believe that the present admin
istration, and especially the street de-
partment, is making some effort to
conduct it's business honestly and with
a view to real public service.

THE AVERAGE OF HONESTY.

Students of the psychological law of
suggestion will be interested in a study
of the public average of honesty pub
lished in the Outlook by Philip Loring
Allen. The author was curious to know
whether the wave of agitation on ques-
lions OF morality had had any effect
outside OF public and political life where
the agitation had centered most. It
occurred 20 Mr.. Allen that the records
of the fidelity companies of the coun-
try might afford basis Of calculation,
and the conscience fund of the gov
eminent another.
with these as his foundation, Mr..
Allen found that the record Of losses
for dishonesty of men under bond
dropped from an average of $147 a year
on every hundred thousand dollars Of
bonds in the nine years. 1S96-1904, down
to an average of $11O for 1905, when the
moral agitation was at its height. At
tho same time the contributions to the
conscience fund of the government,
which receives money Festituted anony-
uousIy. were over twice as large as
for any similar average period. A still
more remarkable result and one which
is most picturesque. is the testimony
of several hotel managers that the wave
of reform struck those amiable lar
cenists who made a practice OF accu-
nulating souvenir spoons at the ex-
pense of the hotels they visited in their
travels.
Mr.. Aliens conclusion that the aver
age Of honesty in the country has risen.
and that it is a direct result of agita-
ton on public morals seems fairly well
justified; and il is easily accounted for
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-08-29

on scientific and moral grounds. Men
in the mass will do things they would
not think of/doing as individuals; and
individuals Will follow the example Of
others who are looked upon as re-
spectacle, even when they know the
practice is questionable. The masses
saw men accumulate wealth and power
by doubtful means without losing the
regard of their fellows They saw the
law disregarded and brought into con-
tempt by the commercial and financial
leaders Of the country. They saw men
in public life openly venal, and they
saw business men succeed, financially,
by methods that a decade or more ago
would have disgraced them. A general
loosening of morals ensued, partly be-
cause men were absorbed in the desire
for success, or what they called sue
cess. at any cost, partly because the
country had departed from its old-time
traditions. The discussion of dis
cial affairs, the punishment of some Of
tenders and the social degradation of
others, resulted in what the old-fash-
toned Methodists would have called a
revival. From college sports, where
victory seemed important enough to
justify dishonesty, up to the highest
walks Of life, men paused to wonder
how far they had fallen, and whether
it was not time to retrace their steps.
What the managers of the insurance
thought OF shame, suddenly appeared
dishonest and criminal; the campaign
contributions which both great parties
had accepted cheerfully from corpora
tions appeared in their true light as
gifts to insure a corrupt protection;
the carelessness of the packers, which
all Chicago had known and which had
been pointed out often, shocked a ma
ton when it was again exposed to pub
lie contemplation.
In all these things the change was
in the point of view, not in the fact
itself, which had existed and been toll
Grated complacently for a period. Back
in the days when Mr.. Bryan first ran
for the presidency men laughed at his
arraignment of corporation gifts and
called him an anarchist, because he was
outspoken and honest in his views. Now
men call him conservative and hail him
as one who has grown and learned
much, though the truth is Mr.. Bryan
saw and realized in advance of his
countrymen the evils which all men
have since recognized as dangerous.
They, and not he, have grown in grace
and learned the real conditions which
threatened the very existence of the
nation.
That the country is better for its
awakening is true. and it is good to be-
lieve that the return to foundation laws
In public and private life bids fair to
be permanent. The CRATER has been
i'm existence since history has been
known, but the day of the CRATER in
America is not as long nor as bright
as it was a few years ago. Thanks
to an awakened public conscience and
the power OF publicity, he is being
driven to cover and his occupation is
known for what it is-a violation of
every law, civil and moral The ma
tional average of honesty is getting
better.
