is LYING A NATIONAL VIcE7

Miss Ida Tarbell who says lying is
a national vico In America. is a wo-
man Of broad knowledge She has
studied for rears the methods Of the
country. She has particularly studied
men in high finance. She knows more
about the particular things she has
investigated than most men who have
had equal opportunities and have civ.
en- equal attention to the same sub.
jects And being a woman she has a
better view of the relations that exist
between business and society than
most men. Miss Tarbell ought to be
an authoritative commentator Is she
right In declaring that lying is an
American vice?
Beyond doubt she Is correct in re.
garding lying as one of the greatest
evils in the life she has studied. But
should she call it a national evil /!
That is the question. And this quail.
flying word raises serious doubt,
II Il does not at once provoke
denial. This is not yet nation OF plu.
tOcrats, nor even nation of those
VINO are trying 10 be plutocrats. It is
still an agricultural country On the
farms and in the rank and file of
those engaged In the industries the
truth tellers far outnumber the liars.
Plutocracy has gained powerfully in
numbers and influence in recent
years It's worship of material pros.
perlty has grown apace. And that is
the life that Miss Tarbell has studied.
But II she will go next TO the soil,
go among the modest homes, among
the millions OF unpretentious people
who make up the vast bdly OF the ma.
ton. and study these cases as she has
studied the classes whose holy of ho-
lies Is at 26 Broadway, she will mod
ify her characterization Of the great
evil of lying. It is great enough. Heav-
en- knows; but strictly speaking it is
not national.
If II were national then there would
be little hope for the reforms that
Miss Tarbell has done so much to agi
tate and so much toward bringing
about. But the masses are honest and
truthful Therein lies the greatness of
the United states and the hope of its
security Star

THE KNEISEL QUARTET.
Alfred Reisenauer, the Pianist, Assists In
the Schumann Quintet.

The Kneisel Quartet concert in Mendes-
sohn Hall last night was another of those
entertainments for which this popular
organization Is noted. Comment or these
concerts is prone to fall into a rut Of SNUG
praise, because the average Of merit Is so
high that when anything goes wrong it
affords ground for something like excite
ment. But something goes wrong very
seldom. The programmes are rarely de-
ficient in interest, and last nights was one
of agreeable chara cter.
1t began with a movement from Schu-
bert's G ma ior quartet. opus 1871, which
was followed by a movement from the c
minor quartet Of Frederick A. Stock, the
successor OF Theodore Thomas as conduc-
tor of the Chicago orchestra. The inclusion
of this excerpt must be attributed to that
liberality Of view which Mr.. Kneisel so
often displays in his selection Of music.
He is kind to the struggling. The central
number of the list was Beethoven's quartet
in p fiat major, opus 100, and it goes without
saying that the four artists inter preted
this composition with loving care.
The final number was the ever welcome
Schumann quintet. in which Alfred Reisen-
auer took the piano part. Mr.. Risenauer
is well-known to this public as q performer
OF large style and vigorous inclination.
The Schumanp music is quite In the gamut
of his emotions, but possibly a pianist of
less generous tone would produce moro
satisfying results.

this hereP No, we do not,
we are proud Of our race and proud
of our religion, but this great excessive
pride makes us narrow.
sThere are lessons TO be learned from the
people with whom we come in contact. |

buy a small cottage at Long Branch in the
summer at a fabulous sum and live one
fcontinuous round of gayety when another
not of our race with vastly more wealth
viii live in a cabin somewhere in the back
woods and enjoy the simple life?
And there is not sufficient regard for
simple manners When one Jew enters
another's home rivalry starts at once with
the mention of the word gold. We live

There should be no loldness; don't put
your nose in everywhere,
Nov, don't think l am a bad jew because

Nj Straus went on to talk of the power

Jews as a race. The Jews are by nature
