men, on oath or otherwise?
is a question that has
been excited by the utter
ances of few men,, and
at least one woman, who have In pub
lie recently insisted that women as a
general proposition have no sense of
the binding sanctity of an oath and
are blind to the moral obligation of
telling the truth.
A few days ago, came DR.. William
ii. Taylor, state chemist of Virginia,
in a lecture to the students of the
State Medical College of Virginia,
proclaimed that woman had mo
conception of the moral obligation en-
tailed in telling the truth" In his
opinion truth with woman Is what
she wants to be believed. She is con-
WINGED that what she calls her "intui-
tions" must always be right.
AS buttress to what these mere
men" have asserted comes Mary Hea-
writer for the magazines, who as
serts that few women can be depended
upon to tell the truth, she presumably
being one of the few; that they beat"
street railway companies; that they
listen at telephones, betray conf
dences. sneak the reading of letters;
and that she believes the statement
of an old Judge who told her that
upon the witness stand women would
invariably periure themselves"
These declarations were so sweep
ing and so extraordinary that the
Pittsburg Dispatch was led to seek
the opinions of some Pittsburg wom-
Ell of note, who could be depended
upon to say what they thought re-
CARELESS of any reflection upon their
own sex-women who think independ-
emily and whose thoughts are well de-
fined and their language well thought
out. One of these is Mrs. Enoch
Rauh, president of the Council of
Jewish Women.
Not a Question of Sex.
"The telling of truth Is absolutely
not matter of SEX" was the en-
Iphatic answer to a query by the rep
resentative of the Dispatch. Both
sexes equivocate and evade upon oc-
casion and no one will hazard his rep
utation for veracity by saying that
women should be singled out for this
mark of opprobrium as distinct from
men. Both are of the same blood and
fiber, and whatever denunciation lies
against the one in the matter of stat
ing what is untrue lies against the
other.
81 cannot understand how any man
or woman of intelligent appreciation
OF the worlds activities could sink to
the depths of uttering such SANDER
against the mothers. sisters and
daughters who are responsible for the
maternity of their kind of both sexes.
The Spanish Fork press. [volume] (Spanish Fork, Utah) 1902-current, 1908-04-02

II would be one of the most astound
ing of paradoxes II they could bring
into the world one sex more addicted
than another to the telling of un-
truths under any circumstances. Take
the great question of heredity for in
stance. 1t is the testimony of some of
the greatest physicians of this and
other times that the sons unusually in
herit the traits of the mothers and
the daughters those of their fathers.
Now how shall we assimilate this UNI
questioned dlctum of science with the
assertions of these gentlemen that
women are more prone than men to
evade the truth? You see that the
whole proposition falls to the ground.
1t is not possible that environment

Proper discipline In his early
youth would probably have had
such effect upon Mr.. Taylor that

wanted it to be true. The man would
tell the lie direct, knowing that it was
a lie, and telling it to make his case
or that of the person in whose inter.
est he was testifying.
Women More Emotional
"Of course, as everyone knows,
women are far more emotional than
men. They are therefore more likely
to be swayed by their sentiments. |

for this very reason women are some

CONFERENCE IN REGARD

Knox, Mass, July 29.-Many prose
cutting officers of the government with
the assistance of several leaders in
the practice of law, including Frank
B. Kellog of Minnesota, took up the
consideration today of the question
whether the criminal suit against the
Standard Oil Company for alleged re-
batting and other violations of the
interstate commerce laws shall be fur
ther pressed in the courts. The distin-
guished gathering was brought about
by the invitation of Attorney General
Bonaparte. The governments posi-

HARDWICk DENIES THE
SUCCESS OF RPOHIBITION.

E. F. Hardwick left Monday night
for Artesia to look after his property
interests there. Mr.. Hardwick owns
property in this city and in Artesia
He was formerly interested in sa-
looms in both towns, and took excep-
tions to the article printed in Mon
days Record quoting S. P. Henry OF
Artesia, VINO is an ex-saIoon man,
and who said here that Artesia was
more prosperous since the saloons
were abolished and that the laws
were strictly enforced.
MIR. Hardwick said: There are
two joints in Artesia now selling
iHiawatha" and Schlitz Fizz,'' two
per cent beer, and in the past ten
days | have seen six or eight men
drunk on the streets of Artesia. The
fact of the business is that both of
the prohibition papers in Artesia
have never said a word about the op-
Grafton of these 1.-TWO per cent" joints
in Artesia. I would much prefer op-
en-, licensed, well conducted saloons
to two per cent joints and bootleg
gers. 1 hardly thing the city of Ar
tesla made a good trade when she
traded off without boot two saloons
paying an annual license of $500, for
two joints without revenue"
