which make for development and
progress. and the Dispatch deserves
thanks for contributing to the 'gayety
of nations by giving us a chance to
say a word in answer to even the
most obscure of dialecticians who
have presumed to air their oratory
upon a theme which was certain to
attract some attention and excite
curiosity IL not respect"
Equivocate In Little Things.
: This matter of evading the truth
is even far older than the remark
made by an eminent historic person
age that he had said in his haste that
all men were liars" was the remark
of Mrs. Samuel A. Ammon, well
known for her great activities in civic
affairs, when the caustic assertions of
DR.. Taylor were broached to her. 1T
is quite possible and defendable," con-
tinued Mrs. Ammon, that in what we
may call the little things of life
women evade the truth more often
than men do, because they are
brought into contact with those lit
tie things, chiefly domestic, more than
men are. Shall we tell the diseased
that they are afflicted incurably?
Shall we say to the dying that there
Is no hope for them? Shall we give
an absolutely blunt direct answer to
prying inquiries which should never
have had utterance and which may
most probably be repeated as gossip
with such coloring as repetition and
imagination may inspire?
The question of answering truth
telling Is one which has agitated the
deepest of analytical minds, but the
greatest of these has not been led to
assert that immortality of prevarica-
tibn was most highly developed in
women than In men. Whatever fail
ing there may be is to be equally con-
demned in both sexes. 1t Is quite pos
sible and quite natural that where
the affections are involved the woman
may be more easily swayed than the
man. She is more the creature OF
sentiment and emotion. Her friend
ships and loves are deeper and dearer.
Therefore, on the witness stand, she
may the more readily, and surely
more unconsciously. depart from the
exact truth when the interests of
those whom she loves are involved.
But she does 1t unconsciously or
almost so. II at all. It Is o psycholog-
ical impulse.

after birth could so warp and distort
the natural tendencies. These gentle
men who have been so widely quoted
evidently know little of the world of
women. They have placed themselves
on record after very superficial and
perfunctory analysis Of the sex. The
very fact that they have been quoted
at all indicates that their views are al
together bizarre. If this had been
an established fact in all the thou
sands of years of the history of the
human race their belligerent procla-
nations would not have been noticed.

less to be believed than
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
III. Taylor, state chemist of Virginia,
in lecture to the students of the
State Medical College Of Virginia,
proclaimed that a woman had mo
conception of the moral obligation en-
tailed in telling the truth" In his
opinion truth with a woman is what
she wants to be believed. She Is con-
vinced that what she calls her "intui-
uons" must always be right.
AS buttress to what these mere
men" have asserted comes Mary Hea-
ton Worse, woman of some note as a
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 perjure themselves"
These declarations were so sweep
ing and so extraordinary that the
Pittsburg Dispatch was led to seek
the opinions of some Pittsburg wom-
en- of note, who could be depended
upon to say what they thought re-
gardless of any reflection upon their
own sex-women who think independ-
emily and whose thoughts are well det
fined and their language well thought
out. One of these Is Mrs. Enoch
Rauh, president of the Council of
Jewish Women.
Not Question Of Sex.
",fhe telling OF truth is absolutely
not matter of SEX" was the en-
phatic 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.
II cannot understand how any man
or woman of Intelligent appreciation
of the worlds activities could sink to
the depths of uttering such a slander
against the mothers. sisters and
daughters who are responsible for the
maternity of their kind of both sexes.

night denied that the physical condi-

The statement made this evening
that Mr. Hartman is seriously i'll is
untrue" he declared.
The statement referred to was pub

afternoon paper. The writer. referring
to the reports on Monday that Mr.. Har-

parenthesis that it was learned that
the illness was much more serious
than was admitted"
During the few days that Mr. Har-
riman has remained at home in con-
sequence of what was described as a
slight bilious attack there have been
repeated rumors that he was ill. These
rumors have been promptly denied at
his home, where it was said he was
availing himself of the opportunity
for brief holiday respite from Office
routine.
