Our Nature to Find Excuses

TT is the nature of man to find excuses for him
self at any cost of cOmmonsense or by any round
about process of reasoning. Absolute justice IN
self consideration is a thing among mortals.
Few men, caught by others or catching themselves
in an act of treachery meanness, will address
their images in their dressing glass and say unto
themselves This day l did underhand and
contemplate thing. The instructive propensity
is all in the other direction. Most men will search
about taking the most devious mental paths, for
a balm wherewith the hurt to their latent
self respect They will seek out, and find, reasons
a-plenty why the action neither treacherous
nor mean but the only possible thing they could have
done in the circumstances. THE other fellow de-
served it. He brought it himself l had to-
This is more or less the way of the modern world
1t is an innate and universal trait that search
laboriouslv for reasons why we have to- do those
wrongful things that make for success profit
comfort, or self protection.
The professional criminal rarely is able to elucdate
to his satisfaction just why the world regards
his life as all wrong Among the so termed high
class criminals, two qualities chiefly, not to
say exclusively, admired: courage at critical juno
lures and loyalty pals. If the criminal possesses
these, he is not only approved by his pals but he
approves of himself and he fails to understand why
he should be considered enemy of society.
Thus, good many of u.s. in a broad way OF speak
ing point out ourselves redeem1ng traits,
rarely turning the retrospective spotlight
on our shortcomings our positive deVlatlons
from the path of righteousness. And if, driven to
such introspection by the insstent pulsngs of con-
science do hold our apses up to own view and
scrutinze them, it not the inevitable drift that
end by reaching the conclusion that we had to -?

And the Bride Givers
A ND the bride gvers too have an elaborate outfit
of self condonng phrases with which they seek
to mitigate even in their own view the corruPtness
if they expected to get anything. They would
have been lost in the discard of competition sent
to the Stag heap ruined in their business, had they
not fallen in with the common and accepted prac-
t1ce and come across; that is to say given brides
Tney never believed in bribery, of course. They
abhorred it. They wanted to be good citizens
crowded Were they to stand by and other
fellows getting everything, while they stood by,
nursing their virtue and getting nothing?
Anyhow, isn't this bribery game gong on every

stretched palm of the corrupt politician? Certainly
Well, then. They are sorry, OF course; but the
thing had become so common and so much matter
of course that really, they had fallen out of the
habit of considering it actual bribery Bribery YOU
know, is pretty severe word Moreover, they
couldn't go to the wall, could they? They had their
wives and families to think about hadn't they:
Thus the bribe givers too ring In the pathos, and
become choked and hoarse as they proceed with
their self condonation and there isn't the slightest
reason in life to suppose that they do not believe
that they have made out the finest imaginable case
for themselves.
The charitableness with which perfectly honest
and fair dealing men view all of lapses from the
we'll understood standards of individual morality

taid Mr.. Taft. about the reasons labc
men should support the ticket and my
talk will cover the question of the full

Mr.. Taft then made his tariff argu'
ment, showing from his standpoint
that protection of American manulac
turers protected also the men VINO
worked for the manufacturers agains'
the pauper labor of Europe. When ne
had finished that part of the speech
questions from the audience, still IT
/ sisted that the full dinner pail,
question had not been answered an,
Mr.. Taft said, "All right | will an
swer you"

and said that if labor men wished t'
fill the dinner pail that he had beer

would have TO choose between himself
as representing tn party that had les
